After searching for a while, Chen Huo found no information about the history of the Chen family, but a secret manual caught his attention.

The manual is old, the paper is even a bit blurry, indicating that it has been passed down through generations.

The words "Chen Family Unique Skill" were written on the top of the paper, with the characters "dragon and snake shaking".

Chen Huo couldn't help but become interested and picked it up to look through it.

Mad Dragon Palm.

Collapsing Sea Fist.

Wind and Thunder Steps.

It encompasses palm techniques, fist techniques, and footwork, making it effective in both offense and defense.

Chen Huo became interested. He had only recently entered the Emperor Realm and did not yet have any suitable moves or special skills.

If one could master these three unique skills, it would undoubtedly greatly enhance one's combat power.

They immediately began to study it in detail.

The others were the same; some were studying martial arts manuals that interested them, while others were looking around.

hum!

Without a sound, a cold glint appeared, aimed directly at Chen Huo's heart.

Almost at the same time, Chen Huo twisted his body and struck down with his palm.

A man dressed in tight-fitting clothes and wearing a bamboo hat was instantly blasted away.

Swish swish!

Immediately afterwards, six or seven figures dressed in the same manner leaped out and landed in various places, forming an offensive and defensive formation.

"Who goes there!"

"They actually launched a sneak attack!"

"Damn it, they're trying to steal our stuff..."

Ibrahimovic, Xie, and the others realized what was happening and immediately went on alert.

Xian Yu and Murong Bingyun also retreated to Chen Huo's side, staring intently at the other group of people.

"Young Master Chen, we meet again!" The old man at the head of the group chuckled.

Chen Huo remembered his code name: Jing Ni.

It was indeed the Black Cloud Official!

"Damn it, where did this guy come from?" Xian Yu's pretty face changed.

Logically speaking, since her uncle is already an elder, there should be no force in Miao territory that can threaten them.

"You've come to see me!" Chen Huo said without changing his expression; he had expected the other party to appear. "After holding back for so long, you've finally decided to come out!"

"You don't really think you can make a difference with just a few of you?"

"Young Master Chen, you flatter us too much!" Jing Ni revealed a half-smile. "Ultimately, this is your own family matter!"

"We're just following orders, merely acting as vanguards!"

"Oh? Who else?" Chen Huo raised an eyebrow.

"Hahahaha, so this is the treasure of my Chen family? After planning for so long, one day I have finally seen it!" As soon as the words were spoken, a laugh rang out.

A man wearing a white embroidered robe walked in with his hands behind his back.

Behind him were several men who appeared to be his subordinates.

He seemed like a spoiled young master from a prominent family, with an air of superiority and arrogance.

He first glanced at the treasure before him, then his gaze fell on Chen Huo, a smile playing on his lips. "And you, my little brother whom I've never met before, I've always wanted to meet you, and today my wish has finally come true!"

elder brother?

Xian Yu, Murong Bingyun, and the others were all greatly surprised.

Why did an older brother suddenly appear?

Chen Huo himself was also taken aback.

However, they quickly realized what was happening.

He had previously learned from the Gu King that the Chen family was once a reclusive and powerful family, and he was merely a branch of it.

The other person claimed to be his elder brother, so he must be a member of the Chen family.

"By the way, let me introduce myself. My name is Chen Tianqi, the eldest young master of the Chen family, and also the future successor!" Chen Tianqi continued, "Brother, you've had a tough journey. Don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly!"

"With this treasure, my Chen family will surely rise again!"

"From now on, you'll definitely get your share of the benefits!"

"Sorry, I don't know you well. My parents and older brother are all dead. I have no other relatives!" Chen Huo said calmly.

"You're such a cold-hearted kid! We may not have the same parents, but we're still cousins, we're blood relatives!" Chen Tianqi pointed at him. "I understand, it's normal to not have an emotional connection since it's our first meeting. We'll get to know each other better as we get to know each other!"

"So, you secretly orchestrated everything from using witchcraft on my people to luring me into Miao territory and opening the treasure chest?" Chen Huo asked, staring at the other party.

"That's right!" Chen Tianqi nodded. "I planned it!"

"Everything needs a reason!"

"And what about five years ago?" Chen Huo's gaze suddenly turned cold. "Five years ago, I was framed and imprisoned. Were you the mastermind behind it all?!"

"Well..." Chen Tianqi hesitated slightly, then smiled, "Indeed, I've wanted to get my hands on the treasure for a long time!"

"However, the gate to the treasure is restricted; only those who have inherited the Chen family's supreme Yang physique can open it!"

"To be honest, I never expected that your Jiangcheng lineage would produce someone with such a 'pure Yang' physique. We're quite envious!"

"Don't give me that nonsense!" Chen Huo's tone instantly filled with murderous intent.

He always believed that what happened five years ago was the work of the Chen family's enemies.

But to everyone's surprise, it was actually done by their so-called clansmen.

This led to his imprisonment and the destruction of his family.

Now, they stand before me, chatting and laughing as if nothing had happened.

How ridiculous!

"Brother, don't get agitated!" Chen Tianqi saw through his ruse. "Back then, I only wanted to borrow your supreme yang body to open the treasure, nothing more!"

"As for framing you and the death of your loved ones, that was the result of a power struggle between the two sides!"

"I can only express my regret!"

"What do you mean?" Chen Huo asked in a deep voice.

"Because there's another force eyeing you!" Chen Tianqi explained, "Your innate yang physique is one in a million, a truly exceptional talent even in the world of martial arts!"

"And coincidentally, your exceptionally yang constitution plays a crucial role against that force!"

"They want to kidnap you and then steal your virile yang energy!"

"And then?" Chen Huo frowned.

Unexpectedly, things had an even more complicated side.

No wonder that during the previous investigation, not only did they find out about the Black Cloud Official, but they also learned another clue from the old Earth Immortal of the Earth Immortal Society.

It turns out that two forces were involved.

"Are you kidding? You're a member of the Chen family. The treasure the Chen family left in Miao territory requires a person with a perfect Yang body to unlock it. How can we just sit idly by?" Chen Tianqi said. "They want to take your perfect Yang body, and of course we won't allow it. We were planning to fight them off to snatch you, but then something unexpected happened!"

"You were framed and convicted of a serious crime. Logically, you should be imprisoned. We'll take you away then!"

"As a result, without our knowledge, you were transferred to a women's prison and placed under someone else's protection, leaving neither of us able to intervene!"

"This wait lasted five years! Only after you emerged were I able to arrange the opening of the treasure!"
