Chapter 143 A Person with a Fate
Lingxiao Mansion, the Qian family!
Pa~!
A teacup flew over and hit Qian Yao, who was kneeling on the ground, in the face.
The teacup shattered instantly, and scalding tea mixed with tea leaves slid down his cheeks, burning his skin until it turned red, but he dared not move!
"Useless! Idiot! Moron! Why don't you just die?"
Qian Yao's father, Qian Wanli, the head of the Qian family, was now acting like a shrew, his face flushed red, pointing at Qian Yao's nose and cursing loudly!
"Are those two holes in your eyes for breathing? A grown man, in the same animal enclosure as you, and you didn't even notice, but Liu Chengzhi did?"
"You think you're just borrowing contribution points? You're just after his resources! You're despicable! For such a trivial matter, you're going to collude with Zhao Qianyang to kill him? Why don't you just die yourself?!"
"Do you even know how much trouble your stupidity has brought to the Qian family?! That's a prodigy ranked twenty-seventh on the popularity list—"
Qian Yao couldn't help but defend himself, "Father, my targeting of Chu Xuan wasn't just because he didn't lend me contribution points. The main reason is that I had my eye on his three beast farms! Who knew this kid was so cunning—"
Snapped!
Another scalding hot teacup smashed into Qian Yao's face.
"You still have the nerve to talk back?!"
Qian Wanli, enraged, laughed coldly, "Since this kid is hiding his true abilities so well, why was Liu Chengzhi able to discover his extraordinary nature and become his friend! You, who were easier to approach, have become his enemy?!"
"I----"
Qian Yao was speechless.
"alright!"
At that moment, an old yet deep voice came from outside.
Immediately afterwards, an elderly man with gray hair but a vigorous spirit strode in.
"father!"
"grandfather!"
The two immediately called out respectfully.
The newcomer was none other than Qian Jiujiang, the former patriarch of the Qian family and the strongest member of the family today—a martial artist who had reached the Great Perfection of Qi!
Qian Jiujiang glanced at the broken porcelain shards on Qian Yao's face and said indifferently, "I heard most of what happened outside. Now that it has already happened, what's the use of blaming Yao'er?"
Besides, so what if he's ranked twenty-seventh on the Wind and Cloud Ranking? So what if he's entered the inner sect of the Xuan Yang Sect? To put it bluntly, he's still just a Qi Refining martial artist!
As long as Chu Xuan doesn't break through to the True Yuan realm, he's not qualified to make our Qian family feel like we're facing a formidable enemy!
Qian Wanli said with a wry smile, "Father! This bastard is such a troublemaker! I haven't even cleaned up the mess he made by killing two fellow disciples, and now he's messed with another disciple who's at the Gang Jin level! If I don't teach him a lesson soon, he might offend a True Yuan expert next time! Then our Qian family will be truly finished!"
Qian Jiujiang said calmly, "What's a father's job if not to clean up his son's mess? Otherwise, what use are you? I cleaned up your messes a lot back then!"
Qian Wanli's lips twitched, and he was speechless!
Qian Jiujiang then looked at Qian Yao and asked, "Yao'er, tell me, did Chu Xuan really kill Zhao Qianyang?"
Qian Yao hesitated for a moment before saying, "It shouldn't be him! No matter how monstrous Chu Xuan is, it's impossible for him to have broken through to the Gang Jin realm before entering the Xuan Yang Sect! Zhao Qianyang has only reached the Lesser Completion of the Gang Jin realm—"
Qian Jiujiang stared intently at him, emphasizing each word: "Yes, no?!"
Qian Yao stiffened, and after a moment said bitterly, "I'm not sure either!"
"That's it!"
Qian Jiujiang withdrew his gaze, his voice turning indifferent again, "Perhaps he used some means to succeed! But being able to kill Zhao Qianyang, a martial artist who had only reached the minor stage of Gang Jin, even if he used tricks, is enough to prove his strength."
From this perspective, the popularity rankings underestimated him! Perhaps he deserves a place in the top ten!
Upon hearing this, both Qian Wanli and Qian Yao were startled.
Top ten on the popularity chart?
Such a person is guaranteed entry into the inner sect, and becoming a disciple of an elder is a piece of cake. With a bit of luck, they might even be accepted as a disciple by the peak master!
Although he was only a nominal disciple, not a true disciple!
But their identities are now completely different!
In that case, even if Chu Xuan is still only at the Gang Jin level, the Qian family will be finished!
Qian Jiujiang said again, "Is there any possibility of resolving the conflict between you and Chu Xuan? Think it over before you speak!"
