Chapter 404: Where did you buy it? Remember to leave a bad review later

~12 min read 2,363 words

Wushi City.

Inside a dim room, only the blood-colored array on the floor continued to exude a scarlet light.

Chen Changyuan cut the communication, his expression extremely ugly.

He took a deep breath, a terrifying cold light emerging in his eyes:

"The Path of Will!

Two hundred and twenty-four Extreme Satin Patterns!"

His voice carried a bone-chilling coldness.

Previously, Luo Dongli had already told him everything regarding Chen Yan.

Chen Changyuan had not expected that the Yunmeng branch family, which had been sealed off by the Chen family for several generations, would actually produce such an existence.

Chen Yan, who slew Li Hou, drew the attention of the Chen family main branch, was conferred the title of Third-Rank General Star, and even became the top scorer in the college entrance examination.

Now, he had even accomplished things that even Chen Changyuan found hard to believe.

"How is that possible?!"

Chen Changyuan let out a low shout:

"Is there something profound about Chen Yan himself, or is that Path of Will possessed of powerful mysteries?!"

His voice echoed throughout the room, and the next moment, he looked coldly at a masked figure standing in the corner:

"That day, I was about to enter this Path of Will, but it was you who stopped me!"

Intense killing intent emerged in Chen Changyuan's eyes.

He had long suspected it, and at one point, he had even had a strong feeling.

At that time, he could also have entered the Path of Will.

In the corner, the masked person in black robes spoke in a low voice:

"This Martial Path of Will is not to my liking."

Killing intent erupted in Chen Changyuan's eyes as he pointed at the person.

An indescribable rage was almost about to explode, but the next moment, he held it back.

…………

"The Path of Will?"

Within a bedroom on the highest level of the Family Alliance.

Lu Menghan, dressed in a white dress, nodded, her beautiful eyes looking at the white-clothed youth within the light screen in front of her.

This white-clothed youth was none other than the world's number one Fifth-Rank, Lu Fusang.

At this moment, Lu Fusang was clearly also shocked by these words from Lu Menghan.

Intense killing intent emerged in Lu Menghan's eyes, and she took a deep breath:

"Fusang, this Chen Yan is absolutely not an ordinary prodigy. He has already formed a blood feud with my Lu family, he..."

Lu Menghan spoke with difficulty:

"It is simply incredible."

She was stunned.

In the entire Xiaoyang City, there was no telling how many people were stunned.

Those in the Family Alliance were likely unable to sleep well tonight.

With such an enemy, who could sleep well?

Even now, with the phantom of the previous generation's ruler teaching the supreme martial art, the 【Phantom Slaughter Dragon-Culling Style】, Lu Menghan could not calm her heart at all.

Even she had to admit it.

The fear that Chen Yan brought her was too profound.

"Menghan, there is no need to worry about anything."

Inside the light screen, the youth named Lu Fusang smiled faintly.

"But, Fusang, he..."

There was still a trace of panic in Lu Menghan's eyes.

"I actually owe it to him," Lu Fusang laughed, extending one hand; ten thousand sword lights flickered within it, reflecting on his handsome face as they waxed and waned.

He said with full confidence:

"Thanks to this Chen Yan, otherwise I still wouldn't know what the name of this newly emerged martial path on my body is.

Immortal Body, a bit interesting. Could it be that as long as one cultivates the Martial Path of Will to a certain degree, one can awaken an Immortal Body?"

Lu Fusang said quietly, an aura of sweeping across the world overflowing from his eyes.

In an instant, the woman named Lu Menghan parted her red lips:

"Fusang, you...!"

Lu Fusang nodded:

"I had just entered Great Xia when I awakened this Martial Path of Will. It is very powerful. I feel that my combat strength in all aspects has improved, and there is also an inexplicable pressure. It is indeed very strong!"

Strange colors flickered in Lu Fusang's eyes:

"That Chen Yan said that a majestic person told him to make the Martial Path of Will public to the world. Could it be that the majestic person is my clan uncle, Lu Xunyang?"

As Lu Fusang spoke, his body trembled, and unhidden awe erupted in his eyes.

His guess was not wrong.

On one hand, the first Immortal Body in the world was Lu Xunyang.

As for the second, those who have now awakened the Martial Path of Will include Chen Yan, Shen Yiwei, and that Zhuang Ang.

