Chapter 501: Martial Uncle
When Chen Qing returned to Myriad Techniques Peak, it was already past noon.
The peak was wreathed in drifting clouds and mist, the ancient pines stood deep and verdant, and the halls and pavilions appeared especially serene beneath the pale golden afternoon light.
He had originally planned to first put the affairs of the peak in order, then quietly enter seclusion.
Barely an hour had passed before footsteps sounded outside the door.
"Senior Brother Chen!" Zhu Yu's voice came from outside, carrying a faint note of urgency.
"Come in," Chen Qing said, opening his eyes.
Zhu Yu pushed the door open and entered, his expression even more grave than before.
After clasping his hands in salute, he quickly reported, "A fair amount of news from the outside world has come in recently. Since the various sects were attacked, the Six Great Upper Sects and the imperial court struck back swiftly, and... with considerable ferocity."
Chen Qing gestured for him to continue.
