Chapter 389: Fan Chengyan Returns to the Sect
Chapter 389: Fan Chengyan Returns to the Sect
August 21, 2024
During mealtime, Su Chen also inquired about various information channels from Commander Qin Wei.
The Jin Kingdom also had its share of information brokers.
However, Commander Qin Wei did not provide any information to Su Chen.
Instead, he reminded Su Chen not to delve into these matters, as they would only bring harm and no benefit.
For the following period, Su Chen calmly assisted at the Canyon Defense Line.
He waited for the secret realm to open again, eager to explore it once more.
Wulanshan Manor.
Fan Chengyan, who had just returned from Great Zhou, was already back.
In the manor's rear garden, Sang Moyuan prepared a table of delicacies and welcomed his junior disciple sister, along with their master.
"Master, you've worked hard. This time, for the sake of your disciples, you've made a special trip to that remote and impoverished place."
Upon hearing Sang Moyuan's words, Fan Chengyan shook her head with a hint of regret.
"We thought our actions were swift enough.
But when we arrived in Zhou State, they were already on high alert."
"Does Master know the identity of that person?
Which one is it?"
Sang Moyuan furrowed his brows, his face filled with a hint of ruthlessness.
If it had been one of Jin Kingdom's youth who was injured, he might have let it go.
But it was a martial artist from a small country he had barely heard of.
"It's that Su from Heavencradle City, and he has already fled without a trace.
I injured the Sect Master of Heavencradle City, and even had people guard the area, but we still couldn't find him."
Not capturing Su Chen that day was like letting a fish escape into the ocean.
Finding him again wouldn't be so easy.
"What a pity, letting the treasure left by Jingbo Immortal slip away that day! Who knows, that person might have already fled to Chu Kingdom."
Just thinking about it made Sang Moyuan feel angry.
"I've arranged for people to search for his family in Zhou State.
According to the information we gathered, heaved with each breath, and his home consists of a mother and a younger sister.
Both of them are uncultivated in the martial path.
Finding him might be difficult, but locating his family shouldn't be too hard.
Martial artists in Zhou State are generally poor, so recruiting them shouldn't be too challenging.
Let's wait for some time."
Hearing her master's words, Sang Moyuan nodded in agreement.
Finding Su Chen wasn't just about venting anger; it was also crucial for the items left behind by Jingbo Immortal.
Su Chen's prediction proved accurate.
The people from Wulanshan Manor wouldn't let him off so easily.
If they couldn't find him, they would go after his family.
Without sufficient strength to protect himself, it was nearly impossible for him to hide his true identity.
The territory of Great Zhou Dynasty, though smaller than Jin Kingdom, was still vast.
Conducting a thorough search wasn't a simple task.
In the entire Great Zhou, there were over a hundred and seventy named cities of considerable size.
Su Chen felt relatively assured about the safety of his mother and younger sister.
Near Hongfeng Canyon, the section of the defense line guarded by the Third Battle Team had become a death trap for demons in recent times.
This made the entire defense line increasingly stable.
The Third Battle Team's section was so peaceful that it seemed excessive.
All five battle teams under Tahe Sect had learned of this news.
In the recent period, they had been employing various methods to gather information and inquire about the reasons.
Qin Wei's side was also doing their best to control the flow of information.
During this time, Su Chen and Tan Kun didn't stay in the bamboo tower.
The battle team arranged a courtyard for Su Chen and Tan Kun, located near Hongshi City.
Living near Hongshi City was far more convenient than the bamboo tower.
Additionally, Hongshi City wasn't far from the canyon defense line, making travel quicker.
And today, Tan Kun's family arrived.
After earning a considerable amount of contribution points with Su Chen, Tan Kun sent a letter to his family, inviting them to come and visit.
After traveling for about seven or eight days, they finally arrived today.
Seeing the family reunion, Su Chen also felt a longing for his mother and younger sister.
Tan Kun's younger sister is named Tan Lei, and she seems to be around the same age as his own sister.
She looks to be about fourteen or fifteen, an age when a girl is transitioning into a young woman.
Compared to her brother Tan Kun, she is undoubtedly much more beautiful.
When she saw Su Chen, she called him "Brother" in a sweet voice.
After Tan Kun introduced her, Tan Lei didn't treat Su Chen like an outsider at all.
After their reunion, Su Chen and Tan Kun took Tan Lei on a tour of Hongshi City.
Compared to other towns, Hongshi City may not be as grand, but it is still a city.
With so many martial artists near the canyon, it brings a lot of business to Hongshi City.
Therefore, there are quite a few shops and businesses in the city.
The three of them strolled around, looking for things to do.
Whenever they saw something delicious, Su Chen would buy it for Tan Lei, to satisfy her cravings.
This child is just as much of a sweet tooth as his own sister.
While they were leisurely strolling, a sound of hooves came from the east.
In most cities, only the main roads allow horse-drawn carriages to move slowly.
Riding horses and galloping through the streets can easily cause dust and even injure people, especially since many of the city's residents haven't cultivated the Martial Path.
Soon, three horses charged out from the eastern street.
A wealthy young man was riding the lead horse.
The people behind him were likely his bodyguards.
The three horses were galloping through the city, forcing others to get out of their way, without any regard for others.
Seeing this, Su Chen immediately pulled Tan Kun and Tan Lei to the side of the road.
As the wealthy young man rode past, his gaze seemed to fall on Tan Lei.
He even raised his whip and lashed it towards her.
This was a casual swing, but the young man seemed to be trying to tease Tan Lei.
It might not look heavy, but it would definitely cause her a lot of pain, leaving a bloody mark on her skin.
Seeing this, Su Chen reached out and grabbed the whip.
The wealthy young man tried to yank it back, but instead, he was pulled off his horse.
He didn't even seem to be at the Seventh Rank Initial Stage.
Falling to the ground, his fancy clothes were covered in dust.
The two bodyguards behind him immediately dismounted to help him up.
"You two, go on ahead. I'll stay here and take a look."
Su Chen frowned and said to Tan Kun and Tan Lei.
The two of them realized that trouble was brewing.
Just as they were about to leave, the wealthy young man shouted loudly, "Stop! None of you are allowed to leave!"
With the help of his bodyguards, he stood up and dusted off his clothes.
He drew his sword, a cold expression on his face.
"Who gave you the nerve to grab my whip?"
Tan Kun, who was clearly intimidated, hurriedly stepped forward to explain.
"Brother, we are from the Third Battle Team.
This is Brother Su Xing. Recently, other battle teams should have heard of Brother Su. Brother, it's better to resolve disputes amicably."
Hearing this, the young man's eyes narrowed slightly.
"What kind of strength do you have to hold a grudge against me?
It's better to resolve disputes amicably? I'll just vent all my anger today."
