Chapter 22

Taking a step forward, Chen Xuan stood in front of Yan Jin.

Yan Jin was taken aback.

Seeing the two War Gods of the Holy Land again after three years, Yan Jin was still nervous, afraid that these two would harm her.

However, for some reason, when her master stood in front of her, she instantly felt the pressure from the two War Gods disappear.

“What is this? Master is using his aura to protect me.”

Yan Jin looked at her master’s back and felt that he was extremely tall and sacred. The feeling of being protected made her, who had lacked fatherly love since a young age, suddenly have the urge to hug her master from behind.

On the other side, Yu Rong and Long Kun looked at Chen Xuan with shock.

“Who is this person? To think he’s able to withstand the pressure of the two of us alone!”

“Long Kun, have you realized that this village is not as simple as it seems?”

“Yes. I’ve crushed half of Guizu Mountain with one foot, and this village is supposed to be in that half. Yet, the village is still intact although the mountains surrounding this village have all collapsed. Not even a speck of dust has drifted in.”

“There must be something wrong if things are this abnormal. Be careful.”

Yu Rong and Yan Kun slightly restrained their insufferably arrogant attitudes.

They were both smart and wouldn’t be so stupid as to make a move before figuring out the other party’s actual strength.

“Fellow Daoist, we have some personal grudges against Yan Jin. Please don’t interfere,” Yu Rong stood up and said.

“She’s my disciple. How can a master not care about his disciple?” Chen Xuan replied firmly, but he heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. As long as these two didn’t attack with their swords, it would be fine.

It would be best if they could solve the problem with reason.

“Disciple!”

Yu Rong and Yan Kun looked at each other and were shocked again.

They knew very well how proud Yan Jin was.

Ever since she was young, Yan Jin had never been convinced by anyone. Even the holy leader had wanted to conquer her, but in the end, not only did he not succeed, but she had managed to steal the holy artifact and escape.

Such a proud and rational girl had actually acknowledged a master?

“Since you’re here, you’re a guest. Come in and have a cup of tea. If there’s anything, we can slowly discuss it.”

Chen Xuan invited the two of them into the village.

Yu Rong and Long Kun hesitated for a moment, but they still went in.

However, the moment they entered the village, they were shocked once again.

The village was filled with the strong smell of herbs. They had been living in the Medicine God Valley since young, so their noses had been specially trained and were very sensitive.

They could easily determine what herbs were in the village just by closing their eyes and taking a deep breath.

Thousand-year fire Ganoderma.

Ten-thousand-year-old fleece-flower root.

Geocentric ice lotus.

Supreme-grade orchid chrysanthemum.

The two of them inhaled deeply, and these medicinal herbs appeared in their minds.

“The smell of herbs in this place is even stronger than that of the Medicine God Valley!”

The two were in disbelief.

As they walked forward, they suddenly noticed that the weeds in front of the small courtyard were all spirit-containing grass.

“That’s the spirit-containing grass. Such a plant only grows in places with dense spiritual energy. If it can grow here, could this village be a blessed land?”

Blessed lands were places that all the saint-level factions fought over.

The Medicine God Valley was located in a blessed land. In contrast, although factions like the Ziyang Sect were also powerful, their territory was not a blessed land.

“Look there,” All of a sudden, Long Kun pointed forward.

Yu Rong looked over and was once again dumbfounded.

“It’s divine almond wood. To think he’s using it to start a fire!”

Chen Xuan was using divine wood to start the fire.

Soon, tea was served. The two War Gods lifted the teacups and a wisp of celestial energy rose.

“This tea is extraordinary.”

Yu Rong was a scheming person. He secretly fished a tea leaf from the teacup and kept it. He didn’t dare to drink tea.

“It seems that we can’t take Yan Jin with us, but we’re here on the holy leader’s orders, so we can’t go back empty-handed. Let’s see if we can bring back the holy artifact.”

Yu Rong and Long Kun looked at each other and reached a consensus.

“Never mind the tea. Since you want to protect Yan Jin, the two of us will give you respect. However, the holy artifact that Yan Jin took from the sect has to be returned.”

“Holy artifact? Is it that the medicinal recipe?” Chen Xuan asked.

“Yes,” Yan Jin nodded.

Chen Xuan had thought that Yan Jin’s family was great and prosperous, but it turns out, it wasn’t that great either.

To think they were calculative to such an extent just for a flawed medicinal recipe. Rather, it would be strange if the family was great.

Knowing that the other party was here to look for the incomplete medicinal recipe in Yan Jin’s hands, Chen Xuan was extremely disappointed in them. However, since he had promised Yan Jin that he would protect her, he could only try to resolve the conflict between them.

He shook his head and said, “Since this is your point of conflict, I will write another medicinal recipe to resolve the conflict. What do you think?”

Without waiting for the trio to respond, Chen Xuan took out his brush and ink.

