Chen Jiuyang looked at the young man before him with interest and said, "Why do you ask me to save your life?"
The young man spoke, "Young Master, my name is Chen Huaxing. I am a member of the Chen family, five generations removed from the main lineage. I know a little about the inside story of your medicinal supplies being intercepted."
Under a great reward, there must be brave men.
Chen Jiuyang nodded slowly. "You come to report to me now. If I don't protect you, will you be retaliated against and harmed later?"
"Young Master is wise!" Chen Huaxing said, his face pale.
Chen Jiuyang said, "Then speak."
"Who!" At this moment, the Eighth Elder of the Chen family, standing beside Chen Jiuyang, suddenly roared. He unfurled his protective qi and shielded himself and Chen Jiuyang.
Dozens of crossbow bolts shot towards them, killing Chen Huaxing on the spot. The Eighth Elder was alerted by the sudden emergence of an unfamiliar aura from the outside world and shielded Chen Jiuyang. He did not expect that the other party would want to kill an ordinary person like Chen Huaxing.
Chen Huaxing died tragically before their eyes. Chen Jiuyang's face turned so grim that water could drip from it. "The Chen family of Suzhou and Hangzhou, what deep waters!"
Killing someone in front of him showed that they didn't take Chen Jiuyang, the young master of the Chen family, seriously at all.
This indicated that the internal affairs of the Chen family in Suzhou and Hangzhou were already very corrupt and dark.
Chen Jiuyang tapped his fingers on the wooden chair beneath him, his eyes chilling. "What a deep scheme."
Regardless of whether Chen Huaxing truly knew the inside story, he came to report to Chen Jiuyang. Before he could even speak, he was killed in front of Chen Jiuyang. If the news spread, even those who genuinely knew the inside story would not dare to report it to Chen Jiuyang.
The cake Chen Jiuyang promised was huge, but only if one could enjoy it with their life intact.
The Eighth Elder of the Chen family said, "Young Master, it seems we cannot intervene in this matter. We can only wait for the Patriarch to resolve it."
Chen Jiuyang nodded slowly. "If I didn't have several Grandmasters secretly protecting me, those people might have dared to make a move against me. This identity as the young master of the Chen family is indeed a bit troublesome."
Killing someone in front of them was also a warning: don't think you can do whatever you want just because you are the young master of the Chen family. You, Chen Jiuyang, do not have the final say in this Chen family.
"Beep beep beep!"
At this moment, Chen Jiuyang's phone rang. It was an unexpected call.
On the other end of the line was Ji Lengyue's weak voice: "Jiuyang, I'm in the restroom of room 888 at the Golden Splendor Club in Suzhou and Hangzhou. I've been injured and poisoned. I can't find anyone else to save me. Those people are still searching for my whereabouts, Jiuyang..."
Ji Lengyue's voice was filled with helplessness and fear. Before she could finish her words, the call was disconnected.
Chen Jiuyang's brow immediately furrowed. "We don't need to worry about the Chen family's matters for now. Let the Patriarch handle it. Uncle Fang, prepare the car, I'm going to the Golden Splendor Club in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and make it fast!"
The last time Chen Jiuyang saw Ji Lengyue, she had become a Yellow Realm martial artist and was promoted to a secret agent constable of the Six Doors. At that time, to avoid retaliation from Xi Butui, Chen Jiuyang had sent her to investigate cases in other regions. However, Chen Jiuyang never expected that Ji Lengyue would be investigating cases in Suzhou and Hangzhou and now be in danger.
He and Ji Lengyue had developed feelings for each other. Ji Lengyue was considered half a woman to Chen Jiuyang. Now that his woman was in danger, was there anything more important in the world? No!
Chen Jiuyang rushed to the Golden Splendor Club mentioned by Ji Lengyue, taking Fang Bahua and the Eighth Elder straight to room 888.
However, at the entrance of the private room, a group of martial artists in martial robes were searching the rooms one by one. According to Ji Lengyue's call, it was clear that these people were looking for Ji Lengyue's whereabouts.
Chen Jiuyang's heart immediately tightened. He said urgently, "Uncle Fang, Eighth Elder, make your move and deal with them, but leave them alive!"
As the words fell, Chen Jiuyang made the first move, shooting out dozens of silver needles.
Among the group of martial artists were Xuan Realm martial artists. Upon being attacked, they immediately reacted. The leading martial artist roared angrily, "Who! Who dares to attack us? Are you f***ing tired of living?"
Chen Jiuyang didn't bother to waste words with them. No matter what force they belonged to, he acted directly. The three of them attacked simultaneously, and in a few breaths, they had knocked out all these martial artists.
Chen Jiuyang rushed into the restroom of room 888 and saw Ji Lengyue, whose aura was extremely weak, lying unconscious in the restroom, covered in blood.
Chen Jiuyang's divine sense opened, and he immediately detected that Ji Lengyue's life was in extreme danger. She had lost a lot of blood from multiple wounds, and more importantly, there was a potent poison in her body.
If he had arrived ten minutes later, he wouldn't have been able to save her even if he had intervened.
Chen Jiuyang fed Ji Lengyue a Pure Yang Qi Replenishing Pill, then cut his own wrist and fed some of his Pure Yang vital blood to Ji Lengyue. Only then did he begin to use silver needles to treat Ji Lengyue and dress her wounds.
Chen Jiuyang had come in too much of a hurry and hadn't brought any medical tools. After half an hour of work, he finally managed to stabilize Ji Lengyue's life. Chen Jiuyang let out a sigh of relief, took off his clothes to cover Ji Lengyue, and carried her out of the restroom, preparing to leave.
Ji Lengyue's life was saved, but she still needed his careful treatment to gradually recover.
Time was of the essence.
Then, as Chen Jiuyang prepared to leave, the corridor was filled with dense martial artists, all wearing unified uniforms. The leader was a Grandmaster of the Earth Realm.
Chen Jiuyang's expression sank. "What force are you? How dare you hunt down a constable of the Six Doors?"
The Earth Realm Grandmaster leading them said calmly, "You can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense. My Jiangnan Sect is a legitimate sect, and we wouldn't dare to lay hands on a constable of the Six Doors. However, the woman you are holding is not a constable of the Six Doors."
"Nonsense!" Chen Jiuyang said sternly. "Do I not know my own woman?"
"Kid, this woman stole something from my Jiangnan Sect. Hand over this woman and the item, and I can let you go," the Earth Realm Grandmaster of the Jiangnan Sect said coldly. "You'd better accept my good intentions. In Suzhou and Hangzhou, not many forces can afford to offend my Jiangnan Sect."
"Go to hell! Try me if you dare!" Chen Jiuyang said coldly. "I don't care what grievances you have with my woman, but her life is in danger right now and she needs treatment. I am Chen Jiuyang, the young master of the Shu Mountain Chen family. Whatever grievances she has with your Jiangnan Sect, I will take them on!"
"Young Master Chen Jiuyang of the Shu Mountain Chen family?" The Earth Realm Grandmaster's eyes flickered slightly, then he said sternly, "Even if you are the young master of the Shu Mountain Chen family, you cannot take her away today!"
"Then stop the f***ing nonsense and let's settle this with our fists!" Chen Jiuyang said coldly. "Uncle Fang, Eighth Elder, please escort me out."
"Lame old man, I, Chen Jiuyang, was invited by your True Demon Sect to Suzhou and Hangzhou. Now I'm being blocked and can't leave. You decide what to do."
The lame old man grinned sinisterly, "What Jiangnan Sect? I've never even heard of it. Young Master Chen, just fight your way out!"
As the words fell, the lame old man struck out with his palm, and both sides engaged in a real fight.
