Chaotic World of Martial Arts: I Have a Spirit Pearl of Desire

[Information 4: After being injured, Tang Yan realized her own shortcomings and therefore wanted to find one or two like-minded, trustworthy, and skilled companions to search for the rare treasure together.]

"Luoyue Manor?"

Upon seeing this message, Chen You raised an eyebrow, surprised to find a wealthy young lady among them.

Chen You stroked his chin, his heart suddenly fluttering.

It wasn't that young lady I was attracted to.

Instead, it was a thrill... a rare treasure!

According to the information, this woman named Tang Yan was kidnapped while searching for the rare treasure.

So, that treasure hasn't been taken away yet.

That makes it simple.

"Get close to her and obtain the rare treasure!!"

Having tasted the benefits of the "Crimson Broken Dagger," Chen You knew all too well the usefulness of extraordinary treasures.

If we can obtain it, our strength will definitely improve further.

"I need to find a way to get close to her. Isn't she looking for someone to search for the rare treasure with? I'm capable enough, and my character is impeccable, I have a great reputation..."

"However, before that, the most urgent task is to get rid of the people in the Hundred Refinement Armory."

That Cheng Changyin is actually thinking of making a comeback and trying to deal with him...

Chen You didn't want such a hidden danger to remain by his side.

…………

Until noon.

After resting for a while, Chen You ate lunch in his room and then headed straight for the side courtyard arranged by Luo Haiping.

This row of houses has now been temporarily cleared out to house the more than 30 women who were rescued from the Bailian Armory Water Fortress last night.

The Luo family has already sent people to notify the families of these women to come and pick them up one by one.

As soon as Chen You stepped into the courtyard, the somewhat chaotic noise immediately subsided.

The women in the courtyard all turned their heads, and their gazes, filled with gratitude, awe, and curiosity, all fell upon him.

They knew perfectly well that it was this young swordsman with the cold eyes before them who had stormed into the dungeon like a god descending to earth last night, rescuing them from a hellish nightmare.

"Young Master Chen."

Just as Chen You was looking around, a somewhat hoarse voice rang out.

A woman slowly walked over.

She was tall and well-proportioned, half a head taller than the average woman, and even her coarse cloth clothes could not hide her slender and upright posture.

Her eyes were red and swollen, filled with an indelible sorrow.

Chen You stopped and looked at her: "Is something the matter?"

"I was kidnapped by the Cheng family. My parents... died at their hands!" The tall girl gritted her teeth, her eyes flashing with cold light, her fists clenched tightly. "Now I'm homeless, and those beasts from the Cheng family burned down our house!"

Looking at the deep-seated hatred in her eyes, Chen You sighed softly, "I see you're a martial artist?"

"Yes, but my strength is not high enough..." The tall girl suddenly looked up and pleaded, "Young Master Chen, I... can I join the patrol team?"

She's currently homeless and desperately needs food; joining the Luo family's patrol fleet would be a good option.

After all, in her opinion, the presence of someone like Chen You here meant that the people here must be decent, and she wouldn't be bullied if she stayed here.

"What's your name?" Chen You asked.

"Young hero, my name is Xu Feng!"

The tall, slender girl answered quickly, then added just as fast, "I know that there are some women secretly imprisoned in the Cheng family mansion! I was initially captured in the Cheng family's dungeon, and later transferred to the water fortress! I know the terrain there very well!"

"Okay, very good."

Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Chen You's eyes.

He originally planned to take advantage of the momentum after sweeping up the water stronghold and then organize his men to completely take down the Cheng family in the city, eliminating them from the root of the problem.

Now that a victim familiar with the inside story is leading the way, it's naturally the best thing ever.

"What is your current strength?" Chen You looked at her again.

"Late stage of first rank," Xu Feng answered truthfully.

Chen You nodded: "Okay, you can follow me from now on. By the way, in this team... who else has martial arts skills? If anyone is out of options, you can organize a separate women's patrol team here."

Chen You spoke calmly, his gaze casually sweeping over the crowd in the courtyard.

He knew very well that the woman with a special identity, "Tang Yan," was among this group of people.

But he would never actively seek out people, otherwise his purpose would be too obvious and he would easily arouse suspicion.

