From a martial arts disciple to a god through countless trials and tribulations

Chapter 86 Marriage-in-law
The sun is as scorching as fire, illuminating the mountains and rivers, and the scorching heat is hard to dissipate.

Chen Xuan's aura was restrained, but it still inevitably affected the environment. The green energy vibrated, making the air cool, and the wilted branches and leaves of grass and trees gradually turned green.

His expression was calm as he asked, "Oh? What do you want to talk to me about?"

A breeze blew, and the young man named Pei's shiny hair was lifted. He was handsome and elegant, dressed in white, and had a graceful demeanor. A faint red light rain flowed around him, and he had the noble air of being born into a wealthy family.

Chen Xuan knew that his background was extraordinary because the mansion where the banquet in Huang Liang's dream was held was the "Pei" Mansion.

In Hedong City, the Pei family is also a thousand-year-old family with profound heritage.

"My name is Pei Yuanyong, Chen Xuan. You are in the mountains and don't know what's happening in the outside world. In fact, you are already very famous."

The young man named Pei Yuanyong, about twenty years old, smiled and paused before continuing:
"Two months ago, you killed Huangliang Meng, and Qinglu Mountain deliberately issued a wanted order, which spread throughout half of Chiya City. Earlier this month, in Peach Blossom Spring, you killed cultivators from both the Cui and Lu families, and your fame began to spread among the various families. A while ago, you even managed to kill a Daozang cultivator, which further increased your fame, and many people paid close attention to you."

The dozen or so people around Pei Yuanyong were all looking at Chen Xuan.

They looked curious because two months ago, when the wanted order was issued at Qinglu Mountain, it was said that Chen Xuan was just a cultivator who had achieved immortality.

But now what he saw with his own eyes was clearly a newly promoted Taoist master.

In just two months, he was promoted from an ordinary person to a Taoist master. This was too exaggerated, and even the most outstanding genius of the Chu State could not do it!
There is only one reasonable explanation, Chen Xuan is a destined person whose identity has not yet been revealed!
Chen Xuan responded, "This is not a good reputation. It seems that there is no place for me in Chu anymore."

He realized that people leave their images behind and wild geese leave their voices behind, and there is no wall that is impenetrable.

Unless, like [Supreme God] Ye Kui, he kills all the knowledgeable monks he meets, otherwise his deeds and identity will definitely be leaked to varying degrees.

Moreover, these thousand-year-old families and sects in the Chu State are intertwined with each other and have formed alliances. Offending one of them means becoming enemies with a large number of forces.

Pei Yuanyong shook his head upon hearing this.
"Yes, yes. There are at least eight ways to solve your dilemma that I can think of."

He looked expectant, and made no secret of his desire to recruit Chen Xuan:

"You can't stay in the Southern Wilds forever... It's not that it's bad to cultivate in the mountains, but if you leave the Southern Wilds, the Chu State will be a much wider world for you."

Emperor Jiang is about to die, the pillars of heaven are collapsing, and many forces are taking action.

The Jiang family wants to continue the dynasty, the Qinghe Cui family hopes to maintain the status quo, and the Hedong Pei family is taking advantage of the situation to rise.

Pei Yuanyong told Chen Xuan that there were some rumors recently that once Shangyang Cave Heaven opened, high-level cultivators would be summoned away, and many forces would take the opportunity to attack him and eliminate the threat in advance... But the Pei family did not want to see the genius fall, so they were ready to protect him.

Chen Xuan said calmly, "I'd like to hear the details."

He was not worried about danger. Practicing in the Daozang realm was an endless road of killing.

However, the ghosts of the Southern Wasteland were not getting along well with him, leaving him no room to show his skills. After digesting the true skills in his mind, he would definitely go out and fight. There was nothing wrong with establishing a good relationship with the Chu family at this moment.

Pei Yuanyong raised his hand and ordered the guards and attendants to stay away, then whispered;
"There is a cousin at home, beautiful and kind, only sixteen years old, and still unmarried."

As he spoke, he looked at Chen Xuan with an admiring gaze and praised him, "You are a man of dignified appearance and extraordinary character. You are also a man of outstanding character... My cousin has seen your portrait and is very satisfied."

In the world of Qi training, when aristocratic families encounter wild cultivators with outstanding talents, most of them use this method to win them over.

Chen Xuan was stunned: "Marry a husband? You want me to marry into your family?"

In the past, Chu Huogun had said that he had great talent, but came from a humble background. In the future, the best shortcut to success would be to find an opportunity to marry into a noble lady's family.

At this moment, these words became reality, and a thousand-year-old family really extended an olive branch, hoping to marry him!
Pei Yuanyong nodded, then said with regret, "Yes, you can only marry into the family. When the Cui and Lu families see our Pei family's determination to protect us, they will let you go... Chen Xuan, from now on, you should change your surname to Pei Xuan."

As he spoke, he pulled out a wooden box from his sleeve and said solemnly, "This is a betrothal gift. It's very valuable. Please accept it!"

The wooden box was carved from the branches of a precious tree on land and emitted a hazy white light, but at this moment, it could only be a carrier of the betrothal gift.

