Chen Jiuyang politely declined the hundred billion resources, only waiting to serve the Marquis of Feng Province. The news sent ripples of shock through all directions!
Upon learning about Chen Jiuyang's background, most people fell silent, merely dispatching individuals to watch the unfolding spectacle. The Zhong family, the Marquis of Fengzhui, was not to be trifled with.
Thus, a night passed. Some sneered, believing Chen Jiuyang to be overly presumptuous. Refusing billions for the sake of a Marquis's mansion – wasn't it all for greater benefits and promises? If Chen Jiuyang hadn't received guidance from Zhu Jianjun, he might have truly joined the Misty Rain Sect for those hundred billion resources.
The next morning, Chen Jiuyang went to the riverside park to practice martial arts. Unlike the usual quiet atmosphere, this time, over a hundred martial artists of varying attire were practicing alongside him. Chen Jiuyang understood the situation perfectly but paid no mind, continuing his own practice.
Suddenly, a booming splash echoed from a distance! "Manipulating Qi to form shapes! It's a Grandmaster!" someone exclaimed. "Is a Grandmaster truly personally coming to take Chen Jiuyang as a disciple?" "There must be. Your hopes of a windfall are likely to be extinguished."
Chen Jiuyang also stopped practicing. On the river's surface, wave after wave erupted, and a figure was seen running across the water. The target was Chen Jiuyang's location! Chen Jiuyang's gaze sharpened. A宗师's true energy could leave the body; a Grandmaster could manipulate Qi to form shapes!
"Rumble!" A helicopter flew overhead. A figure leaped from the aircraft at an altitude of a hundred meters, using layers of true energy as stepping stones, allowing him to descend slowly. Such a feat, astonishing to ordinary people, was a reality in the martial world. "More than one Grandmaster!" "Who is this one?"
Within a few breaths, both figures appeared before Chen Jiuyang. Others gasped, "It's the strongest, Marquis Fengqing, and Marquis Fenghan!" Marquis Fenghan, who arrived by treading on water, had a ruddy complexion and white hair, appearing over sixty. Yet, his blood energy was vast, and his killing aura was palpable. Marquis Fengqing, who descended from the sky, was in his early forties, dressed in scholarly attire, appearing more like a refined scholar.
Upon meeting, Marquis Fengqing stood with his hands behind his back and said lightly, "Old man, you're not dead yet." Marquis Fenghan lit a cigarette, exhaled a puff of smoke, and chuckled, "You little brat, can't you speak properly? Are you here to snatch my disciple?"
Marquis Fengqing looked at Chen Jiuyang and said calmly, "Your talent is indeed excellent. I have a daughter who is very well-matched with you. Would you be willing to join my Marquis Fengqing Mansion?"
"Kid, don't be fooled by him. The Marquis allows seven wives, and he has thirteen daughters," Marquis Fenghan chuckled. "I have no children, I'm a lone wolf. When I die in a few years, you can inherit all my property."
"..." Chen Jiuyang was stunned. So, these Grandmasters thought he, Chen Jiuyang, wanted to climb higher and gain more power for the sake of greater wealth? They had misunderstood.
Chen Jiuyang cupped his fists and bowed, "I, Chen Jiuyang, seek a master not for glory or riches." "Whoever can bring justice and vindicate my father, allowing me to avenge him, I will recognize as my master!"
Marquis Fengqing spoke, "Your character is indeed good. You have no mortal enmity with the Marquis of Fengzhui. I can intervene and have the Marquis of Fengzhui hand over the culprits, bringing justice and vindication to your father."
"Kid, I, Marquis Fenghan, am a lone wolf. I can take you to the Marquis Fengzhui's mansion today to demand the surrender of the criminals and bring justice and vindication to your father today!" Marquis Fenghan, with his hot temper, spoke directly.
Chen Jiuyang cupped his fists and bowed to Marquis Fenghan, "Chen Jiuyang is willing to become Marquis Fenghan's disciple."
