Chapter Nine, Departure

Did I let you go? Stop right there!

What a pity

It seems that, despite being extremely strict with him and even expelling him from the Zhuo family, Zhuo Qingxu's father ultimately did so only to protect him, as blood is thicker than water

Stop!

Zhuo Feiyu narrowed his eyes, and the originally capture-focused technique suddenly transformed, becoming more fierce. He aimed to strike at the pipa bone of the opponent's right shoulder, intending to shatter it and incapacitate the arm.

Qingxu, your father has already sent a letter to Miss Fei. If you believe you will not bring shame and truly wish to conquer Lanyu Tong, go to Miss Fei to receive her training. With your talent, if you focus on your cultivation, you will certainly not be inferior to any inner disciple of the Hunyuan Tianzong!

The sharp sword hums softly

Zhuo Feiyu's expression turned stern as he suddenly reached out to grab Qing Xu fiercely

The person has been entrusted to you

Child of Chaos

Could it be that his level of chaos is also inherited from a certain child of chaos

Lan Yutong seemed to have finished narrating what she had just wanted to do. In the end, she respectfully cupped her hands in front of the elderly man.

Zhuo Feiyu scoffed, "Zhuo Fengyun and Zhuo Fenglei, how could they possibly be no match for you? You still need to team up with Fang You, Jin Wu, and even the mixed-element sect disciple Xuke Ren? Not to mention that Xuke Ren, a disciple of the mixed-element sect, and Jin Wu are both top-notch refining experts, but just the three of Fang You, Zhuo Fenglei, and Zhuo Fengyun—aren't any of them significantly stronger than you? Is it really necessary to join forces against you? One should be more pragmatic when flattering oneself; do you really think that just because you have achieved a certain level of cultivation, the Elder Council will go easy on you?"

Zhuo Feiyu shouted sharply and suddenly advanced, aiming to lock onto Qing Xu's cervical vertebrae.

... ...

Buzz!

Zhuo Feiyu shouted sternly, quickly blocking Qing Xu, while simultaneously yelling at the other two law enforcers at the Washing Marrow Realm: "What are you two standing there for? Take action and stop him for me."

This scene fell into Zhuo Shaoze's eyes, instantly causing a glimmer of unusual brilliance to flash in his gaze

It is nothing, Zhuo Fengyun and Zhuo Fenglai were eager to capture me. After failing to defeat me, they colluded with Fang You, Jin Wu, and the disciples of the Hunyuan Tianzong, including Xuke Ren, to surround and kill me. Yunqing intervened to prevent Xuke Ren from being harmed by his swordsmanship.

However, the so-called lack of cultivation is merely in the eyes of the Sunlit True Person. In reality, he is already a martial arts master who has achieved the Great Completion of Blood Transformation. It is just that his bloodline has been difficult to awaken, preventing him from condensing true energy, and he has been unable to transcend his mortal body and enter the Six Realms of Longevity. When Lan Yutong was about to personally come to Yunhuang City to cleanse his reputation, he was dispatched by the Sunlit True Person to protect her safety

Zhuo Shao's mouth was closed, and his voice resonated in Qing Xu's ear through a special method

However, before he could pounce and restrain Qing Xu from behind, the sharp sword in Qing Xu's hand had already unleashed a dazzling sword light, blocking the direction in which Zhuo Feiyu was about to strike. If he dared to take another step forward, he would undoubtedly collide with the blade of the sword and be injured by it.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Yang chuckled and said, "I was merely speaking casually; how could it possibly be the art of chaos? It is likely just a secret technique. As you mentioned, the sacred art is a legendary technique that can only be cultivated at the tenth level of chaos. Although there are quite a few children of chaos in the Eastern Wilderness, over ninety percent of them remain stuck at the first level throughout their lives, unable to make any progress, relying on their first-level comprehension or slight advantages in recovery... Treasures containing the essence of the Dao are exceedingly precious. Whenever such treasures appear in the world, they inevitably attract fierce battles. Even the powerful beings from the upper three realms of the Six Realms of Longevity will personally intervene. Therefore, those with higher chaos levels are either sect masters or elders of sacred lands. If an ordinary person possesses only a chaos level without formidable cultivation, they would have long been captured and tortured by those sect masters and elders, forced to reveal the methods to open their chaos temples, which would then be forcibly 'inherited' at their chaos level... Even if it is 'inherited' at the tenth level, there are still those at the fifth level, and many elders have chaos levels below the fifth level."

This is impossible! The Sacred Art is a method of the Chaos level, specifically the tenth tier. As far as I know, the highest Chaos level in the Eastern Wilderness is held by Dao Xuan, the master of the Creation Profound Gate, who is only at the sixteenth tier. If he were to inherit it, he would need to possess a Chaos level of at least the tenth tier, while the inheritor's Chaos level must reach at least the twentieth tier. Such a person cannot be found anywhere in the entire Eastern Wilderness.

