Chapter 122

"Did you sleep well?"

Hua Yulou smiled gently and said.

"Last night really scared me. Fortunately, after the doctor examined you, he said it was just a flesh wound, nothing serious, no nerves were injured."

After speaking,

She handed a set of clothes she was holding to Chen Jie.

The clothes were brand new, obviously she had gone to buy them specially.

Chen Jie didn't stand on ceremony with her either; after receiving the clothes, he entered the bathroom in the room.

Unexpectedly, the clothes fit perfectly; it seemed Hua Yulou had indeed put quite a bit of thought into it.

After changing clothes,

Chen Jie came out and said with a smile:

"If there's anything, you can call me. I'll be a bit busy these few days, so I won't come over!"

He wanted to deliberately keep his distance from the other party, not wanting to invite trouble.

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie suddenly felt his stomach growling with hunger; he was indeed very hungry.

Chen Jie had experienced 'Medicated Supplementation'.

What surprised Chen Jie was that Zhong Zhengguo had actually found this place.

As long as one's conscience is clear, everything follows the heart.

Hua Yulou quietly watched Chen Jie finish eating, her gaze becoming increasingly gentle.

"You are a martial artist; your physical constitution should be able to endure the medicinal effects!"

Half an hour later.

Truthfully, Chen Jie was very clear in his heart that the other party was the woman of the 'Starlight' Group's behind-the-scenes 'Underground betting top big shot'.

After the two arrived at the restaurant, Hua Yulou pointed at a jar of medicine soup and said with a smile:

"Drink it! This is a medicated diet I specially had someone simmer; inside are lingzhi and some precious medicinal herbs."

"Additionally, even if she wanted to 'keep' me, it's impossible she would do so so brazenly, right?"

He then wiped out the medicated diet and the prepared food completely.

After bidding farewell to Hua Yulou, a thought suddenly popped into Chen Jie's heart.

For some reason,

However,

A gentle smile appeared on her face; she helped Chen Jie straighten his collar.

After speaking,

"Sister Hua, thanks! I slept very comfortably last night; there's nothing wrong now."

"Chen Jie, during this period, you stay here first."

The nanny aunt came over and tidied up the finished food on the dining table.

Swish swish swish...!

Chen Jie ate cleanly, devouring the food like a whirlwind sweeping away remnant clouds.

Hua Yulou didn't say much more, stating calmly:

"You all can chat in the living room if you have business; I have some matters to attend to, so I'll leave first."

At this time, in her mind, there seemed to be a bit of a trance...!

A moment later,

This jar of medicated diet definitely doesn't come cheap...!

The key is,

The taste was much better than the 'Medicated Supplementation' he made himself; obviously it came from the hands of a famous chef.

Therefore,

After figuring it out, Chen Jie no longer tangled over these issues.

"Also, I know your appetite is large, so I specially had people prepare a lot of food."

He still has some knowledge regarding the age and efficacy of medicinal herbs.

He didn't waste words; after sitting down, he first tasted a mouthful of the medicated diet.

But when facing 'Hua Yulou', he somehow couldn't bring himself to deliberately do so.

After speaking,

At this moment,

Chen Jie became even more certain that Hua Yulou is the woman of the 'Xingguang' Group's behind-the-scenes 'Underground betting top big shot'!

"Rest assured, it's very safe here!"

When Zhong Zhengguo arrived.

Hua Yulou smiled and said: "It's fine as long as you're okay. Come... let's go to the restaurant for breakfast!"

"Hiss... this medicated diet has a very strong medicinal taste; the medicinal herbs must be very expensive, right?"

She nodded at Zhong Zhengguo, didn't say much more, and turned to leave.

Guoshu Martial Arts originally requires maintaining one's original heart.

"Could it be Hua Yulou really wants to 'keep' me? Impossible, right? She is the woman of the 'Xingguang Group's behind-the-scenes big shot; how would she dare 'keep' me?"

Very quickly,

"Damn it! Can't figure it out!"

