Chapter 3539 Broken Sword in the Back

Xu Ping added: "After taking the position of commander, Yang Chui's life must not be spared. Otherwise, when he recovers from his injuries, he will definitely make trouble."

Xu Lei nodded, glanced at Xu Huai, and said: "It should not be too difficult for the head of the family and the Xiao family to join forces to kill the seriously injured Yang Chui."

"This matter must be kept secret. If it is leaked, the Yang family will be prepared and the matter will not be accomplished."

Xu Huai reminded everyone, and then said: "The most urgent thing is that we still have to find a way to get the black bead from the hands of the Yang family and exchange it for Chang Ci's life."

Xu Ping said: "We have spies in the Yang family, and we can let them investigate the matter of the black bead now. However, there are only three days, and I am afraid it will be too late."

Xu Huai thought for a while and said: "Let's investigate first. If there is no news within three days, I will go to Yang Chui in person and get straight to the point and ask him to hand over the black bead."

After everyone discussed, they left.

...

Chen Yang knew that he could not go back to the place he rented before, so he could only find another place.

He did not plan to rent a house, but went to the slums at the bottom of the underground city and searched for uninhabited caves.

This place was too shabby, and most people would rather open up new areas than live here, so there were not many people and some empty caves.

After walking for a while, Chen Yang suddenly sensed a faint fluctuation of true energy coming from behind him.

Although it was very weak, he had a strong sense of perception and still found it.

But the strange thing was that this true energy was very unstable, and it seemed that it could collapse at any time, and it felt like it was seriously injured.

"Immortal Peak!"

Chen Yang's face changed, and he couldn't believe that there were immortal peak cultivators in the slums.

This realm was not something he could deal with now.

He immediately suppressed his cultivation to the extraordinary realm, and looked back. Although the light was dim, he could still see clearly that it was an old man.

The old man had gray hair and looked very old, but he was eight feet tall, wearing a black cloak, walking like a dragon and a tiger, and had an extraordinary momentum.

Behind him, there was no follower, and it seemed that he was taking a walk here.

Chen Yang took a closer look and found that the old man was observing the situation in the slums. When he saw some people living in hardship, the old man frowned from time to time, his eyes full of pity, regret, and self-blame.

Strange, what kind of person would have such emotions?

Chen Yang was wondering when the old man walked past him.

The cloak was slightly raised, and Chen Yang looked closely and found that there was a broken sword stuck in the back of the old man, piercing his spine.

After the majestic wind passed, the cloak fell, covering the old man's back, and the broken sword could no longer be seen.

The old man behaved normally. If Chen Yang hadn't seen the broken sword, he would never have known that the old man would be in such a situation.

Suddenly, he also understood why the old man's true energy was unstable.

It would be strange if the true energy could be stable with a sword stuck in the back.

"Who is this old man?"

Chen Yang was secretly puzzled, thinking that the old man was interesting and weird.

At this moment, the old man walked towards a child, squatted down, and seemed to be hurt by the wound on his back. He grinned in pain, then smiled kindly and said to the child: "Little guy, you are playing here, where are your parents?"

The bald boy, about four or five years old, wearing ragged clothes, was playing with stones.

Hearing the old man's words, he turned his head and said with a smile: "They all went to work."

"Oh, where do they work?" the old man asked.

The child said, "It seems that they are opening up the underground city. I haven't seen them for several days."

"Maybe it won't be long before we don't have to live in the underground city."

The old man smiled, took out a spiritual stone, hesitated, and changed it to a small sword, handed it to the child, and said, "It's for you."

"My mother said that we can't take things from strangers."

The child shook his head, then ran away and turned back and said, "Thank you, grandpa."

The old man smiled awkwardly, put the small sword into the ring unhappily, and muttered to himself, "The underground city is not exposed to the sun. Whether it is the training conditions or the living conditions, it is far worse than the ground. If we can defeat the floating island this time and enter the safe zone, it will be great."

Shaking his head, the old man sighed, "I really don't understand why the people on the floating island are unwilling to coexist peacefully with the underground city? Isn't it better for everyone to live together in the safe zone?"

Hearing the old man's words, Chen Yang's eyes lit up.

This old man is at the peak of the immortal realm, and he said such words again. He must be of extraordinary status.

As if sensing Chen Yang's gaze, the old man turned his head and smiled at Chen Yang, saying: "Haha, I was just talking casually just now, sorry to make you laugh."

Chen Yang admired the old man very much, and immediately bowed and said: "No, senior is worried about the future of the underground city, I admire you in my heart, how can I laugh at you."

The old man looked at Chen Yang, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, and asked: "The underground city is short of resources, especially the planting industry is difficult, cotton and cloth are rare and expensive, but your clothes are very delicate, obviously worth a lot of money. People like you should live in high places, why come to this slum?"

Chen Yang did not hide it, saying: "I fled here."

"Oh?"

The old man did not expect Chen Yang to be so straightforward, and showed a look of surprise on his face, saying: "So, you have an enemy, so you hide here?"

"That's about it."

Chen Yang nodded.

The old man smiled and said, "I won't ask you the reason. If you are a bad guy, we won't be able to continue the conversation."

Chen Yang said, "Senior, you are really interesting."

"Really? It's been a long time since anyone said that to me."

The old man smiled, but he didn't look happy. Instead, he looked a little bored and full of pain.

Chen Yang said bluntly, "Senior, you seem to be carrying a lot of things."

"It's true that there are a lot of things, because I hope that people in the underground city can live on the surface and enjoy the sun, rain, wind, frost, rain and snow, and the four seasons."

The old man sighed and shook his head, "Why am I telling you this? Goodbye!"

After that, the old man moved and flew towards the sky.

"Senior, please stay."

Chen Yang immediately caught up and bowed, saying, "Senior, I am Chen Yang, the junior, I am fortunate to meet you today. Can you tell me your name?"

"I am Yang Chui."

Yang Chui said his name, and he was surprised to see that Chen Yang didn't show any shock when he heard it.

"It's Senior Yang."

Chen Yang bowed, pointed at Yang Chui's back, and said seriously: "Senior is seriously injured, but has not received treatment. Perhaps I can help."
