Chapter 89: The Xia Imperial Clan

Is this a Level Three Ancient Divine Beast?

Chen Yan's gaze was cold and gloomy; this battle didn't even allow him to successfully break his limits.

Ancient Divine Beast...

A very peculiar type of creature.

The other party's speed was simply astonishing, yet their overall combat power was disappointing.

If the other party had excelled in other areas besides speed, Chen Yan would have had to put in a great deal of effort to win.

Winning was a bit too easy.

He looked at the remains of the Ancient Divine Beast on the ground, squatted down, and took its two eyes into his hands.

Just as he was about to put them into his trouser pocket, Chen Yan froze.

Suddenly, he frowned and began to examine them carefully.

When he looked at one of the eyes, a surging yellow light representing Formation Energy emerged within his Po Sheng Realm.

But when he looked at the other eye, nothing happened.

This was something Chen Yan had discovered by accident; if he hadn't observed it carefully, he really wouldn't have noticed.

This Ancient Divine Beast actually only had one true eye.

Chen Yan looked around; aside from the blood and flesh scattered everywhere, the Little Girl squatting in the corner was staring blankly at Chen Yan, then suddenly opened her mouth wide and began to wail.

"Dead, he's dead..."

"Mother..."

Chen Yan looked at her quietly, then stomped his foot hard on the ground, causing a gust of air to swirl and clear away the bloodstains on the floor.

He began to reflect on the night's battle in his mind.

Every aspect was reviewed at this moment.

Only by reviewing the gains of one's day can one grow more rapidly.

Moreover, it could also be considered a form of rest, allowing his physical body to relax and recover.

Within the Po Sheng Realm, as Chen Yan reviewed the battle, lights of various colors emerged at this moment.

【Breaking Saint Tree Level Four: 8/10

Force: 19/100

Blood: 7/100

Technique: 36/100

Body: 76/100

Array: 39/100】

The Body Character Po Sheng Fruit, which had always been ignored by Chen Yan, had now become the one closest to maturity.

A hint of a smile appeared at the corners of Chen Yan's mouth; he used his Breathing Method every single moment of the day.

This was of great help in strengthening his physique.

It's just that...

He should look for a powerful Breathing Method.

The 【Red Gang Body Casting Canon】 led Chen Yan onto the path of Martial Dao, but now it was time for it to retire.

It is said that powerful Horizontal Refinement Martial Artists contain Heavenly Thunder within their bodies, have Thunder Dragons tempering their meridians, and can shatter mountain ranges with a single strike, their physical bodies being extremely powerful.

Containing Heavenly Thunder within the body—that is what a powerful Horizontal Refinement Breathing Method is.

A glimmer of light flashed in Chen Yan's eyes; this was something he yearned for.

At the same time.

The Little Girl squatting in the corner walked over and sat down beside Chen Yan.

Surrounded by the heads of children her own age, each staring at her with eyes wide open in death, she was naturally afraid.

Coming to Chen Yan's side, however, she could feel a great sense of security.

Perhaps because he was too focused, Chen Yan did not notice the arrival of a man with an exceptionally tall build and a slightly weary expression on the other side of the glass in front of him.

Shen Yiwei stared blankly at Chen Yan inside the Stone Grotto, his eyelids twitching, and he remained silent for a long time.

Although he had not seen Chen Yan strike.

But the fragments of corpses encountered along the way, the Stone Grotto that looked like a Refining Hell on earth, and that Ancient God Beast Corpse that had been almost completely destroyed, were all telling him...

It was time to sleep; otherwise, if his mind wasn't clear, his vision would easily become distorted.

Shen Yiwei shook his head:

"Where is the Ancient Divine Beast?"

"Right there." Si Wenyi pointed, feeling strange in his heart; Shen Yiwei's eyes were about to pop out onto the corpse of the Ancient Divine Beast.

"How did it die?" Shen Yiwei shook his head:

"I am asking you how it died!"

