Sichuan Province is right next to Shuzhou City.
Chu Yi, accompanied by Fan Qingling, flew to the Emei Mountain range in Lefo City in half an hour.
He had originally planned to fly directly over the Chu family's residence.
However, during the flight, Chu Yi spotted through the clouds several figures that were both strange and familiar.
"Uncle? Cousin? Cousin?"
Chu Yi was somewhat surprised, not expecting to encounter a few relatives.
To be precise, they were the relatives of his original self.
What does that have to do with me, Chu Yi the transmigrator?
More precisely, Chu Yi's original self was actually an orphan, merely an adopted child picked up by the third side branch of the Chu family, with no blood relation to either the side or main branch of the Chu family.
Hmm, a double safety net, so that when he kills people from the Chu family, he won't be targeted by the auditors, right?
"Wow, what a genius author!" Chu Yi couldn't help but praise, then thought for a moment and descended quietly with Fan Qingling.
***
Atop Emei Mountain.
On the sealed-off scenic area's bluestone steps.
Several elegantly dressed individuals, clearly from the upper echelons of society, were slowly climbing upwards.
"Dad, is the main branch really going to teach us the complete martial arts techniques this time?"
A spirited and handsome young man asked excitedly.
His name was Chu Yun, a third-generation disciple of the Chu family's side branch, and Chu Yi's cousin.
Chu Yun's father, Chu Shizhong, was the elder brother of Chu Yi's adoptive father, making him Chu Yi's uncle.
"Most likely."
Chu Shizhong nodded and said, "The incident with the Evergreen Sword Saint last night must have unsettled the main branch. If they don't cultivate more powerful martial artists, the martial arts world may soon be unable to maintain its deterrent relationship with the nation."
In fact, over a year ago, realizing the crisis, the Chu family's main branch broke the family rules and began teaching martial arts techniques to the side branch.
The goal was to cultivate more martial artists to maintain a balance of power with the nation.
However, the martial arts techniques previously imparted by the main branch to the side branch were incomplete, with a degree of caution still in place.
But now, with the Evergreen Sword Saint uncovering the grand scheme of the martial arts world, annihilating the Guo family of Qingcheng, and very likely helping the nation cultivate Biotics Men,
The martial arts world was suddenly at a life-and-death crossroads.
The Chu family's main branch dared not hold back any longer, deciding to go all out in cultivating Mu Lengyu.
They also had to fully commit to training the martial artists of the side branch.
After all, the core strength of a power is also crucial.
This was why Chu Shizhong and the others were suddenly summoned back to the mountain by the main branch.
"The complete martial arts techniques…"
Excitement sparkled in Chu Yun's eyes.
In the past year, through the incomplete martial arts techniques, he had already cultivated from an ordinary person to a mid-stage body training martial artist, which by international standards, was a D-level martial artist.
This cultivation speed had already surpassed ninety-nine percent of practitioners.
Even a certain elder from the Chu family's main branch had praised Chu Yun's martial arts talent as exceptional.
This naturally filled Chu Yun with pride and self-satisfaction.
Before the main branch had taught the side branch martial arts techniques, Chu Yun was the standout among the third-generation disciples of the Chu family's side branch.
At twenty-two, he single-handedly managed a construction company with a market value of two billion, and under his leadership, it successfully went public!
Now, Chu Yun's net worth was already close to five billion, and he was only 28 years old.
Undoubtedly a business prodigy! Even surpassing some of his elders!
Like the least successful third son of the side branch's family head, who was also Chu Yi's adoptive father, Chu Yun's third uncle.
This third uncle had struggled in the business world for decades, relying on the Chu family's resources and connections, and to this date, his assets were just over two billion.
To ordinary people, he might be an unattainable top-tier tycoon.
But in Chu Yun's eyes, his third uncle's situation was simply too pitiful to bear!
How lacking in business acumen must one be to end up like this?
And now, Chu Yun not only bore the title of a business prodigy but also that of a martial arts prodigy, naturally looking down on all the third-generation juniors of the side branch with pride.
Once the main branch taught him the complete martial arts techniques, Chu Yun was confident that within a year, he could become an inner qi martial artist, and reach the peak of inner qi within three years! An SSS-level existence!
At this moment, his heart was surging with excitement.
"By the way, who exactly is the Evergreen Sword Saint? How is he so powerful?"
Chu Yun's sister, Chu Rong, suddenly asked curiously, her cute and delicate face full of gossip.
Hearing this, Chu Yun's expression became serious, and he sighed, "Little Rong, such beings are beyond our imagination, stop guessing."
Chu Yun, now a martial artist, could hardly imagine the terrifying strength of the Evergreen Sword Saint who had emerged out of nowhere.
Let alone Chu Rong, who was an ordinary person.
Chu Shizhong also said, "Indeed, that person is not someone we should concern ourselves with at our level. It's said he silently killed the head of the Guo family of Qingcheng, a mid-stage National level martial artist…"
Chu Rong exclaimed in surprise, "So, could the Evergreen Sword Saint possibly be on the same level as our main branch family head? Continental level?"
Chu Yun thought for a moment and then nodded gravely.
The path of martial arts: body training, inner qi, grandmaster, heavenly realm, divine realm, earth immortal…
According to modern Transcendent standards, body training and inner qi martial artists are just F to SSS level.
Grandmasters are Town level.
Heavenly realm is National level.
And Continental level represents the most powerful divine realm martial artists of the current age.
In the entire China martial arts world, there are no more than ten such beings.
The head of the Emei Chu family's main branch, Chu Changshan, is one of them.
The Evergreen Sword Saint is very likely at this level.
Is this something Chu Yun, a D-level body training martial artist, could even fathom?
The mere thought made his scalp tingle!
He feared that he might never reach such heights in his lifetime.
"Yo? What a coincidence!"
Just then, a mocking voice came from behind the three.
Chu Shizhong and the others were startled and turned around abruptly.
Upon recognizing the person's face, all three showed extremely astonished expressions.
As if they couldn't understand why this person would appear here.
No, not one person. There was also a tall and graceful woman dressed in sportswear, with a cold and stunning beauty, her face full of helplessness.
Chu Yun was baffled: "Little Yi? What are you doing here? And who is this girl?!"
This was simply preposterous!
How could Chu Yi, the prodigal son of his third uncle's family, appear on the way to the Chu family's main branch?
And with a beautiful girl, no less!
"What's wrong with me returning to my hometown? Can't I come back?" Chu Yi said as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
"Returning home?" Chu Yun's face was full of bewildered suspicion.
Chu Shizhong's brow furrowed, scrutinizing Chu Yi with a puzzled look.
How could Chu Yi know about the existence of the Chu family's main branch?
According to family rules, an adopted child like him had no right to know these things!
Could it be that the third uncle told his adopted son?
Thinking this, a flicker of anger rose in Chu Shizhong's heart. It was bad enough that his third brother lacked ability, but now he even dared to break the family rules? Daring to tell his adopted son about the affairs of the martial arts world?
This Chu Yi was also out of line! Not recognizing his own status?
With no blood relation to the Chu family, what right did he have to come uninvited to the main branch of the Chu family? And even bringing a female companion!
What was this nonsense? Utterly unreasonable!
Seeing Chu Shizhong's face growing darker,
Chu Yun's expression changed, and he quickly tried to smooth things over, "Dad! Little Yi is still young and doesn't know any better! Don't take it to heart, I'll handle it, I'll handle it!"
