C2 A Game of Chess Two People
"He's here?"
In the tallest building of one of the Four Great Heavenly Palaces, the Sky Bearing Empire, stood a middle-aged man with a solemn expression. His sword-like eyebrows were as sharp as a sword from its scabbard, and his sharp gaze made one dare not look directly at him.
Under his leadership, the Sky Bearing Empire became the head of the Four Great Heavenly Palaces. The strongest power in the Northern Lands, not a single one was left unscathed!
"We've just arrived and have already made arrangements. I wonder what arrangements the Lord Prefect will make next?" The youth that had appeared at the Xu family's residence stood behind the middle-aged man and asked.
"That person will take a few more days to reach the Northern Lands. Wait a few more days." The middle-aged man's sword-like eyebrows creased slightly. After some thought, he said, "However, you can now release the false news of Xu Chen dying from a fire poison outbreak."
"Got it." The youth didn't ask any more questions and walked out. He didn't need the Martial House Master to explain anything else as he would handle the matter well.
As for Xu Chen, the youth brought him to the Sky Bearing Empire. After arranging a place for him to stay, he only said that he would wait for someone to come and find him, and he never showed up again.
Xu Chen didn't ask too many questions. Since he was already here, he decided to settle down. His life was just like living in the Xu family.
After listening to He Yu read during the day and taking a walk around the Sky Bearing Empire at night, he went to sleep early. This was a habit of his. It was as if he was in the Xu family and only had a new courtyard to live in.
The snow continued to fall for a long time, until the next morning.
Xu Chen was used to getting up early to practice martial arts. Every day in the Xu family, he would practice his fist arts. This was something that he had personally taught him since he was young.
Although he was no longer in the Xu family, he was used to it and did not want to give up.
In other words, he couldn't train in the divine way. He wanted to try to cultivate in the martial way, so that he could live past twenty.
Actually, it was extremely difficult and easy for Xu Chen to live past the age of twenty. As long as he did not have to borrow any external force and possessed his own energy, he would be able to dispel the Fire Poison.
And if he wanted to obtain power, in the East Peak Mainland, the only way to cultivate would never be through the Divine Veins.
The Profound East Continent was a world full of magical colors. Other than those who cultivated the divine way, there were also two other cultivators who didn't have divine meridians. One of them was a martial artist who cultivated his own martial power.
This kind of cultivation method's highest achievement in the future might not be comparable to a Divine Vein master, but the effort it put in was thousands of times greater than that of a Divine Vein master.
One could imagine how painful it would be to break through the limits of the body. Perhaps only the practitioners themselves knew.
On the other hand, Xu Chen was trying his best to get rid of the fire poison in his body. However, it seemed a little unrealistic. He might die before he could even begin.
His body was too weak.
However, this did not shake his belief that he wanted to live on, so even though Xu Chen did not show any improvement in his martial arts path.
But he never gave up trying.
Compared to the first two methods, the other method of training should be the easiest and the hardest.
That was the path of saints. No matter what one comprehended to the extreme, one could obtain the approval of the divine way to ascend to become a sage. However, this extreme was extremely difficult.
Most people, even in their old age, had never touched the threshold of the Saint. They did not even understand the word 'transcendent'.
Perhaps it was because he had suffered from the fire poison since he was young, but Xu Chen chose to study medicine on the path of saints.
Perhaps in other words, the majority of people would choose to use this method because it had a wide range of uses, with the exception of some special clans or geniuses with special techniques.
But regretfully, he had read all the medical books in the world and tasted countless medicinal herbs, yet he had never treated anyone.
This was a very sad thing.
But even more sorrowful and helpless was the warmth of his maid. She was clearly a genius with five divine veins, yet she could not cultivate.
The reason for this was even more intriguing, but Xu Chen felt that it was worth it.
As for Xu Chen, due to his weak body, he could only choose to be gentle while practicing martial arts.
The punching routine that he was practising right now was specially selected by Warm Jade for him.
He was neither fast nor slow, and he might not have enough strength, but he was strong enough.
And although Warm Jade couldn't cultivate in the Divine Veins, she seemed to have reached the ninth level of the Spirit Condensation realm through her own efforts in the Martial Dao.
In the Profound East Continent, the realms were divided into three realms: the Body Transformation Realm, the Spirit Gathering Realm, the Spirit Transformation Realm, the Spirit Condensation Realm, the Divine Soul Realm, the Lesser Profound Realm, the Spirit Realm, the Spirit Realm, the Divine Aperture Realm, the Heavenly Dao Realm, the Formless Realm, and the Divine Aura Realm.
With his strength at the ninth level of the Warm Jade Spirit Realm, he could be considered quite good even if he looked at the geniuses of the younger generation of the Xu family.
