Chapter 105: Gong Hangwen, You Are Courting Death
Click.
Chen Yan turned on the light; Gong Hangwen, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, had been sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, his body shrouded in the gloom.
At this moment, the trace of a smile on his face became stiff.
"You..."
Gong Hangwen was somewhat hesitant; he had entered Chen Yan's living room quietly, yet he had actually been discovered by Chen Yan.
The problem was, what was Chen Yan's Cultivation Realm, and what was his own?
Had he been so physically drained by the Chu Family affair these past few days that even his ability to mask his Aura had developed issues?
Gong Hangwen's expression shifted slightly, then as he looked at Chen Yan, a smile surfaced on his face once more:
"To be able to detect my arrival, not bad."
Chen Yan sat down opposite Gong Hangwen; his expression was calm, but he was vigilant in his heart.
Fortunately, he closed the door to the Cultivation Room every time he left it.
Otherwise, Gong Hangwen would discover those two eyes of the Green-Eyed Ancient Divine Beast, and then discover who had truly brought down the Chu Family.
It was precisely the Chen Yan sitting across from him.
"Ahem."
Gong Hangwen gave a dry cough, though he felt a trace of dissatisfaction in his heart.
When this Chen Yan looked at him, there was no respect in his eyes, and he even seemed somewhat displeased because of his sudden visit.
"Chen Yan, there were indeed some misunderstandings between you and my Gong Family before, but your conflict with the Chu Family should not be transferred onto the Gong Family."
Chen Yan's expression was calm as he smiled:
"Not at all, I certainly wouldn't overthink it."
Yet, a Cold Intent surfaced in his heart; Gong Hangwen definitely did not know about the Wang Yang affair.
He definitely did not know that he, Chen Yan, had almost spent a long time in the dungeon of Qingshan Town because of Gong Qing of the Gong Family.
After all, even if the other party wanted to recruit him.
They would have had to send Chu Xuansheng to test him first.
If Chu Xuansheng had defeated him, Gong Hangwen would likely have let out a low hum of 'Waste' before leaving.
Chen Yan thought to himself, the Cold Intent in his heart growing more intense, while the smile at the corners of his mouth became increasingly clear.
Gong Hangwen nodded with satisfaction, sizing Chen Yan up inadvertently, and spoke:
"You joined the Military Guard... the New Dragon Guard?"
"Yes." Chen Yan nodded; this point certainly could not be hidden.
"How about quitting?" Gong Hangwen smiled:
"Shen Yiwei is struggling alone in Yunmeng City; the chances of you becoming powerful under him are very slim.
You are a genius; you shouldn't be buried like this."
Chen Yan lowered his head slightly, pondering in his heart.
If Shen Yiwei were truly struggling alone, why would this Gong Hangwen need to come here to see him in person?
Instead, the smile on Gong Hangwen's face grew more exuberant.
"Join my Gong Family, and I can give you an Earth Vein Grade Horizontal Refinement Breathing Method; as long as you perform well enough, I will even give you an Earth Vein Grade A Breathing Method!"
A sharp light appeared in Gong Hangwen's eyes as he lifted his chin slightly:
"If you want these things from Shen Yiwei, he won't give them to you; there are many geniuses under his command in the New Dragon Guard.
These geniuses can only get treasures from Shen Yiwei.
Shen Yiwei has some assets, but he is only one person; even if he pinches pennies, how much can there be when divided among every genius?"
Chen Yan was silent.
Gong Hangwen had the Gong Family behind him, but Shen Yiwei was just one person.
Gong Hangwen was quite right.
But Shen Yiwei had told him today that he would give him an Azure Dome Grade Horizontal Refinement Breathing Method and External Tempering Method.
"Think it over carefully, I am very sincere!" Gong Hangwen said:
"No one knows I came here today; as long as you agree, you will still be a New Dragon Guard genius, but in secret, you will be my, Gong Hangwen's, person."
Chen Yan narrowed his eyes, looking at Gong Hangwen at this moment:
"Is Gong Vice Chief asking me to be a Traitor?"
"Not a traitor; how can you be a traitor if you betray someone who is destined to die?" Gong Hangwen's eyes were bright and piercing.
Last time, this was exactly what he had said to Chu Xuanxian.
