Chapter 1058: Chapter 260: Chen Jie: Oh, You Look Surprised
Wu Mu’s Legacy!
Chen Jie looked at the letter in his hand, feeling quite emotional, he never expected to hear news of Wu Mu’s Legacy, this is news that could shake the entire world.
The most crucial part is the location marked by Zhao Ya in her letter is quite near, specifically in Chongshan Prefecture, Hunan.
This is the intelligence address obtained by the court, and currently, many people have already gone to Chongshan Prefecture.
Thus, Zhao Ya arranged to meet him there in three days, in Chongshan Prefecture.
Chen Jie looked at the letter and then found his elder brother Ni Wenjun, knowing that they wouldn’t be the only ones competing for Wu Mu’s Legacy, likely many others are preparing to seize the book.
Furthermore, there are certainly many experts, if he were to go, he might not be able to stand out, after all, he is just a mere Wolf Smoke Realm.
There must be countless masters stronger than himself, so he ought to find more allies, and Ni Wenjun is evidently a good choice.
Chen Jie even thought it would be secure if Peng Yingyu could personally take a trip, given that with a master of that caliber taking action, they might deter lesser beings and acquire this unparalleled book.
However, when Chen Jie found Ni Wenjun, he discovered that Ni Wenjun was also about to send someone to find him. He then informed Chen Jiusi that he must immediately return to Xiangyang, as King Qi, Li Siqi, is leading his army south, and Monk Peng is preparing with his people to guard against Li Siqi’s surprise attack.
So, this time he probably won’t be able to go south to Chongshan Prefecture with Chen Jie to seize the Ming King’s Legacy, Wu Mu’s Legacy.
Chen Jie, understanding the situation, frowned slightly, thinking that it seemed wise not to have outrightly joined the Maitreya Sect, otherwise, how would he position himself to go to Chongshan Prefecture to seize Wu Mu’s Legacy?
Wouldn’t he miss out on this opportunity then?
Thinking this, Chen Jie said to Ni Wenjun: “Then, elder brother, rest assured, I’ll go alone on this trip.”
Ni Wenjun said: “Then, brother, be careful, the Mulan Dog isn’t necessarily trustworthy.”
Chen Jie cupped his hands and said: “Yes, I understand, take care, elder brother.”
Ni Wenjun said: “You take care as well.”
Chen Jie left Qianjiang Prefecture that day, first returning to Huangzhou Prefecture. With three days available, there was ample time, and this time, Chen Jie planned to take only Xiao Hu and Yu Chun to Chongshan Prefecture, leaving the others in Huangzhou Prefecture.
And Huangzhou Prefecture is not far from Chongshan Prefecture in Hunan, and with Xiao Hu and Yu Chun’s pace, they would arrive within a day and night, so time was abundant. Chen Jie planned to spend a night with his two wives in Huangzhou Prefecture and head to Chongshan Prefecture the next day.
Before departure, Chen Jie talked to Xiao Hu and Yu Chun about the trip, letting them prepare, and gave one Spirit Transformation Pill, refined in Qianjiang Prefecture, to Yu Chun, allowing him to enter Energy Transformation.
This trip to Chongshan Prefecture would surely be a dragon’s den and tiger’s lair. Although Yu Chun was just going to handle odd jobs, even that required martial strength for protection.
Additionally, Chen Jie checked Xiao Hu’s strength, which had recently improved rapidly. Ever since Chen Jie gave him the “Record of Quan Divine”, Xiao Hu’s martial arts had gained a systematic enhancement.
As for whether Xiao Hu learning the Record of Quan Divine would be discovered by Elder Quan, Chen Jie felt they were already at odds, and even if discovered, it would at most be a life-and-death battle.
Moreover, Chen Jie suspected that during this trip to Chongshan Prefecture, he might very well encounter Elder Quan, after all, Wu Mu’s Legacy was also considered sacred to the Zoroastrian Sect.
Since the Zoroastrian Sect’s crushing defeat in Hebei, they’ve completely scattered, and no one knows where they have gone.
And now, with Wu Mu’s Legacy emerging, they couldn’t possibly remain unmoved.
Therefore, this trip is both an opportunity and a danger, but Chen Jie was never someone to sit and wait for death. In these turbulent times, to survive, one must fight.
Chen Jie, along with the Azure Dragon Guard, left Qianjiang Prefecture, leaving behind Zhou Chu and the Fishing Guild to organize production and expand territories.
In reflection, Chen Jie felt quite good, with the backing of the lands of three provinces, he wasn’t without accomplishment, and among the younger generation of the world, he was doing quite well.
With these thoughts, Chen Jie returned to Huangzhou Prefecture, where his wife was already waiting for him.
Chen Jie wanted to talk with her more but was pushed into Huang Wan’er’s room, the reason being that Huang Wan’er was about to give birth, likely within the next one or two months.
Chen Jie asked if preparations for birth and a midwife were ready, Su Yunjin said: “The midwife is ready, we found the best midwife in Huangzhou Prefecture, and Master Bai said she’s a skilled hand.”
Reassured, Chen Jie spent some time talking with Huang Wan’er.
Huang Wan’er, looking at Chen Jie and stroking her belly, said: “Mr. Chen, are you leaving again?”
Chen Jie said: “Hmm.”
Huang Wan’er hesitated a little and asked: “For how long?”
Chen Jie was silent, then said: “One or two months.”
Huang Wan’er, biting her lip and caressing her belly, was silent, seeing this, Chen Jie asked: “What’s wrong?”
Huang Wan’er said: “Mr. Chen, I hope the child sees his father when he’s born, can you be with me when I give birth?”
Upon hearing this, Chen Jie hesitated, he couldn’t make such a promise because he didn’t know when he would return. But seeing Huang Wan’er’s longing eyes, he still said: “Hmm, take good care of your health, I promise you, I’ll do everything I can to return by the time you give birth, to be with you and the child!”
Huang Wan’er grasped Chen Jie’s hand and said: “Hmm, I’ll wait for you…”
In this era, childbirth is a journey through the Ghost Gate, many lose their lives in the process, so at this moment, Huang Wan’er appeared somewhat heroic.
