?81: Chapter 77: Intricate and Confusing 81: Chapter 77: Intricate and Confusing “Su Chen, what’s wrong?” Xiaao Wanyun asked with some concern and curiosity.

    Su Chen had clearly lost his composure, which was out of character for him.

    Although she had only been in contact with Su Chen for a short day or two, she had some understanding of his personality—extremely calm.

    Why would he lose his composure?

    Su Chen didn’t answer.

    Instead, he took a deep breath, suddenly turned his head, and looked at Chen Fang, who was trying to sneak away: “Do you know where this chopstick came from?”

    “I...I don’t know...” Chen Fang shook his head tremulously, sweat pouring down in large drops, nearly unable to stand, almost ready to kneel.

    “Then, tell me about your relationship with him,” Su Chen said, calming down again as he pointed to the body of the middle-aged man on the ground.

    “I called him Uncle Eagle; his real name is Hong Ying.

    He was as close as brothers to my father...

    After my father died, he took great care of me!” Chen Fang dared not hide anything.

    “Did Hong Ying help you become a Martial Cultivator too?” Su Chen raised an eyebrow.

    “Yes!” Chen Fang nodded vigorously.

    “He taught me martial arts cultivation, and he helped me clear my meridians...”

    Su Chen furrowed his brows.

    He could tell that Chen Fang was telling the truth.

    He had that much Eye Power.

    Since Chen Fang was telling the truth, then trying to get some useful information from his mouth was like a fool’s dream, because Chen Fang didn’t know anything at all.

    Hong Ying was the key figure.

    That was why he was silenced just a while ago, and although the murderous intent emanating from Chen Fang was strikingly similar to that from the car accident that killed his parents, it was only because Chen Fang had practiced the cultivation technique given by Hong Ying, as his disciple, in the same lineage as Hong Ying!!!

    “Who was it that hid in the shadows and easily assassinated Hong Ying?

    He doesn’t want me to capture Hong Ying alive, to find out the truth about my parents’ deaths.

    That means what I know now is not the truth!” Su Chen thought to himself, feeling heavy-hearted.

    The car accident of his parents was indeed not simple.

    In his previous life, he knew it was not simple.

    But he never imagined that it would be so elusive and complicated.

    Not only were Martial Cultivators involved, but they were also not ordinary ones!

    If Hong Ying’s Qi had been left at the scene of the accident, it meant that on the day of the accident, Hong Ying was there, possibly acting as the driver who hit and killed his parents.

    A high-ranking practitioner at the Peak of Mysterious Qi Training, could only play the role of a driver or a thug, and afterwards, to keep a secret, he was casually silenced.

    One could imagine how terrifying the person or force standing behind Hong Ying was?!

    Su Chen couldn’t help but clench the simple chopstick in his hand...

    This chopstick was not just a chopstick to Su Chen; it was exceedingly special.

    Since it was a chopstick, there should be two, but as long as he could remember, there was only this one in his house.

    He had asked his parents about it, and their answers were evasive.

    In his previous life, after his parents’ car accident, Su Chen spent a long time investigating and managed to find some useful information, including about this chopstick.

    It seemed that this chopstick had been with him since he was picked up by his parents, and indeed, there was only one.

    Latter, this chopstick had always accompanied him until the day of his parents’ car accident, when the chopstick mysteriously disappeared!

    Now, the chopstick had suddenly appeared.

    Clearly, it was left behind by the person who had hidden in the shadows earlier and assassinated Hong Ying!!!

    Deliberately left behind!

    “What does this mean?

    They killed my parents, took away this chopstick, why would they deliberately leave this chopstick now?” Su Chen was somewhat puzzled.

    But soon, his body trembled, and he suddenly thought of something...

    “This ancient chopstick represents my true origin.

    By leaving it behind, they are warning me that they know a lot, even my true origin, clearly.

    They are threatening me using the lives of my biological parents and more!” Su Chen’s face suddenly turned grim as water.

    “Damn it!!!

    Su Chen swears, I will definitely uncover everything.

    To the mastermind behind the scenes, don’t let me find you, or else, I will make you regret coming into this world!” Su Chen gnashed his teeth, pausing after each word.

    Then, he looked at Chen Fang, “Recite the martial cultivation technique that Hong Ying passed on to you.”

    “I...

    I...

    I...” Chen Fang shook his head, shaking it vehemently.

    “What?

    Unwilling?

    Want to die?” Su Chen’s gaze turned icy cold, took a step forward, and approached Chen Fang.

    “No, I don’t quite understand the cultivation technique.

    Back then, when Uncle Eagle was teaching me, he made me circulate my qi through the meridian network according to what he said, without actually seeing any specific spells...” Finally, Chen Fang knelt down, crying and shouting, “I truly don’t know the specifics of the cultivation technique!”

    “Worthless!!!” A heavy stone once again pressed upon Su Chen’s heart.

    In anger, he raised his foot and kicked Chen Fang, using full force, sending Chen Fang flying into the corner, spitting blood profusely.

    “It seems that what Hong Ying passed to Chen Fang back then was the cultivation technique of the major forces that Hong Ying sold his life to.

    That technique can’t just be passed on to others.

    To prevent others from knowing, Hong Ying didn’t show Chen Fang the specifics, but merely taught him to absorb spiritual energy and circulate mysterious qi according to the spell’s meridian circulation.”

    If that was indeed the case, the path to investigate Hong Ying through Chen Fang, and from Hong Ying to the mastermind behind the scenes, was completely severed.

    Suddenly, Su Chen stood still, his mood heavy.

    He could feel as if a huge net, an invisible net, had suddenly descended and ensnared him!

    So oppressive he could hardly breathe.

    “Chen Fang, where is your father?” Suddenly, Su Chen asked again.

    Since Chen Fang’s father and Hong Ying were brothers who had trusted each other with their lives, perhaps there might be important information about Hong Ying from Chen Fang’s father.

    “My father has been dead for a very long time!” Chen Fang said, coughing up more blood.

    “Damn it!!!” Su Chen couldn’t hold back anymore, swearing vehemently.

    Truly watertight!

    Seeing Su Chen’s anger, Chen Fang was so frightened he couldn’t bear his pain.

    He quickly straightened up and knelt on the ground, knocking his head on the floor repeatedly, “Don’t kill me, don’t kill me, don’t kill me...”

    “It seems that the investigation should start with Xue E!” After several breaths, Su Chen thought to himself somberly.

    On that day, Xue E was one of the people who drove the car that killed his parents, and there wasn’t just one person in that car.

    Now it seemed that, at the very least, there were Xue E and Hong Ying.

    In his previous life, he had reached Xue E, but that was all he managed to find.

    And had his revenge!

    He had expended a great deal of effort to kill Xue E.

    This life, due to the sudden appearance of Chen Fang, brought out Hong Ying.

    Unfortunately, the line to Hong Ying was temporarily broken again.

    “To investigate Xue E with my current strength is still very difficult, Xue E isn’t a Martial Cultivator, but his power in the secular world is too vast.” After a moment of thought, Su Chen could only suppress all the urgency and oppression in his heart.

    He needed power.