Si Wenyi was speechless; what on earth was Shen Yiwei doing?

"It was killed by Chen Yan."

Shen Yiwei turned around, took a deep breath, and stared fixedly at the Changlang behind him.

Holy Crap!

Lao Luo, what exactly is going on here?

A Level Three Ancient Divine Beast?

Just died like that at the hands of Chen Yan?

Calm down!

Shen Yiwei took a deep breath, his Mu Guang instantly widening, his five senses fully open.

Everything flowing in the surroundings entered his perception.

"Over there, there are more than thirty children, Si Wenyi, you go." Shen Yiwei pointed in one direction, then looked at the White-Robed Man beside him who had not spoken the entire time.

The other party was giggling, like a madman, just giggling.

Shen Yiwei frowned, waved one hand, and a tranquilizer needle pierced into the back of the man's neck; the latter passed out.

"Remember to take him to the Wen Xin Stele; any combat power Chen Yan revealed, he must keep secret."

Si Wenyi nodded and left.

Shen Yiwei looked at Chen Yan inside the Dixue, but at this moment, he was speechless.

This was his second meeting with the other party.

He had not expected it to be under these circumstances.

"After killing the Ancient Divine Beast, if you want the eyes, then there will be no Martial Merit Points," Shen Yiwei said.

Inside the Stone Grotto, Chen Yan nodded; this Ancient Divine Beast did not have an Element Crystal Core, so he would not be able to sell it anyway.

As for the eyes, he wanted to keep them for himself.

Shen Yiwei pursed his lips; he had almost guessed what the Chu Family was raising this Ancient Divine Beast for.

He just had not expected that Chen Yan, whom they had overlooked, would completely resolve it.

"Also, you have performed a great service this time, at least an Er Deng Zhangu; I will report it directly to the Qinzhou Military Martial Guard headquarters through the military martial system."

Shen Yiwei said:

"They might give you some benefits."

Chen Yan opened his eyes and asked in surprise:

"Shouldn't the Military Martial Guard be under the jurisdiction of the Martial Officer?"

"Yes, and no."

Shen Yiwei laughed:

"The Military Martial Guard is the most special department within the Martial Officer system, which is the Military Martial Department."

The Martial Officer has two Vice Chiefs, myself and Gong Hangwen; Gong Hangwen manages the Ziyuan Department, Lvwu Department, and Caizheng Department.

I manage the Social Security Department, Wusi Department, and Military Martial Department.

The Old Chief is about to go to the Frontline, so he only manages the Jiaoyu Department.

Even when the Old Chief was young, the Military Martial Department was not under his control; the true superior of the Military Martial Department is the Xia Imperial Clan."

Chen Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, the Xia Imperial Clan?

After Xia Zhu and the Strong Ones of the Five Clans founded the Great Xia and established the Martial Officer, the voice of the Xia Clan became less and less heard.

Until now, very few people even know of the Xia Clan.

"Yes, the Xia Imperial Clan," Shen Yiwei nodded and said: "The military is the backbone of Great Xia's combat power; no matter how useless the Xia Clan might be, they could never let military power slip from their hands."

Chen Yan nodded; this was something he had not known before:

"What benefits will they give me?"

Shen Yiwei was stunned; so he was waiting here, and he laughed:

"Naturally, it won't be bad; the Xia Clan is quite generous when it comes to rewarding talent. You can say what you want, and I will report it later."

"Earth Vein Grade... Azure Dome Grade Horizontal Refinement Breathing Method."

Chen Yan laughed.

Shen Yiwei was stunned; you really know how to ask.

"Fine, I will say it. If they can't provide it, the Martial Officer actually has some too; I will calculate the value and give you the Observation and Imagination."

"Many thanks," Chen Yan laughed.

"Now, let's see how you get out."

Shen Yiwei touched the glass and pressed hard, but it would not break; he glanced at the Chuansong Lüdai on the ground.

"It will take some time, please wait a moment."

