Chapter 369 [Self-Sabotaging Future?]

Chen Yan remembered the description that You Su Yi once shared with him about his father Chen Jue.

Chen Jue was born into the top noble family Chen Family in the Domain Realm, a child of the aristocracy, and the son of a prodigy. He once served in the town garrisons, specifically in the "Luoyan Town" among the "Three Platforms, Eight Passes, and Sixteen Towns."

He held the position of Deputy Town General, making him the second-in-command in Luoyan Town.

Originally, Luoyan Town was a second-tier town below the front lines, not an area targeted by the "Evil," so battles there were not intense, and the invasion frequency by the "Evil" was relatively low.

Supposedly, with Chen Jue’s distinguished background as a noble prodigy, whether seeking accolades or looking for a brilliant resume, he wouldn’t choose such a second-tier town—where battles were rare and achievements were hard to come by.

Yet Chen Jue, already known as the renowned "Chen Family Prodigy," somehow chose to come to Luoyan Town.

The root cause was because of one person: Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu, the Town General of Luoyan Town, the number one figure. His other identity was Chen Jue’s intimate friend.

According to You Su Yi’s recount, this Jiang Yu was also a disciple from a major sect, holding notable status—as without some background, a mere grassroots loose cultivator wouldn’t have climbed to the position of Town General.

Even though Luoyan Town was considered second-tier within the "Three Platforms, Eight Passes, and Sixteen Towns," in the entirety of the Domain Realm, it was elite.

After all, the "Three Platforms, Eight Passes, and Sixteen Towns" itself was the most elite armed force of the Domain Immortal Platform’s battle department.

Jiang Yu was at the Celestial Human Realm in cultivation, hailing from a noble background, and reportedly in great camaraderie with Chen Jue, bonded by deep friendship—it was said that Chen Jue, in his youth, owed his life to Jiang Yu.

Thus, at that time, the illustrious Chen Jue, for some unknown reason, gave up the opportunity to train at the Three Platforms and chose instead to go to the second-tier town of Luoyan—this move was met with mixed reviews by the outside world. The mainstream evaluation was that this prodigy of the Chen Family was willingly falling, forsaking training, letting things drift, squandering his talent and his life.

And after arriving at Luoyan Town, Chen Jue took on the role of Deputy Town General, doing it rather half-heartedly.

Usually, he spent half the time away from Luoyan Town. With such behavior, accusing him of dereliction of duty wouldn’t be unjust.

The outside world circulated tales about Chen Jue being irresponsible, frequently out traveling aimlessly, trifling away his time.

However, what You Su Yi told Chen Yan was somewhat different.

According to You Su Yi, Chen Jue was resolute and courageous, certainly not someone who trifles away his time. His frequent absences from the town made his whereabouts quite mysterious.

Rather than simply traveling for leisure, it’s more like he was on journeys doing some secretive things.

You Su Yi once served as a Document Officer at the Commander’s Mansion, thus having more detailed knowledge than the outsiders.

She even discovered several suspicious details.

Whenever Chen Jue went out, the shortest period was more than ten days, and the longest few months. Every time upon his return, he appeared very exhausted and haggard.

There were even a few times when she clearly saw faint traces of injuries on Chen Jue.

Therefore, although it’s unknown what Chen Jue did outside, You Su Yi believed it was definitely not the "traveling leisurely" as the outsiders assumed.

On the other hand, Jiang Yu took on all the defense work of Luoyan Town, and also, according to You Su Yi’s observation, Jiang Yu frequently covered up for Chen Jue’s tracks.

Especially in dealing with inspections by the upper-level Xiantai Battle Department, Jiang Yu did a lot to shield Chen Jue.

You Su Yi speculated that others might not know what Chen Jue frequently went missing for, but Jiang Yu certainly did!

Afterwards, came the battle that You Su Yi narrated, the one that made Chen Jue’s name famous across the realm!

Luoyan Town was a second-tier town, not the main target for "Evil" invasions, so battles were rare, and most of the time, the garrison only needed to maintain training intensity, with occasional minor skirmishes.

However, this time, an unexpected event occurred.

The sudden burst of Red Tide, with countless "Evil" appearing, fiercely attacking Luoyan Town—its scale and momentum were unprecedented since the town’s establishment.

The garrison fought bravely to the death in resistance, with Jiang Yu personally leading the fierce fight atop the city wall. At the same time, they sent messages to the Immortal Platform reporting the enemy situation and requesting reinforcements.

Under such circumstances, the Luoyan Town garrison under Jiang Yu’s command engaged in a bitter fight for days, suffering heavy casualties, and ultimately, Jiang Yu himself perished on the town walls!

Later, with the town on the brink of being overrun, the outward Chen Jue finally returned, ascended the city wall with a sword, and unleashed his sword that astonished the world!

One sword strike, killing tens of thousands of "Evil"!

"Zhou Qingning is Jiang Yu’s daughter, a righteous daughter."

On the phone, after You Su Yi uttered this phrase, Chen Yan’s expression slightly changed!

You Su Yi continued: "Jiang Yu was generous and open-minded in life, and people close to him and his subordinates loved to be near him. He was broad-minded and had a compassionate spirit, so during his lifetime, he adopted two righteous sons and one righteous daughter. His righteous sons and daughter also served in the military with their father in Luoyan Town.

During the intense battle, Jiang Yu heroically sacrificed himself, and his two righteous sons also perished on the city wall. Only the righteous daughter, Zhou Qingning, gravely injured and near death, was fortunately rescued by Chen Jue’s timely return, saving her life at the last moment.
