Another Chen Wen, A Replaced Identity

"A humble one greets you, sirs."

Jiang Taichu stumbled in and immediately prostrated himself on the ground.

"I ask you, does your Ancient Yuan Realm have a young man named Chu Tianlong, around the same age as my son, Chen Wen?"

Chen Badao stared at Jiang Taichu and said coldly.

Jiang Taichu was dumbfounded.

Yes, he was the Hall Master of the Realm Protection Hall, overseeing the entire Ancient Yuan Realm.

But he wasn't in charge of population control; he couldn't possibly know every single person.

However, he couldn't give Chen Badao anything less than a satisfactory answer.

After carefully considering Chen Badao's intentions, Jiang Taichu finally spoke, "If you give me a month, no, ten days, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

"Five days. If you can't find the person, you die," Chen Badao said coldly.

I...

Jiang Taichu really felt like cursing.

Can this even be done?

With just a name and age, how can I find him in five days?

Right.

When Chen Wen killed Chu Beiqiong, he asked about Chu Tianlong's whereabouts.

Chu Beiqiong seemed to have said that he was the son brought back by Chu Beiqing and had stayed with the Chu Clan for half a year.

Could it be that this Chu Tianlong also offended Chen Wen?

Yes, yes.

Otherwise, why would a big shot like Chen Badao be focused on a young man from the Lower Realm?

Wait.

Chen Wen?

A disciple of an Imperial Clan.

I think I've heard this name before.

Who did I hear it from?

My sister.

Yes, my sister told me.

If this is true...

Then this matter is truly huge.

Thinking of this, Jiang Taichu's heart trembled.

Jiang Taichu took a deep breath and mustered his courage, saying, "Can I confirm one thing first? This is very important and might concern the person you're looking for."

Chen Badao stared at Jiang Taichu for a long time before saying, "It better be."

Jiang Taichu tremblingly took out a communication talisman and silently infused it with spiritual energy.

After a while, a soft, sweet female voice came through, "Brother, are you looking for me?"

"Brother has something to ask you. You must answer truthfully," Jiang Taichu said, taking a deep breath.

"Okay." Jiang Qingren also sensed the seriousness in Jiang Taichu's tone and immediately became solemn.

"You once told me that your Sacred Land has a Holy Son named Chen Wen, and he's from an Imperial Clan in the Upper Realm, right?" Jiang Taichu asked.

Jiang Qingren fell silent for a moment before replying, "Yes, our Holy Son is indeed named Chen Wen, and he is from an Imperial Clan in the Upper Realm."

"But our Holy Son is low-key and dislikes outsiders disturbing him unless he invites them."

"So, many forces, even if they know his identity, don't dare to spread it around."

"If you want to meet him, brother, there might be an opportunity. I can help put in a good word."

"As for whether he agrees or not, I can't say."

At this moment, Jiang Taichu felt completely numb.

His mind was just buzzing.

Someone is actually this audacious!

Not only did he offend the real Imperial Son, but he also impersonated his identity.

Meanwhile, Chen Badao and the others had faces as cold as iron, with an invisible killing intent raging.

They weren't fools; they naturally understood what had happened.

This Chu Tianlong had not only dug out Chen Wen's Imperial Bone but had also usurped his identity.

"Brother, what's wrong? Say something!"

Seeing Jiang Taichu's long silence, Jiang Qingren called out to him several times.

"Ask him if he's in the Holy Land," Chen Badao's voice reached Jiang Taichu's ears.

"Right, is your Holy Son in the Holy Land? I was thinking of finding a suitable time to pay him a visit," Jiang Taichu said again.

"I don't know. Very few people know his whereabouts, not even our Holy Lord."

Speaking of which, Jiang Qingren changed the subject, "When I see him next time, I'll ask for you. This matter can't be rushed."

"Alright, just let me know when the time comes." Jiang Taichu's last shred of suspicion vanished.

"You go ahead and be busy. I have things to do too," Jiang Taichu said.

"Okay." Jiang Qingren immediately cut off the connection.

Hoo.

Jiang Taichu let out a long sigh of relief. He had finally managed to get through it.

He was truly afraid of alerting the enemy. Who knew what hidden circumstances were involved?

At this moment, the scene fell silent.

The current situation could neither be called good nor bad.

All they could do was pray that Chu Tianlong hadn't received any messages from the person behind this.

Even more so, that Chu Tianlong hadn't been silenced.

