When he first erged in the world, the Chen Family suffered the calamity of a complete massacre. Therefore, he had only heard of the na of the Chen Family but was unaware of their actual power.
However, the fact that the two orphans of the Chen Family could prompt the Grand General Helian Tiehua to personally initiate a rescue mission indicated that the Chen Family was undoubtedly not weak. This vaguely led him to speculate about the Chen Family's power, though he still lacked a direct understanding.
Today, at Chen Si's villa, the sight of so much wealth was already astonishing. And according to Chen San, this was rely a small portion brought back by a few loyal servants. Just how strong was the Chen Family's financial power?
If the Chen Family possessed such strength, then how exceptionally powerful was the Huangfu Family, which used to be equal to the Chen Family? By this calculation, the Chen Family and the Huangfu Family back in the day were certainly not weaker financially than the Shen Family in Western Hangzhou today!
How could two such grand families be completely massacred in a single night? The Chen Family faced betrayal from their servants, bringing outsiders to slaughter them, which was understandable. But the Huangfu Family had no such betrayal from their servants, so how did they end up in such a plight? How could two great families lack extraordinary figures guarding them? How powerful were their enemies to overco them?
Cui Yu only vaguely knew so of the old stories. As for the true enemy of the Chen Family and the Huangfu Family, even he didn't know. However, thinking about it, their enemies must have been anything but simple figures!
"Please sit anywhere!" Chen San invited everyone to sit down. So young girls had already brewed tea and served it, allowing everyone to enjoy.
Earlier, having witnessed Chen San's strength as the White Horse, the Demon Queen, Ghost King, and Nine Nether Scholar dared not put on airs and respectfully sat at the table. However, Chen San paid no attention to these three, focusing mainly on chatting with the brothers Cui Yu and Cui Yulong.
After a bit of casual conversation, Chen San only asked about Cui Yulong's situation over the years, never ntioning the matter of Black Asura. Cui Yu was a bit anxious; they had co here for the Black Asura, so how could this matter be skipped?
"Brother Chen San..." Seizing a chance, Cui Yu steered the topic over: "I heard there was a small misunderstanding between our Slaughter Sect's Black Asura and Brother Chen San two days ago. Could you tell us what happened?"
Chen San smiled lightly, leaned back on the sofa, and said, "Misunderstanding is too much. He just killed a partner of my younger sister and even had a skirmish with her. It's no big deal. But you know how girls can be; once they're truly upset, it's hard to coax them. Therefore, we have no choice but to have him stay here for a few days!"
"Alas, Black Asura often acts without regard for discretion. Where he has offended, I apologize to Brother Chen San on his behalf!" Cui Yu stood up, bowing slightly to Chen San, and said, "But he's a mber of our Slaughter Sect. I wonder, Brother Chen San, if you could return him to us for the sake of our sect? We are willing to fully compensate for any losses incurred to Miss Chen Si. What do you think, Brother Chen San?"
"Originally, it wouldn't be a big deal to return him to you, given that you've co here. However..." Chen San sighed, glanced at Cui Yu and Cui Yulong, and said, "Things have beco sowhat complicated now!"
"What's happened?" Cui Yu rushed to ask. Black Asura is one of the seven hidden figures within the Slaughter Sect, extrely important to them. So they disregarded everything to rush to West Gate just to bring Black Asura back.
Chen San said, "Returning Black Asura to you wouldn't have been difficult. But just this morning, so friends from the Shen Family in Western Hangzhou also arrived at West Gate, asking us to hand Black Asura over to them."
"What!?"
"People from the Shen Family in Western Hangzhou are here too?"
"Where are they!"
All the Slaughter Sect mbers shouted out in unison, even Cui Yulong placed his hand on the wooden box in his arms, his expression instantly turning extrely grim.
Chen San, however, remained calm and said, "Friends from the Slaughter Sect, we've long heard about your matter with the Shen Family in Western Hangzhou. As for who's right or wrong, it's not our place to judge as outsiders. But, our Chen Family is friends with both your sect and the Shen Family. Since both parties have co to us, handing Black Asura to either side doesn't seem appropriate. So, since you're here, I've considered whether we could discuss this with the Shen Family and find a way to handle it together!"
The Slaughter Sect mbers exchanged glances, and Cui Yu frowned slightly. He was not foolish; he could see Chen San was deliberately trying to make them confront the Shen Family. It seed even the Chen Family wanted them to clash with the Shen Family in Western Hangzhou.
But, thinking it over, it was understandable. The Shen Family in Western Hangzhou had dominated the Six Southern Provinces for years, making them a target of envy. Chen San and Chen Si, as siblings, surely wanted to restore the Chen Family's prestige from back in the day. However, within the Six Southern Provinces, under the shadow of the Shen Family's glory, no matter how well they perform, they cannot restore the Chen Family's forr fa. Thus, they might see this as an opportunity to weaken the Shen Family's power and pave the way for the rise of the Chen Family. Or perhaps, once the Shen Family's prestige declines, the Grand General from Mongolia might step into the Six Southern Provinces!