Qian Yao pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's impossible! He should have already guessed that I helped Zhao Qianyang plot against him. The reason he pretended not to know is probably because he hadn't found an opportunity to retaliate, or because he was afraid of our Qian family!"
Qian Jiujiang nodded, showing no anger, but his voice grew increasingly cold, carrying a chilling killing intent: "Since we've completely offended him, let's nip him in the bud before he grows stronger!"
"Sun Nianxi is dead?"
Chu Xuan was also somewhat moved upon hearing this news.
Lu Xiaoshuang and her two companions kept a low profile in the outer sect, avoiding greed and rashness. They mostly carried out low-level tasks, primarily operating in the outer perimeter of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range!
The mission went smoothly this time as well, but on the way back, they were ambushed by other martial artists!
In the end, Sun Nianxi died, Lin Chong was seriously injured, and Lu Xiaoshuang was also seriously injured.
Chu Xuan was also deeply moved.
Although before coming to Xuan Yang Sect, Lin Chong and Sun Nianxi had considered him a burden and refused to team up with him.
After all, we're not familiar with each other, and nobody wants to bring along a burden.
He didn't want to either, which is why he didn't team up with the three.
But after arriving at the Xuan Yang Sect, everyone grew, and the group quickly realized they weren't some kind of prodigy. They weren't particularly outstanding within the sect.
Lin Chong and the others apologized to him more than once for their previous behavior, and the unpleasantness from before had long since vanished.
Although we haven't seen each other much these days, we've gotten along quite well!
Unexpectedly, Sun Nianxi is gone!
After sighing a few times, Chu Xuan put aside his distracting thoughts.
In the Xuan Yang Sect, the Transformation Realm disciples are at the very bottom, and the Gang Realm disciples can only be said to have the ability to protect themselves, and are not considered strong at all!
Only by transcending the Gang Jin (罡劲) and becoming Zhen Yuan (真元), or even a higher level of existence, can one live a better life instead of becoming a stepping stone for others!

【Blood Shadow Assassin (2743/10000)】
"Finally, we've achieved some success!"
A smile appeared on Chu Xuan's face.
It wasn't in vain that he had been personally killing the strange beasts these past few days, not even sparing the first-tier beasts.
Many disciples of the Hundred Beasts Garden are now secretly spreading rumors about his unusual hobbies.
Fortunately, it was all worth it!
The improvement brought about by the minor mastery of Gang Jin is not a qualitative leap.
Instead, the internal energy has become more profound and refined!
Now, if Chu Xuan were to use the Heaven-Sealing and Earth-Locking Technique again, he would certainly not exhaust himself like he did when dealing with Zhao Qianyang last time.
Then, Chu Xuan added all his essence points to the Blood Shadow Thorn.

【Blood Shadow Assassin (10000/10000)】
In an instant, a wealth of insights about Blood Shadow Assassin filled his mind.
Blood Shadow Strike is a technique for attacking the soul.
It does not penetrate the flesh and bones, nor does it harm the blood and flesh, but it pierces straight to the soul.
It does not rely on the outward release of internal energy, nor does it condense any tangible matter. Instead, it uses the cultivator's own essence and blood as fuel, which, after burning, transforms into an invisible and intangible force, condensing into a "needle" that is invisible to the naked eye and imperceptible to the body.
The key to the breakthrough lies in transforming the tangible into the intangible!
Most people who practice Blood Shadow Thrust will get stuck here. If they are not careful, they will damage their soul and spirit, which is difficult to cure with medicine.
Therefore, although the Blood Shadow Thrust is unpredictable in its attacks, few in the Blood God Cult dare to practice it. The soul is formless and intangible, yet it truly exists; once injured, it is virtually impossible to recover.
But this is not a problem for Chu Xuan. As long as he breaks through to the Gang Jin realm and all the techniques in the Gang Jin realm are mastered to perfection, he can break through!
In the blink of an eye, Chu Xuan clearly felt his life force slipping away.
The feeling was peculiar, like a few grains of sand falling from an hourglass—very slight, yet undeniably real.
Immediately afterwards, a faint blood-red vertical line appeared between his eyebrows, and after a flash, it disappeared beneath his skin.
Blood Shadow Assassin, done!
Chu Xuan opened his eyes but did not test the power of the Blood Shadow Thorn.
Although the Blood Shadow Thorn is not a one-time consumable, each use comes at the cost of burning one's essence blood, making recovery much more difficult than restoring one's vital energy.
As for its power, let those who are destined to experience it try it out.