"You did very well," Chen Badao said.

Jiang Taichu quickly replied, "It is what this humble one should do."

"So, is it the Heavenly Maiden Sacred Land?" Chen Badao suddenly asked again.

Although Jiang Taichu was shocked that Chen Badao knew, he still nodded, "Yes."

"Heh, they're really quite brazen," Chen Badao spat out coldly.

Jiang Taichu dared not speak, lowering his head as much as possible.

"You go out and wait," Chen Badao suddenly waved his hand.

"Yes, sir." Jiang Taichu did not dare to delay and quickly retreated.

After everything returned to calm, Chen Badao said leisurely, "Xiao Wen, do you know you have a fiancée?"

Fiancée?

Chen Wen frowned.

He didn't know why Chen Badao suddenly brought this up.

"Your fiancée is from the Ancient Kingdom of Roran, a hidden force that has been passed down for billions of years."

"Not only does she have immense backing, but her own talent is also a once-in-ten-thousand-years rarity. Her appearance, naturally, is also top-notch."

"She is currently undergoing trials, and the location for these trials is the Heavenly Maiden Sacred Land."

Upon hearing this, Chen Wen was stunned and understood the implication behind Chen Badao's words.

Chu Tianlong wasn't content with impersonating him; he was even trying to claim his fiancée.

As for how far things had progressed, it was impossible to know.

"You mentioned earlier that it was someone familiar committing the crime. Now I believe you. They even know about your engagement," Chen Badao suddenly sneered.

Chen Wen suddenly had a terrifying guess: "Father, among the things you left me, was there a token of betrothal?"

"Yes, a unique Imperial Dragon Pendant, forged from Ten-Thousand-Year True Dragon Marrow," Chen Badao replied.

"Then this is truly a flawless plan. My unique Imperial Bone, the token of betrothal, and my age."

Speaking of this, Chen Wen's lips curled. "It probably won't be long before I can officially return to the clan, right? Even a fake can become real."

As soon as he said this, Chen Badao and the others' expressions turned even colder.

Because this situation was not impossible.

The Imperial Bone was inherently unique and could regenerate blood.

With a bit of manipulation over a period of time, this matter could be made to stick.

Chen Wen glanced at everyone and continued, "Based on the existing clues, the person manipulating all of this is very likely within our Chen Clan."

"Now that you've made such a big move, they must have received the news."

"Their best course of action would be to kill Chu Tianlong before I could react and destroy the Imperial Bone."

"This way, all the clues would vanish into thin air."

At this point, Chen Wen paused. "But in reality, I can still sense the existence of the Imperial Bone, and it has already grown to a certain extent."

"So, the current situation is likely that those people haven't contacted Chu Tianlong immediately."

Chen Wudi's eyes suddenly lit up. "That means they've lost their best opportunity to act."

"In this situation, they wouldn't dare to make a move again, not even with a simple hint."

"Because they're also afraid we'll lure the snake out of its hole and expose ourselves."

Chen Wen nodded. "Exactly. Now, we can only hope Chu Tianlong has some clues."

"As long as Chu Tianlong has clues, none of those people will escape."

Hearing this, Chen Badao made a decisive statement. "In that case, your mother and I will return to the clan first."

"On one hand, it's to prevent certain individuals from becoming desperate and causing chaos."

"On the other hand, we'll secretly monitor everything and seal off the entire Ancient Yuan Realm."

"At that point, if they dare to make a move, they'll all die."

"Xiao Di and Xiao Mian, go investigate the visitors from the Upper Realm who have entered the Ancient Yuan Realm these past few days and keep a close eye on them."

"If they make any suspicious moves, apprehend them immediately. I'll take full responsibility."

"Understood." Chen Hongmian and Chen Wudi nodded in succession.

"As for you, Xiao Wen, you have two options. The first is to go to the Heavenly Maiden Sacred Land and see what the situation is there."

"If nothing unexpected happens, you'll have a chance to personally exact your revenge."

"The second is to return with us. As for Chu Tianlong, we'll hand him over to you once we capture him, so you can personally get your revenge."

Chen Wen said without hesitation, "I'll go to the Heavenly Maiden Sacred Land. It just so happens I want to meet that Chu Tianlong."

Compared to achieving his goals through others, he preferred to savor the process of driving Chu Tianlong to despair before his death.

Only then could he provide an explanation to himself and his original self.
