The two of them first went to the Yamen and had the Yamen send a carrier pigeon to Yue Buqun.
Then they returned to the Chen family and started looking around, saying that they might discover something, but they were actually waiting for night to fall.
Liancheng simply flipped through the books in the study, finding many stories about the martial arts world. He enjoyed reading them and took the opportunity to learn more about the martial arts world.
He didn't expect that the Chen family, a second-rate martial arts family, actually possessed so many books about the martial arts world.
For example, the six major sects besieging the Light Palace during the late Yuan Dynasty, or Zhang Sanfeng and the Seven Wudang Heroes. These stories were rarely mentioned in this era.
Liancheng became increasingly suspicious that the Chen family was hiding something.
So Liancheng pulled Linghu Chong to read with him.
At first, Linghu Chong was reluctant, but he quickly became engrossed, even saying, "Anyway, the Chen family was slaughtered, these are ownerless, we can take them back to the sect later and show them to our junior brothers and sisters."
Liancheng agreed, saying it was good for passing the time when they were free.
Furthermore, there might be information about the Zhu Wu Linked Villa, which would make it easier to find the Nine Yang Divine Art.
At this moment, Liancheng suddenly saw a passage and was stunned:
"In the past, the two masters of the Xuanming Sect, Lu Zhangke and He Biweng, had their martial arts skills destroyed by Zhang Wuji, the leader of the Ming Sect, and were subsequently pursued by countless enemies. However, most of the enemies were not seeking revenge, but rather coveting the Xuanming Divine Palm of the two Xuanming masters..."
The two Xuanming masters! Xuanming Divine Palm!
Liancheng narrowed his eyes, as if grasping something, and couldn't help but guess.
After all, the Xuanming Divine Palm was a type of cold palm. If the Chen family's ancestors were lucky enough to obtain it, then it made sense.
He immediately rummaged through the pile of books, searching for a long time before finally finding the Chen family genealogy. The genealogy didn't just record identities and names, but also some related stories.
Soon, Liancheng found the record of the Chen family ancestors during the late Yuan Dynasty.
Indeed, several Chen family ancestors had died at the hands of the two Xuanming masters!
"In other words, the Chen family ancestors also sought revenge on the defeated two Xuanming masters, and successfully obtained the inheritance of the Xuanming Divine Palm? The purpose of the killer in attacking the Chen family was to get the Xuanming Divine Palm?!"
Liancheng looked further down and discovered that a subsequent generation of the Chen family had created records of cold palms. It was too much of a coincidence.
The Chen family had sought revenge on the two Xuanming masters, and not long after their death, someone in the Chen family created cold palms. They were practically treating people like fools.
However, since the Chen family possessed the inheritance of the Xuanming Divine Palm, why were they so impoverished?
No matter what, the Xuanming Divine Palm could only be broken by the Nine Yang Divine Art. Such a superior palm technique, as a family heirloom, only managed to become second-rate. It was unbelievable!
"Senior brother, come here!"
Liancheng called Linghu Chong over and told him his guess.
Linghu Chong was astonished: "Is that really the case? But is this Xuanming Divine Palm really that powerful? If that's true, how come the Chen family ended up like this?"
Liancheng rolled his eyes: "You don't understand, do you? Think about the Lin family's Seventy-Two Moves of the Pi Xie Sword Art! Lin Yuantu was once a formidable figure in the martial arts world, but now Lin Zhennan is a piece of trash. The martial art is powerful, but it's useless if the descendants can't learn it! I guarantee you, the Xuanming Divine Palm is much stronger than the so-called Ice Cold True Qi!"
"Really?!"
When Linghu Chong heard this, he was no longer sleepy. "That means if we find the Xuanming Divine Palm and have Master learn it, wouldn't it be easy to defeat Zuo Lengchan?"
Liancheng didn't deny it: "That's true, but we need to get our hands on it first!"
