Chapter 1187
This moment.
Chen Dong awoke with a jolt.
When he had initially memorised the martial inheritance of the Heavenly Wolf Martial Dao Body, it was still because he had first practiced the Nine Heavens Frightening Dragon Technique and had already mastered the first forty-two Heavenly Wolf Martial Dao Body inheritances.
But at the back, the hurdle of the twelve Martial Dao Body Inheritances made memorising them particularly strenuous for him!
Carelessness this time!
The initial excitement and ecstasy when Elder Zhang found the twelve zodiac signs to carry the martial dao inheritance diluted Chen Dong’s sanity to the extent that it made Chen Dong overlook even this most important hurdle!
Just ……
In a trance of guilt, a strong sense of fear rose up in Chen Dong’s heart.
For the first time, he looked at these martial dao bodies in front of him with a trepidation of being as small as dust.
What secrets are hidden in this martial heritage ……?
A great oppression of terror, even the twelve zodiac signs could not resist this hurdle of the twelfth seat, allowing Elder Zhang to return to his fate after carving just half of them.
If one were to carve out seventy-two Heavenly Wolf Martial Bodies, how much more terrifying would it cost?
In the back, Huo Zhenxiao quickly made arrangements for Elder Zhang’s funeral and settled Zhang Wudao down.
When this was all done.
Huo Zhenxiao then called Chen Dong into the room.
“This matter has nothing to do with you!”
These were the first words that Huo Zhenxiao said after Chen Dong entered the room!
Chen Dong smiled, full of bitterness and said, “If I had opened my eyes a few minutes earlier, old senior might have ……”
“It has nothing to do with you!”
Huo Zhenxiao’s expression was grave, his gaze profound, “The blame lies with the martial heritage of this Heavenly Wolf Martial Dao Body, which is so terrifying that it far exceeds our perception.”
Thinking back to the scene of thunder pressing down on Frontier City just now, Huo Zhenxiao’s heart still palpitated and his scalp tingled.
That kind of ma*sive momentum was wrapped in heavenly wrath and calamity!
A mere human power could not return to the heavens!
Taking a deep breath, Huo Zhenxiao forcibly suppressed the throbbing in his heart and said in a deep voice, “Old Master Vanguard, having left behind these eleven and a half martial bodies for the domain, the future Northern Domain frontier will be even more solid as gold.”
Chen Dong’s gaze flickered for a moment and said, “That half martial dao body, it is better not to release it, eleven is enough, a mere half will take the life of the old senior, I am worried that the martial dao inheritance will also change, releasing it for the soldiers to enlighten will be counterproductive!”
Huo Zhenxiao hesitated for a moment, but eventually nodded his head.
“I’m afraid, and I can only find the Lupan Technique to cast it again.”
“Lupan Technique?”
Chen Dong frowned, puzzled, “Isn’t Lupan Technique a record of the art of carpentry?”
Huo Zhenxiao shook his head and said meaningfully, “I do know something about the Lu Ban Technique, what ordinary people perceive as the Lu Ban Technique is indeed the skill of carpentry, but the Lu Ban Technique is divided into two scrolls, the Yang scroll is the skill and the Yin scroll is the Lu Ban Technique that Old Master Zhang spoke of before he died!”
“Yin scroll?”
Chen Dong was bewildered and looked at Huo Zhenxiao blankly.
“I also confirmed this with Brother Wu Dao just now, and it’s exactly the same as I guessed.”
Huo Zhenxiao waved his hand, “You don’t need to think about this matter first, I only know a rough idea of what is recorded in the Yin Scroll, exactly which of the Yin Scrolls should be used for casting the Martial Dao body, you still have to actually find the Lupin Art!”
The words fell.
A silence fell within the room.
Chen Dong’s gaze flickered as he pondered.
Huo Zhenxiao did likewise.
A long time pa*sed.
