Chapter 115: Searching for Evidence

Translator: 549690339

The first person to test his aptitude was the first elder, Chen Xuan.

Just as everyone had guessed, Chen Xuan’s aptitude was Rank-8. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to break through to Meridian Opening.

After Chen Xuan finished testing his own aptitude, the remaining clansmen tested their aptitude one after another.

This test lasted for half a day.

After all the clansmen had finished the test, Chen Xuan placed the results in front of Chen Yang.”

“There are four people with eighth grade aptitude. They are me, the third elder, the sixth elder, and the fourth elder’s daughter, Chen Meng.”

“The rest of the clansmen are basically ninth grade aptitude.”

Yang Chen was not surprised by this result. Although the Chen family was a martial arts aristocratic family and basically everyone could cultivate, they were only at Rank-9 after all. Their foundation was too low, and the possibility of having a talent above Rank-8 was too small.

“I just don’t know what kind of talent that brat, Old Ten, has.”Yang Chen smiled.

Speaking of Chen Xiao, a smile appeared on Chen Yang’s face. Chen Xiao had not even left the clan for a year, but his cultivation had already reached the sixth level of Qi Refinement.

One had to know that he was only sixteen years old. To have such cultivation, his aptitude was probably at least at the seventh grade.

When Chen Xuan heard this, he smiled and said,”Chen Xiao, that kid, is indeed hardworking. 1 heard that he has already made quite a name for himself in the Demon Slayer Hall.””

“Since Chen Xiao has done well, the clan should also express their gratitude. In this way, he would find a demon beast that could grow to the peak of the demon general stage and reward it to Chen Xiao.”Yang Chen said.

“Understood.” Chen Xuan understood.

“As for Third Elder and Sixth Elder, from today onwards, remove them from their duties and let them focus on breaking through to Meridian Opening.”

“It’s time for the Chen Family to make preparations to become an Eighth-rank Aristocratic Family.”

Song City.

After five days of traveling, Chen Xuan and Chen Ying finally arrived at Song City.

When they arrived at Song City, the two of them did not rush to take action. Instead, they found a teahouse and began to plan.

“Brother Ying, do you know what’s special about that group of people, especially their voices?”Chen Xuan asked.

Chen Ying thought for a moment and then said,”I’ve seen the butler a few times. If there’s anything special, the butler’s voice seems a little strange.”” “Strange?” Chen Xuan frowned.” Can you tell me in detail? How is it strange?”” “You might not believe me, but his voice is a little sharp and hoarse, and at the same time, there’s a hint of gloominess.”Chen Ying said.

Chen Xuan was stunned. This was a sound that could be made by a human.

“Actually, the butler’s voice is quite distinguishable. You can clearly feel that it’s not a voice that a human can make.”Chen Ying added.

” Good heavens, this is really not a voice that a human can make.” Chen Xuan pursed his lips.” I’ll try.””

Immediately, Chen Xuan slowly closed his eyes. The spiritual energy in his body surged and activated his bloodline.

At the same time, voices entered Chen Xuan’s ears.

Seeing Chen Xuan’s appearance, Chen Ying clicked his tongue in wonder. Such a strange bloodline, he was born to be a spy.

It seemed that this Chen family was really full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons.

If the Chen Family could really kill the Song Family, then he could truly submit to the Chen Family. After all, the potential of the Chen Family had already emerged.

If he submitted to the Chen family now, he would be able to reap many benefits when the Chen family soared in the future.

Just as Chen Ying was thinking about whether he had truly submitted to the Chen family, Chen Xuan had also completed his search.

Unfortunately, he did not find the voice that Chen Ying had mentioned.

Seeing this, Chen Ying knew that Chen Xuan had not found anything. He immediately said,””Brother Xuan, your method is wrong.”

“Why is the butler here? Naturally, it’s to contact the Song family. We’ve been eavesdropping on the Song family’s residence to find traces of the butler.” “That makes sense.” Chen Xuan pondered for a moment and realized that it was indeed the case.

Chen Xuan immediately stood up and left.

“What are you doing? Don’t be anxious. If we rush over now, we’ll be discovered. Sit down and drink some tea first.”