Lan Yutong speculated

The old man appeared to be around sixty years old, yet he exuded an unfathomable aura. Even when standing before Lan Yutong, where others showed utmost respect, it could not conceal the unique presence of a strong individual that he possessed

Zhuo Shao observed Qing Xu retreating calmly under the encirclement of Zhuo Feiyu and two experts from the Law Enforcement Hall, and could not help but feel a surge of excitement: "It seems that Qing Xu has already reached the Bone Washing Realm, likely due to that Bone Washing Pill. Moreover, his combat ability is truly beyond my expectations... The fact that he defeated Zhuo Fengyun and Zhuo Fenglei might actually be true... If he had displayed such talent earlier, the clan leader would have already used that inner sect disciple token to send him to the Hunyuan Tianzong. Now, I wonder if it is still too late for him to turn shame into courage..."

The true Zhuoqing Market has already perished

Zhuo Shao moved his body and directly positioned himself in front of Zhuo Feiyu, perfectly intercepting Zhuo Feiyu's attack directed at Qing Xu

Hmph

The two law enforcement experts who received the command quickly surrounded and attacked, but Qing Xu's figure swayed and he had already extricated himself from the encirclement of the two. After a leap, he created distance between them. Zhuo Feiyu swiftly pursued, but before he could even exit the street, he had already lost sight of Qing Xu, causing his expression to turn quite grim.

Yuan Yang finished speaking and stood up: "Miss, there is no need to worry too much. I will personally deal with Zhuo Qingxu. You should focus your thoughts on the awakening of your bloodline. It is not worth expending energy on someone who is about to die."

Zhuo Feiyu, a senior member of the Law Enforcement Hall, is indeed recognized by him due to Zhuo Qingxu's profound fear of him

Miss, your decision is indeed very correct. Although Zhuo Qingxu has missed the golden age for cultivation and will have limited achievements in the future, no one knows whether this young man might encounter some opportunity that allows him to soar to great heights. There are countless examples in history of martial artists who were abandoned by others but rose to prominence. Especially in recent years, the extremely mysterious 'Chaos Temple' has been very active. In our Eastern Wilderness, there have been over a hundred individuals exposed as the 'Children of Chaos' from the 'Chaos Temple', not to mention those hidden in the shadows. Concluding matters early is indeed the best way to achieve a permanent solution.

Yunlin Building

Qing Xu glanced at Zhuo Shao Ze

As soon as the words of Qingxu were spoken, he turned and left

This elder, named Yuan Yang, is a servant of the Elder Zhuri Zhenren of the Hunyuan Tianzong. Due to his keen ability to discern the intentions of his superiors, he is highly valued by Zhuri Zhenren, even though his cultivation is lacking.

The Qingxu sword body trembled, immediately forcing Zhuo Feiyu to retreat. Taking this opportunity, he stepped back and said, "You few cannot keep me; this matter ends here."

"Wait a moment, Elder Feiyu, let me clarify what has happened. What is wrong with Miss Yunqing? Her injuries are serious! And you... this is a sword wound? Although you have committed a grave mistake, as long as you have not been truly stripped of your ancestral status, you will always belong to our Zhuo family. In Yunhuang City, no one dares to easily lay a hand on a member of the Zhuo family."

The Qingxu Sword's edge shifted and changed, no matter how Zhuo Feiyu altered his moves, he was always met with the Qingxu Sword's blade in a direct confrontation. The two exchanged blows back and forth, demonstrating several techniques. Although there had not been any substantial clashes, the expression of Zhuo Feiyu, an elder of the Zhuo family, quickly grew serious.

At this moment, in the deluxe guest room, Lan Yutong is conversing with an elderly man

Stop!

You ... ...

You dare to draw your sword against the elder

Qing Xu was too lazy to explain too much to Zhuo Feiyu. Zhuo Yunqing had already been delivered, and he no longer lingered, turning to leave.

One of the top restaurants in Yunhuang City, it boasts an astonishing influence, with branches already spread throughout the entire Loring Kingdom. It is said that 60% of the restaurant's annual profits are used to offer tribute to a true disciple of the Hunyuan Tianzong, in exchange for the protection of that true disciple, which has enabled the restaurant to establish its presence across the north and south of the Loring Kingdom.

Having spoken, he soared away with great agility

Qing Xu cast a glance at the elder who was speaking

Mr. Yuan, I am unable to intervene in this matter, so I can only entrust it to you.

Lan Yutong nodded slightly, feeling that she had overthought the matter. She then bowed slightly and said, "This matter must be conducted in secrecy, and it all depends on Mr. Yuan."

Hearing Yuan Yang mention this matter, Lan Yutong felt a sudden jolt in her heart: "Sir, just now, when Zhuo Qingxu was engaged in battle with Jin Wu and his junior sister Xu Keran, he forcibly elevated his cultivation level from the Washing Marrow realm to a level not inferior to that of the Refining Organs realm. It resembles the sacred technique that, according to legend, can only be practiced at the tenth level of Chaos. Could it be that... he fortuitously entered the 'Chaos Temple' and became a child of Chaos?"