Only then did Chen Dong slowly say, “Senior brother, I always feel that as I get stronger and stronger, I am less and less able to recognise the world.”
“A shot of thirty metres, when I was destroying a city by myself, I was also thinking the same as you.”
Huo Zhenxiao shrugged and smiled, “Recognise the world for what? Recognizing yourself and the path beneath your feet is the way to go, and you …… should be ready to go on your own path now!”
“The path?”
Chen Dong murmured, his gaze gradually firming up, “Only three days until my dad’s big birthday, finally overriding ‘qi’ also makes me more certain after three days!”
“Go and rest, Master Zhang and Brother Wu Dao, don’t be distracted, I’ll handle it.”
Huo Zhenxiao said calmly, “I hope you will be glorious and the winner will be the king in three days, otherwise …… you will have to come to the Great Snow Dragon Riding Army to give me a hand.”
Chen Dong smiled and turned to leave.
For a long time.
Only then did Huo Zhenxiao lean back in his chair with a forlorn and mournful face, murmuring, “O Elder Zhang …… your merits, I, Huo Zhenxiao, will protect you from the great prosperity of the Thief Sect!”
Murmured whispers, but powerful.
How could he not know what Elder Zhang’s desperate attempt to forge a Martial Dao body was for?
To trade his life for the Thief Sect, he had to accept such a determination, and he had to accept it!
He rubbed his temples, everything that had happened “tonight” had happened so suddenly that even he had palpitations.
Not to mention the 300,000 Great Snow Dragon Riders in Zhenjiang City.
“Tonight, Zhenjiang City has completely blinded the eyes of the world!”
With a teasing smile, Huo Zhenxiao got up and walked outside.
After such a big incident, the military’s heart was in turmoil within Zhenjiang City, and as a sovereign, at this moment, he had to show up to stabilise the military’s heart.
At the same time, it was not just the matters within Zhenjiang City that had to be dealt with.
The lightning scorched the city, and it was in the eyes of the people of the Northern Region!
The aftermath was incredibly heavy.
After Chen Dong left Huo Zhenxiao’s room, he still had some difficulty in his heart in letting go of Elder Zhang’s death.
Instead of going back to his barracks to rest, he went straight to his training barracks and entered a training state once again.
Only by entering a state of focused training could he suppress the guilt and self-blame he felt towards Old Master Zhang.
Meanwhile, he only had three days left!
Although he had managed to override Qi at the last moment of carving his Martial Dao body, this was only the beginning.
After he had mastered Qi, he still had to make the use of Qi as versatile as possible, just like a new car running on a break-in, it had to be built up little by little.
For Chen Dong, three days were too short!
Every second counts, so that the winner is the king!
Midnight training.
When Chen Dong took a break from his training state, he did not hear the usual morning bugle call.
Perhaps it was because of the incident last night that had exempted Zhenjiang City from today’s morning training?
Meanwhile.
Huo Zhenxiao, who had been busy all night, finally dragged his tired body back to his room.
He was about to lie down and rest for a short while.
A phone call came through.
Huo Zhenxiao rubbed his eyes and when he saw that it was Chen Daoling’s phone, he picked up straight away.
“Sovereign Huo, great news from heaven!”
Huo Zhenxiao frowned, somewhat unsure of what to do.
It was only with Chen Daolin’s words on the phone that Huo Zhenxiao’s heart and soul were instantly lifted and his fatigue swept away.
Over the phone, Chen Daolin said.
“The latest news from the Huns!”
“What?”
Huo Zhenxiao hurriedly pursued the question.
“Last night the sky showed a strange image, I think it was your Zhenjiang City that appeared, right? On the Hun side, the wolf whistled in the sky, the King of the Huns is prince, now the Huns, the whole country mourns and mourns for 300 days!”
“Hahahaha ……”
Huo Zhenxiao threw back his head and laughed out loud, unprecedentedly wanton and unrestrained: “Master Chen, good news, really is the great news of heaven! This generous gift, Zhenxiao will definitely return it!”
