Unyielding Defier in Martial World

Before she inquired, she had speculated that if Chu Chen were to open eight Martial Vein, it would already be shocking.    

In the end, this madman opened nine. It was rare to see a martial arts genius in a hundred years, and it was much higher than expected.    

However, how could he know that Chu Chen had truly created ten Martial Vein? If he had heard, he would probably be even more shocked.    

In the distance, Tu Musang, Zhu Xingdao and the rest looked towards Chu Chen. Seeing Yan Yuexi was chatting with him, their eyes focused.    

"Even the princess thinks so highly of him. Damn it."    

The few of them felt jealous in their hearts and threw an ice-cold look at Chu Chen.    

As if he had sensed someone's gaze, Chu Chen turned around and swept his gaze over them.    

Tu Musang, Zhu Xingdao and the rest quickly retracted their gazes, and did not dare to meet his gaze.    

"Can this group of people even be trusted?" Chu Chen didn't say it with his mouth open, but rather used sound transmission just in case.    

Yan Yuexi never thought that Chu Chen would be so cautious. He was right in front of him, and he even used a sound transmission.    

"Don't use your mouth."    

Just as Yan Yuexi was about to speak, Chu Chen's sound transmission was transmitted over again.    

After glancing at Chu Chen strangely, Yan Yuexi replied with sound transmission: "This group of people were all recruited here by me from different sects, their origins are very clear. Even though they are a bit unruly, they still believe in trust.    

"I don't know. Ever since I saw this group of people, I keep having the feeling that this is a conspiracy." After we left Mulberry City, did you notice anything amiss along the way? "    

"Something wrong?" Yan Yuexi carefully recalled, and immediately said in a daze, "There doesn't seem to be anything wrong, it's just that the atmosphere is a little heavy, because you defeated Tu Musang and the others, causing them to feel intimidated."    

A pondering look appeared in Chu Chen's eyes, "Ever since I left Mulberry City, I have frequently felt a few strange gazes staring at me from behind, so I wanted to ask if you have this feeling."    

Yan Yuexi glanced at Chu Chen, he truly did not understand why his words were so strange.    

"It should be Tu Musang and the rest, being defeated by you and feeling unconvinced, that's why they look at you with cold eyes."    

"Maybe." Chu Chen shook his head. He felt that kind of gaze, just like what he had said just now, was filled with conspiracy.    

This was a kind of feeling, a bad feeling. Since Yan Yuexi said it was reliable, then he didn't need to think too much about it.    

"Let's not talk anymore. We will arrive at Death Valley tomorrow. I want to rest early and rest up."    

"You too." Yan Yuexi stood up and walked towards her own place.    

"Since we're arriving at the battlefield tomorrow, let's hurry up and train." Chu Chen shook his head, putting aside the doubt in his heart and immersed himself in cultivation.    

Night, in this wilderness, was incomparably tranquil. The night sky was like a black cloth, and a bright moon hung in the sky, exuding an ice-cold aura.    

"There's movement?" Chu Chen suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the Blood Dragon Horse. He realised that the horse was alarmed and its hooves were sweeping about.    

"There really is a problem." Chu Chen's heart trembled. The thing he was worried about seemed to be happening soon. If this night was not peaceful, something might happen.    

Chu Chen swept his gaze across the others, and discovered that they were all asleep. Last night, the only person who had cultivated seemed to be him, and at this moment, the only person who had been shocked awake was also him.    

"If this group of people were really asleep, they wouldn't even have the chance to react if they were in danger."    

Alone, Chu Chen walked towards the direction where the Blood Dragon Horse was staring at and started to circulate his spirit energy.    

This place was very close to the Valley of Death. The enemies would know the news in advance and ambush here. They would take advantage of the darkness and wait for an opportunity to make their move.    

As he got closer, he heard a rustling sound. It was obvious that someone was there.    

"Who?" Chu Chen shouted explosively. In the silent night, it was especially ear-piercing, like a thunderclap.    

"And who are you?" In the dark night, a middle-aged man suddenly emerged. His body was filthy and his clothes were tattered.    

"Torch." This middle-aged man looked at Chu Chen vigilantly, followed by a low growl.    

There seemed to be other people behind him. Soon after, a torch was lit. The swaying flame immediately illuminated this place clearly.    

