Chapter 119: Shock Across All Sides

The sky was just beginning to brighten.

Inside the chaotic ruins of the Xishan Taoist Temple, no sooner had the figure of Yang Simin vanished than another figure descended from the sky.

Li Qingyan was startled, but when she saw the face of the newcomer, her guarded nerves finally relaxed.

"Assistant Lin, why are you here?"

Lin Su was wearing a black tracksuit that outlined her well-proportioned figure; she did not answer Li Qingyan's question, but instead looked at Chen Che with a complex expression.

Lin Su had actually arrived long ago, only one step behind Chen Che and Li Qingyan.

Li Qingyan had not yet fulfilled her agreement to go to Jinling, so Ma Zijun could not allow anything to happen to her, and thus he had ordered Lin Su to protect Li Qingyan in secret.

If the situation developed beyond control, she was to forcibly take Li Qingyan away.

She was a Martial Artist cultivated by the Ma Family, serving as an assistant to protect Ma Zijun's safety at his side, and her realm was also that of an Innate Master.

Therefore, even if she were not a match for Luo Tianxiang, she could still manage to escape with Li Qingyan.

But she did not do so; to be precise, Chen Che had not given her the chance.

Lin Su had witnessed the entire battle between Chen Che and Luo Tianxiang; as a Martial Artist, she was very clear about the gap between the two, yet Chen Che had exceeded her expectations time and time again.

The earth-shattering moves of the Vajra and the silver-white giant snake at the end had dealt a significant shock to her heart!

She had previously complained to Ma Zijun that Chen Che was arrogant and conceited, but after this encounter, she had to admit that Chen Che indeed had the capital to be arrogant.

Lin Su collected her thoughts and bowed slightly, making a gesture of respect toward Chen Che for the first time; before this, among the younger generation, she had only ever shown respect to Ma Zijun.

"Mr. Chen, please forgive me for standing by; in that situation, if I had intervened, I fear I would only have brought trouble to you, sir."

Lin Su spoke with a sincere tone, being very careful. She knew clearly that with Chen Che's realm, he must have discovered her long ago.

Chen Che exhaled a breath of turbid air, the suppression of the restless poison in his body nearing its end, and said nonchalantly: "I guessed Ma Zijun would have you follow; I accept the gesture, thank him for me."

Lin Su looked ashamed and asked with concern: "How are your injuries?"

"They are already healed, but I need to get a good sleep."

Li Qingyan answered in his stead, while simultaneously putting away the Ghost Gate Needle.

Lin Su stepped forward, bent down to support Chen Che's arm, helped him up, and said respectfully: "I will escort you and Divine Doctor Li back."

Chen Che nodded, remembered something, and said: "There is one more thing I need your help with."

"Please, just give your orders," Lin Su said.

Five minutes later, the Xishan Taoist Temple was engulfed in a great fire, the flames completely illuminating the dawn sky.

The figures of the three, Chen Che, vanished into the firelight.

Qibao Association.

The Great Red Sun Poison in Chen Che's body was successfully suppressed; at the same time, his body fell into exhaustion and weakness, and as soon as he returned to the Qibao Association, he fell into a deep sleep.

Upon receiving the news, Cheng Kexin, Cheng Kexiang, and Qian Rongrong rushed over in a flurry.

They gathered around the bed with faces full of worry and concern, gazing at Chen Che's sleeping face, as if only by doing this could they feel at ease!

Seeing the three women looking as if they were about to cry, Li Qingyan felt both angry and amused, and she chided Cheng Kexin for not knowing how to care for herself as well.

As a result, Cheng Kexin simply rolled her eyes at her and continued to stare blankly at Chen Che's sleeping face.

Helpless, Li Qingyan shooed the three of them out, and she also left the room to let Chen Che rest in peace.

"How is it? Was the Xishan Taoist Temple really wiped out?"

Under Shen Qi's arrangement, the group arrived in a spacious room.

No sooner had they sat down than Cheng Kexiang asked impatiently.

Li Qingyan nodded and said: "Not a single one was left at the Xishan Taoist Temple, and I even set a fire; it should be on the news very soon."

Hearing this, everyone present was shocked.

The people present knew exactly what kind of existence the Martial Arts Alliance was; even Cheng Kexiang, who knew the least, knew from the reactions of the others that it was a very formidable organization.

Yet, an organization like that had actually been slaughtered by Chen Che alone, leaving no one behind!

How powerful must one be to accomplish such a feat!

"I just knew Chen Che could do it; he has always been able to bring me surprises!"

Cheng Kexiang jumped up, her face full of pride and joy.

"Sir's strength is beyond doubt; I was very worried before, but now it seems my worry was unnecessary. In this world, there is no one who can kill Sir!"

Even though she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Qian Rongrong had already begun to imagine the scene of Chen Che fighting at the Martial Arts Alliance, her face brimming with an expression of worship.

"It seems this little junior brother of ours is even more powerful than we imagined."

Cheng Kexin was relatively calm, but joy and pride still appeared unconsciously between her brows.

