Chapter 695 The Karmic Connection Between Shi Hao and the Remnant Immortal!

"Is this the power of a crippled immortal?"

"This is terrifying... He wasn't just warning Zhu Chen, he was warning all of us."

"Zhu Chen is finished, he's really finished this time..."

"Heh~, a mere lower realm sinner, even with the Ten Fierce Treasures at his disposal, can't cause any real trouble..."

"That's right. We didn't hold it against him before because of Qin Changsheng, but now even Qin Changsheng can't protect him. His good days are over!"

"The sinful blood of the lower realm should not have appeared here in the first place, let alone dare to be so arrogant in front of us. He simply does not take us, the leaders of the various sects in the upper realm, seriously..."

"The Celestial Palace's intervention this time can be considered as eliminating a hidden danger for our Upper Realm!"

"Indeed, his talent is extremely high this time, and those around him are also arrogant young prodigies. If we do not eliminate them as soon as possible, they will surely become a great threat to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths in the future!"

Perhaps due to the appearance of the remnant immortal, those sect leaders who were originally wary of Zhu Chen are now speaking in a much louder tone.

However, many people noticed that Zhu Chen's expression remained unchanged when facing a remnant immortal like the Immortal Palace, and he even had a faint smile on his lips.

"Brother, you..."

Xiao Yan couldn't help but ask if Zhu Chen had any backup plans.

But before he could finish speaking, Zhu Chen waved his hand, signaling him to be quiet.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan could only obediently shut his mouth.

Zhu Chen withdrew his gaze from Xiao Yan and the others, then looked at the crippled immortal and said indifferently, "Your methods are indeed impressive, but do you think you can scare me like this?"

A strange light flashed in the immortal's eyes: "Oh? You're not afraid?"

Zhu Chen laughed: "Afraid? Why should I be afraid? You're just a crippled immortal, your cultivation has plummeted, and your lifespan is almost over. The reason you want that piece of bone from Shi Hao's body is simply to prolong your life. Do you think I don't know that?"

Upon hearing Zhu Chen's words, the remnant immortal's expression finally changed: "It seems you know quite a bit, huh?"

Zhu Chen said calmly, "I know far more than you think. You want that bone? Fine, but you have to show some sincerity. You think you can just ask my brother for the bone without any real intentions? Who do you think you are?"

The remnant immortal remained silent for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter: "Good! Good! Good! In all my years of life, this is the first time I've encountered a young man who dares to bargain with me."

He wiped the smile off his face, his gaze instantly turning incredibly sharp: "My sincerity is that I can spare your life... Otherwise, do you think you'd still be standing here talking to me?"

Zhu Chen smiled and shook his head: "Spare me my life? Try touching me and see who dies first, you or me."

These words caused an uproar in the audience.

The surrounding cult leaders exchanged bewildered glances, wondering where Zhu Chen got his confidence from.

They looked at Zhu Chen, then at Can Xian, their hearts filled with doubt.

"Does he have some trump card up his sleeve?"

"Impossible. The Remnant Immortal is invincible. What trump card could a mere Celestial God have?"

"Unless... he has someone backing him."

"Who? Who can stop a remnant immortal?"

Discussions erupted again, but this time, some people began to waver.

They recalled Zhu Chen's previous performance.

One punch takes down a cult leader; he's fought his way from Tianyuan City to Mount Bulao without ever failing. Would someone like that really be courting death?

Qin Changsheng stood to the side, watching Zhu Chen's retreating figure, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He found himself increasingly unable to understand this young man.

The remnant immortal stared at Zhu Chen for a long time, but ultimately did not make a move.

It wasn't that he didn't want to, but that he saw something he had never seen before in Zhu Chen's eyes.

That wasn't fear, nor was it a pretense...

It is a kind of genuine self-confidence.

"Interesting." The remnant immortal murmured softly, immediately withdrawing his gaze.

Then, he turned around, his gaze drifting back to the top of the Chaos Immortal Bell.

"—Thump!!!"

The bell rang again, the rift in the void slowly closed, and the remnant immortal, along with the enormous bronze bell, disappeared into the sky.

Soon, that terrifying pressure dissipated.

The sun shone again, and the no-man's-land returned to peace.

"He left again?"

Xiao Yan blinked in disbelief.

Sun Wukong was completely bewildered: "How come this old man comes and goes so easily? What is he doing here?"

Yang Qi said, "He is testing the waters. He wants the bone inside Shi Hao's body, but he is not sure what Brother Zhu's trump card is. He will not make a move easily before he is absolutely certain."

Xiao Yan suddenly realized and said, "So... Big Brother was bluffing him just now?"

Zhu Chen shook his head: "I'm not bluffing him. If he really makes a move, I'm not afraid. It's just that now is not the time to turn against him."

He looked at the image of Shi Hao on the stone tablet, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes.

The appearance of the remnant immortal means that the Immortal Palace can no longer hold back.

They want the Supreme Bone inside Shi Hao's body and won't give up easily.

Once Shi Hao emerges from the Immortal Ancient Ruins, even greater trouble is likely to ensue.

"Big brother, what do we do next?"

Xiao Yan looked at Zhu Chen and asked.

Zhu Chen thought for a moment and said, "When Shi Hao comes out and becomes stronger, it's not certain who will eat whom then."

At this point, Zhu Chen's lips suddenly curled up: "Also, you guys shouldn't be idle. Although the demon dragon meat is enough to eat for a few days, we can't just sit around and do nothing. Keep an eye out and see if any more fools will come knocking on our door."

Xiao Yan chuckled: "I'm good at this!"

Sun Wukong also got excited: "My fists have been itching for a fight for a long time, Brother Zhu, when shall we make our move?"

Yang Qi didn't speak, but simply nodded slightly.

Just then, Qin Changsheng also hurriedly walked over.

He approached and clasped his hands in greeting, saying, "Fellow Daoist Zhu Chen, I was quite out of line just now, please forgive me."

Zhu Chen waved his hand: "Clan Chief Qin, there's no need for that. The strength of a Remnant Immortal is indeed beyond your current capabilities, but I'm already very grateful that you stepped forward."

Qin Changsheng gave a wry smile: "I've lived for so many years, and this is the first time I've been suppressed by someone with just a look. It seems that this era truly belongs to the young."

Zhu Chen didn't reply, but just looked at Shi Hao on the stone tablet.

He remembered that in the original story, Shi Hao also had some grudges with this remnant immortal.

The latter even wanted to use the Immortal-Breaking Curse to kill Shi Hao.

Later, by chance, Shi Hao not only broke the Immortal-Breaking Curse, but also went through the Tribulation of the Mortal World, becoming the last and only Mortal World Immortal in the Dharma-Ending Era, with strength far exceeding that of other immortals of the same level.

He never expected that the feud between Shi Hao and this crippled immortal would be brought forward so much...

It seems that his appearance has completely messed up the causal relationships in this world!
