Eternal Sword

Chapter 651 Homecoming
Chen Tang was not in a hurry to leave Liangzhou City.

Firstly, to consolidate the realm of cultivation.

When we enter Beijing for rescue, the situation is extremely dangerous. The more we improve our strength, the more chances we will have.

This should be the only time he can squeeze out for practice.

Secondly, continue to repair the soul and strive to practice the "Burning Wood Knife" to the eighth level as soon as possible.

Yuan Qingmo was imprisoned in the Tianlao in the capital of Daqian. The young emperor wanted to execute him in public to serve as a warning to others and shock the world, so it was impossible for him to kill him.

Chang Sun Ming, Murong Haitang and others have also returned to the capital, and with Yuan Qingmu taking care of them in the capital, their lives should be safe.

Li Yan knew that Chen Tang's identity was sensitive.

If you want to take any action, it's best not to reveal your whereabouts.

Except for some old friends of Chen Tang, the news released to other people was that Demon Lord Xiling came to help.

This is not a lie.

However, even in the countries of Xiling, few people knew the Demon Lord’s real name.

Chen Tang practiced in Liangzhou City for nearly three months.

This night.

The moon and stars are rare.

Chen Tang sat quietly on the roof, his eyes half open and half closed, practicing the Kunpeng breathing method.

As he breathes in and out, he gets rid of the old and takes in the new.

The yin and yang innate true qi in Dantian became more and more condensed.

The attributes of the yin and yang qi are becoming increasingly obvious.

His dantian had already absorbed the power of the two great artifacts, the Vajra Relic, and his internal energy was as vast as the ocean.

Once you step into the innate state, all you have to do is slowly transform it.

In three months, the innate true qi has reached its peak and is approaching the ultimate state!
Before I knew it, the sky had brightened and the morning light was dim.

Chen Tang breathed a sigh of relief and opened his eyes.

It is midsummer now, and there is only a little over a month left until autumn.

He was ready to leave.

To rescue Yuan Qingmo, we need to plan and make arrangements in advance.

Chen Tang touched the bloodstain between his eyebrows.

For the past three months, in addition to practicing Kunpeng breathing method and burning wood knife, he practiced visualization method every day, observing the vast ocean to repair his soul.

The injury to his soul has eased a lot, and the bloodstain is lighter than it was more than three months ago.

After saying goodbye to everyone and making some arrangements, Chen Tang came to the stable that belonged to Hu Leibao and Wan Liyun.

During this period, Hu Leibao's injuries have almost healed.

After being baptized by the heavenly thunder, Hu Leibao looked more magical and spiritual than before.

Chen Tang said: "I'm leaving and going back to Pingzhou."

“哼哧。”

Hu Leibao snorted, shook his head, and glanced at Wanliyun beside him.

These days, Wanliyun's belly looks a little bigger.

From what Hu Leibao said, it seemed that he was not planning to go back with him and wanted to stay to take care of Wan Liyun.

Chen Tang laughed and said, "You beast have a conscience. You know to stay and accompany your wife."

"Humph!"

Hu Leibao snorted and glanced at Chen Tang sideways.

There was a hint of contempt in that look.

"Hey, what does that look of yours mean?"

Chen Tang gritted his teeth and said, "Why do I have no conscience?"

He had just finished speaking when his mind suddenly recalled the scene of him and Rosa having a deep conversation beside the oasis in Xiling.

At that time, Hu Leibao was standing nearby and watched it all from beginning to end.

Hu Leibao naturally didn't know the details, he just saw him put on his clothes, left Luosha behind and ran away.

So I thought he was a heartless person.

"I'm too lazy to explain it to you."

Chen Tang also snorted, glared at him, waved his hand and said, "Let's go."

After saying that, Chen Tang leaped into the air, his figure continuing to rise.

A ray of golden light broke through the air from afar and landed right under Chen Tang, carrying him away from Liangzhou City and quickly disappearing at the end of the sky.
-
Changze County.

On this day, a man in black came to the county. He was tall, had a sharp gaze, and had an extraordinary demeanor.

Passers-by in the county who accidentally caught a glimpse of him did not dare to look him in the eye, and avoided his gaze. However, a few people looked at the back of the man in black, frowning, as if thinking about something.

"Master, what's wrong?"

A woman asked in a low voice.

The middle-aged man next to him muttered, "That man looks a little familiar."

The woman curled her lips and said, "Forget it. If you have met such a person once, you will never forget him. We have lived in this poor and remote place all our lives, and we have never seen such a person before."

"Too."

The middle-aged man nodded and went home with the woman.

However, his eyes were still somewhat confused, and he looked back again.

Chen Tang returned to his hometown and looked at the surrounding scenery with mixed feelings.

Soon, he arrived in front of the Plum Blossom Martial Arts School.

This martial arts school was looted by the Black Water Gang a few years ago. The owner Mei Nianzhi was seriously injured and the school has since fallen into decline.

Today, it looks like it has been idle for a long time and is already dilapidated.

Chen Tang paused for a moment and continued walking forward.

Changze County looks more desolate than it did three years ago.

There are fewer pedestrians on the road.

Chen Tang moved his ears and could hear that many houses in the county were empty and no one lived there.

Not long after, he arrived at his home.

Chen Tang pushed the door open and walked in.

It’s still that familiar courtyard.

However, the yard was in a mess and the house had collapsed into ruins.

No one has come here in the past two or three years.

Chen Tang walked around before leaving the place. Not far along the street, he saw a familiar figure.

The weather has been warm recently.

When things were peaceful, the blacksmith shop's business was pretty good.

Nowadays, business is becoming increasingly difficult.

Old Sun was guarding the shop, leaning on a rattan chair, looking drowsy and sighing.

"Uncle Sun, I'll choose a knife."

Just then, a voice came from outside.

Old Sun shuddered all over, and before he even opened his eyes, he quickly said, "Okay, okay, what do you want, sir?"

As he spoke, Old Sun stood up and looked.

Standing at the door was a tall man in black, with black hair tied up and bright eyes, looking at him.

"You, you are..."

Old Sun was stunned and couldn't believe his eyes for a moment.

He rubbed his eyes subconsciously, then opened them again and saw the man still standing there. He smiled at him and said, "It's me."

"what!"

Old Sun screamed and almost fell to the ground.

"You, you, your child is not dead?"

Old Sun ran out quickly and dragged Chen Tang into the house. He looked around and after seeing no one else, he took Chen Tang to the inner room.

"what happened?"

Chen Tang asked.

Old Sun said, "Why don't you hide quickly? Why are you running out like this?"

"How did Uncle Sun know that I was dead?"

Chen Tang looked calm and asked with a smile.

"About two years ago."

Old Sun said, "Many people came to Changze County and posted notices about you everywhere, saying that you were a traitor to the court, guilty of ten crimes, and that they would exterminate your entire clan. But after an investigation, they found that all your family members had died long ago."

"That group of people tore down your house and turned it upside down."

Chen Tang understood.

Old Sun said to himself, "During that time, everyone in Changze County was in danger. Everyone was nervous, fearing that they would be implicated."

"Kid, I used to praise you to everyone I met. You were a high-ranking official in Wu'an County and became a member of the Azure Dragon Guard. You made a huge mistake to end up like this. Sigh."
