Be Passive In The High Martial World

Chapter 96: Use masters to kill him! (triple)

The cyan figure fell in front of him, and Chen An recognized it instantly.

Although he only met her once, in order to investigate his big brother who suddenly appeared, he also investigated the "friends" he brought with him, and he was deeply impressed by this woman in green.

The profound reason is none other than that this person's attitude towards Chen Kuang is definitely not the equality that a friend should have, but the respect and loyalty between a guard and a maid.

In the eyes of this woman in green, except for Chen Kuang, she didn't care about anyone else.

It can be said to be "arrogant" in another sense.

This is also one of the important reasons why Chen An feels that his eldest brother is suspicious - the demeanor of his friends is obviously not ordinary.

If, as Chen Kuang himself said, he had been making a living as a wandering musician all these years, how could he have so many friends?

These days, when the current situation is turbulent, there are very few women with such magnanimity who can show their faces in public. Even if they are in trouble, it is not necessarily the case that a wandering musician who is homeless himself will come to rescue her.

And if they really met on the road, why should they be so enthusiastic to help each other and ignore their own safety?

No matter how you look at it, it's very suspicious.

If Chen An had been at home at the time, he would definitely not have let him enter the house so easily, but unfortunately it was Gantang who was at home at the time...

Later, Chen An also entrusted the "local official" to help with the investigation, but until now, he has not received accurate intelligence feedback.

Pei Xiu, on the other hand, had hinted to him over and over again that there was no problem with Chen Kuang's identity, and he would not covet the Chen family.

This is also the reason why Chen An did not really test Chen Kuang, and why he did not object to his father's decision to let Chen Ning and Chen Kuang leave together.

But why did Pei Xiu not say so clearly, but hint that there would be no problem?

Chen An was still very confused about this, but couldn't get an answer.

At this moment, Chen An finally understood why Pei Xiu had such a cryptic attitude.

The woman in green clothes killed the Eight Meridians soldiers under the official's command on the spot with just one sword strike, killing them with one blow, neat and clean.

In other words, this Chen Kuang's "maid" is at least an Innate cultivation level!

Chen An was almost shocked.

Qingcuo looked at Chen An, stretched out her hand, and several long swords, including the one stuck on the head of the Eight Meridians soldier, all flew around her, like stars over the moon, with murderous intent.

The rain was pouring down, but there was only sword light intertwining around her, and the water couldn't splash in. It was like a Divine Maiden.

She didn't learn much, only one thing she really specialized in.

That is the art of killing.

"Everyone, please go back now. Please don't come out unless necessary."

Qingcuo turned his head and looked at the Chen family couple who hurriedly ran out of the hall at the back. His eyes were calm, he raised his sword and said calmly:

"I'm going to start killing people."

Chen Rong fearfully raised his hands towards Qingcuo and said in a trembling voice: "May I ask the girl..."

"Uh-huh!"

Qingcuo's sword flew diagonally, and another head fell to the ground behind him. It turned out that another officer and soldier wanted to make a sneak attack.

The head rolled off and the body fell to its knees. The scar as big as the mouth of a bowl was smooth and neat, and blood suddenly sprayed all over the ground.

Then it was washed away by the rain in an instant and disappeared in the heavy rain.

Chen Rong became more and more horrified and began to recall whether he and the people in the Chen family had done anything disrespectful to the Qingcuo group.

Fortunately, there is no——

Because Gan Tang attaches great importance to Chen Kuang, even the servants are repeatedly ordered to treat the eldest young master and his friends with the courtesy of a master.

Even they themselves only investigated secretly, for fear of irritating Gantang.

Outsiders don't know the inside story, but several of their relatives, especially Chen Rong, know very well that Gantang's grudge has reached the point of being a bit crazy...

This is why Chen Rong and Chen An are so cautious about Chen Kuang's identity. They don't want Gan Tang's love for children to be taken advantage of.

However, now it seems that they have thought too much.

Of course, it may be that I think less...

Now that the situation is becoming more and more serious, Qingcuo cannot tell them the truth, lest more accidents happen.

