Chapter 108 Newcomers Join the Group!

a perfect world.

Behind Butian Pavilion.

After returning to his cave, Zhu Chen immediately opened the chat group.

He planned to first tell Wang Lin about Hongdie's situation and ask him to stop causing her trouble.

However, when he opened the chat group, he found that Xiao Yan and the others were chatting with a newcomer.

[Xiao Yan: Brother Luo Feng, your timing for joining the group is really inconvenient. If you had joined a day earlier, you could have met Brother Zhu.]

[Lin Dong: Yes, Brother Zhu is a very righteous person. No matter what difficulties we encounter, he will always step forward to help us. It's a pity that he was struck by the Heavenly Tribulation Lightning last time and his body was never found. Otherwise, we would have become sworn brothers long ago!]

[Luo Feng: Actually, you don't need to be too pessimistic. The group owner's name is still in the group; maybe he's not dead yet.]

[Xiao Yan: I also hope so, but Brother Wang said that he personally witnessed Brother Zhu rushing into the lightning tribulation that day. Later, when the lightning tribulation dissipated, he also disappeared. At that time, we searched the entire Pilu Kingdom but could not find any trace of him. I estimate that the possibility of him surviving is extremely slim.]

[Wang Lin: This is all my fault. If I had stopped Fellow Daoist Zhu in time and prevented him from acting rashly, perhaps this accident wouldn't have happened.]

[Lin Dong: Damn it, if only I had been stronger back then...]

[Qian Renxue: I was busy dealing with matters concerning the Heavenly Dou Empire the past few days, I never expected such a big thing to happen in the group.]

[Xiao Yan: Alas~, it's such a pity that my brother Zhu died so young...]

[Han Li: Everyone has their own destiny. Let's not blame ourselves anymore. I think if Fellow Daoist Zhu is watching from heaven, he wouldn't want to see us like this.]

[Luo Feng: Brother Han Li is right. The dead are gone, but the living remain. During my battles against those monsters, many of my comrades and teachers also sacrificed their lives. I don't think we should be discouraged by their deaths. We should carry on their legacy and live well. Wasn't the group leader's dying wish that everyone unite to fight against all the worlds? Let's fulfill that wish for him!]

[Xiao Yan: Wait a minute, did Brother Zhu mention this last wish?]

[Lin Dong: Whether he said it or not, this group belongs to Brother Zhu. Even if it's just to commemorate him, we must make this group thrive. By the way... next time we all become sworn brothers, remember to reserve the leader's position for Brother Zhu. In my heart, he will always be our leader, and no one can replace him!]

[Xiao Yan: I agree!]

Wang Lin: I have no objection either.

Han Li: Me too...

Luo Feng: Whatever...

[Qian Renxue: I agree too.]

……

After reading the topics these people were discussing, Zhu Chen scrolled up to their chat history from the previous two days and finally understood the whole situation.

It turned out that after he chased that wisp of Heavenly Tribulation Lightning to tear through the void and went to the Snow Region Kingdom, he disappeared along with the lightning. Wang Lin and Xiao Yan all thought that he had been destroyed by the Heavenly Tribulation Lightning, so they mourned him in the group.

The story then spread throughout the group.

Qian Renxue, Han Li, and the others were also deeply saddened upon learning of this.

Everyone mourned in the group chat for a long time that day, and the atmosphere in the entire chat group suddenly became much heavier.

Later, when new people joined the group, the atmosphere improved slightly.

As for the newcomer Luo Feng, Zhu Chen also found his information in the chat group records.

The other party comes from the [Swallowed Star] plane.

He is also a protagonist with great potential.

Luo Feng joined the group precisely when he had broken through the Red Butterfly and his cultivation had broken through to the late stage of the Inscription Realm.

He was so focused on the sprint that he didn't notice the notification in the group chat, so he only found out now that a new member had joined.

After understanding the whole situation, in order not to worry the group members, Zhu Chen immediately sent a message in the group chat:
[Zhu Chen: Ahem~, I only went into seclusion for a couple of days, you guys don't need to curse me to death so quickly, do you?]

—Boom! The comment Zhu Chen sent at that moment was like a bombshell exploding on a calm lake, stunning everyone in the group.

The entire chat group fell silent immediately.

No one spoke again.

It wasn't until a moment later that comments started appearing in the group chat, and then they quickly became unstoppable.

[Xiao Yan: Holy crap, Brother Zhu, you're still alive?!]

[Lin Dong: Is that you, Brother Zhu...?]

[Han Li: It seems I was right. Fellow Daoist Zhu is a lucky person and won't perish so easily.]

[Wang Lin: Unbelievable! You actually survived that Heavenly Tribulation Lightning? But why didn't we see you that day? Did you go into seclusion in your own world the moment the tribulation ended?]

[Qian Renxue: That's great! The group owner is alright. This is truly a tremendous blessing!]

[Luo Feng: I knew it! The group owner's name is still in the chat group, he must still be alive...]

Everyone seemed extremely excited at that moment.

Especially Xiao Yan, Lin Dong, and Wang Lin.

Because they were all in the ruins of the Soul Refining Sect at the time, they witnessed Zhu Chen disappear along with the lightning tribulation.

I never expected Zhu Chen to still be alive.

[Zhu Chen: A mere tribulation lightning bolt can't harm me...]

Zhu Chen first showed off in the group chat, then changed the subject and took the opportunity to talk to Wang Lin about the Red Butterfly.

He did not hide his relationship with Red Butterfly.

Given Wang Lin's capabilities, the other party would find out about this sooner or later.

As the old saying goes, sincerity is always the best approach to making friends.

Besides, the people in this group are all trustworthy.

Even the newcomer Luo Feng was one of them.

Although Zhu Chen had not read the novel "Swallowed Star", he had followed the anime series.

As far as he knew, Luo Feng was also a man of great loyalty and righteousness, and one who would hold a grudge.

They are ruthless towards their enemies and never show mercy.

However, he is also quite good to his friends, and he will never be stingy with the help he can give.

Even if the other person is someone you knew from the slums.

In this respect, he is somewhat similar to Lin Dong and Xiao Yan; he remembers kindness and affection and will not forget his roots.

If it were a god-king, he would probably have completely forgotten about his former work-study classmates long ago.

[Wang Lin: Although I have some grudges with that Red Butterfly, she is also a pitiful person. Since Fellow Daoist Zhu has become her Daoist partner, I naturally will not hold my grudges against her...]

Wang Lin was surprised to learn that Zhu Chen and Hong Die were already Daoist partners, but he said he could understand.

Because he also had someone by his side who was just as unrestrained as Zhu Chen.

The other party's behavior was even more outrageous than Zhu Chen's; even his purpose in cultivating immortality was to pick up girls and enjoy himself.

Yes, that person is Situ Nan, the second-generation Vermilion Bird of Vermilion Bird Star!
