Chapter 2077: Chapter 2077: No, I Want to Meet That Kid Myself
"Still not leaving? Are you waiting for me to change my mind?"
Su Chen’s icy voice echoed.
Upon hearing this voice, the person shivered completely and immediately fled in fear, reaching his fastest speed.
He truly feared that this young man would suddenly change his mind, and he would end up like the others...
"Su Chen, you..."
Gu Jinko didn’t know what to say because Su Chen’s actions were simply too insane!
Probably no one else would dare to do such a thing!
But does he understand what he’s up against?
Firstly, there are those who want to kill him to gain rewards or curry favor with that Young Master Qiu. Only if a tenth of the Second Grade or Third Rank forces participate, that’s quite a few people!
The people of Third Rank forces are easier to deal with, but what about those of Second Grade forces?!
Some of the stronger Second Grade forces even have Integration Realm masters!
When the time comes, can he handle it?
After all, Integration Realm is a whole large realm leap; it’s completely incomparable to Pure Origin Realm!
"There’s a hill over there. Let’s wait there."
Su Chen seemed relaxed and walked toward the hill.
He wasn’t worried that the person he let go wouldn’t spread the news, because it did him no harm, and could even gain favor with that Young Master Qiu.
...
Indeed, one told ten, ten told a hundred, and soon many forces knew about this matter.
In fact, after so many days, the forces had somewhat heard that Young Master Qiu from the Heavenly Profound Sect was offering a very generous reward to find a boy from a Third Rank force.
They were all curious about what happened to that boy, to provoke Qiu Chen.
But there was one thing they were certain of: that boy was doomed, it was only a matter of time.
But now, they’re baffled!
Their minds couldn’t process thoughts normally!
According to normal logic, he should be desperately hiding, trying to live a little longer.
But now, he’s voluntarily exposing his identity and location, and spreading the news widely; what’s going on?!
Such a way to court death is unheard of!
Many forces who heard about this couldn’t resist their curiosity and headed to the location of that young man!
They wanted to see what exactly the boy intended!
...
Not only did this news confuse others, but it also baffled that Young Master Qiu!
At that time, he was cultivating in a temporarily set-up tent.
As for the treasure-seeking task, naturally, there were others handling it, without needing his attention.
When he heard this news, he was completely stunned, his eyes filled with bewilderment.
This demeanor lasted for several dozen breaths because he simply couldn’t believe it!
"Has this news been verified?"
Then, he stuttered and asked.
"It shouldn’t be far off; that boy is outside now."
The person who brought him the news said.
"Let him come in."
Qiu Chen instructed, and then the man was brought in.
"Young Master Qiu."
Upon seeing Young Master Qiu, the man immediately knelt down.
This was instinctive, although he was a top disciple of a Second Grade lower force, Young Master Qiu was high above him.
"Describe the encounter you had with that kid."
Qiu Chen said coldly, and his tone was more of a command than a query.
The man didn’t find anything improper and recounted the incident.
When he mentioned how the young man easily defeated them, Qiu Chen’s eyes showed a hint of astonishment.
According to this man’s account, the boy’s strength should have reached the Integration Realm.
This didn’t quite match what Wei Guanghua had told him, it was rather unexpected!
Of course, for him, it was just that!
"He didn’t kill me; he wanted me to do him a favor."
Finally, the man said:
"That is to spread the news of his location. I thought this should be informed to Young Master Qiu, so I specially came over."
"Good, thank you."
Qiu Chen said indifferently.
"Young Master Qiu, I’ll go over now and make sure that kid dies without a place for burial."
At that time, the person who reported the news said.
Qiu Chen pondered slightly upon hearing these words, and then said:
"No, I want to meet that kid in person."
"Young Master Qiu, with your status, it’s really not necessary."
The man advised, throwing in a bit of flattery.
"Originally, I had no feelings toward that kid."
Upon hearing this, a trace of cold, cruel smile appeared on Qiu Chen’s face:
"But now... my interest in him is growing."
"I really want to see where that kid’s confidence comes from!"
...
On the relatively spacious hill, Su Chen and Gu Jinko sat apart on the ground, then started cultivating.
Actually, Su Chen wasn’t cultivating; he was studying the "Wind Shadow Step."
Similarly, Gu Jinko wasn’t cultivating; she couldn’t focus on cultivating, because an imminent storm was about to arrive!
She looked at Su Chen not far away, seeing him with a calm face, like a meditating monk.
She was curious, how could he remain so calm at this time?
Could it be that he had some unknown trump card?!
The more she looked at him, the more Gu Jinko felt she couldn’t understand this man!
Recalling their acquaintance, it seemed she had never seen through this man; instead, his secrets seemed to grow.
"Su Chen, let’s leave now while we still can."
Gu Jinko couldn’t help but say again.
She said "again" because, after sitting down, she had repeatedly expressed similar thoughts, directly or indirectly, openly or subtly.
For example, "That Young Master Qiu’s strength is terrifying; staying here is too dangerous."
Or, "Even without considering Young Master Qiu, many people have come to take his life."
Or, "Su Chen, we should quickly go treasure hunting; with your speed, we’ve missed out on many treasures!"
But regardless of what Gu Jinko said, Su Chen seemed not to hear, still sitting like an immovable pine, his expression unchanged.
And this time was no different.
Gu Jinko also thoroughly gave up because she knew nothing she said would help.
Even though she was incredibly scared, believing it would be difficult for Su Chen to escape this ordeal, she didn’t consider fleeing and leaving Su Chen alone.
However, staying here was truly torturous for her.
"Finally, someone is coming!"
Just then, Su Chen suddenly heard faint footsteps from afar.
His eyes abruptly opened, and a brilliant light shone forth, piercing through the void!