However, she thought about it and felt that she should appease Chen Kuang's family, so she said in her most tactful tone:

"Master and madam, there is no need to worry. This slave is just the master's maid. She is acting under orders to protect the Chen family. Please wait for a moment. When the master comes forward, he will naturally answer your questions."

In the eyes of this Chen Kuang-certified Slowpoke, if others are weaker than itself, it is equivalent to a sense of security, so one's own weakness is naturally the greatest comfort to others.

The guards or subordinates also seemed somewhat aggressive.

After much deliberation, the status of maid is still weak and safe enough, showing both her weakness and her loyalty.

Qingcuo is very satisfied with his response.

Little did he know that her words "servant" shocked the others present.

It was even far more unacceptable than when I saw her killing an eight-meridian master with one sword, just like cutting melons and vegetables.

Chen Rong was dumbfounded and stopped talking.

In their understanding, Chen An is already one of the top masters in the world. Among the Cao Gang, there are only two deputy gang leaders from the Innate Realm world. The remaining presidents and branch presidents are basically Jiumai. Also rare.

If it weren't for Chen An's young age and inexperience, in fact, with his strength, he would be able to compete for President Dangdang.

Qingcuo was one of the enemies that even Chen An struggled to deal with with one sword.

Obviously her cultivation level is higher than Chen An's. How could such a being call herself a maid "slave"? This is totally against common sense...

Before Qingcuo spoke, although the relationship between the two seemed to be similar to that of a master and servant, he could still explain it by saying that he had not heard how Chen Kuang used Qingcuo before, and he had not stated it clearly, and he only referred to them as friends.

But now, it is Qingcuo who has put the facts before his eyes.

In Chen Rong's understanding, the arrogance of practitioners is almost a fixed pattern.

If you say so...

There is probably only one possibility for a master to be willing to be a slave.

That is Chen Kuang's cultivation level, which is probably higher than that of the woman in green in front of him!

Chen Rong couldn't help but his eyebrows were beating wildly, and the heart in his chest was shaking involuntarily. Even though the Chen Mansion was in a mess, he felt a burning sensation in his heart.

This feeling was familiar to him.

He had this feeling when he heard an invitation from a friend that he could have the opportunity to work in Caogang.

At that time, he thought about it all night and decided to establish a relationship with the Caogang at any cost.

He had a hunch that he must seize this opportunity, otherwise he will regret it for the rest of his life!

Sure enough, many years later, Cao Gang stood out from many gangs and became a local gangster, and Chen Rong also became the famous Mr. Chen.

Now, it's the same feeling again.

only……

Chen Rong remembered Chen Kuang's attitude.

Then I thought of my indifference and secret investigation in the past few days... and the heat in my heart suddenly cooled down as if cold water had been poured on it.

Chen Rong smiled bitterly in his heart. It seemed that he had missed this opportunity.

On the side, Gantang quickly helped Chen An up in the rain and gave him a healing medicine. After hearing Qingcuo's words, he immediately raised his head and asked cautiously: "Miss Qing, did Kuang'er ask you to come? ?”

Qingcuo nodded.

Gantang said hurriedly: "What about him? Isn't he going to leave?"

Qingcuo shook his head and said: "Master still has things to do, and... this time the Chen family suffered a disaster, more or less, part of it should be directed at us."

"When I finish dealing with these people, if the master hasn't come forward yet, I will escort a few of them to leave first, so as not to affect you."

If it were purely aimed at the Chen family, naturally no master of cultivation like Jingshan Daoist would take action.

The information previously disclosed by Jingshan Daoist also showed that the county guard already knew the whereabouts of Chen Kuang and their whereabouts had been exposed.

I just don’t know how long it will take for the people from Martial Saint Pavilion to arrive.

If the Caobang simply took action, Qingcuo could handle it alone.

However, if there are three masters in the Martial Saint Pavilion who are close to the Grandmaster level, plus a group of disciples, it is not a difficult task, and it is almost equal to certain death.

Although Lin Eryou and Zhou Yanwei stayed, their help was limited, and Qingcuo could only hold back one at most.

Shen Xingzhu's Spirit Partitioning is enough to deal with one.

But the remaining one...

Qingcuo can't think of how to solve it.