After stopping Chen Xuan, Chen Ying said resentfully,””Look at you. You’re such a good person, but why are you so reckless?”

“Looks like I’ll have to train you properly after we return. I’ll let you see how a real spy works.”

Chen Xuan scratched his head awkwardly.” Yes, yes, yes, Brother Ying.””

“How about this? We’ll first investigate the inn closest to the Chen family and stay there. Then, we’ll split up. You stay in the inn and pay attention to the sounds around the Song family.”

“I’ll go out and see if I can meet the butler.”Chen Ying said.

“Isn’t this too dangerous?” Chen Xuan was a little worried.” If you were discovered, wouldn’t your life be in danger?””

Chen Ying was stunned. This was the first time someone cared about him. He immediately scolded with a smile,”Brat, the dangers I’ve experienced are more than the rice you’ve eaten. Do you need to worry about me?”

“As for that butler, he is a big shot. How could he recognize me?

Now that my cultivation has been sealed, 1 don’t have the aura of their cultivation technique on me, so it’s even harder for me to be discovered.” Hearing Chen Ying’s words, Chen Xuan heaved a sigh of relief and said,””Alright, we’ll split up later.”

After drinking tea, the two of them first found an inn and then acted alone according to their plan.

This investigation lasted for half a month.

Half a month later, Chen Ying caught a glimpse of a figure on the main road leading to the Song family.

He found it!

Chen Ying’s pupils constricted, and his heart raced. Then, he quickly turned around, pretending that he did not see anything, and rushed back to the inn.

When they arrived at the inn, Chen Ying heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he hurriedly entered his room,” Chen Xuan, I’ve found him!””

“Really?” Chen Xuan’s eyes lit up and he circulated the spiritual energy in his body to monitor the movements of the Song family.

“Not here…It’s not here either…”

Beads of sweat dripped from Chen Xuan’s forehead. He did not know how long Prince Ke’s butler would stay. Time was so tight, how could Chen Xuan not be anxious?

“This is…Master Song? Found it!”

While searching for Chen Ying’s voice, Chen Xuan heard a sentence.

Patriarch, they’re here.

Who were they? It must be Prince Ke’s butler.

Immediately, Chen Xuan locked onto this place. As expected, it did not take long for him to hear the voice that Chen Ying had mentioned.

Song family, in the meeting hall.

“Master Song, you should give me an explanation for this.”Prince Ke’s butler said coldly.

Master Song smiled nervously.” Sir, what kind of explanation do you want?”” “Didn’t you say that Chen Cheng only has one Core Formation Realm master? However, my scouts told me that Shadow Thirteen died at the hands of a Core Formation cultivator who had never appeared before.”

“Shouldn’t you give me an explanation for this?”Prince Ke stared at Master Song, and an invisible killing intent enveloped Master Song.

At this moment, Master Song felt as if there was a knife on his back. It was as if the butler would kill him in the next moment.

“This… This… Sir, we don’t know what’s going on either. We’ve investigated for a long time, but we still haven’t found any information about that core formation expert.”

“Trash!” Prince Ke’s butler berated and then said,”Forget it, let’s forget about this matter.”

“From today onwards, 1 won’t blame you, and don’t even think about asking us to kill Yang Chen for you.”

“Yes, yes, yes.” Master Song nodded repeatedly. At this moment, he no longer wanted to kill Chen Yang. It was enough as long as he could keep his life.

“Alright, there’s something 1 need you to do.”As he spoke, the butler handed a piece of yellow paper to A/Iaster Song.

Master Song took the yellow paper, opened it, and glanced at it. Then, he asked curiously,”Why does Milord want these lowly peasants to do something?”

“You don’t need to know that. I’ll tell you, this matter must be kept a secret.

“No matter who it is, even those who came with me, you can’t reveal it. Otherwise, your Song family will be destroyed.”

Sensing the undisguised killing intent from the butler, Master Song was sweating profusely. He nodded frantically.” Don’t worry, my lord. No one else will know about this.””

“Yes, I’ll come and look for you in a year. By then, I hope you have already prepared what 1 want.”

After saying this, Prince Ke turned around and left..
