233: Chapter 233 Lion-Headed Eagle

Chen Changchu finally finished her work and only then remembered Chen Lingyan and the other.

"Senior, the two Young Masters have reportedly gone to the Xie Family to participate in the martial arts competition for marriage."

A maid respectfully said inside the Chen Family's talisman shop.

"A martial arts competition for marriage? Those two haven't returned yet?"

Chen Changchu continued to ask.

"Not yet, they were invited into the Xie Family's estate."

The maid explained.

"Mm, alright, you may step down!"

Chen Changchu dismissed her.

"These two brats actually ran off to participate in a martial arts competition for marriage, and they even got first place, which isn't bad. It's just that the Xie Family invited them into the Xie Manor; could it be disadvantageous to them?"

Thinking of this, Chen Changchu immediately stood up.

...

Outside the Xie Family's residence, Chen Lingyan and Xie Lingyun sparred.

After a few rounds, Chen Lingyan voluntarily conceded defeat, giving the Xie Family some Face.

Xie Lingyun glared at him angrily and turned to leave.

Chen Lingyan and the other bid farewell to Xie Dexian and were about to leave.

At that moment, Chen Changchu happened to arrive.

"Mm, Thirty-first Aunt, why are you here?"

The two were surprised.

"Why did the two of you run over to participate in someone else's martial arts competition for marriage?"

Chen Changchu inquired.

"Uh, hehe! We just came to broaden our horizons."

Chen Lingwu said awkwardly.

"Did the Xie Family give you a hard time?"

Chen Changchu asked.

In the main hall of the Xie Family, Xie Dexian's eyebrows twitched.

"No, the Xie Family treated us quite well."

Chen Lingyan explained.

"That's fine then. Another day I will bring you to visit again."

Chen Changchu looked at the Xie Family, and Xie Dexian likewise looked over.

The two seemed to be gazing at each other across several walls.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for showing mercy. We have disturbed you, and I will come to visit in the near future."

"Fellow Daoist is too polite."

Chen Changchu took the two and left.

In Cang Prefecture City, as their Chen Family was a Purple Mansion Family, there were very few people who dared to offend them, so Chen Changchu wasn't afraid that anyone would dare to make a move against their Chen Family here.

"They've finally left."

Xie Dexian breathed a sigh of relief.

"Third Uncle, I didn't expect those two to actually come from that Chen Family."

Xie Lingyun happened to return to the main hall at that moment, looking at Xie Dexian's appearance with a sigh of emotion.

Only at this moment did she realize why that bastard had turned a blind eye to her; so that was how it was. But it made sense; they came from a Purple Mansion Family, even if that Chen Family had only just ascended to a Purple Mansion Family not long ago.

"Mm, lass, I think you and that young man are quite a good match. If there's a chance, you should interact with him more; it will also be a good thing for our Family."

"Mm, understood, Third Granduncle."

Xie Lingyun's Face turned slightly red.

...

"Didn't you two really want to go and experience the world? In a short while, there will be an auction in Cang Prefecture City; you will come with me," Chen Changchu said to Chen Lingyan and the other beside her.

"An auction?"

"Mm, Cang Prefecture City is the center of the entire Cang Prefecture, and the auctions here are completely different from those in Qinghe County and Taihe Prefecture."

Chen Changchu paused and continued, "Every five years, Cang Prefecture City holds an auction. The treasures auctioned here range from the first rank to the third rank. Even for the foundation establishment pill, there are a dozen or twenty of them every time, not to mention how many other Foundation Establishment spiritual materials there are."

Hearing this, Chen Lingyan and Chen Lingwu were stirred into a bout of excitement. For this auction to actually be able to take out so many foundation establishment pills to be auctioned was simply outrageous.

In their Qinghe County, an auction was held every three years. Let alone auctioning foundation establishment pills, even ordinary Foundation Establishment spiritual materials couldn't always be put up for auction every time.

"These past few days, you will be in charge of our Chen Family's Artifact Refining shop and Alchemy pavilion in Cang Prefecture City. Later I will tell Xiaoya to take you over."

