Douluo: A Century-old Legend I Am the Second Uncle Chenxin

Chapter 967 Undercurrent Change

Chen Xiaojun saw Xue Chuxin was about to take off, so he quickly asked, "Senior Chuxin, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Is there something urgent going on outside the mountain?"

Xue Chuxin nodded, her expression becoming serious. "Over in Tianlang County, the wolf bandits broke through the outer forging market at the foot of Tianlang Mountain. The three passes of Tianlang were breached one by one, and even the core mountaintop was invaded."

"Fortunately, the terrain of Tianlang Mountain is steep, so we were able to rely on the mountain for defense. The three Tianlang passes and the square on the top of the mountain were not completely occupied, and we finally waited for our army to come to our rescue."

"However, the local guards suffered heavy casualties, and your Chen family's Jinyiwei also lost most of their troops."

She paused and continued, "What's more serious is that the wolf bandits stole a lot of weapons and military supplies. This incident has caused a huge sensation and impact."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present changed their expressions and were shocked.

Chen Xiaojun even whispered to himself: "Sure enough, the situation is more serious than I thought."

Tianlang Mountain was chosen as the headquarters of the Tianlang Sect in the past. It has a vein of underground fire, a Beichuan River to the north, and many mines nearby. It is very suitable as a forging place. Therefore, the Tianlang Sect forged and sold weapons on its own back then.

After the Tianlang Gate was breached, it was converted into the Tianlang Mountain Forging Market by the Chen family and the government, and many of the blacksmiths and other forging technicians that previously belonged to the Tianlang Gate were taken over.

Now, the forging market is an extremely important source of iron materials around the Chang'an Fortress. It is divided into three levels from top to bottom.

Its core market is located in the mountains. It mainly produces weapons and military supplies and has a deep cooperative relationship with the Chang'an Military Region.

The forging skills there are superb, and the weapons produced are all top-quality, which has immeasurable value in improving the combat effectiveness of the military region.

There are several secondary markets located at the Tianlang Three Passes along the mountainside.

These markets not only cooperate with the Chang'an government, but also have close ties with other forces.

They produce a wide variety of items, ranging from everyday ironware to weapons, armor and equipment, and are an important pillar supporting the economic prosperity of the surrounding areas.

As for the peripheral markets at the foot of the mountain, they are completely open to the outside world.

There are a large number of blacksmith, ore, armor and other shops from the public, as well as merchants and peddlers from all directions, who bring with them a variety of products and resources, making the entire market full of vitality.

For the public, this market is not only a good place to purchase ironware, but also an important place to exchange information and make connections.

…………

Now, the forging market has been ravaged by the wolf bandits, resulting in the collapse of most of the market. The losses are so huge that it is almost difficult to measure them in numbers.

Not only was there a heavy loss of military supplies, but more importantly, there were heavy casualties, especially those skilled blacksmiths, whose departure was undoubtedly a great loss.

Furthermore, the market’s reputation, credibility, and partnership with the Forge Alliance may have suffered greatly from this disaster.

In fact, if it weren’t for the two elders of the Scarlet Church, Elder Bear was seriously injured and the other was also seriously injured, making it difficult for them to make trouble in a short period of time. I’m afraid that the Sirius forging market would have collapsed completely.

Speaking of this, Xue Chuxin's eyes became more resolute, and she said in a deep voice: "This incident is by no means just a provocation to the Chang'an Military Region, but also poses a serious threat to the security of the surrounding areas of the Chang'an Fortress."

"I just rushed here to deal with some urgent matters, and now there is still a lot of follow-up work to be done."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded involuntarily, fully aware of the seriousness and urgency of the incident.

"Oh, by the way, your Ling Yunxiao has also rushed over to deal with it."

Seeing this, Chen Menglin quickly said, "Then Chu Xin, go back first. I'll be guarding here."

However, Chen Xiaojun suddenly stepped forward, bowed and said, "Senior Chuxin, please wait a moment."

"We have some seriously injured people here, and their conditions are critical. For example, our teacher, Director Li Jinghua, is on the verge of death at the moment."

"Please help me first. We don't have any other therapists here except Xiaoyi. But Xiaoyi is young and inexperienced after all."

