Chapter 2401 - 2401: Old Chen!

The other people were also dumbfounded. Although Ye Qing and his group were on the ropes below the cliff just now, they also saw the blue glow and the skeleton frame on this side. Although everyone did not see the specific situation here, it can be confirmed that this area was undoubtedly the battlefield between that blue glow's owner and the skeleton frame. And these fallen trees were all affected by the power of the battle between the blue glow's owner and the skeleton frame, causing them to fall entirely!

Among these trees, there were many ancient trees that even two people couldn't embrace. Such ancient trees couldn't be knocked down even by an expert like the Bloody Monk attacking with full strength. Yet now, an unknown number of such ancient trees have fallen, showing just how terrifying the power of the chaotic battle was!

"That skeleton frame likely possesses Beyond The Pinnacle power." Helian Tiehua said in a deep voice, "However, the skeleton frame was ultimately slain by that blue glow. This indicates that the owner of that blue glow is also Beyond The Pinnacle!"

"The power of a Beyond The Pinnacle duel is indeed terrifying, isn't it?" Ding Lianshun couldn't help but sigh. They were all unconscious during the battle between the Corpse Ghost Dragon and Fu Qingping last time and did not witness its horror.

"Who exactly is the owner of that blue glow?" Ye Qing looked at the few people next to him and said, "The blue glow should be his form transformation ability. Based on the attributes of strength, this person should belong to the Taoist Sect."

"Could it be Wuji?" Yin Xianzi asked in a low voice.

"Can't be, can it?" Helian Tiehua looked at everyone and said, "If it were Wuji, he wouldn't use Beyond The Pinnacle power to deal with that skeleton frame. Because once Beyond The Pinnacle power is used, it would attract Heavenly Retribution!"

Ding Lianshun said, "If it's not him, are there any other Beyond The Pinnacle masters in the Taoist Sect?"

"Even if it's not Wuji, no matter who it is, using Beyond The Pinnacle power would still attract Heavenly Retribution!" Ye Qing said in a deep voice, "This person didn't hesitate to invite Heavenly Retribution to deal with this skeleton frame, showing that he sees this skeleton frame as a major enemy!"

"Who exactly is this person?"

The doubt lingered in everyone's hearts; no one could guess the identity of the owner of the blue glow.

As everyone was deep in thought, Huangfu Ziyu suddenly said, "Huh, there's someone down the mountain?"

Everyone looked in the direction Huangfu Ziyu pointed, only to see a person in a dense forest halfway up the mountain vigorously waving at them. This person was pinned down by a skeleton frame and seemed unable to crawl out.

"Who is that?" An elder from the Seven Steering Committees of Hong Alliance asked in surprise.

Helian Tiehua: "Don't know, looks kind of familiar!"

"Could it be the owner of the blue glow?"

"How could that be? The owner of the blue glow, pinned under this skeleton frame without being able to crawl out?"

"Then who could it be?"

Everyone was discussing, except Ye Qing, who did not speak. Helian Tiehua had just said that the person looked familiar, but for him, it was more than just familiar. He actually knew this person. Because this person was none other than Old Chen, whom he brought out from the Tomb of Ghost Valley Master, that lazy, greedy, and wordy Old Chen!

How did Old Chen end up here? How did he get pinned under that skeleton frame? And is he the owner of the blue glow?

The three questions filled Ye Qing's mind, leaving him somewhat confused. Old Chen was already very mysterious, and Ye Qing had never been able to understand his identity and background. This incident made Ye Qing even more curious about him. What is Old Chen up to? And is he related to the blue glow just now?

Finally, Huangfu Ziyu beside Ye Qing recognized Old Chen. She pointed at Old Chen and said, "Isn't that Old Chen?"

"Which Old Chen?" Helian Tiehua didn't react for a moment.

"You forgot, the one who hangs out at Ye Zi's place every day, eating and drinking, and is particularly wordy, that Old Chen!" Huangfu Ziyu replied.

"Oh my, is it him?" Helian Tiehua almost swore. Everyone was still wondering if this person was the owner of Qing Mang. Who knew it was the lazy Old Chen, such a letdown, who could accept this?

"How could he be here?" Bloody Monk asked in a solemn voice.

"Who cares why? Go ask and you'll find out!" Ding Lianshun said, rushing over to Old Chen first. He was very curious, wanting to know if Old Chen was the owner of Qing Mang.

