Novel Full Chapter 192: Has He Gone Crazy?
“You? You’re fourteen years old?”
The young boy looked Yun Lu up and down. He could not believe that this girl, who looked at most eight or nine, was actually fourteen already. And what’s more, she wanted him to call her older sister?
Did she take him for an idiot?
“Girl, I am the twelfth elder of the Divine Light Sect, Chen Yan. My father is the sixth elder of the Divine Light Sect, Tuo Kong. If you join us, then you’re joining the Divine Light sect, and so you can become a part of the Divine Light Sect. You will enjoy the highest level of training that the Divine Light Sect has to offer,” the middle-aged man said to Yun Lu with a laugh.
Chen Yan was the twelfth elder of the Divine Light Sect, a mid Primal Core adept.
His father was the sixth elder of the Divine Light Sect, a late Connate stage adept. He was currently stationed in the Yuntai Inn, which was a business owned by his father.
When he was outside today, he saw the girl before him on the road. Upset, she had been fighting to protect herself and displayed her abilities that reached the ultimate Connate stage, which immediately struck him dumb.
How could a girl who did not look even ten years old yet be an ultimate Connate stage adept?
Was she joking?
This utterly defied everything he had known up to this point.
Even that mysterious evildoer, Zhou Donghuang, whom he had heard about a year ago, could not have been this skilled at such an age.
At that time, since Chen Yan had first seen Yun Lu, he had tried to worm his way into being friends with her. Subconsciously, he thought that Yun Lu had to be the child of one of the other four great sects in Ziyun, she definitely had to have some other important person backing her… but as he questioned her to find out, she said that she had no teacher and furthermore did not even know what it meant to have a master.
In that short time, he grew flustered trying to figure it out and just captured the girl and forced her to come back to the Yuntai Inn to see if she would join their sect or not.
Afterwards, if his son could take this girl as his wife, then his descendants could raise the status of the Divine Light Sect… If this girl who was not yet ten could be a Connate stage adept, would it be possible for her to break into the Dharma stage in the future?”
“The Divine Light Sect?”
When the middle-aged man had captured and taken her to the Yuntai Inn, Yun Lu panicked. Bewildered and unsure of what to do, she immediately broke the jade tablet her brother had given to her in fear. Afterwards, she relaxed completely because she knew that her brother would not let anything happen to her.
Now, as she heard Chen Yan’s words, her eyebrows knit. “My older brother told me that he was going to the Divine Light Sect while on this trip to the Shenguang Empire. Are you a member of the Divine Light Sect?”
After she asked this, Yun Lu’s gaze brightened up.
“Big brother?”
Hearing Yun Lu speak, Chen Yan was stunned, as he finally realized that he had been too impulsive before. Hearing that the girl did not have a master, nor knew what having a master meant, he had not asked the girl if she had any relatives with her; he had just taken her back here.
It had been as if Chen Yan had lost all reason in that moment.
It was because, in his eyes, Yun Lu was like the greatest, most precious treasure in existence. In that time, he did not want the precious treasure Yun Lu was to be discovered by anyone else.
Thus, he seized her and brought her back here as soon as he could.
Just then, while Chen Yan was stunned, Yun Lu had already lifted her head and was looking at the space beside Chen Yan and his son. She looked excitedly toward the youth high in the air there and called out, “Big brother! Big brother! Here I am!”
Whoosh!
In that instant, Chen Yan’s expression twisted, and his body broke into a cold sweat.
Was there someone behind him?
Had he actually not realized?
Chen Yan panicked and hurriedly rose from his seat. It was only when he turned around that he noticed the youth wearing a snow-white robe, stepping down from the air with a leap. All around his body milky-white of inner Yuan enveloped him. Clearly, this man was also a mid Primal Core adept like him.
The most important thing was that the face of the man in the white robe was handsome and his demeanor dignified; he seemed extremely young, at most twenty years old.
“I thought that something had happened to you, kid.”
Zhou Donghuang stepped down and looked at Yun Lu, rubbing her small head affectionately.
Just now, when Yun Lu had broken the tablet, he had thought that some danger had befallen her.
It was only when he got here that he finally realized that his little sister was in no danger at all.
There were simply some people interested in his sister’s talent, who wished for her to train under them.
“Hee hee… Big Brother, I was scared out of my wits just now too, I thought this old guy wanted to do something bad to me.”
Yun Lu giggled, sticking out her tongue playfully.
Hearing Yun Lu speak, the corners of Chen Yan’s mouth twitched involuntarily… this silly girl had been thinking all that. That he would harm her? That he, Chen Yan, was a pedophile!
“As long as you’re fine, that’s all that matters.” Zhou Donghuang laughed warmly. “Big Brother is all done with what he had to do here… so now, I can take you to stroll around the Divine Light Sect.”
“Okay! Okay!”
Yun Lu nodded excitedly and looked toward Chen Yan and his son and called out to them, “Hey! Uncle, Little Brother, aren’t you two Divine Light Sect members? Do you want to go with us to the Divine Light Sect?”
Yun Lu knew that Zhou Donghuang had not been to the Divine Light Sect before, therefore her asking Chen Yan was also so that he could show them the way.
Zhou Donghuang did not stop her.
He had initially planned to have the man in charge of the Black Market, the Divine Light Sects third elder, Tuo Ku, show him the way. If there was someone else who could show the way, then he would not need to go and find Tuo Ku again.
