Free Web NovelChapter 113: Chapter 101: Kill Qin Wushuang! Chen Xuan’s Fury
"AHH!"
Bloodcurdling, piercing screams erupted from Qin Wushuang’s mouth.
An immeasurable voltage coursed through his body.
The entire forest flickered with light.
After a long time.
Everything finally fell silent.
The dark clouds in the sky dispersed.
The light drizzle also seemed to disappear.
The forest was a ravaged mess, with a scorching smell rising from many spots.
The ground was cratered and uneven, with wisps of smoke occasionally rising from it.
Not far from Chen Xuan, a charred corpse, burned to a crisp, lay silently on the ground, motionless...
[You have killed an Evil Cult elder. Retribution points +6800!]
’A pity. I killed him too quickly!’
Chen Xuan sighed to himself.
’It was over before I even got to torture him!’
’This Lightning Dharma King talent is truly impressive!’
Unfortunately, it could only be used in overcast and rainy weather. Under normal conditions, while he could still generate some lightning, he couldn’t summon the might of the heavens. In such cases, its power was greatly diminished.
He had a feeling.
Even a True Qi Realm master would likely be burned to a crisp if they took a direct hit from that lightning dragon just now.
After all, that was the might of the heavens.
In xianxia novels, even cultivators at the Foundation Establishment or Golden Core stages had to resist it with all their might. How could a mere mortal withstand it?
Of course, perhaps a True Qi Realm master was equivalent to the Foundation Establishment stage?
"..."
Looking at the charred, mangled corpse, Chen Xuan didn’t linger and turned to leave.
’I need to find a method to condense True Qi as soon as possible. I can’t stay at the Ninth Layer of Gang Energy for too long.’
Chen Xuan mused to himself.
’But within the Twelve Alliances, the method for the True Qi Realm is probably only known to the Alliance Leader...’
Countless thoughts surfaced in his mind, only to vanish just as quickly.
...
「Early the next morning.」
The entire Twelve Alliances was in an uproar.
Countless people were shocked.
Qin Wushuang, the Grand Elder of the Left Vein, had been assassinated!
The news rocked the entire main alliance headquarters.
First thing in the morning, the main headquarters had sent out urgent messages to all the branches.
The four Foreign Affairs Envoys and the elders from every branch had all gathered.
Chen Xuan, of course, acted as if nothing was wrong, rushing over from the South City to the main headquarters.
In the great hall, Alliance Leader Luo Hongtian was in a furious rage. He practically pointed at and cursed out everyone present, smashing several tables in his anger.
Chen Xuan kept his head down, affecting an air of complete detachment, as if it had nothing to do with him.
Suddenly, a flicker of suspicion crossed his face, and he scanned the great hall.
’Why isn’t my teacher, Li Changsheng, here?’
’Is Old Deng unwell?’
After what felt like an eternity, Luo Hongtian finished his tirade, and the great hall erupted in discussion.
Chen Xuan turned and left, heading toward Li Changsheng’s residence.
But unexpectedly, Old Deng was not in his courtyard.
"Where did Elder Li go?"
Chen Xuan grabbed a disciple standing guard at the gate and asked.
"Replying to Foreign Affairs Envoy Chen, Elder Li is seriously injured and is being treated at the alliance’s Huichun Hall."
As soon as the disciple saw it was Chen Xuan, he immediately cupped his fist and spoke.
"Seriously injured?"
Chen Xuan’s expression froze. "What happened?"
"This lowly one doesn’t know the details. You’ll understand if you go see for yourself."
The disciple said immediately.
"Alright."
Chen Xuan confirmed the direction of Huichun Hall and turned to leave.
Before long, he arrived in front of a wide, thatched hall. Even from a distance, he could smell the strong, pungent scent of medicine. Many disciples were coming and going, carrying wrapped bundles of medicinal herbs.
Chen Xuan walked straight inside and soon encountered a familiar figure.
"Yunxing!"
Yunxing, who was busy nearby, quickly looked up. Her clear eyes, framed by messy strands of hair, lit up, and she said joyfully, "Senior Brother Chen!"
