Chapter 215: Demons are those who confuse the public with demon words!

Scanning the corpses of this white fox family on the ground, Lin Chen lifted his feet and walked into the cave.

The cave was ten zhang deep. In the grass nest built with withered grass at the very end, Lin Chen saw many corpses, some of animals, but also human bones.

Seeing those two human bones, Lin Chen's mouth raised a look of sarcasm.

Demon race, those who confuse the public with demon words!

Among them, the fox clan is the worst!

Most demon races take the first step of opening wisdom, and after opening wisdom, they can cultivate.

But opening wisdom doesn't mean they can speak human language.

Although the fox clan opens wisdom earlier, they also cannot speak human language.

Demon races who can speak human language, either have elders in the clan teaching human language, or have come into contact with humans and understand human language.

Most of the white fox clan of Mount Huang left Daliang. The few who didn't leave Daliang were also exterminated by the seniors of Daliang martial artists. The only possibility for those who could still survive under the search of Daliang martial arts seniors was one.

At that time, the ancestors of this white fox clan hadn't opened wisdom yet, and there was no demon energy on their bodies, so they could dodge the search.

But if the ancestors of this white fox family were really just fish that slipped through the net without opening wisdom, without the teaching of elders in the clan, always staying in the deep mountains, and never coming into contact with humans, where did they learn human language?

He was pulling the bow and shooting arrows earlier. This white fox was watching him in the dark. If it found that his strength was not as good as its, would it really not take action against him?

From the moment he determined the identity of the white fox clan and it spoke human language, Lin Chen had inferred these, and he also had the heart to kill.

Facts also proved that his judgment was not wrong.

Lin Chen turned and walked out of the cave, picked up these four white fox corpses, and headed toward the road down the mountain.

Meeting the white fox matter made him decide to go down the mountain today.

……

……

Huang Fu!

When Lin Chen appeared at the Huang family, the first person he saw was Huang Kun.

"Second Senior Uncle, this disciple has something to report!"

Huang Kun saw the white fox corpses Lin Chen was carrying, and his expression instantly became serious: "Lin Chen, did you meet the white fox demon race?"

White fox, there are many legends among the people in Huizhou Prefecture, but because Daliang Taizu Emperor ordered to block the matter of the demon race, for many ordinary people, they didn't know how much damage the white fox had caused to Huizhou. They would use the white fox to scare children, just because this was how adults scared them when they were young, passed down from generation to generation.

But Huang Kun, as the future head of the Huang family, was very clear about the tragic events that had happened in Huizhou Prefecture, and even more clear about what the white fox had done to the commoners of Huizhou Prefecture.

"This disciple met this white fox family, but this disciple feels that the white foxes on Mount Huang are probably not just this family."

When walking out of the cave where the white fox lived, Lin Chen first thought about whether to wait for the rabbit at this cave entrance to see if there were any fish that slipped through the net, letting the white fox family reunite completely.

But the moment he really walked out of the cave entrance, another thought suddenly flashed in Lin Chen's mind.

Why did the male fox return to the cave?

Knowing that it was not his opponent, and there were bloodstains on the ground, he would follow the bloodstains to find it. With the cunning of the white fox clan, the male fox couldn't have thought of this point!

Instead of choosing to hit and die in front of him to beg him to spare his wife and children, it would be better not to return to the nest. In this way, even if he chased and killed it, it wouldn't implicate his wife and children.

Mount Huang was so big, and the cave was very hidden. He might not be able to find that cave.

Knowing he was not an opponent, he still led the enemy into the nest, hoping that the human youth who had a sea of blood and deep hatred with their demon race would spare them?

Lin Chen didn't feel that the male fox would be so stupid!

Thinking of this layer, Lin Chen first substituted himself into the male fox's perspective. If he didn't return to the nest, but died outside, what would be the consequence?

The consequence was that the human youth might suspect that there were more white fox demon races in Mount Huang and inform the elders or the government, and then the government would send people into the mountain to search comprehensively.

