Chapter 115: Searching for Evidence
Translator: 549690339
The first person to test his aptitude was the first elder, Chen Xuan.
Just as everyone had guessed, Chen Xuanâs aptitude was Rank-8. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to break through to Meridian Opening.
After Chen Xuan finished testing his own aptitude, the remaining clansmen tested their aptitude one after another.
This test lasted for half a day.
After all the clansmen had finished the test, Chen Xuan placed the results in front of Chen Yang.â
âThere are four people with eighth grade aptitude. They are me, the third elder, the sixth elder, and the fourth elderâs daughter, Chen Meng.â
âThe rest of the clansmen are basically ninth grade aptitude.â
Yang Chen was not surprised by this result. Although the Chen family was a martial arts aristocratic family and basically everyone could cultivate, they were only at Rank-9 after all. Their foundation was too low, and the possibility of having a talent above Rank-8 was too small.
âI just donât know what kind of talent that brat, Old Ten, has.âYang Chen smiled.
Speaking of Chen Xiao, a smile appeared on Chen Yangâs face. Chen Xiao had not even left the clan for a year, but his cultivation had already reached the sixth level of Qi Refinement.
One had to know that he was only sixteen years old. To have such cultivation, his aptitude was probably at least at the seventh grade.
When Chen Xuan heard this, he smiled and said,âChen Xiao, that kid, is indeed hardworking. 1 heard that he has already made quite a name for himself in the Demon Slayer Hall.ââ
âSince Chen Xiao has done well, the clan should also express their gratitude. In this way, he would find a demon beast that could grow to the peak of the demon general stage and reward it to Chen Xiao.âYang Chen said.
âUnderstood.â Chen Xuan understood.
âAs for Third Elder and Sixth Elder, from today onwards, remove them from their duties and let them focus on breaking through to Meridian Opening.â
âItâs time for the Chen Family to make preparations to become an Eighth-rank Aristocratic Family.â
Song City.
After five days of traveling, Chen Xuan and Chen Ying finally arrived at Song City.
When they arrived at Song City, the two of them did not rush to take action. Instead, they found a teahouse and began to plan.
âBrother Ying, do you know whatâs special about that group of people, especially their voices?âChen Xuan asked.
Chen Ying thought for a moment and then said,âIâve seen the butler a few times. If thereâs anything special, the butlerâs voice seems a little strange.ââ âStrange?â Chen Xuan frowned.â Can you tell me in detail? How is it strange?ââ âYou might not believe me, but his voice is a little sharp and hoarse, and at the same time, thereâs a hint of gloominess.âChen Ying said.
Chen Xuan was stunned. This was a sound that could be made by a human.
âActually, the butlerâs voice is quite distinguishable. You can clearly feel that itâs not a voice that a human can make.âChen Ying added.
â Good heavens, this is really not a voice that a human can make.â Chen Xuan pursed his lips.â Iâll try.ââ
Immediately, Chen Xuan slowly closed his eyes. The spiritual energy in his body surged and activated his bloodline.
At the same time, voices entered Chen Xuanâs ears.
Seeing Chen Xuanâs appearance, Chen Ying clicked his tongue in wonder. Such a strange bloodline, he was born to be a spy.
It seemed that this Chen family was really full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons.
If the Chen Family could really kill the Song Family, then he could truly submit to the Chen Family. After all, the potential of the Chen Family had already emerged.
If he submitted to the Chen family now, he would be able to reap many benefits when the Chen family soared in the future.
Just as Chen Ying was thinking about whether he had truly submitted to the Chen family, Chen Xuan had also completed his search.
Unfortunately, he did not find the voice that Chen Ying had mentioned.
Seeing this, Chen Ying knew that Chen Xuan had not found anything. He immediately said,ââBrother Xuan, your method is wrong.â
âWhy is the butler here? Naturally, itâs to contact the Song family. Weâve been eavesdropping on the Song familyâs residence to find traces of the butler.â âThat makes sense.â Chen Xuan pondered for a moment and realized that it was indeed the case.
Chen Xuan immediately stood up and left.
