Chapter 2125: Chapter 2093: A Chance Encounter in the City

Under Li Chen’s overwhelming aura, the group almost had no room to resist, and very quickly spilled everything.

Of course, that couldn’t be done without a little "force" that Li Chen quietly exerted.

Under the influence of a power that tampered with their minds, the few of them confessed absolutely everything.

By the time they came back to their senses, they had more or less laid out everything they knew about the Heaven Sea Alliance, and each of them broke out in a cold sweat. They exchanged glances, none of them knowing why something so bizarre had just happened.

"Alright, since you all cooperated so obediently, I won’t take your lives." Li Chen said leisurely, like an old god at ease.

To be honest, whether he killed these few guys or not really didn’t affect Li Chen much.

A few people like this simply weren’t enough to affect him in any meaningful way.

If he wanted to, wiping this city off the map was something he could do with a flick of his hand.

This wasn’t an exaggeration; if anything, it was putting it mildly. At this Grade, exterminating a city with a wave of his hand was easy as could be. As for Menghai City’s City Defense Array, to him it was nothing but a joke.

It was just that Li Chen had no need to do such a thing.

Not just Li Chen—other top-level powerhouses were the same. If it wasn’t absolutely necessary, almost no one would go around destroying cities.

At this Grade, they all understood that there existed a Force of Fortune between Heaven and Earth, and that if one carried out too much slaughter, especially harming innocents, it would damage that Fortune.

Of course, Li Chen didn’t really care; the Force of Fortune on him was simply too immense. A bit more or less truly didn’t matter to him.

Even so, he wasn’t that kind of person. He merely erased a few of their memories with a casual move, then drifted away.

By the time Li Chen left with Xiao Chihan, the group stared blankly for quite a while before finally snapping out of it.

"Why am I here?"

"Huh? Wasn’t I drinking just now?"

"This is... Qian Sheng! His head’s been chopped off and smashed open—what’s going on?! Who did this?!"

Their memories had been rolled back to a few days earlier, and the memories of these past few days, as well as the information about those who died outside Menghai City, had all completely vanished.

Li Chen did a very thorough job. Although he didn’t really care about that so‑called Heaven Sea Alliance, he didn’t want eyes lurking behind his back all the time either.

"Sea Edge Domain? An interesting place. The ’Sea Edge’ from the Ends of the Earth, huh?" A thoughtful look appeared on Li Chen’s face.

For Li Chen, this was actually a rather interesting piece of news.

He wondered what Little Cang would think after finding out his alter ego had been hounded and chased everywhere.

Would his true body just charge over in a rage and wipe out that Heaven Sea Alliance?

According to those few people, when Cang Ku had just returned to the Heartless Sea, he had only just completed Body Sculpting, was in poor condition, and got targeted.

Among those people were Cang Ku’s old enemies, as well as those greedy for Cang Ku’s Cultivation Technique.

After all, back then Cang Ku wasn’t any kind of Heavenly King, just an ordinary Martial Artist of the Kuotian Realm.

Yet someone like that was unimaginably powerful, able to face a Heavenly King of the same level head‑on.

Many people guessed that Cang Ku must possess an unparalleled Cultivation Technique or Divine Skills; otherwise, with him being just a regular Kuotian Realm, it would have been absolutely impossible to be that strong.

So when Cang Ku, who’d disappeared for decades, resurfaced, he naturally became a target for many.

Among them, the strongest was a Sixth-order Celestial King from the Heaven Sea Alliance, who united a large number of people and directly launched a siege to kill Cang Ku.

Faced with such a siege, even at his Peak back in the day, Cang Ku would have had to treat it with utmost caution, let alone just after Body Sculpting.

Under that overwhelming encirclement, Cang Ku charged straight into the Sea Edge Domain, a place reputed to be a land of certain death.

After that, he never appeared again.

"Still, this Heaven Sea Alliance does have some strength." Li Chen stroked his chin. For a force to earn such a comment from him as "has some strength" really was no small matter.

As far as the Heaven Realm was concerned, most powerhouses were in the Borderland Realm, dealing with experts from the other Three Great Realms. At the same time, outside the Borderland Realm lay many mysterious places, where the opportunities far exceeded those in the Heaven Realm, which had been explored countless times over the ages.

So in truth, there actually weren’t that many top-level powerhouses in the Heaven Realm Starland.

Yet this Heaven Sea Alliance, as a well‑known power on the Star Land of Heavenly Might, was anything but simple.

It was said that the Heaven Sea Alliance possessed many Sixth Rank and above powerhouses, and that several "Heavenly Venerables" who, to ordinary Martial Artists, existed only in legend, sat in town there.

Such prestige made the Heaven Sea Alliance seem both mysterious and mighty in the hearts of countless people.

Although very few had ever seen all of the Heaven Sea Alliance’s powerhouses appear together, over the years, there had indeed been people who’d seen the Heavenly Venerables of the Heaven Sea Alliance.

For an unofficial Heaven Realm force to have several Heavenly Venerables was indeed rather extraordinary.

"Whatever, I’ll just treat it as lending Little Cang a hand while I’m at it."

As for these so‑called rumors, even those people he questioned didn’t know much. They only knew that the Heaven Sea Alliance truly had Heavenly Venerables; as for what level those Heavenly Venerables’ Cultivation was, and how strong they truly were, that was far beyond their pay grade.

"Master, where are we going next?"

After wandering for a while, Xiao Chihan realized that there was no way he could finish strolling around such a huge city in a short time, so he asked Li Chen.

"To see an old acquaintance." A smile suddenly appeared on Li Chen’s face.

He hadn’t expected that his Divine Sense, on an unintentional sweep, would actually pick up the presence of someone familiar.

The Heaven Realm was so vast that running into someone by chance really wasn’t easy.

"An acquaintance?"

However, when Li Chen walked toward the other party, he noticed something off.

Li Chen could be sure that this person was indeed the one he knew, but the man no longer had the sharpness and high spirits of the past. In their place was a lonely, even down‑and‑out air.

The contrast was so great that Li Chen even wondered if this was really the same person.

After hesitating for quite a while, Li Chen finally walked over, paused, and asked in puzzlement, "Brother Jing?"

Hearing Li Chen’s address, the one called out also froze for a moment, then turned his head to look at Li Chen, a strange light flickering in his eyes. "Brother Li?!"

"So it really is you." A smile appeared on Li Chen’s face.

He hadn’t expected to actually run into an old acquaintance from the Tian Shang Star Continent here.

Jing Invincible, from the Golden Bull Clan, possessed extremely high Talent and was regarded by the Golden Bull Clan as their hope of rising. In the past, he had ventured into the Forest of Demonic Charms on the Hundred Clans Battlefield together with Li Chen.

Strictly speaking, Li Chen still owed Jing Invincible a favor.

Back then, Li Chen’s Cultivation wasn’t high. Because of an accident, he was separated from Li Youxue, and it was Mo Wushang and Jing Invincible who helped take care of Li Youxue in his stead.

After so many years, Jing Invincible’s Cultivation had already reached the Zuitian Realm, and Li Chen could faintly sense the hazy "Domain" around him. Clearly, Jing Invincible was now also a Domain Realm Heavenly King, and a Fifth Rank Heavenly King at that.

Although the gap between him and the current Li Chen was vast, in terms of Talent, he was still quite remarkable.

What Li Chen couldn’t figure out was why Jing Invincible was now dressed in coarse clothes, unkempt, his face covered in stubble, looking utterly down‑and‑out. That was the reason Li Chen hadn’t recognized him at first.