This male fox, with the death of his family, exchanged for the government not sending people into the mountain to search!

So there were either more white foxes hidden in the mountain, or there were other secrets hidden. The male fox didn't want to be discovered by humans.

Drawing this guess, Lin Chen felt cold all over. He even felt that his every move was being watched. If there were more white fox clans, and they weren't discovered by him, their strength must be above his.

The other party didn't come out to kill him, the purpose was only one: not wanting to attract more human powerhouses into the mountain to search because of his death.

The strength he displayed, as long as one knew a little about humans, would know that he was definitely a genius level. If he disappeared in Mount Huang, the family elders would definitely enter the mountain to search, and this was highly likely to expose the secret of the white fox clan.

Carrying this suspicion, Lin Chen didn't continue to wait for the rabbit around the cave entrance. What if the white fox clan expert who was watching in the dark suddenly changed his mind?

So he pretended to be completely unaware, carrying the white fox corpses down the mountain.

Out of the foot of Mount Huang, he immediately ran at full speed!

Huang family back courtyard!

Huang Yuanliang listened to Lin Chen's experience and analysis, and there was also killing intent in his old eyes.

"Lin Chen, your analysis is highly likely to be correct. Back then, the white fox clan left a hand in Mount Huang, digging a secret passage, which could directly enter Mount Huang through the secret passage from hundreds of miles away."

Huang Yuanliang knew what Lin Chen wanted to ask and directly told the situation tonight.

"The white fox clan arranged for more than fifty Ranked Tier clansmen to sneak into Mount Huang, and there were also two elder-level existences. These fox demons were extremely fierce. After being discovered, they all chose to blow themselves up, just not wanting to be captured alive by my Daliang martial artists."

"Don't want to be captured alive?" Lin Chen pondered: "The white fox clan doesn't want to expose their true purpose of returning to Mount Huang."

"That's right. I and several other adults also judged it this way. The white foxes didn't hesitate to send two elders and bring so many clansmen back to Mount Huang, it was definitely not as simple as wanting to take root in Mount Huang."

Huang Yuanliang recognized Lin Chen's judgment, but then ordered Huang Fenghua beside him: "In a while, you will take Lin Chen away from the Huang family."

"Grand-Yu Yu Jiaoxi, why let this disciple leave now?"

Lin Chen was very puzzled. Huang Yuanliang had a glimmer of light in his old eyes: "This time the white fox clan suffered huge losses and will definitely not let it go. My Daliang naturally doesn't fear the white fox clan, but I'm afraid the white fox clan will find out about you and then secretly retaliate against you."

"Retaliate against this disciple?"

"The demon race's means cannot be underestimated. My Daliang has many geniuses who die unexpectedly every year, among which there are also the demon race's hands, but they couldn't find evidence. These demon races who left Daliang don't dare to deal with my Daliang geniuses on the surface. They are also afraid that my Daliang will send powerhouses to kill into their country regardless of everything and exterminate their clan."

"In most cases, my Daliang geniuses don't need to worry about their safety, but this time it is because you discovered the white fox matter. If the white fox clan knows about it, I'm afraid they will spare no means to assassinate you and retaliate."

Huang Yuanliang's expression was serious: "Daliang will also keep an eye on the white fox clan, but the white fox clan is after all in a foreign country, and it cannot be foolproof. Therefore, the best way is to hide your news in this matter." "This disciple understands."

Lin Chen understood the meaning of Grand-Yu Yu Jiaoxi's words. Now Daliang and the surrounding countries, including those demon races, all belong to the situation of mutual fear. Everyone has various struggles in the dark, but on the surface, they haven't been exposed yet. The demon race doesn't dare to target Daliang geniuses for assassination unscrupulously, unless they find an opportunity to do so without leaving evidence.

