Chapter 397: Chapter 151: Leaving? Did I let you go!?_5
"The reason they don’t scare you right now is that they haven’t fully revived. Once they do, no matter how many tricks you have up your sleeve, it won’t be enough to beat them."
"That’s why I say you’re confused!"
"You have such great strength. You just need to lie low here a little longer, wait for all this to blow over and then gradually retreat. Wouldn’t that be a quick escape?"
"Instead, you choose to provoke them at this time. I sometimes question whether your brain was kicked by a donkey."
The more he spoke, the more energized Shen Xuzi became, even using some archaic language.
"Old man, do you think if I don’t act, they won’t provoke me?"
However, Chen Chang’an was unmoved by Shen Xuzi’s words. He looked at Shen Xuzi and retorted.
"You need to understand my objective here - to control the Demon World."
"Those five old guys are ancient relics of the Demon World. Do you really think they’re here to bow down to me?"
Uh...!
Upon hearing Chen Chang’an’s words, Shen Xuzi was taken aback.
He instantly realized he had oversimplified the situation.
Yes, those five old guys are ancient relics of the Demon World. The idea of them bowing down to a young upstart is as likely as the sun rising from the west.
Whether the break happens sooner or later, it’s all just a matter of time.
Plus, it was those old guys who made the first move.
Shen Xuzi is not stupid. With what Chen Chang’an said, he quickly figured out some things.
Take today’s incident, for example.
If you say that those guys didn’t plan this event, Shen Xuzi wouldn’t believe it, even if he were beaten to death.
So, if you look at it this way, what this kid did today doesn’t seem so bad after all.
"But kid, don’t you know the meaning of subtlety?"
"Even if you can’t bear it, you should at least put on some front."
"Putting on a front?"
On hearing Shen Xuzi’s words, Chen Chang’an immediately laughed. He could put on a front, but he didn’t feel like it.
Life is already so exhausting, why put on a front? Isn’t it better to be upfront?
As for the possible negative outcomes of this approach, does Chen Chang’an care?
No, he doesn’t.
Confront the army, cover the flood, it’s just a fight after all.
And speaking of fighting...
Pardon me, but from the day his six senses were restored, Chen Chang’an had understood the top truth of Wuxiang Continent, "Might is right!" And he has been tirelessly accumulating strength based on this.
"Emmmm.."
Alright then, this conversation won’t go anywhere today.
Seeing Chen Chang’an in this state, Shen Xuzi didn’t wish to argue any further.
No matter what he said, it seemed to have no effect on this kid who simply wouldn’t listen.
Or rather, his theories didn’t seem to apply to this brat at all.
Who knows how such an anomaly ended up in this world!
In less than ten years, he had grown to such heights. What’s wrong with him being a bit arrogant?
Nothing at all!
"So, kid, what’s your next move? Sitting it out and waiting?"
Then, Shen Xuzi swiftly changed the topic.
He had been eavesdropping on the previous conversation. The Demonic World’s barrier would not lift for another three months.
During this time, the major forces in the Demon World wouldn’t execute any slaughter.
This indicated that Chen Chang’an, as the new Demon Lord, would not have anything to do.
Doing nothing for three months, waiting around in this dark and damp place, Shen Xuzi was convinced this was something Chen Chang’an wouldn’t accept.
"Obviously, I’ll look for something to do."
As expected, the next moment Chen Chang’an said so.
"Look for something to do? What are you planning to do?"
"Old man, what to do, obviously you should tell me. Why are you looking at me?"
"What?! Look at me??"
Now it was Shen Xuzi’s turn to be confused. He looked at Chen Chang’an, his eyes filled with uncertainty, bewilderment, and helplessness.
"Old man, you should have heard of the Dragon Treasure Vault in the Demon World." At this point, Chen Chang’an spoke.
"Dragon Treasure Vault?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Xuzi was stunned, simply because he did know about it.
However, isn’t that a tale from the Mythical Era?
"Kid, why are you asking about this? Don’t tell me you want to enter this Dragon Treasure Vault?"
Chen Chang’an, however, didn’t respond to Shen Xuzi’s comment. He said:
"Just tell me, do you know where the entrance to this Dragon Treasure Vault is?"
"Kid, I have every reason to suspect you’ve been stalking me in the past!"
Shen Xuzi leisurely made that comment.
Truthfully, despite living for countless years, Shen Xuzi’s knowledge of the Demon World is limited.
The one thing he does know is the Dragon Treasure Vault.
Not only does he know about it, but he also knows where the gate to the Dragon Treasure Vault opens.
This secret has been Shen Xuzi’s closely guarded secret for many years. He never revealed it to anyone, not even when he signed a contract with Chen Chang’an.
