Chapter VII
(4th Update)
I can't wait to put on a pair of wings, soar into the sky, and rush back to Xiaohu Town in an instant.
In an anxious mood, he couldn't wait, and Chen Zong finally entered Xiaohu Town.
Compared to a few years ago, Xiaohu Town now seems quieter, a little less vibrant, and a little more barren.
Chen Zong didn't pay much attention to it, and his speed swept by quickly, like a ghost, and soon, he came to several wooden houses.
The wooden house is old and dusty, and it looks like it has been abandoned for a long time, and it has long been uninhabited.
This is my home, the place where I was born and raised, and I have memories for more than ten years.
The palm of his hand trembled and gently pushed open the door, the creaking sound was harsh, but it went straight to the heart, making Chen Zong's heart beat wildly, and even breathing became difficult.
The light in the room was dim, but it couldn't stop Chen Zong's eyes, and the slightest slenderness was displayed in his eyes, and the furniture was still those familiar furniture, but it was a little scattered, as if it was caused by the hurry when he left.
Chen Zong looked very carefully and did not miss any clues.
There are no traces of the battle.
There was no bloodstain.
I couldn't help but feel a little less restless in my heart.
"Daddy...... Aunt...... Where have you been?" muttering to himself, Chen Zong remembered that when he left, he had entrusted the real person of Phantom Cloud to take care of Daddy, and he didn't know what the situation was.
Quickly left for the Chen family's old house, which was also deserted and overgrown with weeds.
"Only now, the only way to go to the mine is to go. With a secret sound, Chen Zong unfolded his body again and headed towards the mine as fast as he could.
My heart was full of hope, looking forward to seeing Daddy in the mine, but also worried about seeing Daddy suffer in the mine, this contradiction tormented Chen Zong and made Chen Zong almost lose his former peace.
In a hurry, he finally rushed to the original Chenjia Iron Mine.
"Stop, who are you, what are you doing here?"
Immediately intercepted by a pair of martial artists, it was a group of martial artists who practiced the strength realm, there were eight people in total, and their faces were not good.
"Are you members of the Bai family?" Chen Zong asked rhetorically.
"That's right, we are the Bai family. One of the eight responded with a sneer.
Chen Zong's answer to them was to make a move.
The figure swept by, so fast that they couldn't see anything, but the eight people only felt that the world was spinning, and the strange thing was that it was obviously broad daylight, why did they quickly fall into darkness and see nothing.
He had come to guard this iron mine, and he still had a clear memory in his mind, and soon, Chen Zong rushed to the camp of the iron mine and directly caught the manager of this camp, who was also a deacon of the Bai family, who had the cultivation in the late stage of the cultivation realm.
"What about the Chen family?" Chen Zong's tone was low, like an undercurrent in the depths of the sea, containing astonishing anger and strength.
"What Chen family?" the deacon of the Bai family was stunned.
"The Chen family of Fengwu City. Chen Zong's eyes shone with a terrifying essence, implying a hint of murderous intent, which made the deacon of the Bai family tremble, as if he was shaking and sifting chaff, and he couldn't control it at all.
"Chen Jia...... Chen...... They are all in the mine...... "The deacon of the Bai family felt that he was about to be overwhelmed by a terrible killing machine, as if he would be swallowed by a huge wave at any time if he fell on the sea, he had no power to resist, he was terrified, he trembled again and again, his mind was almost blank, and he answered instinctively.
"Please come out. The deep voice was like a nightmare, reaching the ears of the deacon of the Bai family, unable to resist.
"Yes...... Is it ......" The deacon of the Bai family was pale and sweating profusely, and he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to call out all the Chen family members who were mining in the mine.
Ragged, skinny, and gray-faced, they looked very embarrassed, which made Chen Zong feel a little sad.
At a glance, there are a total of more than forty people, the older ones are almost seventy years old, and the younger ones are in their early teens, most of them have the cultivation of the Qi and Blood Realm, so that they can better mine and mine, as for the cultivation of the Jin Realm, there is no one.
There are hundreds of people in the Chen clan, and the three branches add up to hundreds, at least more than four hundred, but now there are only forty people left, and the rest are all dead.
An indescribable sadness emerged from the depths of Chen Zong's heart, and it was irrepressible.
In the final analysis, I am also a member of the Chen family, born in the Chen family, grew up in the Chen family, and have an inseparable relationship in the bloodline.
They are all their own people.
More than forty Chen family members stood side by side, looking at the Bai family members around them with fearful eyes, shrinking as if they were afraid of being beaten.
Suddenly, among the more than 40 people, Chen Zong saw a face that was still vaguely familiar.
"Is it Uncle Takeo?" staring at that vaguely familiar face, Chen Zong asked softly.
Chen Wuxiong stared at his right eye, which could still be used, and landed on Chen Zong's face, vaguely feeling that this young face was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, but the memory seemed to be a little old.
"I'm Chen Wuxiong, dare to ask the adult?" Chen Wuxiong asked cautiously, lest the louder voice would disturb the other party and be beaten violently by the other party.
