Chapter 909 The Apex of Body Forging
After much deliberation, it seemed that only a place like the Xuantian Cave Mansion could produce such powerful martial artists.
The elder before them was none other than the Mansion Lord of Xuantian Cave Mansion, Xuan Qing.
Xuan Feng was Xuan Qing's junior brother. The two had been cultivating in Xuantian Cave Mansion since childhood.
After Xuan Feng's life token shattered, Xuan Qing had been investigating his junior brother's whereabouts.
When Xuan Feng left the cave mansion, he hadn't told anyone what had happened. He had left in a great hurry!
Xuan Qing could only follow the clues bit by bit.
Xuan Feng was in charge of the external forces of Xuantian Cave Mansion. With Xuan Feng gone, he naturally spent a considerable amount of time searching.
Fortunately, heaven favors the persistent. Following the direction where his junior brother's aura had disappeared, he had indeed found some clues.
Luo Yanghong and Zu Chongshan!
Upon seeing these two junior disciples, Xuan Qing's anger flared up uncontrollably.
If they weren't his junior brother's successors, he would have already made a move.
After questioning them about what had happened, Xuan Qing rushed to Qingzhou City to find Chen Yang.
As for Luo Yanghong and Zu Chongshan, he had arranged for them to go to the Zhou family.
Xuan Qing looked at the mysterious woman before him, naturally sensing her power.
What felt eerie to Xuan Qing was that he couldn't discern the origin of this mysterious woman.
While a martial artist's age might not be easily discernible, at Xuan Qing's level, he had seen countless martial artists in his lifetime.
Although prodigy martial artists could reach the peak of the Grandmaster realm at a very young age, they lacked experience. Standing before him, they would still be nervous.
Furthermore, the auras of these prodigy martial artists would not be very stable.
These were all Xuan Qing's accumulated experiences, and he had a keen eye for people.
Yet, this mysterious woman before him, hovering in the air, had an incredibly stable aura.
Even when faced with his powerful mental energy burst, she remained unfazed.
This was truly remarkable!
"Girl, what is your relationship with Chen Yang?" Xuan Qing's brow furrowed, his internal energy suddenly surged, causing his clothes to ripple.
This villa belonged to Chen Yang, and this woman had emerged from the villa. Xuan Qing was naturally wary.
At this moment, Chen Shu had also guessed the other party's identity: "My name is Chen Shu. If I'm not mistaken, you're from Xuantian Cave Mansion?"
"Are you here to exact revenge for that person named Xuan Feng?"
Chen Shu hid nothing, even voicing her speculations.
Hearing this, Xuan Qing's forehead veins bulged!
As expected!
His junior brother's death was indeed related to this villa!
Just as Xuan Qing was about to attack, Chen Shu slowly shook her head and sighed with a hint of helplessness, "If only you had arrived a little sooner!"
"If you had come just a few days earlier, perhaps he wouldn't have died."
"On that day, Chen Yang and I were severely injured trying to save him. Even with several War Gods present, it was beyond our power to bring him back!"
"Xuantian Cave Mansion is so powerful, why couldn't you have arrived earlier?"
Xuan Qing, who had been contemplating how to destroy the villa before him, froze.
What did she mean?
This girl Chen Shu implied that her junior brother's death had nothing to do with them.
However, the information he had received from Luo Yanghong and Zu Chongshan was that his junior brother had come to this villa specifically to save his two disciples, but was eventually surrounded and attacked by Chen Shu and others.
After that, there was no further news.
"Girl, do not try to deceive me. My junior brother's two disciples have told me the entire sequence of events. My junior brother's death is undeniably linked to you and Chen Yang!"
"No matter what clever words you use today, I..."
Before Xuan Qing could finish speaking, Chen Shu interrupted him.
"Senior, your words are rather hurtful. Xuantian Cave Mansion even deployed a peak Grandmaster to compete for Yangyangyang Company."
"We only acted in self-defense, and we never intended to kill indiscriminately from beginning to end."
"Two War Gods were present throughout the entire incident. Even if you don't believe me, surely you believe those two War Gods?"
Xuan Qing took a deep breath and asked through gritted teeth, "Which two War Gods are you referring to?"
"One of them is naturally the North Xuan War God, who is in charge of Qingzhou affairs. The other is the East Cang War God."
"Besides these two, there were also numerous Grandmasters from Modu. They had come with Luo Yanghong and Zu Chongshan at the time. Even if you don't believe the two War Gods, surely you believe the Grandmasters from Modu?"
Xuan Qing was well aware of the commotion Luo Yanghong and Zu Chongshan had caused in Modu. Now, Chen Shu offering a completely different account made him doubt.
Could it be that his two junior disciples had lied to him?
However, Xuan Qing suddenly thought of something. From Chen Shu's words, he had gleaned another piece of information.
This Chen Shu knew how his junior brother had died!
"Let's hear what this girl has to say for herself," Xuan Qing mused, then asked, "What happened to my junior brother afterward? He was a peak Grandmaster. You and that Chen Yang are likely not weak, plus the East Cang and North Xuan you mentioned, that's a total of five peak Grandmasters!"
"What kind of incident occurred that led to my junior brother's demise?"
Xuan Qing knew the origins of East Cang and North Xuan and had no doubts about their combat capabilities.
Those two accursed junior disciples had also spoken of Chen Yang's extraordinary strength.
Under such circumstances, who could have injured Chen Shu and Chen Yang, repelled East Cang and North Xuan, and ultimately taken his junior brother's life?
One peak Grandmaster, and another peak Grandmaster who had completed body forging!
Moreover, being a martial artist trained by Xuantian Cave Mansion, they were not individuals that could be easily ambushed.
When Chen Shu heard this, she knew that a seed of doubt had been planted in the elder's mind, and she just needed one final blow: "May I ask if you've heard of a name, Saint Moon Divine Venerable!"
When Chen Shu and Chen Yang had dealt with Xuan Feng Venerable, they had anticipated that Xuantian Cave Mansion would seek revenge.
After all, Luo Yanghong and Zu Chongshan had escaped.
Fortunately, no one knew what had happened at the time, not even North Xuan and East Cang had witnessed it firsthand; they only had a suspicion.
Afterward, Chen Yang had intentionally or unintentionally mentioned the Saint Moon Divine Venerable and Xuan Feng Venerable to North Xuan and East Cang.
Although he hadn't stated it explicitly, the two War Gods, North Xuan and East Cang, were not fools and naturally understood the hidden meaning in Chen Yang's words.
It was beneficial to absolve themselves while placing the blame on the Saint Moon Divine Venerable.
