Even the followers of the Holy Sect, who were used to all kinds of nauseating smells, many were continually dry-heaving.

Chou and Mao had just woken up to see the grim scene around them. With

Chen Sheng nowhere to be found, they thought something had gone wrong.

Thankfully,

Chen Sheng returned in time. That eased their anxious minds.

“It’s taken care of.”

Chen Sheng told them what had happened using the shortest possible explanation.

Of course, he didn’t provide details.

Only Chen Sheng and Shen Ziming knew about Xiao Hei’s existence so far.

And Chen Sheng had no intention of letting more people know.

Chou and Mao didn’t express any doubt regarding Chen Sheng’s explanation.

They had both witnessed the bizarre abilities of Flesh Consciousness before.

They felt incredibly fortunate that they had someone of Chen Sheng’s caliber accompanying them on this mission.

Otherwise, they probably wouldn’t even know how they’d die.

“Retreat.”

Not much later.

After cleaning up the wreckage.

With one command from Chen Sheng, everyone began preparing to retreat.

Through his Qi perception,

Chen Sheng noticed that the awakened individuals from the Martial Arts Association in the distance didn’t seem to give up their exploration.

He didn’t bother with them.

Once the Flesh Consciousness had died,

The surrounding flesh seemed to have completely lost any aggressiveness.

In such a situation,

Even if Chen Sheng didn’t intervene, using only the remaining members of the Martial Arts Association, they could dig out a way upwards.

As for the following remedial measures,

They would be handled by the people from the Martial Arts Association.

Currently, as Lord Xuanwu of the Holy Sect.

His responsibility was to obtain resources and then leave.

“Yes!”

Everyone replied, promptly springing into action.

Under Chen Sheng’s lead, they successfully reached the surface in under five minutes.

Chou and Mao would then lead the team back to Bianchuan City, report the results of today’s mission, and submit their spoils.

As for Chen Sheng.

The mission had ended, and he planned to return directly to Kyoto to report back.

Although the outskirts of the rainforest were full of tourists,

Chen Sheng alone wouldn’t attract any attention.

Facing the crowd who had knelt before him, Chen Sheng issued another order.

He then instantly vanished from the spot.

“May Lord prosper in martial luck!”

Chou and Mao lowered their heads and yelled loudly.

“May Lord prosper in martial luck! ! ”

The people behind them followed suit.

As the sound gradually faded away.

They then slowly stood up.

Watching the direction where Chen Sheng had left.

Mister Chou had a slight vacant look in his eyes.

“Forget it.”

“I guess, such a big shot wouldn’t take a liking to us.”

Mister Mao by his side couldn’t help but lament.

Among the Upper Six of the Twelve Holy Envoys, these two were rather peculiar.

They weren’t like the other four, always eying the positions of the Four Saints.

Nor would they tirelessly try everything they could to increase their own strength day and night.

All they wanted was to adequately manage their own domain.

They treated the Holy Sect as a retirement home.

However,

Both of them understood very well.

The awakening of the Heavenly Person was imminent.

The volume of Qi had also reached its peak.

All over the country, innumerable people were awakening to become Qi-sensors every day.

Even the Wu’an Bureau and the Martial Arts Association had started to recruit awakened Qi-sensors on a large scale.

The so-called information about the Tide Rising Period and Qi-sensors was already flying all over the internet.

The Wu’an Bureau no longer adopted a prohibitionist attitude like before, but allowed it to ferment.

Except for the existence of the Heavenly Person.

Everything related to the Tide Rising Period was no longer a secret.

This meant that:

The era of great changes was about to come.

For Chou and Mao to carry on as they did before; idling away their days, occasionally pretending to lead a team and complete a mission, things probably wouldn’t be that simple.

They had long thought about it.

They planned to choose one among the Four Saints as a big tree to rely on.

When the time came, they could be given some magical treasure as a reward, or they could use the other party’s reputation to scare off enemies. This was certainly better than dying without knowing what hit them.

However,

The Azure Dragon was aloof and extremely difficult to communicate with.

The White Tiger was vicious and brutal; it was better to hang from a tree than follow him.

The former Lord Xuanwu was the weakest, and it felt too risky to follow him.

Therefore,

Their original plan was to find a chance to contact the Vermilion Bird.

After all, based on the buzz, the Vermilion Bird seemed rather easy to talk to, and unlike the White Tiger, he didn’t kill for fun.

But,

The two of them spent their years in remote areas, it was extremely difficult to meet the Vermilion Bird. Just at this point,

Chen Sheng appeared.

After witnessing Chen Sheng’s invincible strength,

The two immediately thought about pledging their allegiance to him.

And it could be seen from his actions that although Chen Sheng was decisive in killing, he wasn’t a cruel person.

He was definitely the top choice to hitch their wagon to.

However,

The strength that Chen Sheng demonstrated time and again was far beyond their imagination.

In the eyes of Chou and Mao,

They feared he wouldn’t run short of subordinates.

Even if they were eager to stick to him, he might not be interested.

Thinking about this,

Mister Chou retracted his gaze and sighed silently.

As for Mister Mao by his side,

He was still staring blankly in the direction where Chen Sheng had disappeared.

“What a pity.”

“Lord Xuanwu is so handsome.”

“If we could serve under him and get to see him every day, that would be great.”

As Mister Mao spoke,

He seemed to be adopting a pitifully melancholic demeanor, like a young girl in distress.

“If Lord Xuanwu hears you saying that,”

“I think he would directly electrocute you into ashes.” “Moreover… it seems like he hasn’t been gone for long,”

“Perhaps he can still hear you.” Mister Chou said with a straight face.

Upon hearing this,

Mister Mao immediately dropped his pathetic act.

“Let’s go, let’s go.”

He coughed twice, pretending to be nonchalant.

With that,

He left with Mister Chou, leading the team away..
