He even suspected that Chu He wasn't trying to save him at all!
Instead, he wanted to kill him, to cut off all ties, lest he leak the secret!
"Chu Chen, I know you are a martial cultivator, and your potential is immense.
It's a pity your lifespan is nearing its end, and you won't have much time to accompany us."
"This broken sword is priceless.
If you give it to us, we will surely use it to protect your descendants."
Chu He's two sons said.
At this moment, Chu He finally couldn't hold back and spoke.
"Enough! You all leave quickly, this matter has nothing to do with you!"
After speaking, he looked at Chu Chen and asked in a deep voice.
"I ask you, is there really no other way? Did your sect leave behind anything?"
Chu Chen shook his head, "I have never seen my sect."
"Then I will send you into the forbidden area to seek refuge?"
Chu He tentatively said again.
Their Chu family were descendants of Chu He, but Chu Chen's grandfather, Chu Shanchuan, was a martial artist, and a powerful one at that!
Chu He knew how powerful Chu Chen's grandfather was, even in the entire Qingyang City.
His strength was enough to rank in the top three, and he had an old friend who was one of the few powerhouses in Qingyang City.
If Chu Shanchuan were to act, there might be a chance to save Chu Chen!
"No need."
Chu Chen refused, his eyes becoming more resolute, "I will handle my own affairs."
After speaking, he took out a jade slip from his storage bag and handed it to Chu He.
"This is the cultivation technique my grandfather passed down to me. I have already comprehended it thoroughly. This is a cultivation technique I created myself.
It's far inferior to your 'Bagua Palm.' I'm passing it to you to repay your nurturing kindness. You can rest in peace now."
As he said the last sentence, Chu Chen's eyes welled up with tears.
"This is my grandfather's martial arts. Take it. If you encounter danger in the future, it might be useful."
Chu He exchanged glances with his two sons, and finally, Chu He reached out and accepted it.
"Little Chen, thank you."
Chu He solemnly cupped his fists in a salute, then took his two sons and left in a hurry, returning to the family.
...
Chu Chen's room.
"Chu Chen, your cultivation has been crippled?" Liu Yun asked with a frown.
"Mmm."
Chu Chen nodded, then his expression suddenly turned fierce and ferocious.
"I will kill them, destroy their entire family!"
"What do you plan to do?" Liu Yun asked.
"Hmph! Don't you forget, our identities are brother and sister!
We both have the surname Chu. They dare to make a move against us, they deserve to die!"
Chu Chen said coldly.
"Our Chu family has seven cities, and the city lord of each city is a Xiantian realm martial artist!
Our fathers were Xiantian realm existences."
Chu He remained silent for a long time, "It will be difficult for you to kill me.
Although I am a Houtian realm martial apprentice, my cultivation has long reached the Xiantian realm.
So even if I stand there and let you chop, you won't be able to hurt me."
"Oh? Is that so?" Chu Chen sneered upon hearing this. He suddenly pointed at the wound on Chu He's chest.
Chira!
Immediately, a ferocious crack appeared on Chu He's chest, and blood gushed out!
"What are you doing!"
"Are you crazy?"
Chu He and Chu Feng exclaimed.
"What do you know? I deliberately let your sword pierce my skin to detonate that soul imprint!"
Rumble!
As soon as his words fell, the void trembled, and a mass of gray-white mist rolled, instantly covering an area of a hundred zhang.
Chu He, Chu Feng, and Liu Yun instantly lost their sense of their surroundings!
Their consciousness was dragged into it!
All sights twisted and changed, as if trapped in a fog. No sounds could be heard, and even the sounds from outside disappeared.
The only thing they could vaguely sense was a vast, unparalleled majesty, like that of a deity!
This majesty did not belong to a human, but to a giant beast!
It was the strange bird that Chu Chen had seen before!
"Are you from the Chu family? My servant Chu Chen?" the strange bird asked.
"That's right!"
"My name is Chu Chen. The direct descendant of the Chu family is my cousin. What do you want to do!"
"What do I want to do?" The strange bird let out a hoarse, unpleasant shriek.
"I want to resurrect my child! You can't do this!"
"You're talking nonsense! Didn't your child die twenty years ago?"
Chu Chen said angrily, the scene from that year flashing in his mind.
At that time, Chu Chen's cousin had brought that strange bird to ambush his biological uncle, Chu He, and severely injured him!
In the end, Chu He used a secret technique, sacrificing his life, to throw out the strange bird's cub!
And told Chu Chen and Chu He to help take care of it.
Chu Chen would never forget this event.
"You bunch of idiots!" the strange bird cursed.
"Do you think I wanted to kill you? It's because you killed my child.
I wish I could eat your flesh and drink your blood!"
The voice of this giant bird was sharp, filled with anger and resentment, making one's hair stand on end!
"Who are you!"
Chu Chen gritted his teeth and asked, "We are of the same clan, why should we kill each other!"
"You idiots are not worthy of being called brothers!"
The strange bird's tone became even more furious. As if recalling some past events, its voice gradually lowered.
"Your Chu family's ancestor, Chu He, in order to break through to the Xiantian realm.
He didn't hesitate to sacrifice a woman, but he failed to break through and instead went berserk!
My wife's soul was occupied by that bitch!
I killed all of you just to reclaim what belongs to me!"
"What nonsense are you spouting!"
"What did you say? My parents are dead!?"
Chu He and Chu Feng were stunned. They never imagined that things would turn out this way.
"Yes, that bitch, took advantage of my failed breakthrough.
She stole my soul. She is your grandmother, but she has a vicious heart!"
The strange bird roared, "My child, my child!"
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the room shook violently.
Chu He and Chu Feng's faces turned pale, and their bodies swayed precariously.
They all understood.
So the strange bird's child had died, and it had been hiding it, not daring to let anyone know.
Fearing ridicule and scorn, it had devised a plan, using Chu Chen and the others' pity to capture them!
"Let us go!"
"Quickly let us out, otherwise my Chu family will exterminate your nine generations!"
Chu Chen roared angrily, struggling desperately, but it was useless.
His body was restrained at the edge of the bed.
Crack!
He strained his arms, and the long saber in his hand was crushed by him.
He wanted to rush to the window to escape, but found that his body seemed to have stiffened, unable to move at all.
He could only watch as the window was opened.
Then, a foot stepped in, and with a raise of its hand, it slapped him across the face, sending him flying.
Puchi!
Chu Chen spat out a mouthful of blood.
Immediately after, a second figure walked in, dressed in a red robe, with a treasure saber at his waist.
He was handsome and extraordinary, and it was his cousin, Chu Feng.
Chu Feng stared at Chu Chen, his eyes filled with contempt.
"Truly useless. With a mere sixth-level Body Refining realm cultivation, you can't even defeat me, who is at the peak of Body Refining realm."