These people are all from Qinzhou and all have lingering connections with Lu Xunyang.

Even for him, Lu Fusang, he was a member of the Lu Clan and shared a close blood relation with Lu Xunyang.

Lu Fusang sighed softly.

Every youth of the Lu Clan worshipped Lu Xunyang, yet every one of them also harbored hatred for Lu Xunyang.

This person was simply a miracle, having created glories that were far too formidable.

As Lu Fusang's voice fell, a look of intense adoration appeared in Lu Menghan's eyes for an instant, and she bowed to offer a salute:

"Congratulations, Young Master Fusang."

Lu Fusang nodded:

"There is no need to worry about that Chen Yan."

Lu Menghan nodded; Lu Fusang entering the Will Martial Dao made her feel much more at ease.

But Lu Menghan still said with some unease:

"But that Chen Yan is still a thorn in the side of our Lu Clan; we absolutely cannot allow him to grow."

"Although the Xia Clan will not protect him, once the Chen Clan sends people, it will be difficult for us to make a move."

Lu Fusang narrowed his eyes and then said:

"You track his location, and I will summon a wisp of my soul projection to find you; we shall kill him."

"Understood." Lu Menghan nodded:

"I am, after all, a genius on the Fifth Rank Ranking, and with a wisp of Brother Fusang's soul projection, killing him is simple."

A look of confidence appeared in Lu Menghan's eyes.

There were many, many martial artists in the world.

But those on the rankings were all the most powerful individuals at each realm.

The number one on the rankings was someone even more world-renowned.

For example.

Eighth Rank number one, Lu Xunyang.

Sixth Rank number one, Chen Changyuan.

And Fifth Rank number one, Lu Fusang.

Lu Xunyang and Chen Changyuan went without saying.

As for Lu Fusang, he was an even more terrifying genius raised by the Lu Clan through slaughter!

And she, Lu Menghan, although she had not entered the top one hundred of the Fifth Rank Ranking, still had the ability to kill across realms.

A murderous look appeared in Lu Menghan's eyes.

Now, perhaps, was the best time to kill Chen Yan.

"I will contact Dark Thorn again; he should not have died at the hands of Tan Yishi."

Lu Menghan spoke.

Her hands formed seals, and strands of white light condensed into characters, falling down from her body.

At this moment, a layer of white mist appeared in Lu Menghan's eyes.

The Art of Inquiry was a branch of the Array Dao.

It was divided into three types: past, present, and future.

Even the Eighth Rank could not accurately predict the past and future, and doing so would even invite heavenly punishment.

As for the present, the backlash received was smaller, but it would still be subject to various constraints.

According to Lu Menghan's strength, tracking Chen Yan's position would also result in backlash and even affect her own lifespan.

But this was Lu Fusang's order, and Lu Menghan would absolutely obey.

*Pfft! *

A mouthful of blood was spat out from Lu Menghan's mouth, and she collapsed directly onto the ground.

"Where is he?"

Lu Fusang asked.

"He is..." Lu Menghan's face turned deathly pale:

"Downstairs."

Lu Fusang's expression trembled.

Her aura was withered to the extreme; she did not know why determining Chen Yan's position was so difficult.

Fortunately, Chen Yan was right downstairs; otherwise, not only would she have determined nothing, but she would have also suffered a backlash herself.

Lu Menghan gritted her teeth.

Chen Yan had such great audacity to have secretly returned to Xiaoyang after fleeing openly, and even come inside the Aristocratic Family Alliance.

Inside the light screen, Lu Fusang's expression also changed slightly.

Downstairs.

Chen Yan put away the corpse of Luo Dongli, activated his concealment patterns, and left in an instant.

Killing Luo Dongli was a necessary task for Chen Yan.

This person was the Grand Manager of the Aristocratic Family Alliance and held absolute secrets.

Chen Yan's actions today had basically screwed the Aristocratic Family Alliance over.

But the Aristocratic Family Alliance would not be naive; knowing their underground factory location had been leaked, they would not fail to change it.

Chen Yan needed resources, and the Aristocratic Family Alliance's underground factory was a ready-made resource vault.

Sneaking along the way, Chen Yan put on a mask and entered the arena of the Tianbu Boxing Tournament.

"You..."

Old Chi looked at Chen Yan, sighed softly, and shook his head, leading Chen Yan to the exit.

"Old Chi, thank you for everything all this time!"

