High Martial World: I Gain Passive Skills Daily-Chapter 83 - 82: Do You Feel Discontent?

Fan Chuan swiftly recalled in his mind who Fan Hailong and the Cao Bang might have offended.

Among these people, how many possess the cultivation of the Innate Realm, or could find help from those in the Innate Realm...

When he came out today, although he wasn’t fully armed, he was accompanied by two masters of the Nine Pulses, which is why he dared to intimidate that young sister of the Chen Family.

Even if Chen An were here, he would have to force a smile and not dare to say a word more.

Otherwise, he would be declaring himself an enemy of the Cao Bang!

Fan Chuan originally wanted to use Chen Ning to establish a demonstration after the arrival of this Civilization Official, and to probe the attitude of the Chen Family.

He didn’t expect, however, that a dark horse would suddenly appear...

Someone who could, in an instant, kill two Nine Pulses masters without them having any power to resist—other than someone of the Innate, who else could it be!

But the Cao Bang had long been dominating Jishao County for many years, with most former enemies fading into obscurity, never to rise again.

The other factions, even if they disliked the Cao Bang, had received enough greasing from them over the years; why would they suddenly act so decisively?

Moreover, according to the intelligence of the Cao Bang, no factions in Jishao County excelled at sound-based attacks...

Fan Chuan’s face changed as he even considered the possibility that today’s poetry gathering might simply be a trap set by the Chen Family.

Had they anticipated the Cao Bang’s intention to strike against the Chen Family and deliberately lured him into the trap?

But upon thinking over and over, he couldn’t figure out how the Chen Family could afford to hire someone of the Innate Realm?

Fan Chuan remained silent, and the voice from the small building spoke again:

"What, unwilling to do it yourself? It seems the horizons of the Young Master of the Cao Bang aren’t very wide after all."

"The Cao Bang has nurtured you with difficulty; you must think of the Cao Bang."

"If you’re unwilling now, in the future, you may have to beg me to allow you to cut out your own tongue as atonement."

The voice was leisurely, yet everyone present couldn’t help but sweat.

With these words, the conflict was no longer just with Fan Chuan, but with the entire Cao Bang...

Most people were eager to avoid offending the Cao Bang, fearing enmity, but this person seemed intent on escalating the situation with the Cao Bang!

However, in the corner of everyone’s eyes lay the bodies scattered across the ground, and their hearts felt numb, strangely finding such arrogance understandable.

Fan Chuan also realized he had encountered a tough character unafraid of the Cao Bang. He took a deep breath, tugged at the corners of his mouth, bent down to pick up a sword, and said slowly:

"Well... I’m just thinking about the most efficient way to do it."

The words carried a fearless spirit.

In reality, he just wanted to buy some time.

Because at the moment the two Nine Pulses masters were killed, he had already crushed a message stone used for communication, notifying an Innate Realm of Cao Bang whom he had previously entrusted to deliver a message.

At this moment, the person had already arrived...

Chen Ning noticed a glint of malice flash in Fan Chuan’s eyes, and she instantly recalled a piece of intelligence she’d seen in the study, about the current distribution of Cao Bang’s force.

Fan Chuan should have another person in the Innate Realm with him!

Moreover, it’s no ordinary Innate Realm, but a Void Innate!

Chen Ning’s pupils contracted. She didn’t have any cultivation and didn’t know if the Innate Realm had arrived, but since that senior had stepped in to help them, she couldn’t sit idly by!

Moreover, if that senior were to suffer, they probably wouldn’t be able to leave Xianyu Nunnery today...

Chen Ning hastily shouted towards the small building, "Senior, be careful!"

Fan Chuan’s expression changed, and he turned sharply towards Chen Ning, his gaze transforming from its former covetousness to something menacing.

Apparently, he realized something too.

How could Chen Ning know there was another Innate Realm beside him?!

Although Fan Chuan was the Young Master, Fan Hailong intended for him to keep a low profile to avoid unwanted attention, so they didn’t publicly show much regard for him or assign many guards.

It seems this test of the Chen Family was truly successful!

But his mind remained calm, for that was a Void Innate, not some random nobody who could be easily dealt with!

Looking across the twelve counties of the Liang Kingdom, the total number of those in the Innate Realm was less than thirty.

Innate Void Forces were even rarer.