The brush danced on the paper as he quickly wrote.

“For a medicinal recipe, they forced a young lady to lose her father at a young age.”

“For a medicinal recipe, they forced a young lady to leave home alone.”

“For a medicinal recipe, they’re still pestering her even thousands of miles away!”

“This family is nothing more than this!”

At this moment, Chen Xuan was extremely displeased.

His emotions poured into the brush and landed on the paper, and his handwriting turned increasingly unconstrained.

He moved his brush quickly.

Free cursive style!

He filled up the entire piece of paper with words and even broke his brush.

It was evident how displeased he was.

After finishing writing the medicinal recipe, Chen Xuan handed it over and said indifferently, “Take it and go back to report.”

Even though he had written it on the spot, Chen Xuan was confident that this medicinal recipe from the system would not be any inferior to the one Yan Jin had.

“Yan Jin, send the guest off!”

After handing over the medicinal recipe, Chen Xuan returned to his room.

Outside the room, Long Kun took the medicinal recipe and glanced at it. He felt immediately felt that it was emitting a sense of disappointment, anger, and regret.

The emotions triggered the Great Dao of heaven and earth, forming a heavenly punishment that descended.

Boom!

The Great Dao rumbled and shattered Long Kun’s Dao heart.

“No!”

Long Kun was shocked.

The destruction of one’s Dao heart was a small matter. More importantly, the emotions on the paper had not disappeared.

The disappointment was overflowing. At the same time, the last stroke at the end of the medicinal recipe that went straight up seemed to be venting the displeasure in the writer’s heart.

When this emotion was unleashed, it was like the Great Dao beating his face wildly, and more like the messengers of death’s soul-hooking chain.

Boom!

Long Kun disappeared on the spot.

“What’s this?”

Yu Rong was scared out of his wits.

“Not only was Long Kun’s Dao heart shattered, but his physical body was also destroyed by the Heavenly Dao. He has died completely!”

Just a single medicinal recipe was enough to cause Long Kun’s death.

How terrifying was this?

Yu Rong was quite frightened, but he had also taken a look at the medicinal recipe just now.

Although he didn’t hold the medicinal recipe in his hand like Long Kun, he could still feel the displeasure between the lines of the cursive words on the medicinal recipe. He felt a sharp pain in his eyes as the truth of the Great Dao blinded his eyes.

“No, no, my eyes,” Yu Rong shouted.

He was blind!

“Let’s go!”

He stomped and quickly escaped.

Of the two War Gods that entered Dama Village, one was dead and the other injured when they left!

“So this, this is the master’s power!” Yan Jin was in a daze.

…

“Look, War God Yu Rong has come out.”

“Eh? How come only one of the two War Gods that entered Guizu Mouantian came out?”

“War God Yu Rong’s condition doesn’t seem right.”

“His eyes look like they’re bleeding. Is War God Yu Rong injured?”

“What about War God Long Kun?”

The disciples of the Medicine God Valley on the two warships were terrified.

“Let’s go, leave this place. Fast!”

Yu Rong’s eyes were still bleeding. He couldn’t care if the crowd could comprehend the situation and quickly gave the order.

With that, the two warships that had arrived majestically just now fled.

“He left?”

“I think I saw that only one War God come out, and he’s been blinded.”

“What happened after they entered the mountain?”

Outside of Guizu Mountain, those who had been paying attention to the Medicine God Valley’s actions were all shocked.

Two War Gods entered Guizu Mountain, but only one came out, and he was injured.

What did this mean?

This meant that there was definitely a big problem within Guizu Mountain.

“I’ve long heard that there’s an expert behind the Empress of the Wu Dynasty and that expert is in Guizu Mountain. Now, it seems that it’s most likely true. The expert is indeed in Guizu Mountain.”

Whoosh.

At this moment, the peerless beauty of the world, the Empress, arrived.

Xia Zhuyuan sneered when she saw Yu Rong running away, “It seems that the Medicine God Valley has already exchanged hands with senior Chen. For him to be able to leave alive is senior Chen’s special grace.”

“Let’s go and see senior Chen.”

Xia Zhuyuan and Zhang Mu entered Dama Village.

The villagers were familiar with the two of them.

They didn’t stop them, but Xia Zhuyuan still followed the procedure and asked Aunt Li to come out, “I’ll have to trouble you to inform senior Chen that Zhuyuan has come to pay a visit.”

“Let me tell you a secret. Xiao Chen has accepted a female disciple. She’s very beautiful. You have to work hard.”

Aunt Li gave Xia Zhuyuan a small provocation.

She had always been optimistic about Zhuyuan and Xiao Chen and was quite keen to pair them together.

Unfortunately, the two had so many interactions, yet no sparks were flying between them.

If this continued, it wouldn’t be strange if they became brothers instead.
