Douluo: A Century-old Legend I Am the Second Uncle Chenxin

Chapter 887: Flowers will bloom again after falling, waiting for the coming year

In recent days, the grand banquet held by the Chen family was like a sudden storm, which violently swept across the entire soul master world and set off huge waves.

At the banquet, the appearance of twenty or thirty powerful titled masters undoubtedly became the most shocking news. Their powerful strength and prominent status, which were the first in decades, attracted a lot of attention.

At the same time, the news of the sky-high auction spread far and wide, and stories about various rare treasures and sky-high prices sold became a hot topic of conversation among the people.

In addition, the appeal of Chang'an Happy Week cannot be underestimated, and major forces and chambers of commerce have expressed great interest in it.

The competition among the young heroes attracted countless people's attention. Their outstanding performance and outstanding talents became the most dazzling highlight of the banquet.

It is particularly worth mentioning that the Chen family's Seven Star Sword, which is full of golden sentences, officially came to the fore at this banquet, entered the vision of many forces, and stepped onto the stage of history.

Therefore, when the next issue of the Tianjiao list is about to be released, it is quite interesting. The summary is as follows:

.....................

The reputation of Chen Xiaojun and the Chen family's Seven Star Sword is prominently listed, shining brightly. Chen Bin and Chen Shurui are also honored to be on the list, ranking 83rd and 84th.

This update adds new stars, Shen Youchu, Zhu Wuxin and Dugu Fu make their eye-catching debut.

At the same time, Zhu Wuneng and Su Ningxia's rankings also climbed, showing significant progress.

Looking at this list of geniuses, it is not difficult to find some interesting things contained in it.

First of all, the sudden appearance of the Chen family's Seven Star Sword is undoubtedly the most eye-catching focus.

Tianshi City not only fully accepted the elegant name of the Seven-Star Sword, but also went a step further and gave the three outstanding figures Yan Wu, Jian Jun and Jian Zun the honorific title of 'xx Sword Lord' respectively.

This name of 'Sword Lord' not only demonstrates their high praise for talent and strength, but also becomes a promotional symbol of linkage between them.

It is worth mentioning that Chen Xiaojun’s nickname is not Ziwei Sword, but Ziwei Emperor Sword. The deep meaning contained in it is very meaningful.

Secondly, because of the Chen family, a special column called "Poetry Number" was added to the list, and the beautiful poems that narrated the shocking appearance of the Chen family's Seven Star Sword were put on the list.

This added a touch of elegance to the heroes, and also made people who subscribed to the list, especially young spirit masters, envious.

To put it bluntly, these two points are just gimmicks, eye-catching economy, and increased publicity.

Uh, this was suggested by Chen Xiaojun.

Third, in terms of ranking, except for Chen Jianjun who defeated Tang Chen, the others have all improved, and the extent is just right.

Chen Xiaojun was promoted one level.

Chen Yanwu was promoted two places and ranked behind Tang Chen, while Chen Jianzun took over Chen Yanwu's ranking.

Chen Fengchen Mu did improve by nearly twenty places, but it was more of a potential improvement, after all, he was at the ceiling level of Soul Master.

In this way, we can demonstrate strength without losing fairness or being outrageous.

Fourth, evaluation. The comments of the Chen family members are becoming more refined and concise, much less than those of others, which are actually nonsense.

Of course, this is all a story for later.

…………

Three days later, as the morning light began to break, the gate of Chang'an City looked particularly solemn under the reflection of the morning glow.

At the city gate, there was a bustling crowd, among which a group of people wearing the Tiandou Academy uniform were particularly eye-catching.

Tang Chen and Tang Xiao stood side by side, surrounded by teachers and students from Tiandou College. They were either excited or reluctant, with emotion written all over their faces about the upcoming end of the vacation.

This group of teachers and students have just finished an unforgettable journey. As representatives of Tiandou College, they spent an unforgettable summer vacation in Chang'an City.

During this summer vacation, the teachers and students of Tiandou College not only enjoyed a leisurely time, but also went through many unforgettable experiences: they had fierce competitions, in-depth academic exchanges, and even experienced combat in the encirclement and suppression of the Longzong War. These will become precious assets in their life journey.

The two major forces, the Haotian Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Family, have completed business transactions with the Chen family.

At this moment, teachers and students followed them back to the central area of ​​the empire.

Such an arrangement undoubtedly adds a bit of security to their journey home.

After all, it is August 22nd and the new semester is about to begin. Returning to school safely is everyone's wish.

Tang Xiao looked back at the towering city wall, with an inexplicable emotion welling up in his heart. He murmured to himself, "I will be back."