The others quickly followed, and soon they were at Old Chen's side. Seeing Old Chen's situation, everyone couldn't help but chuckle. The old guy seemed to be standing under a large rock when the skeleton structure happened to fall down, crashing into the ground to block the way. And the skeleton structure just happened to encircle the rock, trapping him inside, with wings pressing on him directly.

This skeleton structure wasn't particularly big or small. Anyway, relying on one person's strength alone, it was impossible to push aside this structure. Hence, Old Chen was directly trapped under it and couldn't get out.

Seeing everyone come over, Old Chen immediately said, "Hey, are you guys blind or something? I've been waving my hand for ages, do you not see it or are you deliberately ignoring me? I saw you all, yet why did you start chatting away? Don't you know I'm almost trapped to death here, and you still have time to chat nonsense? Do you know what it means to respect the elderly and love the young? Do you think it's fun watching me trapped here? Not even thinking of helping, what kind of character is this? I'm just saying, calling yourselves Peak Masters, yelling about saving the world. Can't even rescue an old man, what are you all doing?

Hearing Old Chen speak, everyone felt a headache coming on. This old guy, you can't really chat with him. Listening to a few sentences makes you want to beat him up!

"How did you end up here?" Ye Qing interrupted Old Chen and asked.

Old Chen said, "When I ran over here, suddenly two people started fighting in the sky. Those crushed stones and splintered wood flew everywhere. Seeing the situation, I thought, oh man, it's dangerous, better find a place to hide. I originally planned to hide behind this rock for a while. Who would expect, not long after hiding here, this damn skeleton structure fell from the sky and trapped me right here. Hey, does this count as a stroke of bad luck? How can I be this unlucky? Just got trapped like this out of nowhere? Exactly here, trapped just right, how unlucky is that? If I hadn't been quick to step back, I might've been crushed to death by this skeleton structure. Look at the ground, a stone tablet surface, smashed into such a deep pit. If it hit a person, wouldn't that be terrible?"

Everyone was speechless for a moment, Old Chen really is never-ending with his words, without getting to the point. But fortunately, they also got some key information from his words: he definitely wasn't the owner of Qing Mang because when he arrived, someone was fighting, surely the owner was fighting with the skeleton structure, Old Chen was just passing by.

"When you were here, did you see what the person fighting the skeleton structure looked like?" Helian Tiehua asked.

Old Chen: "Hey, how am I supposed to answer that? I've already said, as soon as I got here, I saw them start fighting. But they were quite far from me, how could I see their appearance? With stones and splinters flying everywhere, I barely had time to dodge, let alone check their faces. I mean, it's not a beauty, why would I risk my life to look? If a small stone flew over and accidentally hit me, wouldn't that mean my life is over? Not to mention small stones, my position earlier, if slightly off, the skeleton structure could have crushed me, why bother looking? You'd be lucky to find me just in time for my funeral, still expecting me to tell you anything else? Dream on!"

"Can't you speak plainly, if you didn't see then you didn't see, why all the nonsense?" Ding Lianshun said, frustrated.

Old Chen glared and said, "Hey, kid, do you not like the way I speak or something? Come on, tell me, what exactly is it you're so unhappy with? Where did I speak wrong? Since when is it your place to dictate how I speak? What's with people these days? You ask me questions but don't want me to talk, what should I do? What kind of logic is this? Is this how you do things?"

"I..." Ding Lianshun opened his mouth wide, unable to chat with Old Chen at all. This old guy's mouth is simply unmatchable, goes on endlessly.

"Enough, stop this nonsense!" Ye Qing waved his hand and said to Old Chen, "How did you end up in this mountain?"

Old Chen seemed suddenly cheerful, regaining his spirit, "Hey, as for this matter, it's a long story!"

Everyone almost fainted; it's another long story, how long are you going to talk?

"Make it short!" Ye Qing patted the skeleton structure and said, "Finish in a minute, or else we won't care anymore!"

"Hey, don't!" Old Chen said anxiously, "How can you do this? Don't you understand respecting the elderly and loving the young? Let's not even talk about respect now, not saving someone dying is wrong too!"

Ye Qing: "Fifteen seconds!"

Old Chen: "Hey, Young Ye, are you bullying me on purpose? I'm telling you, I'm resilient. You want me to speak, but I just won't!"

"Thirty seconds!" Ye Qing said calmly, completely unfazed by Old Chen's threat.

Old Chen: "Hey hey hey, I haven't even started speaking, how can you count the time? Young Ye, Young Ye, I'm telling you, if you pull this again, I won't be polite. You should know, I'm not that easy to deal with; aggravate me, and I'll annoy you day and night, I'll drive you crazy!"
