Longevity Reward Redemption: The Immortal Clan Starts with Farmers

182: The mole has been exposed, and Liu Hongtu has reappeared!After Chen Changsheng saw Zhao Song off, he continued to close his eyes and rest, waiting.

He was waiting for news from Chuanwen’s investigation into the mole. This nail was too important; if it wasn’t pulled out, the Chen Family’s backyard would never be safe.

Finally, half an hour later, Chen Chuanwen arrived before Chen Changsheng with a gloomy expression.

”Did you find the mole?”

Chen Changsheng opened his eyes, his gaze cold as he looked at Chuanwen.

”The investigation is complete. No one on Jade Dragon Peak has had contact with the Formation, except... your cousin, Chen Black Dog. He touched the Formation when the Cold Blade Tower was sneaking up.”

”Since he is your cousin and a Mortal, the Martial Artists guarding the Formation didn’t stop him!”

Chuanwen related the news in detail, and Chen Changsheng couldn’t help but narrow his eyes.

His cousin had been brought in to manage the tea fields back when Chen Changsheng first made his fortune. Fifteen years had passed in the blink of an eye; he hadn’t expected that the person who would eventually betray the Chen Family would be him!

”Where is Chen Black Dog?”

Chen Changsheng said with narrowed eyes, his tone devoid of emotion and terrifyingly cold.

”He’s no longer on Jade Dragon Peak. He likely went down the mountain with the people from the Cold Blade Tower!”

Chuanwen had turned Jade Dragon Peak upside down but still couldn’t find a trace of Chen Black Dog.

”Over these fifteen years, I treated Chen Black Dog well and never shortchanged him on gold, silver, or treasures. I even let him move onto Jade Dragon Peak, yet I never expected him to repay kindness with enmity!”

”Tell Zhao Song to find his tracks. I want him found, alive or dead!”

Chen Changsheng gave a long sigh. This Chen Black Dog had indeed saddened him, but since he had already harmed the Chen Family, even if he was a relative, he couldn’t be allowed to escape!

”Alright, Father, I’ll go tell Zhao Song!”

Chen Chuanwen nodded, then left Jade Dragon Peak to find Zhao Song at the Black Ice Platform!

————————————————

While Chen Changsheng sat on Jade Dragon Peak waiting for news, the Jianghu of Annan Prefecture was in turmoil, practically being turned upside down!

The name of the Jade Dragon Peak Chen Family thoroughly resounded throughout the entire Annan Prefecture!

Because the number one assassin organization in the Annan Jianghu—the Cold Blade Tower—had been nearly wiped out by the Chen Family during this period... It could be said that the Jade Dragon Peak Chen Family’s reputation, which shook all of Annan, was built step by step upon the corpses of Cold Blade Tower members!

Over this past month, members of the Cold Blade Tower with hidden identities were constantly dragged out and killed along with their entire families; even the dogs in their courtyards were not spared. Beside their corpses, a black notice with a blood-red character for ’Kill’ was left!

According to inquiries by Jianghu people, this Blood-Kill Notice was the signature of the Jade Dragon Peak Chen Family’s handiwork.

”Have you heard? The Cold Blade Tower assassin who died today makes the hundredth one!”

”I haven’t just heard; I went to see it! The whole family, young and old, all dead. Not a single survivor. It was truly tragic!”

In the teahouses of the Annan Prefecture City, the Jianghu people were discussing the currently most explosive events regarding the Cold Blade Tower.

”I heard the Cold Blade Tower kidnapped the Grandson of the Jade Dragon Peak Chen Family head, Chen Changsheng. No wonder they’ve started a massacre!”

”If you ask me, they were right to kill them. This group of assassins does anything for money and has killed so many innocent people; it’s about time they tasted being hunted!”

Just as the discussion reached its peak, a Black-robed Person paused. The teacup in his hand stopped for a moment, then he suddenly set it down.

”Excuse me, is the head of this Jade Dragon Peak Chen Family named Chen Changsheng? And does he have a son named Chen Chuanwu?”

