18: The forged innate Taoist body, the hidden truth uncovered

The next day, approaching noon.

"Young Master, Third Master sent a message asking you to go to the Liu Family. He said there's something urgent and important to discuss with you, a matter of extreme urgency."

Star Servant's voice came from outside the door.

"Also, the First Master sent servants to inform that powerful figures from various families within the Sect, bringing their descendants and heavy gifts, have come to visit. There are also many strong cultivators from major Sects, and old generation powerhouses from the continent, etc. He requests you to go as soon as possible."

Buzz!

Chu Tian opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing within them. His gaze actually pierced two small holes through the wooden door, allowing light to pass through. Sunlight shone in from outside, illuminating Chu Tian's body. His skin actually reflected a heavy light, like that of Chaos Divine Iron.

Now, his body seemed like a piece of Chaos Divine Iron that had been hammered millions of times.

"Understood."

Chu Tian responded, got out of the wooden tub, and stood before the full-length mirror.

The young man in the mirror had a tender face, but his eyes flickered with an extremely disharmonious cold light, completely at odds with his youthful appearance.

After a night of body forging and circulating the Chaotic Creation True Scripture, Chu Tian had actually grown another five centimeters. Although still young, his height had already reached 1.65 meters, no different from some shorter adults.

Star Servant entered the room to help Chu Tian change. Seeing his physique, which glowed with Chaos divine light, her cheeks flushed slightly. She lowered her head and helped Chu Tian put on his clothes.

"Young Master, where do you plan to go first?" Star Servant asked softly as she tied Chu Tian's belt.

Chu Tian's brows furrowed slightly as he pondered for a moment, then said, "Leave the social engagements to my father. Tell the servants that I am at a critical point in my Cultivation."

"First, I'll go to the Liu Family. Since Third Uncle said it's extremely urgent, it must be an important matter."

Chu Tian understood that this was merely aFollow-up reaction to him ascending to the top of the Hengtian Earth Ranking. These people were here to congratulate the Chu Family and, incidentally, to have their juniors get acquainted with him, extending the relationship and friendship between their families and the next Sect Head of the Chu Family.

Whether it was in the wealthy and powerful families of his previous life or the ancient families of this world, it was always like this: intermarriage, forming alliances, sharing resources, and so on.

Previously, due to Chu Tian King's concession and low profile, these individuals had gradually become estranged.

Now, with him, the Young Lord of the Chu Family, topping the Earth Ranking, many saw it as a signal of a change in the Chu Family's attitude, naturally attracting those who were friendly with the Chu Family or wished to curry favor.

As for other Sect powerhouses and old fogeys, it was certainly not uncommon for them to want to gather information and personally witness the true nature of his Chaos Divine Demon Body.

Chu Tian currently didn't want to bother with these hypocritical, time-consuming, and energy-wasting things; he'd leave them for his father, Chu Tian King, to handle.

His mission was to become stronger, stronger, and continue to become stronger, plundering all the resources and Luck of the Children of Luck.

"Yes, Young Master."

"Your Disciple will arrange it now."

Not long after.

Chu Tian rode in the carriage palace arranged by Star Servant, pulled by nine fiery fierce lion exotic beasts, soaring through the air. They quickly left the Sect and arrived at the Liu Family, a hundred miles away.

What met his eyes was a vast and sprawling complex of palace estates.

As soon as they reached the entrance, a strong smell of blood assailed his nostrils, making him feel nauseous.

Over a hundred Law Enforcement Hall powerhouses, with long sabers at their waists and faces as cold as statues, stood in two rows at the entrance. Around their feet were scattered corpses, and blood spread like a small stream into the distance.

There were also Liu Family members who hadn't died yet lying on the ground, constantly emitting faint wails and cries for help.

A quick glance showed that more than a hundred Liu Family members had been killed just at the entrance.

Star Servant, who was driving the carriage, turned pale. Although she was a death warrior trained by the Chu Family, it was her first time seeing such a brutal scene.

Chu Tian stepped out of the carriage, glanced around, expressionless, without even a furrow in his brow.

He had seen too many small scenes like this.