Upon hearing Chen You's words, Xu Feng's expression brightened with joy.

"Yes, yes, I have several sisters here."

"That's fine." Chen You nodded. "Next, we will take over the territory of the Hundred Refinement Armory. We need quite a few martial artists like you. As for the treatment, you will be treated the same as the people here."

"Thank you, sir."

"My name is Chen You. I'll go talk to the instructor about this now. You should take stock of the people here."

"Yes, sir."

After Chen You turned and left, Xu Feng quickly got to work.

Soon, five women gathered around him.

These women supported each other along the way and got to know each other very well.

"Tang Yan, don't you know kung fu too? You've injured your leg and are penniless, why don't you join us?" Xu Feng said to a petite woman.

In the corner, a disheveled woman stood with her brows furrowed.

As a young lady of the Tang family, she naturally disdained joining the forces here and becoming a mere patrol boat member!

But just like Xu Feng said, she was injured!!!

However, due to her special status, it was not advisable for her to reveal her identity.

After all, what if their enemies find out...

If people find out that her goal is to obtain a rare treasure, it will be very troublesome.

"Why don't we join first, stabilize our injuries, and then find a chance to leave..."

Tang Yan thought to herself.

She was determined to obtain the treasure.

Obtaining the extraordinary treasure will increase her strength and give her a higher status within the family...

No one knew that although she was a young lady of the Tang family, there were too many juniors in Luoyue Manor.

As for her, her birth mother was just a servant girl, and her father mistook her for someone else when he was drunk!

Therefore, she didn't have much status in the family.

However, if one possesses a rare treasure, everything changes.

She and her mother both received special attention from the family!

"OK."

Tang Yan limped over to Xu Feng's side.

At this moment, Chen You and Luo Haiping discussed their idea of ​​forming a women's patrol team and their plans to attack the Hundred Refinements Armory in three days.

According to Luo Haiping, all the major forces in the vicinity have already dispatched personnel to the Hundred Refinements Armory to take over that place.

Unfortunately, the Hundred Refinements Armory has incurred the wrath of the masses this time.

Many factions have discovered that numerous women under their command have mysteriously disappeared.

And the mastermind behind all of this is none other than the Hundred Refinements Armory!

It is said that a group of women are being held captive inside the Hundred Refinements Armory.

Now, more and more rumors are circulating in the martial arts world.

The people at the Hundred Refinements Armory practice evil arts, using women's blood and essence to refine blood pills.

Some say that the people inside practiced the Hehuan Gong (a type of spiritual cultivation technique), and the women were drained of their life force and turned into dried-up human bodies.

In short, the Hundred Refinements Armory has now been completely demonized and is universally condemned.

As the rumors grew stronger, some opportunists secretly headed to the vicinity of the Hundred Refinement Armory, intending to take advantage of the chaos while the major powers were dealing with it and make a quick buck.

After Chen You came out, Xu Feng quickly came up to him: "Lord Chen, these are the men I just assembled. They have all learned martial arts."

Chen You looked at the group of women, nodded slightly, and then turned to Lao Mu and instructed, "Lao Mu, take them to collect their clothes later, and then arrange their accommodations. Arrange a decent place for them, and remind them of the rules again."

"Okay, Captain Chen."

Chen You's gaze naturally swept across the courtyard, finally settling on Tang Yan.

The woman was filthy and disheveled; she was the same disheveled woman from the ship's cabin dungeon last night.

Upon closer inspection, Chen You noticed that her left leg was bent somewhat unnaturally, and bloodstains were faintly visible through the hem of her skirt.

"Are you injured? How are you?" Chen You walked forward slowly and asked in a gentle voice.

Before the woman could answer, Xu Feng quickly followed up with an explanation: "Lord Chen, this is Miss Tang Yan. She's actually quite skilled, but she was seriously injured during the battle when the Cheng family attacked her. Now she's penniless and has no money for treatment, so she can only tough it out..."

As she spoke, Tang Yan slightly raised her head, revealing a pair of clear but somewhat wary eyes.

Several women around her who knew her also cast hopeful and pleading glances at her.

After all, Tang Yan had helped them a lot along the way.
