Chapter 1321 The Imperial Family
"The Qin family's matter is very serious. Zhuque's mother took her away."
"With my current strength, I can't help her."
Although it was hard to admit, this was the truth.
Liu Ran said solemnly, "Your strength isn't enough? Isn't the Hedan realm the strongest existence even in the Earth Realm?"
"Even you can't solve it?"
Chen Yang didn't expect Liu Ran to know so much.
It seemed that after cultivating, Liu Ran had done a thorough investigation.
"Yes, there's no way for now, but Zhou Zeyao and the others might know something. I'll ask him after he breaks through."
...
As Chen Yang arranged for the noble families and sects to guard the newly opened passages, Zhou Zeyao also returned to Chunfen's side.
Chen Yang looked at Zhou Zeyao, his face full of surprise, "You... Hedan third layer?"
Before, Chen Yang had thought that Zhou Zeyao would only reach the first layer of Hedan after breaking through.
He didn't expect him to directly become the third layer of Hedan.
Was this the power of ancient martial artists?
Even though the spiritual energy in the human world was more abundant than before, it shouldn't be this fast, right?
Zhou Zeyao said with a smile, "What's impossible? It's just the third layer, and the subsequent breakthroughs will be much easier."
"Besides, those guys have already reached the eighth or ninth layer of Hedan, haven't they?"
"If I don't hurry up and catch up, won't I be laughed to death by them!"
As he spoke, Zhou Zeyao suddenly remembered something, "By the way, what's going on with that young man who suddenly appeared at home?"
"He doesn't look human?"
"And he's already at the Hedan realm. It seems like many interesting things have happened while I was away!"
Apart from dealing with the martial artists appearing from the Earth Realm, Wu Shaojun was also helping to hunt down those with corrupted bloodlines.
The rest of his time was spent in Chen Yang's residence.
With the spiritual stones provided by Chen Yang, he also recovered a lot.
After Chen Yang told Zhou Zeyao about everything he had encountered during this period, he found Zhou Zeyao staring at him without speaking.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Did the breakthrough go wrong?"
As soon as Chen Yang finished speaking, he saw Zhou Zeyao take a deep breath and curse at the sky twice.
Then Zhou Zeyao said to Chen Yang, "I originally thought... even if I couldn't catch up to Wu Min and the others in a short time, I should be able to catch up to you."
"But now... I understand, these kinds of things should be left to Wu Min and the others!"
"How can you, someone at the fifth layer of Hedan, defeat someone at the peak of Hedan!"
"Are you trying to make us not live anymore!"
Zhou Zeyao felt his scalp tingling, and many words were stuck in his throat.
Chen Yang had many secrets, but killing a peak Hedan cultivator alone was indeed a bit too much.
When he first met Chen Yang, Zhou Zeyao thought his own ambitions were very naive.
But now, it seemed that Chen Yang's destiny was truly special!
"I thought you were going to say something else!"
Chen Yang said with a wry smile, "The rules of heaven and earth are suppressing me, so I can only reach the ninth layer of Hedan at most. Besides, I almost died!"
"As for the Qin family's matter, do you have any clues?"
Facing Chen Yang's inquiry, Zhou Zeyao gave a bitter smile, "No clues. For this kind of thing, asking Wu Min and the others might yield more information."
"Back then, although I had a Qin family... that Qin family was part of the imperial dynasty."
Chen Yang was stunned for a moment and immediately understood what Zhou Zeyao was referring to.
Although there were no new leads, Zhou Zeyao continued, "Speaking of the Upper Realm, I have an idea. Since the passages between the Human and Earth Realms can be completely sealed, why don't we try to learn how to do it?"
Chen Yang had this idea before, and it would be a permanent solution.
However... was this something that two Hedan realm cultivators could do?
Chen Yang rolled his eyes helplessly, "It's true that the Upper Realm passage was severed, but do you think it was done by people of any realm?"
"Even if all the old fellows in the Earth Realm reached the Nascent Soul realm, they probably couldn't do it."
"The Sword Sect's passage will stabilize in the next two days. Since you've reached the Hedan realm, I can rest assured about things here."
"I need to go back. I don't know how the martial arts competition in the Land of Hope is going."
Zhou Zeyao nodded, "Okay, but you should bring Hu Feng with you. This girl is now at the Foundation Establishment realm, and she's not an ancient martial artist, so cultivation will be much more difficult."
"Going to the Land of Hope, her realm can improve faster."
After Chen Yang agreed, he handed over all the matters at hand to Zhou Zeyao.
This time, Chen Yang didn't plan to bring too many people.
After all, the passage would stabilize soon, and as long as they wanted to go, they could go anytime.
The most important thing was to develop and strengthen the Land of Hope, so that there would be a stable foothold upon arrival.
When Chen Yang returned to the Sword Sect again, he specifically went to Qin Xinyang's cultivation place.
However, the outside of the cave dwelling was covered with formations, looking like a forbidden area.
Sensing the fluctuations emanating from inside the cave, Chen Yang did not linger.
When he learned that the Sword Sect's passage had stabilized but no one from the Earth Realm had come, Chen Yang couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
Given Wu Min's boldness, he shouldn't not have tried the passage.
"Could something have happened?"
Chen Yang, along with Hu Feng and a few other sect disciples, passed through the passage. Upon entering, they saw Old Monster Zhang and Ruan Dongjun of the Sword Sect.
There were also several Hedan realm cultivators from the Earth Realm on the periphery.
What concerned Chen Yang even more was that Ruan Dongjun was injured!
Everyone's faces were filled with sorrow.
Seeing Chen Yang appear at the exit of the passage, except for a few Hedan realm cultivators who were hiding the formations, everyone else rushed over.
Before they could speak, Chen Yang asked first, "Who attacked the passage?"
Besides this guess, Chen Yang couldn't think of any other possibility.
Seeing that no one spoke, Chen Yang's brows immediately furrowed, "Dongjun, what happened to your injury?"
Seeing Chen Yang specifically ask him to speak, Ruan Dongjun had no choice but to explain everything to Chen Yang.
Just as the Hedan realm cultivators of the Land of Hope were using the guidance of the Lord of the Earth Realm to conceal the passage, something happened at the academy's martial arts competition in the Land of Hope.
A person named Hai Esha suddenly self-destructed. Because it was a free-for-all, several students were directly affected.
If it weren't for Chen Xing, they might have lost their lives.
Not only that, but the newly recovered Lord of the Demon Capital Prefecture also came looking for trouble.
It was as if someone had orchestrated all of this from the shadows.
The major powers of the Earth Realm simultaneously advanced their armies.
Even with the help of the Barbarian Tribe, Jingyou Shui, and King Jinchi, the Land of Hope currently did not dare to act rashly.
