Chapter 221: Chapter 222: Kneel Down! Commit Suicide! (1st Update) (Please Favorite, Reward, and Recommend)

"Chu Fengmian actually came out of the Holy Land alive?"

In a massive courtyard, two elders sat while a young man stood before them.

The news had been brought by this young man.

The Martial Victory Academy was a place where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold, every inch extremely precious, to have such a large courtyard within it.

The owner of this courtyard must possess an incredibly distinguished identity within Martial Victory Academy, as evidenced by the large "Chu" engraved on the entrance plaque.

The Chu family’s courtyard could only belong to one of the four great families of Martial Victory Academy, possessing such power and vastness.

"Wasn’t Chu Ning in the Holy Land? Why didn’t he kill that boy?"

The elder frowned and said, aware of the message about Emperor of Fertility’s stele on Chu Fengmian.

Indeed, when Chu Fengmian entered the Holy Land, he had informed Chu Ning there, intending for Chu Ning to kill Chu Fengmian and take the stele from him.

Yet now, Chu Fengmian had managed to leave the Holy Land unscathed.

"Could it be that Chu Ning has met with an accident?"

The elder couldn’t believe it, but he faintly sensed this possibility. Chu Ning had indeed lost contact, and now that Chu Fengmian had emerged unscathed, it was very likely Chu Ning had encountered an accident.

"Our Cheng family’s Cheng Tiangong has also lost contact."

Another elder sitting beside him spoke up solemnly.

"No matter, now that the old man Xuan Bei has left to seek the Supreme Heavenly Domain, leaving only that old servant behind, no one in Martial Victory Academy can save the boy. We will send people now to capture him."

"We must obtain the treasures on him."

...

Meanwhile, Chu Fengmian had arrived at the courtyard of the Sage Xuan Bei.

But now, the courtyard was full of countless traces of destruction, terribly dilapidated, as though it had seen numerous battles.

"What happened here?"

Chu Fengmian’s gaze turned frosty. This was the courtyard of Sage Xuan Bei, and now someone dared to fight here, leaving it so damaged.

With a thought to his Divine Sense, Chu Fengmian immediately detected a weak breath within the courtyard, which was clearly severely injured.

"Mr. Chen."

Chu Fengmian moved swiftly to the source of the breath, his face dramatically changing upon seeing Mr. Chen lying wounded on the ground.

Mr. Chen was covered in scars, with numerous punch marks, clearly beaten to a grave extent. Though not dead, had Chu Fengmian arrived even a few days later, Mr. Chen would likely have ended up crippled, if not dead.

A flash of murderous intent passed through Chu Fengmian’s eyes.

"Damn it, who did this?"

Chu Fengmian hurriedly took out several healing pills from his spatial ring and fed them to Mr. Chen.

Fortunately, Chu Fengmian had obtained the treasures of the Emperor of Fertility, and though not filled with many precious items, it did contain plenty of such pills.

He gave Mr. Chen several of the best ones, watching as the Spiritual Power began to stabilize within him.

Chu Fengmian’s expression then eased slightly.

His acquaintance with Mr. Chen wasn’t long, but Mr. Chen had helped Chu Fengmian fend off an attack from Chu Hongsha last time.

Now, seeing Mr. Chen gravely injured, seemingly beaten within his own courtyard, who could have been so audacious?

Moreover, it appeared Sage Xuan Bei was also missing; otherwise, Mr. Chen wouldn’t have found himself in such a dire situation.

Minutes later, as the medicinal effects gradually took hold, Mr. Chen slowly got up, coughing a few times, and looked up at Chu Fengmian with a weak voice.

"Young Master?"

"Mr. Chen, what happened? Who did this to you?"

Chu Fengmian asked, his gaze turning icy.

No matter who was behind this, Chu Fengmian intended to kill them.

Mr. Chen had not only helped Chu Fengmian considerably but also stood as almost a half-mentor to him within Martial Victory Academy. Now that he was injured in such a way, Chu Fengmian wouldn’t let it go without retribution.

"It was..."

Just as Mr. Chen began to speak, several presences suddenly descended into the courtyard, causing his face to change drastically.

"Young Master, run!"

"Ha ha ha, too late!"

An arrogant voice suddenly rang out as several middle-aged men walked into the courtyard, laughing boisterously.

"Old man, hand over the treasure. We came by the academy’s orders. Now that Sage Xuan Bei is gone, his treasures should rightfully be handed over to the academy."

The strengths of this group were mostly around the Wind-Commanding Realm. The leader, in the seventh layer of the Wind-Commanding Realm, was Chu Hongsha, whom Chu Fengmian had seen before.

"Young Master, they are from the Chu family! Escape quickly! I will hold them back for you!"

Mr. Chen saw them approaching and slowly stood up, intending to protect Chu Fengmian.

"Old man, you’re already gravely wounded, why persist? If you keep this up, you won’t be far from death."

Chu Hongsha looked at Mr. Chen and spoke coldly.

"Hand over the treasure quietly, don’t make us do it the hard way."

"Mr. Chen, you just rest easy, leave these people to me."

Chu Fengmian glanced at Mr. Chen and spoke softly.

"Leave it to you? And what are you supposed to be? Chu Fengmian, do you really think that a trip to the Holy Land gives you the right to confront me?"

Chu Hongsha looked at Chu Fengmian with a hint of disdain.

"Last time you barely survived from my hands, all thanks to this old man rescuing you. Now that he’s seriously injured, I’d like to see what makes you so arrogant."

"I’ll tell you, now that your backer is gone, any of us here could easily kill you!"

"Don’t bother struggling futilely. I heard you went to the Holy Land, so hand over all the treasures you obtained there. Kneel down and kowtow a few times, and maybe I’ll consider letting you live, how about that?"

As Chu Hongsha spoke, greed filled the faces of everyone else present.

Treasures from the Holy Land were something they’d all heard of, and they knew that a Martial Artist emerging from it would surely possess countless treasures.

They might not be entitled to Sage Xuan Bei’s treasures, but Chu Fengmian’s treasures were certainly up for grabs.

"With just you lot, you dare make a scene in this courtyard?"

Chu Fengmian’s eyes turned cold as he faced them.

"Everyone kneel down and take your own lives, and I, Chu, might grant you a quicker death."