But he destroyed a certain plan of the white fox clan this time and caused the white fox clan huge losses. If the white fox clan knew about this matter, they would inevitably want to retaliate, and he would be their first choice target.

"At home, I will inform all the servants not to reveal the news that you have been here. Fortunately, not many people know that you came to my Huang family, so this matter can be hidden."

"Thank you, Grand-Yu Yu Jiaoxi, for caring for this disciple."

Lin Chen nodded. Grand-Yu Yu Jiaoxi's arrangement was for his safety, not because he was afraid of the white fox clan.

"Grand-Yu Yu Jiaoxi, this disciple still has some things to tell you."

Since he was going to leave, Lin Chen decided to tell Grand-Yu Yu Jiaoxi about the situation in that valley. As for whether Grand-Yu Yu Jiaoxi wanted to tell the future generations of the clan, that would be decided by Grand-Yu Yu Jiaoxi himself.

"Hmm, come in with me."

Huang Yuanliang could also guess that the matter Lin Chen wanted to talk about was related to the Huang family ancestral land. Back then, the three ancestors chose the path of body-tempering, but returned the next day.

Lin Chen stayed in the mountain for more than half a month. This meant that Lin Chen obtained the fortune and succeeded in body-tempering.

Following Grand-Yu Yu Jiaoxi into the room, Lin Chen didn't hide it and told the situation in the cloud valley in detail. The only thing he changed was that the reason for digging the stone tablet wasn't that he associated it with the plot in the novel of his previous life, but that he discovered it after kowtowing.

"The ancestor also took great pains. This is to fear that the body-tempering method will fall into the hands of people with evil intentions. Even if it is my Huang family descendant, in the ancestor's eyes, as long as they are unfilial, they don't have the qualification to obtain the true body-tempering method."

Huang Yuanliang listened and pondered for a long time. He didn't know whether the three ancestors kowtowed or not, but he decided to follow the ancestor's arrangement and would not tell the future generations about this matter.

"On this path of body-tempering, the ancestor didn't leave much useful information. How to go next needs to be explored by yourself. The help the Huang family can give you is limited."

"Grand-Yu Yu Jiaoxi, if there were no Huang family, this disciple wouldn't have the opportunity to cultivate the Zhenyue Manual, let alone obtain the body-tempering method. This disciple will not forget this grace." Lin Chen hurriedly said.

Huang Yuanliang waved his hand and didn't continue this topic.

"Lin Chen, I observe your attitude toward the demon race, which should be extremely disgusted."

"Hmm."

Lin Chen nodded. He had already learned from his teacher about the damage the demon race had brought to Daliang, especially Jiangnan Dao.

Perhaps in other places of Daliang, such as that Lord Lingxiao City, they had never been occupied by the demon race, and they could live in peace with the demon race or forget the hatred. But the commoners of Jiangnan Dao could never forgive the demon race.

"After going to the Canglan Martial Academy, hide this hatred for the demon race. Don't easily show your attitude."

"Grand-Yu Yu Jiaoxi, why is that?"

"The Martial Academy uses the resources of the nine countries, among which several countries have collusion with the demon race. If you show that you hate the demon race deeply, I'm afraid you will be targeted. Just bury some hatred in your heart. When you enter the Ranked Tier, or even cultivate to the upper rank, at that time, even if you say 'kill demons on sight', no one can do anything to you."

"Now your strength is still weak, so you need to hide your likes and dislikes. Don't show your true attitude toward the demon race."

A glimmer of light flashed in Lin Chen's eyes. He understood Grand-Yu Yu Jiaoxi's meaning.

Just like those political figures who left their names in history in his previous life, before their strength and status reached that point, they first hid their true ambitions, slowly climbed up, and after they were in high positions, at that time their momentum was formed, and there was no need to hide it anymore.

"Go now."

"Grand-Yu Yu Jiaoxi, this disciple takes his leave."