He couldn’t believe the Chen Family could summon such a master!

Fan Chuan’s lips curled into a cold smile, determined that soon, this arrogant fellow would kneel before him and cut out his own tongue!! 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Making him swallow his words and his bloody tongue together!

A figure shrouded in black, wearing a hood, suddenly appeared like a phantom. Then, as if no one was there to stop it, it crossed the barrier of the small building and eerily slipped into the room like a wisp of smoke.

Upon seeing that the guard had entered the small building, it seemed that the people inside were unaware.

Fan Chuan immediately felt at ease, his smile growing wider.

But Chen Ning’s heart sank with a thud, and she couldn’t help but worry for that senior who acted righteously.

Sadness welled up within her as she clutched the book to her heaving chest, feeling a sense of injustice. It was clear that Fan Chuan was targeting her, and only she was supposed to bear this.

Little did she expect that after witnessing the persecution of her two classmates, a stranger would also be implicated...

Suddenly, a familiar voice echoed from the small building.

"Oh, how did a rat sneak in here?"

Chen Kuang looked at the revealed guard of Fan Chuan and placed his hand on the zither strings with a faint smile.

The black figure had been frozen in place since entering, not daring to move, much less kill anyone; he didn’t even dare entertain such a thought!

The reason was none other than the terrifying aura emanating from the blue-robed young man seated in front of him...

Qi Sibai from the Observatory, ranked thirty-fourth by Canglang, Moon Embrace Realm.

Crossing three Great Realms — for mere mortals, he was almost like an Immortal!

Qi Sibai silently regarded the black figure, feeling that the young master of Cao Bang had truly become arrogantly blind to everything.

This wasn’t stupidity, but arrogance; a habitual arrogance borne of long-standing experiences.

He subconsciously assumed that in Jishao County, no one could balance Cao Bang.

In the Innate Realm... solely by the imposing aura from his free-flowing Spiritual Qi, he could directly suppress them into immobility.

Chen Kuang glanced at Qi Sibai, cupped his hands, and smiled:

"Looks like I’ll have to borrow Brother Qi’s name for some fake prestige this time."

Qi Sibai shook his head: "It’s fine. I can’t stand such behavior either, just helping Brother Chen a little."

"Besides, the master of Xianyu Nunnery is also a friend of mine, so I’m helping him uphold some order."

He glanced at the window and sighed:

"This barrier couldn’t even stop an Innate. It’s truly shoddy; I’ll have to properly talk to him about it later."

Chen Kuang: "..."

Brother Qi, is it possible that in the world of mortals, the Innate Realm is already considered top tier?

Qi Sibai picked up the teacup in front of him and casually flung the tea out.

In an instant, the tea transformed into a barrage of long arrows made of condensed water, piercing through the black figure and, with undiminished force, directly propelled him out of the room!

"Bang!"

A figure burst through the window from the small building, flying out like an arrow from a bowstring, crashing down in front of the pavilion!

The marble tiled ground of the garden was smashed into a deep pit!

Dust scattered, and Fan Chuan’s smile froze on his face, his eyes widened, and he showed an expression of disbelief.

But soon, his rigid expression was shattered once more.

Several arrows made of tea water were embedded in the black figure, with one remaining, shooting straight at Fan Chuan’s face.

Fan Chuan couldn’t even react before the water arrow pierced through his jaw, and a tongue inside was directly threaded through.

"Ah!"

Fan Chuan screamed, his mouth open, the severed tongue immediately fell out and landed on the ground.

The water arrow instantly reverted to tea, flowing out of his mouth, making him look pathetically as if he were drooling.

Realizing the situation, he trembled, looked at the corpse on the ground, hurriedly crawled to pick up his tongue, his eyes red with rage, he pointed at Chen Ning, then at himself, and mumbled: "Uh uh uh uh uh!!!"

Chen Ning stared at Fan Chuan in a daze, her mouth agape, bewildered.

The voice, however, seemed to understand Fan Chuan’s meaning, leisurely said:

"You mean ’she also called the senior’? Oh..."

Chen Kuang chuckled and said, "She’s young, calling out a few words is fine, but do you feel unconvinced?"

Fan Chuan breathed heavily, his body trembling violently, but he dared not speak. Finally, holding his own severed tongue, in pain and anxiety, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.
