Chapter 41: Shocking Changes! An Unusual Situation!

"Nineteen, when should we make our move?"

On top of the canopy, the black-robed figure with the number twenty-three on his forehead stepped forward and spoke in a deep voice.

The leader, Nineteen, responded calmly, "No rush. Let's wait until their trial is over and remove this grand formation."

Pausing for a moment, Nineteen asked, "Have we gathered information on the protectors from the Chen family who came this time?"

"Yes."

Black-robed figure Twenty-three nodded and replied, "There are three protectors in total. The strongest one is Chen Tianchen, the Peak Master of the Fourth Peak of the Chen family. His strength has reached the True Self stage. The other two are elders at the peak of Astral Wandering."

"When the time comes, Nineteen, you will deal with Chen Tianchen. Twenty-three and I will handle the two elders at the peak of Astral Wandering. As for Twenty-seven and Twenty-eight, they will be responsible for suppressing our target this time, Chen Zhaosheng, and taking the King's Seal from him."

"Nineteen, what do you think?"

After a moment of contemplation, the leader, Nineteen, closed his eyes and nodded, saying, "Let's proceed with this arrangement."

Time passed slowly.

In the blink of an eye, a whole day had passed since Chen Zhixing left the flying boat.

During this day, the battles among the young disciples of the Chen family became increasingly intense.

In just the first day, more than ten Chen family members were eliminated.

However, all of this had nothing to do with Chen Zhixing.

"Where is the formation's core?"

Walking along the edge of the grand formation, Chen Zhixing furrowed his brows. He spread out his divine sense, constantly searching for the core of the grand formation without alerting others.

Yes, he had no intention of participating in this trial.

His goal from the beginning to the end in the Southern Region was to find the tomb of the Nine Winds Daoist and obtain the "Nine Divine Arts."

By the way, he wanted to see if he could resolve an inevitable upheaval in the Chen family.

"Young master, are you trying to find the core of the grand formation and leave without alerting others?" A cold female voice sounded in Chen Zhixing's mind.

"Yes." Chen Zhixing nodded.

"This formation was most likely set up by a grandmaster of formations. Even if you find the core, it will be difficult to break the formation and leave unnoticed," Qingzhi, who was knowledgeable about formations, recognized it at a glance. This grand formation was of high grade and was most likely the work of a True Self stage formation Daoist.

She couldn't help but feel skeptical about whether Chen Zhixing could find the core and quietly leave after breaking the formation.

"Let's give it a try." Chen Zhixing smiled without confirming or denying.

"Alright, I also know a thing or two about formations. I can help you figure out how to break it when the time comes," Qingzhi said with a slight smile. Then she curiously asked, "Young master, why do you want to leave at this time without waiting for the trial to end? When the trial is over, the formation will be removed, and it won't be so complicated."

Chen Zhixing didn't answer directly. Instead, he raised his head and glanced at the flying boat hanging in the distant sky.

If his memory served him right...

This trial would be the turning point for the decline of the entire Chen family!

Chen Tianchen, the Fourth Peak Master of the Chen family, would die in the Southern Region during this trial, leaving no trace of his remains!

Chen Zhaosheng, the Qilin Child of the Chen family, would have his King's Seal dug out and become a useless person overnight!

And the one making the move would be an organization called the "Spiderweb."

As for Chen Zhixing...

He didn't care about Chen Zhaosheng's fate.

Although in this life, due to his active exposure of the Nine Ancient Patterns and Chen Tianliang's lack of danger in the Southern Sea Secret Realm, Chen Zhixing and his family did not suffer the tragic fate of being bullied by Chen Tianxiong's branch as in the previous life's "Great Cultivation" plot.

But whenever he thought about the various difficulties Chen Tianxiong had caused his father at his birth, intentionally withholding family resources and almost sending Chen Tianliang to the Southern Sea Secret Realm...

And this Chen Zhaosheng, who had been secretly obstructing him and prying into his situation over the years...

He had no good feelings for these two father and son.

Even now, why did Chen Zhaosheng repeatedly speak up, saying that he wanted to witness his strength? Wasn't it just to find a legitimate reason to attack him and trample him underfoot in front of everyone?

Including that foolish person, Lu Ying, why could she always be by Chen Zhaosheng's side? She even participated in the Chen family's internal trial this time.

Could it be that Chen Zhaosheng had really fallen for Lu Ying?

