There were only two major events that happened in Qinglin City.
The first was the battle between Chen Zhenghong and Shang Zhonglei. Regardless of the process, Chen Zhenghong was defeated and died.
The second incident occurred at the Azure Forest Terrace. One side was still Shang Zhonglei, and the other side was Chen Zhenghong's son, Chen Qingzong. In everyone's imagination, Shang Zhonglei should have won, yet unexpectedly, Shang Zhonglei was killed.
As for the death of Family Mo's third elder, it was only incidental. Even Shang Zhonglei was no match for Chen Qingzong's sword, let alone the weaker Family Mo's third elder.
In an instant, Chen Qingzong's name was remembered by all the forces in Qinglin City. He was listed as someone not to be provoked.
A fifteen-year-old with such a high cultivation level that even Shang Zhonglei, who was at the peak of the ninth level of the Foundation Realm, was no match for him. Such strength at such a young age meant that his talent and potential were shocking.
Unless one could kill him in an instant, they would suffer endless revenge from him.
Although there was a chance to kill him with a good plan, there was no guarantee that the Blue Cloud Sect wouldn't come looking for them.
Qinglin City was under the jurisdiction of the Blue Cloud Sect, so no one could escape.
...
"Uncle Feng, Uncle Liu, Building Masters, I'll take my leave." Chen Qingzong clasped his hands together and cupped his hands. He spoke to the other six building masters of the Seven Swords Towers.
"A true dragon has to soar through the nine heavens. The Seven Swords Towers is too shallow." Liu Chengyi sighed, but his face was filled with relief. He was almost forty years old, but he had never married or had any children. His relationship with Chen Zhenghong was very good, so he attached great importance to Chen Zhenghong's children.
Chen Qingzong's talent and strength had surpassed his master. Of course, he was overjoyed.
"If you're willing, I can even give you the position of First Building Master." Feng Pingsheng smiled and sighed. "Unfortunately, the Seven Swords Towers is too shallow to raise a true dragon like you. Only the Sect is your place."
"Qingzong, work hard on your cultivation. When you become famous in the future, we will have the right to brag about it," another Sword Tower Lord teased.
After a few words of farewell, Chen Zong and Chen Qingyao got into the carriage.
The carriage was prepared by Seven Swords Towers. It looked simple on the outside, but the interior was quite luxurious. There were cushions and a bed, and it was very soft and comfortable.
Chen Qingyao's physique had been weak since she was young, so she couldn't cultivate. Moreover, the journey from Qinglin City to Blue Flower City was long, at least 800 Li.
Eight hundred miles was nothing for a cultivator like Chen Zong, but it was a long distance for an ordinary person. Therefore, it was important to have a comfortable carriage. Chen Zong didn't want his daughter to be tired.
Chen Qingyao sat in the carriage while Chen Zong acted as the coachman. The journey began.
"When a true dragon appears, the world will be shocked. I have a premonition that there will be another blazing sun in the Dong Chen Region," a Sword Tower Lord exclaimed as he watched the carriage slowly depart.
"Which one of the blazing suns in the Dong Chen Region isn't talented and powerful? Qingzong has the potential to become a Morning Star, but whether he can be ranked as a blazing sun is still unknown."
"Yes, the five blazing suns in the Dong Chen Region haven't changed for many years. However, I heard that in recent years, many young geniuses with the potential to become Morning Stars have appeared."
… …
This carriage was meticulously assembled, and ordinary people couldn't afford to ride it. Therefore, it didn't sway significantly on the bumpy official road, and Chen Qingyao, who was sitting in the carriage, didn't feel any bumps.
Chen Zong sat in front of the carriage, controlling the three horses while comprehending the Heart Sword Sutra.
Including the Blue Waves World, Chen Zong had never encountered such a difficult cultivation method to comprehend. It was too mysterious, and every word and sentence contained endless mysteries. Delving into it would give rise to countless mysteries, and Chen Zong almost lost himself in it.
But the more it was like this, the more Chen Zong's fighting spirit was stimulated.
Chen Zong firmly believed that if he could comprehend even a little bit of the mysteries, it would bring him great benefits. Perhaps, it would surpass everything else.
When he was young, he was depressed and didn't succeed. Only after obtaining the Heart Sword Seal did he reverse the situation. He thought that the Heart Sword Seal was his greatest opportunity, but now it seemed that the greatest opportunity should be the Heart Sword Sutra. Of course, without the Heart Sword Seal, he wouldn't have been able to obtain the Heart Sword Sutra.
In short, the two were one and couldn't be separated. But no matter what, it belonged to him now.
With such an opportunity, he naturally had to grasp it well. He didn't seek to follow the path of his predecessors, but he could use it as a reference to walk his own path.
However, that was a bit far away. Right now, he had to cultivate well and increase his cultivation. Only when he had enough strength could he walk his own path.
The sky was high and the ground was wide. The sun was high up in the sky, and the official road connected the north and the south.
On this road, there were very few ordinary people. Most of them were cultivators. The weaker ones were at the second or third layer of the Foundation Realm, while the stronger ones were at the seventh, eighth, or even ninth layer of the Foundation Realm.
The carriage couldn't go too fast, so they had to stop late at night to rest.
In the previous world, Chen Zongfeng was used to sleeping outdoors, so it wasn't a big deal. However, Chen Qingyao rarely slept outside. Fortunately, she had a comfortable carriage and had prepared enough vegetables, fruits, meat, and so on, so she didn't go hungry.