And Chu Xuanxian, after only a moment of struggle, had joined his side.
Silence.
Stillness.
Inside the living room, there was absolute quiet.
The two were speechless.
Gong Hangwen looked at Chen Yan indifferently; the other party was young, of humble origin, and possessed natural talent.
Therefore, in this Vortex of the Dao of Struggle, he was more like a drifting duckweed.
He reached out his hand, watching the other party become lost in his palm, and then completely submit.
This was power, this was strength, this was the charm of total control.
Quiet.
"Hahahaha..."
A clear, bright laugh rang out; though the bare-chested, handsome Youth was laughing, his Mu Jin grew colder and colder.
"You agree?" Gong Hangwen also laughed.
Chen Yan laughed, his pair of ebony-like Pupils looking at Gong Hangwen.
The other party was a big shot in Yunmeng City; if speaking of the past, a single Finger could have crushed him to death.
Originally, he had still wanted to pretend for a bit, slowly playing along with the other party.
Now, forget it.
"How unbenevolent and unrighteous, Gong Vice Chief." Chen Yan Stood Up, staring fixedly at Gong Hangwen.
Gong Hangwen's expression changed slightly:
"If you speak of benevolence and righteousness, in this Realm, there are too many people who have failed because of them!"
"So, this is the greatest difference between you and me."
Chen Yan's Smile faded:
"You had better leave."
Gong Hangwen's Smile faded, and his pair of Pupils turned cold:
"Are you rejecting me?"
He Stood Up, his Mu Guang sinking as he looked at Chen Yan:
"Or perhaps calling you an Undercover is too difficult for you; you can directly withdraw from the New Dragon Guard and join my Gong Family!"
Gong Hangwen still did not want to give up on Chen Yan; after all, having walked step by step to where he was, the resources Chen Yan had obtained were certainly not as many as Chu Xuansheng's.
To be able to crush Chu Xuansheng, one could only say the other party's aptitude was extremely strong.
Thinking of this, Gong Hangwen continued to speak:
"But if you are unwilling to be an Undercover, I can only give you an Earth Vein Grade B-Class..."
Chen Yan's Mu Guang was dim and deep, directly interrupting:
"Gong Vice Chief, you had better take your Earth Vein Grade and leave quickly."
"You...!" Gong Hangwen's expression turned cold.
"I said..."
Chen Yan spoke indifferently; the other party was one of the Strong Ones.
But what did he fear?
If he feared them, would he be worthy of the Po Saint Tree?
Would he be worthy of Luo Puxin?
Would he be worthy of... his own Po Xian Heart?
"See the guest out!"
Rumble!!!
A terrifying pressure erupted instantly.
Anger grew even more intense in Gong Hangwen's eyes, his hair moving without wind, and waves of space rippled within the living room.
Rumble!
Rumble!
The sword emerged like a thunderous roar!
Outside the house, a brilliant sword light pierced the clouds, surging into the Qiong Tian.
One sword transformed into ten thousand swords, manifesting infinite Sword Intent.
"Gong Hangwen!"
A low male voice broke the vast night.
"You are courting death!"
The layers of Moon-covering clouds were shattered by this voice, turning into circles of White Mist that gathered above the night sky.
Luoshan County.
In the True Martial Class, within the streets, in the countryside, and inside the villages.
Figures rushed out of their houses, looking in confusion at that sword light piercing the night sky.
Shock, confusion, astonishment!
Again?
This sword light again?
He is... Shen Yiwei!
Inside the living room, Gong Hangwen's Mu Guang trembled; he moved his gaze away from Chen Yan's face and pushed open the door to look at that sword light.
His expression changed drastically.
Why would Shen Yiwei rush over?
The other party was busy like a dog every day at the Martial Officer department; where would he find the time to worry about a genius?
Did the other party plant eyes near his own Jia Li?
"Shen Yiwei, a countryside genius, you really treat him like a treasure!"
Rumble!
Gong Hangwen's whole body surged, turning into a Golden Light that shot into the sky.
Rumble!
A sword light pierced the Golden Light, shattering it into Ten Thousand Jinmao Datu.
High in the sky, the exhausted, thin, tall man had no sword in his hand, yet as he tapped the void with his Finger, layers upon layers of sword light intertwined, causing the void to tremble.
