Chapter 215: Shen Yiwei
Chen Xiyuan walked out of the room, appeared in the Corridor, looked at this vast Lao City Chen Family, stepped into the air, and arrived high above to look down.
Below, inside a room.
An Elder tremblingly held a pitch-black Medicine in his hand, tears and mucus alternating:
"Chen Zhangyuan, Chen Zhangyuan, you must slaughter that Yunmeng Side Branch!!!"
The Elder gritted his Teeth, an incomparably dense killing intent erupting in his eyes, Tears sliding down his wrinkled old face, and in the next instant, he swallowed that pitch-black Medicine in one Mouth.
Rumble!
A terrifying sound like ten thousand Thunder roaring echoed within the Elder's body; the Elder's face suddenly became ferocious, and immediately after, blood flowed from his seven orifices as he collapsed onto the sofa.
Opposite him, Lao City Invincible Son Chen Zhangyuan bowed slightly to the Elder's Corpse, and two Youths carrying a stretcher hurriedly walked in through the open door to take the Elder's Corpse away.
"The ninety-seventh one."
Chen Zhangyuan murmured, his dark blue sleeves hanging down, but his Gaze pierced through the ceiling of the house to meet Chen Xiyuan's eyes.
"I, Lao Chen, have followed Executor Hu's instructions and have already slaughtered ninety-seven people of the Origin Realm within the clan."
His voice was flat, and one could not even hear a trace of sadness.
Chen Xiyuan landed inside the room, smelled the stench that dissipated when the Elder died, and raised her hand to cover her Nose:
"Chen Zhangyuan, it is already the Main Family's benevolence that you were not ordered to slaughter those above the Origin Realm."
Chen Xiyuan continued:
"Also, after this matter passes, you are not to cause trouble for that Side Branch in Yunmeng City again."
Chen Zhangyuan pursed his lips tightly, a trace of irrepressible mania and killing intent flashing in the depths of his eyes:
"I only fear that the Five-Stage General Star still harbors resentment toward me, Lao Chen."
"You blocked his path to strength and severed his future; it would be strange if he did not hate you," Chen Xiyuan said calmly:
"Once you have killed enough, one hundred of the Origin Realm, I will go to Yunmeng City to find him."
The moment her voice fell, the coldness in Chen Zhangyuan's eyes could no longer be suppressed:
"You want to cultivate him?!"
"Yes, he has the qualifications to be cultivated."
Chen Zhangyuan narrowed his eyes: "I will report this matter to the Second Elder."
Chen Xiyuan's expression also turned cold, and she turned to leave:
"Go ahead."
How could she not see that Chen Zhangyuan was threatening her?
Nowadays, Lao Chen and Chen Yan are already mortal enemies; even if Lao Chen is not allowed to take action against Chen Yan, they absolutely cannot sit by and watch Chen Yan grow stronger.
Originally, Chen Yan becoming a Daxia General Star was all well and good.
If it continued to develop, Chen Yan would become an enemy of the Five Clans, and then Chen Zhangyuan could take the opportunity to eliminate Chen Yan.
But her intervention completely ruined Chen Zhangyuan's layout.
Chen Xiyuan left the room, a hint of playfulness appearing in her eyes:
"They are all just dogs of the Five Clans, after all."
She is good at investing—investing in herself, investing in others.
In the end, investing in others is also to reap benefits for herself.
Investing in Chen Yan will inevitably offend Chen Zhangyuan, but the problem is that Chen Zhangyuan is Invincible at the Same Realm and will not be driven by her no matter what.
But Chen Yan is different; Chen Yan was able to defeat He Youtong four months after entering the Dao, and if cultivated, he might become a formidable enemy for Chen Zhangyuan.
With Chen Yan's assistance, her voice within the clan would also be greatly enhanced.
"Chen Yan..."
Chen Xiyuan murmured:
"The Xia Clan has almost let go of its control over Qinzhou; with Lu Xunyang gone, Shen Yiwei is finding every step difficult.
If Chen Yan follows behind Shen Yiwei, there will be no better outcome.
If I offer an olive branch, he will surely be grateful to me."
A Smile appeared on the corners of her mouth.
