Chapter 158: Wind and Clouds Shift, the Name of Chen Yan
"I have always had a question," Luo Puxin said in a low voice:
"Luo Chen shouldn't be unable to find an Azure Dome Grade ice-attribute Spiritual Object; why must they value this Ice Bi that is about to undergo Dragon Transformation?"
An Ice Bi undergoing Dragon Transformation would indeed produce an Azure Dome Grade Ice Spirit.
But compared to an Ice Spirit, isn't an Ice Bi about to undergo Dragon Transformation an even greater treasure?
The group fell into silence.
Someone spoke up:
"Lao Luo, don't talk nonsense. Does the Chen Family have the guts for that?"
This Ice Bi was only rented from the Qinzhou Town Martial Guard Headquarters; if Luo Chen dared to make a move on the Ice Bi, wouldn't that be a bit too reckless?
Luo Puxin narrowed his eyes and gave a cold snort: "If Luo Chen truly dared, then it would be impossible for me not to intervene."
The group was stunned; Luo Puxin was taking this Tianjiao Trial a bit too seriously.
"Speaking of which, Lao Luo, you had better advance to the Origin Realm first; it's been how many years now."
Someone teased.
"Soon," Luo Puxin laughed loudly.
"I don't even know how many times I've heard you say 'soon'."
"This time it's really soon," Luo Puxin laughed, then suddenly asked:
"By the way, has there been any big news from Yunmeng City lately?"
The group looked at each other; who cared about Yunmeng City?
"There is, there actually is one," someone spoke up:
"Ge Zhangyou seems to have hit a snag; I heard the Xia Imperial Clan is going to send people to investigate."
Luo Puxin was stunned: "There's such a good thing?"
The next moment, Luo Puxin pursed his lips:
"What does this have to do with Yunmeng City?"
"It has everything to do with Yunmeng City," the Guangtou Nanren said:
"I heard a military genius went on a killing spree inside a major family in Yunmeng City, holy crap.
He killed at least a hundred people.
He's a mammoth."
As the Guangtou Nanren spoke, the expressions of the group shifted slightly, and they became interested.
Going to someone's home to kill, and killing over a hundred people at that.
A military genius?
A mammoth.
"Keep talking," someone urged: "Was that genius a relative of Ge Zhangyou?"
"No," the Guangtou Nanren shook his head:
"It was Ge Zhangyou who went to mediate, trying in every way to stop that genius from continuing to kill.
In the end, the genius kept killing anyway, and Ge Zhangyou got angry and wanted to suppress that genius, but then Xia Chiyi appeared and suppressed Ge Zhangyou instead."
The group was stunned.
Why did Xia Chiyi appear in Yunmeng City?
Probably because of Shen Yiwei.
"That military genius, it seems he is from the Xia Clan, otherwise, after killing so many people, it would be Ge Zhangyou who ended up in trouble," someone speculated.
"No," the Guangtou Nanren shook his head:
"That genius didn't seem to do anything wrong; it was the people of that family who kept plotting against him in the dark, and he couldn't bear it anymore, so he went to kill them."
The group exclaimed in wonder.
Quite a few people felt a sense of favor toward that genius.
Others plot against him, and he goes to their home to go on a killing spree—this is what a military person should do.
"He's a mammoth," Luo Puxin also sighed with emotion.
What this person did was even more straightforward and sharper than when he himself killed Chu Cang in broad daylight.
Impressive!
"Who is that genius, is his surname Shen?" someone asked.
"No, it seems his name is..." the Guangtou Nanren pondered:
"It's Chen Yan; the name sounds quite refined, but the way he does things is truly overbearing."
The group took note of this name.
However, several of the Strong Ones who were on good terms with Luo Puxin all looked at Luo Puxin in a daze.
During this period, Luo Puxin had mentioned this name to them quite a few times.
Yet they saw that Luo Puxin, who had just been watching the excitement, suddenly stiffened.
After a long while, he finally came back to his senses.
"Holy crap!"
…………
Northern Qinzhou, Huangshi.
The ice stretched for ten thousand miles, boundless.
The cold peaks were snow-capped, looking like they were piled with white jade, wrapped in silver, radiating a bone-chilling cold.
On an ice plain, the Woman in the White Skirt with Silver Eyes slowly opened her eyes; this one glance spanned a hundred miles.
Suddenly, a low, deep rumbling sound echoed from high in the sky.
A Flying Warship poked its head out from above the Yun Tian.
An Old Woman wearing golden robes walked out from within the Warship, arrived before the Yinmou Nuzi, and slowly bowed:
"Princess."
The Yinmou Nuzi Stood Up:
"It is too formal; Xu Granny, do not call me Princess anymore."
The Old Woman gave a gentle Laughter, yet spoke with hesitation:
"Princess, are you really going to Lao City?"
"Mm." The Yinmou Nuzi nodded faintly, a touch of coldness appearing in her Gaze:
"As long as that Chen Min does not reach the Hundred Meridians, he will force us not to ascend.
He may be very confident that he can absorb me.
But I also have the confidence to make him thoroughly regret it."
A trace of coldness appeared in the Yinmou Nuzi's Gaze.
Demanding the Ice Bi from the Xia Imperial Clan—this was the worst decision the Lao City Chen Family had ever made.
A trace of unbearable pity appeared in the Old Woman's Gaze:
"Princess, besides you, there are two others who are also Limit-Breaking Awakener, perhaps they will also go to deal with Chen Min."
