Chapter 475 Intervention
"Bastard", a furious expression appeared on Chu Haoran's face after he saw the broken hand of the burly looking man. His gaze became icy as he looked towards Zhan Chen.
"Careful, Chu Haoran may use a soul attack on you", Huo Xixi had just sent a hasty mental communication when a soul strand approached Zhan Chen's body.
"Interesting", Zhan Chen's lips curled upward slightly.
"Chu Haoran, how can you be so brazen?", suddenly a distance voice came out from the depth of the Xuantian sect's base. It was Yang Yukong, the peak master of the Sword peak who couldn't hold back himself anymore after seeing Chu Haoran's malicious attack.
He appeared above Chu Haoran and Zhan Chen and gazed downward with an icy expression on his face.
"Senior, it is just a misunderstanding. I am only probing junior brother Zhan Chen", Chu Haoran explained himself hastily. His voice was slightly nervous because he was not expecting to alert an emperor.
"You know yourself what you have done. Don't think you can get away with anything just because of your family backing", Yang Yukong spoke. Chu Haoran felt inwardly furious but he was careful enough to not show his emotion outside.
"Disciple is wrong. As my punishment, I will personally gift junior brother Zhan Chen a soul nourishing pill", Chu Haoran spoke. His heart was bleeding but he still showed a guilty expression on his face. His acting was so realistic that even Jia Lingyi and Sima Chunhua felt he was repenting for his mistake.
"Are you alright?", Yang Yukong turned to look towards Zhan Chen. Although Chu Haoran's attack was not severe but it could still result in some minor soul injury to Zhan Chen. He felt worried because this matter may blow out of proportion if Zhan Chen was angered as well.
"Senior, I am alright. I am feeling slightly uncomfortable but I think, I will be alright after I consume senior brother Haoran's pill", Zhan Chen spoke. Not only Yang Yukong but also Chu Haoran was taken aback by Zhan Chen's reply. They couldn't understand why Zhan Chen was so calm and not angered at all.
"Alright, don't cause unnecessary trouble. We are already fighting the devils. So, I will not allow infighting at such a moment. If you have any grievances, you may settle them after we fend off the devil army", Yang Yukong spoke. He was looking towards Chu Haoran but his words were meant for every disciple of the Xuantian sect.
"We are leaving", Huo Xixi said to her group after Yang Yukong vanished from the sky. "Junior brother, be careful of Chu Haoran. He will not let it go easily", she sent a secret transmission to Zhan Chen before going away.
"Here is the pill. I am giving it to you but I don't know whether you are lucky enough to enjoy it", Chu Haoran took out a jade case from his spatial ring and handed it to Zhan Chen. His mood was gloomy as he walked away with his followers.
"Zhan Chen, I swear I will kill you within three days. Others may be afraid of your Zhan clan but I am not", he thought to himself. He didn't notice, Zhan Chen was looking at him with a calm expression on his face.
"Like I will give you any chance!", Zhan Chen muttered to himself after seeing through Chu
Haoran's thoughts. Chu Haoran's body stiffened suddenly as he was cursing Zhan Chen inside his mind.
"Congratulation for becoming my slave. Now, you can't think about revenge even if I call you a dog or a bastard", Zhan Chen spoke. Chu Haoran felt horrified but he knew he couldn't resist Zhan Chen anymore. Adding to his horror, he was now feeling a deep sense of obeisance towards Zhan Chen. It was like, Zhan Chen was a god and he was his most devout worship.
"Don't try to kneel or anything. Keep doing your work as usual. I will find you if I need something", Zhan Chen spoke.
"Yes master", Chu Haoran could reply stiffly. It had been only few seconds, yet his arrogant self had already become a devout slave of Zhan Chen. The techniques recorded in the Dark soul codex had never disappointed Zhan Chen and Chu Haoran was no exception.
"Junior brother Chen, it is a good thing that senior Yukong has intervened. Otherwise, it may be problematic if you come in blows with Chu Haoran", Jia Lingyi spoke.
"Problem?", Zhan Chen felt curious. Chu Haoran was also a core disciple like him. So, he didn't know why everyone was so apprehensive towards him. Beside, Jia Lingyi, even Huo Xixi had warned him about Chu Haoran before leaving.
"Junior brother Chen, we are still outside. Let's find a secluded place first", Sima Chunhua spoke.
"Sure, I want to know why senior sister Lingyi is looking for me", Zhan Chen replied. Together with Yin Ran, Hui Ling and Xue Yi, they went towards a cornermost location of the Grey ash city.
"Senior sister, can you tell me now? What do you want to talk with me?", Zhan Chen asked Jia Lingyi.
"Junior brother Chen, have you heard about hidden families?", Jia Lingyi asked Zhan Chen.
"Yes, I have heard a little. But I have yet to come in contact with them", Zhan Chen replied.
"Then have you heard about four everlasting families?", Jia Lingyi asked.
"Everlasting families?", Zhan Chen looked towards Jia Lingyi with a confused expression on his face.
"You actually have not heard about them? But how is it possible? Considering your status as the heir of the Zhan clan, how can you have no information about them?", Jia Lingyi looked towards Zhan Chen with puzzlement on her face.
"My Zhan clan has yet to recover completely. It is like an ordinary family untill recently. All of our inheritanced are severed. So, how am I supposed to learn anything about the secrets of the continent?", Zhan Chen spoke. His ancestor, Zhan Lin could have warned him about important secrets but he didn't mention anything. So, Zhan Chen was clueless about many secrets of the Central land.
"Oh, this is what happened. No wonder, you are not at all wary about Chu Haoran", Jia Lingyi nodded her head in understanding.
"Fine, I will fill you in. But you have to be careful when discussing about the everlasting families. I, myself have not much knowledge. What have I learned about them, come from the recorded history of my family. The information about the everlasting families are labelled as top secret for my family descendants", Jia Lingyi spoke.
"Senior sister, rest assured. I am not a careless person", Zhan Chen spoke.
