Eternal Life from Taking Care of Master's Wife-Chapter 99 - 11: Senior Sister, Don’t Look Back, I’m a Bad Guy (Part 2)
This time, the Cyan Cloud Sect had a total of fifty people, thirty-four True Disciples, and sixteen Inner Sect Disciples. Eight died, which is still considered normal.
"Has anyone seen the Ninth Young Master Chu Yingxiong?"
Just then, a thunderous, powerful, and cold voice echoed through the heavens and earth:
"Anyone who provides information can choose three superior martial arts skills!"
Zhou Chen and the others glanced upward, only to see an old man with hair and beard all white, resembling a butler. His fury was written all over his face, his eyes bloodshot, giving off an intimidating presence.
"The Ninth Young Master Chu Yingxiong?"
"The Ninth Young Master of Prince Zhen Nan’s Mansion?"
"Could it be that the Ninth Young Master of Prince Zhen Nan’s Mansion has perished in the Secret Realm?"
The crowd was stunned; Prince Zhen Nan’s Mansion was considered a dominating force in Qingzhou, under which was an elite army of over a thousand martial artists, unstoppable in their path.
In terms of power, even great sects like the Cyan Cloud Sect and the Celestial Sword Sect couldn’t compare.
"The Secret Realm is inherently filled with many unknown dangers, so why would someone of the Ninth Young Master’s status risk venturing into the Secret Realm?"
"Because one seeks riches and honor amidst danger. Besides, it’s just the Ninth Young Master, not the Crown Prince of Prince Zhen Nan!"
"I heard the Ninth Young Master of Prince Zhen Nan was born with the Sword Bone and is just like Sword Hero from the Celestial Sword Sect. Moreover, he has been cultivating the Celestial Dragon Divine Sword created by the Grand Ancestor Emperor since childhood, possessing extraordinary strength, no less than Sword Hero’s."
"With such power entering the Secret Realm, the danger shouldn’t be great. However, unforeseen events are inevitable, and misfortune can strike without warning. It’s clear something went wrong this time!"
"It’s said that there are Tier Two Demon Beasts and even dragon-descended demon beasts in the Secret Realm. Encountering such beasts can spell disaster for even prodigies!"
The crowd buzzed with discussions, but no one knew of Chu Yingxiong’s whereabouts.
The Secret Realm is vast, and not many encountered Chu Yingxiong.
Even if they did, most would likely have been slain by Chu Yingxiong.
"How could this happen?"
The butler of Prince Zhen Nan’s Mansion, Elder Chu, wore a sullen expression, unable to fathom that Chu Yingxiong would perish in the Secret Realm. How could he possibly explain this upon his return?
"With the Ninth Young Master’s strength, how could something happen?"
Elder Chu couldn’t understand, as Chu Yingxiong wasn’t reckless and certainly wouldn’t provoke those formidable demon beasts.
Among other prodigies entering the Secret Realm, aside from Buddha’s Son Wukong from the Great Zen Temple, no one else could possibly harm Chu Yingxiong.
Similarly, the deputy commander of the Qingzhou Guard, Su Wenhao, also had a grim expression.
"How could Sima Changkong perish in the Secret Realm?"
Su Wenhao was incredulous.
Sima Changkong’s Body Refining was at the ninth transformation, comparable to an ordinary Divine Power Realm. Su Wenhao knew that Sima Changkong was on the verge of breaking through upon entering the Secret Realm.
And for Sima Changkong, who had broken through to the Divine Power Realm from the ninth transformation of Body Refining, his power was comparable to an ordinary Divine Form Realm, making him the top-tier combat force in the Secret Realm.
Just like Elder Chu, he wanted to know how Sima Changkong died.
But information from the Secret Realm was extremely difficult to obtain.
Unless there was a lucky witness who managed to survive, but is that even possible?
"Let’s go back!"
With a cold, clear voice, Qing Yuyao commanded the Flying Ship, which transformed into a streak of light and vanished above the Celestial Cloud Mountain Range.
