Bang!
The Kang Long Jian struck the face of the Divine Religion apostle squarely.
Pfft—
Blood splattered instantly, teeth flew out, and the sound of bone shattering could be heard.
The Divine Religion apostle was sent flying backward, falling to the ground lifeless.
Seeing a master, the other Divine Religion apostles attacked Yu Daohen together.
Yu Daohen was not flustered at all. A signature sinister smile appeared on his face. His left eye narrowed, and dozens of drops of Samsara Blood Tears flowed out, floating in the air. Then, he waved his hand.
The Samsara Blood Tears shot out like raindrops, quickly piercing through their bodies.
Chen Shanshui, who arrived later, saw this and his face turned solemn. He felt fortunate.
It was a good thing he hadn't acted earlier; this thing was truly insidious.
A single drop of this black liquid hitting the forehead meant certain death.
After dealing with these apostles, Yu Daohen looked at Shi Bingzhi and asked, "How is it, can you still walk?"
Shi Bingzhi nodded and smiled, "Just some superficial wounds, no big problem."
Seeing that he was fine, Yu Daohen also breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, asking, "Can you fight again?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Bingzhi hesitated.
Yu Daohen saw his hesitation and seemed to have thought of something. He glanced at Chen Shanshui, then at Shi Bingzhi, and said, "You go back to the inn and rest. I'll handle the rest."
Shi Bingzhi immediately understood what he meant and nodded, "Alright, I'll go back and heal. Call me anytime if anything comes up."
To be honest, he was looking for an excuse to not go, and Master Yu had just provided it.
Having one compass was already troublesome enough; adding another would be disastrous.
Especially when this compass was from the seventeenth level.
"Okay," Yu Daohen nodded.
Chen Shanshui, standing by, noticed their actions and frowned, but didn't think too deeply about it.
For him, it didn't matter whether Shi Bingzhi went or not.
As long as Yu Daohen went to help.
However, the actions of this young man named Shi Bingzhi were a bit strange.
Chen Shanshui was an old hand and had seen all sorts of people.
This young man seemed particularly wary of people from the Divine Religion, not out of fear, but out of avoidance.
Yu Daohen looked at Chen Shanshui beside him and said, "We can't delay any longer. Let's go help now."
Chen Shanshui nodded. With the assistance of another Black List expert, the Chen family would suffer far fewer casualties.
The two of them quickly ran towards the Chen family, while Shi Bingzhi returned to Chen Qiaorou's house.
On the way, Yu Daohen was now 100% sure that Shi Bingzhi had a compass on him.
He knew Shi Bingzhi's personality too well.
He wasn't afraid of death, nor was he afraid of people from the Divine Religion. But since he chose not to go, there was only one possibility.
He possessed something the Divine Religion wanted.
But which level of compass was it?
This point made him a little puzzled.
Wait!
Yu Daohen suddenly thought of something, his face filled with horror.
Could it be the compass from the seventeenth level?
If it really was the compass from the seventeenth level, then Shi Bingzhi was incredibly brave.
This was not the courage an ordinary person would possess.
Let alone others, even if this seventeenth-level compass were given to him, he would feel immense pressure.
Even as a Black List expert, he felt this way, let alone Shi Bingzhi.
Chen Shanshui saw Yu Daohen frowning, seemingly lost in thought, and asked, "Master Yu, I want to ask you something."
Yu Daohen looked at Chen Shanshui beside him, nodded, and said, "Patriarch Chen wants to ask if Chen Shanhe has colluded with the Divine Religion, right?"
Chen Shanshui nodded truthfully, "Yes, please tell me honestly, Master Yu, whether my elder brother has colluded with the Divine Religion. This is not something to be trifled with."
Seeing Chen Shanshui's serious expression, Yu Daohen nodded, "What I am about to say is the absolute truth. Chen Shanhe has indeed colluded with the Divine Religion."
Upon hearing this, Chen Shanshui became surprisingly calm and asked, "Does Master Yu have any evidence?"
Yu Daohen nodded and recounted the events that had just transpired.
Upon hearing this, Chen Shanshui fell silent, but he already had his answer.
Seeing Chen Shanshui's silence, Yu Daohen added, "Actually, Patriarch Chen must have already guessed it, haven't you?"
Chen Shanshui did not answer but said, "Thank you for informing me, Master Yu. I will definitely give the martial world an explanation for this matter."
He had thought carefully just now. The reason the Divine Religion could infiltrate the Chen family so quickly must have been due to a traitor from the Chen family.
And the only people who knew about the trap and all the subordinates were the top leaders of the Chen family, himself, and his elder brother.
Those few high-ranking officials had not left the Chen family these past few days, only Chen Shanhe's whereabouts were unknown.
Thinking about it this way, Chen Shanhe was the most suspicious.
And what Master Yu had just said didn't sound like a lie.
Elder brother, why did you betray the Chen family?
Was it just for the position of family head?
In fact, Chen Guojun's removal of Chen Shanhe from the position of family head was a test.
Chen Guojun knew that his time was running out, with at most two years left, and he had long intended to retire.
But what he was most worried about was the Chen family, especially Chen Shanhe.
Chen Shanhe was now a Black List expert and had the strength to guard the Chen family, but strength alone was not enough.
And this removal of his family head position was a test for him.
If he didn't make any moves in secret, he would have passed the test, and the Chen family could confidently hand over the reins to him.
If he failed the test, then perhaps he was truly unsuitable to be the head of the Chen family.
Understanding when to advance and retreat, and knowing what to gain and lose, that is what makes a qualified family head.
Strength could be secondary, but intelligence was crucial.
Otherwise, how could Chen Guojun have so carelessly stripped Chen Shanhe, a Black List expert, of his family head position?
This did not make sense.
Yu Daohen looked at Chen Shanshui beside him, a meaningful smile on his face, "Then I will also ask Patriarch Chen a question. I hope Patriarch Chen will answer me seriously."
Chen Shanshui immediately knew what Yu Daohen wanted to ask and said, "Master Yu wants to ask if there is any problem with this Yunyun Gu, or if any tricks have been played."
Yu Daohen nodded, "That's right. I hope Patriarch Chen can tell me the truth, otherwise, I really can't rest assured."
Yu Daohen's words were not unreasonable. His feud with the Chen family was not easily resolved.
Given the way the Chen family operated, he couldn't help but be suspicious.
Chen Shanshui immediately said, "It is normal for Master Yu to be suspicious of our Chen family's way of doing things, but I can guarantee that nothing has been tampered with in the Yunyun Gu."
"Oh, really?"
Yu Daohen grinned, but his eyes were fixed on Chen Shanshui, as if trying to discern whether he was telling the truth or lying.
Eyes often do not lie, especially when facing someone stronger than oneself.
Chen Shanshui nodded and explained, "I told my father about Master Yu needing the Yunyun Gu. My father did tamper with the Yunyun Gu, but Master Yu can rest assured, I have removed all those tampering. The current Yunyun Gu is guaranteed to have no problems!"
