After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 877 Returning from Qinzhou, Jishi Mountain, Venerable Lord?
The two gazed at each other from a distance.

Li Xiulian waited quietly for Chen Yang's reply.

"Cough cough."

Wang Yuanchao coughed lightly, "Isn't it a bit excessive for you to make this kind of deal in front of me?"

"This is none of your business."

Li Xiulian glared at Wang Yuanchao from afar, blaming him for meddling.

Despite being a powerful Dao Realm expert, even with his primordial spirit sealed, his residual power remained. Just one glance from him was enough to make Wang Yuanchao gasp for breath.

Wang Yuanchao was momentarily speechless, then turned to look at Chen Yang.

Chen Yang said, "Prepare paper and pen for her. Forget about the Qi-Awakening Powder formula. Have her write down the method for cultivating the second primordial spirit and the Dao Fruit Reincarnation Technique..."

Wang Yuanchao nodded without saying anything more.

Chen Yang's gaze then fell on Li Xiulian. "I'll come back this afternoon and bring you what you want. You'd better not try anything funny, or the consequences will be severe..."

Li Xiulian nodded slightly and said nothing more.

……

If she just wanted some scraps of wood as a keepsake, that would be much simpler; Chen Yang could give it to her anytime.

However, Chen Yang's idea was simple: he couldn't give it too easily; he had to at least get her to give him the cultivation technique first.

The Three Corpse Divine Tree is somewhat interested in the Dao Fruit Reincarnation Technique.

As for the method of cultivating the second primordial spirit, although the Three Corpse Divine Tree also knows it, this method was passed down by the Stone Venerable Master back then, and it also wants to verify how much difference there is between the two.

Chen Yang also wanted to see it for himself. Although he didn't plan to cultivate a second primordial spirit at the moment, it would be good to broaden his horizons and increase his knowledge.

……

-

After meeting Li Xiulian, Chen Yang drove to Lingjiang County.

Lingjiang and Emei are adjacent and very close; if you drive fast, it only takes half an hour.

Chen Yang went directly to Binjiang Road, to the Emeishanyue residential area.

He received a call last night saying that the old man from Qinzhou had returned, so naturally he had to come and see him.

Although Huanglong Daoist removed the pupil technique that Chen Yang had used on Qian Huai Ren and Chen Qiao Gu, they hadn't fallen out. Huanglong Daoist still needed his help, so out of respect for Huanglong Daoist, the two of them did their best in the Qin Prefecture matter.

The person was safely returned.

When Chen Yang arrived at Qin Zhou's house, the old man was lying on a bench on the balcony, humming a tune, with two female apprentices serving him at home. He was living a very carefree life.

"Looks like your injury isn't too serious!" Chen Yang came to the balcony.

Qin Zhou turned around with great effort.

His hair was shaved off, his face was covered in bruises, he had a brace on his neck, he was shirtless, his body was wrapped in bandages, and there were two crutches next to him.

Putting everything else aside, the design itself looks somewhat comical.

"Stinky boy."

Qin Zhou opened his mouth, and it looked like he had broken several teeth.

"Tsk tsk..."

Chen Yang smacked his teeth, "Why were you beaten like this?"

Those who knew him said he was beaten up, but those who didn't would have thought he was hit by a truck.

When Chen Yang asked him that question, he seemed to realize it was dishonorable, but he just looked sullen and said, "You're happy that I got beaten up like this, aren't you?"

"Happy, of course I'm happy."

Chen Yang said sarcastically, "You ran away without a word. You're not very capable, but you still want to show off. Why don't I beat you to death?"

Qin Zhou shrank back, his voice weak, "That was a private matter for me. Aren't you afraid of dragging me into this for no reason? Who the hell knows you have connections in Taiwan..."

“If it weren’t for my extensive network and connections, you probably wouldn’t even know where you’re buried this time.”

Seeing how miserable he was, I didn't bother to say anything more.

"How badly are you injured?" Chen Yang asked.

Qin Zhou said, "Fortunately, my head and spine, except for the cervical vertebrae, have all been refined into jade bones. I only broke a few ribs, hand bones, and leg bones, and was stabbed twice and slashed a few times, but none of my vital organs were injured..."

Chen Yang was speechless. An ordinary person of this age, covered in injuries, would probably be dead long ago.

"I managed to survive, but a few of my brothers who went with me..."

Qin Zhou sighed and tried to shake his head, but his neck was fixed in place and he couldn't move.