Pei Yuanyong told Chen Xuan that the betrothal gift was the precious blood of a top-level powerful person's divine body. If a Taoist monk in the Daozang realm consumes it, the level of the Taoistzang in the human body will increase dramatically.

"??"

Chen Xuan's face darkened, his eyes fixed on the wooden box, and he said in a deep voice: "Pei Yuanyong, are you humiliating me?"

He was unhappy.

Decades later in the capital of the Chu State, Pei Yuanyong still had to accompany the guests and toast them humbly!

But now, the other party looked down on him and used such a shameful idea as marrying into the family to recruit him, even asking him to change his surname to Pei? His attitude was condescending, and his words were quite unpleasant to the ear, like alms, which was unbearable.

Go against Tiangang!

"Roar!" Seeing this at the gate of the yard, Tiger Da with a Knife on his Back immediately glared with his eyes, roared with his bloody mouth, and showed an extremely ferocious expression to Pei Yuanyong.

"Moo!"

The four-tusked baby elephant had angry eyes and swung its trunk. Its tusks shone with golden-white light and it pawed its hooves, ready to launch a brutal charge.

"It has nothing to do with you, so stop barking and yelling!"

Pei Yuanyong shouted with an unhappy look on his face. He did not ask to see the big ghost of the Southern Wilderness, so there was no need to give face to the little ghosts.

Chen Xuan's face was very cold, and he scolded: "Shut up, don't say anything more, leave quickly, the Southern Wilderness does not welcome you!"

He is young and very tough, and he disdains to take shortcuts.

Pei Yuanyong, dressed in white as white as snow, said with a serious face, "My cousin is extremely talented and has a beauty that is one in a million. She has rejected many young men from prominent families who have offered her hand in marriage. You will not be disappointed if you marry her!"

He didn't understand why Chen Xuan refused such a great opportunity.

Chen Xuan laughed in anger and clenched his fists: "Okay, okay, you still want to make trouble, right?"

When I first learned martial arts in Liuzhen, Master Yang had the same thought in mind, bringing it up several times. If he hadn't considered our friendship, he would have turned against me long ago. Now that I've encountered this kind of thing again, there's no need to endure it any longer.

Pei Yuanyong frowned, his palm still holding the wooden betrothal gift box, and said coldly, "Without the Pei family's protection, if a war breaks out, you will surely perish without a burial place. Such a simple truth, don't you understand? You are so foolish! Do you also want to become the enemy of my Pei family?"

He questioned this, believing that Chen Xuan had nowhere else to go and that his only chance of survival was to join the Pei family.

"You keep spouting nonsense again and again. Just shut up!"

Chen Xuan was furious, and his five fingers shot out like lightning, grabbing Pei Yuanyong's wrist.

"You still dare to attack me? How arrogant! I was already a Daozang when I was just over ten years old!"

Pei Yuanyong's face turned cold, because Chen Xuan had just been promoted to Daozang, and he couldn't even completely restrain his aura. Yet he dared to take the initiative to attack him, a veteran Daozang. What he was thinking was out of place!
"Crack!"

The next moment, his face changed and he felt a piercing pain in his wrist. He struggled hard, but Chen Xuan's palm was like a pair of iron pliers and did not move at all.

"I'm targeting geniuses like you!"

Chen Xuan exerted force with his five fingers, unleashing a burst of strength of nearly 90,000 pounds, squeezing Pei Yuanyong's wrist so hard that it cracked and the bone was about to break.

"what!"

Pei Yuanyong's face was distorted and he screamed. He was well-educated and always maintained his composure, but at this moment he screamed in agony and looked miserable because it was so painful.

"Roar!"

Not far away, Tiger with a knife on his back leaped up and punched Pei Yuanyong in the face with all his strength. His arm muscles were exaggerated: "You are trying to poach me in front of me, you want to die!"

He had long disliked this group of people. He was just scolded by Pei Yuanyong and was full of anger. When he saw Chen Xuan taking action, he immediately followed suit.

"Moo! Hit you!"

The four-tusked little elephant rushed forward and used its tusks to hit Pei Yuanyong's side leg. Although a little ghost like him in the Yuhua realm could not cause any effective damage to the Taoist monk, this move undoubtedly showed his attitude.

"Too deceiving!"

Pei Yuanyong was attacked from three sides and immediately launched a counterattack. With a bang, a huge aura surged out of his body and red light flowed all over his body.

This is the power of the virtue of fire. Half of the sky instantly turned red, and a power that was completely different from the Taoist Canon of the [鸓鸟真经] was about to be activated.

"Wow!"

Chen Xuan would not give him any chance to explode. He burst out with tremendous strength in his arms, swung Pei Yuanyong's body and threw him fifty or sixty meters away. With a splash, he fell into the lake, stirring up huge waves several meters high.

"Bang!"

The wooden box containing the betrothal gift fell and landed at Chen Xuan's feet.

The lake was bottomless and freezing cold. Pei Yuanyong's anger was extinguished by the rushing lake water. He was in a very miserable state, lost his balance, and gulped down several mouthfuls of lake water.

"A small punishment, a big warning!"

Chen Xuan stood by the lake, his hands on his hips, and said loudly, "I'll take the things as compensation for your rude words!"
