C38

In an alley beside Xu Chen's small courtyard, a green-robed Gong Dao was sneakily chatting with a few other young men.

"Brother, if you have anything you want us to do, just tell us. I, Er Hu, will climb the mountain of blades and descend into the sea of fire without even frowning."

The young man standing in front of Gong Dao had a fierce expression on his face as he vowed solemnly to Gong Daoyi.

"Brother Erhu, how can there be a friendship between us brothers that requires such instructions? I just know that there is a good deal to be told." Gong Dao said with a smile.

"Oh?" Erhu Zi looked doubtfully at Gong Qing and asked: "Brother, then quickly tell me what it is you want?"

"Do you see that courtyard?" Gong Dao pointed at Xu Chen's courtyard and said, "During the day, I introduced this courtyard to them. I saw with my own eyes that they were filled with Dongxuan coins!"

"Really?" When Erhu Zi heard about the Dongxuan coins, his eyes lit up and he asked: "Did big brother see it clearly?"

"That's not nonsense. I saw that they were carrying bags full of Eastern Xuan Coins, and their eyes were blinking a little." Gong Dao laughed.

"That's fine. If what I said is true, then I'll give you 20% of the rules. What do you think?" When Erhu Zi heard Gong Dao's words, he almost fell over.

"Sure, sure." Gong Dao seemed to be uninterested in all of this and said, "Actually, I only valued the things on these Northern Reaches' bodies. I just need the ring from the youth in the yard to give it back to me."

"Brother, you don't need Dongxuan Coins?" Erhu Zi asked uncertainly.

"No no, my 20% brothers will split it." Gong Dao said generously.

"Then I, Erhu, will thank Big Brother. Big Brother can go back and wait for our good news." Erhu Zi snickered.

Although Erhu Zi said he only cared about the Eastern Xuan Coins, he understood clearly in his heart.

If that ring was a treasure, then no matter what, they wouldn't give it to Gong Dao. What could Gong Dao do with them?

Gong Dao looked at Erhu Zi with a smile that was not a smile. He did not say anything and it seemed like he did not want to say anything.

On the other hand, Xu Chen and his group had just finished dinner in the yard. Su Xiao Yue and Xu Shengyan were very tired out during the day.

He called out early in the morning to go to bed, while Xu Chen sat alone in the yard, drinking tea.

Xu Chen was still thinking about Gong Dao. Was it related to the Four Great Heavenly Palaces in the Northern Lands, or was he just overthinking?

According to Xu Chen's experience, he might not have been able to see it in the past decade.

However, there were a lot of people whom they could interact with on a normal basis. The big figures of the different continents of the entire Eastern Xuan Continent would more or less interact with each other.

However, he had only heard of Gong Dao's deductions about the Dao of Saints from books.

It was unlikely for them to be any powerful or influential family, but they should be some expert that was hiding in this world to cultivate the path of a saint.

Thinking of this, Xu Chen was slightly impressed by Gong Dao's deduction technique.

However, this Gong Dao seemed to be a bit strange. As for where the strange thing was, Xu Chen only felt this way, and was unable to tell.

As he thought about this, Xu Chen finished the pot of tea, but he was unable to come up with an answer.

However, this was always Xu Chen's personality. Since he could not come up with a solution, he might as well do it. Hopefully, the result would not be too bad.

The most important thing for Xu Chen was to raise his own strength, so after finishing his tea, he went back to his room to cultivate.

In the dead of night, four black-clad men climbed up the wall of Xu Chen's courtyard.

"Erhu, which house should we go to first?" One of the masked, black-clothed men asked the leader, Er Hu Zi.

"Go to that boy's room. The important things are all there." Erhu Zi pointed to the room that Xu Chen was in.

After saying that, he brought his three brothers to the door of Xu Chen's room stealthily.

Erhu Zi fished out a thin tube from somewhere and inserted it through the gap in the door before blowing out a bag of knockout drugs.

"Brother Erhu, it should be about time, right?" After waiting outside for a while, Erhu's brother asked impatiently.

"Mm, I'll go in and take a look." Erhu Zi also felt that the effects of the medicine was almost enough, so the person inside should have also fainted.

Thus, Erhu Zi and a few of his brothers opened the door. Erhu Zi and a few of his brothers looked at each other with smiles on their faces.

However, when they pushed open the door, they were all stunned. Xu Chen was sitting on a chair, surrounded by a divine power.

"Who are you people!" Xu Chen looked at Erhu Zi and the others.

"A Spirit Gathering Realm God Pulse Cultivator!"

"Brother Erhu, what's going on? Didn't you say that these Northerners are normal people?"

"What do we do now?" Erhu Zi's brothers did not answer Xu Chen's question and looked at him.

Erhu Zi was not afraid that Xu Chen would have a higher cultivation level than him. Since he had already been discovered by this kid, he might as well open his face and speak!

"Brat, let me tell you, this grandpa and the others came for money. If you want to die, hurry up and hand it over!" Er Hu Zi arrogantly said!

