Qin Chen's gaze turned to the east.
There, a procession was approaching.
Moreover, the other party did not seem to be deliberately concealing their presence, allowing Qin Chen's superhuman perception to instantly discern them.
Cheng Yue also heard the commotion.
His eyes imdiately turned towards the direction of the noise, with a hint of anticipation deep within them.
When the procession ca into his view.
The panic and fear on Cheng Yue's face instantly faded away, replaced by overwhelming joy.
"Brother Shen!"
Cheng Yue shouted, waving to a young man within the procession, his eyes lighting up.
Shen Jing, being the young master of the Shen Family, one of the Twelve Families, naturally knew Cheng Yue.
Moreover, their friendship was quite deep.
However, ever since the incident involving Qin Chen, Shen Jing's personality and deanor had undergone a drastic transformation.
Qin Chen had awakened him completely.
Qin Chen also saw Shen Jing, and likewise, Shen Yaxin standing beside him.
A group of powerful individuals followed the siblings, presumably mbers of the Shen Family.
Shen Jing had co upon hearing the noise.
Yet, he would never have imagined.
That upon arriving here, he would see Qin Chen.
Their parting that day had rejuvenated Shen Jing.
Thus, in Shen Jing's eyes, Qin Chen was not just his life-saving benefactor.
Shen Jing believed he would never see Qin Chen again in this lifeti.
After all, soone like Qin Chen was on a completely different level, making it unlikely for their paths to cross.
Now, this unexpected encounter filled Shen Jing with initial surprise, followed by joy.
Shen Yaxin felt the sa, both surprised and delighted to encounter Qin Chen.
This left Cheng Yue feeling quite awkward.
Because Shen Jing and his companions seed to ignore him entirely, as if he weren't even there.
However, naturally, Cheng Yue did not know about the past events between Shen Jing and Qin Chen, so seeing Shen Jing arrive with the powerful mbers of the Shen Family, he assud he had escaped danger.
"You little bastard! You're done for!"
Cheng Yue shouted venomously at Qin Chen.
Upon hearing this, Shen Jing's expression instantly changed, becoming intensely cold.
To call his benefactor a bastard?
If not for Qin Chen's tily appearance, Shen Jing and Shen Yaxin might no longer be among the living.
He stepped towards Cheng Yue.
Cheng Yue had no idea what the frost on Shen Jing's face signified.
"Brother Shen, you ca just in ti."
"This little bastard killed many of the Cheng Family's powerful individuals and even wants to kill . His sins are unforgivable; you must help avenge them!"
"I want to cripple this little bastard and feed him to the demon beasts, so he can taste the pain of being devoured!"
Cheng Yue said to Shen Jing as he approached.
He glanced at Qin Chen, his gaze filled with malice.
Little did he know, his words.
Made the frost on Shen Jing's face intensify.
"Yinyin, I'm sorry for scaring you."
"However, the real show is about to begin."
Cheng Yue said to Qin Yinyin, who seed hesitant.
Qin Yinyin looked at the people behind Shen Jing, her expression troubled.
The people behind Shen Jing were far stronger than the previous Cheng Family team.
After all, in this place, the Twelve Families' mbers had their strength doubled.
Despite knowing Qin Chen's strength, Qin Yinyin was unsure if he could handle the formidable lineup on Shen Jing's side.
She had reluctantly compromised under Cheng Yue's pressure.
In her heart, she held admiration for Qin Chen.
At this mont, Shen Jing walked up to Cheng Yue.
Qin Yinyin bit her lip and spoke to Cheng Yue, "Young master, can't you spare his life?"
Hmm?
Cheng Yue's expression instantly changed, becoming extrely displeased.
Qin Chen was slightly surprised; he hadn't expected Qin Yinyin to plead for him.
"He killed so many of the Cheng Family mbers! He must die!" Cheng Yue said firmly.
Qin Yinyin turned pale; she knew Cheng Yue would not spare Qin Chen just because of her words.
"Brother Shen..."
Cheng Yue called out jovially to Shen Jing, seemingly about to say sothing more.
However, unexpectedly, Shen Jing suddenly spoke.
"You're right, you must die."
Cheng Yue's smile froze on his face.
"Brother Shen, you're mistaken, it's not , but this little bastard!"
Cheng Yue pointed at Qin Chen.
Smack—
Yet in the next instant, Shen Jing slapped Cheng Yue's face so fiercely that blood spurted out and even split his face.
Cheng Yue clutched his bleeding face, collapsed on the ground, full of disbelief.
Qin Yinyin was stunned as well because she was right beside Cheng Yue, and the fierce gust from Shen Jing's strike had stung her skin.
What was happening?
Though she didn't know Shen Jing, from his conversation with Cheng Yue, it was clear they were close friends.
So why had things turned out this way?
"I wasn't mistaken, the one who must die is you!"
Shen Jing coldly looked at Cheng Yue, who lay on the ground clutching his face.
Upon hearing this.
Everyone except Qin Chen and Shen Yaxin.
The rest, including the Shen Family's powerful individuals, were stunned.
They all knew about Shen Jing and Cheng Yue's friendship.
"Brother Shen, what do you an?!"
Cheng Yue was full of disbelief; if it weren't for the burning pain from his bleeding face, he would have thought this was all just a bad dream.
"The 'little bastard' you speak of is the benefactor who saved and Yaxin's lives!"
"He's the ntor who guided , Shen Jing, to change for the better!" Shen Jing said coldly.
Boom!
Cheng Yue felt as if struck by thunder, as if a lightning bolt had pierced his mind, shattering his entire worldview.
Qin Yinyin's heart trembled with shock as well.
Benefactor?
ntor?
How...how could this be?!
At this mont, Cheng Yue felt as if he had fallen from heaven to hell.
Originally thinking hope had arrived, he was now t with utter despair.
Qin Chen glanced at Shen Jing, a trace of surprise in his eyes.
In his mind, Shen Jing was a typical spoiled scion of a prominent family, but he hadn't expected Shen Jing to suddenly change his ways.
This both surprised and pleased Qin Chen.
"Shen Jing! We're both from the Twelve Families! Have you forgotten the agreent between the Twelve Families? Do you intend to break it?!"
At this mont, Cheng Yue had no choice but to invoke the Twelve Families.
When entering the ancestral land, the Twelve Families agreed to support each other.
"Compared to saving lives, that agreent ans nothing," Shen Jing replied.