Lin Chen bowed deeply to Huang Yuanliang. When he walked out of the room, he found that the other several Senior Uncles had already left, and only the Fifth Senior Uncle was still waiting in the courtyard.

However, the Fifth Senior Uncle had also changed into a clean set of clothes.

"Lin Chen, I will take you out."

Huang Fenghua spoke with a smile. Lin Chen nodded in agreement: "Sorry for the trouble, Fifth Senior Uncle."

……

……

Linhu Village.

Huang Fenghua sent Lin Chen all the way to the border of Poyang County, and left after watching Lin Chen board Poyang Lake.

Returning to Linhu Village, Lin Chen met his teacher for the first time and told his teacher about his experience on Mount Huang.

"That Grand-Yu Yu Jiaoxi of yours is right. Don't show your attitude toward the demon race for now. This is good for your cultivation in the Martial Academy."

Jia Nanzhu recognized Huang Yuanliang's opinion, and at the same time frowned: "Regarding body-tempering, this teacher has heard of it. More than two thousand years ago, when the nine countries were unified, it was called the Qin State. It is rumored that the Qin State ruler at that time cultivated the body-tempering method, but later, as the Qin State split into five, the body-tempering method disappeared."

"Qin State?"

"Hmm, the territory of the Qin State two thousand years ago was equivalent to the territory of the five countries now. And the reason the body-tempering method disappeared, there is a rumor that because to cultivate the body-tempering method, one needs to gather the unique special energy of each of the five countries. Looking at it this way, the earth evil energy of Mount Huang should be one of them."

Lin Chen pondered. If he said so, did he need to go to the other four countries?

Not to mention whether he could go to the other four countries, he didn't know what body-tempering needed.

Earth evil energy was just the name given by the Huang family ancestor to the energy contained in the clouds and mist in the valley. Perhaps it wasn't called this name in the Qin State.

"This matter, Yu Yu Jiaoxi will help you search for information, and will write to inform you at that time."

"Sorry for the trouble, Yu Yu Jiaoxi."

"You are my disciple, what trouble is there to speak of." Jia Nanzhu waved his hand with a smile: "Since you want to hide your figure completely from the white fox matter, then leave Jiangnan Dao and go to the Canglan Martial Academy. This session of the Canglan Martial Academy will be much livelier than previous sessions. The other three academies are afraid they will regret it endlessly."

Lin Chen: "?"

"Because you left your name on Mount Wudao seven times, chose the Canglan Martial Academy, and were rated as Daliang's student model, this time the Canglan Martial Academy has recruited quite a few good seedlings. If it were in the past, these young geniuses would only consider the Qingyun Martial Academy, Kyoto Martial Academy, and Lord Lingxiao Martial Academy. The Canglan Martial Academy wouldn't be in their choice."

Jia Nanzhu's face carried a smile: "The day before yesterday, the Canglan Martial Academy wrote to ask when you would arrive. At that time, they would arrange for Martial Academy instructors to pick you up at the East Sea Dao border. Being able to let the Martial Academy arrange instructors to pick people up, you are the only one."

"This disciple is prepared to set off for the Canglan Martial Academy three days later."

"Good."

Jia Nanzhu nodded: "In this way, I will reply to the Canglan Martial Academy for you. However, it takes five days to go from Jiangnan Dao to the Canglan Martial Academy. This time, Yu Yu Jiaoxi won't go with you, so you will go by yourself."

"Yu Yu Jiaoxi, you won't follow me secretly, or send someone to protect me?"

Lin Chen asked with a smile. Jia Nanzhu's old eyes narrowed: "Yu Yu Jiaoxi won't follow you secretly, nor will I send someone to protect you. This section of the road is for you to walk by yourself. Not only you, but all Daliang geniuses are like this."

Really not sending someone secretly?

After all, he wasn't an ordinary genius.

Lin Chen had some doubts in his eyes. However, as the teacher said, the path of the Martial Way still had to rely on himself. If he knew someone was protecting him secretly, many times his actions wouldn't be so cautious and careful.

