As the head of his family, Chen Mingxuan had no right to interfere in matters such as a small family from another state visiting.
How long will it take to find out?
Chen Tianwen asked coldly.
Chen Mingxuan frowned and pondered for a while.
"Ten days!"
The western border is more than ten thousand miles long, and every day countless families with the surname Chen come here to settle down, and then move away again.
Finding a small family that had fled from another place in ten days was already a very fast pace.
Chen Tianwen nodded: "Give me a result in ten days."
With that, he flicked his sleeve, walked out of the reception room, and his body instantly transformed into a streak of cold light, disappearing into the horizon.
Only then did the pressure on Chen Mingxuan suddenly ease.
He then realized that his back was already soaked with cold sweat.
"elder brother!"
Chen Minghe scrambled forward in a few steps, helped Chen Mingxuan up, and then asked, "What do we do now?"
There was a hint of fear in his voice.
The pressure Chen Tianwen put on him was immense.
"What else can we do!"
Chen Mingxuan looked at his disappointing younger brother and scolded him irritably, "If you hadn't been so nosy, would this guy have thrown such a tantrum?"
Chen Mingxuan really wanted to kick his good-for-nothing younger brother to death.
With just two sentences, he completely offended Chen Tianwen.
Now look what's happened! The ancestor we were about to get is gone, and we've even offended Chen Tianwen.
How are we supposed to live like this from now on?
Chen Mingxuan is now in a real bind.
He pointed at the two Nascent Soul cultivators with broken legs and ordered, "You two, hurry up and go to the Imperial Clan Court to check if there are any collateral relatives who fled from Qingzhou during this period."
Then he looked at Chen Minghe and said, "Take a few quick-witted men and go look around. You must find this Chen family!"
Although reluctant, Chen Minghe nodded in agreement and then led the people out the door.
The other Nascent Soul cultivators also retreated to heal their injuries.
at the same time.
Yunzhou, in the southern region
Nine Wolves City.
Nestled in the valley is a vast grassland, where a colossal city stands.
Unlike the bustling cities of Guibei and Jingjiang, this city, surrounded by mountains, appears somewhat desolate.
But there were only a few.
Because the mountains are teeming with monsters, this place attracts a large number of mercenaries who come to hunt them.
For this reason, Nine Wolves City is also known as the City of Mercenaries.
There are no government offices here, making it a true outlying place.
Long ago, this place was jointly governed by nine mercenary groups.
However, three hundred years ago, a mercenary group called Mountain Wolves rose to power. Its leader, Li Feng, broke through from the Nascent Soul stage to the Deity stage, leading the Mountain Wolves to conquer and annex all nine other mercenary groups.
Later, the Mountain Wolf Mercenary Group was renamed the Sky Wolf Mercenary Group, and starting from Nine Wolves City, it quickly developed into a large mercenary group that dominated the entire southern region.
Nine Wolves City remains the headquarters of the Sky Wolf Mercenary Group.
Nine Wolves City, the base of the Sky Wolf Mercenary Group.
In a magnificent hall, the high-ranking members of the Sirius Mercenary Group were all gathered.
The leader was a man with a deep and profound aura. He was thin, with downcast eyes, and his whole being was like a drawn sword, constantly radiating a chilling aura.
Without a doubt, this person is Li Feng, the leader of the Sirius Mercenary Group.
At this moment, Li Feng was looking down at a mercenary kneeling on the ground.
The mercenary was wearing tattered red armor and was covered in wounds, clearly indicating that he had been subjected to inhumane treatment.
His eyes were filled with terror as he looked at Li Feng, as if he had seen a demon crawling out of the abyss.
Are you telling the truth?
Li Feng spoke, his voice hoarse and radiating a chilling aura.
The mercenary nodded and said, "Everything I said is true."
Because his teeth had been knocked out, his speech was not clear.
However, this does not prevent others from understanding.
"Did that guy surnamed Chen really enter the Purple Meteor Secret Realm?" Li Feng asked again.
"I saw it with my own eyes; he entered the Purple Meteor Ruins, and he was the first one in!"
The mercenary said with absolute certainty.
He was originally a mercenary of the Chifeng Mercenary Group. That day outside the Ziyun Ruins, in order to survive, he followed Liu Weibei and chose to join the Tianlang Mercenary Group.
Who knew that what happened next was so unexpected?
After Liu Weibei was killed by Shu Yiyao with a single sword strike, he didn't even dare to return to Guibei City. He could only secretly come to the Tianlang Mercenary Group to see if he could find a way to survive.
But the Sirius Mercenary Group was far too cunning.
They have absolutely no sense of martial ethics.
They arrested him as soon as they came up.
They pressed him for information about Chen Tianwen.
Chen Tian asked a retainer, someone he, a low-ranking mercenary, could possibly know.
But the Sirius Mercenary Group didn't believe him and captured him, giving him a severe beating.
After more than a month of living hell.
He was just released from prison today.
"oh?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Li Feng's eyes.
"Only those below the Nascent Soul stage can enter the Purple Meteor Ruins. You mean, the person who killed my brother with a single sword strike was only a Nascent Soul cultivator?"
Li Feng countered with a question.
"I don't know that, sir. When the Chifeng Mercenary Group was driving us away, I just glanced at them from afar, and then..."
The mercenary's entire body trembled with fear as he spoke.
Seeing his expression, Li Feng waved his hand and said, "Take care of it."
He knew that this was all the information a mere Foundation Establishment mercenary could possibly know, and asking further wouldn't yield any valuable results.
Two Sirius mercenaries came running at the sound and dragged the half-dead Red Peak mercenary away.
The hall fell silent once more.
Li Feng looked around and then at the various division commanders, asking, "What are your thoughts on this matter?"
A bald, burly man clad in black iron armor stood up and said, "We've questioned over a hundred people in the past few days, both our own and those from Chifeng. They all saw that man surnamed Chen enter the Purple Meteor Ruins. I think he's most likely a Nascent Soul cultivator!"
"But how could a Nascent Soul cultivator kill the Second Regiment Commander with a single sword strike?"
"That's right, to kill with a single sword strike, one must be at least a sword cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage."
Several branch leaders voiced their doubts.
"The Purple Meteor Ruins don't lie!" the bald, burly man said. "As for how he killed Commander Li Hao, have you forgotten the black sword in his hand?"
After the bald, burly man's reminder, everyone present frowned.
During this time, they had heard from hundreds of people about the whole story of Chen Tianwen's actions.
However, all of them unanimously remembered that Chen Tianwen was holding a black sword.
"You suspect there's something wrong with this sword?"
Li Feng narrowed his eyes, a glint of light flashing within them.
The bald, burly man nodded and said, "That's right. According to those present, seeing this sword causes a stinging sensation in one's spiritual sense. This phenomenon is very similar to the legendary Heavenly Rank sword—the Heart-Slaying Sword!"
