1089 Jiang Ziya Joins the Team

"According to what Xiao Tianquan said, as long I use the Returning Bracelet to mark that special place, I can go there anytime I'd like. I could even bring anybody I want to with me! That is a privilege only demigods have!"

Chen Xiaobei's eyes glimmered with anticipation and excitement.

To enter that special place – believed to be the Earth God Realm – required the recommendation of a demigod.

But if Chen Xiaobei marked the place, he could just use the Returning Bracelet and bring his own family and friends there.

"An abundance of Spiritual Medicine and Spiritual Items, Spiritual Stones the size of a fist, a cave that is filled with Spiritual Items! It would be freaking awesome if I could bring everyone there!"

The more he thought about it, the more excited he got.

His parents, his siblings and friends, his platonic best girlfriends; Chen Xioabei would never leave them behind, no matter what. Whenever there's something good, It would always be them he would think of.

If the time was right, he might even move the entire Bei Xuan faction there.

Of course, this were all just ideas for now.

Chen Xiaobei would have to wait until Nikkawa Okazaka's big wedding to go scout that special place under the disguise of Nikkawa Uchu.

Usually, opportunities and dangers both come in a package. Without first ensuring that the place was safe, Chen Xiaobei would not bring his friends and family to the front line.

"Let me test it out first. I will need to know how to use it beforehand or else, I'll be in trouble…" 

Chen Xiaobei cleared his mind and communicated with the Returning Bracelet in order to learn how to use it. "Thank god, I didn't go after them. The mark was still outside earth… Now, let me mark this place!"

The Returning Bracelet's setting changed according to his will.

Before he left into the deep forests, Chen Xioabei gave Tanaka Tsuyoshi and Cang Jingu some medicine.

"Why did Bro Bei leave?" Cang Jingu asked.

"I'm not sure… How could we ever understand what Bro Bei is thinking?"

Tanaka Tsuyoshi shook his head. 

Zuuup!

After a few minutes, a silver screen appeared out of nowhere.

"What the hell! Isn't… isn't that the Special Ability that the big black dog used?"

Cang Jingu was alarmed.

"I know!" Tanaka Tsuyoshi's eyes lit up as he explained to his companion, "Bro Bei must be using the black dog's Spiritual Item!"

Swish… Swish… Swish…

Four silhouettes walked out of the silver projection.

Li Xiang was the first, looking absolutely stunned. "My god… Who knew that such an awesome Spiritual Item exists! Coming here took like a second! This is crazy…"

Six Ear Macaque was next. He scratched his ears and said, "Returning Bracelet is nothing out of the ordinary. The larger version of it can teleport hundreds of thousands of soldiers from one place to another place!"

Behind him were Chen Xiaobei and Jiang Ziya.

Chen Xiaobei looked like a child with gifts on Christmas morning. 

With this obscure Spiritual Item, he would be able to use it on many occasions in the future!

Jiang Ziya, on the other hand, looked ghastly, as if he was still in danger.

"Old Jiang, now you know I didn't lie to you, right? You can never return to heavenly realm ever again!"

Chen Xiaobei hammered the final nail in the coffin when he said, "The Chanism has already marked you and Six Ear Macaque as targets to be eradicated. You know too much. They will have to kill you!"

"You don't have to say that… I already know…"

There was a painful look in Jiang Ziya's eyes. "I've never thought that the Primordial Lord of Heaven would be so cruel! I've followed him for so many years! He, of all people, should know that I will never betray him!"

"Thing is that it's actually pretty simple! The calamity is coming really soon! The Primordial Lord oh Heaven doesn't want anything that could potentially threaten his status in heaven! You should know better than anyone that all the sects in heaven have their target on Chanism! If he doesn't watch out for all the threats, he may bring forth destruction to Chanism!" said Six Ear Macaque. 

"I understand now…." Jiang Ziya sighed deeply and said with gritted teeth, "To hell with the heavenly realm! Since the Primordial Lord of Heaven had abandoned me, I am no longer a member of the Chanism!"

"Now, that's a firm decision! It looks like you're not such a hopeless pedantic after all!" Six Ear Macaque chuckled.

Jiang Ziya then looked at Chen Xiaobei and asked, "Xiaobei! Does your offer still stand?"

Chen Xiaobei nodded and said, "I will never go back on my words!"

"Alright! From today onwards, I, Jiang Ziya, will follow you!" Jiang Ziya said in a most serious manner. "I believe that as long as I follow you, someday, I will be able to go back to the heavenly realm! And I want to see what will Chanism turns into!"

"You're thinking so far ahead…" Chen Xiaobei laughed to himself. "I'm thinking how to leave the planet! It really frustrates me!" 

"Is it really far?"

Jiang Ziya shook his head and said, "It has not even been one year since the Three Realms Red Envelope Group was established. At the rate of your development, it won't be long before you ascend to the heavenly realm!"

Chen Xiaobei had a faraway look on his face. 

"Speaking of the Three Realms Red Envelope Group… It seemed like just yesterday that the group was created. But it also feels like it was ages ago…"

Jiang Ziya simply smiled. He knew in his heart that, this time, Chen Xiaobei would be able to make a name for himself in the heavenly realm during the calamity. But he would not mention it again so that Chen Xiaobei would not be pressured.

"Alright, let's set this issue aside first!" Chen Xiaobei said. "Our operation here in Japan is at its final stage. I will send all of you back to Bei Xuan first. I will come back soon after!"

At the mention of leaving, Li Xiang could not hold himself back anymore. 

"Have we found the Ninth piece of the Orochi's scale? I will not return if we haven't found it!"

"Don't worry!" Chen Xiaobei assured. "I've found out that it is in the hands of the Emperor God. I will think of a way to get it before I go back to China!"

"Alright! That's great!" Li Xiang was feverish. "Then, I'll go back to China and contact the others who have the other pieces of scales. When you come back, we'll go for a treasure hunt!"

"We're in no rush, right?"

Chen Xiaobei was taken aback slightly by his enthusiasm.

"No! Of course not! I will need quite some time to contact all those people! It won't be easy!" Li Xiang said.

"Alright!" Chen Xiaobei nodded. "Then if there's no other problem, I'll send all of you back to China!"

...

Everything was as per usual back in China. Nothing unusual happened. Chen Xiaobei even stayed to have a meal and took a nap.

By the time he had returned to Japan, it was already the morning of the next day.

"There's are only 24 hours left until the wedding! If I'm right, Little Fox's brainwashing will end tonight. I will have to be ready to rescue her!"

Chen Xiaobei prepared himself for battle.
