Chapter 703: Chapter 384: Arrival and Deception – Part 3

As they were speaking,
the Old Man withdrew his gaze and looked at the person across from him.
What met his eyes was,
none other than Chen Sheng who had already left with Tu’er and the others.
Of course,
the Chen Sheng from before wasn’t his true being.
He was a puppet refined from Chen Sheng’s flesh and a portion of his soul’s aura by the Spiritual Martial King.
With his Universe Level Strength, coupled with a secret method that consumed a great deal of mental energy,
and the flesh and soul used to create the fake Chen Sheng also all originated from the real Chen Sheng.
Therefore,
unless examined by a Universe Level Powerhouse or someone who was very familiar with Chen Sheng,
Moreover,
to avoid the Resistance Army catching on too quickly,
the Spiritual Martial King had already set the behavior pattern for that puppet.
First, it deliberately acted frivolously to arouse Tu Ling’s suspicion.
Then, during the shuttle through space-time turbulence, it found the chance to escape.
Thanks to the spells set up by the Spiritual Martial King in advance, the puppet had a not-so-small chance of successful escape.
Even if it failed, combined with the puppet’s abnormal behavior, it could quell the Resistance Army’s suspicions for a short time.
After such thorough precautions,
it was sufficient to buy enough time for Chen Sheng to complete the creation of the pocket universe.
“Only after you complete this mission,”
“did I realize that you are the same kind of person as Huanle.”
“One who treads on the road of creating Laws… a Practitioner.”
“In all the universes I’ve traversed, there could be no better investment than you.”
Speaking of this,
a look of longing couldn’t help but rise in the Spiritual Martial King’s eyes.
He had witnessed Huanle’s strength with his own eyes.
Both being Universe Level,
the other was a far superior existence, with strength close to that of the Four Great Leaders among the Subordinates.
As a fellow Practitioner, Chen Sheng might also become, or even surpass, such an existence in the future.
This is also why,
upon detecting the moves of the Resistance Army, he chose to help Chen Sheng deceive them.
It was just a matter of expending some mental energy.
But if Chen Sheng turned out to be upright,
should the Spiritual Martial World face a great catastrophe in the future, there would be a helper of unprecedented strength.
“But no matter what,”
“I will carry the gratitude for today’s favor in my heart,” Chen Sheng said.
One matter at a time.
No matter what motives or other reasons there may be,
the fact that the Spiritual Martial King took the risk of offending the Resistance Army to help him was indisputable.
Therefore,
the words Chen Sheng spoke at this moment
came from the heart.
“Chen Sheng toasts to you.”
He lifted the teacup in front of him.
This time,
Chen Sheng’s attitude towards the Spiritual Martial King was not like before, merely treating him as a business partner,
but truly as an elder.
“Very well, very well.”
The teacups clinked lightly.
The atmosphere was excellent.
The two conversed delightfully, showing no signs of fatigue.
And so,
time slowly passed by.
Three hours later,
as the sky grew dark,
the preparations for the pocket universe were successfully completed.
“Knowing you’re eager, I won’t keep you for dinner,”
“Just come and have tea and a chat with this old man when you have time,” the Spiritual Martial King said, getting up and gesturing for Chen Sheng to leave.
“Thank you, Elder Long,”
Chen Sheng got up, bowed in respect, and expressed his gratitude to the Spiritual Martial King.
During the hours of conversation,
Chen Sheng learned that the Spiritual Martial King’s real name was Long Wu,
and he also acquired many pieces of information he was eager to know from him.
“Go on, go on,”
the Spiritual Martial King said with a beaming smile, repeatedly gesturing with his hands.
As his voice faded,
his figure disappeared.
Chen Sheng stood in place and opened his palm.
Feeling the surging power within the orb of light in his hand, he couldn’t hide his excitement.
Thus,
he no longer hesitated in the slightest.
Whoosh!
His figure leapt into the air and vanished into the skyline.
As invisible ripples overflooded above the planet,
Chen Sheng’s aura, too, disappeared from the Spiritual Martial World.
