Chapter 140: Debts Are Cancelled After Death

The night Chen Yan came out of retreat, his troubles began.

A group of members of Tongzhou League came to force Chen Yan to give up his position as the leader of Tongzhou League and asked Chen Yan to make compensation.

Faced with the pressure from everyone, Chen Yan had no choice but to agree.

The next day, Chen Yan sold his second-class cave and moved into a fourth-class cave.

The former high-ranking leader of Tongzhou League became a low-level casual cultivator in the market overnight.

Only Chen Yan himself could understand the taste.

Just when the cultivators in the market were waiting to see Chen Yan's good show, Chen Yan died.

The day after Chen Yan moved to the fourth-class cave, the law enforcement team came to inquire and found him dead in the cave.

It was not homicide, but suicide.

Although the law enforcement team found that before Chen Yan died, his five limbs were brutally broken, and the spirit stones and treasures in the cave were looted, just like the many casual cultivators who reported Chen Yan a year ago, and the cultivators who wanted to withdraw from Tongzhou League.

It can be seen that the cultivator who attacked Chen Yan wanted to treat him in his own way.

But the cultivator who attacked did not expect that Chen Yan committed suicide that night and left a jade slip with only four words.

Debts are cancelled when one dies!

"Chen Yan doesn't really think that everything can be written off just because he dies?"

Including Chu Chen, all the cultivators who learned of this news felt strange.

Logically, Chen Yan should not be so naive.

It was not until later that Chu Chen saw that Lingfa Pavilion had an additional inheritance about puppetry that he suddenly realized.

Lingfa Pavilion has the background of Yunshui Sect, and most of the spells and skills it sells are from Yunshui Sect. The Wind and Thunder Sword Art was purchased by Chu Chen from Lingfa Pavilion.

Chu Chen has seen this inheritance of puppetry, which includes the little puppet that Chen Yan gave him at the beginning, and the detailed refining method.

Obviously, this inheritance of puppetry comes from Chen Yan.

"The jade slip left by Chen Yan definitely has more than just the four words 'Debts are cancelled when a person dies'. There must be other contents. Apart from anything else, the inheritance of this puppetry must be in it."

Chu Chen combined the information circulated in the market and pieced together a fact.

Before Chen Yan committed suicide, he left a jade slip and made a deal with Yunshui Sect, exchanging the inheritance of puppetry and other treasures to write off the previous grudges.

Of course.

The grudges between Chen Yan and Yunshui Sect were written off, but it did not mean that the grudges between Chen Yan and other cultivators in the market were written off.

Some cultivators were so angry that they wanted to attack the Chen family where Chen Yan was, but the Chen family was not weak and could be bullied. There were two cultivators above the ninth level of Qi training sitting in charge.

Some cultivators who wanted to retaliate against the Chen family were beaten and killed by the Chen family cultivators.

The matter of revenge against the Chen family was left unresolved.

"The Lingfa Pavilion is too black-hearted. Chen Yan's inheritance of puppetry actually offered a price of 30,000 low-grade spirit stones."

Chu Chen was shocked.

The spell inheritance sold by Lingfa Pavilion can be sold more than once, and the same is true for the puppetry inheritance. If it is sold to a cultivator, Lingfa Pavilion can earn 30,000 low-grade spirit stones.

A real profiteer.

However, Lingfa Pavilion clearly marks the price of various spell inheritances, and will not force sales. Instead, it follows the principle of Jiang Taigong fishing, and those who are willing to take the bait will take the bait.

There is never a shortage of fish on the hook.

In just a few days, five copies of the puppetry inheritance were sold, and most of them were bought by immortal cultivation families.

"In the immortal cultivation world, the forces that have the most inheritances are the Yunshui Sect and other sects, followed by the major immortal cultivation families."

For the immortal cultivation families, if spell inheritances similar to puppetry can be obtained, it can further consolidate the family foundation.

