"My family is indeed from the Tang Family in Shu~~"
"Get out of here! You’re in the wrong place!"
Chen Xuantian chased away the Tang Family mbers and glanced at the Chen Family,
"Since you also know these ancient stories, don’t you know the cause of the old grievances? Don’t you know how Dachong got his nickna?
Alright, let tell you. Back then, Chen Dachong considered himself unmatched in bravery, wanted to be the best in the world, always competing and showing off his strength, going to various places to challenge others. When others didn’t respond, he’d sneak in at night, waylaying and assaulting like a fierce tiger."
"He ended up causing rivers of blood, offending everyone. He went too far, eventually causing his entire family to be killed by the Seventy-six Thieves. Where did the descendants co from?"
Chen Debiao was taken aback,
"How do you know...?"
Chen Xuantian impatiently struck him with the flat of his sword,
"What are you ’you you’ and ’ ’ about? Is acting like a fool fun for you?"
Unexpectedly, this fat man knew so much about these family matters and even knew techniques that the Chen Family had never learned. Maybe he was a descendant of the ancestor, Chen Debiao could only sullenly reply,
"Who’s pretending... Though we are not the Chen Family from Ba County, we are from the Chen Family of Shanyang. Our family offended a eunuch back then, causing our downfall and oppression by the governnt, and couldn’t survive in the Capital anymore.
Later we heard that a clan mber had cultivated Martial Arts in Kunzhou, so we moved to seek refuge. Unfortunately, the ancestor had already left for a Taoist pilgrimage by the ti we arrived. Fortunately, the ancestor wiped out the Seventy-six Thieves, earning a fearso reputation, making everyone in Kunzhou fear him like a tiger.
Both families were of the sa clan, so we continued to honor him as an ancestor, still using the Chen Family na of Ba County..."
Chen Xuantian, after so calculation, found no discrepancies, and knew this was pretty much the truth. After all, clan bloodlines were ant to be used this way.
When the trees were lush and the family was thriving, it was ti to branch out and expand. So during turmoil, there would be relatives to seek refuge with. If there’s famine in Shanxi, go to Shandong; if there’s flooding in Henan, escape to Hebei. If bullied in Sizhou, it’s only logical to seek protection under Kunzhou’s ancestor..."
"Ha ha! I knew you’re not from the Chen Family!"
Unexpectedly, the Tang Family, eavesdropping nearby, jumped out again,
"Young Hero, you heard them! These people are outsiders! They have nothing to do with Ancestor Chen! We, the Tang Family, are the natives here!
And our old lady and Ancestor Chen were married! Rightly wed! The Tang Family are the true inheritors of the Iron Crane Piercing Clouds!
Can you use the Iron Crane Skill? No! We can! Ha! Ha!"
Then, to add persuasion, the Tang Family mbers began posing like gymnastics, with movents recalling a Great Roc Spreading Its Wings and a Golden Rooster Standing Alone...
"Shut up!"
Chen Xuantian’s face changed drastically! He quickly perford a flying crane top press, bouncing over like a ball to suppress them!
"Damn your nonsense!"
Before he could suppress this side, Chen Debiao was also provoked, struggling to get up,
"Bold nonsense! Stealing my Divine Skill! Seizing my family property! Robbing my wife! And you still dare to spout such lies! Absolutely shaless! I will never reconcile with the Tang Family!"
The Tang Family would not stand for it,
"Who’s lying! Who’s lying! Our family’s Grandmother Tang Xian’er road the Jianghu with the Iron Crane Piercing Clouds! Known as the Immortal Crane Lovers! Who in Chuanzhong doesn’t know it!
Grandmother said! They were rightly wed! Married with a ceremony! The Iron Crane Skill was passed to our Tang Family as proof! It’s you outsiders who’ve seized the ancestral property of the Chen Family!"
"Liar!" "You’re the liar!" "Your Chen Family starts and abandons!" "Your Tang Family has no sha!" "Screw you!" "Bastard!"
The two families began hurling stones like monkeys, and given their previous injuries and exhaustion, it was clear the stone-throwing was more symbolic ...
Chen Xuantian’s head was throbbing.
Peng Ju’s Daoist Collection supposedly had such a marriage, but he hadn’t had the ti to study all his collections, and hadn’t delved into such gossipy privacy. So he quickly flipped through...