Chapter 1188
After hanging up the phone.
Huo Zhenxiao was laughing his head off, his face full of red.
The exhausted look from earlier was swept away.
Excitement, ecstasy, uncontrollable!
For the first time since he took charge of Zhenjiang City and the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry, Huo Zhenxiao was in such a state of mind that he was almost “madly” happy!
The nation mourned and mourned for 300 days!
To Huo Zhenxiao, who had been drowning in worries about the joining of the Hundred Clans, this was like a clearing of the clouds and the sky!
Everything was moving in the direction he had expected, and faster!
National mourning!
Three hundred days!
That meant that for the next three hundred days, the whole country would be in mourning for the death of the Hun king, and everything would be avoided!
From the royal court down to the people, all red and white events were kept to a minimum.
As for the war, it’s a war-free zone!
In other words.
In other words, the mourning of the Xiongnu was a direct attempt to divorce the Xiongnu from the 100 tribes!
Without this symbol of the royal court, the few strong tribes of the Hundred Tribes, and even the power of the subordinate tribes under their command.
Even if the Hundred Clans were to continue to point their swords at Zhenjiang City!
The level of threat would be greatly diminished!
It might even collapse the game of the hundred tribes joining forces!
“Chen Dong, Chen Dong, this first merit of the word “Heaven” is yours!”
Huo Zhenxiao laughed and lamented, “With this merit, you’ll be able to set up the Chen Clan and make the victor the king! The King of Huns died in such a timely manner, even if I grant you this world-wide merit, no one will dare to say anything!”
At the same time, Huo Zhenxiao couldn’t help but tap the tabletop, his heart screaming in approval.
The crisis in Zhenjiang City was on the verge of being lifted!
This caused Huo Zhenxiao’s tense nerves to finally relax at this moment.
He didn’t even think about examining this clue from Chen Daolin!
The Chen family’s merchant fleet was now within the Thirteen Cities of Xiongnu, and no one in the entire domain would know more about the changes than Chen Daoling.
Not to mention.
The national mourning will soon spread throughout the snowy plains outside the domain, and the news will reach Zhenjiang City as well.
……
On the other side.
Chen Dong was completely unaware of the Heaven’s First Gong, the training in the middle of the night.
It made him so exhausted that he returned to his barracks and fell asleep with his head covered.
Meng Dabiao and the others were also careful to try not to disturb Chen Dong.
From the moment they entered the barracks, Meng Dabiao, Sun Kong and Zhou Yao, knew that Chen Dong was not like them!
Terrifyingly strong enough to take the head of an enemy general from a thousand armies, even if he was a big head soldier, he was a big head soldier that was worlds apart from them!
Bai Qi was called over by Huo Zhenxiao early in the morning, and when he returned, he was all smiles.
Huo Zhenxiao had called him there for the matter of Chen Dong’s first merit in the word Heaven!
However, Huo Zhenxiao had strictly ordered him not to tell Chen Dong about the Heavenly Character First Merit for the time being, wanting to use it as a heavy bomb on Chen Daolin’s birthday in three days’ time, to blow up the world’s giants and settle the matter in one blow!
“Chief Bai Qi, why are you smiling like a two-bit fool this early in the morning?”
Meng Dabiao asked Bai Qi curiously.
The long time spent together had also made a stronger bond between several people and less of a separation.
Bai Qi’s smile faltered: “Da Biao, you’re Biao?”
“What?”
Meng Dabiao scratched his head.
Bai Qi’s expression was solemn: “Go out and run around the corner of the city a hundred times!”
Meng Dabiao’s face turned pig’s liver and he rubbed his hands together and begged, “I misspoke, Chief Bai, you’re not a fool. I, Da Biao, am the one who is a fool.”
Zhou Yao and Sun Kong sN*ggered secretly.
Bai Qi, however, was not amused and said solemnly, “This is a military order!”
