Chapter 336: Chapter 336 Held On

"Musashi!"

Under the surprised gazes of Chen Wang and Chen Kun, following Chen Baiqiang’s loud shout, a black figure appeared like a wraith.

The figure was clad in black, with a black conical hat, and their face concealed by a black veil hanging from the hat, making it impossible to discern whether the individual was male or female.

But just standing there, the figure exerted such an overwhelming pressure on Chen Wang and Chen Kun that they found it extremely difficult to breathe.

What shocked Chen Wang was that this pressure was not deliberately emitted but was inherent to the person’s presence.

"In five minutes, lead the Third Squad of Dark Guards and follow my son, Chen Wang, to the Jiangcheng City Song Family. During this period, obey all of my son’s commands!"

Chen Baiqiang issued the order to Musashi.

"Yes!"

A cold, mechanical voice emanated from beneath the black conical hat.

Both brothers, Chen Wang and Chen Kun, had their pupils shrink suddenly because they recognized that Musashi’s voice was that of a young woman.

After acknowledging Chen Baiqiang’s command, Musashi disappeared as swiftly and mysteriously as she had appeared.

Truly, arriving without a shadow and leaving without a trace.

Chen Wang stared intently at Chen Baiqiang and asked, "Dad, what is going on here?"

Chen Kun also looked towards Chen Baiqiang with a bewildered face.

Chen Baiqiang spoke in a grave voice, "Outsiders only know that the strongest in the Chen Family is Shen Tulie, but that is not the case. Our Hidden Guard is the most formidable force, and the Musashi you just met is a Martial Artist within the Energizing Skill Peak Realm."

Upon hearing this, both Chen Wang and Chen Kun’s eyes widened.

With a gulp of saliva and a trace of excitement, Chen Kun blurted out, "Does our Chen Family really have such an incredible existence?"

Still angered by Chen Kun’s disgraceful actions, Chen Baiqiang snorted coldly and said, "Had this good-for-nothing not led a doomed assault on the Song Family, would I need to deploy Hidden Guards at a time like this?"

"Let me tell you, the Hidden Guard is the Chen Family’s greatest secret, consisting of thirty Martial Artists, all of whom have mastered Energizing Skill!"

Even Chen Wang was shocked to hear this and exclaimed, wide-eyed, "The Chen Family actually has thirty Energizing Skill Martialists?"

Chen Baiqiang nodded and continued, "Don’t be too proud. All of this is thanks to your grandfather, who began to establish the Hidden Guard in secret during his tenure as Family Head. Over the years, the Chen Family has nearly exhausted most of its wealth on nurturing them."

"It can be said that the Hidden Guard is the sharp edge cultivated by two generations of Family Heads at great expense from Chen Family resources!"

"Among the thirty Hidden Guards, there are only two within the Energizing Skill Peak Realm, five in the Energizing Skill Late Stage Realm, ten in the Energizing Skill Middle Stage Realm, and thirteen in the Energizing Skill Initial Stage Realm."

"The Hidden Guard is divided into three squads, each composed of ten members, and Musashi is the captain of the Third Squad. In a while, Musashi will lead the Third Squad to follow you to the Song Family."

"You just need to remember one thing: the Chen Family must not be insulted by anyone!"

Chen Wang became deadly serious and immediately responded loudly, "Yes!"

A team composed of ten Energizing Skill Martialists, including one within the Energizing Skill Peak Realm, such a lineup would likely spell death even for a fighter who had just entered the King Realm.

Chen Wang understood that Chen Baiqiang wanted him to lead the Third Squad of Dark Guards to annihilate the Song Family.

Simultaneously, it was also an opportunity to flex the Chen Family’s muscles to the outside world and to generate momentum for his upcoming appointment as the Deputy Commander of the East Sea Battle Domain.

"Dad, I want to go with my brother to destroy the Song Family, too!"

Chen Kun clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth.