Major powers such as the Great Zen Temple and the Celestial Sword Sect simply left.
Neither a butler from Prince Zhen Nan’s Mansion nor a deputy commander of the Qingzhou Guard could control them.
Elder Chu and Su Wenhao could at most compel some minor factions and small families to stay, cooperate with them in their investigation, and to understand the situation.
Meanwhile, the instigator, Zhou Chen, remained hidden in contributions and fame, sitting calmly beside his senior sister, Li Changhen. As he inhaled the faint fragrance emanating from her, his soul immersed in the Wind and Moon Treasure Mirror, evaluating the harvest this time.
In the Secret Realm, Zhou Chen had killed several people, each a genius with substantial wealth, especially the Ninth Young Master of Prince Zhen Nan’s Mansion, Chu Yingxiong.
Second to him were Sima Changkong and Song Kui.
Years of experience showed Pang Yunlong was rather ordinary.
Additionally, Zhou Chen found many storage bags under the Cyan Cold Pool, which contained numerous treasures.
Apart from anything else, the number of Tier Four Divine Weapons exceeded double digits.
Zhou Chen first checked the Storage Ring of the Ninth Young Master of Prince Zhen Nan’s Mansion, Chu Yingxiong, which had a space of a hundred cubic meters.
Spirit Stones, Divine Weapons, secret manuals, Spirit Elixirs, and various miscellaneous items were countless.
"Superior martial arts skills: Wind Snow Sword, Heart-Picking Dragon Claw Hand, Crossing the River on a Blade of Grass..."
After a brief inspection, Zhou Chen shook his head:
"It’s a pity there’s no supreme martial art like the Celestial Dragon Divine Sword!"
However, Zhou Chen wasn’t surprised. A supreme martial art like the Celestial Dragon Divine Sword could never be carried by Chu Yingxiong, nor would a replica exist.
Wind Snow Sword and Heart-Picking Dragon Claw Hand were likely collections of Chu Yingxiong. Having so many superior martial arts skills, one could glimpse Chu Yingxiong’s foundation.
After recording all superior martial arts skills, Zhou Chen began inspecting the Spirit Elixirs.
Chu Yingxiong had found quite a number of Spirit Elixirs.
"Oh, the Illusion God Flower!"
Zhou Chen’s eyes lit up. It was a flower resembling a peony, pure white like snow, shimmering with dreamy brilliance, a spirit elixir that enhances the soul.
"Although the Illusion God Flower’s grade doesn’t match the Dragon Tree Blood Lotus, it’s similarly rare and precious, capable of boosting the progress of the Heaven-Supporting Sword by hundreds of thousands."
Joy filled Zhou Chen’s heart, especially considering that as a True Disciple of Cyan Cloud, he could receive a bottle of Refining God Pill every year after reaching Body Refining Ninth Layer. He felt he could soon train the Heaven-Supporting Sword to Ninth Layer.
The Refining God Pill was very effective in tempering the soul. True Disciples of Cyan Cloud must reach Body Refining Ninth Layer to receive one bottle yearly, with each bottle containing two pills.
With joy, Zhou Chen continued the inventory.
Chu Yingxiong’s Storage Ring contained only one Illusion God Flower as a refining god spirit elixir, but Zhou Chen found a Dragon Soul Grass in the Storage Bag of Pang Yunlong, who was at the Body Refining Seventh Layer.
The leaves of the Dragon Soul Grass are similar to a dragon’s tail, and the whole plant resembles a dragon. It’s said to only grow where dragon descendants have fallen, possessing miraculous effects in strengthening the soul.
"Unexpectedly, this Pang Yunlong scoundrel had such luck, but he had the fortune to acquire it, yet no life to enjoy it. Now it’s all mine for the taking!"
Amid Zhou Chen’s excitement over his loot, the Flying Ship sliced through the sky and returned to the Cyan Cloud Sect in no time.
Cyan Cloud Peak.