Though aware of Chen San's intentions, it didn't matter to the Slaughter Sect mbers. The feud between them and the Shen Family is deep-seated, and conflict is inevitable.
"That would be the best!" Cui Yu said calmly, "In that case, can Brother Chen San please bring the people from the Shen Family over? Of course, if you can also bring Black Asura, that would be even better—we can resolve everything here!"
"Alright!" Chen San smiled, clapped his hands, and shortly after, two robust n appeared, escorting a tightly bound man.
This man's face was fierce, his expression cold, eyes filled with chilling intent, skin extrely dark—none other than Black Asura, one of the Seven Hiddens of the Slaughter Sect.
Seeing Cui Yu and the others, Black Asura frowned imdiately and then said in a deep voice, "Cui Yu, hurry and untie . I want to settle the score with him!"
The Ghost King Li Ruoyuan sneered, "Give it a rest. Even if there were two of you combined, you wouldn't be his match. It's just embarrassing to fight again!"
"Li, you dare insult !" Black Asura said coldly with fury. "Once I'm free, you'll be the first I kill!"
Li Ruoyuan sneered, "Hmph, Black Asura, keep running your mouth and I won't save you. Today, you can die here, and let's see how you kill then!"
"Want dead? It's not that easy!" Black Asura replied proudly.
"Not easy indeed." The Demon Queen He Qinghua mocked, "Even tied up, you talk so big. Now that's truly difficult!"
Black Asura blushed slightly, gritting his teeth, he said angrily, "I was careless and fell for his trap. Chen, if you have the guts to release , let's have another fight!"
Chen San ignored him completely and smiled at Cui Yu, "Mr. Cui, you see. It's not that our Chen Family wants conflict with the Slaughter Sect, but we're forced by circumstances. If all Slaughter Sect mbers were as polite as Mr. Cui, there wouldn't be such misunderstandings!"
Cui Yu looked a bit embarrassed and said, "Brother Chen San, I'm really sorry."
"Alright then, since Mr. Cui and Brother Cui Er have co in person, I must give you face." Chen San stood up and said, "I'll bring out the Shen Family people now, and you can discuss among yourselves here. Whoever takes them away is up to you; our Chen Family won't get involved!"
Chen San headed into the inner room, and the mbers of the Slaughter Sect imdiately gathered together. Cui Yu furrowed his brow deeply and said, "We haven't assembled all Seven Hiddens of the Slaughter Sect. Going against the Shen Family now, our chances don't seem promising. Be extra careful and don't underestimate them!"
Everyone nodded in agreent, except Cui Yulong who looked excited, clutching the wooden box to his chest. He had been at the Western Border for ten years just to seek revenge against the Shen Family in Western Hangzhou. Today, with his foe finally before him, it's ti to demand so payback!
Cui Yu wanted to say a few things to Cui Yulong, but seeing the wooden box in Cui Yulong's embrace, he decided to remain silent. Among them, Cui Yulong was the strongest now, having received personal instruction from the Purple Robed Lama. Moreover, with the weapon Black Gold Blade, few in the Shen Family could stand against him!
Chen San entered the inner room. Less than five minutes later, he ca out with several n and won. One of them stood out, an impressive figure roughly 1.75 ters tall, with a fiery red butterfly tattoo on her half-exposed *****—none other than West Gate Fire Butterfly Chen Si.
Upon seeing Chen Si, the eyes of the Nine Nether Scholar imdiately lit up. However, upon looking at Chen Si's hands, the sparkle in his eyes dimd again.
Chen Si was undoubtedly a beauty, but unfortunately, after years of cultivating Iron Sand Palm, her hands were covered with calluses, far from the delicate hands of a young maiden. These hands had fewer suitors for her and made her appear much stronger!
However, the most attention-drawing person was not Chen San or Chen Si but the man standing between them. A man about 1.80 ters tall, with a stately look, high-bridged hawk nose, and almond-shaped Phoenix eyes—though not as handso as the Nine Nether Scholar, this man's appearance was likely to catch the attention of young won even more!
Everyone was well aware that anyone standing between the siblings Chen San and Chen Si definitely had a remarkable status. However, Cui Yu also knew in his heart that this man was absolutely not from the Shen Family in Western Hangzhou. Over the years, he had thoroughly understood the Shen Family in Western Hangzhou, and they had no such character!
"I have sent word to the Shen Family, and they'll be here in no more than ten minutes!" Chen San chuckled, "Let introduce everyone first. This is my sworn brother, Ao Muchan!"
