Chapter 9: Divine Beast Xuanwu

  A brand new day, highly recommended

  ……

  The two sides stood still for a moment, and Hu Lingping hurried forward with a smile: "I think you must have misunderstood, when my Miao'er comes back, I will take him to explain to your father."

  "There's nothing more to explain, someone saw it with their own eyes at the entrance of Xiaodongtian, Chen Mo was tightly hugging Young Master and was sucked into the blood-colored vortex together. My family's old master has been heartbroken and is lying in bed now. Your Chen Mo, don't even think about coming back." Xu Hao stood in front of everyone, with a look of disdain, sneering as he spoke.

  For him, Chen Ye's death was a good thing. As the half-disciple of the old master, he could not only turn his status to official but also obtain the superior cultivation resources and profound martial arts of the Chen family.

  But for this family, it was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue.

  Hu Lingping's face suddenly changed, and she felt numbness in her limbs, weakness throughout her body, and even breathing became difficult. She covered her eyes with her hand and retreated a few steps back, leaning against the doorpost. For this woman, it had only been two years since her husband passed away, and last year her son broke his leg; she couldn't imagine what unexpected event could have happened to her nephew.

  "Mei'er..." She weakly cried out, and tears as big as beans quickly moistened the corners of her eyes. Although he was just a nephew, she had raised him since childhood, like one of her own, and even loved him more than her own son.

  "You're talking nonsense!" Although she knew that her second brother had gone to the Small Sky Cave, He Lian Huo Wu didn't believe his words at all. The flames of anger had already begun to burn in her chest, and she shouted loudly at Xu Hao.

  Although she knew he was a Lingtu High Boundary, she showed no fear. She took a step forward, her slender arm gathering mysterious energy, and a fierce flame ignited in the palm of her hand, ready to strike Xu Hao, but unexpectedly, she was tightly held back by Chen Hua, who was sitting in his wheelchair.

  "We already know, please go back." Chen Hao suppressed the sorrow and anger in his heart, his face still calm and indifferent, although disabled, his younger brother and sister were still young, so this family still had to be borne by himself.

  "Go back? You useless people, our young master was killed by your Chen Mo, you'd better get out of this family quickly." Xu Hao sneered, he really didn't care about these people in the small family. What he cared most about was being able to make a meritorious deed in front of the old master and gain his favor, after which he could rise through the ranks smoothly and rapidly.

  Upon hearing these words, Chen Huan remained as calm as water, his tranquil face not showing a single ripple, only the man's endurance and determination. During this period of injury, the originally spirited and elegant young talent, who was now sitting in a wheelchair, had tasted all sorts of cold ridicule and hot mockery, and his heart had long since become mature and stable.

  Fortunately, my second brother and little sister have been silently contributing to this family, trying every means to make themselves stand up again. Whether it is for the sake of this family or their own efforts, I must stand up again and revive this small home.

  "If the family elders unanimously decide to exile my household, we will obey, so please go back." Chen Hao was neither arrogant nor humble, his tone still calm and unhurried. The mental torture of these many days had made this once gifted young man unusually steady, every word revealing the demeanor of a seasoned elder who had gone through trials and tribulations.

  Indeed, after his father's death, he has paid too much for this family. Especially the second brother Chen Mo, in order to let him have fair cultivation resources, he did not hesitate to offend the family elders, but unfortunately now both legs are disabled, and the small family is facing the humiliation of these underlings again.

  "No need to bother the elders, you can leave now. Oh right, I forgot that you're a useless person and can't walk, so let's have all these people come and carry you away." Seeing the person in the wheelchair still not showing any anxiety or impatience, Xu Hao also lost his patience, and with a wave of his hand, those outsiders rushed forward...

  ……

  At the same time, in a small sky that was broken and almost collapsed.

  A strong gust of wind blew, lifting the quiet and green silk on his temples. After several tosses, his brocade clothes were torn into strips. They couldn't cover his somewhat thin body, and the wounds on his exposed limbs appeared and disappeared under his tattered clothes as the wind blew. He looked up at the huge turtle head in front of him, listened to its words, and was shocked and suspicious in his heart. Had he smelled the scent of the seed of light? Was it the tender branch in his own sea of consciousness that had aroused the greed of this giant turtle?

  "Hey there, don't be nervous." The giant turtle, seeing his uncertain expression, chuckled and said: "I am the divine beast Xuanwu Turtle, I mean no harm to you and won't snatch your seed of light. In fact, I've been sleeping for so many years, guarding this place, waiting just for you."

  Although unintentional, the sound still shook Chen Mo into covering his ears, sitting on a bluestone edge with his legs crossed, his fingers overlapping in front of his abdomen, and the mysterious energy inside him gradually gathering, slowly dispersing through his meridians. Green light dots floated on his skin from time to time, seeing his tightly furrowed brow slowly relax, exhaling a mouthful of stagnant air, his tender but strong face relaxed a lot.

  But at this time, he was shocked to the extreme. The divine beast Xuan Gui? Hmm? Although I haven't heard of the so-called Xuan Gui, a turtle that is so huge, claims to be the master, and can speak, it's indeed unheard of. Could it be that this is really a divine beast? Even if it was just a glance, it could suppress him from moving, and he couldn't muster up any resistance in his heart.

  The black turtle seemed to understand something, and with a pleased expression, it blinked its deep, dark, shiny eyes.

  "What are you waiting for me to do? Are you seeking something from me?" Chen Mo asked with a probing tone of suspicion.

  "Hah, hah……" Chen Mo's words made the Black Turtle burst out laughing. Perhaps it had been too long since he last laughed, and his pent-up emotions were finally being released. He swung his turtle head back and forth with a carefree air, causing the rocks on the nearby mountain to tumble down in all directions.

  The wolf dodged back and forth, avoiding the falling rocks with obvious difficulty. Only when its laughter finally stopped did it say: "Young one, do you know your own ancestry and bloodline?"

  Chen Mo felt a surge of power, but he was quick-witted and heard the old turtle's words, steadied his footsteps, and thought to himself: "Could this old turtle know its own origins, having two lifetimes of memories, and the seed of light has already sprouted, perhaps..."

  "Seemingly thinking of something, yet doubting and asking in return: 'You, who are you after all?'"

  "I was originally the Bright Divine King's dark knight, but because I received his instructions a million years ago, I have been waiting here for the descendants of the divine tribe." The Dark Turtle said, mentioning the Bright Divine King with great reverence, closing his eyes, then gazing at Chen Mo. It seemed like he was testing his wisdom, waiting for an answer.

  In the sea of consciousness, a tender bud on the neck lifted its branches and leaves, slightly trembling with joy, as if it had never experienced such spirit before. Chen Mo couldn't help but feel some certainty that it was definitely the tender branch in his own sea of consciousness that made the Black Turtle think he was a descendant of the Radiant God Tribe.

  No matter how flowery the other person's words were, he still had some guard in his heart, lest he be deceived. He immediately asked, "You are a divine turtle of the Shen clan, what do you have to do with me?"

  "Of course, it does." As soon as the words were spoken, the mysterious turtle gazed at him with its large eyes and suddenly emitted two blue light threads as thin as silk. The two lights shot straight towards Chen Mo, and before he could react, the blue lights poured into his brow like two hot streams.