"I think you've come to the wrong place." Xu Chen said calmly, "If you don't leave, I can send you out!"

Although Xu Chen was a low-key person, he wasn't someone who was afraid of getting into trouble, especially these people in front of him!

However, when Erhu Zi thought about the Eastern Xuan Coins that Gong Daoyi had described, his mind heated up. Without caring about what Spirit Gathering Realm cultivator Xu Chen was, he said, "Since you are unwilling to pay, then we will talk after we kill you!"

After saying that, Er Hu's group looked at each other and rushed towards Xu Chen.

As a native of the Eastern Divine Region, it was very common to practice martial arts.

Even though Erhu Zi and the others weren't good at martial arts, most of them were still in the seventh level of the Body Refinement Realm.

Even though Xu Chen was at the first level of the Spirit Severing Stage, they might still be able to fight!

When they had rushed over, Xu Chen knew in his heart that these people had come with ill intentions.

Therefore, when Erhu Zi and his three brothers punched over, Xu Chen jumped up.

"Pieces of wood, flutes of water, flutes of water!" The chair that Xu Chen had been sitting on was smashed into smithereens.

Although Xu Chen had successfully avoided their attacks, he still had some lingering fear.

Furthermore, from Erhu Zi's body, he seemed to be able to sense martial skills. This was what Xu Chen cared about the most.

Of these four people, the only one who could threaten him would be Er Hu!

However, even though Xu Chen didn't practice any godly skills, his martial skills were already at the pinnacle of the Eastern Xuan Continent.

Xu Chen did not have any divine power in his body. All of his divine power came from the heaven and earth.

The ground where Erhu Zi was standing twisted, making it hard for them to stand!

"What's going on?!" Erhu Zi and the others were shocked. It seemed like they had never seen a godly technique like this before.

However, Xu Chen did not plan to waste any more time with them. He stomped his feet and shot out like a sharp sword.

His whole body was overflowing with the light of divine force, making him look as if he was moving at an extraordinarily fast speed!

This caused Erhu's brothers to feel a chill in their hearts. This kind of attack was something they could not defend against in time.

However, a sneer appeared on Er Hu Zi's face. Martial power surged out from his fists, forming a strange animal shape!

"Brat, you don't have any godly skills, so what if your cultivation is high?!" Erhu Zi laughed arrogantly!

Boom!

Xu Chen and Erhu Zi's fists collided, causing a loud sound of impact.

Xu Chen and Erhu both took a few steps back, but Xu Chen felt a little pain on his fist. Xu Chen hid his hand and couldn't help but tremble.

As for Erhu Zi, he seemed fine, but it was obvious that his complexion was not good.

Even though Erhu Zi's cultivation level was lower than Xu Chen's, he had martial skills, so he was at a disadvantage in battle.

This also gave Xu Chen a headache. He hadn't cultivated any godly skills. Furthermore, as a cultivator with godly meridians, he definitely wasn't a match for a martial artist in his early stages of cultivation!

Just as Xu Chen was thinking of a countermeasure, the commotion from their side seemed to have awoken Su Xiaoyue!

"Xu Chen, what happened over there?"

"Brother Er Hu, what should we do?" Erhu's brother was worried that someone would come over to help.

"Let's go!" Erhu Zi also knew that if he could hold Xu Chen back and someone helped Xu Chen, they would not be a match for him.

"If you want to leave, I'll send you off!" When Xu Chen saw that Er Hu Zi and his group were about to leave, he quickly strode forward and blocked their path.

When Erhu's brothers saw Xu Chen block Erhu's path, they wanted to help.

However, at this time, Su Xiao Yue had also come out. Seeing Erhu Zi and Xu Chen fighting, she asked.

"Xu Chen, what's going on?!"

"Throw them out!" Xu Chen said to Su Xiao Yue as he and Erhu Zi fought.

"Oh!" Su Xiaoyue made an 'oh' sound. She glanced at the three men in tight clothing preparing to attack Xu Chen. A surge of force emanated from her body!

If it was said that Erhu Zi cultivated a martial skill, then he had the ability to control martial power.

As for Erhu's brothers, under Erhu's guidance, they also had some control.

However, Su Xiaoyue was different. Before they met Xu Chen, her way of fighting had always been simple, brutal and wild!

Su Xiaoyue, for example, was holding one of the legs of a man in black clothing and throwing it out of the yard!

This was exactly what Xu Chen had said!

After battling Erhu Zi for a few rounds, Xu Chen had a clear understanding of Erhu's methods.

Without the help of Erhu Zi's brothers, Xu Chen quickly beat him down, and then Su Xiao Yue threw them out as well.

And on a tree not far from the yard, Gong Dao was still wearing green clothes, swaying with the wind.

Gong Dao had clearly seen everything that happened in Xu Chen's courtyard. He couldn't help but frown when he saw Xu Chen and Su Xiao Yue throw Er Hu Zi out.

"So it turns out that Xu Chen is only at the Spirit Gathering realm. This is quite troublesome!"
