Chapter 061: Argument

Chen Xiao’s mental strength was now at the fourth level, making his perception extremely sharp—he immediately heard Li Chengfei’s voice.
“What, do you still want to steal my staff?” Chen Xiao raised the Star and Moon Staff in his hand and sneered. As for Li Chengfei’s three second-level followers, they had already passed out—there was no comparison between the two.
Li Chengfei seemed to realize his situation at this point. With a cold expression, he turned to leave.
Only those at the peak of the third level could instantly defeat three second-level ablers! And although a staff could enhance strength, it was merely a supplementary tool—true strength came from within. Li Chengfei, at only the first level, was destined to be bullied.
“Did I say you could go?” Chen Xiao snorted coldly. “I said apologize.”
“Don’t go too far!” Li Chengfei stopped and gritted his teeth.
“I’ve already given you a chance.” Chen Xiao lifted the Star and Moon Staff slightly, and dense water energy began to gather in the air.
“I’m sorry, it was my fault earlier!” Li Chengfei’s expression changed. After hesitating, he stepped forward and said through gritted teeth, “You can go now.”
Chen Xiao put away his staff and said indifferently, “You can leave.”
Li Chengfei glared viciously at Chen Xiao, then took out his ability card and left the world of abilities in an instant. His three followers weren’t even given a second thought.
……
“What’s going on? Why are you the only one left? Where are Lu Feng, Lu Yan, and Zhang Ting?”
In a secluded corner of the Flame Soul Realm, Chen Xiao comforted Ren Tong before asking.
“Wah…”
At that moment, Ren Tong couldn’t hold back anymore and burst into tears.
“They’re dead! Brother Lu Feng, Brother Lu Yan, and Sister Zhang Ting—they’re all dead! I’m the only one left!” Ren Tong sobbed.
“What?!” Chen Xiao immediately stood up. “What exactly happened?!”
Lu Yan and the others were among the first people Chen Xiao met in the world of abilities, and the only ones he knew well. Sharing hardships together, hearing of their deaths filled him with sorrow.
“That day, after reporting the vampires’ situation to the Flame Soul Realm Ablers Association, as soon as we left the association’s premises, we were attacked by unidentified ablers. Brother Lu Yan and the others died trying to protect me—there wasn’t a trace of them left! If it weren’t for some people from the association coming to help, I probably would’ve…”
Fear appeared on Ren Tong’s face.
“Did you see any features of the attackers?” Chen Xiao’s face darkened. He immediately thought of the vampires’ revenge. Back then, he hadn’t shown up out of fear of retaliation, but now it seemed he had dragged them all into trouble.
Chen Xiao reproached himself silently.
Now, he wasn’t afraid of the vampires’ revenge, but Lu Yan and the others couldn’t withstand it. At that time, he was just a novice, having to be extremely cautious—how could he dare to step forward?
“No,” Ren Tong shook her head confusedly. “They were all wearing black clothes; I couldn’t see their faces at all.”

Chen Xiao nodded. He would go check with Chris in a while; probably everything would become clear then.
Chen Xiao’s mood was quite strange. Although he was extremely angry upon hearing about the deaths of Lu Yan and the others, he didn’t lose his composure. Everything seemed to unfold naturally, like flowing water.
“What just happened? Why is that Li Chengfei pestering you?” Having decided to check with Chris, Chen Xiao changed the subject.
“The Heart-Revealing Grass—those we found in the Superpower World last time. Due to the vampire situation, we didn’t have time to deal with it. I no longer have any star coins to go back with, so I wanted to sell this grass to get star coins to activate the teleportation array. Who knew that major events have occurred in the Superpower World recently? All the star coins from the Flame Soul Domain Superpower Association have been taken away, making it impossible to exchange them. And just now, when I took out the Heart-Revealing Grass at the association, Li Chengfei saw it, and that’s how it turned out.”
Ren Tong’s expression was filled with grievance.
Chen Xiao knew that each superpower association had a teleportation array for members to travel between. Ren Tong’s own superpower card wasn’t issued by the Flame Soul Domain Superpower Association, and its level was low, so she couldn’t enter or leave freely here. If she wanted to return to the secular world, she could only go back to the location of her own superpower association.
“I have fifty star coins here. Take them for now. As for Lu Yan and the others, I’ll handle it myself. You don’t need to worry about it.”
After some thought, Chen Xiao handed fifty star coins to Ren Tong.
“But, senior…” Ren Tong hesitated and didn’t take them.
“I’m not some senior. My real name is Chen Xiao. Star coins mean nothing to me. Anyway, the Flame Soul Domain is really unsafe these days. You’d better leave soon.” The Flame Soul Domain corresponded to Jinghua City, the capital of China in the secular world. Now that vampires and dark vampires had gathered there, staying any longer would likely put Ren Tong in danger.
“Mm.” After a moment’s hesitation, Ren Tong finally took them.
“Senior Chen Xiao, I’m giving you this Heart-Revealing Grass. Keeping it with me would only bring trouble sooner or later.”
“Okay.” Chen Xiao didn’t refuse. He understood the saying, “An innocent man bears no blame for possessing treasure.” Now that his strength had reached level four and the time in the Main God Space had doubled, he had no concerns.
Later, Chen Xiao and Ren Tong went to the teleportation array in the Flame Soul Domain. They placed ten star coins on it, and with a flash of light, Ren Tong disappeared.
“Chris, I hope this wasn’t done by your vampires…”
Chen Xiao murmured to himself, looking at the now-empty teleportation array.
……
“Brother, it’s him! He’s the one who, along with a woman, stole the Heart-Revealing Grass I worked so hard to get back! He also injured the bodyguards my family gave me!”
At that moment, Li Chengfei’s signature voice rang out behind Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao turned around and saw Li Chengfei leading a group of over a dozen people, with Li Chenggang, the leader of the Keda Superpower Club, at the front.

“Huh? Chen Xiao? How could it be you?” Li Chenggang was surprised upon seeing Chen Xiao. “Cheng Fei, what’s going on? Are you sure he’s the one who stole your Heart-Revealing Grass?”
“Senior, we meet again.” Chen Xiao looked at Li Chenggang without much surprise; everything was within his expectations.
“As for what exactly happened, ask your younger brother. I’m sure he can explain it clearly,” Chen Xiao said calmly, with a gentle smile on his face.
“Cheng Fei,” Li Chenggang turned to ask.
Seeing that this person seemed to know his brother, Cheng Fei’s expression changed, but then he gritted his teeth and said, “That’s right, it’s him! He’s the one who stole my Heart-Revealing Grass!”
Li Chenggang raised his head and smiled at Chen Xiao. “Chen Xiao, do you have anything to say? Although we’re in the same club, you bullied my brother and stole his treasure. You should at least give me an explanation, right?”
Chen Xiao shook his head slightly. This Cheng Fei really had thick skin. As the saying goes, those who have no shame are invincible—he was already invincible.
“There’s nothing to explain. The truth is right there. If you refuse to believe it, I have nothing more to say. As for that Heart-Revealing Grass, it’s indeed with me.”
Trying to reason with them now was a waste of time. In this world of supernatural powers, the law of the jungle prevails—strength speaks. Wouldn’t it be easier to explain things after knocking them all out with absolute power?
“I don’t want to fight you. Just hand it over,” Li Chenggang said coldly.
“I can’t comply with a request from an old acquaintance,” Chen Xiao shook his head.