Furthermore, he still had the Martial Arts Seal, and there was the martial arts will of a Ranked Tier martial artist on the Martial Arts Seal, which was also a life-saving trump card.

……

……

Returning home, Lin Chen originally thought about accompanying his parents well at home during these three days before going to the Canglan Martial Academy.

However, the next day, the whole Linhu Village, or rather Poyang County and Raozhou Prefecture, were stirred up again.

This time, it had nothing to do with Lin Chen.

The Daliang imperial court issued an official document, "Proclamation to the People of Daliang."

In the official document, the matter of the demon race was completely made public, the sins committed by the demon race in Daliang, and the battles between Daliang seniors and the demon race.

Once the official document came out, it instantly exploded the entire Daliang folk.

Even for peddlers and hawkers, when selling goods along the street, their conversation would inevitably mention the demon race.

But just as Lin Chen had guessed, the people of Daliang didn't feel fear because the imperial court told them about the strength of the demon race. More of it was anger, among which Jiangnan Dao reacted most fiercely.

In Linhu Village.

Lin Chen stood in front of the ancestral hall, looking at the young faces under the steps that were still childish but burning with eyes.

The morning light slanted through the eaves, making the sweat beads on the teenagers' foreheads shine. His peripheral vision swept over Su Tong, who was standing with his hands down at the end of the crowd. The thin teenager was clutching the corner of his clothes, his back straight.

The day after he followed the instructor to Huizhou Prefecture, Su Tong's family moved to Linhu Village. Su mother was weak, and the village head arranged some simple sewing work. Su Tong followed the teenagers of Linhu Village to learn martial arts in the ancestral hall, and was provided two meals a day.

He was leaving Linhu Village today, and the village head, knowing he was leaving today, specifically asked him to come to the front of the ancestral hall to encourage the teenagers in the village.

"What benefits can learning martial arts have? I think your family elders have already told you. During this period of time, you have also seen my glory."

As soon as Lin Chen said this, the teenagers at the scene had bright lights in their eyes.

The reason they learned martial arts was indeed because they felt Lin Big Brother's glory.

"Learning martial arts can bring glory to your ancestors, can let your family live a good life, can let you rise to the top, but... learning martial arts is more than that."

"Why did Taizu Emperor establish the policy of national martial arts practice?"

"Not only to give ordinary people a chance to stand out, but also because of the harm of the demon race."

"You should also know about the imperial court official document these past few days. What kind of sins the demon race has committed against my Jiangnan Dao and my Poyang County can be said to be too numerous to record."

"If you want to no longer suffer such humiliation, only my Daliang teenagers can be like dragons!"

"Learning martial arts is even more for protecting the home and defending the country!"

"I look forward to learning about your growth from the village head's letter."

Looking at these burning eyes, Lin Chen didn't have any delay and turned to leave.

"I've troubled you, Master."

"You are my disciple; how can you speak of trouble?" Jia Nanzhu smiled and waved his hand. "Since you wish to completely conceal your identity regarding the white fox affair, then leave Jiangnan Dao and head to the Canglan Martial Academy. This year's Canglan Martial Academy is set to be much livelier than previous years; I fear the other three academies are filled with regret."

Lin Chen: "?"

"Because you left your name on Mount Wudao seven times and chose the Canglan Martial Academy, and were also named a model student of Daliang, this time the Canglan Martial Academy has recruited quite a few good seedlings. If it were in the past, these young geniuses would only consider the Qingyun Martial Academy, the Kyoto Martial Academy, and the Lord Lingxiao Martial Academy; the Canglan Martial Academy would not have been among their choices."

Jia Nanzhu wore a smile on his face. "The day before yesterday, the Canglan Martial Academy even wrote a letter asking when you would be heading there, saying they would arrange for a martial academy instructor to meet you at the Donghai Dao border. To have the academy arrange for an instructor to meet you—you are the only one to receive such treatment."