Alright, so Grandmother Tang Xian’er was indeed a well-known ancestor cultivator in Kunzhou, with a thousand years of Taoist cultivation, and when tallied, she was indeed a Daoist companion of Chen Dachong, but not his original spouse.
After all, in ancient tis, people married early, and Chen Dachong seed to have had an arranged marriage from childhood. Tang Xian’er seed to be a confidante he t later during his martial exploits and Jianghu wanderings, presumably encountered during a challenge. From martial arts sparring to Jianghu adventures, it’s only natural they developed feelings for each other.
And as said before, the Seventy-six Thieves slaughtered the Chen Family, including Chen Dachong’s original wife. Thus, Chen Dachong later went mad, chasing enemies into the mountains for vengeance, ultimately eliminating his foes, severing worldly ties, and in the mountains, Cheng Tao was seized by Peng Ju, as had been accurately foreseen by Lingxu.
Tang Xian’er was naturally intent on rekindling her bond with Chen Dachong, but Peng Ju was focused on Enlightennt and paid no mind to worldly marriages, especially with his sights set on the company’s eldest princess, scoffing at the countryside girl.
Thus, Tang Xian’er’s ties were also severed; however, Peng Ju didn’t completely abandon her but passed on skills, found Heavenly and Earthly Treasures for her, aiding her reach the Nascent Soul Realm, considering the matter closed.
But now it seems this was far from over; Chen and Tang families had misunderstandings and conflicts for centuries due to various twists of fate. This lodramatic situation is truly lantable...
But no matter how it ends! Does it fall to him, Chen Xuantian, to sort this out!?
"Silence!"
Chen Xuantian was extrely frustrated, silencing the crowd with a transmission, almost dying of anger as he turned to find...
In the midst of this chaos, Shen Caiwei was quite the sight, watching with gleaming eyes as if enjoying the drama. Yes, she’d even pulled out seeds to snack on...
"I don’t care about your family matters! You! Your Shen family mbers are now at the Sword Sect of Nine Yin Mountain! Are you going or not?"
Shen Caiwei blinked,
"? My family? But didn’t my father go to Qingcheng Mountain? How did he end up at Nine Yin Mountain?"
Chen Xuantian huffed,
"Not your dad, but a lot of your aunts, sisters, and cousins. Are you going or not?"
Shen Caiwei was montarily confused,
"Eh? Do I have so many relatives? I thought I was alone..."
Chen Xuantian had no ti to console her,
"Your father probably won’t be back for a while. If you want to reunite with your family, I’ll take you to Nine Yin Mountain. If you don’t, it’s up to you."
The Chen and Tang families, hearing this, were anxious and jumped up.
"Silence!"
Chen Xuantian brushed his sleeve, pushing them back down,
"Your Tang Family ca to save her, right? Let her decide herself. Whoever she wants to be with, she can choose, no forcing! As for you, you’ve cared for her all these years, fulfilling your family’s promise.
I’ll offer this Cultivation Technique as compensation; let’s end it here for today. No matter how you fight later, it’s not my concern, alright?"
Chen Debiao could naturally not swallow this situation, but the situation was in favor of the other, and looking at the book handed to him with the clear words, "Crane Cry Nine Heavens Divine Skill," he fell silent. After all, killing only vents anger for a mont, but reclaiming the ancestral skills is a great rit for the family.
Seeing the sides calm down, or at least appear to in front of him, Chen Xuantian intended to smooth things over for now.
Yet just as he shifted his focus to Shen Caiwei, a sudden scream ca from Chen Debiao behind him!
Chen Xuantian instantly locked onto the assailant suddenly erging from the ground behind him, sweeping Longyuan backward, scything through with sword light, brilliance flashed and sword energy surged, enveloping Chen Debiao, but instantly cutting the giant centipede attacking Debiao to pieces!
In truth, Chen Xuantian had earlier sensed sothing approaching underground, prepared and swift, the centipede hadn’t ti to bite Chen Debiao. However, Debiao seed to have been injured by another hidden weapon from elsewhere, his hand turning dark purple, ’Crane Cry Nine Heavens Divine Skill’ falling, swept away by the centipede’s tail as it died, sending the scroll high into the forest, where it landed in the slender, webbed hand.
Witnessing this, the Chen Family mbers’ faces changed dramatically, while the Tang Family fell to the ground,
"Paying respects to Grandmother!"
