Chen Huo didn't need to worry about delaying his trip.

Since "Nine Flashes of Instant Shadow" is a movement-based martial art, it's perfect for practicing while traveling, although it can be a bit rudimentary when you first start learning it.

Fortunately, Chen Huo was exceptionally talented and quickly mastered the techniques, becoming faster and faster, like an agile cheetah darting through the forest.

the other direction.

Zhu Yanzhou was hurrying towards the small courtyard.

Even before the person arrived, a strong smell of blood could be smelled from afar.

Zhu Yanzhou's heart sank.

Has Chen Huo already been killed?

pity!

What a pity!

Zhu Yanzhou sighed inwardly.

He knew exactly what Zhu Junchen was planning.

He was well aware that the medicinal herbs had been delivered today and that Chen Huo was about to refine pills. Knowing that Chen Huo might not live past today, he rushed over.

He has deeply reflected on himself since yesterday and believes that his mindset is different from before. Taking advantage of this last opportunity, he wants to find Chen Huo to verify something.

But it was too late.

"Chen Huo, oh Chen Huo, though you possess astonishing talent and a peerless physique rarely seen in the world, you cannot escape the cruelty of fate. How pitiful and lamentable!"

While pondering, Zhu Yanzhou arrived at the small courtyard.

The scene that greeted him, however, horrified him.

Zhu Yong was lying on the grass with a large hole in his chest. Blood had flowed all over the ground and turned black. Two wild dogs, which seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, were gnawing on the corpse.

"roll!"

Zhu Yanzhou let out a loud shout, and his aura exploded forth.

The two stray dogs sensed danger, tucked their tails between their legs, and whimpered as they fled.

"Uncle!"

"Uncle?"

Zhu Yanzhou shouted loudly, a very bad premonition in his heart.

If Zhu Junchen were here, how could Zhu Yong have been murdered and had his body eaten by wild dogs? Something must have happened that even Zhu Junchen couldn't take care of himself.

But how many people in this world can make Zhu Junchen act like this?

Could it be the old scourge?

Zhu Yanzhou glanced at the traces of the fight left at the scene, which were not particularly intense, and strode towards the wooden house, shouting Chen Huo's name at the same time.

"Chen Huo?"

"Chen Huo!"

No one answered.

Zhu Yanzhou pushed the door open, only to find it empty.

Could it be... that something happened to Chen Huo and his uncle together?

Zhu Yanzhou was startled.

He forced himself to calm down, quickly walked out of the cabin and carefully examined the traces left at the scene. He soon discovered that the footprints of the two people led into the dense forest in the distance.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhu Yanzhou followed the trail with doubt and unease, and soon found Zhu Junchen's body, which was also being eaten by two wild dogs.

"die!"

Zhu Yanzhou was both shocked and furious. He threw a punch that smashed the two wild dogs into pieces. He quickly went forward to check the body and saw that Zhu Junchen's entire chest had caved in.

"Who...who did this?!"

Zhu Yanzhou found it hard to believe.

Zhu Junchen was a sixth-level Emperor Realm expert. Although he was not invincible, he was hard to beat. How could he have died so tragically?

It couldn't possibly be Chen Huogan's, could it?

But if it wasn't Chen Huo, why were there only two people's tracks along the way, and no traces of anyone else left in the courtyard? The expert who could so brutally kill Zhu Junchen was no ordinary person, so there was no need for him to hide his whereabouts, right?

This is a mountain forest.

So what if it leaves a trace?

Once you leave here and enter the city, there will be no trace of you left.

The more Zhu Yanzhou thought about it, the more he felt it was a long-standing problem.

But the problem is.

How could Chen Huo possibly have the strength to kill Zhu Junchen?

It will probably be more like it in another ten or twenty years.

For a moment, Zhu Yanzhou couldn't understand it at all.

But now is not the time to think about these things.

The most important thing now is to give Zhu Junchen and Zhu Yong a proper burial.

"Uncle!"

"Brother Yong!"

"I will definitely avenge you in the future!"

"Whoever killed you, I will not let them get away with it!"

Zhu Yanzhou gritted his teeth and said a few words, then picked up Zhu Junchen's body and walked towards the courtyard, where he planned to bury the two of them.

After taking two steps, Zhu Yanzhou stopped again and frowned.

"No! We have to warn our family to go home!"

thump.

Zhu Yanzhou left Zhu Junchen's body and took out his phone.

Regardless of who made the move, Chen Huo has definitely escaped.

Once they leave this place, they will surely seek revenge against the Zhu family.

He knows the situation outside. The authorities and the Goddess Pavilion are looking for the person who kidnapped Chen Huo, and have said that if they find him, they will not let him off easily.

The Wu family, who had previously provoked Chen, were almost wiped out.

He had no choice but to be afraid.

After quickly reporting the situation and instructing his clansmen to hide, Zhu Yanzhou picked up Zhu Junchen's body and carried it to the courtyard. He then hastily buried the two bodies and ran away.

He feared that Chen Huo might return, or that the person who rescued Chen Huo might come back.

With his current strength, he is no match for him at all.

He was now like a stray dog, not knowing where to go, and could only look up at the sky and sigh.

"Uncle, are you confused!"

"Of all people to mess with, why did they have to provoke that murderous Chen Huo!"

Zhu Yanzhou sighed and left in the opposite direction from where Chen Huo had gone.

……

For Chen Huo, killing Zhu Junchen was a trivial matter. Now was not the time to think about how to take revenge on the Zhu family. At this moment, his mind was focused on the Zhu family's martial arts techniques.

The surprise brought by "Nine Flashes of Instant Shadow" was even greater than he had imagined. He has now fully mastered it, and his speed has increased by a full ten percent.

Don't underestimate this one percent speed.

In real combat, if you encounter a master of the same level, you can use this 10% speed advantage to overwhelm your opponent and leave them with no chance to fight back.

About an hour later, Chen Huo stopped.

After a long period of intense training, coupled with not having eaten lunch, he was feeling thirsty and slightly tired, and needed to rest for a while.

He surveyed the surrounding dense forest, finding no signs of human activity, and his brows furrowed deeply.

Even now, he still doesn't know where he is.

I don't know how much longer it will take to get out of this dense forest.

It's getting late. If we can't get out of the mountains before dark, we'll have to spend the night in the wilderness. Chen Huo isn't afraid, but he doesn't want his master and the others to worry. He wants to let them know he's safe as soon as possible.

"We can only continue in this direction."

Chen Huo had no choice but to rest for a while before setting off again.

Just then, a rustling sound came from the hillside not far away. Chen Huo immediately became alert. This place was high in the mountains and dense in the forest. Could it be that a wild beast was lurking there?

He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a pretty face appear among the grass and trees.

Then a pleasant and melodious sound rang out.

"How come there's someone here?"

"How did you end up here?"

As they were talking, a pretty young girl wearing loose floral trousers and a top, with a thick braid and carrying a bamboo basket, walked out of the dense forest and looked at Chen Huo with surprise, asking him a question.

Finally, I've encountered a living person.

Chen Huo was overjoyed and hurried over to greet him.

"Excuse me, miss, could I borrow your phone for a moment? I'm lost and want to let my family know I'm safe."

"no."

The young woman sized Chen Huo up and down, then asked warily, "Judging from your clothes, you don't seem like a hiking enthusiast. What brings you here?"