âWhat are you doing? Donât be anxious. If we rush over now, weâll be discovered. Sit down and drink some tea first.â
After stopping Chen Xuan, Chen Ying said resentfully,ââLook at you. Youâre such a good person, but why are you so reckless?â
âLooks like Iâll have to train you properly after we return. Iâll let you see how a real spy works.â
Chen Xuan scratched his head awkwardly.â Yes, yes, yes, Brother Ying.ââ
âHow about this? Weâll first investigate the inn closest to the Chen family and stay there. Then, weâll split up. You stay in the inn and pay attention to the sounds around the Song family.â
âIâll go out and see if I can meet the butler.âChen Ying said.
âIsnât this too dangerous?â Chen Xuan was a little worried.â If you were discovered, wouldnât your life be in danger?ââ
Chen Ying was stunned. This was the first time someone cared about him. He immediately scolded with a smile,âBrat, the dangers Iâve experienced are more than the rice youâve eaten. Do you need to worry about me?â
âAs for that butler, he is a big shot. How could he recognize me?
Now that my cultivation has been sealed, 1 donât have the aura of their cultivation technique on me, so itâs even harder for me to be discovered.â Hearing Chen Yingâs words, Chen Xuan heaved a sigh of relief and said,ââAlright, weâll split up later.â
After drinking tea, the two of them first found an inn and then acted alone according to their plan.
This investigation lasted for half a month.
Half a month later, Chen Ying caught a glimpse of a figure on the main road leading to the Song family.
He found it!
Chen Yingâs pupils constricted, and his heart raced. Then, he quickly turned around, pretending that he did not see anything, and rushed back to the inn.
When they arrived at the inn, Chen Ying heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he hurriedly entered his room,â Chen Xuan, Iâve found him!ââ
âReally?â Chen Xuanâs eyes lit up and he circulated the spiritual energy in his body to monitor the movements of the Song family.
âNot hereâŠItâs not here eitherâŠâ
Beads of sweat dripped from Chen Xuanâs forehead. He did not know how long Prince Keâs butler would stay. Time was so tight, how could Chen Xuan not be anxious?
âThis isâŠMaster Song? Found it!â
While searching for Chen Yingâs voice, Chen Xuan heard a sentence.
Patriarch, theyâre here.
Who were they? It must be Prince Keâs butler.
Immediately, Chen Xuan locked onto this place. As expected, it did not take long for him to hear the voice that Chen Ying had mentioned.
Song family, in the meeting hall.
âMaster Song, you should give me an explanation for this.âPrince Keâs butler said coldly.
Master Song smiled nervously.â Sir, what kind of explanation do you want?ââ âDidnât you say that Chen Cheng only has one Core Formation Realm master? However, my scouts told me that Shadow Thirteen died at the hands of a Core Formation cultivator who had never appeared before.â
âShouldnât you give me an explanation for this?âPrince Ke stared at Master Song, and an invisible killing intent enveloped Master Song.
At this moment, Master Song felt as if there was a knife on his back. It was as if the butler would kill him in the next moment.
âThis⊠This⊠Sir, we donât know whatâs going on either. Weâve investigated for a long time, but we still havenât found any information about that core formation expert.â
âTrash!â Prince Keâs butler berated and then said,âForget it, letâs forget about this matter.â
âFrom today onwards, 1 wonât blame you, and donât even think about asking us to kill Yang Chen for you.â
âYes, yes, yes.â Master Song nodded repeatedly. At this moment, he no longer wanted to kill Chen Yang. It was enough as long as he could keep his life.
âAlright, thereâs something 1 need you to do.âAs he spoke, the butler handed a piece of yellow paper to A/Iaster Song.
Master Song took the yellow paper, opened it, and glanced at it. Then, he asked curiously,âWhy does Milord want these lowly peasants to do something?â
âYou donât need to know that. Iâll tell you, this matter must be kept a secret.
âNo matter who it is, even those who came with me, you canât reveal it. Otherwise, your Song family will be destroyed.â
Sensing the undisguised killing intent from the butler, Master Song was sweating profusely. He nodded frantically.â Donât worry, my lord. No one else will know about this.ââ
âYes, Iâll come and look for you in a year. By then, I hope you have already prepared what 1 want.â
After saying this, Prince Ke turned around and left..
