Chapter 377: Chapter 91: Langya Pavilion

“Ah Jing!”

Murakumo Chikawa stood up, looking concerned.

Shen Che moved directly to Chen Tang’s side, glanced around, and said in a deep voice, “The contest for the top spot in this genius tournament already has a result, there’s no need to continue anymore.”

Shen Che stepped in directly because he was worried that Chen Tang might be targeted and that if things continued to escalate, it would get out of hand.

This person is brazen enough to kill a Mystic Master from Donglai Continent; who knows what else he might do!

Amaterasu Senno also stood up and said, “It’s late today; both the participants and the attendees here should go back and rest.”

He originally planned to find a way to win over Murong Haitang.

But just now, after Chen Tang killed Yang Ying’er, he temporarily dismissed that idea.

Yang Ying’er was the personal disciple of Yu Ming True Master; with her death, Yu Ming True Master would not let it slide.

If he attracted this person under his command, it would only be inviting trouble, and the cost would outweigh the benefit!

Yu Ming True Master, expressionless, slowly stood up, only gave a cold glance at Chen Tang, instructed his people to take Yang Ying’er’s body away, and then left the venue with the people of Donglai Continent.

Yang Ying’er’s death was completely unexpected for him.

Recently he realized Yang Ying’er might lose, but never expected Chen Tang to be so ruthless, directly delivering a fatal blow, with no consideration for Donglai Continent’s reputation!

After all, from start to finish, Chen Tang sparred with all the Martial Artists with great restraint.

Moreover, Yang Ying’er was a Mystic Master, his disciple.

Who dared to harm her?

So, Yu Ming True Master did not intervene to stop it.

When Yang Ying’er was struck by Chen Tang’s punch, it was too late for him to act.

Amaterasu Chizuru stared blankly at this scene, her mind in chaos.

Just now, she was still complaining in her heart, thinking Murong Haitang was brutish and had no control over his actions.

It wasn’t until this moment that she realized Murong Haitang had indeed held back against her.

If he had attacked with full force, without reservation, she would have ended up like Yang Ying’er, just a corpse!

“This Murong Haitang is too strong; even the most outstanding heirs of the three great families over these hundred years couldn’t withstand him.”

“I want to go to the Shen Family to practice martial arts.”

“Yes, I originally wanted to choose among the Three Nations, but now it seems, I want to go to Chuansi Country too. I wonder if there’s a chance to learn the Tiger Subduing Fist.”

As people began to leave the venue, there was much discussion.

With the departure of the Donglai Continent people, the Congyun Race also gradually exited the stage.

Among the crowd, Feng Boyi watched Chen Tang for a moment before leaving with the Congyun Race.

In the shadows of various corners of the venue, a pair of cold eyes also fell on Chen Tang, with a hint of scrutiny.

“Chizuru, let’s go.”

Amaterasu Senno called softly.

Amaterasu Chizuru seemed not to hear, as if she had lost her soul, just staring blankly at Chen Tang in the distance.

“Chizuru, what’s wrong?”

Amaterasu Senno patted his granddaughter’s shoulder, concernedly asking.

Amaterasu Chizuru trembled all over, came back to her senses, and without knowing what she had just thought of, she looked a little flustered, her gaze evasive, not daring to meet Amaterasu Senno’s eyes.

“No, nothing.”

Amaterasu Chizuru mumbled a phrase, and said, “Grandfather, let’s go.”

In no time, various factions started leaving the venue, and the remaining people gradually diminished, making the place increasingly desolate.

“Let’s go.”

Shen Che also said to Chen Tang.

Chen Tang asked, “How did I perform in the genius tournament?”

Shen Che kept silent, and walked on without a word.

Chen Tang cleared his throat lightly and asked again, “Military Lord, when will we be able to board the ship and sail out to sea?”

“We leave tonight, immediately!”

Shen Che replied.

“Thank you, Military Lord.”

Chen Tang cupped his hands in thanks.

It was truly a perfect match.

With such a large commotion here, he also wanted to leave Celestial Cauldron Continent as soon as possible.

Although he changed his appearance, did a disguise, if someone paid more attention and thought about it carefully, they would surely suspect his origin and identity.

After all, the sudden emergence of such a Fifth Grade expert from the Shen Clan.

Moreover, he was accompanied back by Shen Yu on a ship.

Just a check on his identity and whereabouts would reveal the clues.

The longer he stayed here, the easier it was for his identity to be exposed, and the more dangerous it became!

Judging from Shen Che’s attitude, he also clearly wanted to get rid of this hot potato as soon as possible.

Besides the crisis from the Hermits, he had just killed a Mystic Master.

Fear is that Donglai Continent would not let it slide either.

This Mystic Master was closely related to Murakumo Kyo, with North Sea Country depending on support from Donglai Continent, the Congyun Race would not sit idly by.

And the Moonlit Night Race…

Escaping quickly is the priority now.

“We’re leaving tonight.”

Shen Yu didn’t think too much about it, he just felt a bit reluctant.

Chen Tang smiled and said, “We will meet again if fate allows.”

“It’s best not to meet!”

Shen Che thought to himself and instructed the clan members to take Shen Yu back to Chuansi Palace.

He then took Chen Tang and Ye Yushi, winding through several alleys, and slipped into a seemingly ordinary house.

Someone was already there to meet them, opened the door to let the three in, glanced around, and then closed the door, creating a rather mysterious atmosphere.

“Military Lord.”

The person bowed in salute.

Shen Che nodded slightly and led Chen Tang and Ye Yushi into the inner hall.