"Perhaps it's because she knows about the Xingguang Quan Chang, knows my strength is strong, and can bring great benefits to Xingguang Quan Chang."

"So, she approached me?"

"Forget it, I won't think about this anymore. No matter what, she helped me a great deal. No matter what happens in the future, I must repay her this favor."

Chen Jie could feel that Huayulou's kindness toward him had nothing utilitarian in it.

Whether the other party was sincere, he could sense it.

"Could it be... she approached me because she wants to know my secrets?"

For some reason, such a thought suddenly popped into Chen Jie's mind.

"Chen Jie, you came to me... wanting to understand what aspects of things?"

"By the way, what exactly happened last night?"

After Huayulou left, Zhong Zhengguo asked in a low voice.

What happened last night had not spread any news to the outside.

No one called the police!

It seemed...

All news had been blockaded.

Even he, as the Person in Charge of the Xingguang Quan Chang, knew very limited news.

"The situation is like this. After the Youth Sanda Championship ended yesterday, I planned to return home for a trip..."

Next,

Chen Jie recounted the whole course of events once.

From him entering the Alley, then being chased and killed by more than twenty Knife Hands.

Next,

he grabbed a fire poker, finally seized a saber, and continuously took down four, seriously injuring seven...

Chen Jie concealed nothing at all, telling Zhong Zhengguo every detail.

Hiss!

After hearing Chen Jie's account, Zhong Zhengguo couldn't help but suck in a breath of Cold Air.

Especially hearing that Chen Jie was blocked by more than twenty people in the Alley, yet actually carved a bloody path out, Unscathed.

Even just listening made Zhong Zhengguo break out in a cold sweat from nervousness.

Truthfully,

if it weren't for Hua Zong personally picking up Chen Jie last night, Zhong Zhengguo wouldn't dare believe this was real.

"The process of the matter is just like this. I don't know who wants to deal with me, so I want to understand from you."

Chen Jie did not directly state his guess, but instead asked indirectly:

"You are the Person in Charge of the Xingguang Quan Chang, and should be relatively clear about the various Forces in Xiangnan."

"I'm just a student of a Martial Arts School, and ask myself I haven't offended anyone."

"The only possibility is that I fought a few Bangzhan at the Xingguang Quan Chang and was retaliated against."

"Those Knife Hands last night were not Ordinary People; their saber speed was very fast. Fortunately, my life is tough, otherwise I would have been chopped to death by them long ago!"

"What I want to know now is, exactly who wants to deal with me?"

After hearing this, Zhong Zhengguo said in surprise: "Last night... didn't Hua Zong tell you?"

Chen Jie was stunned upon hearing this, and asked doubtfully: "What Hua Zong? You mean Hua Jie? What did she tell me...?"

Zhong Zhengguo suddenly remembered Huayulou's instructions and hurriedly closed his mouth to change the subject.

"Those Knife Hands who chased and killed you in the Alley last night were the Big Knife Team of Tianyuan Group!"

"A year ago, our Xingguang Group had a Firefight with Tianyuan Group once."

"The Big Knife Team is not easy to deal with. They are usually not in the Domestic area, but were transferred from Tianyuan Group's Headquarters in Southeast Asia."

"They are a group of Desperadoes who underwent Special Training, and their combat power is very strong."

"To be honest, although I knew last night that you were being chased and killed by the Big Knife Team, I didn't expect you to actually kill four of them and disable seven!"

"Damn it... no wonder there was no news at all. It turns out they suffered a big loss and dare not make a fuss!"

"I've been wondering, how did you provoke Tianyuan Group?"

"These bastards' style of doing things is different from our Xingguang Group. To achieve their goals, they use any means!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie immediately frowned.

"So they are Desperadoes transferred from Southeast Asia. No wonder they dare to besiege me!"

At this time, Chen Jie basically had a clear idea in his heart, and the tension in his heart disappeared somewhat.

At the same time,

he felt increasingly that his previous guess was correct.

Before Big Brother went missing, he must have taken something very important from Tianyuan Group.

Otherwise,

the people of Tianyuan Group would not want to Exterminate.

