Chapter: 5401

Ye Chen patiently listened and smiled slightly, then shook his head: "Hong Tianshi, don't go against your master's will. I advise you not to let your ancestors of our Taoist school get disappointed."

As he spoke, he glanced at the time and said: "Hong Tianshi, I have something to attend to. I need to go to Xiangxi Liwen Spring for a while, and my car might not be able to take you as well, so please don't sit down yet. You can just hail a taxi and head back home first. Then I'll make arrangements for someone to contact you and let me know when the flight is ready. I'm off now, goodbye!"

Hong Changqing saw Ye Chen was about to leave and subconsciously pleaded: "Ye Dashi... You're in such a hurry, Ye Dashi! As a subordinate, I've really learned my lesson, so please give me another chance to turn over a new leaf!"

Ye Chen smiled: "Look at what you're saying. What's wrong with following your master's instructions? Don't deny yourself or be self-deprecating. I have something to attend to, and I'll see you later."

Hong Changqing didn't dare let Ye Chen leave so easily, fearing that if Ye Chen really turned his back on him, he would be in trouble - his four meridians would be ruined!

So he could only cling to the car door, sobbing: "Ye Dashi, it's hard to cultivate! Please look upon my penitent attitude and give me another chance..."

Ye Chen smiled slightly: "Sorry, but I can't give you that. After all, it's just about four meridians, isn't it? Just go back and focus on closing your meditation for a few decades before you'll be able to start again."

Hong Changqing choked back his tears: "Ye Dashi, my situation is such that I may not even have three or five decades left to live..."

Ye Chen refused to continue talking with him, turning away and saying: "Hong Tianshi, shut the car door for me. I'm leaving now, thank you!"

As Ye Chen spoke, some spiritual energy was transferred into Hong Changqing's brain, and Hong Changqing subconsciously closed the car door. Before Ye Chen could turn back around, he had already stepped on the gas pedal and driven away.

After Ye Chen left, Hong Changqing shook his head and shouted loudly from behind: "Master Ye! Master Ye, you can't just abandon your disciple like this!"

But Ye Chen didn't bother to listen to him, blinked, and in an instant, the person and car had already disappeared into thin air.

Hong Changqing chased after him for several hundred meters but couldn't catch up. He saw Ye Chen's car drive onto the highway leading to the outskirts, looking utterly dejected as he sat on the ground crying: "Master Ye, I'm a friend of your wife, or at least an old acquaintance, and how can you treat me like this?"

But Ye Chen didn't care about his tears, having already sped off towards Xianghe Lishi Hot Springs.

In reality, according to Ye Chen's plan, he wanted Hong Changqing to teach at Xianghe Lishi Hot Springs, while he would help him perfect his martial arts skills or even develop a new one for him. This way, Hong Changqing could teach the family members and young warriors from Wanyang Hall, as long as he did well. If that happened, Ye Chen wouldn't be taking advantage of him, and it wouldn't take long to help him break through the mysterious realm.

However, Ye Chen didn't anticipate that this old man had so many hidden agendas, not to mention his unwillingness to reveal his martial arts skills was likely due to a genuine principle. Just considering his attitude as a member of two family clans made Ye Chen realize that he wasn't worth keeping around.

So, in Ye Chen's eyes, the only way to deal with him was to thoroughly subdue him first; otherwise, those little secrets would always be lurking in the back of his mind, waiting to become unstable factors.

Using spiritual energy to seal off his four meridians was as easy as pie for Ye Chen. The meridians were indeed a bit troublesome to open up, but closing them down was ridiculously simple.

This is like digging a 10-kilometer tunnel, requiring massive engineering efforts and enormous human resources.

However, if he wanted to render a 10-kilometer tunnel that was already in operation impassable, all it would take is to dump a load of earth into the entrance and everything would be settled.

Moreover, the most interesting thing is that Ye Chen sealed his four meridians using spiritual energy, although it was only a tiny amount. However, Hong Changqing didn't have any spiritual energy inside him, and spiritual energy was like a strike from a higher dimension to him; he couldn't even respond to it.

Ye Chen had just been bluffing when he said that Hong Changqing could still break through in three or five years. In reality, he was just looking for an excuse to get Hong Changqing to go back and cultivate himself for 100 years, let alone break through one meridian.

In a sense, Ye Chen's tiny amount of spiritual energy had already sealed Hong Changqing's fate, determining his future path in martial arts.

This wasn't as simple as going back to 30 years ago; this was like putting him into a state of suspended animation for 30 years.

Hong Changqing didn't know at this moment that Ye Chen had sealed his four meridians, and he didn't understand what it meant. He only knew that he couldn't just accept defeat like this. JrNovels.com
