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

After carefully putting away the blood-red broken dagger, footsteps approached. Ma Feilong returned with the remaining guards, and Luo Yan also arrived at the scene with reinforcements.

"Junior Brother Chen, how are you?" Luo Yan rushed forward and asked with concern as soon as she saw Chen You.

Chen You brushed the dust off his clothes and said in a relaxed tone, "I'm fine. The Tiger and Leopard Duo has been dealt with."

"Great! That's fantastic!!!"

Upon hearing this, the group of people, who had been on tenterhooks, were overjoyed.

Ma Feilong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with lingering fear, "That was a rare treasure! We were so grateful that Brother Chen acted decisively just now, otherwise we would have suffered heavy losses today."

Chen You glanced at the mess on the ground and sighed, "It's a pity that two brothers still died."

A trace of sadness flashed in Luo Yan's eyes as she sighed softly, "When you're out on a mission, casualties are inevitable... Let's properly collect the remains of our fallen brothers."

"Yes, Miss!" The guards rushed forward to handle the aftermath.

Before long, Chen You and Luo Yan returned to the convoy together.

With no outsiders present, Luo Yan lowered her voice and asked, "Did you put that rare treasure away safely?"

"Yes, that's right." Chen You nodded.

Luo Yan's expression turned slightly serious as she warned, "As far as I know, that extraordinary treasure is called the Crimson Broken Dagger. Although it is extremely powerful, it is also very strange and extremely dangerous to use. You must be very careful."

Then, Luo Yan described the characteristics of the blood-red broken dagger.

These characteristics are exactly the same as what Chen You had seen in the information before.

At the same time, he also saw Luo Yan's desires.

[Desire: I don't want you to use the Crimson Broken Dagger! It's too dangerous and will turn you into a little old man, which wouldn't be handsome! (Completion rewards 20 Desire Points.)]

Chen You smiled inwardly; this Senior Sister Luo Yan was quite the looks-obsessed person.

"Senior sister, I understand. Don't worry, I will never use it unless absolutely necessary."

Chen You said earnestly, "However, please instruct your servants to keep my acquisition of the rare treasure a secret."

In fact, with his current strength, he could practically do whatever he wanted back in Qing Shi Town.

Few can rival him.

However, one should always be humble.

Luo Yan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I just told my uncle to give the order. However, there are many people here, and if this goes on for too long, word will eventually spread!"

"Yes, I understand."

"Of course, don't worry. In Qinghe County, the Luo family still wields considerable influence. Now that you're a member of the Luo family, I won't let you suffer any losses."

"Senior sister, this extraordinary treasure is so rare, isn't it? Have you ever seen one before? Or, in Qinghe County, who else possesses it?"

Today was the first time he had encountered a rare treasure, which left a deep impression on him.

If I hadn't seen the information, I probably would have suffered a great loss if I had faced Xu Hu for the first time.

No, it could even result in physical harm!

It's a bit scary to think about it.

Luo Yan recalled, "Rare treasures are things that are hard to come by. As far as I know, they exist in some families and forces that have been passed down for hundreds or even thousands of years. They won't take them out unless absolutely necessary! But in Qinghe County, our Qinghe County is too small. I haven't heard of them."

Then, Luo Yan talked about many kinds of rare treasures.

Her family has a book called the Illustrated Compendium of Exotic Treasures.

Inside are rare treasures resembling dice. After rolling them, you get a number, which can be used to teleport you a random distance.

However, a side effect is that the teleportation location is uncertain!

It could trap someone in a wall or cause them to fall into a fire, which would result in immediate death.

There are also rare stone treasures that, when carried, can greatly enhance physical defense and strength.

The side effect is that over time, the body will gradually turn to stone.

Eventually, the person will be completely petrified.

"Oh, right, when I was a kid, I went to the capital and saw a strange treasure at an auction! It was called a Flesh Ring. Depending on its level, it contained a bizarre alternate dimension that could store items and such!! And it had very few side effects; it only needed to be nourished with a drop of blood each day to be used..."

Chen You's heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself, "Isn't this the spatial ring from the novels I read in my previous life?"

However, there are some differences.

This thing called the Flesh Ring needs to absorb one drop of blood every day...

However, to be fair, these side effects are really nothing.

"It seems that the side effects of rare treasures vary in severity," Chen You analyzed.

"That's right. Your blood-red broken dagger is a rare treasure that must be used with extreme care. Look at that dead Xu Hu. His blood and qi were drained from his body, his hair was all white, and when we checked him just now, we found that even his teeth were missing. If we hadn't seen him before, we would have thought he was a hundred-year-old man."

Luo Yan said with lingering fear, "I wouldn't want such a rare treasure even if it were given to me for free."

After this incident, everyone in the team looked at Chen You in a completely different way.

The previous disdain has vanished, replaced by heartfelt awe and respect!

No one dared to gossip behind his back anymore, saying that he only received preferential treatment because of his senior sister Luo Yan.

Especially Ma Feilong, after witnessing Chen You's strength and ruthlessness, became extremely attentive to him, serving him tea and water along the way.

Two days later, at the Sanhewan Town Wharf.

The convoy arrived at its destination smoothly, and Chen You temporarily parted ways with Luo Yan and her group.

Luo Yan led her caravan, laden with goods, to town to pay her respects to the head instructor, Luo Haiping.

Chen You then returned alone to his residence near the dock.

After a long and tiring journey, by the time Chen You returned to his residence, it was already half dark.

After washing off the dust, he decided to go out and check on his men, Lao Mu, A Shui, and Da Kui.

By the way, ask if the letter the monkey sent him has arrived yet.

The letter mentioned that Tang Jili, the strategist of the Black Shark Gang, colluded with the Fang family of Baicaotang to target the Luo family.

Therefore, the Luo family must be prepared in advance.

However, after taking only a few steps, Chen You keenly sensed that something was amiss in the atmosphere around him.

The streets were deserted under the cover of night. Some dockworkers or gang members who were acquaintances saw him approaching and their eyes flashed with panic and fear. They all lowered their heads and walked around him closely, not daring to meet his gaze.

Seeing everyone's unusual and evasive attitude, Chen You frowned slightly!

strange!

too weird.

Given his current status, which of these servants wouldn't bow and scrape as they greet him?

But now, everyone is avoiding him.

"There must be something fishy going on!"

"Research for information about me in the vicinity."

[Message 1: The monkey returned here five days ago with your letter, but because he didn't bow to Luo Lei, Luo Lei was furious and imprisoned him on trumped-up charges, subjecting him to severe torture!]

[Information 2: Lao Mu, Da Kui, and A Shui went to Instructor Luo Haitang to plead for mercy, but Luo Haitang was out. Upon learning this, Luo Lei sent men to beat the three of them up. They are now all at home recovering from their injuries and bedridden.]

[Information 3: Three days ago, Luo Haitang was ambushed by members of the Fang family disguised as members of the Black Shark Gang. She was seriously injured and her life is in danger. Luo Lei was overjoyed upon hearing this, believing she was doomed! He thought, "If she dies, you'll have no backing."]
