I Can Deduce Arts by Slaying Demons

Chapter 293 - 246: The Truth! The Wen Family Patriarch, Wen Lingyun’s Breakdown!

In the dim room, the flickering candlelight danced gently in the breeze.

The seemingly elegant man was dressed in a light-colored long gown.

There was an unmistakable fierceness on the man’s face, and he was none other than Wen Mochen, the son-in-law of the previous emperor, and husband to Princess Xingyue, who was immensely favored during the emperor’s reign.

The Wen Family, as one of the noble families in the Eastern Domain, has always been an existence with deep roots.

And the Wen Family’s forefather, Wen Fengyuan, is an extraordinary existence.

Wen Fengyuan was once the headmaster of the Academy of Great Xia.

At the same time, Wen Fengyuan also held the position of Director of the National Academy of Great Xia, and is regarded as a pinnacle figure in both the court of Great Xia and the martial arts realm.

His influence has even spread throughout the political and cultural scenes of Great Xia, with at least one-fifth of the officials in the Great Xia court having various ties to Wen Fengyuan.

Whether as his disciples, or old friends, this vast network of relationships has made the Wen Family’s prestigious status in the Great Xia imperial court as steady as a mountain.

As for martial cultivation, Wen Fengyuan’s Martial Arts Realm is unfathomable.

A decade or so ago, when the previous emperor was alive, he had already reached Great Success in the Divine Mansion Realm, and his Primordial Spirit presence was a towering titan.

Finally, the former emperor highly recognized Wen Fengyuan’s achievements, and when he retired, personally decreed to bestow upon him the title of Duke Rong of Great Xia.

This dukedom not only symbolizes Wen Fengyuan’s personal merits but also represents the Wen Family’s status in the heart of the Great Xia imperial family.

Because Duke Rong is one of the highest noble titles in the imperial court, a privilege granted only to those of illustrious lineage and outstanding merit among royal relatives or long-serving ministers.

Thus, even though Wen Fengyuan has retired, his illustrious reputation still commands respect far and wide.

And a decade ago, when the Wen Family’s eldest legitimate son Wen Mochen became the son-in-law of the Great Xia imperial family.

The Wen Family’s reputation in the Eastern Domain reached its peak, with a status second only to the eight great families throughout the entire Great Xia dynasty.

In the Eastern Domain, the Wen Family’s power was at its zenith, so much so that the governors of various provinces in the Eastern Domain mostly had to look to the Wen Family.

To take the governor of Wentai Province for instance, even holding the power of a provincial governor, still had to routinely visit in person.

Bow down in creed to Duke Rong Wen Fengyuan, giving respectful greetings, keeping a humble posture, fearing even the slightest offense.

Therefore, as the eldest legitimate son of the Wen Family and the future heir, Wen Mochen naturally draws much attention.

He not only bears the family’s expectations but also enjoys supreme honor and martial arts resources under the attention of the Wen Family’s forefather, Wen Fengyuan.

Now, Wen Mochen, at merely about thirty years of age, has already cultivated to the level of Inner Qi Perfection.

This owes to Wen Mochen’s own slightly lacking martial aptitude.

Otherwise, with the sea of resources from the Wen Family, he could have long ascended to the Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm.

"You wicked woman, just stay put here for me!"

Wen Mochen’s voice seemed to squeeze out from between his teeth, cold as ice, with each word carrying deep-seated hatred.

His poisonous gaze shot directly at the woman on the bed, as if the next moment he would tear her apart, limb by limb.

"In half a year, the Wen Family will become one of the new eight great families."

"Several families have already agreed to grant our Wen Family that legendary item once the major event is accomplished."

"Ten-Stripe Sun-level Sacrificial Artifact!"

Ten-Stripe Sun-level Sacrificial Artifact!

As the future patriarch of the Wen Family, Wen Mochen naturally knew some crucial secrets within the Great Xia dynasty.

The Ten-Stripe Sun-level Sacrificial Artifact is the ultimate power of the Great Xia dynasty, unparalleled.

The Great Xia royal family, the eight great families, the five ultimate forces all stand at the peak of the Great Xia dynasty, thanks to the tremendous power of the Ten-Stripe Sun-level Sacrificial Artifact!

If their Wen Family successfully acquires this legendary Ten-Stripe Sun-level Sacrificial Artifact.

By then, the Wen Family’s forefather Wen Fengyuan could leverage the power of the Ten-Stripe Artifact to stand at the pinnacle of martial artists in the Great Xia dynasty.

And as the future patriarch of the Wen Family, he himself might one day glimpse the power of the Ten-Stripe Artifact.

Visualizing himself commanding the Ten-Stripe Sun-level Sacrificial Artifact filled Wen Mochen’s mind, drawing him deeper into his thoughts, his eyes suddenly blazing with greed.

Suddenly, Wen Mochen threw his head back and laughed aloud, his laughter sharp and manic, echoing endlessly in the silent room.

After laughing, Wen Mochen abruptly flicked his sleeve and strode away majestically.

Wen Mochen’s utterly exuberant laughter had not yet completely dissipated.

At the doorway, a vague figure, ghostly and silent, appeared.

The tall figure suddenly stood indifferently before Wen Mochen.

Everything happened too suddenly; Wen Mochen even had no time to react.

The next second, a slap containing infinite power, accompanied by a rushing wind, struck his face fiercely.

"Boom!"

A loud crash resounded, the crisp sound seemingly deafening.

Under this immense force, Wen Mochen’s entire body was like a cannonball being launched, uncontrollably flying backward.

The terrifying leftover force from the slap was unstoppable; wherever Wen Mochen’s body passed, obstacles were swept aside.

Finally, Wen Mochen’s body rebounded off a pillar by the wall and fell heavily to the ground.
