(Apologies for asking for monthly tickets)_1 Chapter 117: 078: Knowing that there is a Martial Immortal secret, how can it be found in the human world?
(Apologies for asking for monthly tickets)_1 Upon returning to his residence with a heavy heart, the sight that greeted Chen Dengming nearly caused his eyes to darken and left him flabbergasted.
He immediately hid away in a secluded corner and let out a rare curse.
“Holy…
shit…”
In front of him, he saw a yard filled with fallen leaves and branches.
The ground was upturned, showing signs of a battle.
...
In the middle of the yard, Chu Xun, his face swollen and bruised, was mercilessly pinning a severely beaten young man to the ground.
Several cultivators were watching and whispering from afar.
“What are you looking at?
Come for the show, have you?”
Chu Xun, his cheeks swollen like a blowfish, shouted angrily at the cultivators who were enjoying the spectacle.
“Get lost, all of you, get the hell out of here!”
The butcher had a fearsome reputation, and now with his strength at the sixth level of Qi cultivation, his intimidation was even more formidable.
Several nearby cultivators who were watching the proceedings took to their heels, not daring to invite trouble upon themselves or risk getting beaten up.
Chen Dengming stared intensely at the young man pinned to the ground.
His expression slowly turned from confusion to concern.
He realized that the young man Chu Xun had beaten to a pulp was Nangong Yun, whom he hadn’t seen for nearly two years.
However, how did these two end up fighting out of the blue?
Seeing that everyone had left,
Chen Dengming quickly approached, frowning at Chu Xun, “Daoist friend Zhu, what on earth happened here?”
Chu Xun immediately covered his swollen face, looking embarrassed, “Nothing…
I just caught this kid sneaking around your place, claiming he was looking for someone.
When I questioned him, he unexpectedly launched a sneak attack on me, so I ended up like this.”
Chu Xun pointed at his swollen face then immediately covered it again, rose to his feet, and kicked Nangong Yun hard while cursing, “Take that for your sneak attack!”
“Hey!”
Chen Dengming hastily intervened, frowning at the nearly unconscious Nangong Yun.
“Just like that, you two started fighting?
Did he mention any reason?”
“Reason?”
Chu Xun snarled, “No…
he didn’t say anything, only mentioned looking for a loose cultivator named Chen Fei.
Why did he end up here?
Do you know any Chen Fei?
Is he your relative?”
Chen Dengming frowned, “I don’t know any Chen Fei, wait! did you not even find out who this guy is before you began fighting?”
Chu Xun gritted his teeth in pain, “I…
I was just suspicious because he was sneaking around your place, so I challenged him.
I didn’t expect him to get so nervous and launch a sneak attack.
I was caught off guard.
It’s a wonder I didn’t beat him to death.”
Chen Dengming glanced at Nangong Yun on the ground, “No, he’s nearly dead anyway.
Look at him, Qi cultivation level four, right?
You!”
Chu Xun immediately turned red, indignant, “What’s wrong with level four?
He attacked me by surprise!”
Chen Dengming suddenly understood the situation.
Oh, dear old Zhu, so proud.
Probably he didn’t tell the truth.
How could a level four cultivator dare to attack a level six senior like him?
More likely Zhu provoked him, and Nangong Yun unexpectedly landed a hit, humiliating Zhu, who then angrily retaliated.
But this Nangong Yun is also impressive.
In such a short time, he has already reached the fourth level of Qi cultivation and even managed to hurt old Zhu.
Is the sect really providing such abundant resources?
“Here’s the thing, old Zhu.”
Chen Dengming put an arm around Chu Xun’s shoulder, “I just visited the Ming family.
They mentioned a disciple of the Yingyue Sect was looking for someone.
It might just be him.”
“What, a disciple of the Yingyue Sect?
Him?”
“Yes, him.
Don’t panic.
The Ming family assumed he had already left.
What is the name of the person he was looking for?”
Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.
“That bastard Chen Fei!”
“Yes, yes, Chen Fei.
See, this disciple from the Yingyue Sect was looking for Chen Fei, but now the person he’s looking for isn’t here, and he’s nearly dead at your hands, this…”
“Brother Chen, now…
what should I do?
I…”
Chu Xun was suddenly in a panic, “I didn’t know he was from the Yingyue Sect.
When he attacked me without saying a word, I…
Should I take him to the Ming family now to explain everything and get him some treatment?”
“Hey, slow down!
We can’t go to the Ming family.”
Chen Dengming immediately waved his hand, his brows furrowing, “Are you stupid?
He’s a disciple of the Yingyue Sect, and you’ve nearly beaten him to death.
If you go to the Ming family with him in this state, they won’t hesitate to hand you over to the Yingyue Sect to avoid conflict.
What then?”
“Then what…”
Chu Xun’s face twisted in worry, “Brother Chen, what should I do?
I…
I only confronted him because he was lurking around your doorstep…”
Chen Dengming patted Chu Xun’s shoulder, speaking calmly, “Don’t worry, Daoist friend Zhu.
I’ll handle it for you.
Don’t forget, I know the Skill of Transforming Decrepitude Into Glory.
A few applications of that and this kid will be fine.”
“Then…
then you should apply it now.”
“Not so fast.
A lot of people saw you beat this guy earlier, old Zhu.
First, you need to pack up and leave for a while to let things cool down.
Leave the situation here to me.
After I’ve treated him, I’ll let him go.
Without you around, he won’t take his anger out on the person who saved his life.
When everything quiets down, you can return, and this matter will be settled.”
Chu Xun’s head was spinning, but as he thought carefully about Chen Dengming’s words, he lifted his thumb, expressing his admiration.
“Alright, Brother Chen, you are truly a loyal friend!
I will go into hiding immediately, and you must make sure to heal this kid.”
“Don’t worry.
Go now.
He only knows you, not me.
He’ll see me as his lifesaver.
Remember, keep yourself hidden from the Ming family during this time.”
