Xu Huts talent was good, so he was adopted by the Horse-thief Gang. Because of Xu Kun, he became a disciple under the Third Master. However, Xu San was not so fortunate. Due to his poor physique, he was abandoned since childhood. If no one adopted him, he would be left to fend for himself.
If someone did adopt him, he would become a spy for the adopter’s household. This was the Horse-thief Gangs approach, but it was also the tragedy of people like Xu San.
Because they couldn’t tell whom they should help.
Since his childhood, Xu San was raised by Elder Yang, but only because of Xu Kun’s son, he turned to help the Horse-thief Gang. It must be said that Xu San couldn’t tell right from wrong.
Yang Chen knew early on that Xu San was a spy.
However, he never mentioned it.
Because he knew very well that Elder Yang trusted Xu San very much. Accusing Xu San abruptly would only create a rift between Yang Chen and Elder Yang. Although he knew it, he never mentioned it. He knew that one day, an opportunity would arise for him to expose Xu San’s true face.
There was no need to rush things.
Now, it was clearly an appropriate opportunity.
A person can be free from suspicion, but Xu San was obviously tainted.
At this point, the truth had become undeniable, and Xu San became desperate. He shouted, “The Yang family never treated me as one of their own. Is it wrong for me to betray you? Hahaha, the Horse-thief Gang has promised me many benefits, following them is the right choice. What has the Yang family given me? I am nothing more than a servant, a mere lackey! How could I, Xu San, be content with being just a servant!”
“Yes, the Horse-thief Gang has promised you many benefits, but how many have you actually obtained? You think you’re a servant in the Yang family, but are you not a servant in the Horse-thief Gang as well? At least in the Yang family, nobody would bully you!” Yang Chen spoke incisively.
Hearing this, Xu San’s heart sank, and he found himself unable to refute Yang cnen.
Yes, the Horse-thief Gang indeed promised him many benefits, even saying that as long as he was a good spy, they would provide him with endless wealth and honor.
But have these benefits ever materialized?
No, never!
Most importantly, in the Horse-thief Gang, he was just a low-ranking lackey all the same!
Elder Yang was heartbroken and rebuked, “Xu San, I have always treated you as my own grandson. When have I ever treated you as an outsider?”
“Bullshit! Ever since you met Yang Chen, has my status ever been above his?” Xu San clenched his teeth with hatred.
“Alas, Xu San, you must know, if you hadn’t bullied Yang Chen first, how could I have favored him?” Elder Yang shook his head, “It’s too late now, everything has come to pass. Heh, it’s just that I was too kind in the past, and I picked up a scourge like you!”
Hearing Elder Yang’s words, Xu San was suddenly reminded of something.
Yes, if he hadn’t provoked Yang Chen first, would Elder Yang have favored Yang Chen?
“Xu San, you’ve ruined me! If I can’t escape today, I want you to be the first one to be buried with me! ” The coarse miner bandit shouted angrily at Xu San.
Xu San shivered and finally realized who he had teamed up with after the bandit scolded him.
Thinking of this, Xu San let out a miserable laugh, though it was unclear whether he had realized his mistake.
At this point, it was too late to discuss Xu San’s rights and wrongs, as he had committed an unforgivable mistake.
However, no one was dealing with a small fry like Xu San at the moment. Led by Yang Jin He, the Yang family members stared straight at the bandits.
Yang Jin He’s face was expressionless at this time, saying, “This person is one of the Horse-thief Gang’s Twelve Great Fierce Ghost Protectors, named Zhu Yinyang. His martial arts cultivation has reached the First Layer of the Body Refining Realm. In any case, we must catch him today, and if we can’t, we must kill him, so as not to cause future trouble.”
Killing people from the Horse-thief Gang should not be done lightly.
However, since the Horse-thief Gang had targeted the Yang family members, if they didn’t strike back, would they be joking?
And just as the Horse-thief Gang had made Elder Yang Si vanish without a trace, they could also dispose of Zhu Yinyang without anyone noticing.
Yang Chen spoke without expression at this time, “If we can avoid killing, then let’s not kill. Fourth Master’s life and death are uncertain right now, and the Horse-thief Gang might want to use him to threaten us. We will take Zhu Yinyang as a hostage in our negotiation with the Third Master. I don’t believe the Horse-thief Gang will disregard the life and death of a Spirit Martial Realm cultivator.”
“Hahaha, young one from the Yang family, do you think you can catch me alive? Yang Chen, I’ll kill you first!” Zhu Yinyang saw that there were so many Yang family members, and it was unknown whether Yang Zhengyi was here or not. Knowing that it would be extremely difficult to escape, he suddenly made a move, trying to catch them off guard.
Zhu Yinyang was indeed clever, his choice of attacking was perfectly timed. If he managed to capture Yang Chen, the situation would turn around immediately. Controlling Yang Chen’s life would force the Yang family to listen to him, right?
He had a good idea, but only when he made his move did he realize what kind of mistake he had made.
Because his famous ultimate technique, the ‘Yang Fire Spirit Method’, which came with a powerful flaming attack, was instantly cracked by Yang Chen. Upon looking up, Yang Chen was surrounded by layers upon layers of spear shadows, one after another, a hundred in total.
No. a hundred was not the limit.
Spear shadows appeared everywhere, making it hard to count!
These spear shadows were naturally Yang Chen’s unique skill, Phantom Shadows!
However, the current Phantom Shadows were incomparable to those from his Body Refining Realm. After reaching the Spirit Martial Realm, Yang Chen’s understanding of the Mixed Yuan Spear Technique reached a higher level, directly mastering the Enemy Overcoming Style, just a step away from perfection.
Thus, the power of Phantom Shadows greatly increased. Before, due to his physique, he could only use a hundred spear shadows, but now he had entered the Spirit Martial Realm, enveloped in True Qi. He could easily display a thousand spear shadows, and these Qi-enhanced shadows could not be broken as easily as before.
Both his cultivation methods and martial arts level had greatly improved!
The numerous spear shadows protected him, forming an extremely strong barrier around Yang Chen, wrapping him tightly and making it impossible for anyone to get to him.
Yang Chen took out his silver spear at this point, took a step forward, left the protective circle of the Yang family, and stood at the forefront, signifying that he was ready to face everything alone.
“Spirit Martial Realm!” Zhu Yinyang was finally shocked at this point. He stared at Yang Chen incredulously and exclaimed, “How is it possible? You… you have entered the Spirit Martial Realm?”
Yang Chen spoke slowly, “I have to thank the pressure from your Horse-thief Gang for that.. If it weren’t for you, I might not have entered the Spirit Martial
Realm so soon!”
