Chapter 53 The Chen Family's Past

Generally speaking, the word "sir" is used to address adult men.

But it can not only be used to address adult males, but also to address respected people. It is a relatively common name.

Influenced by his previous life, Chen Feng prefers to be called "Mr."

As for the title "Master", Chen Feng always thinks of those scammers who have "special abilities".

So I don’t like it very much.

"No problem, Mr. Chen Feng, we'll take our leave." The senior deacon walked out with the others.

On the way, Dai Mubai winked at Chen Feng and mouthed:
"Remember to write to me, Mr. Chen Feng."

Chen Feng nodded, and Dai Mubai left with satisfaction.

After they left, the master stood up and said:

"It's getting late. Flanders and I will take Xiao San to have lunch first. If you and Jian Douluo want to discuss things, you can continue to use my room."

"Sorry to bother you, Master." Ning Fengzhi stood up and said.

After the three masters left, Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin brought Chen Feng to the master's room.

The three of them took their seats, and Chen Xin sealed the room as usual to prevent the sound from leaking out.

Chen Feng looked at Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin with serious faces, and knew that they were going to tell him some "stories of the past".

Chen Feng was still very curious about this. He wanted to know whether he was the product of the efforts of Lao Wang next door.

As for the speculation about Jian Douluo's unknown love affair, Chen Feng felt that it was basically unlikely based on Jian Douluo's attitude towards him.

However, to Chen Feng's surprise, neither of his two guesses was true.

"Xiao Feng, if nothing unexpected happens, you should be the descendant of my grandfather's younger brother." Chen Xin said.

Chen Feng blinked, a little confused.

Could it be that Jian Douluo’s grandfather is the swordsman Chen Xun in the comics who fought with Tang Chen and was as famous as Golden Crocodile Douluo?

This tough guy actually has a younger brother?
Chen Xin sighed and began his narration:

"This history was told to my grandfather by my great-grandfather, and eventually passed down to me. Generation after generation, they have told their descendants to find a way to find your family and treat you well, because my great-grandfather did something that made him feel guilty for the rest of his life."

"What's the matter?" Chen Feng asked.

Chen Xin's voice was somewhat heavy, "My great-grandfather killed his own son, your ancestor, Chen Yang."

In the room, Chen Feng's eyes gradually widened.

What did he hear? His ancestor's father killed his ancestor with his own hands?

What kind of fatherly love and filial piety is this? Could it be that the spirit awakened by the ruthless man who killed his son is called Frostmourne?
No, that seems to be the sword that stabbed the father, not the sword that killed the son. "Is there any hidden secret in this?" Chen Feng couldn't help but ask.

Chen Xin nodded and said in a heavy voice:

"Yes, the cause of all this is that your ancestor Chen Yang awakened a very special sword martial spirit, and it was this sword martial spirit that led to this tragedy."

"Does this sword martial soul have the power to control souls?" Chen Feng asked in a strange tone.

"How do you know?" Chen Xin asked in surprise.

Chen Feng:.
He was silent for a while, then said:
"I was just guessing, because ordinary sword spirits would definitely not have such a thing happen, so I just made a random guess, and I didn't expect that I guessed it right."

Chen Xin didn't think much about it. He knew that this kid was very knowledgeable about martial spirits, so it wasn't surprising that he guessed it right.

He continued:

"Everything was normal at the beginning. Although our ancestor Chen Yang didn't awaken the Seven Killing Sword, he also had full innate soul power, so everyone in the sect was very happy. In addition, our ancestor Chen Xun also had full innate soul power, which made everyone in the sect believe that our Chen family would likely have two Douluo in that generation."

At this time, Ning Fengzhi said beside him:

"The Seven Killing Swords have protected the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect for generations. After the appearance of these two geniuses with innate full soul power, every day in the sect is like a festival. People have placed high hopes on them. My ancestor even betrothed his two daughters to them.

"But the good times didn't last long. Perhaps because the two geniuses' talents were too extraordinary, they incurred divine punishment. As their cultivation grew and they obtained their own spirit rings, Senior Chen Yang gradually began to behave abnormally."

Chen Xin sighed and said:

"According to my great-grandfather, Ancestor Chen Yang's personality in his youth was just like his name. He was a sunny and cheerful person, and was very kind to others. Unlike Ancestor Chen Xun, who was only focused on practicing swordsmanship and didn't pay much attention to other things.

"However, as Ancestor Chen Yang's cultivation grew, his personality gradually became withdrawn, and his attitude towards others gradually became cold. He was only kind to his family and fiancée as before.

"My great-grandfather didn't know what was going on at the time. He thought Ancestor Chen Yang was in a bad mood because of setbacks in his cultivation. However, Ancestor Chen Yang's cultivation growth rate didn't slow down at that time. In fact, it was even faster than before.

"Therefore, my great-grandfather didn't pay too much attention to Ancestor Chen Yang's unusual behavior. He simply thought that it was because Ancestor Chen Yang finally began to focus on cultivation, which led to some oversight in his interpersonal relationships. This also laid the seeds for the disaster that followed."

Chen Feng licked his dry lips and asked:
"What happened next?"

"After Ancestor Chen Yang got married, his cultivation increased even faster. However, at the same time, the sect began to experience unusual deaths. These disciples had no scars on their bodies when they died, as if they were asleep.

"My great-grandfather led the sect to investigate this matter and discovered that all these people died because their souls had been devoured. My great-grandfather was furious. He believed that an outsider had infiltrated the sect and committed evil. However, soon after, he gradually traced the blame back to our ancestor Chen Yang."

Chen Xin took a breath and said in a heavy tone:

"The reason those disciples died abnormally was because their souls were devoured by Ancestor Chen Yang. More precisely, they were devoured by the magic sword he awakened."

Chen Feng frowned, realizing a problem. "If these people died because their souls were devoured, then it shouldn't be easy to find many traces. Why was that ancestor Chen Yang found so quickly?"

The one who answered his question was Ning Fengzhi:

"We didn't know about this at the time, but later, after everything settled, we realized that the reason Senior Chen Yang was so easily discovered was because his subconscious was asking for help. He deliberately allowed his evil deeds to be discovered by the seniors at the time."
