Chapter 118: Foundation Technique

After a while, Chen Heng looked away from the carriage.

No matter what he did, he would have to find a suitable opportunity.

"Sir Chen."

As Chen Heng thought to himself, a voice sounded out from the distance, cutting off his thoughts.

Chen Heng raised his head, looked into the distance, and saw a young girl.

The girl's looks were delicate and pretty, and she wore a simple but elegant robe. She was about 15 or 16 years old and had not yet matured.

From what Chen Heng's memories told him, Liunan Prince Song Qi was also around this age.

"Miss Li."

Just as he had always done, Chen Heng lowered his head and asked, "Has His Highness woken up?"

During the last attack, an enemy had been able to get close to the Liunan Prince. Although Chen Heng had repelled that enemy, the Liunan Prince had fallen unconscious.

It seemed that he had now woken up.

"Yes."

Looking at Chen Heng, the young girl's expression was respectful as she said, "His Highness has woken up and is asking for you."

"I understand," Chen Heng nodded and did not say much else.

He looked around and made sure there were no abnormalities before getting off his horse and walking towards the carriage.

"Is it Commander Chen?"

After approaching the carriage, a voice sounded out, sounding a bit weak.

Following this, the carriage's curtain was pulled aside and a young man's appearance appeared before Chen Heng.

The young man was wearing a golden robe, which looked quite luxurious. His face was quite pale and did not have much color to it; he did not seem to be in good condition.

Despite this, the young man had a unique air about him; even though he was in dire straits, he still seemed somewhat confident.

This young man was the Liunan Prince Song Qi, the person Chen Heng was escorting.

Looking at this young man, Chen Heng felt a bit surprised.

He did not know if it was a misperception, but compared to the Liunan Prince in his memories, this young man seemed a bit different.

Even though his appearance had not changed, his attitude and aura had greatly changed, making Chen Heng feel that he was quite different.

Compared to looks, changing one's aura was much more difficult.

Why had this young man changed so much in just a few days?

Chen Heng inwardly frowned and felt that things were not simple.

However, Song Qi did not know what Chen Heng was thinking.

"Commander Chen, how is the situation in the surroundings?" Song Qi asked with a serious expression.

"During the days that Your Highness has been unconscious, some bandits attacked but your subordinate repelled them. Recently, things have been quite calm."

Chen Heng's expression was calm and steady as he said, "I trust that in a few days, Your Highness should be able to return."

"It's not that simple."

Looking at Chen Heng, Song Qi shook his head, "The Northern Nine Bandits are the sovereigns of this plains; those bandits are just their scouts.

"Now that they have discovered our position, they will most likely attack soon… perhaps even tonight."

"Tonight…"

Chen Heng frowned, "Your subordinate has already checked and found that there are no scouts in the surroundings. Even if they want to want to find us, it will be quite difficult to locate us in this vast plains…"

Song Qi coughed a few times and his expression became a bit cold as he said, "But what if there are spies in our procession and are passing information to them?"

"What?" Chen Heng was startled and stared.

After the attacks, the owner of Chen Heng's body had felt that something was suspicious, and he suspected if there was someone leaking information to the other side.

However, that had just been a suspicion and was not as certain as Song Qi.

In the past, Song Qi had always looked weak and meek, and he did not have his own opinions.

Why had he changed so much so quickly?

Chen Heng was inwardly quite surprised, and his expression was also one of shock.

"Commander Chen…" Song Qi coughed a few times before saying, "Can I trust you?"

"Of course…" Chen Heng nodded with a serious expression, "Your subordinate will follow any orders that Your Highness gives!"

Song Qi nodded before saying, "Very well. Come closer."

Chen Heng felt a bit wary, but he slowly approached with a serious expression.

Song Qi pressed his hand against Chen Heng's head, and a wave of information flooded into Chen Heng's mind.

This information was initially quite chaotic but was soon organized into complicated characters, forming a mysterious and extraordinary technique.

Bright Moon Foundation Technique!

"This is!" Chen Heng's eyes widened as he looked at Song Qi in shock.

Right now, his surprise was not an act.

Based on the memories from this body, this world was a martial arts world, and the martial arts experts could move mountains, topple seas, and face entire armies by themselves.

However, what Song Qi had given him belonged to another system.

It was a cultivation system that used spirit qi to build one's body as the foundation…

This was a cultivation technique, and it was extremely different than normal martial arts techniques.

"The royal family has many collections…"

Song Qi's face was pale as he looked at Chen Heng and said, "This was a cultivation technique I received when I was young; it is the legacy from an ancient cultivator. Now, I give this technique to you."

It seemed that those actions had used up much of his strength.

Standing in front of him, Chen Heng fell silent.

An ancient cultivator's legacy…

He thought back to the identity options when entering the Azure Heaven Realm—one of them was a Cultivator Family.

It seemed that just like in the Sorcerer World, where there were Sorcerers and Knights, there were Cultivators and Martial Artists in this world.

He wondered how different they would be.

"I have given you my most valuable possession; I wonder if Commander Chen is willing to give me his full trust and confidence," Song Qi said as he looked at Chen Heng.

Currently, he felt incredibly anxious.

He knew that his actions were incredibly risky.

However, given his understanding of his predicament and his trust towards Chen Yu, he had chosen to take this risk.

Chen Heng remained silent for a while before speaking.

"I am willing to serve Your Highness to the death."

Within the carriage, Chen Heng remained silent before raising his head and saying earnestly, "I am Your Highness' guard and should serve Your Highness loyally regardless…"

"That's enough for me."

Hearing this, Song Qi smiled.

He knew that given this person's personality, since he had said this, there would not be any changes.

This step of the plan had succeeded, and now…

Chen Heng stayed in the carriage for a while longer before leaving.

After getting out of the carriage, his expression was the same as always, as if nothing had happened.
