Chapter 788: Chapter 477: Rankings Surge, Dominating the Era_3
Yet for Chen Yuan, this was but a minor issue. Having elevated his cultivation to the peak of the True Core Realm, Chen Yuan feared no one in battles against those of the same cultivation level.
Even among the top twenty or even the top ten, he still possessed the strength to fight!
However, what he did not know was that those preparing to move against him were not only the Dan Realm Masters.
His journey from the Capital to Shuzhou had been carefully concealed, but for certain powers, finding him was not too difficult, especially now that his whereabouts had been revealed, making it even easier.
And that power was Japan!
Chen Yuan’s repeated interference in Japan’s grand plans had long made him a common enemy of the three major families, and then, after the fragmentation of the Sumeru Illusion Realm, Ito Shinsei had gone to consult with a Japanese Heavenly Master.
To divine the future of the Ito Family.
The result was that the divination process was directly interrupted, and the divining Heavenly Master even suffered serious injuries, claiming that the secrets of Heaven could not be revealed.
Ito Shinsei, with a solemn expression, asked what exactly had happened.
The divining Heavenly Master shook his head, refusing to speak further.
Eventually, under the intense pressure from Ito Shinsei, he still divulged some cryptic information, stating that there was a risk of ruin for the Ito Family in the future, and the one to take action was in the Central Plains.
Ito Shinsei asked who it was.
The divining Heavenly Master replied that it wasn’t clear and suggested he think about any recent encounters with highly skilled experts or exceptionally gifted geniuses from the Central Plains.
Naturally, Ito Shinsei thought of Chen Yuan.
Furthermore, after Chen Yuan’s rise to the twenty-first position on the Fengyun List, his reputation grew larger, inciting a fear in Ito Shinsei that felt heartfelt, as if the words of the renowned Japanese Heavenly Master might one day come true.
Therefore, he must be killed!
However, as Ito Shinsei was currently severely injured, it was not suitable for him to take action himself. Moreover, Japan Martial Artists were particularly unfamiliar with the Central Plains, especially the Southern regions. If Chen Yuan found a place to hide, he would be difficult to locate.
They must find a strong figure from the Central Plains to kill him.
After much consideration, Ito Shinsei approached the other two families, planning to join hands and offer a certain price to enlist one of the ten Immortal Sects, the Seven Killings Hall, to take action against Chen Yuan.
The Yagyu Family agreed immediately upon hearing it was Chen Yuan, and the other family did not object either.
For an enduring resolution to the issue of Chen Yuan, the three major families decided not to seek out gold or silver token assassins but went directly to the high ranks of the Seven Killings Hall to invite a Yama to take action!
Of course, Chen Yuan was unaware of all these matters. He just felt that with his whereabouts exposed and the risk of danger, he changed his appearance once again after leaving Jiangdu Prefecture City.
After all, avoiding some danger was always preferable.
As for his ranking on the Fengyun List, Chen Yuan was also not clear about it. Having left Jiangdu Prefecture City, he had basically lost many sources of information and was unaware that he had almost become an existence that overshadowed an era.
On this day, Chen Yuan left the small county town. After some inquiries, he confirmed his ultimate destination.
The reason for the trouble was that the senior Moluo was not omniscient and omnipotent. All he could do was peer into a more detailed location during the process of breaking through the divine fate.
Ultimately, it was still up to Chen Yuan to judge and investigate.
His destination was a small mountain village nestled deep in the mountains, known to few and even more hidden, named… Chen Family Village!
Honestly, when Chen Yuan heard that his destination was actually Chen Family Village, he was stupefied for three full breaths, feeling that this was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
His surname was Chen, and then the destination was a place named Chen Family Village.
There are no such big coincidences in the world.
After a long silence, Chen Yuan took a deep breath and began to make his way to the secluded Chen Family Village in the deep mountains.
According to the information he had obtained, the place was sparsely populated, and the entire village was almost cut off from the world, with few people visiting the county town, which somewhat matched his previous speculations.
Looking at the endless mountain ranges under his feet, Chen Yuan was meticulously scanning the area. This mountain was known as Luochen Mountain, named during the former Chu era, as recorded in the county annals.
However, according to his perception, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy was rather thin here, perhaps, for this reason, there were no Jianghu Sects establishing Mountain Gates in the area.
As he drew closer, Chen Yuan felt a renewed sense of nervousness, but he forcefully subdued it. There was nothing he couldn’t face. Besides,
he had already begun to speculate about his identity.
What was lacking were just some details.
While scouring the mountain range, Chen Yuan suddenly paused. Even though nearly a thousand meters away, he keenly spotted people moving along on a small mountain path below.
After a moment’s thought, Chen Yuan swiftly descended.
There were two people whom Chen Yuan saw, one leading a donkey cart, the other sitting atop it—a disheveled woman,
well, one could scarcely make out that she was a woman.
The one leading the donkey cart was an elder with a wrinkled face.
“Excuse me,”
The elder leading the donkey cart heard a shout from behind and instinctively looked back. He saw a young man with an air of nobility,
which made him feel somewhat uneasy.
The woman on the donkey cart lowered her head, not daring to look at Chen Yuan.
“Elder, may I ask your surname?”
Chen Yuan glanced at the two, and after confirming there was no problem, he asked with a light smile.
The elder was somewhat uneasy, and after a long hesitation he said:
“My name is Chen Youtie, this is my wife, Ying Zi. I…”
Seeing the elder’s unease and anxiety, Chen Yuan hurriedly said:
“Do not be afraid, elder. I also go by the surname Chen. My ancestors came from Chen Family Village, and I am returning on this trip to visit relatives. The mountain roads are a bit puzzling,
might I travel with you for a while?”
Chen Youtie looked at his wife on the donkey cart, hesitated for a while, and then nodded:
“Then follow us.”
“Thank you,”
Chen Yuan said with a slight smile as he gave a cupped fist salute.
His plan was to firstly glean some information about Chen Family Village from the elder’s words. Knowing both himself and the enemy would allow him to feel at ease. Otherwise, it would indeed make him somewhat uneasy.
