In the midst of the crowd, a few people with cold expressions stood there, each holding martial artist weapons, exuding a chilling killing intent.
If anyone recognized the middle-aged man at the forefront, they would realize that he is Chen ng, who was adopted by the Shaw Clan of Eight Immortals County from the Chen Family a long ti ago.
Chen ng was Chen Canghai's true eldest son, though now he has changed his surna to Shen, called Shen ng.
Shen ng is now in his thirties, and his cultivation level seems even more terrifying than Chen Canghai's.
His gaze was fixed on the high platform in the square.
Today, their enemies, the Ling Family, those canine bastards, were about to stand there and take over Yuhua Town.
He could not possibly let these people get what they wanted.
The people following Shen ng were his junior disciples from the Shaw Clan. After being adopted by the Shaw Clan, Shen ng gained a very high status there due to his outstanding talent.
Breaking through to the Yin-Yang Realm at thirty, although perhaps not worth ntioning compared to those rare geniuses, is quite impressive for Eight Immortals County.
He did not believe in the rumored stories. He always believed that the Ling Family used despicable ans to sabotage the Chen Family, leading to their complete annihilation.
In fact, the truth did not matter to him.
He rely wanted the Ling Family to pay the price. After all, although adopted by the Shaw Clan, he was undoubtedly a Chen Family mber.
"Young Master, should we get our hands on the Hell Fruit before considering revenge?"
Soone behind him said in a low voice.
He spoke very cautiously, seemingly afraid of offending Shen ng.
Shen ng said in a deep voice, "The Hell Fruit is guarded by that Lord Lin, and Ling Xiao has long seen it.
Even if we want to obtain the Hell Fruit, we must first kill Ling Xiao. That boy's strength is weak; kill him first to prevent the Hell Fruit's information from leaking, then slowly deal with the Ling Family."
Because the story did not highlight Ling Xiao's achievents, Shen ng had no idea how strong Ling Xiao had beco.
In his eyes, Ling Xiao was just a little insect that could be squashed anyti.
"But Young Master, the Three Great Families of Eight Immortals County are all present today. It might not be wise to act rashly."
Another person added.
"You do have a point. Let's wait until they return and look for an opportunity then."
Shen ng took a deep breath and said, "Anyway, that Ling Xiao is not valued by the Ling Family. I think killing him should be very easy."
As he spoke, his gaze turned icy as he looked at Ling Xiao among the crowd.
Ling Xiao furrowed his eyebrows and also looked at Shen ng.
From Shen ng's face, he saw the shadow of Chen Canghai, which made him frown even more.
"Ling Yuhua, does Chen Canghai have an illegitimate child outside?"
Ling Xiao suddenly asked.
Ling Yuhua didn't know why he was asking this but still shook his head and said, "I'm not sure about any illegitimate child, but Chen Canghai did adopt one of his sons to the Shaw Clan in Eight Immortals County a long ti ago."
"Does that person look like him?"
Ling Xiao pointed in Shen ng's direction and asked.
Ling Yuhua looked up, instantly shocked: "Uh-oh, I fear Shen ng has learned of the Chen Family's fate and returned for revenge. It's said this guy is exceptionally talented and has long been regarded as one of the heirs by the Shaw Clan.
His current cultivation level might not be weaker than mine."
"What are you afraid of? Does just one Shen ng scare you so much?"
Ling Xiao glared at Ling Yuhua in a vexed tone: "Did last night's incident scare you so badly you wet your pants?
The Ling Yuhua I know is a ruthless person with no regard for anyone."
Ling Yuhua smiled bitterly, at a loss for how to respond.
After last night's events, he really felt like he had beco a little more timid.
Just a little more, and his Ling Family would have been entirely wiped out in Yuhua Town.
Fortunately, Ling Xiao helped them.
Although Ling Xiao helped them at a price, it was still a very good outco.
He truly couldn't handle such intense situations anymore.
"No wonder that guy has such strong killing intent towards . It seems he really plans to co for revenge. However, the fact that I killed so many of their family hasn't spread out. Why is his hatred towards so particular?"
Ling Xiao was sowhat puzzled.
"The Hell Fruit!"
Suddenly, Ling Xiao recalled the Hell Fruit he once saw in the Featherization Mountain Range.
He imdiately understood the reason.
This Shen ng wanted to kill him not out of hatred but to prevent him from leaking information about the Hell Fruit.
It was rumored that Lord Lin was killed in the Featherization Mountain Range last night. If the speculation was correct, it must have been done by this group of people.
It was evident that the Hell Fruit was indeed very enticing.
But that thing belongs to , Ling Xiao. No one can take it away!
In an instant, Ling Xiao felt the need to train even harder.
Only by becoming stronger can he prevent others from taking what he covets.
Shen ng, and the Shaw Clan behind him, are like a giant overlord to Yuhua Town.
Once the Shaw Clan joins this dispute, the situation will beco very dire.
While Ling Xiao was contemplating these matters, Eight Immortals County's Governor Lin Yuan had already announced the final results of this year's Featherization Festival.
"Since all the Chen Family's disciples are deceased, the winner of this year's Featherization Festival is the Ling Family.
Ling Family's master Ling Jiaojiao will beco the guardian of Yuhua Town for the next ten years!"
With Lin Yuan's voice falling, the scene turned into a dead silence.
Monts later, it turned chaotic again, and many people began shouting indignantly.
"Isn't the Ling Family head Ling Yuhua? Why has it beco a little girl?"
"That's right, what right does Ling Jiaojiao have to dare to be Yuhua Town's guardian?"
"Shut your mouths for !"
Lin Yuan glanced at Ling Xiao, trembling inside. He really feared this madman would turn Yuhua Town into purgatory in a fit of anger.
So he quickly made everyone stop discussing.
His words may not have much effect on Ling Xiao, but they were still very potent for the other people in Yuhua Town.
No one dared to defy his orders.
The scene instantly fell silent.
"Ling Jiaojiao's appointnt as guardian is mandated by Eight Immortals County and by , along with official seals and credentials issued by the court!
Whoever dares to look down on the guardian is looking down on , Eight Immortals County, and the court!"
Lin Yuan's words were not only aid at those causing a commotion but also directed at Shen ng, who intended to seek revenge.
He was well aware that Chen Canghai had such a son.
Upon hearing Lin Yuan's words, many people fell silent.
Although they were unwilling to accept Ling Jiaojiao, they did not dare to disobey the words of this county governor, nor the orders of the court.
They could only accept it obediently.
However, Shen ng cast a cold glance at Governor Lin Yuan, thinking to himself: "You might scare others, but try scaring , Shen ng, and you're dreaming!
After all, this world is survival of the fittest. As long as I kill Ling Jiaojiao and destroy the Ling Family, even the court won't say anything.
Do not forget, my biological father was the Feather Transformation King of the Chen Dynasty, yet when he died, no one investigated, right?
This is the bloody reality!"