Chen Tang’s Flood Dragon Bow, the Fine Iron Arrows, Ye Yushi’s Night Rain Sword, and Jade Flute were all placed here.

Chen Tang slung the Flood Dragon Bow on his back, secured the quiver, while Ye Yushi picked up the Sword Flute.

Over on Shen Che’s side, he had already lifted the bedboard beneath the bedding, triggering a mechanism that revealed a secret passage below whose destination was unknown.

“Let’s go.”

Shen Che said, leading the way into the secret passage.

Chen Tang and Ye Yushi followed closely behind him.

In the tunnel, every ten steps or so, there was a candle flame on the walls beside them.

“Where are we going?”

Chen Tang asked.

“To the western port of the city.”

Shen Che replied, “There’s a ship prepared there. Once you board, head down the Celestial Pot River, and within half a day, you’ll reach the East Sea.”

“Old Lu is the captain; he frequently travels between Divine Land and the sea and is very experienced. He will definitely get you back to Divine Land safely.”

Chen Tang’s heart was stirred.

Listening to Shen Che, it seemed the Shen Family had ships traveling between Divine Land, and not just once or twice.

As they walked, Shen Che asked, “Divine Land is divided into north and south. Do you intend to go north or south?”

“To Nanxia.”

Chen Tang and Ye Yushi exchanged a glance.

This time, Ye Yushi definitely had to return to Nanxia.

As for him, he was being pursued by both the Court and Profound Celestial Sect in Beiqian, making it untenable to stay. He had to head to Nanxia to lay low.

“That’s just right then.”

Shen Che said something enigmatic.

Chen Tang waited a while, but the latter part never came.

After approximately half an hour of walking, the three reached the end of the secret passage.

There was a simple secret chamber here, with two people standing guard. Upon hearing the commotion, they stood up early, watching with heightened attention.

Seeing it was Shen Che, they both bowed respectfully.

“Bring a pen here.”

Shen Che said.

Someone quickly prepared the pen and ink, placing them on a table.

“Wait here for a moment.”

Shen Che said, then sat at the table, picked up the writing brush, pondered for a moment, and began writing on a letter.

Soon, he finished writing.

Shen Che sealed the letter in an envelope, dripped wax on the sealing point, and took a circular imprint from his robe, pressing it down firmly, securely sealing the letter.

After completing the letter, Shen Che took Chen Tang and the others out of the secret passage and into the courtyard above, where he handed the letter to Chen Tang.

Shen Che said, “When you reach Nanxia, please deliver this letter to the Shen Family. They will recognize the seal and accept the letter.”

Ye Yushi’s expression shifted slightly upon hearing this.

Chen Tang tucked the envelope into his robe.

He already planned to make a name for himself in the Nanxia Jianghu, so delivering a letter along the way was not a big deal.

But he was a bit curious and asked, “Nanxia is so vast; how do I find the Shen Family?”

Surely, he couldn’t just randomly find a Shen Family and deliver the letter, right?

This time, Shen Che was taken aback, asking, “You’ve never heard of the Shen Family in Nanxia?”

Chen Tang shook his head, saying, “I come from Beiqian.”

Ye Yushi asked, “Langya Pavilion’s Shen Clan?”

“That’s right.”

Shen Che nodded.

Ye Yushi was internally surprised and skeptical.

Unexpectedly, the Shen Family on Celestial Cauldron Continent was connected to the Shen Clan of Langya Pavilion in Nanxia.

She suddenly seemed to realize something and asked, “Are you a member of Shen Dun’s branch from years ago?”

Shen Che smiled with a complicated expression, saying, “I didn’t expect that you, being so young, would know these old stories.”

“What story?”

Curiosity got the better of Chen Tang’s gossip-hungry mind, and he asked, “What riddle are you two playing?”

“I’ll tell you later.”

Ye Yushi said, “Let’s get on the ship and leave this place first.”

Shen Che said, “Once you exit this gate, head straight west. At the port, look for a ship with black sails; I won’t see you off.”

After a brief pause, Shen Che looked at Chen Tang and said, “To the best of my knowledge, the situation in Nanxia is chaotic, as deep as the sea. In the Jianghu, sects are numerous, with overt struggles and covert battles. Although your talent is strong, without connections or a network, gaining a foothold in Nanxia is as difficult as ascending to the heavens.”

“I can’t keep you here in Celestial Cauldron Continent, but if you are willing, you could stay and work for the Shen Family in Nanxia; they will certainly appreciate your abilities.”

Chen Tang smiled and said, “Thank you, Military Lord.”

From the tone of Shen Che and Ye Yushi, it seemed the Shen Family in Nanxia had quite the background.

Chen Tang and Ye Yushi left this courtyard.

By the time they left the arena for talent competitions, it was already dark.

Now, the night was deep, and their surroundings were very quiet.

They were quite close to the river, even able to hear the rushing sound of the river water.

The two of them headed west, and before long, they saw a tower ship in the distance—a much smaller ship compared to the cargo ship they took from Hermit Continent back.

As they were about to leave Celestial Cauldron Continent, Chen Tang still had some unresolved doubts.

Ming Yue Wanderer was the person he was most curious about and wanted to meet the most, but he never had the chance.

Of course, perhaps they had already met.

And then there was Ah Li, the Ghost Concealment.

After following them from Hermit Continent and hiding on the ship to Celestial Cauldron Continent, they disappeared and never appeared again.

Chen Tang felt a bit disappointed.

After providing delicious food all the way and finally getting a bit familiar, the person suddenly vanished.

At this moment, Ye Yushi suddenly halted, whispering, “Be careful!”
