465: Black Mist Tribe

However, rules and regulations only bind ordinary monks, and Hui Che didn't mind them at all.

After completely convincing himself with this reasoning, Hui Che began to feast heartily.

"We'll go to the Black Mist Tribe tomorrow."

Chen Heng said to Wu Man, who was stuffing meat into his mouth.

"Alright." Wu Man nodded, immediately turning to look at Chen Heng.

"Going tomorrow?"

"It's quite far; it'll take half a month to walk there."

"Who said anything about walking?" Chen Heng raised an eyebrow, and Luo Shuo and the others looked at Wu Man with pity.

"Oh, right, Chen Heng, you can fly." Wu Man nodded, completely oblivious to the sympathetic glances from Luo Shuo and the others.

"That settles it. I'll take you to the Black Mist Tribe tomorrow."

"Do I need to bring anything? After all, I'm asking for their help."

Chen Heng rubbed his chin. Although he had a strange temperament, he bore no ill will towards strangers.

On the contrary, he was quite polite.

"Hehe, you don't need to bring anything. They're just eager for someone to help them kill the Black Witch God."

"That's good then."

...The next morning... or rather, it wasn't exactly morning; it was after Chen Heng woke up.

After all, this wretched place, the Yin Side, has no sun, so there's no distinction between day and night.

At most, it's slightly brighter during the day and darker at night.

"Let's go." Chen Heng kicked Wu Man, who was still sound asleep.

"Hm! Who?" Wu Man immediately opened his eyes, only relaxing when he saw Chen Heng.

"Get up, stop sleeping." Chen Heng nudged Wu Man twice with his foot, but the boy remained sound asleep.

"Just a little more sleep..." Wu Man smacked his lips, curling up into a ball.

"Damn it..." Chen Heng was amused and annoyed by Wu Man.

This boy had developed a habit of sleeping in at Yi Rui's place.

The Old Woman liked young men, especially strong young men like Wu Man who had research value.

Naturally, she spoiled him quite a bit.

But Chen Heng was different; he didn't spoil anyone.

"Wait!" Seeing Chen Heng about to punch Wu Man to wake him up, Luo Shuo grabbed Chen Heng's arm.

"Brother, if you punch him, Wu Man won't wake up at all!"

"Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion!" Qi and blood began to gather in Chen Heng's arm, like a volcano about to erupt.

"I'll do it! I'll do it!" Luo Shuo, seeing that Chen Heng was really going to punch Wu Man, quickly stepped in front of Chen Heng.

Though a bit annoyed, Chen Heng wanted to see what trick Luo Shuo had up his sleeve for Wu Man.

The boy extended a finger, and a golden-red flame ignited at its tip.

Golden Crow Divine Fire!

"Right, how long has it been since I last used Netherworld Heart Fire?"

Looking at the flame on Luo Shuo's fingertip, Chen Heng, for the first time in a long while, remembered the Netherworld Heart Fire.

Ever since his power and physical strength reached a certain level, these miscellaneous techniques weren't of much use.

Their effect was not as good as a direct punch from him.

Returning his attention to Luo Shuo and Wu Man, he saw that the scoundrel Luo Shuo placed the Golden Crow Divine Fire on the sole of Wu Man's foot... Soon, a smell of roasted meat wafted from Wu Man's foot, and Silver White even bared its teeth.

Ever since it had eaten its fill and its body was full of energy, Silver White had become much more agile.

"Hmm?" Wu Man opened his eyes, somewhat dazed. He felt a slight pain in the sole of his foot.

Looking down, not just the sole, but his entire foot was enveloped in Golden Crow Divine Fire.

"Ow!"

After that yell, Wu Man was completely awake... After treatment with black phoenix blood, Wu Man's burns healed completely.

"Let's go." Chen Heng tucked Luo Shuo and Hui Che under his armpits, Wu Man hugged Chen Heng's waist, and Silver White lay on Chen Heng's back.

Compared to Luo Shuo and the other two, who had experienced this once, Wu Man was excitedly waiting for takeoff.

With a loud boom, Chen Heng instantly transformed into the brightest meteor in the sky.

The strong wind whipped Wu Man's large face, making his entire face ripple like waves.

"W-a-a-a-a-h!"

Luo Shuo and the other two glanced at the screaming Wu Man, shook their heads, and said nothing.

They knew the consequence of screaming.

That was to drink the northwest wind until one was full... Soon, Chen Heng arrived at the location Wu Man had described.

After landing, Luo Shuo and the other two, who had already adapted, looked at Wu Man with anticipation.

Wu Man fell to the ground with a thud, beads of sweat rolling down his cheeks.

"I... I..."

Wu Man seemed to want to say something, but his head, feeling like it had taken a heavy punch, prevented him from speaking.

"Alright, take a moment to recover, then quickly lead us in."

Chen Heng knew he wasn't here to annihilate a clan this time, so it was better to have someone he knew lead the way.

Otherwise, if the Black Mist Tribe people spoke harshly, Chen Heng might lose his temper, and that would be bad.

Everything else was fine, but losing the Black Witch God would be very painful.

A few minutes later, Wu Man finally regained his ability to move.

"Tsk, I was thinking of letting you experience true speed sometime."

Chen Heng pouted. Wu Man's physical quality was just average.

"Come with me, Chen Heng."

Wu Man certainly couldn't take Chen Heng's bait; if Chen Heng dragged him into flying again, he'd be finished.

Led by Wu Man, the group smoothly arrived in front of the Black Mist Tribe.

"That path just now was very dangerous. The one I took was told to me by my friend."

Wu Man pointed at the dense forest behind them. The group had just followed Wu Man, turning left and right through it.

"Ben Duo! I've come to find you!"

Wu Man took a deep breath and shouted into the seemingly empty Black Mist Tribe.

His shout scared all sorts of wild beasts in the forest, sending them scattering, and even the surrounding withered trees swayed.

"Quite a loud voice..." Luo Shuo picked at his ear; his old earwax nearly vibrated out.

Almost simultaneously, as Wu Man's voice rang out, a frail figure emerged from within.

"I told you, Wu Man, I can hear you even if you don't shout so loudly."

"If you scare Grandma, I'll be in trouble."

The voice sounded like someone scratching a blackboard with their fingernails; Chen Heng certainly grimaced listening to it.

"Ben Duo, I've brought my friends with me this time."

Wu Man completely ignored Ben Duo's complaints, put his arm around his shoulder, and began introducing Chen Heng and the others.

"!" But the moment Ben Duo saw Chen Heng, the hair on his entire body stood on end.

At the same time, thick black mist began to gush out, and within the black mist were pale white bone masks.

"Ben Duo, that's Chen Heng, he's my friend. What are you doing?"

Wu Man quickly stood between Chen Heng and Ben Duo, fearing that the two would start fighting.

"Wu Man, get out of the way! That's the legendary Great Demon, the Great Demon who will bring destruction to the world!"

Ben Duo's face was distorted, as if Chen Heng truly was a terrifying monster.
