Fifteen minutes later.
The land of the Ancient Kingdom of Chenliu, on the southern border.
Tear!
A massive spatial rift appeared out of nowhere, and amidst the surging starlight, two figures flew out.
Chen Qingyu stood in the void, looking up, and a familiar small town was in the distance.
Liyang City
His eyes flickered slightly, his thoughts churning.
This was his third visit to this small border town.
The first time was when his father, Chen Zhengxing, took him to the depths of the Chen Clan tombs in the city to retrieve a drop of the Saint King's Blood.
The second time was when he left the Divine Capital and traveled south, where he met up with Wu Su'e here.
He thought he would never have any further contact with this small town in his life, but unexpectedly, he came back here in less than a year.
We have arrived in Liyang City.
The Ninth Ancestor turned his head, saw Chen Qingyu, and said:
Would you like to try again, and see if you can sense the location of the reincarnated body of the Great Void Primal Spirit more accurately?
Um.
Chen Qingyu responded, immediately closed his eyes, activated his True Gang, silently focused his mind, and used Purple Star Astrology ).
He quickly opened his eyes again, shook his head, and said:
No, the divination of celestial secrets can only point to Liyang City at most, and cannot foresee more specific scenes.
Is that so?
Upon hearing this, the Ninth Ancestor was not particularly disappointed.
In fact, he was well aware that the method of divination had too many limitations and was often ineffective because there were too many factors that could interfere with the divination.
Chen Qingyu's ability to make such clear calculations already surprised him greatly.
Let's go then, let's take a stroll around the city.
You have a connection with the Great Void Primal Spirit; you might discover some clues.
Ninth Ancestor spoke, he gestured for Chen Qingyu to follow, and then transformed into a streak of starlight, speeding towards Liyang City.
soon:
The Ninth Ancestor and Chen Qingyu settled in Liyang City.
The people coming and going around them seemed oblivious to their presence, unaware that they were automatically avoiding them.
This is an application of divine power, and it's not a difficult task for Chen Qingyu.
Life here is truly peaceful and tranquil.
Chen Qingyu and Ninth Ancestor walked along the long street, looking at the surrounding scenery, and couldn't help but feel emotional.
The shadow of war looms over the major holy lands and top powers, while ordinary people and cultivators remain completely unaware of it.
In Liyang City:
The people lived in peace and contentment, and the local city lord, surnamed Chen Clan, was a compassionate and diligent person.
Here, the locals have grown accustomed to a leisurely pace of life; the market is bustling and vibrant, and people greet each other with smiles.
It's truly a paradise.
The Ninth Ancestor sighed:
If war breaks out and order is lost, it's unknown how many years it will take to restore this state of affairs.
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu remained silent.
Six or seven out of ten people in Liyang City are surnamed Chen, and they are descendants of the Chen clan of Chen Clan of Changluo, whose Saint King Bloodline is very thin.
Such people were scattered throughout the Ancient Kingdom of Chenliu, and their numbers were countless.
Once the battle turns against them and they suffer a complete defeat, only the direct descendants of the clan and a few elites from collateral branches can escape in the Floating Heavenly Palace, while the rest can only passively accept their fate.
Hopefully we can win.
He sighed silently to himself.
Liyang City is not large. After half an hour of sightseeing, Ninth Ancestor and Chen Qingyu had explored most of the city.
You brat, are you out of your mind?
Give it back to me!
Suddenly, the sound of arguing broke out in a dark alley.
Um?
Chen Qingyu turned his head and was momentarily stunned.
In the depths of a dark alley, several seven- or eight-year-old children were bullying a little girl with tattered clothes and messy hair.
Give me back my baby!
The little girl's face flushed red as she rushed forward, scratching and clawing at the boy who was leading the group.
Hahaha
The boy held a clean white handkerchief in one hand and gently pushed the little girl's forehead with the other, looking quite pleased with himself.
It's just a rag, and you're treating it like a treasure?
I'm not paying you back, what can you do about it?
Upon hearing this, the little girl's eyes immediately reddened, and she suddenly bit the big boy's hand.
ah!
