Chen Heng swore that he did not want to cause any trouble in the Flowing Cloud Sect and just wanted to hide.
He had already made up his mind.
This body of his had a clean background, and he was a true Flowing Cloud Sect disciple.
With this identity, perhaps he would not be able to become the Sect Master's disciple, but as long as he worked hard and displayed enough talent, it was possible for him to become an Elder's disciple.
After a few years, as long as he could kill those Elders and his cultivation was high enough, he would be able to become one of the higher-ups in the Flowing Cloud Sect.
Perhaps it would be difficult to become the Sect Master, but with his abilities, becoming an Elder would not be a problem.
When that time came, he would think of a way to snatch the Flowing Cloud Sect and use it as a foundation to develop.
What a perfect plan.
Yet now, Liu He's actions had completely overturned his previous plans.
He had hidden in the dark and planted demonic qi in his body, trying to control him.
It seemed that something was going to happen in the Flowing Cloud Sect.
It would be impossible for Chen Heng to peacefully hide and take over the Flowing Cloud Sect in the future.
Thinking to there, Chen Heng inwardly shook his head, feeling quite helpless.
"I wonder just how many people he has controlled."
Standing where he was, this thought flashed through his mind. Then, he continued to walk forward.
From what the other party had done, it was evident that they had come prepared.
With such a unique ability, it was unlikely that it would only use it on Chen Heng, nor would it be easy for it to do so.
In that case, were they going to make a move against the Flowing Cloud Sect?
Chen Heng instinctively started to think.
If they were going to make a move against the Flowing Cloud Sect, what benefits would he obtain?
Directly report the existence of this group of people to the inner sect, or even to the elders and the others?
It seemed feasible.
It was just that there were risks.
From how they had openly appeared in the Flowing Cloud Sect as an Outer Court Disciple, it seemed that they had been hiding in the Flowing Cloud Sect for a long time.
Who knew if the other party had an elder hidden within the Flowing Cloud Sect?
If Chen Heng went to report them, would he run into them?
In fact, even if he could see the Flowing Cloud Sect's Sect Master, there would be big problems.
For example, it would not be so easy for him to enter the upper echelons of the Flowing Cloud Sect in the future.
No matter what, he had once been planted with Demonic Qi by Liu He, so he could be considered a criminal.
With this criminal record, it would be very difficult for him to continue staying in the Flowing Cloud Sect, or even climb to the top.
It seemed that no matter what he chose, there would be a lot of trouble.
Various thoughts flashed through Chen Heng's mind, and in the end, he shook his head.
He left the market and returned to his residence.
The surroundings of the residence were still the same as before. Nothing had changed.
However, there were still some people standing outside. From the looks of it, they had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing Chen Heng come up, they hurriedly went up and discussed something.
From the looks of it, all of them had come here to prepare to refine weapons.
Chen Heng did not plan to pay any attention to this group of people.
However, he sensed some disharmony in this group of people.
"These people …"
Chen Heng looked around, and even though his expression did not change, he inwardly frowned.
"The feeling of Demonic Qi …"
These people's bodies gave off a feeling of Demonic Qi.
That was an aura of Demonic Qi, and he instantly sensed it.
Among the group of people in front of him, there was someone with the same demonic aura hidden in their body.
Moreover, there were quite a few of them.
"Three of them …"
Chen Heng looked around and his pupils constricted.
Right now, there were three people who also gave off Demonic Qi, and their situation was similar to his.
If there were three of them here, what about other places?
Chen Heng thought to himself.
Perhaps this place was not suitable for him to stay.
As he thought to himself, he quickly turned and prepared to leave.
Ignoring the group of people behind him, he turned around and left the place.
"Clan brother, you're going back to your hometown?"
Within the Outer Hall, looking at Chen Heng, a look of shock appeared on Zhang Ya's face, seeming quite surprised.
"That's right."
Meeting Zhang Ya's gaze, Chen Heng nodded with a calm expression, "I have some private matters to take care of, so I'm going back to my hometown."
"What about you, Ya 'Er?"
He looked at Zhang Ya and asked casually.
After coming here, he had prepared to run.
He wouldn't have known if he hadn't taken a look, but the moment he did, he was shocked.
The Flowing Cloud Sect was filled with people with Demonic Qi, and it had probably been infiltrated to some extent.
Rather than continuing to stay in this place, it was better to leave this place as soon as possible.
After all, there was nothing much for Chen Heng to ask for if he stayed here.
No matter if it was spirit stones or cultivation techniques, he did not lack them.
As for other things, they were not that important to him.
If the Flowing Cloud Sect had been fine, he would have been motivated to stay in order to take control of the Flowing Cloud Sect.
However, it was clear that the Flowing Cloud Sect had been targeted by the Demonic Sect.
Since that was the case, there was no need for him to stay here.
After all, this was just a small Sect, and there was no need for him to fight to the death over it.
As such, Chen Heng did not have any plans to stay here and prepared to leave.
He had already done what he needed to do.
Yesterday, he had already taken the initiative to request to be sent to a certain spiritual academy to guard it as one of the deacons.
When that time came, he would naturally be able to avoid this place and avoid being attacked in the future.
