153: Chapter 153 Chu Zhan's Incident

Zhou Wantang was sent back to the Zhou Family by Chu Sheng to contact Zhou Lie.

Chu Sheng needed an informant on the side of the Righteous Path, and Zhou Wantang was the most suitable candidate.

Before she left, Chu Sheng held her hand and said, "Be careful."

Zhou Wantang nodded and said, "Rest assured, Master, I will be careful."

Chu Sheng said, "Don't call me Master, call me Husband."

Zhou Wantang hesitated for a moment and said, "Husband."

Chu Sheng smiled and said, "Go on."

Chu Zhan volunteered to go to the front line.

Chu Sheng disagreed, saying, "You are too young; going there is just seeking death."

Chu Zhan said, "Dad, I'm over thirty, am I still young?"

Chu Sheng said, "In my eyes, you will always be a child."

Chu Zhan was speechless and muttered, "Then why don't you let my little brother go?"

Chu Sheng said, "He knows Alchemy, what do you know?"

Chu Zhan said, "I also know Alchemy, but I only refine poison pills."

Chu Sheng slapped him on the head and said, "Get lost."

Chu Dou remained at the rear, responsible for supporting with Alchemy.

He moved the pill room next to the military camp and refined pills day and night without stopping; the Pill Furnace fire never went out.

When Chu Sheng passed by, he took a look at him and said, "Take care of your health, don't exhaust yourself."

Chu Dou didn't even raise his head, staring at the Pill Furnace, and said, "I know, Dad, I will go rest after refining one more batch."

Chu Sheng saw that he even had dark circles under his eyes, and his heart felt a pang of sorrow.

This child is just as stubborn as his brother.

News came from the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons that the Earth Devil King had declared he would take Chu Zhan's head to avenge his subordinates.

When the news reached Chu Sheng's ears, he sneered and said, "Let him come."

Upon hearing the news, Chu Zhan was not afraid at all; instead, he was extremely excited and said, "Dad, let me go to the front line, I will go and twist that old guy's head off."

Chu Sheng said, "You should be able to defeat a Spirit Lake cultivator first before talking."

Chu Zhan said, "I can defeat them; wasn't that demon general last time at the Spirit Lake stage? I chopped him to death with one axe."

Chu Sheng said, "That was a sneak attack; the opponent didn't react in time. Try a head-on confrontation."

Chu Zhan was unconvinced and said, "Then I'll try, I'll just try."

Chu Sheng slapped him on the head again and said, "Try your ass."

Yu Rumeng came out of seclusion; although her cultivation did not have a Breakthrough, her aura was more solid.

When she heard about the Earth Devil King's declaration, she only said two words: "Seeking death."

The tone was light, as if she were saying that the weather was nice today.

Chu Sheng looked at her expression and felt a chill in his heart.

This woman was truly angry.

At night, Chu Sheng held Yu Rumeng and asked her what she planned to do.

Yu Rumeng closed her eyes and said, "Wait."

Chu Sheng asked, "Wait for what?"

Yu Rumeng said, "Wait for him to make the first move."

Chu Sheng said, "What if he doesn't come?"

Yu Rumeng said, "Then we wait for him to come."

Chu Sheng was speechless and said, "How is that any different from not waiting?"

Yu Rumeng turned over, facing away from him, and said, "Sleep."

Chu Sheng looked at her back, and a bad premonition suddenly welled up in his heart.

The Earth Devil King was no easy character, with a cultivation level at the Late Stage of Sea Opening and countless demon generals under his command.

If he really came, could their side stop him?

Although Yu Rumeng was at the Middle Stage of Palace Building, the Earth Devil King was at the Late Stage of Palace Building; he was a ruthless person who had humiliated the Queen of Beiyuan Kingdom last time. If they really fought, the outcome would be hard to predict.

The Old Grandfather in the ring said, "What are you worried about?"

Chu Sheng said, "I am worried about Chu Zhan."

The Old Grandfather said, "Chu Zhan has Yu Rumeng protecting him, what are you worried about?"

Chu Sheng said, "Then what if Yu Rumeng can't protect him?"

