Chapter 7385
Lü Wenhou's Breakthrough
Given the New Martial Arts Association's vengeful nature, they will absolutely not let this go!
But no matter what, the Western Martial Arts Army will stand firmly on Xiao Chen's side!
"I must report to the central government immediately... Right now, perhaps only that person can protect Mr. Xiao," Zhuang Yuan thought to himself.
On the martial arts stage, just as Xiao Chen was about to turn and leave, a member of the New Martial Arts Association below, whether blinded by fear or clinging to a sliver of hope, suddenly shouted in a trembling voice, "Xiao Chen! You...you've committed a terrible crime! The New Martial Arts Association will never let you get away with this!"
Xiao Chen paused, slowly turned to the side, his gaze sweeping like a cold blade towards the source of the voice, his tone icy and piercing: "If you are resentful, you are welcome to come up on stage. I will allow you to attack together... I will give you three breaths."
The entire venue fell into a deathly silence; even the sound of breathing seemed to disappear.
Three breaths passed in the blink of an eye.
No one dared to move!
Who would dare to step forward? Those two killing gods on the stage are like Asuras from hell; to step forward would be to commit suicide!
Seeing this, Xiao Chen curled up a disdainful sneer, lightly touched the ground with his toes, and flew out of the venue like a wild goose.
"Extreme Yin, let's go."
The calm voice fell, and not only the members of the New Martial Arts Association, but also Zhuang Yuan and others remembered the name.
Extreme Yin... This name is destined to shake the entire martial arts world of the Dragon Kingdom soon!
However, after searching through the list of the top 100 on the Celestial Ranking, they found no powerful individual named "Extreme Yin".
……
Meanwhile, deep in the Zhongnan Mountains.
Dozens of black-robed warriors sat cross-legged in the frozen snow valley, closing their eyes and cultivating in a calm and focused manner.
They are waiting.
Although the gray-robed elder had agreed to stay and oversee the Lü family and had even taken Lü Wenhou as his disciple, he did not set off immediately. Instead, he led Lü Wenhou into a hidden stone chamber.
No one knows what happened inside the stone chamber. All that can be heard is that for days, long roars that reverberate through the valley have been coming from inside the stone chamber, and a powerful breakthrough aura has been continuously overflowing, causing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to surge!
Lu Zhuo, the father of Lu Wenhou, stood outside the stone chamber, his hands trembling slightly, his eyes filled with excitement and anticipation.
He knew full well that exchanging his family's treasured heirloom for this opportunity was absolutely worthwhile!
Before long, with a loud "boom", the heavy stone door was suddenly flung open!
Lu Wenhou and the old man in gray robes walked out side by side.
At this moment, Lu Wenhou had already undergone a complete transformation. His aura was as powerful as the sea, his momentum as strong as a rainbow, his eyes as sharp as knives, and a faint light of treasure flowed around him. His cultivation was unfathomable!
Lu Zhuo strode forward, his voice trembling as he asked, "Son, you...you've broken through?"
Lu Wenhou's lips curled into an extremely arrogant smile, his tone filled with confidence: "Father, my master has passed on to me the supreme Dao techniques, and I now realize that the martial arts I practiced in the past were nothing but worthless dross! In the past few days, I have made breakthroughs one after another, and now I can even fight against the top 100 experts on the Heavenly Ranking!"
Lu Zhuo gasped, his eyes gleaming with wild joy: "Really?!"
Lu Wenhou nodded heavily, then turned to the gray-robed old man and bowed respectfully: "This breakthrough is entirely due to Master's careful guidance."
The gray-robed old man waved his hand indifferently: "Your potential is still good, but you have gone astray before. I am merely correcting your course and guiding you onto the right path."
Overjoyed, Lü Zhuo suddenly remembered the important matter and hurriedly asked, "Venerable One, shall we set off immediately to return to the Lü family in the Northwest?"