"Whose fault is this? It's all your recklessness." Chen Yang looked at him helplessly.

Qin Zhou said, "I was just thinking that I've already broken through to the Spirit Realm, after all..."

"okay."

Chen Yang interrupted him, "If something like this happens again, let me know first, otherwise I won't care whether you live or die."

Qin Zhou nodded. Having been dealt such a terrible blow this time, he wouldn't dare to do it again. "Did you read the letter I left for you?"

"Look!"

"What about the things I put in Phoenix Mountain Cemetery..."

"The ashes of Chen Jingbang and his mother have been interred in the Chen family ancestral cemetery, so this matter is considered settled. As for that jade cabbage, it's with me..."

"Ah."

Qin Zhou responded, seemingly satisfied. "Give me the Jade Cabbage. It's a relic of an old friend, and it will have to be returned to the Shennong Sect in the future."

Chen Yang shook his head.

"What's wrong?" Qin Zhou looked at him in surprise.

Chen Yang said, "Returning it to Shennong Sect? Forget about it for now. Shennong Sect has dirty hands..."

"Oh?"

Qin Zhou was somewhat surprised upon hearing this. "What, you've been in contact with people from the Shennong Sect?"

Chen Yang nodded and briefly explained the situation to him.

Not only have I had contact with them, but I've also successfully ruined one of their lives.

Qin Zhou was stunned for a long time.

How long has it been since I came back, and this kid has already managed to kill a Dao True Realm expert?
What an international joke.

"What realm are you at now?" Qin Zhou couldn't help but ask.

He was very curious about Chen Yang's cultivation level. This kid was improving too fast; he would disappear without a trace before he knew it.

"Just reached the late stage of the Creation Realm."

Chen Yang didn't want to discourage him, but what could he do when he insisted on asking?

"Creation Realm? Late stage?"

"Cough cough..."

Although he had prepared himself mentally, Qin Zhou was still shocked. He choked on a mouthful of phlegm.

Shock.

What kind of monster is this kid?
He still remembers that when he first met this kid, Chen Yang was at most evenly matched with him. In less than a year, he personally witnessed this kid's journey to the Spirit Realm and Creation Realm.

Now, in the blink of an eye, he has reached the late stage of the Creation Realm.

It's so unreal.

The Chen family has truly produced a dragon among its members!

After a while, he calmed down and patted Chen Yang's shoulder with his bandaged hand. "Kid, if you become rich and powerful, don't forget me. Remember your Grandpa Qin if anything good happens. I haven't even reached the mid-stage of the Spirit Realm yet..."

Chen Yang was both amused and exasperated. "It seems your injury isn't serious, you still have the mood to make people laugh."

Qin Zhou glared at him and got back to the point, "Since that's the case, you can keep the jade cabbage for now. After all, it's a keepsake from my old friend. Judging from his dying words, this jade cabbage seems quite important to the Shennong Sect. Since you've already made contact with the Shennong Sect, you should investigate further and see if the Shennong Sect is worth entrusting. If they're really that worthless, then you can leave the jade cabbage behind..."

Since Chen Yang's first contact with the Shennong Sect was unpleasant, and since the people of the Shennong Sect are still in contact with Ding Huanchun, Qin Zhou really needs to consider whether or not to help his old friend fulfill this last wish.

Given his current state, it's clearly safer for the jade cabbage to remain in Chen Yang's hands.

"I think so too."

Chen Yang nodded. "Did your old friend ever mention anything special about this jade cabbage?"

Qin Zhou shook his head. "Back then, he gave me this stuff, and then he kicked the bucket after saying only a few words. I looked up some information later, but I didn't get much. It's just that it's said that if you soak this stuff in hot water and drink it, it can strengthen your body and prevent all diseases. I soaked it in hot water for a while. Preventing all diseases is a bit of an exaggeration, but it really does strengthen your body. It can definitely improve your physique, but the effect is negligible..."

……

Chen Yang didn't ask any more questions. Once the eight-winged centipede woke up and obtained Lu Lingfeng's memories, given Lu Lingfeng's status and position in the Shennong Sect, he should be able to know the secret of this jade cabbage.

"Take good care of yourself, I'll come see you again when I have time."

Chen Yang didn't stay in Qinzhou for long. Before leaving, he gave him two bottles of Jade Bone Pills and one bottle of Golden Wound Medicine. One was for treating external injuries, and the other was to help him nourish his bones and speed up his recovery.

