Ordinary people can also be extraordinary

The man in gray robe saw a ball of fire with unparalleled momentum rushing towards him. Only then did he realize where his sense of crisis came from. But it was too late. The flames brought by the long arrow that cut through the air passed through the man in gray robe. The man in gray robe felt a void in front of his chest. He looked involuntarily and saw a fist-sized hole in his chest. Surprise and confusion were intertwined. His body and mind were surprisingly relaxed at this moment, making him wander in his mind and recall his life.

Then pain began to spread throughout his body, pulling him back to reality. The man in gray robe let out a scream, and his body began to become cold and weak, and then he slowly fell to the ground.

“Is this what it feels like to be dying?”

The gray-robed man uttered his last words before his death.

Sima Feng walked out from a hidden corner in the distance. Zhang Chen also stood up when he heard the gray-robed man's scream. Before that, Zhang Chen quietly sent out a sound transmission note to let Sima Feng ambush. He would lure the gray-robed man out and kill him with one blow. Otherwise, the two of them would have no way to deal with him in the white fog.

Afterwards, Zhang Chen came to the gray-robed man, and seeing that he had no breath of life but his eyes were still wide open, Zhang Chen first looted him and threw the body into the spirit beast bag that contained the gold-eating bug. Since he had this gold-eating bug, Zhang Chen saved a lot of trouble in dealing with the body.

Then Zhang Chen picked up the gray-robed man’s storage bag and began to search.

"No way? You're so poor."

Zhang Chen only found a mirror, some miscellaneous pills and jade slips in the storage bag, and only more than a thousand low-grade spirit stones. He couldn't help but complain.

"The fog hasn't dissipated yet. What should we do? Go in or not?"

Sima Feng looked at the still thick white fog and began to ponder.

At this time, Zhang Chen had found a jade slip, which recorded a formation called the Mist-Hiding God Formation. This formation could produce white fog, which could shield the spiritual consciousness of cultivators. According to the strength of the formation base, it could even block the spiritual consciousness of a Jindan cultivator.

"It seems that this is the formation plate."

Zhang Chen took the spirit mirror in his hand and observed it. Using the control method described on the jade slip, Zhang Chen began to input spiritual power to control the spirit mirror. Soon the pervasive white mist began to become thinner and eventually disappeared, revealing the Taoist temple above.

The two looked at each other and immediately went towards the Taoist temple. Without the obstruction of the white fog, they arrived at the entrance of the Taoist temple at an extremely fast speed. The Taoist temple was not big and was not built by the gray-robed man. Instead, he occupied this place after he came here. Zhang Chen covered the area with his spiritual sense and did not find any other cultivators. He only found a few children in a room.

So he and Sima Feng walked into the Taoist temple and went towards that room. Looking at the motionless children, Zhang Chen checked and found that the gray-robed man had blocked their meridians with spiritual energy, causing them to be unable to speak and their bodies to be stiff.

He then injected spiritual power to dispel the spiritual energy of the gray-robed man, and soon the children were able to move. They then started crying in fear and all stayed away from the large cauldron that was still steaming, with terrified eyes.

Zhang Chen stretched out his spiritual power and used his spiritual sense to lift the lid of the cauldron from a distance. He used the Cloud-Stepping Step to get on top of the cauldron and looked inside. When he saw what was inside, his face changed involuntarily. The bones of several children were clearly visible, floating up and down inside.

“It’s really not a pity to die.”

Zhang Chen was worried about whether he would kill innocent people indiscriminately, but now he really regretted not killing him earlier. Sima Feng then took the children home, and Zhang Chen dug out the materials for the base and eye of the formation that the gray-robed man had used to set up the formation. Zhang Chen felt that he and Sima Feng would feel more at ease when setting up this formation when they were in the wild and practicing.

Soon after the matter here was resolved, Zhang Chen and Sima Feng walked around the city again and asked the people who had lived here for many years. After confirming that everything was correct, they wiped out all the bullies and corrupt officials in the city. He had initially cultivated immortals just to make his parents' lives a little better, but now that he had achieved success in his practice, of course he wanted to benefit the people.

Instead of being like those self-righteous immortal cultivators who say that there is a difference between immortals and mortals, cut off from all contact with mortals, and ignore the sufferings of mortals.

Afterwards, he and Sima Feng left. Sima Feng continued to control the spirit boat, and the two headed towards the nearest immortal cultivation market. When they passed through a town, they would go for a stroll and eliminate all those who were causing harm and were arrogant and domineering.

Although the two men acted in secret, they still attracted attention. They had just come out of a county town that day and killed many people. Zhang Chen couldn't understand why those powerful people had to bully others and even treat human lives as worthless.

"My two Taoist friends, please stay. Killing mortals indiscriminately is against the laws of the immortal world. Don't you want to explain?"

A man in a purple robe flew on a sword not far from the two people's spirit boat and questioned loudly.

"We kill people who have committed many evil deeds, but we don't kill them indiscriminately."

Zhang Chen looked at him, gathering the spiritual power in his body and secretly taking precautions.

"Oh? Is that so?"

The man only saw two people killing people, but he didn't know who they killed, so he became confused.

"Why did you do that?"

"Why? Of course it's to make life better for the common people."

Zhang Chen looked at him indifferently, knowing that their actions would definitely not be understood by him.

"Once you enter the path of cultivation, you are no longer an ordinary person. I see that you have already reached the foundation-building stage, but how can you still have such a heroic spirit? Don't you know that all things have their own laws of operation? There are hundreds of millions of ordinary people, and among them there are both good and bad people. How can you kill them all?"

"Just have a clear conscience."

Sima Feng glanced at him and didn't seem too impressed.

The man nodded, neither agreeing nor disagreeing. Soon they passed another big city. Zhang Chen and Sima Feng looked at each other, and the spirit boat immediately began to descend.

"We are going to this city to punish the evildoers. Do you want to stop us or join us?"

Zhang Chen looked at him and said calmly.

"Please do as you please. I will neither join nor stop you."

The purple-robed man also descended on his sword, but not with the other two.

The two men ignored him and soon started to inquire in the city. After a few hours, they killed dozens of evil people and left the city.

They had not flown far on the spirit boat when the purple-robed man from before also followed on his sword.

"You two really killed people who deserved to die. I really admire you."

"Is this fellow Taoist planning to follow us all the way?"

Zhang Chen was wary of him and would not trust anyone except Sima Feng.

"I am quite interested in you two, so I want to make friends with you. I am Li Changsheng, from Yunmeng Sect."

Li Changsheng looked at the two alert people and began to introduce themselves.

"Yunmeng Sect? The most important sect of immortal cultivation in Chu."

Zhang Chen was surprised. He didn't expect that he was a disciple of Yunmeng Sect. Moreover, he was so young and his cultivation was not weak. He was probably one of the best among the younger generation.

"Would you two like to introduce yourselves?"

Seeing that Zhang Chen and Sima Feng were only surprised by his identity, he asked again.

"We are just independent cultivators, without any sect or school."

Zhang Chen didn't dare to reveal his name. The information that he and Sima Feng were wanted must have spread here. It would be bad if they were discovered.

"Self-cultivators? The border has been unstable recently. Our Yunmeng Sect is recruiting a large number of self-cultivators to prevent attacks from the beastmen. The reward is based on the number of beastmen killed. Are you interested in considering it?"

Li Changsheng looked at the two of them and revealed his true purpose.

"So that's it."

Zhang Chen suddenly understood why he followed the two of them. He then looked at Sima Feng and saw that he was interested, so he said to Li Changsheng:

"This is the mission of monks like us. Even if you don't tell us, we will join you if we meet you."
