Chapter 211-1: Endless Resolve Restoration Scripture
“Song Tianxing?”
Yang Chen who just retracted his hand from Yun Miao’s back had no idea what she was saying with such emotions.
“Don’t feign ignorance! The internal method you used to treat me was obviously our Shushan’s Endless Resolve Restoration Scripture, the only inheritor of this technique left is Song Tianxing! You’re using genuine internal energy from the Endless Resolve Restoration Scripture, how could you have no relationship with Song Tianxing!? Quickly tell me! Where has that bastard Song Tianxing gone!?” Abbess Yun Miao yelled quickly, causing the others to be stunned.
Yang Chen’s brows creased slightly, he gradually understood what Abbess Yun Miao meant, but he also began to find many things strange.
Hui Lin curiously blinked and asked, “Master, are you referring to Song Tianxing, Senior Uncle Song?”
“That’s right.” Yun Miao stared at Yang Chen and said, “No wonder I had such a bad reaction to his appearance, so it was because of the Endless Resolve Restoration Scripture’s internal energy, how could I forget that aura?”
Yang Chen pondered for a bit, then said, “Abbess, regardless of whether you believe me or not, I myself didn’t know that this martial art is called Endless Resolve Restoration Scripture, I also don’t know that it came from Shushan. However, I might be able to tell you some things you want to know about this Song Tianxing person you mentioned.”
Tears began to surface in Abbess Yun Miao’s eyes, “Really? Quickly tell me!”
Yang Chen looked at his surroundings, then said to Sky Dragon, Leaf, and the others, “All of you leave for a while, this conversation has contents that isn’t for others to know.”
“Bleh, what’s the big deal, we’re also very curious.” Sky Dragon wanted to listen in.
“Sky Dragon, get out!”
Abbess Yun Miao coldly swept a glance at them, and even the thick-skinned Sky Dragon gave up after mumbling a little. They all left Coiling Dragon Temple.
Within the temple, there was only Yang Chen, Yun Miao, and Hui Lin left.
“You may speak now.” Abbess Yun Miao was extremely eager and was looking forward to hear from him.
Yang Chen nodded, after arranging his thoughts he said, “This matter goes back to Zero. I believe you should know about Zero, Abbess.”
Yun Miao frowned, “Zero? Of course I know about them, they used to be the world’s best assassin organization, but I heard that they were single handedly destroyed by you. I never believed it, but when I saw you fight in my dazed state, I now believe you have that ability. Your battle prowess is no longer something ordinary humans can achieve.”
Yang Chen bitterly smiled, “Actually, not many people know that I used to work for Zero. In fact, in my first memory, I was already living in Zero.”
“What!?” Yun Miao doubtfully asked, “Then why……”
“You need not ask about that further, Abbess. I can tell you that Song Tianxing who you’re looking for was also in Zero, I was about eight years old back then when I coincidentally bumped into him. I didn’t know his name, and he should have been someone important within the organization. I remember that he was very curious as to why there was a boy from Huaxia within the organization. Then, he decided to teach me this kung fu, which is also the Endless Resolve Restoration Scripture you mentioned. Back then, I didn’t know what it was, I just practised it, and noticed that my body would recover quickly if I cultivated in the way he taught.”
Up till here, Yang Chen had a nostalgic look in his eyes. He remembered the image of that sloppy looking middle-aged man smirking at him with a liquor bottle in hand.
“Afterwards, when I was ten, I went through an experiment with many children from other countries. The other children all died, and I was the only one who survived. At that time, I understood that this skill definitely wasn’t just for improving my body’s recovery speeds. Until now, I’m still grateful towards that man. I only learned today that his name is Song Tianxing, how ironic.”
Abbess Yun Miao forced a smile, “The Endless Resolve Restoration Scripture is something genius born out of a senior from Shushan who took a wrong step in cultivation, became possessed by the devil, and became extremely bloodthirsty. It was created when he turned over a new leaf. It doesn’t just help the body recover quicker, the important part of it is that it helps with curbing with one’s mental demons. Borrowing the yin and yang of heaven and earth, and deriving from the natural laws of everything, it can allow a person to naturally improve their strength. However, it is difficult to learn and understand, and requires an innate talent for perception. Those who could successfully master it are one in a million. Senior Brother Song must have noticed your talent by a coincidence and chose to impart it to you. Otherwise, this skill would truly be lost forever.”
“So it’s like this……” A light bulb lit up in Yang Chen’s mind. It’s no wonder that I could use this internal method to suppress my violent tendencies, I wonder if Song Tianxing predicted this or did it unintentionally, but this skill that he imparted to me was what carried me through many crises, and also helped me to escape from a life of slaughter.
“By the way, your internal energy is extremely robust, what level have you cultivated up to?” Abbess Yun Miao caringly asked.
“The eighth stage, but it has already been five years. I’m still far from reaching the ninth stage no matter what I do though.” Yang Chen helplessly said.
“What!? The eighth level!?” Abbess Yun Miao sized Yang Chen up like she was looking at a monster, “There are only a total of nine stages, even Senior Brother Song was only able to reach the seventh stage and couldn’t break through any further for so many years. You… you’re actually able to reach the eighth stage at such a young age!? It’s no wonder you look absolutely fine despite expending so much True Qi to treat me.”
