Da Xuan Martial Saint

Chapter 136: Chapter 124: Pacification_3

Being only twenty-five years old when he stepped into Tendon Changing, the difficulty for him to later enter the Bone Tempering Realm was substantial, yet Xu Hongyu had already achieved Tendon Changing Perfection. After some trials, it was quite possible for her to step into the Bone Tempering Realm.

Although Chen Mu, once he reached Tendon Changing Perfection, relying on his Horizontally Trained Body wouldn't be too far behind a typical Bone Tempering Minor Achievement, but Bone Tempering and Tendon Changing are ultimately two different realms after all.

Moreover, Xu Hongyu was a direct descendant of the Yu Family.

With Chen Mu's innate talent and qualifications, if he were to be betrothed, a woman from a collateral branch would more than suffice; in fact, even a common main branch member would be suitable, like Yu Ru. But Xu Hongyu... that still wouldn't be quite appropriate.

As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Yu Jun hastened his pace. Nangou and Donghong were neighboring townships, and although a mountain range separated them, it would not take long for someone of his stature in the Bone Tempering Realm to cross it.

However.

Just as Yu Jun and some men were finally nearing the territory of Donghong Township.

Off in the distance, figures hurried towards them, dimly visible in the attire of the Yu Family, were the Yu Family's Protector Blade Masters.

Seeing Yu Jun and his party from afar, the Protector Blade Masters seemed somewhat surprised, but they quickly approached. Soon they arrived and saluted Yu Jun, "Lord Yu."

"What's the situation in Donghong and how is Hongyu?"

Yu Jun asked in a deep voice.

The Protector Blade Master promptly reported, "Hundreds of monsters have gathered to the south of Donghong Township. Early warning signals were sent three times, and messengers have reported to the County Government. But my lord, you were not at the County Government at that time, so the dispatched troops then detoured to Nangou, but they lost contact en route, perhaps encountering..."

Yu Jun frowned and interrupted, "Get to the point! What's the situation in Donghong now?"

The Protector Blade Master, startled by the interruption, hurriedly spoke with caution, "Lord Xu has assembled troops and headed south to confront them. They encountered the monsters around the southern slope of Liu Family Village, rallying forces within a small area to fight against many, slaying hundreds of monsters. However, the monsters kept coming without end.

Soon after, Lord Chen arrived, slaying hundreds more monsters and stabilizing the front line, eventually crushing the monster incursion."

Yu Jun nodded inwardly upon hearing the first part. Rallying forces in such a situation, without dispersing to intercept, was the right decision. Xu Hongyu's troop deployment was quite remarkable, and it wasn't in vain that he had previously brought Xu Hongyu along for guidance.

But when he heard that the monsters kept emerging endlessly, his expression darkened, not even that surprised, since Nangou Township faced the same issue. Clearly, Donghong also had problems. If Huaiyu, Jingyu, and other County Governments were all normal, then it's very likely that the He Family was causing trouble behind the scenes, and it couldn't be divorced from them.

However.

Upon hearing the last part, Yu Jun was immediately taken aback.

"Lord Chen?"

He looked at the Protector Blade Master with a slight furrow of his brows.

Being able to slay hundreds of monsters, stabilizing the situation, and crushing the monster chaos, that strength must not differ much from his own, but he didn't recall a Chen with such a level... Hm?

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind and he revealed a glimmer of astonishment.

He then heard the Protector Blade Master continue to report in a low voice, "It was Lord Chen Mu. Lord Chen has comprehended the Xun Wind Artistic Conception, and Third Rank monsters aren't a match for Lord Chen in a single move. Thus, when Lord Chen arrived, the monsters couldn't breach the battle line."

Hearing this, Yu Jun came to an abrupt halt.

The accompanying White-Clothed Guards and some Yu Family men-at-arms were also stunned.

The entire scene fell into silence momentarily, as if even the breaths of everyone could be clearly heard.

Artistic Conception?

After a moment of silence, Yu Jun turned to the Yu Family Blade Master and said, "Is everything you say true?"

The Protector Blade Master replied, "I saw it with my own eyes."

As he spoke, there was also a hint of awe in his eyes. As a practitioner of the blade, and an elite of the Yu Family with Body Refinement Perfection, having developed a Blade Momentum, he was all the more aware of the lofty height of Blade Techniques that reached the level of Artistic Conception. Stay connected with M-V-L

"So that's how it is. Then it makes sense," Yu Jun murmured, gazing in the direction of Donghong.

He retracted his earlier judgment.

If Chen Mu was interested in Xu Hongyu, then indeed, they would be a very suitable match. He would mention it to Yu Zuyi later on.