The humiliation he experienced at the Song Family was a lifelong disgrace, and he wanted to personally seek revenge and trample Tang Zhonghan underfoot.

"Still not embarrassed enough?"

Chen Baiqiang said coldly, "You just stay at home obediently; now is not the time for you to show your face."

Despite his reluctance, Chen Kun didn’t dare to contradict Chen Baiqiang and could only agree with his head downcast.

Soon after, Chen Wang personally led the Third Squad of Dark Guards away from the Chen Family.

On the other side, at the Jiangcheng City Song Family.

Lu Yaozong had also arrived and, seeing that Qin Chuan had not come out yet, became somewhat anxious and said, "Haven’t you gone to check on him? It’s been so long, how has he not recovered yet? There couldn’t have been a problem during the treatment, could there?"

"Impossible!"

Sun Xiude hastily retorted, his voice grave, "The teacher must still be absorbing the treasures completely, so the healing is still ongoing."

Lu Yaozong said with a bitter smile, "It’s not that I am being impatient, it’s just that time is really running out! Tomorrow is the day Liu Kuangren has set for the duel. If he misses this fight, the face of the Shen Zhou Battle Domain will be swept clean."

"Hmph!"

Others might fear Lu Yaozong, but Sun Xiude didn’t. He said indifferently, "If it weren’t for the teacher using the Battle Domain’s treasures, I really wouldn’t want the teacher to agree to represent the Battle Domain in battling Liu Kuangren."

"I don’t believe such a large Battle Domain can’t produce a single strong person who can defeat Liu Kuangren. You are clearly just worried that if a Battle Domain strong person takes action and fails, the Battle Domain will lose face.

"But if the teacher takes action and loses, it won’t tarnish the Battle Domain’s reputation."

Lu Yaozong wore a pained expression and dared not retort.

After all, they indeed needed Qin Chuan to take action now, and offending Sun Xiude wouldn’t do any good.

Lu Yaozong gave a forced smile and said, "Then I’ll wait a bit longer."

At this moment, inside the mansion where Qin Chuan was staying.

The liquid in the wooden tub had become clear, but Qin Chuan was still sitting cross-legged. If it weren’t for his sudden movements like a water buffalo earlier, Dongfang Yiren would have suspected that Qin Chuan was dead.

"According to Saintly Hand Sun’s words, the clearing of the water means that Qin Chuan has completely absorbed the Five-Colored Fruit and the Tianshao Vine. The pain in my body has almost entirely vanished as well, but why hasn’t he woken up yet?"

Dongfang Yiren’s beautiful brows were tightly furrowed with an expression full of worry.

She looked at a wooden box next to the tub and murmured to herself, "Could it be that the amount of treasures wasn’t enough, and we will have to use that last unnamed treasure after all?"

Sun Xiude had specifically instructed her that if, after absorbing the Five-Colored Fruit and Tianshao Vine, Qin Chuan still couldn’t recover, then she should let Dongfang Yiren use that treasure resembling a small sapling.

This was also a gamble, betting that the unknown treasure would aid in the recovery of Qin Chuan’s five senses.

But Sun Xiude had also mentioned that since the properties of the treasure were not clear, if it was incompatible with the recovery of Qin Chuan’s senses, not only would his condition not improve, it might even worsen.

For a while, Dongfang Yiren felt torn and conflicted in her heart.

"Qin Chuan, how exactly are you? Please wake up!"

Dongfang Yiren’s eyes reddened as she looked towards Qin Chuan, her face full of prayers.

However, Qin Chuan showed no response, sitting as still as an old monk in meditation within the tub.

Another ten minutes passed, and Qin Chuan still gave no sign of reaction.

Dongfang Yiren bit her lip and said, "Qin Chuan, you have to hold on!"

With that, she opened the third wooden box, took out the sapling-like treasure, and was about to swallow it.

But at that moment, an astonishing aura burst from the small sapling, which spontaneously left Dongfang Yiren’s hand and hovered in the air, slowly moving towards Qin Chuan.