"This was originally an excellent matter, but it was messed up by He Youtong; after handling the Lao Chen affair, I must go see Chen Yan in person."
Inside the room.
An Elder wearing White Clothes walked to Chen Zhangyuan's side and spoke with narrowed eyes:
"This Chen Xiyuan has broken the rules."
A trace of killing intent hid in Chen Zhangyuan's eyes.
The Elder said again:
"Since she is forcing us like this, we might as well go directly to Yunmeng City and slaughter that Chen Yan.
Even if we pay a higher price, we will completely end this disaster."
Chen Zhangyuan narrowed his eyes, but quickly shook his head:
"It is not worth it.
By the way, is there any news about that person from the Limit-Breaking Dispute?"
The Elder was Stun, and shook his head:
"After the Tianjiao Trial ended, that Princess left, and Young Master Chen Min refuses to reveal even half a word of information regarding the Limit-Breaking Dispute.
As for that Yu Saixian whose identity was exposed long ago, he has already gone missing, and the Yunmeng City Chief who betrayed him also disappeared after the Tianjiao Trial began.
Who the winner of the Limit-Breaking Dispute actually is, is truly unclear."
The Elder let out a Sigh.
A perfectly good competition for breaking limits, yet in the end, he, Chen Yan, had become the biggest joke.
What was even more puzzling was the change in Chen Min.
Nowadays, that person who defeated Chen Min was likely already Chen Min's Xinjia.
Chen Zhangyuan was extremely disappointed in Chen Min, but he was unwilling to watch Chen Min truly become a Waste.
Nowadays, killing that person and removing Chen Min's Xinjia was a more important matter than dealing with that Side Branch in Yunmeng City.
"You wicked beast!" Chen Zhangyuan shouted in a low voice.
…………
Boom, boom, boom!
Accompanied by a huge roaring sound, layers of golden mist exploded within the massive Cultivation Room.
Chen Yan's body was sent flying by a palm strike from Shen Yiwei, then it slammed heavily against the wall of the Cultivation Room and slowly slid down.
He shook his Brain; was this the extent of Shen Yiwei's power?
It was so powerful that Chen Yan could not even see how much of Shen Yiwei's strength was being used, or what his Cultivation Realm was.
Or was it that he hadn't used any effort at all?
Chen Yan stood up, his muscles bulging continuously at this moment, and an increasingly terrifying aura erupted from within his body.
"Chen Yan……"
Opposite him, Shen Yiwei, wearing a loose Martial Dao uniform, felt a trace of surprise appear in his Pupil:
"With this strength of yours, even an average Origin Realm expert would not be your match."
Facing Chen Yan's combat power directly, Shen Yiwei finally truly understood the excellence of Chen Yan's talent.
"Vice Chief Shen, I have one more technique I would like you to evaluate."
Chen Yan spoke.
"Then make your move," Shen Yiwei said with a Smile, clearly having developed a bit of interest.
The next instant.
Boom!
Shen Yiwei's expression changed instantly as he felt a tidal wave of pressure coming to Swallow him.
Yet, Chen Yan, who was amidst the Golden Wind, suddenly reached out a hand, and wisps of Golden Gale Wind rose from his body, condensing simultaneously in his hand, on his Chest, and behind his back.
Immediately following, five light orbs wrapped in pitch-black Grain Mark appeared beside Chen Yan, moving in a cycle according to a set trajectory.
It was just like five planets orbiting a star.
And Chen Yan was that central, most powerful, and magnificent Great Sun!
"This is the Absolute Technique you created!?" Shen Yiwei's Pupil suddenly constricted.
The 【Breaking Void】 that Chen Yan had created back then was an Earth Vein Grade C-tier Absolute Technique.
But at this moment……
It clearly was not that.
He had created five at once?
This……
"I'm coming."
Chen Yan's voice rang out abruptly, and then his entire person charged directly toward Shen Yiwei.
Shen Yiwei's Mu Jin finally began to change, and he unleashed his Sword Intent.
Drip!
A single drop of water suddenly appeared between Chen Yan and Shen Yiwei.
A sense of piercing intent struck instantly, and Chen Yan felt his own strength and Flesh appear fragile and weak in the face of this piercing intent.