However, for some reason, the hot jade had been stuck in this realm for a long time. Xu Chen knew a bit about the reason, but he wasn't too clear about it.
"Warm Jade, she came as well?" Xu Chen suddenly asked as he punched the air.
"I can feel her nearby." Warm Jade had never deceived Xu Chen before. Perhaps the upper echelons of the Xu family would nurture her by his side since she was a maid and a deathsworn.
However, in the eyes of Wen Yu, Xu Chen was not only a young master, but also a younger brother who had grown up together. He was like a younger brother, so no matter what happened, Wen Yu would never lie to him.
Just like how he told him the truth about the matter in the main hall yesterday, it was also a warm jade.
The corresponding price was that the Patriarch sent the person that had been hiding in the darkness.
Although Xu Chen had never seen that person before, he knew that person's existence. Thus, when Wen Yu said that she had sensed that person, Xu Chen had not spoken for a very long time.
"Father shouldn't have let her come." After a long silence, Xu Chen said, "I'm already a dying man, and no one can save me. Why would I need you to accompany me in death?"
"Warm Jade grew up with you, and so did she. If you must die, then there must be someone to lead you on the path to the Yellow Springs." To the Warm Jade, if Xu Chen died, their existence would be meaningless.
Although Xu Chen had never seen light before, he could not cultivate. He could only wait for death to come. He did not dare to die, at least not so easily.
Because if he did, there would be many people accompanying him to death, just like that person who destroyed his divine vein.
If Xu Chen's Divine Veins weren't destroyed, many people on the Eastern Xuan Continent would die. Countless powerful clans would be wiped out.
At that time, the East Xuan Continent would be reshuffled, so those people that originally had no relationship with Xu Chen would destroy his divine veins. It was very illogical and very reasonable.
"I will live well." No one would want to die, not even Xu Chen. When he passed every day in torment, even if time went by, he would still want to see the world with his own eyes.
What Xu Chen and Wen Yu didn't know was that in the early morning, the two of them would peacefully practice, while a violent storm was brewing on the Eastern Xuan Continent.
In the early morning, the Sky Bearing Empire sent an obituary to the Xu Family. On the first day Xu Chen arrived at the Sky Bearing Empire, the fire poison within his body had already died and his "corpse" would be sent back to the Xu Family.
And after the Xu family received the news, what was strange was that no one in the Xu family questioned the truth of the matter. And what was strange was that in the Xu family, other than a mournful cry, no one was angry.
Xu Chen's' death 'was not met with any anger, nor was it reprimanded by anyone. With his supreme status within the Xu family, wasn't this worth pondering over?
The news of Xu Chen's violent death spread across the entire Eastern Xuan Continent in less than three days like a flapping wind.
Those who had received Xu Chen's favor all stepped forward to avenge the Xu family's actions of denouncing the Sky Bearing Empire.
Moreover, he directly announced to the outside world that he would give the Xu family an explanation. As long as it was within the limits of what the Heavenly Bearing Palace could bear, everything would be given as compensation to the Xu family!
As soon as the announcement was made by the Sky Bearing Empire, the denouncing powers immediately fell silent and no one made a sound.
After the news of Xu Chen's sudden death had been sent to the Sky Bearing Empire, a young girl wearing a black tight suit appeared in front of Xu Liyang.
Her appearance could be described as exactly the same as the warm jade. She had the same curved and thin brows, the same exquisite and exquisite nose, and the same captivating red lips.
The only difference was that Warm Jade Man was just like her name. She looked as warm as jade, but she was like a shadow. Her face was cold and resolute, and her body emitted a kind of ice-cold feeling.
"Patriarch, the Young Lord is safe and sound, he is still at the Sky Bearing Empire." The young girl knelt down on one knee in front of Xu Liyang. Her words were as concise as her appearance.
"If Xu Chen isn't dead, then why did the Sky Bearing Empire send such a message?"
"What exactly does the Sky Bearing Empire want to do!" Xu Liyang clenched his fists. Even if he knew that Xu Chen was still alive, he knew that this was only a matter of time.
Xu Liyang pondered for a long time. Although he couldn't figure out what the Sky Bearing Empire was trying to do, he still couldn't figure it out.
However, he knew that the plans of the Sky Bearing Empire were definitely not trivial. Since the Sky Bearing Empire was willing to pay any price to do this, he, Xu Liyang, would take a proper look.
"You guys have set up such a big trap, if I don't fall, then all of you will be wasting your time!"
Thus, after the Xu family made their move, no one in the Xu family went to the Sky Bearing Empire to "collect" Xu Chen's corpse. They were abnormally calm.
This made it hard for the Sky Bearing Empire to understand. This made the entire northernmost region of the East Xuan Continent feel a strange atmosphere. Many forces felt restless!