However, before leaving, he planned to take a few people with him.
For example, Zhang Ya and Hou Juan.
Zhang Ya was this body's clansman, and she was one of his natural subordinates. As for Hou Juan, she was a Fate Holder and was not a bad person.
If it was possible, Chen Heng planned to take both of them with him.
Of course, if they were not willing, there would be no need to say anything.
"Since clansman is going back, Ya'er will naturally come with you."
Standing in front of Chen Heng, Zhang Ya only thought for a moment before giving a slight smile and replying.
To her, making a choice was actually a very simple matter.
Half a year had passed, and she had entered Spirit Refinement and become a true Spirit Refinement cultivator.
However, there were too many people at this level in the Flowing Cloud Sect, and it was not much at all.
If she wanted to gain the respect of others, just this was not enough.
However, if she followed by Chen Heng's side, things would be different.
In terms of status, Chen Heng was her elder brother, and they were connected by blood, so they were quite close to each other.
In terms of cultivation, Chen Heng's cultivation far surpassed hers, and he was willing to take care of her cultivation.
Of course, apart from these reasons, the most important thing was that Chen Heng had money.
As the name implied, he had money.
As one of the rare Tool Refiners in the Flowing Cloud Sect, Chen Heng was very good at earning spirit stones.
Even though others did not know how many spirit stones Chen Heng had earned over the past half a year, as Chen Heng's assistant and clansman, Zhang Ya knew.
This was a person who did not lack spirit stones.
In the world of cultivators, spirit stones meant everything.
Without spirit stones, it would be difficult to advance.
After staying in the Flowing Cloud Sect for half a year, Zhang Ya was very clear about this.
Strictly speaking, whether or not there were spirit stones in the Flowing Cloud Sect was very important.
If one did not have enough spirit stones, not only would no one care about them, but it would also be difficult to advance.
Reaching Foundation Building would be even more difficult.
Following a person who did not lack spirit stones, what did she have to worry about?
After thinking this through, Zhang Ya did not hesitate and nodded in agreement.
Standing in front of Zhang Ya, Chen Heng also nodded and said, "Go back and make some preparations; we'll move out in three days.
However, there might be someone else coming with us. "
"Someone else?"
Hearing this, Zhang Ya couldn't help but be stunned. She subconsciously asked, "Who?"
"Hou Juan."
Chen Heng looked at her and said.
Following this, under Zhang Ya's thoughtful gaze, Chen Heng did not say anything else and turned to leave.
Hou Juan also agreed to Chen Heng's invitation.
Compared to Zhang Ya, it was much easier for her to make a decision.
After all, with her cultivation, she would not be able to survive in the Flowing Cloud Sect.
In actuality, if it wasn't for Chen Heng taking care of her back then, bringing her to the Outer Hall and giving her a job, she most likely would not have been able to survive.
Half a year had passed, and she had not even truly begun to absorb spirit qi or become a spirit cultivator.
Her talent was quite poor.
Seeing this, even Chen Heng could not help but shake his head, not knowing what to say.
Even with Chen Heng taking care of her, not many people in the Outer Hall looked up to her.
Facing this sort of situation, she naturally had nothing to stay with, so it was fine for her to leave.
Three days later, Chen Heng left.
When he left, Zhang Ya and the other girl followed beside him, and just like that, they left together with him.
The journey was quite long.
If it was a powerful cultivator, they would be able to fly through the air.
However, it was evident that Hou Juan and Hou Juan could not do this.
As such, they were like ordinary people, sitting in a carriage and leaving the Flowing Cloud Sect's territory.
After leaving the Flowing Cloud Sect's territory, it took Chen Heng half a month to reach his destination.
Within Nine Peaks City.
The Zhang clan that Chen Heng came from was a large clan in Nine Peaks City, and it was a local tyrant.
There were many cultivators in the clan, but in Chen Heng's generation, there were only three of them.
Apart from Chen Heng and Zhang Ya, there was one other person who had not been able to enter the Flowing Cloud Sect and had gone out on his own. He rarely came back.
Under such circumstances, Chen Heng and Zhang Ya were the only children of this generation of the Zhang clan.
When Chen Heng and the other two returned to Nine Peaks City, there was already a long line of people waiting outside.
The Zhang clan's people had long since received news of their arrival and were waiting here.
"Young master, young miss."
A middle-aged man walked up and looked at Chen Heng and Hou Juan, a look of joy on his face, "The clan leader is waiting for you in the residence."
"Lead the way."
Chen Heng nodded and did not say anything else.
After a while, Chen Heng and Hou Juan slowly walked forwards.
In one of the main halls, an old man was already waiting there.
"Hao's Er, Ya's Er, you're back."
Sitting in the hall, the elderly man looked at Chen Heng and Hou Juan and gave a slight smile.
Within the hall, under the sunlight, the elderly man's appearance was revealed.
He looked to be around 70 or 80 years old, but his mental state was not bad. He sat on a wooden chair and looked at Chen Heng and Hou Juan, a slight smile on his face.
"Greetings, clan leader."
Chen Heng walked in with Zhang Ya and bowed to the elderly man.