"This disciple plans to set off for the Canglan Martial Academy in three days."

"Good."

Jia Nanzhu nodded. "In that case, I will reply to the Canglan Martial Academy on your behalf. However, it is a five-day journey from Jiangnan Dao to the Canglan Martial Academy. This time, your master will not be going with you; you must travel alone."

"Master, you won't be following me in secret, or sending someone to protect me, will you?"

Lin Chen asked with a smile. Jia Nanzhu's old eyes narrowed. "Your master will not follow you in secret, nor will I send anyone to protect you. You must walk this stretch of the journey all by yourself. Not only you, but all the geniuses of Daliang are the same."

Really not sending anyone in secret?

After all, he was no ordinary genius.

There was some doubt in the depths of Lin Chen's eyes, but just as his master said, the path of the Martial Way must rely on oneself. If he knew someone was protecting him in secret, he would often not be as cautious and careful in his actions.

Furthermore, he still had the Martial Way Seal, and the Martial Way Seal contained the Martial Way Will of a Ranked martial artist; it was also a trump card for saving his life.

……

……

Returning home, Lin Chen had originally intended to spend these three days before heading to the Canglan Martial Academy properly accompanying his parents at home.

However, the next day, the entire Linhu Village—or rather, Poyang County and Raozhou Prefecture—was once again stirred into a frenzy.

This time, however, it had nothing to do with Lin Chen.

The Daliang Imperial Court issued an official document, "Proclamation to the People of Daliang."

In the document, the matter of the demon race was completely made public, including the sins the demon race had committed in Daliang and the battles between Daliang's predecessors and the demon race.

Once the document was released, it instantly ignited the entire populace of Daliang.

Even among peddlers and street vendors, the demon race was inevitably mentioned in their conversations while selling goods along the streets.

But just as Lin Chen had guessed, the people of Daliang were not afraid because the imperial court had informed them of the demon race's strength; rather, there was more anger, and the reaction in Jiangnan Dao was particularly intense.

In Linhu Village.

Lin Chen stood before the ancestral hall, looking at the faces below the steps—faces that had yet to shed their childishness but were burning with intensity.

The morning light slanted through the eaves, making the sweat beads on the youths' foreheads shine. His peripheral vision swept over Su Tong, who stood with his hands hanging down at the edge of the crowd; the thin youth was clutching the corner of his shirt, his spine held straight.

The day after he followed the instructor to Huizhou Prefecture, Su Tong's family had moved to Linhu Village. Su Tong's mother was in poor health, so the village chief arranged some simple sewing and mending work for her, while Su Tong learned martial arts in the ancestral hall alongside the youths of Linhu Village, with two meals provided a day.

He was leaving Linhu Village today, and the village chief, upon learning he was leaving, specifically asked him to come before the ancestral hall to encourage the youths of the village.

"What benefits can learning martial arts bring? I imagine your elders at home have already told you, and during this time, you have all seen my glory."

As soon as Lin Chen said these words, there was a light in the eyes of the youths present.

The reason they were learning martial arts was indeed because they had felt the glory of Big Brother Lin.

"Learning martial arts can bring honor to your ancestors, allow your family to live a good life, and let you rise in the world, but... learning martial arts does not stop there."

"Why did the founding emperor establish the policy of having the whole nation practice martial arts?"

"It is not only to give ordinary people a chance to get ahead, but also because of the scourge of the demon race."

"You should all know about the imperial court's document from these past few days; the sins the demon race has committed against our Jiangnan Dao and our Poyang County can be said to be too numerous to record."

"If we wish to no longer suffer such humiliation, only by having every youth of our Daliang be like a dragon can we succeed!"

"Learning martial arts is even more for the sake of protecting our homes and defending our country!"

"I look forward to learning of your growth through the village chief's letters."

Looking at these burning gazes, Lin Chen did not delay at all and turned to leave.