"So many people?" Chu Chen's pupils contracted as he stared at the middle-aged man behind him.    

There were more than a hundred people standing there in disarray. Their faces carried a sense of vigilance and their clothes were extremely tattered.    

Some people, with wounds on their bodies, seem to have gone through a difficult trek and become like this. "    

"We are a group of wandering martial artists. Who are you? What are you doing here?" Chu Chen's face was ice-cold.    

This was a wilderness. When he was stationed here, he had observed his surroundings, but there was no one here. At least within a circumference of five kilometers, there was no sign of human habitation.    

This group of people had obviously sneaked over in the middle of the night without even lighting a torch. It was obvious that they were up to something. For the sake of safety, he called himself a rogue cultivator.    

"Rogue cultivators, you are not enemies of Shu Dragon Country?" The expression of the middle-aged man leading the group changed slightly.    

"This is the Wind Wave Nation, we are obviously not a large Shu Dragon Country army. Could it be that you can't even tell what kind of clothes a soldier is wearing?" Chu Chen stared at them, this group of people, was definitely strange.    

"Whew!" The middle-aged man let out a sigh of relief, and the wariness on his face disappeared. He turned around and shouted to the rest of the people, "Everyone, don't worry.    

As he finished speaking, the middle-aged man retracted his gaze, turned and looked towards Chu Chen, and cupped his hands: "Young Hero, we come from other parts of the Wind Wave Nation, and because of the war, people are panicking, and things have gotten worse in every region. There are also news that the Wind Wave Nation army has been defeated, and the people from the Shu Dragon Country have all crossed the border.    

The middle-aged man's words were spoken with sincerity. Although he suspected this group of people, Chu Chen couldn't find a single flaw.    

He wanted to ask why he was hiding here in the middle of the night.    

However, the other party seemed to have already known that he would ask this question and gave them an explanation in advance. It was because they were treated as Shu Dragon Country people, that they did not dare to act rashly.    

No matter how he thought about it, what the middle-aged man had said just now was sufficient explanation.    

"What's going on?" Yan Yuexi quickly came over, and looking at all of them, he asked in shock.    

The commotion woke everyone up. They added some firewood to the bonfire to increase its brightness. Then, they quickly gathered around the bonfire.    

"This group of people claim to be citizens of the Wind Wave Nation and want to do their best, so they rushed to the battlefield and coincidentally encountered us. They thought we were people of the Shu Dragon Country, so they took advantage of the darkness to hide here. Chu Chen explained everything to Yan Yuexi simply, wanting to see what she had in mind.    

"As citizens, to dare to rush to the battlefield so loyally is the fortune of our Wind Wave Nation. It just so happens that we are there for the sake of the battlefield, you guys can come with us." Yan Yuexi said excitedly.    

In a war between two countries, what they feared the most was the instability of the people. As for the Wind Wave Nation, the most prominent problem now was riots everywhere.    

This group of people, as commoners, dared to enter the battlefield. It showed that they still had confidence in their Wind Wave Nation, making her feel gratified.    

"We shouldn't be so decisive." Chu Chen said to Yan Yuexi. He had wanted to see how she would explain it, but in the end it directly exposed his identity, and even made this group of people with unknown origins join him.    

"Why?" Yan Yuexi looked at him in puzzlement.    

"The words of this group of people are one-sided. There is no evidence to prove it. Moreover, they are civilians. How can they go to the battlefield with us?" Chu Chen said in a serious tone.    

Hearing this, Yan Yuexi was slightly startled, she had ignored these questions because she was too excited just now, but now that Chu Chen mentioned it, she realised that it was indeed inappropriate, and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. Chu Chen's thoughts were so meticulous, he analysed them so thoroughly, he did not even think about her, a princess.    

"Everyone, we are not weak commoners. We have some foundation in martial arts, and although our cultivation is not high, killing one or two enemies is still okay on the battlefield. Besides, we can cook, we can move quickly, and even if we cannot enter the battlefield, we can still be the logistics for the army." The middle-aged man said anxiously.    

"Wind Wave Nation is our homeland, and right now, we want to occupy the homeland that we depend on to survive. As citizens of Wind Wave Nation, they cannot take this lying down, so please bring us along with you."    

After he finished speaking, the middle-aged man looked at Yan Yuexi, as if it was easier to talk to than to see her as a woman, and her status shouldn't be low either.
