While Chen Xun and Dugu Bo were chatting in the group, Chen Luo shared the location of his bookstore in the group.
[So handsome he got hacked: @An apprentice who yearns for kendo, this is my location. I'm currently in the shop. You can come find me directly when you arrive in Tiandou City.]
Almost at the same time, prompts came from the two people's Wanfa Mirror.
Chen Xun clicked on the location sent by Chen Luo.
Immediately afterwards, a detailed map unfolded.
The crisscrossing streets and rows of buildings in Tiandou City appear clearly before our eyes like a miniature landscape.
He fixed his eyes on the flashing cursor and couldn't help but exclaim:
"This Wanfa Mirror can actually contain the entire Tiandou City within a small space. It is indeed worthy of being a product of the Divine Realm."
"With this map, it will be easy to find the senior's residence."
After Chen Xun received the location of Chen Luo's bookstore, he slowly stopped and turned to face Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi.
"Just send it here. Grandpa still has some things to take care of, so I won't be going with you."
He smiled faintly at Chen Xin with a gentle tone.
Chen Xin nodded, and although there was reluctance in his eyes, he didn't say much, and only replied softly:
"Okay, then take care of yourself, Grandpa."
Ning Fengzhi, who was standing beside him, also spoke with a smile, his words sincere:
"If you need anything in the future, Senior, please feel free to come to our Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. We will welcome you with open arms and treat you with all our heart."
Chen Xun nodded and said with a faint smile:
"Then I would like to thank Sect Master Ning."
After saying goodbye to the two of them, Chen Xun held the Wanfa Mirror and walked towards the bookstore according to the location.
At the same time, Dugu Bo also clicked on the location sent by Chen Luo, and a trace of surprise flashed across his brows:
"Isn't this place... right next to my Tiandou City residence?"
He whispered to himself, with a hint of doubt in his tone:
"When did a bookstore called "No Taboos" open there?"
This mansion was originally given by Prince Xuexing to win over this guest official as a token of his sincerity.
However, Dugu Bo was poisoned and had to stay in the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire to suppress the poison. He only returned home occasionally for a few days.
In his memory, there seemed to have never been any bookstores in that generation.
"Never mind. It's not far away anyway. I'll stop by and take a look when I return to the mansion someday."
"Since he's from the group, he must be either a hidden master or a peerless genius. I should try my best to build a good relationship with him in the future."
Dugu Bo thought to himself.
at the same time,
The news that Chen Xun had resurrected and defeated the great priest Qian Daoliu in one fell swoop spread wildly across the continent.
Spies sent by various forces brought back this information one after another, and suddenly a storm arose, shocking all parties.
Inside the Tiandou Palace,
Emperor Xue Ye sat upright on the throne, his brows filled with shock.
"I never thought that the gray-robed warrior who defeated several Spirit Hall priests in succession was actually the grandfather of His Majesty Sword Douluo, Mr. Jian Hao."
He spoke slowly, with a hint of disbelief in his voice, and said, "This is really unexpected."
Emperor Xue Ye had naturally heard of Chen Xun.
But decades ago, there were rumors that this swordsman had passed away.
Who could have expected that a person who should have been buried in history would miraculously reappear on the mainland?
What is even more shocking is that he not only broke through to the ninety-ninth level of the peerless realm.
He even defeated Qian Daoliu, the chief priest of the Spirit Hall, in one fell swoop.
Such strength,
It is not an exaggeration to call it the best in the world.
Emperor Xue Ye turned his gaze towards Chen Xin and asked, "So Mr. Jian Hao is still here. I wonder why we couldn't invite him to come along?"
Obviously, Emperor Xue Ye did not believe in the resurrection from the dead.
This kind of thing usually only happens in novels and stories. How could it exist in the real world?
Perhaps Emperor Xue Ye doesn't believe it yet.
But one day in the future, when resurrection from the dead really happens to him.
This was the end of his reign as emperor.
Facing the words of Emperor Xue Ye, Chen Xin remained calm.
I don't intend to explain this in too much detail.
As for whether his grandfather had come back to life or had never died, it was enough for him to know clearly in his heart, and there was no need to explain it to outsiders.
After all, this matter involves many serious issues, and even he knows very little about it.
If you are not careful, you may bring unnecessary trouble to grandpa.
"Your Majesty, my grandfather has important matters to attend to, so he cannot go to the palace to meet with Your Majesty."
Chen Xin said slowly.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Xue Ye's eyes flashed with a complex expression, and he slowly said, "I see... It's my misfortune that I was not able to witness the elegance of Mr. Jian Hao in person."
He paused slightly, and the light in his eyes dimmed quietly.
In this way,
In the end, the Tiandou Empire still failed to truly recruit a Titled Douluo of its own.
Chen Xun is Chen Xin's grandfather, and they are connected by blood. If he helps in the future, he will naturally stand on the side of his own descendants first.
Although the Tiandou Empire and the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect are allies, allies are just allies after all.
Some boundaries can never be crossed.
There are some people whose backs you can never completely trust.
------
Xingluo Empire, Xingluo Palace.
Emperor Xingluo tapped his knuckles lightly on the throne, his eyes narrowed slightly, and asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure... that the gray-robed warrior is really the swordsman Chen Xun?"
Davis bowed and responded with a firm tone:
"Replying to Father, it is absolutely true."
"The Spirit Hall's Grand Priest Qian Daoliu and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Sect Leader Yu Yuanzhen are both known as sword masters."
"Even Sword Douluo Chen Xin called the gray-robed old man "Grandpa" on the spot."
Emperor Xingluo was silent for a long time, with darkness intertwined in the depths of his eyes.
Swordsman Chen Xun...
That name has long been written into the legend of the deceased.
Someone who had been dead for decades reappeared.
There is clearly something wrong here.
At this moment, Davis spoke again and put forward his own speculation:
"Father, is it possible that the Sword Master never truly passed away? He simply faked his own death and hid from the world until he broke through the ninety-ninth level, then reappeared and challenged the seven great priests of the Spirit Hall in one fell swoop?"
"Perhaps, it is to avenge his son Chen Jianjun?"
After hearing this, Emperor Xingluo remained calm and shook his head slowly.
"Your speculation seems reasonable, but upon closer inspection, it has many loopholes."
"Firstly, the news of the swordsman's death was verified by spies sent by various major forces.
"It's almost impossible to completely conceal this from the eyes and ears of the entire continent."
"Let's take a step back. Even with his strength, he might be able to fake his own death. But what's the point of doing that?"
"With his strength as a level 98 Super Douluo, no force would take the initiative to provoke him or become his enemy, including the Spirit Hall."
"Isn't it a bit redundant to go to so much trouble to create an identity of fake death?"
Star Luo Emperor hit the nail on the head, and Davis had to retract his previous speculation.
"That's not all."
"If he faked his death in order to break through to level ninety-nine and avenge his son, then why did he spare his life after defeating Qian Daoliu?"
His eyes were like torches as he slowly uttered the last sentence:
"More importantly, Chen Xun was revered as the 'Swordsman' precisely because he lived a life of heroism and integrity."
"Do you think someone like this... would actually choose something as devious and obscure as faking his own death?"
"Compared to the theory of faked death, resurrection from the dead seems counterintuitive, but it also makes sense in many ways.