Just as Shen Yiwei was about to act, he saw the Little Girl beside Chen Yan speak:

"Can I join the Military Martial Guard?"

Shen Yiwei looked at her, his Mu Guang softening slightly:

"It requires talent, it requires perseverance."

"I will work hard," the Little Girl said.

She glanced at the Youth beside her; he looked to be about Seventeen, only two or three years older than her.

But just now, he had slaughtered that Ancient Divine Beast with an overwhelming posture.

He was her savior.

…………

Within the quiet Shanlin, figures shuttled through.

Shen Youning, Xu Di, and the other two flashed, covering a hundred meters in an instant.

"I haven't met that Chen Yan yet, and he has already performed such a great service; not bad, very not bad indeed."

A Youth wearing a military uniform laughed; although he had handsome features, he kept a shaved head, which made him very recognizable.

"Instructor Luo investigated for so long without a single lead; how is it that as soon as Instructor Luo left, Chen Yan found the evidence?"

Another Youth carrying a Long Staff spoke, carrying a hint of suspicion.

Xu Di glanced at him indifferently and said in a low voice:

"Zhan Hun, if you don't engage in Conspiracy for a day, will you die?"

"Hmm?"

The youth carrying a staff named Zhan Hun Frown, and said in a low voice:

"Is what I said not reasonable?

Matters that do not conform to science all hide immense danger."

Xu Di narrowed his eyes:

"Shut up!"

Zhan Hun's Frown deepened:

"Do you want to think about what rank you are on the Heavenly Pride list, and what rank I am?"

"Are you trying to suppress me with force?" Xu Di gave a Cold Snort.

"Both of you, shut up."

Shen Youning Frown and spoke:

"If you want to fight, go back and fight. To be bickering while here to execute a mission, what kind of behavior is that?"

Xu Di and Zhan Hun ceased speaking.

Shen Youning, however, looked at Zhan Hun and said:

"Since you have not met Chen Yan, do not recklessly evaluate the other party. Since he has joined the New Dragon Guard, then Chen Yan is a teammate worthy of trust."

Zhan Hun nodded, feeling somewhat helpless.

He only wanted to point out the unreasonable aspects of this matter.

Namely, why Chen Yan could easily investigate the truth, and there was one most critical matter...

Chen Yan was just a Newcomer who had just joined the New Dragon Guard; why did he dare to kill his way directly into the interior of the Chu Family Base before Shen Yiwei arrived?

He did not want to slander anyone, but he valued his own life very much.

He also did not want to see his comrades die because of carelessness.

Immediately following, he saw a scene of devastation across the land.

The Moon cast a clear radiance, yet it could not illuminate this tragic Heaven and Earth.

Trees were snapped and broken, lying about in disarray like the remains abandoned by Heaven. The ground was full of human Corpses.

Severed limbs and fragments were scattered among them, as if it were a bloody scroll painted by hell.

"This..." the bald Youth who had not spoken until now was stunned:

"Who killed all these?"

Zhan Hun was also astonished; although he had already joined the New Dragon Guard, he had actually not encountered much in the way of killing.

"It was Chen Yan." Shen Youning's Frown tightened slightly, and she said:

"Keep moving, the Base is over there."

"Chen Yan?" Zhan Hun was completely Stun, for he clearly saw that Chu Feiyuan seemed to be among the Corpses.

In a very miserable Manner.

"No... that's impossible." Zhan Hun said, his voice trembling:

"Isn't he a Newcomer who just joined?"

The land here had been destroyed for several hundred Meters!

Xu Di ignored him, and the group arrived inside the Base.

Subsequently, they saw an even more tragic scene.

That area in the Senlin was large after all, and the Corpses were scattered, but inside the Shidong, dozens of Corpses were piled up like a mountain of blood.

"Ugh!"

The bald Youth turned his whole body away and vomited uncontrollably, clearly suffering from physical discomfort.