Hearing this, Tang Chen patted his shoulder gently.

He also looked back at the burly figure in the direction of the young man from the Chen family, and silently said in his heart: "Chen Jianjun, we will meet again."

As if by telepathy, Chen Jianjun looked back and grinned.

In the crowd, Ling Xinyao was reluctantly bidding farewell to Chen Yanwu and Zhu Wuxin.

She whispered to Chen Yanwu, "Sister Yanwu, Sister Wuxin, remember to come to Tiandou College to see me next time."

Chen Yanwu waved gently.

Zhu Wuxin took out an exquisite gift box and handed it to Ling Xinyao: "Xinyao, here, this is for you. I specially asked Sister Ruyan to get it for you. It is a newly launched Yunjin woven clothing style. I hope you like it."

……

As the sound of horse hooves faded away, the crowd at the gate of Chang'an gradually dispersed, like the light in the morning light, always shining on their way forward.

Flowers will bloom again when they fall, and their fragrance will be stored for the next year!
………………

Meanwhile, the Duke's Palace.

Chen Xun was accompanying Ma Zhibin, and the two were chatting and tasting wine.

Now there is no such good wine as before, only the fifth-grade Zhi wine.

Naturally, Chen Xiaojun, who was sitting next to him, was just drinking "Ice and Fire".

Chen Xun looked at Ma Zhibin with some gloom, "No, you've been drinking with me several times in the past few days. Is there something wrong?"

Ma Zhibin didn't care and curled his lips and said, "Do I need a reason to ask you to drink? Or is your good wine running out?"

Chen Xun had an expression that said, "You know it's good." He said disdainfully, "How can you drink like that? You always drink three or five jars of wine. No matter how much wine you drink, it's not enough for you."

Ma Zhibin didn't take it seriously and retorted: "Don't be stingy, this wine is not a seventh or eighth grade wine."

"Based on your previous sales volume, it shouldn't be a problem to stock a few thousand jars of these five-flavor wines, right? What's wrong with letting me drink some?"

Chen Xun pretended to be dissatisfied: "You are being a rogue."

Ma Zhibin didn't care at all and continued, "We are brothers, so what's yours is mine, right? Xiaojun, what do you think?"

Chen Xiaojun smiled and responded, "Uncle Ma, please enjoy your meal."

Chen Xun stared at him intently and sighed, "I've never seen you drink so much before."

Chen Xiaojun took over the conversation: "This wine is very beneficial to Uncle Ma's health. You must feel very comfortable."

Ma Zhibin gave a thumbs up and laughed, "Xiao Xiaojun, you really have a good brain, uh, and a good mouth too."

Then he turned his head and teased, "Old Xun, you are really not as good as your son. A tiger father will have a dog son. When people say you are a tiger father, they are praising you, Old Xun."

Chen Xun snorted and asked, "Why, is this wine so good for your body?"

Ma Zhibin had a bitter face and muttered, "Old Xunzi, you don't know how hard I've been through."

"You also know that the soul power of my Ma family is explosive and operates rapidly."

"Over time, we have accumulated a lot of hidden injuries."

"Coupled with the serious injury a few years ago, my body has many hidden dangers."

"This wine has the effect of healing the body. It is indeed of great benefit to our Ma family. It is really like a sweet rain, cooling the meridians."

"Even if it's not the seventh or eighth grade, the fifth or sixth grade wine has significant benefits for my meridians and body." "Just the wine I drank these days has made me feel much better."

Chen Xun's expression froze slightly when he heard this, and he nodded, "I see, it's the right medicine for the disease. In that case, you can drink more and remember to pay the bill."

Ma Zhibin jumped up and said, "Damn it, Lao Xunzi, you have changed. You didn't care so much before."

Chen Xun replied lightly: "I'll share it with others."

Ma Zhibin rolled his eyes, raised his glass and drank again, praising: "It's okay, this account will be put on my Ma family, and I will settle the bill with my father later!"

Chen Xun was unmoved, "You are cheating your father again, aren't you?"

Ma Zhibin chuckled, "Xiaojun, you should try it too. This wine is not only mellow in taste, but also has a miraculous effect of nourishing the body."

Chen Xiaojun chuckled, raised the 'Ice and Fire' in his hand, took a sip, and said: "This one in my hand is also a good product."

The three of them chatted and laughed, and after three rounds of drinks, the atmosphere became more harmonious.

Ma Zhibin suddenly changed the subject, with a tone of inquiry: "Xiaojun, my mistress, Ma Liang, shouldn't you have someone bring her here?"