The next three days.

Chen Jie's days were very leisurely and comfortable.

Originally he thought that since he killed people, there would surely be Rumors outside, causing a huge commotion everywhere.

But what was surprising was.

There was no news from the outside world about the alleyway killings.

If not for Chen Jie experiencing it personally, he probably would not have been able to believe everything that happened that night.

Every day, Huayulou arranged for the nanny to deliver delicious food and medicated diet.

And,

The Big Villa's location was extremely spacious, the surrounding walls very high.

After eating, Chen Jie would train in the courtyard.

He specifically had Huayulou prepare a 'Qi Family Saber' forged from high-intensity alloy for him.

This meant Chen Jie did not delay his training just because his arm suffered a minor injury.

With these days of training, Chen Jie became increasingly obsessed with saber technique; he had already thoroughly comprehended the 'Qi Family Saber Twelve Forms'.

To fully unleash the Third Realm of Blade Technique — Blade Momentum — required time to temper.

Gradually,

In Chen Jie's mind, the combat experience from the memory of slaying 'Corpse Stiffs' in the Dream Space fused into one with Blade Momentum.

Ning Wuque's Blade Path Realm comprehension was like a cord, thoroughly fusing those saber technique combat experiences.

Deep night,

Chen Jie lay in the villa's room.

The surroundings were extremely quiet; he locked the room door from the inside.

A moment later, he entered the Dream!

Wu Kui City, on the passage outside the West Courtyard of Xingyi Gate, Chen Jie's figure appeared.

At this time,

His face calm, he walked toward the North Area direction of Xingyi Gate.

Upon entering the North Area, this place was completely different from the West Side's desolate quiet.

Not far away,

Figures constantly patrolling and wandering around appeared in Chen Jie's field of vision.

Hu...!

Chen Jie took a deep breath, gripping the two wooden table legs in his hands.

No saber was to be seen in the Dream Space; he could only use wooden table legs in place of a saber.

Boom...!

The next moment,

Blade Momentum enveloped the surroundings; his whole body's aura surged violently.

Swish...!

Immediately after, Chen Jie stomped his foot, speed pushed to the limit, and charged toward the patrolling 'Soldier Squad' Corpse Stiffs not far off.

Different from the past single sneak attacks, picking them off one by one.

Chen Jie adopted the simplest, most crude method.

After being besieged by over twenty people in the alleyway, Chen Jie understood.

Sometimes, one must have experience facing a group siege.

Clang clang clang...

Have to say, saber technique's power compared to bare hands is too much stronger!

After triggering the 'Soldier Squad' Corpse Stiffs' Alert Zone.

Chen Jie was like a tiger entering a wolf pack; with two wooden table legs in hand, he charged straight through.

Those 'Soldier Corpse Stiffs' that neared him were instantly struck down.

Like wind sweeping away remnant clouds, cleared clean by Chen Jie's sharp saber technique!

Hum, hum, hum...

One Corpse Stiff after another continuously fell, turning into light points that surged in from the top of Chen Jie's head.

As he swept through all the way, clearing.

The number of 'Soldier Squads' around plummeted.

Memories formed from light points poured into Chen Jie's mind, becoming more and more.

Boom...!

A saber technique hacked down, slaying a 'Squad Leader Corpse Stiff'.

Chen Jie finally felt his brain somewhat swollen and aching.

Swish...!

The next moment,

He stomped his foot, body leaping into the air.

Qi Family Saber Technique Sixth Form — Downward Splitting Form!

The wooden table leg fell like a meteor, instantly slaying another powerful 'Squad Leader Corpse Stiff'.

Thud...!

After the 'Squad Leader Corpse Stiff' fell, it kicked up dust flying.

Immediately after, a cluster of light points condensed, pouring in from the top of Chen Jie's head, entering through the crown.

Hiss...!

"Guard Army Escort Team!!"

After clearing the surrounding Corpse Stiffs, Chen Jie's face showed no expression; he continued walking forward.

With his current Blade Path Realm, facing these ordinary "Soldier Corpse Stiffs," he could solve them easily with almost a single saber strike.