Marquis Fengqing sighed softly, "A pity." Marquis Fenghan grinned broadly, "Then let's perform the disciple ceremony."
"Master above, accept this disciple's bow!" Chen Jiuyang sincerely knelt and kowtowed three times to Marquis Fenghan. Marquis Fengqing was indecisive; Marquis Fenghan was simple and direct!
"Good child, get up," Marquis Fenghan nodded with satisfaction. He gently extended a hand, and an invisible true energy helped Chen Jiuyang up. He then cupped his fists in all directions and announced loudly, "Today, I, Marquis Fenghan, Xu Han Guang, accept a disciple. Fourteen days later, we will hold a grand banquet to inform everyone! I invite all of you to attend."
"We certainly will." "We will definitely come!" In the martial world, Feng Province had no king; the Six Doors were supreme. Below them were the various Marquis mansions and sects and denominations. With all the forces of Feng Province witnessing, Chen Jiuyang knelt and kowtowed to Marquis Fenghan, a decision that could never be changed. However, this also revealed Chen Jiuyang's character – willing to pay any price to clear his father's name!
The chief constable of the Six Doors sighed slightly, "Such a talented individual. It would have been good if he joined our Six Doors. What a pity..."
The disciple ceremony was over, and the various parties dispersed, spreading the news. Marquis Fenghan smiled and said, "Disciple Jiuyang, let's go. Your master keeps his word. We will go to the Marquis Fengzhui's mansion now to seek justice and vindication for your father!" As he spoke, Marquis Fenghan looked towards the direction of the Six Doors, "Since your Six Doors are here, come with me. Don't say I broke the rules."
An old man in the black uniform of the Six Doors stepped out, "Naturally, there is no objection." Chen Jiuyang felt a surge of excitement. After repeated failures, would his father finally receive justice?
Marquis Fenghan chuckled, "The Marquis of Fengzhui is currently in seclusion. Let's first greet him politely before resorting to force." The old man from the Six Doors nodded expressionlessly, "Notify the Marquis of Fengzhui."
Shortly after, a helicopter flew in and landed. Marquis Fenghan took Chen Jiuyang onto the helicopter. To Chen Jiuyang's slightly surprised expression, Marquis Fenghan said, "This is the standard helicopter provided by the Dragon Country for each Marquis mansion. When you reach the Earth Realm and become a Marquis, you will also enjoy the same treatment."
Chen Jiuyang nodded. In the eyes of the outside world, his entry into the Profound Realm at such a young age meant his entry into the Earth Realm was a foregone conclusion. Driving from Ziyang County to Fengcheng would take two hours, but by helicopter, it took only forty minutes to reach the Marquis Fengzhui Zhong Mansion, located in the eastern part of Fengcheng!
The gate of the Zhong Mansion was tightly shut. Marquis Fenghan sneered, "We've notified him, and he still closes the door. Then we won't be polite." With that, Marquis Fenghan swung his palm, directly shattering the mansion's gate.
"Boom!" Immediately, a calm voice rang out, "Xu Han Guang, do you really think I'm afraid of you!" A white-haired, imposing, and richly dressed old man appeared, staring directly at Marquis Fenghan.
Marquis Fenghan said, "Zhong Zhui Wu, I've brought my disciple today to seek justice." Zhong Zhui Wu looked at Chen Jiuyang, "What do you want?" Chen Jiuyang: "Make Wang Tian confess his guilt and bring justice and vindication to my father!" Zhong Zhui Wu said coldly, "Who do you think you are, wanting my Zhong Mansion to bow down?" "At most, your father will receive a suspended sentence and a million in compensation to settle the matter."
Chen Jiuyang's face turned ugly with anger. Marquis Fenghan patted Chen Jiuyang's shoulder, "Leave everything to your master." With that, Marquis Fenghan twisted his neck and looked at Zhong Zhui Wu, "I heard you've been in seclusion for twenty years. I wonder how much your strength has improved. Today, let me test you."
A cold smile slowly appeared on Zhong Zhui Wu's face, "Alright, come and try." As the words fell, the two began to fight!