……

-

As I left the residential area, I received a phone call from Xue Kaiqi.

Chen Yang had originally planned to go straight back to Emei, but after receiving the call, he turned around and went to Taihetang.

Xue Kaiqi happened to be in Lingjiang these past two days. When I arrived at Xue Kaiqi's office, Zhang Yafeng was also there. The two were already discussing marriage, but since her grandfather had just passed away not long ago, the wedding date was still under discussion.

Although the custom of not holding weddings during the mourning period is rarely observed in folk customs nowadays, the Xue family is still a prominent family in Sichuan, and they have to be mindful of their image to avoid being gossiped about behind their backs.

The office was set at 24 degrees Celsius; stepping inside felt like entering paradise.

"What happened? Why is someone dead?"

Chen Yang greeted the two men and then sat down on the sofa.

I didn't explain things clearly on the phone just now. I just said that someone in the Bai family of Dongshan seemed to have died, and asked Chen Yang if he knew anything about the situation.

Zhang Yafeng made Chen Yang a cup of tea, and Xue Kaiqi said, "I only heard that a few days ago the Bai family sent people to Qishan, and one died and one was seriously injured. The seriously injured one escaped back, but he fainted before he could explain himself. It seems that he is still lying in the intensive care unit of Xihua Hospital..."

Chen Yang frowned as he listened.

Xue Kaiqi said, "I was thinking, if they go to Qishan, you might find out..."

Chen Yang said, "The two people you mentioned, they went to Qishan on June 18th, right? They should be two brothers, one named Bai Changshan and the other named Bai Changhai."

"Correct."

Xue Kaiqi nodded, her eyes shining. "You didn't do it, did you?"

One dead and one injured, and in Qishan no less, it's hard not to suspect that Chen Yang was behind it.

Chen Yang shook his head. "Those two aren't worth my time. But I saw them the other day. They were asking about Long Tuo Cao's whereabouts, and they couldn't even find their way..."

"Oh?"

Xue Kaiqi was taken aback for a moment.

Her first reaction was that Chen Yang was behind it, since he had said he would help her deal with the matter with the Bai family of Dongshan.

She called Chen Yang to confirm this.

But Chen Yang denied it, which makes things a bit strange.

If Chen Yang did this, he certainly wouldn't deny it. So what happened? Did they encounter something in the mountains?

Those were two Spirit Realm experts, their strength was considerable, and they died so inexplicably on Qishan Mountain? Is Qishan Mountain really that dangerous?

Not only was Xue Kaiqi puzzled, but Chen Yang was also somewhat surprised.

Qishan is neither small nor large. In the past six months, he has dealt with most of the powerful spirits in the mountain, leaving only benevolent spirits.

That day, the two Bai brothers went up the mountain. If they had encountered something while heading towards Mixiangou, that would have been fine. But Huang Can pointed them in the opposite direction. If they had gone towards Huangjia Village, they would have been able to get out of the mountains in no time. It wasn't a deep mountain there, so what danger could they have encountered?
Chen Yang asked, "Do you know what they went through?"

Xue Kaiqi shook her head. "The one who survived is still seriously injured and unconscious. I can't get any information about him. I'm afraid the Bai family will use this to their advantage, saying that our Xue family is behind it, and then they'll make trouble. Last night, my second aunt was being sarcastic and cryptic. She's been in contact with the Bai family, and it seems like they have that idea..."

"Ah."

Chen Yang chuckled, "Without any evidence, would they dare?"

"This kind of thing doesn't need any evidence."

Zhang Yafeng picked up the thread, "They just need an excuse to attack the Xue family. Do you think they can reason with them? You weren't there last night, but her second aunt's attitude was so arrogant, she was practically strutting around like crazy. Apparently, the Bai family sent a Creation Realm expert, along with a Creation Realm guardian spirit. They were all bragging and their words were full of threats..."

"This is a small matter."

Chen Yang, however, seemed completely unconcerned. "What are they doing running off to Qishan for no reason?"

His interest in even making a move was not piqued by the mere Creation Realm.

Xue Kaiqi shook her head and said, "We don't have much information. They haven't officially contacted our family yet. I originally thought that this incident would make the Bai family more cautious, but it seems that the reality is quite the opposite. They might really use this as an excuse to cause trouble for our family..."

"Ah."

Chen Yang nodded. "Then let's wait and see. Contact me if there are any problems."