The Old Grandfather was silent for a moment and said, "Then it depends on you, as his father."

Chu Sheng closed his eyes, his mind in a mess.

He knew that this Chu Zhan could not be avoided.

The Earth Devil King wanted Chu Zhan's head, and Yu Rumeng could not give it to him, so they had to fight.

Once the fight started, it would be a Chu Zhan to the death.

Early the next morning, Chu Sheng went to find the Palace Master Su Yousi.

He needed to know the Nine Nether Palace's attitude regarding this matter.

The Palace Master Su Yousi was drinking tea. Seeing Chu Sheng arrive, she raised her eyelids and said, "A rare guest, what wind blew you here?"

Chu Sheng got straight to the point and said, "The Earth Devil King wants to kill my son, will the Nine Nether Palace intervene?"

The Palace Master Su Yousi put down her teacup, looked at him, and said slowly, "Your son is not my son, why should I care?"

Chu Sheng's heart sank.

The Palace Master Su Yousi looked at him and suddenly laughed: "However, your wife is my person. Your son can also be considered half a member of the Nine Nether Palace."

"If the Earth Devil King wants to touch someone from the Nine Nether Palace, I naturally will not stand by and watch."

Chu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then what do you plan to do?"

The Palace Master Su Yousi stood up, walked to the window, and looked into the distance, her voice faint: "Wait. Wait for him to make the first move."

Chu Sheng was stunned.

How was it exactly the same as what Yu Rumeng said?

The Palace Master Su Yousi turned her head, looked at him, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly: "What? Do you think I discussed this with your wife?"

Chu Sheng opened his mouth, unable to speak.

The Palace Master Su Yousi laughed and said, "Go back, watch over your son."

Chu Sheng walked out of the Nine Nether Palace, his mind in a mess.

He knew that the Palace Master Su Yousi and Yu Rumeng were playing a game of chess, and he was just a chess piece on the board.

The Old Grandfather in the ring said, "Don't think too much. Whether it's a chess piece or a chess player, as long as you can survive, that's all that matters."

Chu Sheng nodded and said, "I know."

Returning to the camp, Chu Zhan was carrying an axe and practicing, and seeing Chu Sheng return, he grinned and said, "Dad, where did you go?"

Chu Sheng said, "I went to find your Aunt Su."

Chu Zhan asked, "What for?"

Chu Sheng said, "To let her protect you."

Chu Zhan scratched his head and said, "Dad, aren't you too cowardly? I'm not afraid of that Earth Devil King."

Chu Sheng slapped him on the head and said, "You aren't afraid, but I am."

Chu Zhan rubbed his head, chuckled, and said, "Dad, don't worry, I definitely won't die."

Chu Sheng looked at him and suddenly felt his eyes get a bit hot.

This brat, just like his mother, is afraid of nothing.

But he knew that in this Immortal Realm, people who are not afraid of death are often the ones who die the fastest.

At night, Chu Sheng sat alone outside the tent, staring blankly at the moon in the sky.

Yu Rumeng walked over, sat beside him, leaned on his shoulder, and said, "What are you thinking about?"

Chu Sheng said, "Thinking about Chu Zhan."

Yu Rumeng said, "What's there to think about? He won't be in any trouble."

Chu Sheng said, "How do you know?"

Yu Rumeng said, "Because he is my son."

Chu Sheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

That's right, Chu Zhan is her son.

With her there, Chu Zhan would be fine.

He reached out and put his arm around her shoulder, pulling her closer.

Yu Rumeng leaned in his arms, closed her eyes, and her breathing gradually steadied.

Chu Sheng looked down at her, and a strange feeling suddenly welled up in his heart.

This woman is his Dao Companion, his son's mother, and one of the most important people in his life.

But he always felt that she was hiding something in her heart that she hadn't told him.

What could it be?

He didn't know.

But he knew that one day, she would tell him.

In the distance, the lights of the Tianfeng Kingdom border were faintly visible.

Chu Sheng looked in that direction and suddenly remembered something: his son hadn't returned for three days, and not a single message had been sent back.

Could something have happened to him?

Chu Sheng frowned, and that bad premonition in his heart welled up again.
