Chapter 220 - 156: I’ll Handle Your Daughter’s Matter

Chapter 220: Chapter 156: I’ll Handle Your Daughter’s Matter

And the one who came was such a peerless prodigy!

The number one on the Human List, Chen Xuan!

He was actually at the True Essence Sixth Layer!

Even more terrifying than that Jiang Longyang of the Nine-Yang Saint Body, the one who devoured his daughter.

"E-Elder Chen, from this day forward, this old man’s life is yours!"

Zhou Yuan fell to his knees with a THUD, his voice trembling with emotion.

"Enough. Get up. I don’t have time for your melodrama!"

Chen Xuan waved a dismissive hand. "Where is the Taixu Sword Sect? Who was it that took your daughter?"

"The one who took my daughter was Zhao Yi, the son of Zhao Longshan, the Sect Leader of the Taixu Sword Sect."

Zhou Yuan quickly replied, "The Taixu Sword Sect is located on Azure Dragon Mountain, three hundred li from here."

"Let’s move out! Time to exterminate some bandits!"

Chen Xuan turned and left without a moment’s hesitation.

"Let’s go, Old Zhou."

Mr. Zhuo glanced at Zhou Yuan and spoke again.

’It was a good thing Chen Xuan saw this mission request.’

’If he hadn’t, this matter would have sunk without a trace.’

’As for the Alliance Leader...’

’His Lordship probably wouldn’t go head-to-head with Heaven-Burning Valley over a mere True Qi Realm elder.’

’Only when a prodigy like Chen Xuan spoke up would the Alliance Leader agree.’

’It just goes to show how important it is to know a ’benefactor’.’

’Then again...’

’Someone like Chen Xuan is truly rare in this world.’

’High strength, powerful talent, a strong sense of responsibility, and most importantly, he’s loyal and fears nothing!’

’He charges right into danger!’

’Who wouldn’t like a person like that?’

’Standing next to him, you feel like you wouldn’t have to worry even if the sky were falling.’

’For him, Zhuo Yun, to know Chen Xuan, it must be because his ancestors accumulated good karma for eight lifetimes.’

’I’ll have to send Luo Hongtian a gift later. It’s all thanks to him for introducing me to Chen Xuan. Otherwise, my life would have just stagnated...’

Mr. Zhuo thought to himself.

...

「At this very moment.」

「Taixu Sword Sect.」

The Sect Leader, Zhao Longshan, was a burly man who appeared to be in his fifties, but in reality, he was already over seventy years old.

Such was the power of a True Essence Realm master.

Even though he was only at the True Essence First Layer, he showed no signs of age.

He was full of vigor, like a dragon or a fierce tiger. His hair and beard were thick and jet-black.

Anyone who saw him would think that Zhao Longshan possessed immense longevity and could easily live for another eighty to a hundred years.

「In a certain room.」

A woman who had just been delivered the previous night was being held captive.

The woman was tightly bound, her eyes filled with hatred as she glared at Zhao Longshan and his son, Zhao Yi. Her gaze was sharp enough to devour them.

"The heavens are truly helping us, father and son."

Zhao Longshan sighed softly, his eyes fixed on the woman on the bed. "A woman born in a Yin year, Yin month, Yin day, and Yin hour. It’s usually incredibly difficult to find even one, yet this time we’ve found two in quick succession. Saint Son Jiang’s pill for next month is secured, and he might even reward us with something more valuable."

"It’s all thanks to Father’s brilliant strategy."

The tall young man at his side, Zhao Yi, smiled.

He was thirty-four, which wasn’t too old. If he put in a good effort this year, he might even make it onto the Human List.

’Once he was on the Human List, it would truly bring glory to his ancestors.’

’The ancestors of the Zhao family are watching over us.’

"By the way, Father, what should we do with this woman? If we untie her, she’ll kill herself at any moment, but keeping her pressure points sealed isn’t a long-term solution either."

the tall young man said.

’We can seal them for a day, but can we really keep them sealed for a whole month?’

’Eating and drinking will become a problem.’

"You’re right. This woman must be sent away tonight."

Zhao Longshan nodded. "I’ll go inform Elder Murong of Heaven-Burning Valley right now."

"Father, is there any news from the Martial Alliance? Do you think they’ll take this chance to retaliate?"

Zhao Yi followed him, suddenly asking with a nervous tone.

"Them?"

Zhao Longshan smirked. "Don’t worry. Heaven-Burning Valley has been refining Human Pills for a long time now. All the other powers turn a blind eye. Besides, the one who died wasn’t anyone important. The Martial Alliance won’t bother. At most, they’ll demand some compensation, and the matter will be dropped."

"Good, that’s a relief."

Zhao Yi let out a breath of relief and chuckled. "That Chen Xuan from the Martial Alliance is just too monstrous. Only twenty years old and already at the True Essence Third Layer. He’s even more of a prodigy than Jiang Longyang."

"Him?"

Zhao Longshan sneered. "Saint Son Jiang is at the True Essence Fifth Layer. What does that kid amount to? If we weren’t being cautious of the Martial Alliance and trying to avoid a complete fallout, Saint Son Jiang could have casually finished him off when he appeared before. He’s just lucky to have kept his dog’s life! Does he have any idea how big the gap is between him and Saint Son Jiang?"

"Is that so?"

A cold voice suddenly rang out.

BOOM! The wall exploded, sending dust and debris everywhere.

A scorching aura swept through the area.

Chen Xuan’s body appeared in the room like a fiery tornado, his eyes as cold as lightning. He stared directly at Zhao Longshan and said, "Say what you just said one more time."

"You!"

Zhao Longshan’s expression changed, a look of shock on his face.

’Who the hell is this?’

’How dare he barge into my Taixu Sword Sect?’

’Where are the elders and disciples guarding the gate?’

’Are they all blind?’

’To think someone actually broke into the residence of me, the Sect Leader!’

’This is outrageous!’

"You’re Chen Xuan?"

At his side, Zhao Yi cried out in shock, having been the first to recognize Chen Xuan.

Who among the younger generation didn’t know what Chen Xuan looked like?

"What? You’re that Chen Xuan? What are you trying to do—"

Zhao Longshan shouted angrily.

WHOOSH!

Before the words had even left his mouth, the scorching aura surged forward like a sea of fire, and a large hand had already clamped around his neck at an incredible speed, lifting him off the ground.

"You killed a member of my Martial Alliance and you’re asking me what I’m doing? You’ve got some nerve."

Chen Xuan’s tone was cold. "Your son captured Zhou Ling’Er, correct?"

PFFT!

With a casual wave of his hand, golden True Qi swept out.