Chen Xiaojun nodded slightly and responded, "I have already given the order, it should be here soon."

Soon, Zhu Wuneng led Ma Liang into the house.

Ma Liang's face was pale, his lips were dry, and his steps were unsteady, as if he had not eaten for many days.

The clothes he was wearing were as white as snow, obviously they had just been washed.

As soon as Ma Liang entered the room, he bowed to everyone present and said in a weak voice, "Second Uncle, I'm back."

Ma Zhibin frowned slightly and asked with concern: "Xiao San, what happened to you? Xiaojun, did you throw Xiao San into the ravine?"

Chen Xiaojun shook his head and explained, "How could I do such a thing? Uncle Ma, we are old friends, how could I treat Xiaoliang badly?"

As he said this, he smiled gently at Ma Liang.

Ma Liang's body trembled slightly, his pupils contracted sharply, and he said, "Second Uncle, I'm fine, I just didn't sleep well these few days."

Ma Zhibin almost spit out the wine in his mouth.

Is this the Ma Liang who usually complains about everything and everyone?

He looked at Ma Liang, then at Chen Xiaojun, and couldn't help but ask subconsciously: "How did you do it?"

Chen Xiaojun replied calmly, "Didn't I tell you to leave him alone for three days? So, don't ask anymore."

Ma Zhibin suddenly felt that the braised chicken feet in his hand were no longer fragrant, and asked without knowing what was going on: "Are you performing magic?"

At this time, Ma Liang said softly: "Second Uncle, I was ignorant a lot of the time before, and I'm sorry for causing you trouble."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaojun smiled even more brightly.

……

After returning to his residence, Ma Liang became unusually polite and began to eat slowly. Although he ate a lot, he did not make as much noise as before. Instead, he seemed very polite.

It was as if the lawless spirit from before had disappeared without a trace.

Ma Liangji's eyelids twitched as he watched, and he asked, "Xiao San, what happened to you? Why are you suddenly not like yourself?"

Ma Liang put down his bowl and chopsticks and said in a low voice: "Brother, it's nothing. It's just that Brother Xiaojun made me understand that I actually have nothing to be proud of. Without my family, I am nothing."

Upon hearing this, Ma Tianyang remained silent.

He has always loved this precious grandson very much. Seeing such a completely different behavior, he couldn't help but wonder: "What on earth did this little brat Chen Xiaojun do to you?"

Ma Liang gave a faint bitter smile, "Brother Xiaojun gave me a chance to re-examine myself and find my true self."

Ma Tianyang: ???

Ma Zhibin: ???

Ma Liangji: ???

Ma Liang's eyes were dim and he was silent for a long time before he slowly said, "He buried me alive for three days."

Ma Liangji almost got tongue-tied when he heard this: "Buried alive?"

Ma Liang nodded and replied calmly, "Yes, he sealed my soul veins, tied me up, put me in a big box, and buried me underground, with only a tube for ventilation."

When Ma Liang was first buried alive, he was filled with fear and confusion.

He shouted and roared with all his might, but his voice fell on deaf ears. Only the echo remained in the box, and the only response he got was endless silence.

The long darkness and deathly silence were like a pair of invisible giant hands, tightly strangling his throat, making him feel suffocated even more and filled with uneasiness with every breath.

He struggled hard, but found that his limbs were tightly bound and his soul veins were sealed. He couldn't even mobilize the most basic soul power, and he felt helpless.

At that moment, despair was like a surging tide, mercilessly swallowing him up and drowning him in an endless abyss.

He was afraid and terrified, and finally, exhausted, he unknowingly sank into a chaotic dream.

When he woke up, he had no idea how he fell asleep, and he didn't remember anything about his dream.

Time seemed to have lost its meaning. In the endless darkness, hunger and thirst began to attack his body, while the surroundings were still silent, no one listened, no one shared his concerns.

He could only wander between sleep and wakefulness, over and over again, in a daze, as if he was in an endless dream.

When the box was fished out, he regained his freedom from confinement and basked in the long-lost sunshine.

At that moment, the past pride, indulgence and unruliness became so insignificant and even a little ridiculous under the warm sunshine.

He realized that he had always relied too much on the power of his family. Without his family, he would be nothing.

It's good to be alive!
Ma Liang raised his head, with a hint of red in his eyes: "Grandpa, Second Uncle, Big Brother, I don't want to be called Ma Liang anymore, I want to restore my real name Ma Lianghua."

Ma Zhibin: “…”

Ma Liangji: Uェ*U
Ma Tianyang was calm and composed at this time, and said with dignity: "No need, I thought you were just calling me that before, but from now on, you have to truly live up to the name Ma Liang!"

