Chapter 257: Chapter 125: Chen Chang’an Becomes a Saint with Literary Qi from All Heavens! (Super long Chapter, please subscribe!)_7
"My son! My son!"
At the same time, in Holy City of Zhongzhou, within the residence of Tian Yuan.
A baleful cry suddenly echoed in the room, its volume loud enough to pierce the skies.
The source of the cry was none other than Li Gang’s wife, Mrs. Zhang.
She was crying because she had seen her son, Li Yuan, lying on the sickbed, drastically weakened.
Seeing her son so grievously wounded and barely clinging to life, Mrs. Zhang was overcome with grief.
"Still crying, are you? If it weren’t for you spoiling him, this would not have happened!"
Upon hearing Mrs. Zhang’s crying, Li Gang barked angrily.
"How is me pampering our son any of your business?"
"You heartless man. Yuan has been beaten up, and you still haven’t sought his justice."
Upon hearing Li Gang’s words, Mrs. Zhang roared back in rage and sadness.
Li Gang’s expression turned even uglier when Mrs. Zhang mentioned these words.
The next moment, he said:
"My lady, this time it is not that I don’t want to seek revenge, but the man who injured Yuan has an unusual identity."
"It is Master Chen Chang’an from Tianshui."
Chen Chang’an from Tianshui?
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhang was momentarily taken aback, then quickly searched for this name in her memory.
Then she said:
"I don’t care, Li, if you do not reclaim our honor!"
"And avenge Yuan, I will have no qualms about turning against you."
"Mother, it hurts, it hurts~!"
In the sickbed, Li Yuan cried out in pain.
"Oh, my poor child, who could be so ruthless?" Mrs. Zhang hurried over to comfort him.
Seeing this, Li Gang reluctantly said:
"My lady, you have no idea. This time is different from previous incidents."
"Different? In what way, different?"
"Don’t they all have two arms and two legs? You mean to say they have three heads and six arms?"
Mrs. Zhang simply wasn’t listening to any of it.
However, when she noticed how solemn Li Gang’s face was, she realized something was wrong.
Immediately, she frowned and asked:
"Li Lang, could this Master Tianshui be someone special?"
As the first lady of a dominant power, Mrs. Zhang certainly had some brains.
Although she sometimes became irrational over certain matters, it did not mean she was an idiot.
Her husband, Li Gang, was no less than a Seventh Realm God-Emperor.
Any person who could make him frown could not be simple.
Whether or not to offend them had to be carefully considered.
Upon hearing her question, Li Gang sighed and said:
"My lady, you may not be aware that Chen Chang’an became a Great Scholar only a year ago. He has been the center of attention in the Scholar’s Sect these days."
"Even the Holy Wiseman Kong Chu from the Scholar Sect went to humbly invite him, making a special trip to the Tianshui Sect."
"The Scholar Sect values him greatly."
"His control over the Heaven-Piercing Void God is also quite strong, having once killed a Sword Immortal of the Sixth Realm."
"Moreover, just now, two ancestors of the Scholar Sect appeared and treated him with great respect."
"This is troubling."
?
Upon hearing Li Gang’s words, Mrs. Zhang’s brows furrowed even deeper, and she said:
"So, sir, does this mean we just let go of our Yuan’s revenge?"
"Let go? Hmph! How could we let go?"
"Someone injured my son on my territory and didn’t pay any price. How can that be possible?"
Li Gang gave a cold smirk.
The Scholar Sect might fear Chen Chang’an, but he did not.
Regardless of what else was said, Chen Chang’an was only a Great Scholar.
No matter how extraordinary he was, he was still only a Great Scholar.
What qualified a Great Scholar to make a fuss in front of him?
"Don’t worry, my lady. The only reason why Chen Chang’an is so valuable now is that the Scholar Sect still hopes to obtain the inheritance from him."
"Once he records the inheritance in the Hall of Literati tomorrow, he will lose his value in the eyes of the old fellows of the Scholar Sect."
"By then, without the Scholar Sect as a backing, I’d like to see how he’ll deal with me!"
"Rest assured, my lady, I will certainly make him pay for his deeds tomorrow."
After some discussion, Li Gang and his family finally settled down for the night,
waiting for the dawn of the next day.
...
Silence dominated the night.
The Holy City was at peace this night.
In the vast city, an eerie silence took over.
It seemed like everyone was waiting for daybreak.
And indeed, it was just so.
When daybreak came, many people flocked to the entrance of Jixia Academy.
They were all here to participate in a unique event of the Scholar Sect - The Quqin Meeting.
Moreover, because this Quqin Meeting had a special guest, Chen Chang’an, it had subsequently become even more popular.
The Quqin Conference was held at seven in the morning when the sun had just risen.
It symbolized the arrival of purple Qi from the east and the promise of great fortune for all.
So, early in the morning, the invited guests arrived including Chen Chang’an.
Although the Quqin Conference was an event for the Scholar Sect, the Sect would invite guests from other sects to attend.
These invited sects and powers were unusual; they were all superpowers at the same level as the Scholar Sect.
Among them were even several elites from the Ten Sects.
Tianxiang Pavilion had also been invited.
When Chen Chang’an learned about the invitation extended to Tianxiang Pavilion, he felt the urge to take a look.