Compared to the scene of flesh and blood flying everywhere caused by thousands of heavy cannons firing simultaneously, the visual impact of this was hundreds of times less.

However, he keenly sensed that something was amiss.

Even if Chu Tianyun wanted to vent his anger on the Liu Family, he wouldn't have started such a massacre immediately upon arrival. According to Sect rules and procedures, it wouldn't be difficult to destroy the Liu Family. It was likely that some unexpected event had occurred.

"Little Tian, it's extremely urgent. Let's talk as we go."

Chu Tianyun's face was grim. He strode out of the estate, blood splashing under his feet, his eyes carrying terrifying Evil Qi and killing intent. He immediately took Chu Tian and flew deep into the Liu Family estate.

"No need for pleasantries. This matter is of great importance. Third Uncle hasn't reported it to your father or the Sect yet. I wanted to hear your opinion first."

Chu Tianyun said with a solemn expression, "Third Uncle led people to search the Liu Family and discovered that your fiancée, Liu Yun's Innate Dao Body, was actually fake. Our Chu Family was deceived by the Liu Family."

Chu Tian's heart immediately jolted.

This was something not present in the original plot he was familiar with. Following the clues, he had actually uncovered such an inside story.

As he spoke, they landed in the deepest part of the Liu Family, before a thousand-meter-tall palace.

Around the palace, the ground was stained dark red with blood, and a strong smell of blood assailed their nostrils. It was clear that a battle far more tragic than the one at the entrance had taken place here, and the Liu Family's resistance had been extremely fierce.

A terrifying pressure also permeated the sky, mixed with Chu Tianyun's aura, indicating that Chu Tianyun had personally intervened to eliminate the Liu Family's strongest cultivators.

"Little Tian, Little Tian, you're here."

At this moment, a middle-aged beautiful woman wearing a low-cut palace dress at the entrance suddenly cried out loudly, shouting at the two Law Enforcement Disciples who were holding her, "Let go, let go of me! My son-in-law is here, you're finished!"

She was Luo Yushan, Liu Yun's mother.

Chu Tian had always respected Luo Yushan since he was a child, and when he came to the Liu Family, he always addressed her as 'Auntie'.

"A fake Innate Dao Body?"

Chu Tian frowned slightly, following Chu Tianyun into the palace. Hearing the shouting, he casually looked up and saw the beautiful Liu Yun standing beside Luo Yushan. Everyone else around them had disheveled clothes or bloodstains from injuries, but her white dress was spotless and undamaged.

As a Innate Dao Body, and with the Chu Family not having proposed to break off the engagement, with these titles, naturally no one dared to touch a single hair on her.

Liu Yun seemed slightly surprised to see Chu Tian appear, then a hint of anger flashed in her eyes. Her mouth pursed, looking a bit wronged, and then she huffed and turned her head, seemingly waiting for Chu Tian to approach her first.

Normally, even if she had some unpleasantness with Chu Tian, he would proactively seek her out to reconcile the next morning.

But this time, it had taken him so long to come and apologize, and he had even caused her Family such great losses. It was too late.

Liu Yun decided to give Chu Tian the cold shoulder.

A girl's Heart-Nature might mature early, understanding things sooner than boys.

But she didn't understand the seriousness of the matter.

"Third Uncle, the Innate Dao Body is nurtured by Heaven and Earth, aligning with the Heavenly Dao. Can this also be faked?"

Chu Tian asked, only glancing at the mother and daughter before retracting his gaze. Even as he passed them, he didn't look at them again. His gaze was solemn as he and Chu Tianyun stepped into the palace.

A fake Innate Dao Body—this was not in the original plot, and there might be a deep hidden secret behind it.

Liu Yun's face turned pale. She raised her hand in a daze, reaching out towards Chu Tian's retreating back, as if trying to grasp something. She opened her mouth as if to speak.

But Chu Tian's figure had already disappeared into the palace.

The palace gates were also closed by the Law Enforcement Disciples.

Liu Yun felt very wronged.

She was clearly ready to apologize, as long as Chu Tian spoke to her first and gave her an opening.

Why?

Why did Chu Tian not even look at her directly anymore?