It is precisely because of the many spell inheritances that the major immortal cultivation families have been able to spread for thousands of years and stand firm.

"In a sense, I am similar to the Xiuxian family, pursuing various spell inheritances to increase my own foundation.

The Xiuxian family pursues spell inheritances to leave them for the younger generation of disciples to use. If anyone has talent in this area, they can take out these inheritances to learn, but I am different. The long years have allowed me to master all these inheritances."

In addition to the Xiuxian family, Chu Chen also spent 30,000 low-grade spirit stones to buy a puppetry inheritance.

For him, if he can get a legacy that he is interested in, 30,000 low-grade spirit stones are not a loss.

Besides, puppetry has many uses, whether it is exploring secret places or fighting against people, it can play a great role.

For example, a combat puppet sold by Chen Yan is driven by spirit stones and can burst out a powerful combat power comparable to that of a seventh-level Qi training cultivator.

A combat puppet may not be a big deal, but if there are enough of these puppets, hundreds or even thousands, it is enough to kill a twelfth-level Qi training cultivator.

It may even cause some trouble to a foundation-building real person.

"The inheritance is in hand, and I will study it later."

Chu Chen received the inheritance of puppetry, but he was not eager to learn it.

Things have their priorities.

Recently, he has been learning more about formations and refining foundation pills.

The inheritance of puppetry can only be studied when he has time in the future, just like the inheritance of formations in the past.

…

After the turmoil of Chen Yan's incident subsided, Chiyanfang City returned to its previous calm.

Some small things happen occasionally, such as the person in charge of Tongzhou League was replaced by an inner disciple of Yunshui Sect, which means that Tongzhou League has completely become a peripheral force attached to Yunshui Sect.

It is impossible for Yunshui Sect to let things like Chen Yan disrupting the market happen again, and it is reasonable to completely control Tongzhou League.

And the inner disciple of Yunshui Sect who controls Tongzhou League is named Qiao Yan'er.

Qiao Yan'er's control of Tongzhou League is a bad thing for some members of Tongzhou League, but it is a good thing for Chu Chen.

After Qiao Yan'er became the leader of Tongzhou League, she carried out drastic reforms.

First, all the so-called reserve members were eliminated, and some official casual cultivators who had been in collusion with Chen Yan and secretly persecuted casual cultivators were killed on the spot to shock everyone in Tongzhou League.

Then, some members with real talents were promoted to become the backbone of Tongzhou League.

Including Chu Chen.

Qiao Yan'er even visited Chu Chen, a veteran of Tongzhou League, in person.

Cave No. 61.

"Meet Senior Brother Qin."

Qiao Yan'er, who was dressed in a water-sleeved cloud robe and a gauze on her face, and had a graceful and enchanting figure, bowed to Chu Chen.

"Fellow Daoist Qiao, please flatter me. How can I be worthy of the title of Senior Brother Qiao?"

Hearing this, Chu Chen hurriedly put on a look of trepidation.

"On the road of cultivating immortals, the one who has achieved success comes first. Besides, Senior Brother Qin is a senior figure of Tongzhou League. We are both disciples of Yunshui Sect. How can he not be called Senior Brother?"

Qiao Yan'er smiled sweetly: "Senior Brother, there is no need to be so distant. Just call me Junior Sister."

"I dare not."

Chu Chen's expression remained unchanged and he changed the subject: "I wonder why Brother Qiao came here this time?"

Hearing this, Qiao Yan'er frowned slightly, but did not get angry.

Instead, she smiled: "Because of Wang Yuanqiu and Chen Yan, the vitality of Tongzhou League has been greatly damaged and it is no longer as prosperous as it was in the past. I want to reorganize Tongzhou League, and I hope Senior Brother can help me."

"I dare not refuse Brother Qiao's invitation, but my ability is limited, and I am afraid I can't complete what Brother Qiao entrusted."

Chu Chen refused tactfully without thinking.