The boy cried out in pain, pulled his hand back, and saw the bleeding teeth marks. He was immediately filled with shock and anger.
You brat! You dare bite me?
As he spoke, he threw down the white silk handkerchief and prepared to join forces with several boys to give the little girl a good beating.
stop!
Chen Qingyu shouted, and his figure instantly appeared, startling the boys.
He stood in front of the little girl and glared at the boys:
You lot bullied a young girl; don't you have any sense of public morality? What kind of upbringing did you receive?
The boys were frightened and scattered immediately. The eldest boy ran the fastest, not even caring about being bitten.
An adult has arrived!
Walk quickly, walk quickly
The Ninth Ancestor walked over, somewhat amused:
I didn't realize you were so kind-hearted.
The little girl ran forward, picked up the white handkerchief and hid it behind her back, secretly observing the two people in front of her, her expression clearly uneasy.
Don't misunderstand.
Chen Qingyu blinked and pointed to the white silk handkerchief she had hidden behind her back:
That thing is mine.
The little girl's expression changed, she looked flustered, and stammered:
This isn't yours! I found it!
Chen Qingyu smiled slightly, probed his spatial ring with his divine sense, scanned it once, and then immediately reached out and flipped his hand, producing a handkerchief.
He picked up the handkerchief, pointed to a corner, and showed it to the little girl:
Did you see that?
My name is embroidered on it, just like your handkerchief.
Upon hearing this, the little girl took a closer look at the two ancient-style small characters "Qingyu," and her face immediately paled slightly.
She cherished her treasure very much, examining the corner of her brocade handkerchief many times over, and indeed there were two identical characters.
You, you
She seemed caught in a dilemma, and after a long while, she lowered her head and said:
Since it is yours, then I
She wanted to say that she would return the treasure to the person in front of her, but the words wouldn't come out.
She's had this treasure for over half a year now. It's so magical that she loves it so much that she needs to touch it to feel at ease, even when she's sleeping.
Handing it over like this was something she was extremely reluctant to do.
Oh
Chen Qingyu smiled and teased deliberately:
Do you know how much this handkerchief is worth?
Upon hearing this, the little girl looked up and instinctively asked:
How many taels of silver is it worth?
How many taels of silver?
Chen Qingyu chuckled and shook his head, then his smile faded as he slowly began to speak:
This handkerchief is made from five precious materials: Heavenly Silkworm Silk, Golden Silkworm Silk, Black Silkworm Silk, Snow Silkworm Silk, and Spirit Silkworm Silk. After being soaked in diluted Heavenly Dew, it was hand-woven by a female craftswoman at the Divine Ability Realm. The stitches are so fine that they are indistinguishable to the naked eye, making it a masterpiece of craftsmanship.
This handkerchief is stain-resistant, self-cleaning, and a hundred times tougher than steel armor. If it were sold, it would be enough to buy the entire Liyang City.
The little girl was startled when she heard this.
She didn't understand any of what Chen Qingyu said before; she only remembered the last sentence. "This treasure can buy a city!"
Are you telling the truth?
She could hardly believe it:
Could this thing really buy the entire Liyang City?
Of course.
Chen Qingyu smiled slightly:
I am a Chen Clan of Changluo, and I live in the central district of the Divine Capital. Even the things I use every day, such as my washbasin, are priceless.
Upon hearing this, the little girl immediately shook her head like a rattle drum:
Then I don't want it.
You should take this valuable item back.
As she spoke, she handed the clean white handkerchief in her hand to Chen Qingyu.
Chen Qingyu did not accept it, but instead looked her up and down, filled with emotion:
It turns out that we were destined to be together.
The wonders of the world are beyond compare.
The Ninth Ancestor, who was standing to the side, listened to the conversation between the two from beginning to end. At first, he had a strange smile on his face, but he quickly changed his expression and his eyes became serious.
He stepped forward and asked quietly:
Is that her?
You provided the starting sign-in rewards for the legendary Zhuang Shisan, featuring Chen Qingyu from the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Transformations Zhuang Shisan.