The Yinmou Nuzi shook her head:
"Relying on others is not as good as relying on oneself; a Broken Limit Awakener must have a fearless heart."
The Woman leaped lightly, then landed inside the Warship:
"Xu Granny, have there been any newly appearing Heavenly Pride in Qinzhou recently?"
As she spoke, she thought of that Newcomer who had appeared two months ago.
"Yes, this month there are several geniuses who have been awarded the title of General Star, and the data is all inside the tablet."
The Woman nodded, sat in her seat, and casually tapped open the tablet.
Her Gaze quickly swept over face after face.
"Shao Hengyang, Chen Yan..."
The Woman murmured, and clicked on the two people's deeds.
Afterward, she became surprised:
"Sister Chi Yi being able to stand up for him, I fear this Chen Yan is not just a Seven-Tier General Star."
"Perhaps, it is simply related to that person." The Old Woman blinked.
Shen Yiwei.
Shen Yiwei likely would not appreciate the favor.
The Yinmou Nuzi nodded and began to flip through Chen Yan's historical data again.
…………
"Have you heard? That kid Chen Yan..."
"It has already spread everywhere."
"Yeah, it's too ruthless; I really didn't expect this kid... Chen Yan to be so overbearing."
"Going to someone's home to kill people; I never saw Chen Yuhu act like that before... Hey, Old Chen is here, sit, sit, sit!"
Qingshan Town.
On the street, there was whispering.
Chen Yuhu was pulled over by people in the Mahjong Hall to chat, looking completely confused.
"What is this about?"
Chen Yuhu clearly felt that people's attitudes toward him had changed today.
Before, it was always looks of envy, but today it was genuine fear.
"Your Chen Yan is truly amazing, he knows so many big shots!"
Someone spoke with a shocked expression, and began telling Chen Yuhu about the matter that had spread over the past two days.
A long while later.
Chen Yuhu finally understood the cause and effect, and sat blankly on the stool.
"God of Slaughter, an absolute God of Slaughter!"
Someone spoke while baring their teeth, a lingering fear still in their eyes.
"Really? My Son... is very well-behaved..."
Chen Yuhu spoke, somewhat disbelieving.
"It's true, it's spread everywhere," someone said.
Chen Yuhu's expression turned somber, then he Stood Up and left with his head lowered.
In the Mahjong Hall, everyone went quiet.
"I... I didn't make Old Chen angry just now, did I?" someone asked sheepishly.
The Chen Family produced a God of Slaughter; who wouldn't be afraid?
Before, everyone was respectful, but now it was genuine awe.
That Chen Yan went into a big family to kill people, and in the end, nothing happened to him at all.
Instead, it seemed the big family suffered a huge loss.
Who would have thought Chen Yan had such great power?
On the street, figures hurried by.
Chen Yuhu walked past with his head lowered, heading straight toward the edge of the fields.
By evening, Chen Yuhu was squatting at a Grave, burning paper.
"Mother of our child, Xiaoyan has grown up; he has killed someone."
Chen Yuhu smoked a Cigarette while burning the paper.
He let out a bitter Smile.
"You tell me, my Son is such an obedient person, how could he go and kill someone?"
Chen Yuhu lowered his head:
"How could I not know what my Son is like? He must have been forced into it."
"This goddamn world."
"I cannot lose face; if he killed, he killed. My Son killing someone just means he killed someone who deserved to die.
The officials from the Town Martial Officer are also helping my Son; our Chen Family has prestige."
Chen Yuhu pulled out a rag and wiped the tombstone:
"It's just hard on you, Mother of our child; the good days have arrived, but you didn't get to see them."
The paper money burned, turning into grains of ash, scattering in the Yellow twilight.
At the edge of the fields, someone shouted:
"Old Chen, the station chief is looking for you; your family is to be relocated, the new house is in Yunmeng City.
The good days have arrived!"
Many people Appeared at the edge of the fields, looking toward Chen Yuhu's side, full of envy.
Chen Yuhu wiped his tears and laughed:
"Mother of our child, look at how promising our Son is!"
"As his father, I must hold my head high to face the world."
As he spoke, he burned the last piece of paper money, lifted his head, and his face was full of Smile.

PS: Writing something else to ease the plot.
What follows is the major plot, the story of the fusion of the Limit-Breaking Struggle and the Tianjiao Trial, as well as the revelation of the truth about the essence of the Realm.
There will be some exciting (serious) types of plot; I still prefer writing side quests.
Regarding the writer's block, I want to apologize to everyone; the author's plot is generally very long, so it is inevitable that it cannot be finished in one day, which leads to writer's block.
If it's the kind of plot where things are finished in an instant, those will exist too.
But I still think that passionate battles and instantaneous emotional outbursts should be combined.
If the plot is fast and satisfying in the early stages, it is too difficult to stabilize in the middle and late stages.
So I predicted that this book would be very poor in the early stages, and predicted that it would be better at Thirty Thousand words.
But I didn't predict that my own state of mind would be this poor.
The author thought for a long time and decided to manage himself well, keep evolving, and write with a better state.
I will strive to make it better and more enjoyable the further it gets into the later stages.
I also apologize to everyone for the parts of this book that weren't done well; many readers might use harsh words, but they are also raising their own doubts and questions.
Dongzi records them every day and then thinks about how to improve.
Finally.
Thank you to the big shots for the tips and the big shots for keeping up with the updates, really.
Some Lao Ge send me gifts every day; they are more persistent than I am.
I fucking thank you all.
Truly thankful.
Thank you.
