Chapter 83 The Undying Demonic Body, the Hu Family

North of Yucheng lies the main training ground for martial arts. Even before Chen Ren arrived there, he could feel the intense energy and blood surging within him.

On the streets, martial arts practitioners carrying enormous weapons can be seen everywhere, and decadent music constantly wafts into your ears.

"Hmm~ Oh~ Ha~"

"These martial arts practitioners are rather crude," he muttered to himself. Where had he ever seen such a spectacle at Qingcheng Mountain Academy?

At this moment, even if you were walking down the street, anyone would subconsciously feel their face turn red.

[Ding: Sword Drawing Value +5]

He felt ashamed.

The teacher of the Undying Demon Body is the Hu family's patron saint. Based on the address, he is looking for the main campus of the Hu family's martial arts academy.

Since it's called a "school," it's not some small-scale operation like Xiao Qingguo's martial arts school.

Chen Ren hailed a taxi and arrived at a city center area.

The entire area covers at least tens of thousands of acres and is situated in the heart of Yucheng's bustling center.

The martial arts academy has eight gates, in accordance with the principles of the Eight Trigrams of Fuxi, namely Qian, Dui, Li, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Gen, and Kun.

The Qian Gate is the most important, and it's where the Hu family's prodigies reside. Chen Ren had read books on this topic before, otherwise he wouldn't have known which gate to enter through.

He straightened his clothes, held his head high, and strode inside.

"Sorry, Qianmen only accepts members of the Hu family."

The martial arts practitioner outside the door waved him off, saying he could try to enter through the Xun Gate.

The Xun Gate? That's in the southeast, but this place is in the northwest. I wonder how long it will take to get around there.

"Cough cough."

He coughed lightly, took out his identity token, and said, "I am a disciple of Shangqing Palace, Zhang Yunqing's personal disciple who has reached the Foundation Establishment stage. Am I not allowed to enter?"

A direct disciple of the Shangqing Palace?

The gatekeeper was taken aback. When did the Shangqing Palace start having the concept of a personal successor?

But he still shook his head apologetically and said, "I'm really sorry, only members of the Hu family are allowed to enter Qianmen."

This was also rejected, and Chen Ren's face darkened; he was somewhat displeased, but the gatekeeper was truly unyielding!

He took a deep breath and was about to turn and leave when he suddenly seemed to remember something. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a stack of hundred-yuan bills.

A rough count reveals that it amounts to tens of thousands.

"Dude, I was being rude earlier. I was really in a hurry, can you make an exception for me?"

These banknotes are dazzling.

The security guard narrowed his eyes, glanced around instinctively, and then changed his attitude:

"Oh dear, how could I do that? Just say you're a distant relative of the Hu family when you go in."

He was about to take the money from Chen Ren and send him inside when, in the next second, Chen Ren suddenly grabbed his hand and shouted:

"Look everyone, this man accepted a bribe and allowed me to enter the Qian Gate."

"I'm not a member of the Hu family, yet I was able to enter the Qian Gate. Money really can make the devil turn the millstone!"

[Ding: Sword Drawing Value +50!]

The gatekeeper stared in shock at the Shangqing Palace disciple before him, feeling a mixture of shame and anger.

You beast! Waiting for me here?

They used to just take money and do things, but today they've been tricked and screwed up! Damn it! This kid is actually going to fight to the death.

Is it really worth it for such a small amount of money?

Wait, he suddenly realized that this person was from Shangqing Palace. Shangqing Palace... No wonder they did this. How could he have forgotten about this!

"Brother! Stop talking, stop talking! Here's your money back, just go, please go!"

No matter how much he pleaded, Chen Ren refused to listen and insisted on making him suffer.

"The people passing by the gate are all from the Hu family. They're happy to watch the show. This guard is used to extorting money and favors. It's good to have someone teach him a lesson."

When the captain of the guard arrived, Chen Ren reluctantly let go of his hand.

"Don't blame me, brother. You've accumulated too much negative karma from robbing people. I'm just helping you clear it out to prevent bigger problems from arising."

He patted the latter on the shoulder, and the guard's face turned green with anger. He gritted his teeth and blurted out, "Then I should be thanking you, shouldn't I?"

[Ding: Sword drawing skill +40.]

"You're welcome." Chen Ren waved his hand, took his money, and chose to enter through the west gate.

There was a slight delay, but it's okay, the sword-drawing points have been recovered.

Upon entering the martial arts academy through the west gate, one is immediately greeted by a cacophony of offensive and offensive sounds.

"Ah~ Bro, put in a little more effort."

Chen Ren looked over in a panic and saw a burly man repeatedly smashing an iron gate against another person.

The person who was hit was not angry at all; instead, they praised the person who hit them for their skill.

hiss……

He took a few more steps and heard the sound of whips cracking continuously. Two or three people were whipping the boy in the middle.

The boy was handsome with delicate features, stood 2.3 meters tall, and had bulging muscles. Occasionally, a soft groan would escape from between his teeth.

What a load of rubbish!

Is this the daily life of a martial arts cultivator? Chen Ren was incredibly grateful to have been taken into the Shangqing Palace by Zhang Yunqing. But now he was beginning to regret it. Should he really cultivate the Undying Demon Body technique?

Or maybe we should just give up martial arts and switch to the path of immortality...

Within the Qianmen branch of the Hu family, all members are members of the Hu family, and the deeper one goes into the Qianmen branch, the higher the status of the Hu family members becomes.

Today, unusually, quite a few members of the Hu family were not practicing, but instead frequently looking towards the ancestral hall.

"Liu Quji is back."

"He's finally back. Miss Yuxian can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

"Tsk tsk, Hu Yuxian is quite formidable. After her father died, Hu Andao, who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage, has been targeting her, and she has managed to escape death several times."

"Even within the city's second lineage, they can't openly make a move, because they're taking advantage of the fact that Miss doesn't have a third-level backer."

The servants whispered among themselves. They were all of Hu family blood to some extent, but due to their lack of qualifications, they could only stay and do servant work.

At this moment, in the courtyard, Hu Yuxian was quietly pouring tea for Liu Quji.

"Uncle Liu, we are so grateful for your timely return. Otherwise, I'm afraid I wouldn't have made it through the year if I had to leave the shelter."

"Some things are complicated at the end of the year, and some things should start, so I had to come back. Among the generations of the fifth lineage, I'm afraid you are the only one who can shoulder the responsibility."

Liu Quji picked up the tea and took a sip, not feeling that there was anything wrong with him, as an outsider, having the Hu family's young lady pour him tea.

He watched this child grow up, but unfortunately her father, Hu Qianqiu, didn't survive the ordeal, which led to the current situation.

"No matter what, Uncle Liu is back, and Yu Xian can finally get a good night's sleep."

Hu Yuxian didn't intend to ask Liu Quji to help her take revenge, since this was an internal factional struggle within the Hu family, and Uncle Liu shouldn't interfere.

"I heard you were poisoned by corpse poison and almost died?"

When Liu Quji inquired about other details, he replied, "Unfortunately, I was fighting against the alien race at the time, and several days had passed before I received the news."

"Are there any lasting effects?" he asked seriously. "You have excellent potential; you can't afford any problems. They're targeting you because they're afraid of you."

"I have to thank a friend from Shangqing Palace for their help."

A look of gratitude flashed across Hu Yuxian's face: "If it weren't for him, I'm afraid I would have died in the outer city of Yucheng."
