Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World - Chapter 343 - 170: Sneak Attack

The female cultivator who approached was Zhao Chengjing.

When Chen Yi saw her, he was taken aback. Why was she here?

Their affection for each other had ended over twenty years ago. At that time, Zhao Chengjing had made it very clear,

And several years ago, Chen Yi had given her a Foundation Establishment Pill, receiving many spirit stones from the Zhao Family in return. It was not a significant debt of gratitude,

And when Zhao Chengjing reached Foundation Establishment, Chen Yi left without seeing her, he assumed she must understand his intentions.

Zhao Chengjing is not the type to cling and pester,

If she came, there must be some unavoidable reason.

“Chengjing, why are you here?”

After reaching Foundation Establishment, Zhao Chengjing returned to the appearance of a woman in her thirties. Seeing Chen Yi still maintaining the youthful look of his twenties, she was taken aback.

“So many years have passed, and you still look the same as you did back then.”

Zhao Chengjing felt somewhat nostalgic as she followed Chen Yi into Little Cold Peak.

The corner of the mountain was covered with lush green grass, dotted with plum blossoms halfway up and covered with snow at the peak.

As Zhao ascended, the spiritual energy became increasingly colder and richer, refreshing to the spirit.

“The spiritual veins of this mountain are even better than those of Zhao Family Island.

Daoist Chen… leaving the Zhao Family back then was indeed the right choice.”

Zhao Chengjing couldn’t bring herself to utter the word “darling”.

She saw two beautiful women on top of the mountain in the Cave Mansion, making tea and laughing. Despite being on a cold peak, they were dressed in thin clothes and short skirts, exposing their slender, white legs and half of their chests.

Zhao Chenjing recalled Chen Yi’s affection for her own legs and feet during their time together,

And instantly realized these two women weren’t ordinary guests in Chen Yi’s house.

They were most likely the owners, while she was the guest.

And they, like her, were also at the early stages of Foundation Establishment.

“Daoist Chen, you seem to enjoy your life these days, making tea, accompanied by beautiful women, and your spiritual veins are improving. Truly carefree.”

Zhao Chengjing understood her position. She didn’t utter words of jealousy. She was not in a position to,

It was she who chose to give up following Chen Yi and stay with Zhao’s Family back then. So, the happiness here on the peak no longer belonged to her.

After sobering up, Zhao Chengjing kept her distance, maintaining proper decorum as a guest,

This changed the impressions of Ma Xiaoqiu and Liu Emei towards her.

Previously, Liu Emei had told Ma Xiaoqiu about Zhao Chengjing’s and Chen Yi’s past,

At that time, Ma Xiaoqiu thought another person was fighting for Chen Yi. But now it appears, she must have had something else on her mind.

After some thought, Ma Xiaoqiu and Liu Emei left them alone and went back to Xiao Qiu Peak to have some fun.

Leaving only Chen Yi and Zhao Chengjing.

Chen Yi calmly asked,

“Chengjing, what’s the matter?”

Zhao Chengjing’s face darkened, “Chen Yi, my father is in critical condition. Can you come to Zhao Family Island and save him?”

Zhao Chongjian was in critical condition?

Chen Yi was stunned.

He was just over a hundred years old, in his prime as a cultivator at Foundation Establishment. How could he be in critical condition?

“What happened?”

“These past few years the Tan Family has been lying low. For the sake of our family’s livelihood, my father led us to establish new spiritual mines.

Unexpectedly, the Tan Family attacked suddenly,

The Tan Family Head, Tan Dezheng, sacrificed his lifespan to compete with my father,

And in the end, they both suffered serious injuries.”

“Only later did we learn that Tan Dezheng had offended someone important in Wangyue City a year ago and was inflicted with a strange poison that left him with little time to live.

In order to suppress the Zhao Family before he dies, he brought my father down with him.

When I left, my father was on the brink of death,

Chen Yi, I know you can save him, please!”

Th𝚤ʂ 𝗰h𝖺pţᥱr 𝚒𝘴 pⲟѕ𝑡𝗲𝕕 bƴ 𝘒𝕀𝘵𝙚п◎ѵɛ𝖑

Zhao Chengjing spoke pitifully.

But Chen Yi already knew the matter wasn’t so simple.

“Tan Dezheng’s cultivation level should be superior to your father’s, right?”

“Yes.”

“Since he’s already decided to endanger his life to kill your father, do you think he would fail?”

“Huh?”

Zhao Chengjing turned pale, “You mean?”

“Correct, he’s likely fishing. You might have been watched since you started your journey. They haven’t acted because they want to see if you can muster any help and whether it would be risky for the Tan Family to provoke a new character.”

“Then what can we do? Can my father survive?”

Chen Yi shook his head. In his opinion, it was very likely that Zhao Chongjian couldn’t be saved.

Tan Dezheng was not a fool. Knowing he didn’t have much time left, he would make sure he could take Zhao Chongjian with him. He wouldn’t give him a chance to survive,

Not killing him on the spot indicated that Tan Dezheng has other plans.

“Chengjing, I don’t want to involve myself in the matters between the Zhao Family and the Tan Family. The debt I owed to the Zhao Family back then has long been repaid.

There’s nothing I can do about your father.”

Zhao Chengjing sadly accepted it,

“I’m sorry for intruding. I’ll take my leave now.”

“Also, thank you, Daoist Chen for the Foundation Establishment Pill. If I get the chance, I will repay you.”

After saying this, Zhao Chengjing got up to leave.

Chen Yi wanted to warn her not to leave by herself and that it would be safer to travel with the official Spirit Ship of the Cold Sword Gate,

But Zhao Chengjing had left heartbroken, not giving Chen Yi a chance to speak.

On the adjacent Xiao Qiu peak, the two girls were surprised that Zhao Chengjing had left after only an hour.

The two girls returned to Chen Yi’s side, Liu Emei asked,

“Brother Chen, is the Zhao Family in trouble? Should we lend a hand? The two of us, together, make two Foundation Establishment cultivators which should be of significant assistance.”

“Including me, that’s three at Foundation Establishment.” Ma Xiaoqiu chimed in,

Chen Yi looked at her, surprised.