She rushed over, bringing a faint fragrance with her. Her expression suddenly turned grave as she whispered, "Master was injured. You need to be careful. Don’t show your face for the next few days."
"Where is he?"
Chen Xuan asked.
"He’s in the back hall, receiving Golden Needle acupuncture."
Yunxing whispered.
"Is it serious?"
"It’s more than serious. He almost died." freeweɓnovel.cѳm
Yunxing said grimly.
"Who did it? What exactly happened?"
Chen Xuan frowned.
’No matter how useless Old Deng is!’
’He’s still my master!’
"You have to stay calm..."
Yunxing said quickly, "It’s like this. After you left, Master had nothing to do and wanted to secure some more resources for you. But the alliance only has so many resources, and countless eyes are watching them, so Old Deng could only look for opportunities outside.
"A rumor came from somewhere that a Spirit Medicine had appeared in the neighboring Linshan County, so he went there... Unexpectedly, he ran into the deputy master of Iron Stone Castle, Jiang Tianxiong, the ’River-Flipping Dragon’."
"You might not know this Jiang Tianxiong, but you definitely know his disciple."
"It’s Xu Tong! The one you beat up on Black Dragon Mountain!"
"You shattered nearly every bone in Xu Tong’s body and basically crippled him."
"So because of that, Jiang Tianxiong has held a grudge against our Twelve Alliances ever since. This time, he ran into Old Deng when he was alone, and... he beat him up..."
At this, Yunxing sighed again and glanced toward the back courtyard.
"Sigh... Old Deng really suffered a huge loss this time. Not only was he beaten, but he was utterly humiliated. In front of everyone, Jiang Tianxiong forced him to kneel to his disciple, Xu Tong."
"I mean, what kind of person does that?"
"That Xu Tong is just a junior! How could he make our master kneel to him?"
"Old Deng’s qi and blood surged in anger, and he fainted on the spot. I almost didn’t make it back either. Luckily, they were only focused on humiliating Old Deng and didn’t dare to strike a truly fatal blow."
"Is that so?"
Chen Xuan’s face instantly darkened.
’What the fuck is this?!’
’I’ve been the hunter my whole life, but I’ve never been played like this!’
’Good. Very good!’
’Forcing a 120-year-old man to kneel to a junior in his early thirties?’
’So you like to play these games, Jiang Tianxiong?’
’Then I’ll just have to repay you a hundred, a thousand times over!’
"What else did he say at the time?"
Chen Xuan asked, his face cold as ice.
"There were a lot of other nasty things... I’d rather not repeat them..."
Yunxing said awkwardly.
"Repeat them!"
Chen Xuan’s tone was low and heavy.
"Yes!"
Yunxing shivered in fear and said, "At the time, Jiang Tianxiong also said, ’You’re kneeling on behalf of your disciple this time, but that doesn’t mean I’ve forgiven him. When you get back, tell your disciple to bind himself and come to me to apologize in person. If he doesn’t, then from now on, I’ll beat you every time I see you. I’ll make sure you, Li Changsheng, have no place left in this prefecture city.’"
"There were a lot of other people standing there, all mocking him. To humiliate Old Deng even further, he specifically pushed his head into the dirt, stepped on it with his foot, and even pissed on his head. Old Deng almost died from anger this time..."
"Good!"
A chill spread through Chen Xuan’s heart.
’I really need to go and meet this Jiang Tianxiong.’
"Is Jiang Tianxiong still in Linshan County?"
Chen Xuan asked coldly.
"He should be. That Spirit Medicine hasn’t been claimed yet, and it’s attracted a lot of powers. It’ll probably be a while before a clear winner emerges."
Yunxing quickly said, "Please, don’t be reckless... He’s at the Eighth Layer of Gang Energy, one layer higher than Master. I know your talent is exceptional, but just endure it for now."
"Endure my ass!"
Chen Xuan said bluntly, "Come on, let’s go check on Old Deng!"
’A mere Eighth Layer of Gang Energy dares to humiliate my master like this!’
’Perfect. I needed someone to get retribution points from anyway.’
’If I don’t make that man suffer a hundred, a thousand times more, I’ll have failed Old Deng completely.’
He immediately strode toward the back hall.