…………

In the following days, the soul master world was shocked by a shocking news: Zhong Chunhua and his Zhong family members were unfortunately ambushed in the Barak Kingdom on their way home and all died.

The shock of this news was no less than the sensation caused by the Chen family's re-emergence in society.

The Zhong family and the Medical Alliance have jointly issued a reward, vowing to find out the real culprit behind the scenes and seek justice for him.

At the same time, the four top forces of the Barak Kingdom - the Barak royal family, the Temple of the Sun, the Ma family, and the Simon family - all took quick action. Together with all other top forces, they all paid close attention to the matter and launched a secret investigation.

Who is Zhong Chunhua?
The head of the "Xiangyao" Zhong family, one of the twenty-four famous families, is also the backbone of the Medical Alliance.

His martial soul, the "Fragrant Medicine Cauldron", is well-known in the world of soul masters and is jokingly called the Medicine King Cauldron. It is a top-notch eighth-grade martial soul and is second only to the Xiao family's Soul-Suppressing Cauldron among cauldron-type martial souls.

This "Fragrant Medicine Cauldron" martial spirit has an ancient appearance and exudes a light and elegant medicinal fragrance, which is quite unique.

Its functions are even more unique, integrating multiple special abilities in one.

The first and foremost ability is refining.

This martial soul can actually make medicine. Through the incense cauldron, it can make various kinds of elixirs with unique effects, such as restoring physical strength, increasing strength, detoxifying and healing wounds, etc. It is truly a great treasure in the soul master world.

Secondly, it has the ability to store.

The internal space of the incense and medicine cauldron is quite large, equivalent to a storage soul guide device.

It is large enough to hold a large amount of medicinal materials and pills, and can better maintain the efficacy of the medicines, providing the team with a steady supply and ensuring continuous combat capabilities in battle.

Furthermore, it can also assist in combat.

In fierce battles, the Medicine Cauldron can not only use soul skills to quickly refine elixirs that are suitable for the current battle situation and provide immediate support to the team;

Moreover, although its attack power is slightly insufficient, its defense power is quite considerable, building a solid barrier for the team.

Such a person who enjoyed a high reputation in the soul master world and was on par with top soul masters, Zhong Chunhua, encountered misfortune on his way home and his life came to an abrupt end.

His death was like a bolt from the blue, shocking the entire soul master world, like a tsunami.

Prior to this, the Medical Alliance and the Chen family had conducted in-depth and long-lasting discussions on the Chang'an Medicinal Materials Market and the Pan-Continental chain plan.

The cooperation between the two major forces was expected to bring new prosperity and order to the soul master world.

However, fate played a cruel joke on him at this moment.

Originally, Zhong Chunhua and the Zhong family planned to return with the Ye family, but the Ye family was left behind by the Chen family for some reason.

This incident turned out to be a turning point in their fate.

No one expected that on the way back, a sudden disaster struck, taking Zhong Chunhua and his people away forever.

He is able to deal with people like Zhong Chunhua, and is not afraid to offend the Medical Alliance, the most unoffensive group in the soul master world.

Even the assassin organizations are unwilling to take on such a mission, because it means becoming an enemy of the entire soul master world.

The Chen family was also shocked and angry about Zhong Chunhua's death.

Chen Shihua said sadly: "There are only a handful of soul master forces that have the motivation and ability to deal with them."

Chen Hong on the side said angrily: "This is a blatant provocation to our Chen family, we must not tolerate it!"

Chen Yu listened to Chen Shihua's words with a gloomy face and made a quick decision: "First, Old Meng, you take people to the Zhong family to express our condolences and respect;"

"Second, contact the Hua family and tell them that we support all their decisions on the Zhong family side and that we must strengthen our alliance;"

"Third, investigate the murderer with all our strength and ask Old Jianzi if it was he who did it."

"Xun'er, come with me now and go to your father-in-law's place. His old brother passed away suddenly, and it must be hard for him."

Chen Xun responded quickly, "Okay, father. Before, my father-in-law looked much older after hearing that Uncle Zhong was attacked and killed."

Chen Yu sighed and said, "I'm afraid this is just the beginning. They want more than just dealing with the Zhong family."

Chen Xun also became a little gloomy after hearing this, "If it weren't for my father-in-law staying behind for some reason, it might be dangerous to return with Uncle Zhong."

Chen Yu was somewhat disappointed, "The storm is about to come!"

A storm surrounding Zhong Chunhua's death quietly opened the prelude to the soul master world and lasted for a long time...
