Chapter 7392
Young man, tone it down.
"You think I hold the reins of power? How naive!"
Qin Wu chuckled self-deprecatingly, his eyes filled with helplessness. "The real power lies hidden within these four holy lands. Even the New Martial Arts Association, which puts so much pressure on you, has to bow down before them, not daring to have even the slightest thought of overstepping its bounds!"
Qin Wu's words were not beyond Xiao Chen's expectations.
The four holy lands may seem like insurmountable barriers to ordinary people, entities that even someone like Qin Wu wouldn't dare to provoke, but in his eyes, they were nothing more than corrupt forces clinging to old traditions.
However, this gap in understanding only fueled Xiao Chen's anger and murderous intent.
A surge of suppressed, overwhelming malevolent energy suddenly erupted from his body, instantly freezing the air in the living room. A fine layer of frost even formed on the surfaces of the tables and chairs, and the temperature plummeted by more than ten degrees!
Qin Wu sensed the world-destroying aura and his expression changed drastically. He quickly changed the subject: "But don't be so quick to get angry! Although I can't tell you all the details from back then, there is one thing that makes it worth your agreement to my previous conditions."
"What is it?" Xiao Chen's voice was as deep as muffled thunder, each word carrying a chilling edge.
Qin Wu suddenly stood up, gripping the table tightly with both hands, leaning forward, and staring intently at Xiao Chen. He spoke each word with immense weight: "The War God King's wife, Jiang Meng, is currently near the capital!"
"Her current situation is indeed dangerous, but her life is not in immediate danger. The God of War is my old friend, and I will risk everything to secretly protect her. You can rest assured about that."
"Near the capital..." Xiao Chen took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the surging excitement and urgency in his chest, his knuckles clenching so tightly they cracked. "Do you know the exact location?"
Qin Wu slowly shook his head, his tone grave: "I can't pinpoint the exact location. The Four Holy Lands are too treacherous; their schemes are so intricate that even my intelligence network can't penetrate them. However..."
He paused, then added, "You'll have a lead soon. Someone has already set off for the Western Region to find you, carrying information about Jiang Meng."
Seemingly unwilling to dwell on this dangerous topic any longer, Qin Wu glanced at his watch and his tone became urgent: "I must set off for the capital immediately. I have an important report to give regarding central decision-making. That's all for today."
"Regarding the matter of borrowing the Yin Ancestor, I will send a specialist to contact you as soon as possible."
Before leaving, he turned to look at Xiao Chen, his eyes heavy with determination, and repeatedly gave him instructions:
"Finally, I'll give you two pieces of advice. First, be wary of the New Martial Arts Association's counterattack. They've suffered such a great loss; they will not let this go easily. Second, before you've fully grown and are powerful enough to sweep across the world, do not... take the initiative to provoke the Four Holy Lands! Remember! Remember!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Wu didn't linger. He quickly walked out of the villa, got into his car, and sped away.
Xiao Chen stood at the door, watching the taillights of the SUV disappear around the street corner before slowly withdrawing his gaze and taking a deep breath of the cold evening wind.
The biting wind could not dispel the complex emotions of burning passion and icy chill in his heart.
Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately dialed Huang Tian's number, his voice as cold as a knife:
"Use all available resources, regardless of cost, to conduct a thorough search of the capital and all suspicious areas in and around the city! I need to know Jiang Meng's whereabouts, alive or dead!"
"Furthermore, find out the representative families of the four holy lands in the capital, and compile all their information... including core members, industrial layout, and martial arts strength, and send it to me!" "Yes, Your Excellency!" Huang Tian on the other end of the phone did not dare to hesitate for a moment and immediately agreed.
Huang Tian's efficiency far exceeded that of ordinary people; in just a short while, a preliminary draft of the data was sent over.
Finding Jiang Meng is no easy task and requires careful analysis of the intelligence gathered. However, the identities of the representative families of the four holy lands in the capital are now clear... one of them is none other than the Li family!
Xiao Chen's eyes turned cold.
He had personally killed Li Sheng, a member of the Li family, and had a long-standing grudge against the Li family. More importantly, according to the information sent by Huang Tian, the Li family had also been secretly searching for Jiang Meng's whereabouts recently, and had been making frequent moves.
“The Four Holy Lands…” Xiao Chen’s lips curled into an extremely cold smile. There was no awe in his eyes, only overwhelming fighting spirit and disdain. “In the eyes of others, they may be unattainable celestial palaces, unshakable giants of inheritance.”
"But in my eyes, Xiao Chen, these so-called Four Holy Lands, the Nine Provinces of the Dragon Kingdom, and even the entire universe... are nothing but dust!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the murderous aura around him vanished. He turned and walked back to the villa, his eyes filled with only cold determination... Whether it was the New Martial Arts Association, the Four Holy Lands, or the Li family behind him, anyone who dared to block his path to find Jiang Meng would be crushed!
Xiao Chen's true reliance has never been worldly power and force... but rather the mysterious immortal palace floating above the divine sea within his body, and the ancient secrets that have slumbered within it for countless ages!
That immortal abode was his ultimate guarantee against all powerful enemies, and it was also the source of his confidence to face the Prison Clan head-on and confront the Four Holy Lands!
Before the fighting spirit in his heart had subsided, an extremely violent engine roar suddenly shattered the tranquility of the villa!
Looking up, a fully black, specially reinforced armed helicopter suddenly and unexpectedly veered off the ground, heading straight for Xiao Chen in the center of the villa!
The fuselage, accompanied by howling winds, crashed down like a maddened beast... Once such a heavy helicopter hits the ground, it will inevitably cause a massive explosion and a raging inferno, leveling the entire villa to the ground!
"Humph."
Xiao Chen's eyes suddenly flashed with cold light, and his murderous aura surged out like a tsunami, sweeping across all directions.
Sure enough, the members of the New Martial Arts Association could no longer sit still.
In the blink of an eye, the helicopter had approached to within five meters of the villa, its heavy fuselage almost touching the roof tiles!
At this critical moment, Xiao Chen slightly bent his knees, and his divine energy burst forth from the soles of his feet, causing his body to soar into the sky like an arrow released from a bow!
This leap sent him soaring six or seven meters into the air, directly confronting the falling helicopter!
The moment the helicopter crashed down on him with destructive force, Xiao Chen's eyes flashed, and his right leg kicked out fiercely like a steel whip!
"boom……!"
The terrifying force of the kick was like the powerful blow of an ancient giant, slamming hard into the side of the helicopter!
A jaw-dropping scene unfolded... The multi-ton armed helicopter was kicked away by this kick, flying in an arc like a kite with a broken string, and crashing heavily onto the open ground next to the villa!
Boom!!!
The deafening explosion was deafening, and flames instantly engulfed the aircraft. The scorching heatwave swept outwards, igniting the surrounding vegetation into a sea of fire.
Xiao Chen landed, his gaze sweeping over the burning helicopter, his eyes growing even colder… It was empty; clearly, the pilot had already parachuted away, leaving behind only a remotely controlled “terrorist weapon.” (End of Chapter)