"Not bad, it actually made me use……"
Shen Yiwei exclaimed in admiration, but in the very instant before he could finish speaking.
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
The five light orbs hovering beside Chen Yan suddenly attacked Shen Yiwei in unison.
Shen Yiwei's Pupil widened instantly; the moment these five light orbs attacked, his five senses were distorted by the Wrathful power contained within them, and the suddenness of the killing intent was suffocating.
Immediately following.
Boom, boom, boom…………
A series of explosions resounded throughout the four-hundred-square-meter Cultivation Room.
The entire Cultivation Room was completely occupied by endless waves of golden fire.
Five major explosions, and countless minor ones!
Chen Yan himself was forced into a corner by the terrifying shockwave of the explosion, and a trace of a Smile appeared at the corner of his Mouth.
Not bad.
This Horizontal Refinement Absolute Technique he had created over the past few days was not bad.
After a while.
The explosion finally slowly died down.
Shen Yiwei stood in place, looking somewhat Stun; his hair was visibly singed, and his clothes were tattered in several places.
Chen Yan sighed inwardly; Shen Yiwei's strength was unfathomable.
But at this moment, it was clearly Shen Yiwei who was even more shocked.
"What is this?"
Shen Yiwei's astonished voice rang out.
"Void-Breaker—Saint-Explosion.
A name I chose."
Chen Yan spoke.
Shen Yiwei nodded somewhat sluggishly; he looked at Chen Yan as if looking at a monster:
"You just made me, execute..."
He stopped mid-sentence, then spoke again:
"How do you cultivate?"
As soon as he said it, he felt it was inappropriate:
"Have you unified your Horizontal Refinement path?"
"No, that's not it."
"This ultimate move of yours..."
He said many things in succession, to the point where even he himself was not quite clear on what he wanted to say.
Chen Yan, however, spoke up:
"Not unified, but 【Heavenly Patrol】 has reached the micro-level.
This ultimate move, I think it should be Azure Dome Grade."
Silence...
Silence.
After a while, Shen Yiwei gradually calmed his emotions; he looked at Chen Yan and said calmly:
"Not bad."
Chen Yan nodded with a faint smile:
"How does my strength compare to the Gong Family?"
"Why do you ask that?" Shen Yiwei exclaimed in surprise, but continued anyway:
"Your strength completely crushes Gong Hangwen, but compared to the Gong Family Head, Gong Wu, you might still be a sliver short."
Chen Yan frowned:
"Is Gong Wu in the Fazhen Realm?"
Shen Yiwei was speechless to the extreme:
"You are only at the Second Rank, why would you think you can definitely handle the Origin Realm?"
Is the Origin Realm trash in your eyes?
Shen Yiwei explained:
"Gong Wu is different; he cultivates the Horizontal Refinement path, has extremely many methods, and is also proficient in some Secret Techniques.
It is only natural that the Gong Family, having absorbed so many resources over these many years, would cultivate a relatively strong Origin Realm expert."
Chen Yan nodded:
"Then, what are my chances of winning against Gong Wu?"
Shen Yiwei pondered:
"About seventy percent."
He was somewhat amused and frustrated; Chen Yan was actually already thinking about an opponent of Gong Wu's level.
It was just that he was still a sliver short.
He felt some Xi Shu.
Everyone knows the Gong Family deserves to die, but the Qinzhou Town Martial Guard doesn't know, the Alliance doesn't know, and the Xia Imperial Clan doesn't seem to know either.
However, while Shen Yiwei was still feeling melancholy, a Smile appeared on the corner of Chen Yan's mouth:
"Continue?"
Shen Yiwei nodded:
"Alright, your talent in the Horizontal Refinement path is truly not bad."
As he spoke, he suddenly realized that Chen Yan also seemed quite good in the SoulRefining path.
The victor of the limit-breaking struggle was right before his eyes.
Just as he was about to say something, Shen Yiwei's expression changed slightly; having sensed something, he spoke quite apologetically:
"It seems something has come up."
He turned to leave after saying this, then suddenly turned back:
"Don't worry about the Gong Family's affairs; your progress is very rapid, but you are still a sliver short.
I appreciate your intentions."
He showed a look of gratification, then left.
Leaving Chen Yan alone in the Cultivation Room.