The old man in the gray robe raised his eyes and looked towards the southeast horizon, his eyes narrowing slightly, a strange light flashing in them: "No rush. Before that, I still need to make some preparations."
"Your subordinate will obey Your Excellency's wishes!" Lü Zhuo bowed and replied, his heart finally at ease. From this day forward, with Your Excellency protecting them and his son having broken through to such a level, who in this world could stop the Lü family's rise?
……
Inside Xiao Chen's villa in the provincial capital.
Xiao Chen temporarily arranged for the Extreme Yin Ancestor and Lin Zhenghao to stay here... This would also make it easier to protect Yun Yuyan, Zhou Keying, and others who frequently visit this place.
As soon as he stepped into the villa, he noticed a silver suitcase in the corner of the living room, and his eyebrows twitched slightly.
Before I could even ask a question, a graceful figure had already entered from the bedroom.
Her bright eyes were like autumn water, her eyebrows like distant mountains shrouded in mist, and shallow dimples appeared on her cheeks. A light-colored long dress accentuated her snow-white skin, making her breathtakingly beautiful.
It was Zhou Keying!
"Ke Ying, you're here?" Xiao Chen's tense expression softened instantly, and a gentle smile appeared on his lips.
After not seeing her for several days, she seemed to have become even more beautiful and ethereal, with a gentle and charming temperament.
Zhou Keying nodded gently, her eyes shimmering with a soft light, her voice sweet: "I should have returned the day before yesterday, but some trivial matters at Grandma's house kept me from coming back. I heard from Father that these past few days... you've caused quite a stir in the Western Region?"
Although Zhou Yanhe only said a few words and did not go into details, Zhou Keying had already keenly sensed that something big must have happened in the western region.
And at the heart of all this turmoil is probably the person right in front of us.
However, she didn't intend to delve into it... as long as Xiao Chen was safe and sound, that was enough.
Zhou Keying turned and went into the kitchen. She quickly brought out two glasses of freshly squeezed orange juice, handed one of them to Xiao Chen, and said with a hint of reproach, "Grandma has been praising you over and over again these past few days. I'm so tired of hearing her say it."
Xiao Chen took the orange juice and drank it all in one gulp. The cool juice dispelled the hostility around him. He smiled and said, "This just proves that the old man has a discerning eye and can recognize a true hero."
Zhou Keying blushed slightly, turned her face away with a light reproach, and suddenly remembered something important as her eyes darted around. Her expression turned serious: "By the way, when we were at Grandma's house, someone asked her why her serious illness had suddenly healed, and Mother accidentally let slip half of the answer. If anyone comes to us for medical treatment in the next few days... you don't need to consider my feelings, just refuse them directly."
She didn't want to cause Xiao Chen unnecessary trouble because of her own family matters.
Xiao Chen nodded slightly, his expression indifferent. Although he was knowledgeable in the mysteries of life and death and could bring the dead back to life, he was never a healer who practiced medicine to save lives.
Whether to treat him or not is entirely up to him; the feelings of others are of no concern to him.
Seeing that he agreed, Zhou Keying's expression softened again, her eyes sparkling with a hint of mischievous teasing: "Alright, I'll go take a bath first. I've been traveling all day, I should rest. Want to... come along?"
Before Xiao Chen could respond, she blushed and gracefully turned around, lifting her skirt as she walked upstairs. Her skirt brushed the ground, leaving a trail of light footsteps.
Xiao Chen shook his head helplessly, but a faint smile played on his lips. This girl, he didn't know when, had completely learned Yun Yuyan's charming and teasing skills.
Without giving it any further thought, he went straight back to his room, sat cross-legged, made hand seals, and instantly entered a meditative state.
……
The capital city, the headquarters of the Dragon Kingdom's New Martial Arts Association, the council hall.
"boom!"
A deafening crash shook the palace beams as a middle-aged man with a resolute face and a composed demeanor slammed his palm onto the black iron table before him! (End of Chapter)
