Chaos Dao Sheng Jue

Chapter 1374: A Chess Piece

"Senior, you must be joking. How could I be the kind of person who repays kindness with hatred? However, I do want to thank you and stay by your side. I can guarantee that these words are sincere.

If you still don't believe me, I can swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao. I believe you also know that oaths in this world are quite effective."

As he spoke, Lu Chen raised his right hand, ready to swear.

Seeing this, the old Taoist priest immediately interrupted Lu Chen's words, shook his head and laughed, "Stop talking nonsense here, you little brat. You don't have much time left. You must go to the God Realm in the shortest possible time and do everything you can to repair the God Realm.

I will give you another ten years. If you fail to complete the ten years, everything you have will become nothing."

The old Taoist's tone was unquestionable. Hearing this, Lu Chen's heart trembled. He knew that this matter was no trivial matter and was definitely not a simple task.

At this moment, the old Taoist's eyes suddenly became serious, "You may think that I am teasing you, but what I want to tell you is that this world is on the brink of collapse.

Your presence is not accidental, but destined to shoulder this responsibility. So, don't try to escape or be lazy, the consequences are not something you can afford."

Lu Chen realized that this time he was serious. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. Then he said with a thick face: "Senior, I will do my best to fulfill the things you have told me to do.

It's a pity that my strength is too low, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to complete the task. Wouldn't that be a disgrace to your reputation? Would you mind giving me some more treasures?"

The old Taoist snorted, as if he was already accustomed to Lu Chen's greed. But he did not get angry. Instead, he took out a small magic weapon from his sleeve.

He waved his hand lightly, and an arrow the size of a chopstick appeared in front of Lu Chen. The arrow was white jade in color, gleaming with a faint light. It was a miniature version of the Sun Chaser Arrow.

Lu Chen recognized the arrow at a glance. It was the Sun-Chasing Arrow that Houyi used to shoot the sun in the scene after he got the "Sun-Chasing" bow on the eighth floor of the Sky Time Tower.

His heart beat faster involuntarily, because this meant that the Sun Chaser Bow in his hand finally had a matching arrow, and its power would be greatly enhanced, and it would no longer be just for decoration.

Just when Lu Chen was filled with joy, he looked up and found that the old Taoist priest had disappeared long ago, leaving him alone sitting on the street, as if nothing had happened.

After confirming that the old Taoist priest had really left, Lu Chen carefully put the arrow into the golden bead world, then changed direction and flew into the air.

He knew in his heart that the next task was extremely difficult and he had to improve his cultivation as quickly as possible in order to have any hope of completing the task assigned by the old Taoist priest.

At this moment, Lu Chen's heart was very calm. He was not very excited about obtaining the Sun-Chasing Arrow. His previous performance was just an act.

Although he got a lot of truth from the old Taoist priest, he also knew that he was just a pawn in the hands of others, and everything he had could be taken back by others with just one word.

This feeling of being controlled by others made Lu Chen feel very uncomfortable, and the key was that he was powerless to resist.

There was no other way, he could only put his mind at ease and break through his cultivation level first to be a good chess piece...

At this moment, a streak of light streaked across the sky at an astonishing speed, but Lu Chen's consciousness was so sharp that even such a swift figure could not escape his perception.

When Lu Chen looked at the person's appearance carefully, he was delighted, "It's her?"

So he used his teleportation ability to chase after him. It turned out that the man was none other than the "Yuan Feng", the ancestor of the Phoenix clan that Lu Chen was familiar with.

Not long after, "Yuan Feng" turned into a brilliant stream of light and landed at the door of a tavern. Then she turned around gracefully. In fact, she also discovered Lu Chen's figure.

At this moment, Lu Chen also happened to appear in front of her. "Senior, long time no see, why are you here?" Lu Chen's warm smile was filled with a bit of surprise.

Yuan Feng smiled slightly, with a gentle light flashing in his eyes. "Now that your strength is not inferior to mine, there is no need to call me senior. I came here to meet some friends. Do you want to have a drink together?"

Lu Chen followed Yuan Feng's gaze and glanced at the tavern called "Zui Qingfeng", and couldn't help feeling curious.

What is so special about this seemingly ordinary tavern that it can become a place where people like Yuan Feng meet?

After a moment of hesitation, Lu Chen nodded and agreed, "Since the senior has invited me, I dare not refuse."

"Please!" Yuan Feng said.

After entering the tavern, Lu Chen found that although it was not big, it was decorated in an antique style and was full of an indescribable charm.

The wooden tables and chairs look a bit worn, but because of the unique aroma of wine, people automatically ignore the simple furnishings.

It's not like Lu Chen hasn't seen good wine before. He even brewed wine with the Five Elements Dao Fruit. What other wine could compare to it? However, the aroma of wine that filled this tavern made Lu Chen feel very different.

At this moment, there were only four people in the tavern. First up was the tavern owner, a seemingly ordinary middle-aged man with a remarkable aura. He wore a plain robe, his face slightly weathered but his eyes clear and bright, as if he had weathered countless storms yet remained calm.

His hands were busy on the counter, filling glass after glass of wine for the incoming guests.

There were three guests sitting in a corner of the tavern. Although they had transformed into human form, Lu Chen could still tell from the aura revealed in their gestures that these two people were obviously powerful demon ancestors, comparable to human cultivators in the late Taiqing Xuanxian realm.

One of them was a young man transformed from a Azure Dragon. He was tall and straight, with a heroic spirit between his brows. His hair was as black as ink, draped over his shoulders, and his deep eyes were like stars in the night sky, gleaming with wisdom and strength.

His clothes were a long blue gown embroidered with delicate cloud patterns.

The other is a woman who is the incarnation of a white tiger. Her beauty is as cold and elegant as the Snow Queen in the cold winter, yet she is still gentle.

Her long, silver-white hair cascaded down to her waist, shimmering softly in the weak sunlight. Her eyes were like two brilliant sapphires, deep and mysterious, seemingly able to see through the essence of everything in the world.

She wore a spotless white dress with a light blue ribbon tied gently around her waist, which further highlighted her otherworldly temperament.

"It's still a tigress." After seeing the true forms of several people, Lu Chen thought to himself...