“No problem,” Chen Yan agreed, looking at the pair of siblings with great curiosity. The older brother seemed at most twenty years old but was already a mid Primal Core adept while the younger sister, who looked no more than ten years old, was already an ultimate Connate stage adept.
Who were they, really?
“Son, will you stay here at the Yuntai Inn or will you go back to the Divine Light Sect with Dad?” Chen Yan asked the boy beside him.
“Dad, I will go back with you.”
The boy was Chen Yan’s only son, Chen Yong. The entire time, his eyes had not left Yun Lu for a second. Bashful, the boys’ tender cheeks blushed from time to time.
Realizing this, Zhou Donghuang felt somewhat at a loss for words.
Had this little kid taken a liking to his sister?
“Young man, what is your name?” After the gold-crowned eagle, Little Gold, carried the four people to the Shenguang Empire capital, Chen Yan could not help his curiosity.
“Zhou Donghuang.”
“Zhou… Zhou Donghuang?!” Chen Yan could not could help but be struck dumb. After a moment, he came back to his senses and laughed wryly as he shook his head.
“I should have known… A man within the Ziyun planet this young and with this level of expertise, who else could it have been, but you?
“You know me?” Zhou Donghuang asked with a raised eyebrow.
“Brother Donghuang,” Chen Yan said with a sigh. “At the present moment, aside from a few Divine Light Sect disciples from whom the information has been withheld, basically everyone there knows who you are… once information of you, especially your fight with the third elder, and your victory over him the first time you came, got back to us, it shocked and shook everyone who heard it.”
Chen Yan sighed lamentably, the astonishment in his eyes still remaining.
“Brother Donghuang.”
Suddenly, Chen Yan seemed as though he had remembered something, and his expression became grave. “In the past, my father, the fifth elder, and the eight elder went to your home country. They were investigating the place the tenth elder Lin Hantian had last been seen, which was there… now, many people suspect it. Did Lin Hantian die at your hand?
“He died by my hand,” Zhou Donghuang said blamelessly, with utter calm.
“You… You killed the tenth elder?”
Chen Yong’s eyes widened, and he looked at Zhou Donghuang just as if he had seen a ghost. Although he was only twelve years old, even he knew the position of the tenth elder Lin Hantian within the Valley of the Medicine Masters, and he knew even more about Lin Hantian’s grandfather, that he was one of the Divine Light Sect’s Golden Essence elders.
However, the small boy was still only a child after all.
Although he was shocked, there was a deep look of admiration on his face.
What was an idol?
This was just what an idol was!
Not only had he had killed Lin Hantian, he moreover admitted to it so indifferently, showing his complete disrespect for that particular elder of the Divine Light Sect.
“Ss!——”
After being struck dumb by Zhou Donghuang’s answer, Chen Yan gasped, his eyes flickering with bewilderment. He couldn’t help but laugh bitterly as he said, “Brother Zhou Donghuang, you’ve really caused quite the mess!
“You should know… Lin Hantian was not just the tenth elder of our Divine Light Sect. His grandfather, Lin Jue, is one of the three great Golden Essence elders. I fear Master Lin Jue will not take this lying down.”
Chen Yan honestly thought that there would be some dread in the young man before him after he said this.
He never expected the youth’s unaffected answer of “yes.”
“Lin Hantian has died. Aside from Lin Jue not letting it go… is there anyone else who won’t take it lying down?”
After Zhou Donghuang asked this, his gaze deepened, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Before he could leave the Ziyun planet, he needed to make sure all those who would threaten his family were eradicated!
Whoever emerged and posed a threat would die!
“Master Lin Jue will of course react most vehemently… other than that, there are also Lin Jue’s various disciples.”
Chen Yan did not know why Zhou Donghuang had suddenly asked this, however, he answered him.
“Understood.”
Zhou Donghuang nodded.
“Brother Donghuang, why have you come to our Divine Light Sect this time? Is it to have a conversation or is it to take a stroll around?” Chen Yan asked.
“I originally came just to see the head of the Divine Light Sect… however, there are now some other matters I must attend to,” Zhou Donghuang said simply.
As they approached the Divine Light Sect, Chen Yan realized what the main matters the young man before him had to do were.
“Do me a favor and look after Little Lu for a moment.”
Just as they reached the Divine Light Sect’s door, Zhou Donghuang bid farewell to Chen Yan with a holler and directly flew off. In an instant, he stood in the air over the Shenguang Peak.
Before Chen Yan, the twelfth elder of the Divine Light Sect could even react, Zhou Donghuang, who was already building inner Yuan, called down toward the Divine Light Sect, his voice blaring.
“I killed Lin Hantian… all those who want to avenge him, come on out.”
As soon as Chen Yan heard Zhou Donghuang’s words, he immediately went numb. It felt as if a frigid chill had rushed up from his toes and gone directly to his head, shaking him to his very core.
“Oh god!”
Was this fellow Zhou Donghuang crazy?
This was Chen Yan’s first time seeing this kind of fearless, unruly person, especially from a youth appearing no more than twenty years old.
Was he aware that he was provoking the entire Divine Light Sect in doing this?
If Zhou Donghuang had gone and admitted his murder of Lin Hantian in private, he may have gained some powerful person to support him, and so Lin Jue would not dare be rash in his actions.
However, now, with this one sentence, Zhou Donghuang had forced not just Lin Jue but the entire Divine Light Sect against him, down a road of no return!
