Chaos Dao Sheng Jue

After recognizing the newcomer, Gu Tingyuan's face flashed with panic. "Half-Daoist Monk, I didn't come looking for you, yet you still dare to come looking for me. I don't have time to deal with you today. Get lost, or my Gu family will fight you to the death."

Normally, Gu Tingyuan wouldn't take this half-baked monk seriously, but the current situation was already unfavorable for the three of them. If this guy were added to the mix, they would have no chance of winning.

Lu Chen looked the half-Taoist monk up and down, feeling that his name did indeed match his attire.

"Are you three looking for trouble with Gu Tingyuan and his group? That's perfect, I also have a grudge against these old guys. Why don't we join forces and beat them to a pulp?" The half-Daoist monk immediately blocked the retreat of Gu Tingyuan, Ding Yiyan, and Mu Pingzhi.

Clearly, he had already figured out that Lu Chen, Fang Xinyi, and the young cultivator were on the same side. His appearance was probably intended to use Lu Chen and the others to completely eliminate Gu Tingyuan and his two companions. Or perhaps he was waiting to ambush them.

"Half-Daoist Monk, I'll settle this score with you sooner or later. Let's go." Seeing that the Half-Daoist Monk had already unleashed his magic weapon, Gu Tingyuan knew he wasn't joking, so he didn't hesitate to tell Ding Yiyan and Mu Pingzhi to leave.

After a flash of light, the three of them vanished from their spot.

Lu Chen did not stop him. He knew very well that if he wanted to kill the three of them, he would have to use the Taixu Bell or the Chasing Sun Holy Bow.

However, he did not want to use these two treasures lightly unless absolutely necessary, otherwise he would easily expose himself and become the target of everyone's criticism.

Then, Lu Chen stepped forward and clasped his hands in thanks. Although the half-Buddhist monk had not provided any substantial help, his appearance at the crucial moment undoubtedly served as a deterrent.

Furthermore, his unruly personality also won Lu Chen's favor. "Fellow Daoist, thank you for your help, it's just a pity that the three of them escaped."

The monk stopped laughing, fixed his gaze on Lu Chen, and waved his hand, saying, "Haha, fellow Daoist, there's no need to be so polite. Actually, I didn't do anything; I was just scaring those guys a little."

However, to be fair, the fact that you managed to force Gu Tingyuan, the patriarch of the Gu family, to this point is truly remarkable.

Lu Chen smiled slightly and replied modestly, "Fellow Daoist, you flatter me. If it weren't for Fang Xinyi and this friend's help, I'm afraid I would have been unable to escape this calamity on my own."

At this moment, the young cultivator looked at the half-Taoist monk and suddenly asked curiously, "By the way, fellow Daoist, I've always been curious, are you a Taoist or a monk? Judging from your attire, you seem to be both."

Upon hearing this, the half-baked monk chuckled, stroked his beard, and replied, "Half and half, haha. I am a half-baked monk, my path of cultivation is both that of a monk and a Taoist, I do as I please, free and unrestrained."

Back in my youth, I practiced Buddhism in a temple, and later became a disciple of Taoism. So, you could say I'm both a monk and a Taoist priest, though now I prefer to be called a half-Taoist monk. By the way, may I ask how you gentlemen are addressed? This old Taoist is very pleased to meet you all.”

Lu Chen nodded, secretly admiring the senior's unique style, and then continued:

"My name is Lu Chen, and this is my friend Fang Xinyi. As for this fellow Daoist, we just met."

When the young cultivator saw Lu Chen looking at him, he clasped his hands in greeting and said, "I am also very happy to meet you fellow Daoists. My name is Nezha."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen stared in shock at the young cultivator in front of him who called himself "Nezha," countless thoughts flashing through his mind in an instant.

"What? You said your name is Nezha? Then do you have two older brothers, one is Jinzha and the other is Muzha?" he couldn't help but ask.

Upon hearing this, Nezha looked at Lu Chen with equal surprise and asked in delight, "Fellow Daoist Lu Chen, do you know me? I do indeed have two older brothers, Jinzha and Muzha. Could it be that you are also from the Xuanhuang Plane?"

Seeing that the two seemed to know each other before, the monk and Fang Xinyi, who were standing nearby, did not want to disturb them and simply stood quietly by observing the scene.

At this moment, Lu Chen was filled with many thoughts. He didn't know anything about the Xuanhuang Plane, but he remembered a cultivator named Nezha that Pei Hu had mentioned before. At that time, he speculated that the Shenwen Domain might be connected to other immortal or divine planes.

Later, Fang Xinyi confirmed that it was necessary to reach a certain level of cultivation to find the Star Bridge passage.

All of this can be indirectly verified by the old Taoist priest, since he was first encountered in the mortal world of Tianyuan Continent, and later his figure appeared in the immortal realm and even the divine realm.

At this moment, Lu Chen's eyes were filled with curiosity and inquiry. He took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and slowly said, "My situation is indeed a bit complicated. We can talk about it privately when we have the chance, but I have indeed heard of your name."

Nezha smiled slightly and nodded in understanding. "I see. It seems we have a deep connection. May I ask what Fellow Daoist Lu's plans are next?"

He could tell that Lu Chen was hesitant, so he took the initiative to change the subject and prepared to find an opportunity to talk to Lu Chen alone.

Lu Chen said, "Fang Xinyi and I were originally going to the Nirvana Forbidden Land, but we were delayed because we were passing through here."

Nezha's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "That's such a coincidence! I was also preparing to go to the Nirvana Forbidden Land, but I had some dealings with the Gu family before, which is why I was being chased by Gu family patriarch Gu Tingyuan and others."

"Haha... It seems we are truly destined to meet. I am also heading to the Nirvana Forbidden Land. In that case, why don't we travel together and look after each other on the way?" the half-Taoist monk laughed.

Lu Chen had no objection to this, and Fang Xinyi, who was traveling with Lu Chen, naturally did not object either.

At this moment, the Taoist monk smiled slightly and took out an ancient gourd from his hand.

The gourd spun a few times in the air before rapidly expanding until it transformed into a large ship that could carry several people. Seeing this, Lu Chen and the others jumped onto the gourd without hesitation.

The gourd hovered steadily in the air, and soon turned into a streak of light and disappeared into the horizon.

During this time, Lu Chen came to Nezha's side and created a soundproof barrier.

Seeing this, Nezha didn't say anything, but just smiled knowingly and asked, "Fellow Daoist Lu Chen, why don't you just ask what you want to say?"

Lu Chen's gaze was solemn as he slowly said, "In the Xuanhuang Plane you are in, are there the Jade Emperor, the Buddha, and Sun Wukong, among others?"

Upon hearing this, Nezha's eyes flashed with a strange light, and he laughed, "Haha... Fellow Daoist Lu Chen, you are indeed from the Xuanhuang Plane. The person you just mentioned does exist. I just wonder... how did you come to this Shenwen Domain?"

Lu Chen was extremely excited upon hearing this. He had previously been just an ordinary person on Earth, and he never dared to even think about those mythical figures.

Now that he had heard it with his own ears and seen Nezha's true form, it meant that those myths and legends were actually true. How could Lu Chen not be excited?
