Zhong Wuwang held the tea and invited, smiling, "But at that time you were a young man barely past the age of twenty. So, when you were commanding them, you were bound to make mistakes. Only the mistake wasn't yours."

Yang Bi drank the tea in one gulp, sighed, and said, "All great power returns to the self. When an individual lacks power, they can only borrow it from things, which leaves room for error."

Zhong Wuwang's eyes brightened, he clapped his hands in praise and said, "Well said! All great power returns to the self! The Upper Realm lost due to this very reason. If the Upper Realm could gather all the Divine Power of the Heavenly Gods into one, the power of this Divine would be able to rival the Immortals of Despair Slope. Unfortunately, the Thirteen Families are too busy scheming against each other, incapable of such a feat."

Yang Bi remained silent.

Zhong Wuwang laughed and said, "I originally thought you would die in the Upper Realm, and lamented over it for a while. But when Yan Shaomian unleashed the Fourteenth Move after the Thirteenth, I knew you were still alive, which is why I happily visited. We have matched wits, but never matched in martial strength. From Yan Shaomian, I witnessed your Daoist Practice."

Yang Bi inquired, "What do you think?"

Zhong Wuwang did not answer but asked back, "How many days did it take you to come up with those two moves?"

"Six days."

Zhong Wuwang said, "Less than the time I used. I watched Chen Shi in action, it took me fourteen days all together."

Yang Bi said, "It's different. You needed to observe initially, establish ways to counter his cultivation technique and Divine Skills, which was mentally taxing. Whereas I deduced the remaining two moves based on the first twelve moves you pioneered, which was much less strenuous."

Zhong Wuwang was filled with emotions, saying, "It's been a long time since I've met an opponent like you, I couldn't help but feel delighted."

Yang Bi's heart pounded twice violently, knowing a murderous intent had been stirred.

Both of them breaking Chen Shi's cultivation technique and Divine Skills seemed similar, but Zhong Wuwang, besides having a higher Cultivation Realm, also possessed the Innate Dao Embryo!

Having these two advantages, and still achieving similar results, demonstrated Yang Bi's exceptional aptitude, likely surpassing Zhong Wuwang!

This was the reason Zhong Wuwang entertained killing intent.

Originally, Yang Bi feared nothing, but now, he had a wife and children, a weakness in his Dao Heart.

At this moment, a voice came from outside: "Husband, another friend has come to visit?"

Yang Bi's heart was a tad chaotic, how come his wife had returned? Hadn't he told her to take their son, using the Heavenly Court Token to seek refuge in the Little Heavenly Realms?

Why did she come back?

And who would this other friend be?

Just as he pondered this, a familiar voice came forth: "Limping Yang, you taught Yan Shaomian the last two moves, nearly killed me! I'm here to settle accounts with you!"

Upon hearing this voice, Yang Bi's disturbed heart calmed down.

Chen Shi walked into the Yang family's small courtyard, Xiaofang carrying their child followed behind him, holding the Heavenly Court Token, tears still fresh on her face.

Yang Bi then realized, indeed Xiaofang took the child into the Little Heavenly Realms to seek refuge, and there she met Chen Shi, hence Chen Shi arrived immediately!

Zhong Wuwang's gaze fell on Chen Shi, letting out a gentle laugh.

Chen Shi entered the living room, while Yang Bi and Zhong Wuwang sat across from each other, he boldly sat between them, picked up the teapot, poured himself a cup of tea, and downed it.

Zhong Wuwang smiled and watched Chen Shi drink tea, neither stopping nor acting.

"Thanks to both of you, for finding the flaw in my cultivation technique."

Chen Shi set down the empty teacup and poured himself another, this time not gulping, but raising the cup, sincerely saying, "Without your guidance, encountering a mighty foe, I would have likely died miserably."

He shook his head, saying, "For Yan Shaomian, with such weak cultivation, struck me forty-eight times. If the one attacking wasn't her but the two of you, I would've died a brutal death. I toast to both of you, wise and virtuous men!"

Yang Bi smiled and raised his teacup.

Zhong Wuwang also wore a smile, raising his cup alongside.

The three of them drank tea.

Chen Shi lowered his teacup and said to Xiaofang, "Sister Fang, this tea is cold and a bit weak, could you please brew another pot?"

Xiaofang stepped forward, lifting the teapot, then grabbed Fang Zhenxiu sitting opposite to Chen Shi's hand, smiling, "You don't need to be here, aunty will take you for a good meal."

Fang Zhenxiu stood, just about to follow her out, when suddenly a voice said: "Wait!"

Chen Shi's gaze fell on Fang Zhenxiu, carefully observing him, and asked, "Little brother, what's your surname?"

