Chapter 225: Chapter 159: Insta-kill the 9 Yang Saintly Body

"But since you’re the one asking, Young Hero Chen, we’ll do it free of charge. Your Alliance Leader Chu did indeed deliver the challenge to Heaven-Burning Valley, but Jiang Longyang hasn’t responded. To be more precise, the powers that be in the valley simply don’t care."

"They don’t care?"

Chen Xuan frowned.

"Correct."

Feng Sanniang chuckled softly. "According to my intelligence, Heaven-Burning Valley has specifically investigated you and is aware of your strength. They’re unwilling to take any risks. Even if Jiang Longyang could defeat you, they don’t want to take that chance."

"So he’s dead set on hiding in his shell like a coward?"

Chen Xuan’s brows furrowed.

"That, I can’t say for sure."

Feng Sanniang said with a light laugh.

"Chen Xuan, if he really intends to hide away in Heaven-Burning Valley, there’s nothing we can do..."

Mr. Zhuo, at his side, couldn’t help but try to persuade him.

The unspoken message was to just drop it.

"If there’s no way, we’ll make a way."

Chen Xuan said directly, "Shopkeeper Feng, I’d like to ask a favor of you."

"Go on."

"Spread the word for me. Just say that Jiang Longyang is scared of me, doesn’t dare to fight, and has chosen to hide like a coward."

Chen Xuan said coolly.

"You want to use the Provocation Skill?"

Feng Sanniang’s eyes lit up. She smiled and said, "For this matter, Young Hero Chen, you’ve come to the right person. Our Wind-Listening Tower’s network not only spans every corner of the Red Dust World, but we’ve also infiltrated some of the Grotto Heavens. We can spread the news for you free of charge, but we can’t guarantee it’ll actually draw him out."

"Don’t worry, just spreading the news is enough," Chen Xuan said.

"Consider it done. Leave this matter to me."

Feng Sanniang chuckled.

"Thank you."

Chen Xuan offered his thanks. Not staying any longer, he got up and left.

As expected.

The Wind-Listening Tower did indeed begin to disseminate the news on a massive scale.

Spirit Doves flew to all corners of the world as if they cost nothing.

The news began to spread quietly, not just throughout the Red Dust World, but also within some of the Grotto Heavens.

「Within Heaven-Burning Valley.」

Jiang Longyang had already changed into a brand-new, azure robe. He looked regal and elegant, his expression cold. Tall and imposing, he emanated an invisible, fiery aura.

Beside him was Dong Jianxue, dressed in pure white. Her features were exquisite, and she followed him closely, clinging to him like a delicate bird.

One walking ahead of the other, the two made their way toward the outside world.

Behind them, an elder at the True Essence Eighth Layer lay recently collapsed...

He had clearly been dispatched by the Sect Leader specifically to stop Jiang Longyang.

Unfortunately, Jiang Longyang had taken him down in a single exchange.

"It was a trivial matter. Why is everyone so tense? A flower raised in a greenhouse, no matter how well-tended, is ultimately useless if it never weathers a true storm."

Jiang Longyang’s tone was apathetic, his expression unruffled from start to finish. "I don’t get it. Why is everyone so worked up? You’re acting as if *he’s* the one with the Nine Yang Saintly Body."

"Perhaps that Chen Xuan is truly remarkable," Dong Jianxue said from beside him.

’She hadn’t expected Heaven-Burning Valley to personally send someone to tell Jiang Longyang not to leave. The only reason she’d been so serious with Jiang Longyang before was to scare him a little, to make him understand that she was always concerned for him. She would never have believed that Chen Xuan actually possessed the strength to threaten Jiang Longyang. After all, Jiang Longyang was a genuine, bona fide Nine Yang Saintly Body. Even if he fooled around with seven or eight women a day, his strength wouldn’t be affected. But now, she was starting to have her doubts. Could the Valley Master of Heaven-Burning Valley really think that highly of Chen Xuan? But why?’

One after the other, they walked toward the exit of Heaven-Burning Valley. As they passed through what seemed like an invisible curtain of water, faint ripples spread out from their bodies.

WHOOSH!

The sparse Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi from the outside world rushed toward them.

It made them both frown slightly, but they adapted quickly.

"Let’s go," Jiang Longyang said apathetically. "We’ll find this Chen Xuan, snuff him out, and come right back."

Dong Jianxue pressed her lips together. Without a word, she followed behind him.

...

Over thirty miles away, inside a Martial Alliance stronghold.

A freshly served hot pot billowed with steam, bubbling audibly.

Chen Xuan picked up a slice of lamb, which had curled up in the heat. He dredged it through the dipping sauce, stuffed the large bite into his mouth, and followed it with a scallion. The flavor was something else entirely.

"How is it? Good, right?"

"It’s delicious. Really good."

Mr. Zhuo nodded repeatedly, stuffing his mouth with huge bites of lamb.

Zhou Yuan, on the other hand, had barely touched his chopsticks.

His appetite was certainly whetted, but with his daughter having just passed away, he had to maintain some decorum. All he could do was swallow repeatedly as he watched Chen Xuan and Mr. Zhuo devour their food in front of him.

"Elder Chen, you truly know how to eat. How did you ever think to slice the meat so thin?" Mr. Zhuo said.

"Research! When you’ve got free time, you do lots of research!" Chen Xuan replied, his mouth full.

Just as he picked up another slice of lamb, he froze. He shot to his feet, and an invisible, fiery aura instantly exploded outward, filling the room with a RUMBLE.

"What is it?"

Mr. Zhuo and Zhou Yuan looked startled and quickly turned to Chen Xuan.

"He’s here!"

Chen Xuan quickly wiped his mouth, his voice turning icy. "The son of a bitch is out!"

He strode directly outside.

’In his mind, the Indestructible Fist Intent (Level 2) was flashing red like a bizarre tripwire alarm.’

’Excellent!’

’And to think I thought he wouldn’t show his face!’

"Jiang Longyang?"

Mr. Zhuo’s expression changed drastically, and he scrambled to follow.

Startled, Zhou Yuan also hurried after them.

WHOOSH!

Without a moment’s hesitation, Chen Xuan unleashed his Body Technique and tore off toward a location hundreds of miles away.

He was afraid the man would retreat into the Grotto Heaven again, just like a turtle pulling into its shell.