The Black-robed Person asked in a dry, raspy voice, while simultaneously tossing a gold ingot to the Jianghu man opposite him.

”That’s right, indeed!”

The Jianghu traveler caught the gold and bit it. After finding it was the real deal, his eyes lit up, and he immediately began to explain.

”Let me tell you, the Chen Family was originally a farming household that rose from a village. Now they’ve become a Cultivator Clan, and the three sons of the family are even more famous!”

”fierce tiger Chen Chuanwu, Poison Flood Dragon Chen Chuanwen, Sword Immortal Chen Chuanjie—every one of these three has stories of shaking Annan Prefecture circulating about them. All three of Chen Changsheng’s sons have achieved great success; it’s truly enviable!”

The Jianghu man spoke with a face full of yearning, as if he personally knew the members of the Chen Family.

The Black-robed Person gave a cold snort, and the teacup in his hand was crushed to powder. He then threw down a piece of silver and left the teahouse without looking back.

In a deserted alley, the Black-robed Person took off his hood, revealing himself to be the eldest Young Master of the Kaoshan Village Liu Family from years ago—Liu Hongtu!

Unlike the past, however, he had washed away his former playboy aura. The three scars on his face added a touch of ruthlessness and ferocity to his appearance!

”Chen Changsheng, Chen Family... back then you wiped out my entire Liu Family. Only because I went to join the army did I save my life!”

”You must have thought I was already dead, but unfortunately, I survived and even became a Cultivator... Chen Family, it’s time for you to repay your blood debt!”

Liu Hongtu spoke through gritted teeth, word by word. Then he put his black robe back on and walked into the crowd!

After some wandering, Liu Hongtu stopped in front of a remote little shop. He tapped on the door in a rhythm of three long and one short.

After a short while, the door opened, revealing the figure of a withered old man.

”Liu Hongtu, weren’t you sent to scout for information? What are you doing at my stronghold?”

The withered old man spoke to Liu Hongtu with a look of disdain. A flash of hatred crossed Liu Hongtu’s eyes, but he suppressed it and instead spoke politely:

”Old Man Xie, I have found the information the Young Lord asked me to look for!”

”Oh?”

The withered old man lifted his eyelids, gave Liu Hongtu a surprised look, and then stepped aside to signal Liu Hongtu to enter.

”Don’t be joking. Given our Young Lord’s ruthless nature, if you mess this up, death would be the best outcome!”

Once Liu Hongtu entered the room, the withered old man took out a Talisman and spoke to Liu Hongtu with a serious face.

”Thank you, I know what I’m doing!”

Liu Hongtu cupped his hands to the withered old man. Seeing this, the withered old man said no more and directly ignited the Talisman.

The Talisman burned, and then the figure of an exquisitely beautiful young woman dressed in black appeared out of thin air.

”You’ve ignited the Mirror Transmission Talisman; have you accomplished the task I assigned?”

The black-clad woman’s figure was illusory, yet she could speak human words. Clearly, this Talisman was not simple, as it allowed for remote visual communication.

”Reporting to Young Lord, I have confirmed that Chen Chuanwu of the Jade Dragon Peak Chen Family has an extremely strong Physical Body. Back in Tonghai County, he slaughtered over a thousand Martial Artists relying solely on his physique!”

”From this, it can be seen that this person is exceptionally fierce. Moreover, he has served in the army; even when he was in the Innate stage, he could slaughter Immortals as a Mortal. The Killing Intent on him must be extremely potent!”

”This Chen Chuanwu’s physical potential, fierce character, and slaughterous military aura are all remarkable. He perfectly meets the conditions for the Young Lord to refine the Three Fiends Demon Corpse!”

Hearing Liu Hongtu’s words, the young woman’s phantom image’s eyes lit up. She licked her scarlet lips and then said to Liu Hongtu:

”Liu Hongtu, the manpower of our Netherworld Corpse Sect’s stronghold in Annan Prefecture is at your disposal. Within one month, bring me Chen Chuanwu’s corpse!”