As soon as these words came out, Chen Menglin's face changed slightly, and he shouted in a low voice: "Xiao Jun, how can you be so rude!"

Chen Xiaojun's words seemed to exceed the authority of the general of the Chang'an Military Region and seemed a little inappropriate.

Xue Chuxin didn't mind. She stared at Chen Xiaojun with a smile on her face: "Okay, let's go now."

After saying this, she turned and walked up the mountain.

The others looked at each other and hurried to catch up.

…………

More than an hour passed quietly, and the sky was already turning pale.

On the top of the hill, Xue Chuxin gently combed her hair that was messed up by the wind and praised: "Your Xiaoyi is indeed a promising talent. Except for a few who are particularly seriously injured, the rest can be treated with her medical skills."

"It seems that your mother has raised her very well. You should treat her as your successor."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaojun smiled modestly and said, "Grandma Chuxin, you are too kind. She still needs to ask you for more advice."

Xue Chuxin was stunned when she heard this. She was a little surprised by Chen Xiaojun's change of address.

In the past, he always respectfully addressed her as senior or general, but now the title of "Grandma Chuxin" reminded her of Xue Churan.

Xue Chuxin's lips curled up inadvertently, with a hint of amusement in her eyes: "Speaking of which, your girlfriend is really extraordinary."

"She was injured a little while ago, and when I treated her, I discovered that her absorption speed of life force was more than ten times that of an ordinary person."

Xue Chuxin paused, thought for a moment, and then continued, "Moreover, her body, her internal organs, no, it should be said that her entire body, muscles, membranes, bones, blood, nerves, and internal organs all contain a huge amount of vitality."

"Even without my help, and even if she doesn't take the initiative to treat herself, her body can recover naturally at an astonishing speed, right?"

There was a hint of certainty in Xue Chuxin's tone.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaojun couldn't help but fall into a brief silence, as if he was thinking about something, "Xiaoyi's body has been transformed by Shao Siming's life force and the essence of the life spring water in the past few years, but more than ten times is a bit shocking."

"It should not only be related to her vitality, but also to her muddy power. The devouring attribute is famous for its fast absorption and conversion efficiency."

Chen Xiaojun slowly raised his head and his eyes met Xue Chuxin's: "Grandma Chuxin, you are right. Xiaoyi has indeed accumulated a lot of vitality in her body due to some special reasons."

Xue Chuxin heard this and looked over with gentle eyes: "It's still the soul power of the second-level life attribute. You have such a talent at such a young age. It really suits you."

Xue Chuxin's sudden change made Chen Xiaojun feel a little helpless and he didn't know how to respond to this sudden "praise".

Xue Chuxin immediately chuckled, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore."

"Go ahead. There are only two of us here now. You deliberately kept me here, so you must have something to say."

"By the way, I'll return your token to you."

A purple-gold light flashed, and Chen Xiaojun took the purple-gold sun token that Teacher You had given him as proof.

Then, he spoke slowly with a serious expression: "Grandma Chuxin, although the changes in Tianlang County are great, this matter will never end so easily."

Xue Chuxin raised her eyebrows slightly: "Oh? Why do you think so?"

Chen Xiaojun swallowed his saliva and said in a deep voice: "Most of the military supplies were robbed from the Sirius Forge Market this time. This may be enough for the Wolf Bandits, but it is far from enough for the Scarlet Church, because this action has no obvious benefits for them."

Xue Chuxin nodded thoughtfully: "What do you think will be their follow-up actions?"

Chen Xiaojun's eyes were sharp, and he spat out two words: "Chao! Tang!"

When Xue Chuxin heard this, her eyes widened suddenly, and her aura soared instantly.

At such a close distance, Chen Xiaojun gave a forced smile and said, "Grandma Chuxin, your aura is too strong. Please retract your magical power. I can hardly breathe."

Upon hearing this, Xue Chuxin quickly restrained her aura, knitted her eyebrows together, and asked, "Do you think someone in the court is colluding with the Scarlet Church?"

Chen Xiaojun shook his head: "Whether it is collusion or not, I don't know, but as long as both parties have a tacit understanding, it is enough."

"Since the Crimson Church is targeting our Chen family, Sea God Island may be out of reach, but how can we turn a blind eye to you and Aunt Chu Ran?!"
