Rebirth of the Peak Young Master
Chapter 489: Components

Chapter 489: Chapter 489: Components

After all, with so many cultivators being attacked or even annihilated, it was enough to shake the entire cultivation world on Earth.

Because the attackers had two distinct traits—youth and immense power—some immediately thought of Yang Tian after one revelation after another.

After all, apart from Yang Tian, no other young person could achieve such feats.

But this thought was quickly dismissed!

Although Yang Tian’s age and strength matched the attackers, over the years, certain patterns had been observed.

That is to say, although Yang Tian had been hailed worldwide as the God of Killing, all those he killed or defeated had, without exception, wronged him first!

This was clearly different from the attackers!

The attackers struck indiscriminately, seemingly without any rhyme or reason!

Moreover, those who were attacked and destroyed were cultivators hailing from all corners of the globe. Even with his power, Yang Tian could not possibly be everywhere at once.

Then who were the attackers? Where and when would they appear next? The possibility of becoming a target had become the focal point of concern for cultivators everywhere.

Just as the world puzzled over the attackers’ identities, an incident in China unveiled the truth at last!

One month after the attacks.

At the headquarters in Chinese Yanjing, Chen Wenbin was closely monitoring the devastated spiritual realm in China.

Suddenly, Long Hou burst into the room, panic written all over his face. "Chief Chen, something... something terrible has happened!"

"Something big? Another sect attacked?" Chen Wenbin was momentarily confused and asked.

"No... no! It’s not that! It’s about Long Quan, who you sent to investigate this matter!"

Long Hou stammered, "Long Lin, he... he isn’t dead yet, but you... you need to see him at once!"

Chen Wenbin almost leapt out of his chair, walking swiftly towards the door without saying a word.

Soon, under Long Hou’s guidance, Chen Wenbin arrived at the headquarters’ medical bay.

Upon seeing Long Lin’s condition, Chen Wenbin couldn’t help but take a sharp breath.

In his memory, Long Lin was always energetic and indomitable. But now, he lay helpless in the hospital bed, barely clinging to life. His entire body was charred black, as though he had been set ablaze.

In addition, Long Quan was covered in crisscrossing wounds, scorched flesh clinging stubbornly to his injuries.

Surrounding him, medical staff worked frantically to attach countless pieces of medical apparatus to Long Lin.

Faced with this sight, Chen Wenbin suppressed his anger and turned toward the roaring Long Hou. "What the hell happened?"

"I don’t know. He came back like this, and as soon as he returned, he fainted!"

Long Hao quickly elaborated, "Chief Chen, that’s not our only problem. Do something quickly! Long Lin’s dantian—it’s shattered! I’ve temporarily stabilized the damage using my Inner Strength, but if we don’t find a solution soon, I’m afraid... I’m afraid Long Lin will be crippled!"

Crippled!

Hearing this, Chen Wenbin’s expression immediately darkened.

Long Quan, as a member of the Dragon Clan and a leader of the Qilin Clan’s five combat groups, had contributed immensely to mediating disputes among warriors in China.

If he were to be crippled, it would mark a monumental loss for China—one Chen Wenbin could not allow to happen.

Without delay, Chen Wenbin summoned a guard and commanded, "Fetch my credentials and head to Lingtian Tower. Request the presence of Elder Long Li on my behalf!"

"Understood!"

The guard immediately retrieved the documents and rushed out.

Approximately ten minutes later, the guard returned, followed by an elderly man with white hair. This was none other than Elder Long Li, the former leader of the Dragon Group and previous master of the Lingtian Tower!

"Elder Long Li..."

Before Chen Wenbin could finish speaking, Elder Long Li raised a hand to stop him. Then, he swiftly moved to Long Lin’s side, placing his hand over the shattered dantian.

"Such violent heat! Clearly, they could’ve killed him with one decisive blow, but instead, they deliberately infused his meridians with scorching inner energy to shatter his dantian. This arrogance..."

"Could it be Chenn Yuanba, another aside from Yang Tian?"

Chen Wenbin and Long Hao exchanged a glance, nodding slightly at Elder Long Li’s remark.

After all, in today’s world, if Yang Tian was deemed unrivaled among mortals, then Chenn Yuanba, the only known Scattered Immortal in existence, was the second most formidable individual without question!

As for the attackers from last month, there had been rumors about their connection to the Three Sages. Yet, due to a lack of direct evidence, no confirmation could be made.

Chen Wenbin mulled over his thoughts, then glanced back at the gravely injured Long Lin before decisively saying, "Since this is the case, there’s no time to waste. Let us head to Hu Yi Villa and seek Elder Shen, the Old War God, for help."

"Agreed!"

Elder Long Li nodded faintly in approval.

Now that a decision was made, Long Hou dared not hesitate. With everyone’s cooperation, he quickly made arrangements. Within just ten minutes, Long Heng was placed in a vehicle with a medical bed.

Soon after, the four of them were en route to the Hu Yi Villa, home to the Shen Family.

Upon hearing of Long Li’s dire condition, Chenn Yuanba—Elder Shen himself—spoke no unnecessary words and immediately set to work.

Two hours passed.

As they anxiously waited, Chenn Yuanba finally emerged from the room, exhaling a breath of relief. "The boy’s dantian has been restored, but for six months, he must avoid using Inner Strength lest the damage becomes irreversible!"

Sighs of relief filled the air!

Standing by the doorway, Chen Wenbin and Long Hao finally felt the weight lift off their chests. Elder Long Li even stepped forward to bow deeply to Chenn Yuanba, saying, "Thank you, Old War God Shen, for saving my disciple."

"No need for thanks!"

Chenn Yuanba raised the three men with a wave of his hand, then asked them to share their story.

Neither Chen Wenbin nor Long Hao dared to hold anything back. They recounted the string of global attacks, as well as the mission to send Long Li to investigate in China.

As Chenn Yuanba and Elder Long Li listened, their brows furrowed deeply.

When the recounting concluded, Elder Long Li let out a cold snort and stated, "It seems undeniable now. My disciple may not possess sufficient strength, but for someone to challenge China like this—especially after Yang Tian imposed the ’Forbidden Air Combat Ordinance for China’—is brazen! These must be those attackers!"

At this, Elder Long Li frowned again and asked, "But who are the attackers? Is it true, as legends claim, that they wield power equivalent to Scattered Immortals?"

His gaze instinctively fell upon Chenn Yuanba, Chen Wenbin, and Long Hao.

For in the current world, Chenn Yuanba was the only individual among the Three Sages, and only he could deliver judgment on such matters.

Chenn Yuanba merely shook his head slightly; he gave no reply. Instead, he suddenly rose, walked toward the villa’s backyard, and lifted his gaze toward the heavens. "There’s no need to guess anymore. They’ve already arrived."

Arrived?

Who had come?

Were they the attackers?

Before Chen Wenbin could fully process the situation, a mocking, arrogant laugh rang through the air: "Hahaha! As expected, this place is quite interesting. Initially, I thought it was merely hearsay about Scattered Immortals, but seeing an old fellow like you here makes things much more amusing!"

"Who’s there?!"

The group’s heads whipped skyward upon hearing the voice.

Suddenly, the sound of wind tearing through the air pierced their ears. Soon after, three crimson-clad youths descended slowly into the Shen villa’s backyard.

At the sight of these visitors, both Elder Long Quan and Long Bao grew visibly grave.

There was no doubt—these three individuals were some of the most powerful beings above the Divine World!

Among the three, the silent young man emanated an oppressiveness so overwhelming that even Long Hou, despite his years in divine-tier combat, felt utterly stifled.