Just now, Qingcuo has contacted Pei Xiu, and Pei Xiu temporarily serves as Chen Kuang's spokesperson. The main force of "Tu Zhengguan" has been sent to various places on the list. How many can be saved.

Nowadays, even if some of Liang Guo's hidden power is exposed, he can no longer care about it.

Previously, the Zhou Kingdom's education officer was not considered, but because there was King Qi on top, this best candidate for the crown prince still cared a little about his reputation and would try his best to show his "benevolent" side.

Although how much of this "benevolence" is implemented and how much real benefit it has to the victims, it will not allow the education officers to do too outrageous things to the people of the defeated country.

But this time, the King of Qi was going north to kill the barbarians, and there was no one to put pressure on the education officers. It was up to them to decide how to carry out education.

The education officer of Jishao County decided to join forces with the local county guard and local snake gangs to carry out suppressive purges in the most brutal way.

Directly silence all opposing voices and forces, so that no one dares to speak out in the future.

Once the Great Zhou's enlightenment operation started with such a fierce success, other education officials saw that it was effective and would definitely use it as a model.

The entire Liang Kingdom will truly be gone.

No matter what, they cannot let such a thing happen, otherwise it will be extremely difficult to revive the Liang Kingdom in the future.

For Chen Kuang, naturally he cannot let his family live in such an environment.

What's more, this gang of local snakes, who are collaborating with the county guards and correctional officers, also intends to get rid of the Chen family.

For him, does this mean getting rid of the Chen family?

Not only that, this is obviously to get rid of his three layers of armor!

This kind of thing is naturally absolutely impossible to happen!

The interests of both parties are consistent, so Chen Kuang is so concerned about this matter and makes various arrangements.

But he himself was just a Nine Meridians, and Qingcuo couldn't imagine how he would deal with the Martial Saint Pavilion master who might reach the half-step Grandmaster realm.

However, even though it was unexpected, Qingcuo was inexplicably not panicked.

She had seen how Chen Kuang managed to win a chance of life from death row. In just half a month, he went from a mortal with no cultivation to the current Nine Meridians cultivator.

I have also seen how he single-handedly broke the spine of Li Hongling, who was originally impossible to defeat.

He even witnessed how he lured away two elders of the Three Tribulations Sect Huoyue alone, successfully escaped and reunited with them.

Qingcuo is not good at dealing with emotions, but she is shocked in her heart.

This long-lasting and powerful shock is like the first crack in the glacier collapse. The dull and distant sound of the crack is not loud or intense, but it can echo to the bottom of the glacier, leading the entire glacier to gradually collapse.

I don’t know when, but Chen Kuang was like a crack in Qingcuo’s heart.

As long as he exists, he can break something and change something...

No matter what kind of insurmountable wall stands in front of them.

As long as Chen Kuang is around, sooner or later this high wall will be filled with cracks and eventually collapse.

Gantang was in a daze: "Kuang'er wants us to leave first? Does he want to stay and deal with these officers and soldiers by himself?"

She turned pale and said, "Can't he come with us..."

Qingcuo shook his head: "It's not these officers and soldiers."

Gantang was stunned, and before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard Qingcuo say: "They are enemies hundreds of times more powerful than them. Once they come, Chen Mansion, and even all the surrounding towns, may cease to exist. "

"So, Master and Madam, please pack your things as soon as possible. You don't have to worry now."

After Qingcuo said that, he flew up, and the flying swords around him moved randomly, swishing through the Chen Mansion, and beheaded all the remaining officers and soldiers like mowing grass.

Suddenly, the direction of the wind changed.

The officers and soldiers who were frightened out of their wits, broke down and fled, turned into the originally extremely arrogant officers and soldiers.

Chen Rong and Gan Tang supported Chen An and helped him back into the hall.

The three of them looked at each other speechlessly, with dripping water dripping from their bodies. Listening to the screams and the sound of wind and rain outside, they all fell silent in unison.

But the difference is that Gantang suffered from loss, while father and son had more complicated emotions because of the gap.

Chen Kuang's huge change in identity is undoubtedly unbelievable to them.

