Chapter 101 – An unexpected helper, a ruthless person rises

"The one who killed my entire family was my Master, the Master who treated me like his own son."

"He feared my brother's talent would surpass mine and threaten my position as the Holy Son, so he killed my whole family."

"That day was a stormy night. My Master staged the scene to look like a vendetta and then left."

"Half an hour later, I stood before the bodies of my parents."

"I had long suspected my Master would do this, but I didn't stop him because I wasn't his match at the time."

"At that moment, I found that my eight-month-old brother still had a breath of life, so I cut him out and secretly raised him."

Chen Changsheng: "..."

Hearing such a twisted and bizarre past, Chen Changsheng scratched his head.

"And what happened after that?"

"Things got simpler afterward. I followed his plan and blamed my rival for the murders."

"With my Master's help, I wiped out my rival's entire family."

"Since then, no one in the Yaoguang Sacred Ground dared to challenge me."

As he spoke, the Holy Son of Yaoguang looked at Chen Changsheng.

"Do you know why I'm telling you all this?"

"I don't know, but I'll know once you tell me."

The Holy Son of Yaoguang didn't mind Chen Changsheng's casual attitude and instead looked at Little Black in Chen's arms.

"This spirit pet is always by your side, showing how much you value it."

"But it's gravely injured, so much so that ordinary methods can't save it."

"So you went to the Kunlun Stone House to gamble on stones, hoping to find a divine source's holy medicine to save it."

"Your research on divine source stones is the best among those I know."

"There are only two ways to save my brother: the lost Heaven-Mending Ointment from Butterfly Valley or the holy medicine from the divine source."

"Now do you know why I'm telling you this?"

Chen Changsheng smacked his lips and said, "Your insight is sharp. Little Black's situation is much like your brother's, but you might be disappointed."

"Neither the holy medicine nor the Heaven-Mending Ointment can save your brother."

Upon hearing this, the Holy Son of Yaoguang frowned.

"How can you be so sure?"

"Because I have both of them!"

With that, Chen Changsheng closed his eyes, slightly tilted his head back, and took a deep breath.

After confirming the faint medicinal scent in the air, Chen Changsheng opened his eyes.

"You didn't tell the whole truth earlier."

"The Heaven-Mending Ointment from Butterfly Valley is indeed lost, but there should still be some stock left. I smelled the Heaven-Mending Ointment on your brother."

"Over the years, your brother has probably been surviving on small amounts of the ointment."

"The Heaven-Mending Ointment extended your brother's life, so you naturally think having a lot of it could save him."

"But I can clearly tell you now, that idea is wrong."

Hearing this, the Holy Son of Yaoguang narrowed his eyes and calmly said, "How do you have the Heaven-Mending Ointment?"

"Six hundred years ago, Old Yao from Butterfly Valley created this miraculous medicine, but shortly after its creation, Old Yao passed away."

"Since then, the formula for the Heaven-Mending Ointment was lost, and the ointment that had been made was divided among the major Sacred Grounds."

"Don't tell me the Heaven-Mending Ointment you have came from another Sacred Ground."

"I can't tell you how I got my Heaven-Mending Ointment; everyone has their little secrets!"

"But there's one thing I can tell you: I have plenty of Heaven-Mending Ointment, and I can give you a jar if you want."

With that, Chen Changsheng took out a jar emitting a medicinal fragrance.

After inspecting the contents of the jar, the Holy Son of Yaoguang instantly confirmed it was the life-saving medicine for his brother.

Heaven-Mending Ointment!

"What do you want?"

Glancing again at the jar in Chen Changsheng's hand, the Holy Son of Yaoguang directly asked Chen Changsheng's purpose.

"Sorry, I can't make any demands of you right now."

"Because the Heaven-Mending Ointment will soon be useless for your brother."

"If the Heaven-Mending Ointment can't save your brother's life, then it's worthless to you."

"How can I trade something useless with you?"

Hearing this, a trace of disappointment flashed in the Holy Son of Yaoguang's eyes.

At this moment, he desperately hoped to hear Chen Changsheng make a request.

Because if Chen Changsheng made a request, it would prove he had a way to save his brother.

"Is there really no way to heal this kind of injury?"

"From what I see now, that's the case. I used to think the holy medicine could save him, but when I got it, I found it couldn't."

"Otherwise, Little Black wouldn't still be in this state."

"But it could also be that I haven't found the right holy medicine. After all, there are many types of holy medicines, and who knows what miraculous effects they might have."

"Tomorrow is the Hero's Gathering, and people from all over will come. If we still can't find a way..."

"My Little Black and your brother will truly be beyond saving."

Hearing this, the Holy Son of Yaoguang looked directly into Chen Changsheng's eyes and said, "I will help you clear all obstacles at the Hero's Gathering. If you find a way to save my brother, you can name any condition."

"If we can't find a way, you need to give me a jar of Heaven-Mending Ointment."

"Swish!"

As soon as the Holy Son of Yaoguang finished speaking, Chen Changsheng tossed the jar in his hand over.

"Just for the sake of your title as the Holy Son of Yaoguang, I'll give you a down payment first."

"But there will be many heroes tomorrow. Are you sure you can sweep them all away?"

Facing this question, the Holy Son of Yaoguang gave a faint smile and then turned to leave.

For someone like him, his invincibility needed no proof to anyone, as it was an ironclad fact.

Watching the back of the Holy Son of Yaoguang, Chen Changsheng's mouth curled into a wide grin.

Gaining such a powerful ally for no reason, how could he not be pleased?

"By the way, is your Master still alive?"

"If you're not in a position to deal with him, I can help you, and you can owe me a favor."

"He's dead. He died five years ago; I personally sent him on his way."

The voice of the Holy Son of Yaoguang lingered in the air, but his figure had already disappeared.

"Tsk tsk!"

"This kid seems amiable, but who would have thought he's so ruthless at heart!"

"Girl, oh girl!"

"You really did me a big favor."

With that, Chen Changsheng walked away happily.

As for Gongsun Huaiyu, Chen Changsheng had no intention of interfering.

Let the young couple enjoy their romance; he didn't want to spoil the mood.

......

"Wooh~"

The heavy and long horn sounded throughout the Kunlun Sacred Ground.

The long-delayed Hero's Gathering was finally underway.

"Chirp!"

A massive shadow suddenly appeared on the ground, and looking up, it was not a cloud in the sky.

But a divine bird with colorful wings.

And atop the divine bird stood a woman as beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal.

This was Yao Yingying, one of the three great beauties of the Central Court and the successor of the Wuhen Pavilion.