Chen Yan said with gratitude.

"No need for thanks." Old Chi chuckled, his eyes filled with emotion:

"It is all due to your own efforts."

Chen Yan's development had truly astonished him.

Chen Yan nodded and followed the passage of the Celestial Constellation Boxing Tournament toward the outside of Xiaoyang.

The Grand Minister told him.

After tomorrow, Lu Ming'an must head to Jin Province to attend the arranged marriage.

Seven days later, when Lu Ming'an is wed, it will be the day Chen Yan is appointed as a general, and also the day the Iron Province Legion marches toward Ji Province.

Chen Yan knew deeply that in troubled times, the only way to preserve oneself is to improve one's own strength.

The greater the reputation, the greater the danger.

But Chen Yan did not regret it; since he pioneered the Will Martial Dao, he had been waiting for this day to let the Will Martial Dao truly manifest in the world.

He hoped that in the future, there would be millions of Will Martial Dao practitioners.

And he, too, would truly solidify the title of Lord of Will.

He wanted to improve himself amidst danger.

Fortunately, he was not alone.

He continued to sneak along the passage of the Celestial Constellation Boxing Tournament.

Chen Yan appeared in the wilderness outside Xiaoyang.

"I... I'm here!"

San Jin's voice rang out, and she waved at Chen Yan from within a dense forest, looking quite pretty.

"San Jin..." Chen Yan was stunned:

"Why are you here?"

San Jin's eyes blinked, her face glowing with a pearly luster under the moonlight.

"I want... to help you."

San Jin spoke, her eyes still filled with excitement.

Chen Yan was speechless; you just want the thrill, don't you?

San Jin was a heaven-gifted prodigy who grew up in the Jin Province Prince's Mansion, having previously grown up amidst cold indifference.

Now, it was clear she found following Chen Yan incredibly thrilling and wanted to continue the adventure.

"San Jin." Chen Yan looked at San Jin.

"Here!" San Jin stood up straight.

Chen Yan pursed his lips:

"Following me is quite dangerous, your strength is not yet enough; your talent is outstanding, you can completely surpass me in a short time, I believe in you."

San Jin's eyes flickered, and the next moment, a trace of imperceptible disappointment welled up in them:

"Chen Yan, in the... College Entrance Exam Secret Realm, I... I'm sorry."

She spoke sincerely.

"Why say sorry? We are all our own people," Chen Yan said with a faint smile.

San Jin was stunned, then hurriedly nodded:

"Then I... will follow you."

…………

"Sigh."

Chen Yan sighed slightly; time truly waits for no one.

Perhaps it was the high expectations he placed on himself, or the high expectations others placed on him.

Chen Yan had not had a moment of leisure for a long time.

In his mind, the lecture from the previous generation's State Ruler was still flowing incessantly.

Chen Yan's will was powerful, even capable of splitting into several streams of thought in an instant to handle all sorts of matters.

Within the Saint-Breaking Realm, the golden light representing the energy of the 【Skill】 character surged continuously.

In a very short time, a 【Skill】 character fruit ripened.

He sat on the cliff, the bright moon in the distant sky still as luminous as ever.

He did not know how long it had been since he watched the white clouds in the sky, or how long it had been since he poured out his heart to the moon.

"Here... for you."

Beside him, San Jin took out a chicken leg and handed it to Chen Yan:

"I... I bought... it."

Chen Yan took it and looked at San Jin:

"It's settled, just one hour; after one hour, you will return to Xiaoyang."

San Jin nodded, her lips curving slightly, her smile as ethereal and beautiful as an epiphyllum blooming for a moment.

San Jin felt that Chen Yan was far too exhausted, having clearly gone through such a grueling journey in the College Entrance Exam Secret Realm.

Yet even now, he still had to be this weary.

Clearly, everything was being prepared for him, even Xia Qi was worrying about the general appointment ceremony; Chen Yan could obviously rest for a long time before waiting for the appointment.

"Just... just one... hour," San Jin said earnestly.

Chen Yan nodded, took a bite of the chicken leg, and chewed.

"How... how is the taste?" San Jin asked, eyes wide.

"It's good," Chen Yan said with a smile.

Joy appeared in San Jin's eyes, and just as she was about to speak:

"Actually..."

Chen Yan smiled and said:

"Remember to leave a bad review for whichever shop you bought it from."