Fang Zhenxiu felt a bit nervous internally, saying, "My surname is Fang, and my name is Zhenxiu."

Chen Shi's eyes sparkled, staring intently at his expression, smiling, said, "Do you know Yan Shaomian? I killed her. Little brother, your heart is beating fast…"

Fang Zhenxiu's heart pounded rapidly, but his face remained composed, slowly shaking his head, saying, "Big brother looking at me makes my heart race. Big brother, Yan Shaomian was a bad person, is that why you killed her?"

Chen Shi laughed heartily looking at his expression, waving him off, saying, "Kids are just kids, they only understand good and bad. But in this world, where are there truly good and bad people? Fang sister, take him out to play."

Xiaofang laughed, "Your expression, I thought you were going to kill him."

Chen Shi replied, "Sister, I am not some old demon, how could I harm a child?" After speaking, the Blood Transformation Divine Saber within the small temple behind his head gradually calmed down.

Once they were far off, Chen Shi's gaze fell on Zhong Wuwang, and the Blood Transformation Divine Saber sensed its master's Demonic Nature once more, gradually becoming agitated.

Chen Shi said, "I have three Daoist Fields, Er Niu, did you see them all?"

Zhong Wuwang heard the words Er Niu, and his smile stiffened somewhat, gently nodding: "I saw them. In Liuzhou, I saw you use two Daoist Fields, one is the Blood Sea Hell Arena, the other is the Yin Yang Dojo. I only taught Yan Shaomian the Magic Skill to break the Yin Yang Dojo."

Yang Bi raised his eyebrows slightly, showing surprise.

Seeing how Zhong Wuwang spoke, he surely broke through Chen Shi's Blood Sea Hell Arena during those fourteen days!

Thus speaking, Zhong Wuwang's intelligence was above his!

If it had been him observing, he might not have discovered ways to break both of Chen Shi's Daoist Fields in fourteen days!

"Perhaps it might have taken four or five more days," he thought to himself.

The Blood Transformation Divine Saber behind Chen Shi shot forth, clattering onto the tea table.

Yang Bi and Zhong Wuwang's attention was instantly captured by this Immortal Family's treasure, unable to look away.

They had both witnessed the Blood Transformation Divine Saber's power, even an Immortal couldn't withstand the might of this blade.

If they could seize this blade, they could immediately cut down the opponent before them!

Yet neither acted.

Both had heard of the Blood Transformation Divine Saber's notorious reputation for killing its previous masters, and even possessing the Blood Lake Scripture, if their Dao Heart wasn't strong enough, they would be controlled by the Blood Transformation Divine Saber, resulting in indiscriminate killing and ultimately, their own demise!

"I wish to see these techniques."

Chen Shi grasped the Blood Transformation Divine Saber, his eyes fierce, sincerely saying, "Please, Er Niu, lend me a helping hand."

Zhong Wuwang laughed, "Chen Shi, I'm not afraid of you. I speak peacefully with you because there are matters to discuss. I discovered something at Despair Slope, perhaps you and I could collaborate…"

"Talk after we fight!"

Chen Shi flipped his wrist, spun the blade, the sword edge hissed as it sliced through the roof of the living room, together with several adjacent rooms, sending them flying!

"My monthly salary for this month!" Yang Bi's eyes twitched involuntarily, gritting his teeth.

He gave lectures to the Talisman Masters for a month, his monthly salary being fifty taels of silver, which Chen Shi's slice sent flying!

Zhong Wuwang had already vaulted into the air, evading that strike, standing aloft, displeased, said, "Chen Shi, I haven't taken you to task for twice pursuing me when I was gravely injured, already showing great restraint. Don't force me to get rough!"

Chen Shi said nothing, flipping into the air, mid air as he spun and stepped, swung the saber downward, the blade light like a rainbow, swiftly reaching Zhong Wuwang.

Zhong Wuwang snorted, releasing the Immortal Sword, with a flick of the wrist, clusters of sword light burst forth, meeting the sword energy rainbow.

When the two collided, the rainbow split in the middle, subsequently, hundreds of Blood Transformation Divine Sabers surged from either side!

Zhong Wuwang maneuvered nimbly in the air, dodging swiftly, wielding the Immortal Sword to fend off one saber after another, said solemnly, "Chen Shi, don't push too far! I want to tell you, at Despair Slope I uncovered matters concerning the True King and Heavenly Venerate…"

He spun rapidly, soaring sideways, narrowly avoiding a blade light, the blade light grazed past and scraped off a sliver of flesh from his ear that Chen Shi had previously gnawed off.

Zhong Wuwang couldn't help but become angry, coldly laughed, "Fine! Since you are unreasonable, then let's fight before talk!"