Li Qingyan laughed: "Of course, if you had seen that final move with your own eyes, you would be even more shocked!"

"Master even slaughtered his way through the Martial Arts Alliance?"

Shen Qi was dumbfounded, still unable to recover from the shock just now.

He pinched himself... it hurt a little; it was real!

"The Martial Arts Alliance, which even the Inspection Bureau couldn't handle, was settled by Master in one night?! And he burned it down and left no one behind, my God! How many good deeds did I, Shen Qi, do in my past life to be able to follow such a Master in this one?!"

Shen Qi was beside himself, somewhat excited and at a loss.

"Oh, right."

After the shock, Cheng Kexin was the first to regain her reason and asked: "Did Luo Tianxiang admit that he killed our little junior brother's father? Also, was the evidence of the Zhang Family colluding with Du Chuan and Luo Tianxiang found? And what is the refining method for that kind of Pill?"

Hearing this, Cheng Kexiang, Qian Rongrong, and Shen Qi also calmed down and looked at Li Qingyan one after another.

Li Qingyan said slowly: "It was Luo Tianxiang who did it, but he was not the one who gave the order. As for the evidence and the production method of the Pill, we obtained them, but the production method is very tricky and involves the means of the Mysterious Gate Dunjia Technique; we might need the Fourth to help."

"The Fourth...?"

Cheng Kexin realized: "Fourth Senior Sister!"

Li Qingyan nodded, noncommittal.

"Since Luo Tianxiang was acting under orders, then the one who wants to kill the master's father is the headquarters of the Martial Arts Alliance. So, where is this headquarters?"

Shen Qi asked.

"In Jinling..."

Li Qingyan pinched her forehead; she was also feeling a bit sleepy. "These things aren't important for now. The fire at Xishan Taoist Temple will soon be on the news. Once the Zhang Family and Du Chuan find out, they will definitely take action. We should think about how to deal with them first..."

While the few were discussing countermeasures, Lin Su received a call from Ma Zijun and went to the lobby to welcome him.

Accompanied by Lin Su, Ma Zijun first went to Chen Che's room to check on him, and then the two came to the window at the end of the corridor.

"Did Chen Che really take down Xishan Taoist Temple?" Ma Zijun couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, he did it alone."

Lin Su nodded, and even went out of her way to emphasize that she hadn't made a move, and that Chen Che had done it all by himself.

Ma Zijun leaned against the wall, his heart filled with shock: "I never imagined he could actually do it!"

"I didn't expect it either. Mr. Chen is far more powerful than we imagined. Not only does he understand pharmacology, but his Martial Dao Cultivation is even above mine."

Lin Su said objectively.

Hearing how Lin Su addressed Chen Che and what she said, Ma Zijun was shocked once again.

"His Martial Dao Cultivation is above yours?!"

Ma Zijun's face was full of disbelief: "You were raised by the Ma Family since you were a child, breaking through to the True Person Realm before the age of twenty, and in the five years since, you've soared all the way to Innate Master.

Not to mention your peers, even looking at the entire circle of Martial Artists, there are few with your level of talent. And now you're actually saying that Chen Che's strength is above yours?!

But he's only twenty-five years old, even half a year younger than you!"

Lin Su recalled the battle from last night, a smile of shame appearing on her face: "Young Master, my talent isn't even worth mentioning in front of him. Moreover, he has secret techniques at his disposal, and his control over True Qi is so meticulous that I cannot even comprehend it."

Ma Zijun's hands trembled slightly. Although he was not a Martial Artist, he had been protected by various experts since childhood and had seen countless masters. He was very clear about the weight of Lin Su's words, and at the same time, he was shocked beyond measure once again.

"It seems that the biggest gain from this trip to Shanghai is indeed Chen Che. I am truly so lucky!"

Ma Zijun sighed with emotion, while his heart was filled with incomparable joy.

"You are right, Mr. Chen is indeed someone worth the Ma Family going all out to support."

Lin Su said.

Ma Zijun looked at her and teased with a smile: "Didn't you complain to me before that I was too invested in him and wouldn't get the value I wanted in return? Why have you changed your mind now?"

Lin Su gave a shameful smile and said: "I was blind before. I believe that if you could see the battle between Mr. Chen and Luo Tianxiang last night with your own eyes, you would be even more firm in your thinking, and might even be anxious that Mr. Chen wouldn't think highly of the Ma Family."

"The one who is anxious and uneasy now is not me."

Ma Zijun looked out the window and smiled: "The Zhang Family and Du Chuan will soon know about the big fire at Xishan Taoist Temple. In their panic and fear, they will definitely take action. I suspect this is also the reason why Chen Che asked you to help set the fire."

"I am already starting to look forward to how Mr. Chen will handle the Zhang Family and Du Chuan."

Lin Su spoke calmly, yet her face was full of anticipation.

Ma Zijun also had a look of longing, his eyes flashing with a strange brilliance: "I believe that this time, he will definitely bring the most incomparable shock to the entire Shanghai!"