Chen Rong thought of his own precautions and the fleeting dislike he had for Chen Kuang's identity as a musician, and selfishly made up his mind that Chen Kuang could never inherit his family business. He actually felt like a joke.

Chen An remembered his arrogant words and deeds in front of Chen Kuang, and said something like "keep him safe for the rest of his life"...

As a result, now, Chen Kuang's "maid" saved his life.

Chen An was almost ashamed. He felt that when he saw Chen Kuang in the future, he might have to take a detour, otherwise he would think of these words when he saw him... He was so embarrassed that he wanted to commit suicide.

Once there is a gap between identity and cognition, the original suspicion seems to be overturned.

What's more, today's Chen family is no longer the same Chen family as before.

The Chen family is powerful in South Pier, but in the final analysis, it is because they are backed by the Cao Gang. Now that the Cao Gang wants to "clean up the door," others will naturally take advantage of the situation.

It is unknown how much of the Chen family's property will be left in the future.

However, although Qingcuo said that what happened today in the Chen Mansion was more or less related to Chen Kuang and his group, Chen Rong and Chen An were not stupid enough to think that Chen Kuang was the mastermind behind this matter.

The Caobang wanted to take action against the Chen family, not just in a day or two, but over a long period of time, coupled with Fan Hailong's arbitrary character.

I'm afraid they are not the only ones being liquidated today.

"Gugu..."

Suddenly a pigeon flew in from outside.

Chen An focused his eyes and waved, and the pigeon flew in, with a secret letter tied to his leg.

"He is the branch president of the West Pier..."

As he spoke, he unfolded it and took a look, and his face suddenly became even more ugly.

"He wrote to warn us. He got the news that Fan Hailong is going to attack all branches that are not his own faction and eliminate dissidents... Although this carrier pigeon is fast, it still takes half an hour to fly in the rain."

Chen Rong sighed: "The news about him was late. Now I'm afraid the situation is in danger...either he will be caught or killed."

This West Pier branch has always been on good terms with the Chen family, and their relationship is pretty good.

Now everyone is in danger.

Chen An released the pigeon in his hand, only to see that the pigeon did not leave. Instead, it lingered on the spot, "cooing" and flying low.

He was stunned for a moment, then said: "I'll go over and take a look."

Chen Rong said: "Be careful."

It was stormy and thunderous outside.

There are basically no other sounds in Chen's mansion, or in the entire town now.

Chen An climbed out of the window, jumped onto the wall, and looked down at the low place where the pigeon was lingering. His pupils suddenly tightened.

Lightning and thunder pierced the sky, briefly illuminating the dark clouds.

I saw the corpses of fourteen or five pigeons piled under the tree beside the wall of Chen Mansion!

Chen An's heart was beating wildly. He quickly went out and grabbed the pigeon corpses to check. There was a letter tied to each pigeon's foot.

He took them apart one by one.

"The Lan family who produced three top picks...the Ji family who publicly declared that they would rather die if the Zhou people entered the country...and the Yanhang and Yuehu Gang who did not deal with the Cao Gang..."

The more Chen An opened it, the more frightened he became.

There are fourteen pigeons in total, each representing a family or even a force.

They all got the news and wanted to send the message to others, but in the end, it was intercepted.

And this may still be the tip of the iceberg...

Chen An put the pigeon down and looked at the dark sky with rolling thunderclouds. The wind and rain were so strong that it almost obscured the sight, making it impossible for people to look up.

He took a breath and murmured:

"An enemy more powerful than the officers and soldiers, the county guard, and the Cao Gang..."

"Chen Kuang... I, the eldest brother, don't want to save the entire Jishao County, right?"

…

Sheriff's Mansion.

He was supposed to be the most distinguished county guard in the house, but at this moment, he and Fan Hailong from the Cao Gang were respectfully offering wine to the three people sitting in front of them.

And the education officer of the Zhou Kingdom stood beside him to accompany him.

As an indoctrination officer, he represents the grace and power that the Emperor of Zhou bestows on the defeated. Therefore, in order to maintain the dignity of the emperor, he does not have to bend to the members of the Martial Saint Pavilion.

Especially when the relationship between the Martial Saint Pavilion and the Kingdom of Zhou is excellent.