In the following time,

On the road he continuously encountered two "Soldier Corpse Stiff" squads.

These Soldier Corpse Stiffs quickly all turned into points of light, absorbed by Chen Jie's mind sea.

At this time,

The "Sunset Blade Intent" in his mind sea continuously fused the combat experience from the "Corpse Stiff" memories.

For a moment,

Chen Jie felt his brain swelling pain sensation obtain relief.

Memory Purification!

That's right,

Ever since obtaining "Ning Wuque's" Memory Inheritance — Blade Intent!

Chen Jie discovered "Grandmaster Will" a very important function.

That is — Memory Purification!

Originally because he absorbed too many memories, his brain's thinking became somewhat chaotic.

Just like Mental Disorder, various memories formed Conflict.

Additionally,

After absorbing too many memories, that brutal aura in his heart became terrifying, difficult to suppress.

In his mind sea, even continuously surged out impulses wanting to vent, wanting to kill.

That destructive consciousness made Chen Jie feel incomparably crazy, irritable...!

In his heart he was very clear, this was because he himself slaughtered too many "Corpse Stiffs" at once.

In a short time absorbed too many "Corpse Stiff" memories, produced Aftereffects.

But when "Sunset Blade Intent" erupted.

The memories in his mind sea, unexpectedly quickly were fused by "Blade Intent," purified!

That brutal aura in his heart gradually dispersed, simultaneously Blade Intent became increasingly stable, indestructible!

It seems...

These "Corpse Stiff" chaotic memories, became nutrients for tempering Blade Intent!

The surroundings finally cleared!

However,

Chen Jie did not stop.

He continued searching for something in the surroundings.

Swish!

Suddenly,

Only saw a human figure appear twenty meters from Chen Jie.

The entire Xingyi Sect North Courtyard, with the human figure's appearance, was just like a hurricane rose up.

Whoo...

Surroundings dust flew, thick fog rolled, aura terrifying.

Swish...!

Chen Jie holding wooden table leg in hand, pupils fiercely shrank, stopped footsteps.

Next,

He raised head looking at front suddenly appeared human figure, couldn't help deep breath, face revealed a thread of smile.

Finally appeared...!

According to "Ning Wuque's" Memory.

He bringing Imperial Guards came to Xingyi Sect, was someone leading the way!

This guy defected to Imperial Court, when Government Office exterminated Xingyi Sect, he bore the brunt, established Meritorious Service.

Chen Jie all the way investigated to Xingyi Sect's North Side.

He always was expecting to see this person.

He guessed this guy should have returned to his own Residence.

Indeed did not guess wrong.

When Chen Jie arrived at Xingyi Sect North Courtyard, this guy finally appeared!

Eldest Senior Brother — Leng Hanshan!

Xingyi Sect Sixth Generation True Transmission Disciple First Person, Chief Eldest Disciple — Grandmaster-level Powerhouse!

Hu...!

Raised head looking at front human figure, Chen Jie whole body began condense Battle Intent.

Swish...!

Immediately following,

He hand in wooden table leg gripped tight, whole body Battle Intent violently increased, state raised to Peak!

Chen Jie stood at Alert Zone outside, up down sizing up just appeared this human figure.

This "Corpse Stiff" from Appearance look, did not have any Damage!

It height approximately 185cm, body type robust, giving people an extremely powerful feeling.

His appearance very ordinary, body not wearing Government Office Clothing, also not wearing Xingyi Sect Disciple Uniform, but wearing a Leather Armor!

Looking at it,

Majestic, with Majestic Momentum, giving one an extremely terrifying pressure!

Grandmaster powerhouse!

This 'Corpse Stiff' with the appearance of someone in their thirties.

If it weren't for the fact that his entire body emitted no Vitality whatsoever, from a distance he would be almost no different from a normal person.

In terms of Appearance, he was completely different from any 'Corpse Stiff' Chen Jie had encountered before!

The Only Similarity, perhaps, was that both eyes were Empty, Spiritless...!