No.

Everything Chen Zhaosheng did was just to show off to him, to provoke him and make him unable to resist taking action.

And he, Chen Zhixing, would naturally accept the challenge and trample Chen Zhixing underfoot as a matter of course.

"Narrow-minded, small-minded, jealous, and hypocritical. He wants to trample me underfoot while still maintaining a good reputation and not wanting to be seen as someone who bullies his own clan. He's truly a hypocrite," Chen Zhixing couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

Shaking his head, Chen Zhixing calmed his thoughts.

Chen Zhaosheng was just a minor character. Even if he escaped this time, he would take the initiative to settle accounts with Chen Zhaosheng.

This guy had already made him feel uncomfortable.

Cultivation is the cultivation of the heart.

If one's thoughts cannot be understood, what's the point of cultivating the heart?

However,

Chen Tianchen is the only one in the Chen family who sincerely treats Chen Zhixing from this branch.

Including in the previous life's "Great Cultivation" plot, he was one of the few in the entire Chen family who provided warmth to Chen Zhixing during his dark childhood for ten years.

Chen Tianchen's ending should not be a tragic death here.

And in order to change all of this,

Chen Zhixing can only become stronger and become a variable in this shocking change!

Time slowly passes.

While silently contemplating these thoughts, Chen Zhixing uses his divine sense to search for the eye of the Heavenly Array.

Suddenly,

Chen Zhixing's footsteps pause.

"I found it!"

Chen Zhixing's eyes flash as he looks up at a huge piece of bluestone.

He feels it.

The eye of the Heavenly Array is buried beneath that bluestone.

On either side of the bluestone, there are two young men of about twenty years old, currently in a tense standoff.

One of them wields a long knife with a ring at the hilt, while the other holds a crescent-shaped axe.

Both of them have bloodstains on their bodies, indicating that they have already fought and there is no clear winner.

"Who?"

"Hmm? Third Young Master?!"

In an instant, the two young men from the Chen family turn their heads simultaneously and look at Chen Zhixing.

Chen Zhixing raises an eyebrow, somewhat surprised. He didn't expect that there would be people fighting at the eye of the array.

"Third Young Master, you came just in time! You and I should join forces to capture this person! He has at least six hand rings on him, and we can split them evenly!"

The young man with the long knife is immediately overjoyed and shouts.

He quickly approaches Chen Zhixing.

"You're talking nonsense! Third Young Master, don't believe him! This person deceived me like this before and then stabbed me! If I hadn't reacted quickly, I'm afraid he would have succeeded!"

The young man with the crescent axe hurriedly shouts.

In his anxiety, he also quickly approaches Chen Zhixing, as if afraid that Chen Zhixing would join forces with the young man with the long knife.

Getting closer.

Closer and closer.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them approach from the left and right, leaving only ten feet between them and Chen Zhixing!

Seeing that Chen Zhixing still has a blank expression, the two of them silently exchange a glance and eye contact.

"The Chen family's direct line is nothing special, hahaha!"

"Another person who fell for our trick without using their brain! Let's eliminate him!"

In an instant, the two of them burst into laughter and quickly swing their knives and axes towards Chen Zhixing!

A cultivation level of Void Transformation emanates from both of them!

Boom!!

A pair of fair and slender hands reach out like lightning, grabbing the necks of the two people who were smirking in mid-air as if picking up chicks.

"Ah??"

In an instant, the two people widen their eyes, their smirking expressions freeze, and an expression of disbelief appears on their faces.

What...what happened?

"Why are there always so many people in this world who feel self-satisfied with a little cleverness?"

A faint voice sounds.

Chen Zhixing calmly raises his head, holding the necks of the two people in his hands, and gently bumps them together.

Bang!!

In an instant, the two people feel as if their heads have hit a solid steel rock. Their heads ache and they faint.

Chen Zhixing casually throws the unconscious two people to a distant big tree branch that forks.

Then, he takes off the hand rings from his hands and throws them onto the bodies of the two people.

After completing all of this,

Chen Zhixing takes a deep breath, reaches out to move the bluestone in front of him.

The next moment,

Chen Zhixing lowers his head and looks at the ground where the bluestone was pressed down, unable to help but be surprised.

"Hmm?"

Chen Zhixing raises an eyebrow, a look of astonishment appearing on his face.