Liancheng hadn't expected that taking on this bounty would lead to such information, even the lost Xuanming Divine Palm had appeared.
If Yue Buqun learned the Xuanming Divine Palm, it would be stronger than learning the Pi Xie Sword Art, after all, it didn't require self-castration, and the Xuanming Divine Palm was truly powerful. Without the Nine Yang Divine Art, it all depended on who could counter it!
Zuo Lengchan's Ice Cold True Qi was nothing, not even worthy of carrying the Xuanming Divine Palm's shoes!
Since there was a chance to get it, they should try their best to obtain it. Let Old Yue learn it, it would save him from constantly being worried.
However, if they found the Nine Yang Divine Art later, Old Yue probably wouldn't be able to practice it. But it wouldn't be a big problem, Old Yue might only be seeking powerful strength, and nothing else mattered to him.
Moreover, the Xuanming Divine Palm didn't require self-castration, which gave it an advantage over the Pi Xie Sword Art!
Linghu Chong said decisively: "We must get it! I don't want to see Master constantly wary of enemies because of his insufficient strength. Master should possess greater strength, so the Xuanming Divine Palm must be obtained!"
Liancheng also became serious: "Then let's turn the Chen family upside down! If it was taken by the Demon Cult, then we'll take it back!"
The two of them immediately took action, first checking the study for any secret compartments. When they didn't find anything, they went to Chen Nan and Chen Feng's rooms to search, but still found nothing.
Yue Buqun arrived sooner than they expected.
It wasn't far from Huashan to Huayin County. Upon receiving the news, Yue Buqun worried about his disciples' safety and rushed over using the Lingbo Weibu, appearing somewhat disheveled.
Only when he saw his two disciples safe and sound did he finally relax.
The current Old Yue was not the ruthless person from the original story, but truly cared about his disciples.
Furthermore, these two disciples were crucial to the future of the Huashan Sect, he couldn't ignore them. He even regretted letting his two disciples take on this bounty when he received the news.
Thankfully, his disciples were fine.
Linghu Chong quickly pulled Yue Buqun to the Chen family and quickly explained Liancheng's speculation.
Yue Buqun's eyes lit up after listening: "A martial art stronger than the Ice Cold True Qi? Is that true? Why haven't I ever heard of it?"
Liancheng hurriedly said: "Master, I've read some ancient records and learned a bit about it. This Xuanming Divine Palm was created by the Hundred-Loss Old Man, a hundred years ago. The Hundred-Loss Old Man once swept through the martial arts world with this martial art, but was defeated by Zhang Sanfeng. This martial art was later inherited by the Hundred-Loss Old Man's two disciples, known as the two Xuanming masters. Several Chen family ancestors died at the hands of the Xuanming Divine Palm.
As recorded in the Chen family's collection, the two Xuanming masters were stripped of their martial arts skills by the leader of the Ming Sect. Countless enemies sought revenge, including the Chen family, who somehow obtained the inheritance of the Xuanming Divine Palm. This is my speculation.
However, the Chen family's cold palms were created shortly after the death of the two Xuanming masters, which is a bit too coincidental. Additionally, the Chen family's extermination also makes sense, as the Xuanming Divine Palm was obviously targeted. The culprit is either the Demon Cult or the Songshan Sect!"
Yue Buqun nodded repeatedly, acknowledging Liancheng's deduction.
At the same time, his heart burned with excitement.
He didn't expect the Xuanming Divine Palm to be so powerful. The Hundred-Loss Old Man had actually challenged Zhang Sanfeng.
Who was Zhang Sanfeng? He was the legendary martial arts figure of the martial arts world, a figure comparable to the Buddhist Bodhidharma. The Hundred-Loss Old Man, who could challenge Zhang Sanfeng, how could the Xuanming Divine Palm be weak?
If he could obtain the Xuanming Divine Palm, then Zuo Lengchan's Ice Cold True Qi would be nothing!