Yang Chen laughed, “I have no choice, if I didn’t cultivate faster, I’d be in big trouble.”
Chapter 211-2: Endless Resolve Restoration Scripture
If it wasn’t because he rapidly advanced in this skill and reached the eighth stage a few years back, he definitely wouldn’t be able to control the violent impulses in his brain no matter how effective the medicine he currently had was.
Abbess Yun Miao pondered for a while, then hesitantly asked, “Then…… Where is Senior Brother Song?”
“He has already passed on a long time ago.” Yang Chen regretfully answered, “When I was nine and just learned all there was to learn about the skill, he took poison and died.”
“Is that so……”
Abbess Yun Miao’s knees went soft, and she nearly fell. Luckily, Hui Lin reacted quickly and propped her up.
“Senior Brother…… You weren’t willing to forgive me till the very end, and refused to meet us even once before you died……” Abbess Yun Miao mumbled in pain, tears flowed down her cheeks, and she helplessly wailed.
Seeing Abbess Yun Miao cry in such a sorrowful manner, it wasn’t right for him to continue speaking. He sighed, and walked out of Coiling Dragon Temple.
It was unexpected that this trip to Tibet would solve a mystery he wondered about for years. The man who imparted this wonderful skill to him was actually a part of Shushan. Since Abbess Yun Miao who was an elder in the Yellow Flame Iron Brigade, then as her senior brother, Song Tianxing was definitely a high ranker in the Yellow Flame Iron Brigade.
However, why did Song Tianxing go overseas and become an extremely powerful assassin in Zero?
He had many questions, but Yang Chen didn’t have it in him to question the grieving Abbess Yun Miao. He had no choice but to wait for her to recover before asking.
When those outside the temple saw Yang Chen walk out, they didn’t ask what he and Abbess Yun Miao talked about inside, and just smiled at him with gratitude. After all, their lives were saved by Yang Chen who didn’t hold a grudge for their previous trespasses.
“Big Brother Yang.” Leaf’s head was filled with questions. Now that she finally had an opportunity to ask, she did, “How did Big Sister Mo and Auntie Ma suddenly get cured? Weren’t they both unconscious?”
Yang Chen had an amused smile, “Let this be my little secret. Anyway, when I sent them upstairs, I had already relieved them of the poison.”
That day, when Yang Chen carried Mo Qianni and Ma Guifang to the room, he had already used his blood to treat them, and he also left a piece of paper stating that he was going out to do something and not to worry.
Although it was a piece of cake for Yang Chen, he didn’t want the matter of his blood being able to cure poison to become known to everyone.
Once they find out that he is impervious to poison, they would already be on guard against that and find other ways to deal with him. He mustn’t reveal too many of his cards. Although he wasn’t afraid that they’d deal with him directly since nobody was capable of catching him and turning him into their lab rat, the people around him wouldn’t be safe.
“Stingy……” Leaf mumbled.
Sky Dragon also came over, he grinned and asked, “Hey, do you still have that ball from earlier? That ball belongs to Venus? Let me take a look.”
Yang Chen shook his head. He spread his arms and said, “It’s gone, a god’s protective talisman can only be used once, and vanishes after use.”
“How enigmatic……” Sky Dragon unhappily said.
Squall mischievously said, “Sky Dragon, didn’t you say you wanted to duel with Yang Chen? Have you changed your mind?”
Sky Dragon blushed from embarrassment. He coughed twice, then took a look at his wrist, “Aye, it’s pretty late, let me go back to the camp to pack up.” Once he was done speaking, he immediately fled.
“How can this fellow check the time if he isn’t wearing a watch!” Squall voiced his discontent.
Right as everyone was happily chatting, Tsunami’s communication instruments recovered its signal, and he received a message.
“Yes, affirmative, we will go over now!”
Hearing this, Tsunami said to everyone, “The general has come to our camp, let’s quickly go over.”
Hearing the word “general,” everyone became excited, and they all began to run towards the camp at the same time.
Seeing Yang Chen stay put, Leaf hastily pulled his hand, “Big Brother Yang, hurry. The general is here, you were the most outstanding in this mission, the general would definitely give you a reward!”
“Whos the general?” Asked Yang Chen.
“He’s obviously the leader of the Yellow Flame Iron Brigade! General is our country’s hero, the Group of Eight and Dragon Group both listen to him!” Leaf proudly said.
Yang Chen smiled and said, “Even so, he’s your leader, not mine. In the strictest sense, I am actually a thorn in your general’s side.
Leaf was stunned, only then did she remember that Yang Chen wasn’t actually a member of the Yellow Flame Iron Brigade. She sadly released her hand and said, “I see, I’m going off first then.”
A short while after Leaf left, the young nun Hui Lin aided the pale Abbess Yun Miao out of the temple. Abbess Yun Miao’s originally graceful looks that appeared under fifty now seemed over a decade older, even the wrinkles on her face became more prominent.
Seeing Yang Chen standing outside, Yun Miao revealed a rare smile, “Let’s go. Even though you aren’t a part of the Yellow Flame Iron Brigade, you should meet that person.”
Yang Chen didn’t understand why Abbess Yun Miao said that, but he still nodded. At the very least, he needed a helicopter ride back to Mo Qianni’s hometown.