The elderly man was called Zhang Chong, and he was the clan leader of the Zhang clan as well as a cultivator.
"Spirit Enhancement Level 6 …"
Chen Heng raised his head and looked at Zhang Chong as he thought to himself.
Spirit Enhancement Level 6 cultivation was quite good, and within the Flowing Cloud Sect, it was the level of an Inner Court Disciple.
However, compared to ordinary cultivators, Zhang Chong had lived for far too long, and his qi blood had long since withered. He did not have the strength of an ordinary cultivator at all.
If they really fought, his battle strength would be far inferior to that of an ordinary Spirit Enhancement Level 6 cultivator.
Even so, this was still quite good.
At the very least, compared to ordinary people, this was already quite terrifying.
At the very least, ordinary independent cultivators would not be a match for Zhang Chong.
This was the Zhang clan's greatest trump card, and it was their greatest battle strength.
Thinking to there, Chen Heng inwardly shook his head.
It was a grand cultivation clan, yet the strongest person in the clan was only at Spirit Enhancement Level 6.
It had to be said that this was quite low.
However, there was nothing that could be done about this.
The Yue Kingdom was a small country, and there were not many cultivators there. Most of the independent cultivators only had Spirit Enhancement Level 1 or 2 cultivation, and those who had Spirit Enhancement Level 3 cultivation were already top-tier independent cultivators.
For someone like Zhang Chong, who had Spirit Enhancement Level 6, not only was he unrivaled among independent cultivators, but he was also quite ordinary in Nine Peaks City. Apart from a few people, he was basically unrivaled.
With this level, it made sense that the Zhang clan viewed Chen Heng's previous self with such importance.
If Chen Heng had not come, this body's previous self would most likely have cultivated to Spirit Enhancement Level 5 or 6, and he might even have entered the Inner Court Disciple of the Flowing Cloud Sect.
With such a talent, he could already be considered as someone who was neither too big nor too small.
There was nothing he could do about it.
Thinking to there, Chen Heng inwardly shook his head.
However, in front of him, Zhang Chong spoke.
"Hao's Er, why did you suddenly come back?"
Looking at Chen Heng, a look of concern appeared on Zhang Chong's face as he said, "When I received your letter, I was given a big fright.
I came here on a mission, "Chen Heng said calmly.
Chen Heng spoke with a calm expression, "The spirit garden outside Nine Peaks City will be under my management from now on."
Hearing this, Zhang Chong felt quite surprised before a look of joy appeared on his face, "That's a good thing!"
The spirit garden's Administrator was not a simple mission, and there were many benefits to be gained from it.
To Zhang Chong, Chen Heng being able to become the Administrator of the spirit garden was undoubtedly good news.
"Then Ya'er and the others …"
Following this, Zhang Chong turned and looked at Zhang Ya and Hou Juan behind Chen Heng.
"Going to the spirit garden, I need some people with me so that I can do things more easily."
Chen Heng said as he looked at Zhang Ya and Hou Juan.
Only then did Zhang Chong understand and say, "That's true.
The relationship within the spirit garden is quite complicated, and if you come rashly, it will not be easy for you to do things.
Calling Ya'er over will make things more convenient. "
"Do you need people?"
He thought for a moment, then said, "A Spirit Garden is not a simple task. If there is a need, I can think of a way to help."
"If it really doesn't work, this old bag of bones should be able to help you quite a bit."
He was quite enthusiastic about this mission, and he viewed it as a very important matter.
However, Chen Heng only shook his head and said, "There's no need to trouble Chief.
"But if I need anything, I'll naturally tell you, Patriarch."
Hearing this, Zhang Chong nodded and did not ask anything else.
The two of them chatted for a while before Chen Heng got up and left.
After Chen Heng left, Zhang Ya once again came back.
"Did your clan brother really come back just for the spirit garden mission?"
Looking at Zhang Ya, Zhang Chong asked worriedly, "Did your clan brother offend someone in the sect?"
"That's not the case."
Zhang Ya shook her head and smiled as she said, "Not only that, clan brother is very popular in the sect."
She told Zhang Chong about everything that Chen Heng had done in the Flowing Cloud Sect over the past half a year, causing Zhang Chong's eyes to light up.
"I never thought that Hao's Er would have such abilities.
"There's finally hope for the Zhang Clan in your generation."
Zhang Chong's eyes shone as he said this, "But who is that person behind Hao's Er?"
"His spirit light is dim; he doesn't seem to be someone from our generation."
Speaking of Hou Juan, who had been standing behind Chen Heng, he frowned, "Why did Hao's Er bring a mortal back?"
"I don't know either."
Zhang Ya shook her head, a look of hesitation on her face, "But does clan brother want to find a dao companion?"
"A dao companion?"
Zhang Chong felt quite surprised.
"That's right."
Zhang Ya nodded, "That person is not a mortal and is a disciple of the Flowing Cloud Sect. It's just that his talent is a bit lacking, and even after entering the sect for nearly a year, he still has not performed a spirit enhancement …
"However, clan brother seems to have taken a liking to him. Not only does he care about him, but he even brought him back this time. It seems that he wants to arrange for him to live in the spirit garden.