"Did Chen Yan kill these?" Shen Youning murmured, feeling that Chen Yan's danger index had risen another level in her heart.

If it were her, she had also killed this many people.

But Chen Yan had only just joined the Military Martial Guard and had never experienced these things before; to have become like this in such a short time.

It was truly... somewhat unconventional.

It was also at this moment.

A youth wearing Black Clothes appeared at the other end of the Shidong, his Appearance handsome, his Mu Guang cold and clear.

He walked with quiet steps, yet brought an extremely heavy pressure to Zhan Hun and the others.

"Where is Vice Chief Shen?" Shen Youning spoke, looking at Chen Yan, her heart even more astonished.

Before Chen Yan had even arrived, she felt a wave of Killing Intent approaching.

A very light Killing Intent, but very Rhino.

"Still settling those children with Siwen Jie; you arrived just in time." Chen Yan gave a light Laughter and came before Shen Youning.

Xu Di remained silent, the bald Youth was still vomiting, and Zhan Hun was now looking at Chen Yan, examining him closely.

Aside from having a bit of Killing Intent on his body, Chen Yan was very polite in his speech, humble and courteous.

It was quite different from what he had previously imagined.

"Are you injured?" Shen Youning asked with concern.

"Minor injuries." Chen Yan said with a smile.

Xu Di opened his Mouth, clearly having met Chen Yan only a few days ago, yet at this moment, it felt like three autumns had passed.

All of a sudden, he did not know what to say.

"Then, is there really a third-rank Ancient Divine Beast here?" Zhan Hun interjected at this moment:

"Let's... get to know each other, tenth on the Heavenly Pride list, Zhan Hun."

"Chen Yan." Chen Yan said with a smile: "Present."

A trace of disgust appeared in Zhan Hun's Pupil:

"Damn Chu Family."

Zhan Hun was about to open his Mouth, but saw Chen Yan nod and brush past his Shoulder:

"I'm leaving first."

He still had to go find Li Qingyuan; this Brother was actually somewhat pitiful.

Boom.

Chen Yan leaped like a Mammoth, his entire person jumping out of the Mountain Cave.

"Such strong control of power." Shen Youning's Mu Guang narrowed slightly.

Zhan Hun took a look at the Crown, his entire person somewhat Stun.

He still had some questions, namely, were these people really all killed by Chen Yan?

In any case, he had some doubts.

Chen Yan was clearly a person who looked very gentle.

It was also at this moment.

The sounds of children Howling rang out from the other end of the Mountain Cave, and Zhan Hun and the others looked over.

Si Wenyi and Shen Yiwei were leading a group of children out.

"Youning, it's fine now, you all go back; the Logistics Department will handle things here."

Shen Yiwei looked at Shen Youning and spoke.

"What about that Tier 3 Ancient Beast?" Shen Youning asked.

"Dead."

Zhan Hun said with a Smile: "Lao Shen really earned a profit this time, ha."

Shen Yiwei, however, was holding the hand of a Little Girl and slowly shook his head:

"Here, there is no talk of profit or lack thereof.

If I had placed more attention on the missing persons, there wouldn't have been so many children who died."

Shen Youning and the others fell into Silence, all looking at the group of children still Howling.

"I actually misunderstood Chen Yan." Zhan Hun's Smile also faded; he had just been doubting the authenticity of Chen Yan finding the Base.

If Shen Yiwei had doubted like him, he feared that in a short time, a few more children would have died.

"Correct." Shen Yiwei nodded:

"We didn't contribute to this matter at all; Chen Yan is the one who makes me marvel."

Xu Di saw the self-reproach in Shen Yiwei's Pupil and comforted him:

"At least, you killed the Tier 3 Ancient Beast, didn't you?"

"Hm?" Shen Yiwei was Stun:

"When did I say I killed it?"

"It wasn't you?" Zhan Hun was stunned.

"It was Chen Yan."

The bodies of Zhan Hun and the others stiffened.