Chen Yan sighed lightly; he had also only just learned that Shen Yiwei was being transferred to the Wilderness Market.
After the other party had spent all these years laying out plans in Yunmeng City, now that an Appointment Letter had come down, it was all for nothing.
The New Dragon Guard he had cultivated could be taken to the Wilderness Market, but the layout of the Military Martial Guard was completely gone.
The Xia Clan's control over Qinzhou seemed very loose.
Even Xia Chiyi and the person who issued the General Star Medal had both come down from Jinzhou.
"Am I still a sliver short for the Gong Family's affairs?"
Chen Yan murmured, clenching his palms.
"But I don't think I am anymore."
In terms of his current strength, his Horizontal Refinement is not actually his strongest.
Possessing Qingqiong Grade A Min Zhe Qi Xue and a SoulRefining path that is about to ascend to the Golden Body Realm, his strength is actually three or four times greater than his current Horizontal Refinement path.
Plus, the Qingqiong Grade D Protective Pattern.
Third-Grade Spear Intent.
And the most important thing... the Yan Realm, which can increase combat power by three times.
The combat power Chen Yan can unleash relying solely on his SoulRefining path is terrifying to the extreme.
"There is one more thing..."
Chen Yan whispered, and White Light suddenly appeared at the corners of his eyes.
He stretched out his right hand, and an Ice Dragon coiled in his palm, hissing, its might terrifying.
"If Lao Shen had stayed a while longer, I could have seen just how powerful this SoulRefining ultimate move of mine really is."
…………
"Shen Yiwei, what are you doing?" Inside the Office, Xia Chiyi's expression was cold:
"Lu Xiliang of Yixian City has already notified me that you have transferred all the New Dragon Guard under your command to his side."
Shen Yiwei sat calmly on his chair and glanced at Xia Chiyi:
"Since your Xia Clan doesn't even care about the Qinzhou Town Martial Guard, why bother with me, a member of the New Dragon Guard?"
Xia Chiyi bit her red lips:
"You have no intention of going to the Wilderness Market at all; you are leaving the Town Martial Guard?"
Shen Yiwei did not refute this, which made Xia Chiyi's expression even worse:
"What exactly are you trying to do?"
Shen Yiwei's expression remained as calm as an ancient well, yet at this moment, he sighed faintly:
"Do you know how much evidence of the Gong Family's crimes I have found over these many years? Yet every time I reported it, it was like a stone sinking into the sea.
I didn't expect that even a small Gong Family in Yunmeng City would be like this.
If so, is there any hope left for Great Xia?"
Xia Chiyi's body stiffened slightly:
"You want to make a move against the Gong Family, but once you do, you won't be able to stay in the Town Martial Guard."
Shen Yiwei did not answer.
Sweat gradually began to bead on Xia Chiyi's forehead:
"Shen Yiwei, you..."
She thought of something, and her pupils suddenly shrank:
"You are going to the Ancient God Forbidden Land..."
By the time she finished speaking, her voice was trembling:
"Don't go to your death, okay?"
Yet, the man whose expression had always been filled with Fatigue Stood Up at this moment:
"It has been over five years since Master left, and I have finally seen Great Xia clearly."
He looked out the window:
"Here, whether things are reasonable or not does not matter. No matter how filthy the human heart is, as long as one's own strength is sufficient, this filth will be beautified into the best of things.
I have finally understood..."
A Smile appeared on his face, surprisingly open-minded:
"Dealing with Beasts, trying to blend in with the dust or being hypocritical is just lying to oneself.
It is better to cut off their heads; Skinning and pulling out their tendons is the only Wang Dao."
He laughed out loud.
Inside his body, a certain sealed Cultivation Realm suddenly loosened at this moment.
A murderous intent that soared straight into the clouds rose proudly.
Inside the Cultivation Room.
Chen Yan, whose entire body was covered in Ice Seal, suddenly froze, seeing a familiar figure on the Martial Dao Mieshao.
That Shen Yiwei, who had appeared on the Martial Dao Mieshao for the first time, was now making that Martial Dao Mieshao bloom with a brilliance never seen before.
"So, in the past, when my heart and intent could not reach through, he had not given birth to a single shred of will."
