Chapter 1111 – Do You Dare Ask Where the Swords Are?

Wang Po possessed a unique pair of eyebrows.

More specifically, their uniqueness came from the distance between his brows and his eyes.

His brow and eyes were rather close to each other, and the ends of his eyebrows sagged, leading him to look rather impoverished.

And yet, when his brows rose, they would part from his eyes.

It was like the heavens and earth were parting.

At the same time, the end of his brow would rise up like a spear, magnificently soaring to the dome of heaven.

In short, when he raised his brows, he no longer had anything to do with the word 'impoverished'.

Moreover, it was often the case that when he raised his brows, his shoulders would rise with them.

Compared to his eyebrows, Wang Po's shoulders were more famous, because his shoulders spent more time drooped and were easier to see.

And when he moved his shoulders, he was often striking out with his blade.

Such a time was now, as a chilling blade intent abruptly appeared in Hundred Flowers Lane and soared into the sky.

Several hundred divine crossbows and all the weapons wielded by the experts of the Imperial Court were aimed at Wang Po.

The Prince of Xiang's expression was grave. He had taken both his hands off the paunch gathered around his belt.

Wang Po said nothing, only calmly stared at the Orthodox Academy.

Just like the Prince of Xiang, he knew that the person using the Blazing Sun Style was not Chen Changsheng.

Then it could only be Shang Xingzhou.

Just what was the relationship between Shang Xingzhou and Emperor Taizong?

Was he also a member of the Imperial clan?

Wang Po was not thinking about these questions.

Instead, he was thinking about several descriptions that his clan's elders had only managed to preserve through great difficulty.

In those descriptions, the most striking were the four words 'Clan destitute, people massacred', dripping in blood, but there were also many other miserable scenes.

Those scenes all included a young man of dour temperament. According to the judgment of the Wang clan's ancestors, that young man was the true instigator behind the raids on their household. He had most likely been a member of the Imperial clan, but none of their investigations, whether at the time or in the aftermath, had been able to identify him.

In brief, that young man had put the Wang clan through many bleak and miserable storms.

Wang Po had never met Emperor Taizong, but Emperor Taizong was still his enemy, because this was the hatred of his clan.

That young man was naturally his enemy as well.

He originally thought that the young man had already vanished into the long river of history, but today, he discovered that this man might very well be alive.

The atmosphere outside the Orthodox Academy became abnormally tense.

Wang Po silently stared at the academy gate.

In the end, his shoulders drooped back down.

His brows sagged back down at the same time.

Thousands of sighs emerged as one within Hundred Flowers Lane.

Not out of regret, but celebration.

……

……

The Blazing Sun style was an extremely powerful and unique cultivation method.

The tens of thousands of Daoist techniques in the world were all based on the conversion of star radiance to true essence.

Only the Blazing Sun Style gathered not star radiance, but sunfire.

Sunfire was not as pure or gentle as star radiance, but it was far more powerful.

But it was also precisely because it was too fierce and hot that cultivators simply could not gather it in order to convert it to true essence.

Over the countless millennia since the Heavenly Tome Monoliths had descended to the world and the Human race had begun to cultivate, only the Chen clan, through their unique sun wheel, could cultivate this method.

Both the Daoist scriptures and the annals of history took this as a blessing the Heavenly Dao had conferred on the Chen clan. Thus, whether in peace or war, the Chen clan had always possessed a special status in Tianliang County and the entire continent. They seemed innately layered in a divine radiance.

A thousand years ago, the Chen clan had produced countless experts, like the young hero Chen Xuanba, or like Emperor Taizong.

Of course, there was also that person who had been rumored to be a wise god of war: the Prince of Chu.

Even now, the Chen Imperial clan continued to produce a large number of experts. The ten-some princes in Hundred Flowers Lane were all experts, and the Prince of Xiang had even entered the Divine Domain. Together with the younger clansmen spread out in the provinces and counties, they truly presented a most powerful force.

However, in the last few years, with the Tianhai Divine Empress in the past and Shang Xingzhou present, this strength had no opportunity to truly exhibit its power.

But how could Shang Xingzhou practice the Blazing Sun Style? Was he also a member of the Imperial clan? Just what was his relationship with Emperor Taizong?

These questions flitted through Chen Changsheng's mind but quickly vanished, leaving no trace behind.

He had developed this hypothesis in the Garden of Zhou, so he was just receiving the evidence now.