Even though the three opponents are all in the Moon Holding Realm, one of them is even at the peak of the Moon Holding Realm, a half-step Grandmaster.

"Stone Immortal Master, White Immortal Master, Lou Immortal Master, this is a fine wine that can only be found in Dongting Lake in Jishao County. It can only be brewed with the water of Dongting Lake that melts in March. This small jar only exists in a hundred years."

“It couldn’t be better to practice it for a few people.”

The governor smiled flatteringly and introduced the wine in his hand: "I wish the three Immortal Masters a successful start!"

The three people in front of them are incredible. Even without the Martial Saint Pavilion, they are still the sect masters and elders who are in charge of a large force.

Shi Youguang, the elder of Lanke Mountain, Bai Fen, the leader of Yihuo Sect, and Lou Lan, the guest minister of Yixin Academy.

No matter who he is, he is a person who can make countless people tremble when he stamps his feet.

The county magistrate felt somewhat honored to be able to accompany these three people.

In comparison, the student from Liberty Hill who came to him yesterday pales in comparison.

Alas, people really cannot be compared.

However, what the county guard is most curious about at the moment is Chen Kuang, who took away Mrs. Liang Guo and her daughter.

This guy must have three heads and six arms to allow the Martial Saint Pavilion to send such three terrifyingly advanced Immortal Masters to encircle and suppress him... It really makes people feel that it is a bit of a fuss.

"Why, you seem to have some questions to ask?"

Shi Youguang saw the thoughts of the mortal in front of him.

The county guard was suddenly shocked and knelt down in fear: "I, how dare I have any problem..."

Lou Lan chuckled, her fair face bright and moving: "Why are you so scared just to say a word? Don't worry, we practitioners are also human beings and we won't eat people~"

Bai Fen frowned, as if he was very disdainful and disgusted with the county governor's flattery.

Shi Youguang smiled and said, "If you have any questions, just ask them. For the sake of this good wine."

The county guard breathed a sigh of relief and said cautiously: "Three Immortal Masters are working together to deal with this Chen Kuang. Isn't it a bit of a mobilization of troops?"

"In my opinion, any one of the Immortal Masters can crush Chen Kuang to death like an ant."

"Ant?"

Lou Lan chuckled: "It would be great if he were an ant! But unfortunately... not."

She smiled, her eyes extremely cold.

Lou Lan stretched out her fingers and traced the governor's greasy face, causing the latter to become distracted for a moment and his eyes went blank.

"Which ant can survive being chased by two Moon-Embracing Elders from Three Tribulations Sect?"

"Di Wu just received the order to intercept him, and then news of his death came... We still don't know who killed him."

"Once is a coincidence, twice is a means."

"Even the Martial Saint Pavilion must really take this kind of method seriously."

Lou Lan sighed and took back his hand. The county guard stood there motionless:

"Since one is not enough, and two is not enough, then three~"

She picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it down with a smile: "There are many masters in Martial Saint Pavilion. Even if he is a rare genius or ghost, he has an even more outrageous talent than Shen Xingzhu. Before he grows up, Our Martial Saint Pavilion can also use our masters to kill him!"

"You guys think so~"

When he turned his head, he found that Bai Fen had disappeared.

Lou Lan pouted: "This man is really a fighting maniac, so anxious."

Shi Youguang said: "In that case, it's time for me to leave."

"Didn't you leave long ago?"

Lou Lan slapped him angrily, but it passed through Shi Youguang's head and face. It turned out that what he left here was just a phantom.

In fact, he had already gone to Chen Mansion.

Lou Lan pushed the county guard away and disappeared like a gust of wind.

The county guard fell straight back.

Fan Hailong was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward, only to find that the county guard was no longer breathing, and his expression remained greedy and coveting.

…

Chen Kuang, who was meditating beside the bed, opened his eyes, and his whole body's energy condensed, and then suddenly climbed up. The powerful energy formed a strong wind, which exploded around his body. In his meridians, the spiritual energy condensed into one force, which was tough and never dispersed.

After three days of precipitation, he finally broke through Innate and cultivated Yuan Jin!

A little late, but three in one!