Under the night sky, the siblings chatted as they ate.
Chen Qingyao knew that after going to Blue Flower City, her brother would leave. She didn't know when they would meet again, so she was very reluctant.
"Oh, not bad, there is a carriage and a little beauty. This uncle is tired, so come and massage this uncle's legs." Two burly men walked down the official road in the middle of the night. They saw the carriage on the side of the road and also saw Chen Zong and Chen Qingyao.
However, they directly ignored Chen Zong. He was just a young brat. On the other hand, the woman looked beautiful and delicate. They couldn't wait to hug her and comfort her.
"Scram!" Chen Zong was angry and his eyes were cold.
"Oh, you're quite arrogant. When your grandfather came out to mingle, you were still in some girl's stomach …" Before he could finish his words, a beam of sword light flashed in front of his eyes. He couldn't finish his words because he was already dead.
Chen Zong would never show mercy to people who insulted his family.
Although Chen Qingyao was delicate and couldn't cultivate, her heart was very strong. She had seen many dead people, so she wasn't afraid. She didn't blame Chen Zong. In her heart, what her brother did was right.
"Sister, let's continue," Chen Zong said. He urged the horse, which had rested for nearly two hours, and the carriage started rolling again.
After two days and one night, including the rest time, the carriage finally arrived at Blue Flower City.
Blue Flower City didn't look much different from Qinglin City.
The cities under the jurisdiction of the Blue Cloud Sect all started with the word "Blue" and had various names. There were flowers, plants, trees, and so on.
Chen Zong knew from Chen Qingzong's memory that his mother's surname was Lin. She was a member of a small family in Blue Flower City and seemed to be the daughter of the Lin family's patriarch. Now, according to Chen Zhenghong's will, he brought Chen Qingyao to the Lin family.
"Go this way." Chen Qingyao showed Chen Zong the way. She had come here several times with Chen Zhenghong. The last time was a year ago, so she was familiar with the road.
The old patriarch of the Lin family, who was also Chen Zhenghong's father-in-law, was called Lin Yongfu. It was a very ordinary name, and he was also a very kind old man. He had retired and his son, Lin Datong, had taken over the position of patriarch.
Lin Datong was also Chen Zhenghong's brother-in-law. Chen Qingzong and Chen Qingyao had to call him uncle.
The Lin Clan was just a small, mediocre clan. There were only a dozen or so people in total. It was very simple.
The arrival of Chen Qingzong and Chen Qingyao made the Lin family very happy. However, when they learned that Chen Zhenghong had passed away, they couldn't help but feel sad.
"Grandfather, Grandmother, Uncle, Aunt, my sister plans to stay here in the future. Sorry to trouble you." Chen Zong also said very directly. Then, he took out a wooden box. "My father left some belongings in here. He asked me to give them to you."
Of course, Chen Zhenghong didn't say so. However, Chen Zong did so for two reasons. Firstly, he wanted the Lin family to have more money. Secondly, he wanted his sister to have a better life.
As for Chen Qingyao, Chen Zong naturally left some gold for her. It was the spoils of war he got after killing Shang Zhonglei.
When the members of the Lin family saw that it was actually a hundred taels of gold, their whole body trembled. To the Lin family, this was a huge amount of wealth. No matter what, they wouldn't accept it. However, Chen Zong used Chen Zhenghong's will as an excuse to convince the Lin family to accept it.
In the Lin family, Chen Zong could feel the warmth of family love. It was a long-lost family love.
They didn't do it for the sake of the gold. It was their nature. In fact, it was also inseparable from Chen Zhenghong's frequent visits here.
No matter how good the relationship was, it needed to be maintained. Otherwise, it would inevitably fade after a long time. It was the same for family love and friendship.
After staying in the Lin family for a day and two nights, Chen Zong asked to leave.
The Lin family also knew that he was now a disciple of the Blue Cloud Sect and had to report back to the Sect. Therefore, although they were reluctant to part with him, they didn't force him to stay.
"Son, come back when you have time. This is your home." Lin Yongfu patted Chen Zong's shoulder with tears in his eyes. Grandma held Chen Zong's hand and didn't want to let go.
"Haha, good boy. Practice hard. Maybe there will be a real dragon in our Lin family." Lin Datong laughed. Of course, he didn't know Chen Zong's ability. However, his words were also a kind of encouragement and expectation.
Chen Zong was included in the Lin family. After all, Chen Qingzong's mother was a member of the Lin family. Therefore, both Chen Qingzong and Chen Qingyao could be considered half a member of the Lin family.
Now that Chen Zhenghong was dead, the two of them didn't belong to anyone. It was not a big deal to be included in the Lin family.
Chen Zong didn't object to this. When Chen Qingzong's soul was merged, Chen Zong said that his family was his family. It was reasonable.
"Brother, I will live a good life here. Don't worry. Come and see us when you have time," Chen Qingyao said, holding back her tears.
"I'm leaving." Chen Zong's tone was a bit heavy. Life and death were the rules of human relations, but he had to go through them. Every time, it was so heart-wrenching, but he had to bear it.
"Boy, next time you come back, remember to bring me a few bottles of good wine." Lin Datong shouted at Chen Zong's back. He loved wine, very much so. Last night, he drank more than ten pounds of wine with Chen Zong, but he didn't get drunk.
