The Tao is far away

Wang Buyan quietly followed Wang Chi out.

After Wang Chi left, Wang Heng instantly took off the kind mask and was replaced by a gloomy face.

His eyes were sharp and cold, like a bird of prey staring at its prey, as he watched Wang Chi's figure gradually disappear into the distance.

"Humph, this person is definitely not the son of my third brother!"

"Could it be that this person harmed my third brother and came here to deliver the letter out of shame?"

"If you didn't kill him, why did you help him?"

"If you stay at the Wang family, I will treat you as my nephew. If you leave, don't blame me for being rude!"

"So what if he's an immortal cultivator? According to what my third brother said in the letter, he's nothing more than a Qi-refining cultivator at best!"

Wang Chi turned his head and looked at the magnificent palace, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Anyone who sees such a magnificent mansion would be moved, but since he has chosen to embark on the path of cultivating immortals, he can only move forward with determination.

"Strange, why did she follow me?" Wang Chi noticed that Wang Buyan was walking towards him, and he couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Wang Buyan walked up to Wang Chi and said softly, "Walk with me!"

Although full of doubts, Wang Chi still walked side by side with her silently.

The weather today is exceptionally sunny, and the sunshine shining on the ground where the snow has just stopped falling looks particularly bright.

Wang Buyan seemed to have a secret that was difficult to tell, and an embarrassed look appeared on her face.

Her hesitation made Wang Chi even more curious.

"Miss Wang, is there something wrong?"

Finally, Wang Buyan stopped, lowered her head and was silent for a moment, then raised her head with a determined light in her eyes: "Brother Chi, can you... take me... away?"

This sudden request made Wang Chi stunned: "What, why?"

Wang Buyan's eyes flashed with a pleading look: "Didn't you read the letter?"

"That's what your father left for you. I'm naturally not going to see it."

Wang Buyan's expression became complicated. She suddenly pulled Wang Chi's arm and said in an almost pleading tone, "Take me away from here, no matter where we go!"

Wang Chi gently pulled Wang Buyan's hand away and said firmly: "Miss Wang, the place I'm going to is too dangerous. Taking you with me will only harm you. Just live a good life in the palace!"

"Wang, take your leave!"

After saying that, Wang Chi turned around without looking back and started walking towards the outside of the city.

Although he was confused, he knew in his heart that Wang Buyan was only his sister in name.

In Situ's words, the cause and effect between them has been resolved.

The sun gradually disappeared into the clouds, and tiny snowflakes began to float in the sky again.

Pedestrians on the street were hurrying back, while Wang Buyan was standing alone on the street, watching Wang Chi's back gradually going away, her eyes full of loss and sadness.

The world around me seemed to be shrouded in silence by the falling snow.

When Wang Chi walked out of the city, it was already dark and he found an abandoned temple with no one in it.

Under the dim moonlight, he sat on the worn-out mat and took out the entry token.

He closed his eyes, and his spiritual consciousness slowly immersed in the token, and a detailed map emerged in his mind.

"This should be the location of Tianji Gate." Wang Chi thought to himself, feeling the flow of information coming from the map.

His consciousness wandered across the map and finally locked onto the location of his destination.

Even if Xue Lian flew at full speed, it would take at least two months to reach Tianji Gate from his current location.

Wang Chi opened his eyes and looked at the swaying light and shadow in the dilapidated temple.

He gently put away the entry token and decided to rest here for a while and set off at dawn.

The night wind outside blew coolly, and the doors and windows of the dilapidated temple crackled.

About an hour later, suddenly, an arrow shot silently towards Wang Chi's head.

In this moment of life and death, Wang Chi was shocked, but his reaction was surprisingly calm.

His spiritual thoughts quickly attached to the arrow feathers, and using the weak power of spiritual thoughts, he forcibly changed the direction of the arrow's flight.

The arrow drew a strange arc in the air, and just when it was about to hit Wang Chi's forehead, it avoided his head and flew towards the statue behind him.

The arrow's force did not diminish, and the statue shattered into pieces, turning into dust.

Wang Chi frowned slightly, then expanded his spiritual sense and scanned the surrounding environment.

He soon discovered four figures. These four people had no fluctuations in spiritual power and were obviously masters among mortals.

"Hmph, a master? Maybe in the past, I would have been afraid of him."

Wang Chi sneered in his heart.

"But now I have reached the late stage of Qi Refining, not to mention the early stage of Foundation Building Blood Refining."

Quiet, surprisingly quiet.

"Third brother, how did you shoot the arrow?" A voice suddenly broke the silence of the night. As the words fell, four figures appeared from four different directions like ghosts, surrounding Wang Chi in the middle.

The uniform attire of these four men revealed their identities - killers.

They held swords in their hands, wore masks to conceal their identities, and wore black tights to facilitate movement.

Wang Chi frowned slightly, and speculated in his heart: "Is this... a killer? Strange, I have just arrived in Shangshan County for more than two days, and it seems that I haven't offended anyone."

Although he was full of doubts and didn't understand why he became the target of the killer, Wang Chi's expression did not change at all.

Wang Chi still had a smile on his face as he calmly looked at the killers in front of him.

"Who are you? Who sent you?" Wang Chi asked calmly, without a trace of fear or tension in his voice.

The killers looked at each other, seeming a little surprised by Wang Chi's reaction.

They did not answer Wang Chi's question, but instead tightly grasped the swords in their hands, ready to attack again.

One of the killers pulled out a portrait from his bosom, threw it at Wang Chi, and said coldly: "This is you, kill yourself, so I can report to the higher-ups!"

He also glanced at Xue Lian who was standing next to him, and said to him with disdain, "Big Tall Guy, you have nothing to do here."

Then there was a loud shout: "Get out!"

Xue Lian's body was towering, and he ignored the killer's shouts. He stood there like an unshakable mountain, with a steady and majestic aura.

"Why, you don't want to leave? Then stay here!"

Then, the four of them attacked Wang Chi and the other two at the same time.

In their opinion, four against two, the advantage is on my side!