“You have a personal vendetta!”
Meng Dabiao was somewhat anxious, running a hundred laps around the city corner, even with his physique, would be enough to kill him half to death!
Bai Qi smiled astonishingly and folded his fists together, clacking his knuckles: “So you want to take personal revenge with me?”
Meng Dabiao looked scared and shrank back, “I can’t beat you, I’ll go run to the city.”
After Meng Dabiao left in a huff, Zhou Yao and Sun Kong could no longer hold back their laughter.
As Bai Qi laughed for a while, he glanced at Chen Dong who was sleeping on the bed and said to Zhou Yao and Sun Kong, “Let’s get ready and have a good meal tomorrow night.”
“Chief Bai, a happy occasion?”
Zhou Yao asked curiously, and Sun Kong also looked curious.
“Of course it’s good!”
Bai Qi smiled and nodded, only to look at Chen Dong with some reluctance.
“Just think of …… as a trampling feast for you.”
This was the thought in Bai Qi’s mind.
……
When the first rays of sunlight fell on the earth in the early morning.
The Chen family became busy and hot.
The family had all the wealth in the world, the first of the gentry, overlooking the world’s gentry!
The family head’s birthday banquet was a top priority!
It was the time to show the majesty of the Chen family to the world’s most powerful families.
Even if the Chen family’s factions were complicated, they would not dare to be careless and sloppy in this matter.
The head of the family represented the Chen family, and this birthday banquet was a celebration of the head of the family’s birthday, and also represented the face of everyone in the Chen family!
Three days later, the giants of the world flocked to the event.
The titans and giants from all walks of life would also come as expected.
At that time, the Chen Family will be the focus of the world!
All the glory and eyes will be on the Chen family.
This is a true feast for the gentry, the world’s number one, without exception!
With all eyes on them, the slightest lapse in performance will be enough to make the world’s great families laugh!
Three days, and that was just the preparation time for the big event.
More detailed work had begun a month earlier.
The entire Chen family was desperately preparing for the feast three days later.
Early in the morning.
Chen Daolin dropped all his business and left for the Chen family airport.
His birthday was coming up and some VIPs would be arriving early!
He needed to go and greet them!
For example …… in-laws!
For example, ……’s daughter-in-law!
Such first blood relatives, in Chen Daolin’s opinion, were more honourable than any VIPs!
It was also just as Chen Daolin was heading to the Chen family airport.
In Old Lady Chen’s small courtyard, it was a different story.
In the Buddha Hall, the loud sound of chanting sutras was heard.
It was Old Lady Chen’s custom to chant sutras in the morning and evening, but this morning, the chanting was unusually loud, not peaceful, and even filled with a sense of impatience.
Chen Daoping and Chen Tiansheng stood at the door.
Both of them were stony-faced and apprehensive.
Even after standing for almost an hour, they did not dare to enter the Buddha Hall!
Last night’s violet aura was spectacular and shocking.
But both of them knew clearly how much the old lady had been angered by Chen Daoling’s shrewish words last night!
Boom!
Suddenly, a heavy banging of a wooden fish sounded inside the Buddha Hall.
Followed closely by.
Old Mrs. Chen’s angry curses came out.
“Worship, worship, worship your mother’s Buddha! The old body has been worshipping Buddha for decades, but Buddha did not care about me, this time, will you protect me or not?”
Chen Daoping and Chen Tiansheng’s faces changed drastically.
The two hurriedly rushed into the Buddha Hall.
Inside the Buddha Hall, Old Madam Chen was thunderstruck, the floor was full of wreckage, and even the wooden fish had been knocked to pieces by one of Old Madam Chen’s heavy blows earlier.
But Chen Tiansheng’s gaze was fixed.
He could clearly see that the floor beneath the shattered wooden fish had cracks in it.
How terrifying was this anger of Grandma’s?
So much so that a strike with anger from such an old body was so powerful?