"You want to kill me!"
Gong Hangwen roared, appearing in the void a thousand meters away from Shen Yiwei, clutching his heart with one hand, blood flowing from beneath his hand.
"Was it not you who wanted to kill just now?"
Shen Yiwei spoke indifferently, pointing a single finger again; the space rippled like still water, and a drop of sword light pierced out.
"Shen Yiwei!"
Gong Hangwen bellowed, spreading his arms, and a Golden Light Array Disk engraved with solemn secret scripts appeared before him.
"When did I ever want to kill anyone!?"
Boom!
This drop of sword light pierced through the array disk and instantly stabbed toward Gong Hangwen.
Gong Hangwen's pupils shrank; this was the Dripping Sword Intent!
This was Shen Yiwei's Dripping Sword Intent!
"Ha!"
He swallowed golden light in large gulps, and rays of array light bombarded this drop of sword intent.
Boom!
The space trembled.
Gong Hangwen's clothes shattered, and he was in an extremely wretched state.
Shen Yiwei narrowed his eyes and pointed a single finger again.
"Enough!"
An aged voice rang out; on a country road in the distance, a white-haired Elder stepped out of a sedan, looking coldly into the distance.
"Shen Yiwei, is my son so easy to kill?" the Elder said indifferently.
His voice traversed the void; outsiders could not hear it, yet it rang out right beside Shen Yiwei's ear.
"Old Master Gong."
Shen Yiwei withdrew his hand, his expression calm as he said:
"Do you intend to fight me on behalf of Gong Hangwen?"
"Lawless!" the White-Haired Elder barked:
"Your Master has yet to appear; if you keep causing trouble, can you clean up the mess?"
"If my Master were to appear, would it be your turn to be so presumptuous in front of me?"
Shen Yiwei narrowed his eyes, though the sword light all over his body seemed to dissipate.
"Hmph!"
The White-Haired Elder gave a low huff:
"Do you still not understand? Him not coming out is the situation the Xia Imperial Clan and the Lu Clan can best accept.
If he comes out, no one can bear it!"
Shen Yiwei's pupils grew increasingly cold.
Gong Hangwen clutched his heart, staring fixedly at Shen Yiwei, suppressing the trace of Scream in his eyes.
It had been a long time since he had seen Shen Yiwei make a move; in this battle, had the other party truly unleashed their full strength?
Thinking this to himself, Gong Hangwen flew away instantly and dove into the sedan where the Elder was.
The Elder sighed softly and returned to the car:
"What on earth happened?!"
The image of Chen Yan appeared in Gong Hangwen's brain, and with a sinister expression, he recounted what had just occurred.
"Fool!"
The Elder barked:
"You created one Chu Xuanxian; do you hope for everyone else to be a Chu Xuanxian?"
"I didn't expect Shen Yiwei to come!"
Gong Hangwen said gloomily.
"After we go back, investigate the people of my Gong Family; there must be Shen Yiwei's eyes among them.
A few days ago, Xin Ling died, and we didn't even find the Corpse; I suspect it was Shen Yiwei's doing."
"Xin Ling is dead?!" Gong Hangwen's expression stiffened.
"It has to do with the Tianbei Fist Tournament, but as for the Tianbei Fist Tournament side..." the Old Master shook his head slowly and changed the subject:
"I think your brain is muddled; you are not lacking in geniuses under your command right now.
Why bother to recruit a newly emerged genius?"
Gong Hangwen's expression was ugly:
"I was muddled; as for the Chu Family matter..."
"Treat the capital you currently have well; the Tianjiao Trial for all cities in Qinzhou is about to begin.
The Alliance of families does not allow us to lose."
Gong Hangwen was in Silence:
"What about Lao City?"
"Lao City is where the real big move is." The Elder exclaimed:
"It is the Method of the Chen Family in Lao City; they have placed an Ice-Attribute beast about to undergo Dragon Transformation into the Trial Ground, which will produce Azure Dome Grade Ice-Attribute Medicinal Herbs."
"Prepared for Chen Min?"
"Mm." The Elder sighed softly:
"Thinking of it in this Manner, it is actually a good thing that Fan Ling did not succeed in the Limit-Breaking Awakening."