Chen Lingyan and the other nodded.

...

Wanshou Mountain Range.

A full ten days had passed since the outbreak of the beast tide.

In these ten days, Zhenyao Pass had successively slaughtered three to four thousand Low Grade Yao Beasts, among which they also killed three Low Grade Tier 2 and one Medium Grade Tier 2.

Besides this, two Foundation Establishment Cultivators were also injured at Zhenyao Pass. Among them, Chen Xiao had almost died; if Chen Lingxi hadn't stepped in to rescue her in time, she really would have died.

Fortunately, several more Foundation Establishment Cultivators arrived later, so she was also arranged to return to the rear to recuperate from her injuries.

"Those three beasts probably still don't plan to make a move."

Li Qingying frowned.

"As long as they don't have enough certainty, they definitely won't make a move casually. Right now, they are still probing how many Foundation Establishment Cultivators we have at Zhenyao Pass."

Chen Lingxi explained.

The rest nodded.

Aside from Chen Xiao, who had retreated to the rear, there were still seven Foundation Establishment Cultivators here.

Roar!

A Black Bear Demon the size of a small mountain rushed out from the beast tide.

Medium Grade Tier 2!

This thought flashed through everyone's mind.

Moreover, this Black Bear Demon was of the same lineage as the Black Bear Demons raised by the Chen Family.

Nowadays, the Chen Family had at least over thirty Black Bear Demons, and the strongest one had also reached Medium Grade Tier 2.

"Let me do it!"

Chen Changyue said.

In terms of cultivation base and strength, he ranked second among these people. After all, his cultivation base had not only reached the fifth level of Foundation Establishment, but he was also a Sword Cultivator.

Chen Changyue soared into the air. In his hand, a pitch-black Flying Sword of High Grade Tier 2 flew out from his Storage Pouch. This Flying Sword was specially refined for him by Chen Changqing over the years, with the purpose of allowing him to better unleash the power of the Heavenly Punishment Tribulation Fire Art.

He slashed out with a sword, and pitch-black flames flowed along the sword edge, surging straight towards the Black Bear Demon.

Roar!

The Black Bear Demon was entangled by the tribulation fire at the very first encounter. The pitch-black tribulation fire continuously burned on its body surface, causing it to howl in pain endlessly.

After a while, it finally patted out the tribulation fire on its body surface and looked at Chen Changyue with hatred in its eyes.

The Black Bear Demon's huge figure arrived in front of Chen Changyue in a few steps and slapped out with a palm, causing even the air to shatter.

Chen Changyue hurriedly dodged, then drove the pitch-black Flying Sword to continuously bombard the Black Bear Demon.

Both sides continuously attacked. After several rounds, Chen Changyue continuously left wounds on its body surface, but these injuries weren't very heavy for the Black Bear Demon.

After all, the Black Bear Demon belonged to a class of its own at the Medium Grade Tier 2 level.

Chen Lingxi and the others watched and knew that Chen Changyue couldn't take down the Black Bear Demon in a short time, so someone requested to enter the battle.

Chen Lingxi nodded.

Li Qingying made her move, simultaneously sacrificing three-colored Flying Swords to join forces with Chen Changyue to confront the Black Bear Demon.

In just a short while, the two Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators joined forces and beat the Black Bear Demon into steady retreat.

The few High Grade Tier 2 Yao Beasts at the rear of the beast tide began to lose their patience; during this period, every time they started a battle, they suffered complete defeats.

Not knowing what agreement those few Yao Beasts had reached, finally, one of the High Grade Tier 2 Yao Beasts made a move—it was a Lion-headed Eagle.

In just an instant, the Lion-headed Eagle flew and lunged to the side of Chen Changyue and the other, its sharp talons scratching towards Li Qingying.

Li Qingying's expression suddenly changed, and she wanted to dodge, but how could her speed match that of the Lion-headed Eagle?

Chen Changyue at the side wanted to help, but that Black Bear Demon was already prepared and slapped a palm towards Chen Changyue.

Puff!

In mid-air, blood continuously drifted down.

That came from the Lion-headed Eagle.