Xue Kaiqi said, "I'll be staying in Lingjiang for a while. I told my second uncle that if the Bai family causes trouble, we should invite them to Lingjiang..."

"That's even better!"

This will save me the trouble of making another trip to the provincial capital.

Chen Yang didn't take the Bai family of Dongshan seriously, after all, the five major immortal sects of Dongshan were only on par with the five sects of Panshan in Shu.

The Bai family didn't have a Dao True Realm cultivator, so they only had a Creation Realm cultivator and a spirit beast guarding the family. This lineup didn't interest him at all.

What interested him more was what the two brothers had encountered on Qishan Mountain.

Could it be that something extraordinary has happened on Qishan Mountain recently?

This thing must be quite something, capable of killing one and injuring the other of two experts at the Spirit Realm.

I'll have to investigate this properly when I get back.

After all, it was his own little plot of land, and he had to clean up the dirt; he was somewhat of a germaphobe.

……

After having lunch with Xue Kaiqi and Zhang Yafeng, Chen Yang drove back to Emei.

Having received Chen Yang's promise, Xue Kaiqi felt more confident.

Although she didn't know Chen Yang's current cultivation level, the fact that Chen Yang could remain so calm and indifferent after knowing the other party's background was enough to prove that Chen Yang didn't take the Dongshan Bai family seriously.

Chen Yang returned to Baoguo Temple at around 3 p.m.

He took a branch of the Three-Corpse Human-Faced Tree from the system's warehouse, then went directly to the association to find Wang Yuanchao, and together they went to see Li Xiulian.

She had already written what she was asked to write that morning, and Wang Yuanchao made a copy for Chen Yang. It was originally intended as a statement and needed to be kept on file within the association.

Chen Yang glanced at it briefly, but time was limited and he couldn't distinguish between the real and fake. He'd show it to the Three Corpse Divine Tree later.

Upon arriving at the underground cell, Chen Yang found a small opening in the door and delivered the items Li Xiulian had requested inside.

This time, Chen Yang kept his word, and Li Xiulian's anxious heart was finally at ease.

Holding that branch, she sat on the ground and cried for a while.

This woman was beautiful, and her tears, like pear blossoms in the rain, truly made one feel sorry for her.

"I've done what I promised you, so we're even now," Chen Yang said.

Li Xiulian ignored him and just kept crying.

Chen Yang shook his head. If only he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have done it in the first place.

Wang Yuanchao couldn't stand it any longer and said, "Once you get to the capital, confess honestly and behave well. You might not necessarily die. If you have a chance to live, behave well and turn over a new leaf..."

Chen Yang looked at Wang Yuanchao. This old man, who was originally hot-tempered, seemed to be much more tolerant towards beautiful women.

Li Xiulian sobbed for a moment, then turned to Chen Yang with tearful eyes, "That night at Mount Si'e, before Ding Huanchun self-destructed, he communicated with me telepathically, telling me to find someone at Mount Jishi after I escaped..."

"Oh?"

Chen Yang raised an eyebrow.

Upon hearing this, Wang Yuanchao quickly sat back down at the table and picked up a pen and paper to take notes.

Surprisingly, there was even a gain?
"Who are you looking for?" Chen Yang asked quickly.

Li Xiulian shook her head. "I don't know. He was too good at disguising himself. I always thought he was my brother. I only knew that he called that person 'Lord,' and he seemed to be an extraordinary figure..."

Where is Jishi Mountain?

"do not know."

"What do you want with this person?"

"I don't know. He only had time to tell me to find someone before he exploded."

……

-

He came out of the cell.

"Could she be making up a lie to fool us?"

Chen Yang frowned.

He searched for Jishishan on his phone, but didn't find any useful information.

“At a time like this, she has no need to play tricks on us.”

Wang Yuanchao shook his head. "I'll search the database in a bit and see if I can find any information."

The two walked towards the office.

Although the information suddenly revealed by Li Xiulian is not much, if it is true, it will likely have a significant impact.

That means that although Ding Huanchun is dead, he still has someone standing behind him.

The fact that Ding Huanchun addressed him as "Lord" suggests that this person's identity is far from simple; he might very well be a big fish.

The seriousness of this matter is self-evident.

……

-

Upon arriving at the office, Wang Yuanchao immediately began researching the relevant information.

Chen Yang wasn't interested in other things, but when it came to Ding Huanchun, he couldn't help but be interested.

He stood next to Wang Yuanchao, who turned on the computer, entered the association's official database, typed in Jishishan, and searched for information.