"Uncle Wuxiong, I'm Chen Zong. Chen Zong's nose was sour, his eyes were red, and he almost burst into tears, Chen Wuxiong was so high-spirited as the head of the Xiaohu Town family, but now he looks like he has been tortured and devastated by suffering.
"Chen Zong......" Chen Wuxiong felt that the name was somewhat familiar, and it seemed that he had begun to awaken his memory for a long time.
A few years, in fact, are very short, just in the dark mines, from time to time to be beaten, that kind of days are simply torture, making the years as long as decades.
Chen Zong...... You are the son of Zhengtang......" Chen Wuxiong finally remembered, his right eye widened, and he couldn't help but exclaim out loud in surprise in his heart.
"That's me. Chen Zong nodded, forcibly holding back the sourness in his heart.
"You...... You...... You ......" Chen Wuxiong trembled again and again, unable to say anything.
Why did the Chen family fall to this point?
It has nothing to do with Chen Zong.
colluding with the Black Demon Sect and offending the Bai family, all of these are one of the reasons why the Chen family has fallen to this point.
Of course, whether there is collusion with the Black Demon Gate, Chen Wuxiong does not know, but the matter of offending the Bai family can be investigated.
Except for a few who escaped by chance, all the living people were arrested, reduced to slaves, mined in the dark caves all day long, and beaten from time to time.
There were more than 100 people who used to mine, but now there are only about 40 people left.
Who is to blame?
Is Chen Zong to blame?
But at this moment, Chen Wuxiong's heart couldn't give birth to any thoughts of blaming Chen Zong, it seemed that he was in trouble, and he seemed to see it.
This is a world where the law of the jungle eats the strong, and if you don't have the strength, you will be accused of all kinds of crimes, and then you will be slaughtered by others.
"Uncle Takeo, let you suffer. Chen Zong also knows very well that he is a fuse, if he did not have any conflicts with the Bai family back then, then the current Chen family will not become the target of the Bai family's revenge, and it will completely decline to this point.
Self-blame?
No.
Because the conflict with the Bai family back then was not what I wanted.
I just feel very uncomfortable and sad.
At the end of the day, it's all about strength.
If the Chen family is stronger than the Bai family, the Bai family will not even dare to let a fart go.
Strength!
It makes people chase, and it makes people resentful.
Strength!
Suddenly, Chen Zong's heart surged with monstrous anger and murderous intrigue.
"Call the Bai family over. Chen Zong spoke, his tone frighteningly calm.
"You...... What do you want to do......" asked the deacon of the Bai family.
"I'm going to announce something. Chen Zong's tone was still calm.
The deacon of the Bai family opened his mouth and summoned all the Bai family members in the mine to come over, and at the same time secretly made a gesture, asking one or two Bai family members to take this opportunity to leave here and return to Fengwu City as quickly as possible to move the rescue troops.
Chen Zong also found out, but did not stop it, because it was good.
Soon, except for the two people who left secretly, the other Bai family members all gathered here, and their fierce and vicious appearances made the forty or so Chen family members tremble, like sheep surrounded by wolves.
"Everyone is here, what are the commands...... You say. "The deacon of the Bai family put his posture very low, because he knew that he was not the opponent of the other party, so he adopted this low posture to confuse the other party, try to delay the time, and wait for the arrival of the Bai family's rescuers, and then the situation would be reversed.
"You ......" Chen Zong's gaze swept over in an instant, as if an incomparably terrifying cold lightning burst out, tearing through the sky, making every Bai family member unable to look at each other, and had to close their eyes: "All deserve to die!"
The last three words fell, like a judgment from hell.
Before the Bai family could react, the two silver sword lights were extremely bright, and they were incomprehensible.
Dozens of silver sword qi were densely packed through the air, each of which was so crystal clear and beautiful, but it implied an earth-shattering killing opportunity.
The silver sword qi seemed to have spirituality, swept past the forty or so Chen family members, and did not damage them in the slightest, but slashed at all the Bai family members.
The highest cultivation is just the cultivation of the seven turns of the strength realm, how can you resist Chen Zong's sword qi.
Before they even had time to react, one by one the Bai family members were killed by the silver sword qi, and they couldn't die anymore.
However, in the blink of an eye, Chen Wuxiong and the others were shocked to see that those fierce Bai family warriors who always abused them had now turned into corpses with residual warmth and fell in a pool of blood.
As if in a dream, the Chen family was in a trance, and they couldn't react at all.
For a long time, a gust of wind blew, which made people feel excited.
"Both...... All...... It's all dead......" Chen Wuxiong's voice was obscure, and he swallowed his saliva with difficulty.
The strength of these Bai family warriors is not weak, especially the strength of the Bai family deacon, which is very strong, in his own eyes, it is the first-class existence of the strong, and now he has been killed.
The point is that it was Chen Zong who killed him, and he couldn't see how he killed him, he saw a silver light flickering in front of him, but in the blink of an eye, he was dead.
"Uncle Takeo, all the elders and compatriots in the clan, you can go to the house over there to rest for the time being. Chen Zong said, and at the same time, he searched for things like energy pills from the deacon of the Bai family and others, and distributed them to more than forty Chen family members, so that they could take them to replenish their weak bodies.
Try to adjust your body as much as possible to facilitate your actions later.
