Chapter 42: Invitation to Death
The battle ended in an unexpectedly large victory, and the Chen family did not lose a single person. After cleaning up the battlefield, the Chen family did not stop much, and quickly returned, and all the personnel closed their doors and began to prepare for a big battle that could break out at any time.
After this battle, he killed one elder of the Jin family and the Zhu family's three stars of the Qi Martial Realm, and two of the two strong men of the Qi Martial Realm, which greatly weakened the strength of the two families.
The strength of the two major families has been weakened, Chen Yuanshan is much more relieved, coupled with the strong rise of Chen Zheng, the enemy has eliminated his own strength, and their Chen family already has the strength to fight head-on with the two major families.
Chen Badao's family was killed, the unstable factor was eradicated, and the family moved towards unity. The Great Elder also changed his previous style and fully supported Chen Yuanshan. The Chen family was unprecedentedly condensed together and unanimously external.
The elders discussed letting Chen Zheng take charge of some family affairs, but Chen Zheng politely refused, not because he didn't want to help, but because he knew that he was not good at managing family affairs, and if he forcibly intervened, it would only add to the chaos, so he returned to the courtyard to cultivate with apologies.
On the other hand, the Jin family and the Zhu family received the news that the Great Elder, the Second Elder and others were ambushed, and they fell directly into a rage, and Zhu Difeng almost led the Zhu family to attack the Chen family directly, and was finally stopped by the cautious Jin Yuanbiao.
"Brother Zhu! The more angry you are, the more calm you must be! Elder Zhu, Elder Jintian, and the others have been killed, and our strength has dropped by almost half, and if we attack rashly, there is no chance of victory! Chen Yuanshan is probably waiting for us to send them to the door at this moment!"
"Damn Chen Zheng! Damn Chen Yuanshan! Damn the Chen family! I knew this, I should have forcibly exterminated them in the first place!" Zhu Difeng was full of anger, but he had nowhere to vent, and smashed the tables and chairs in the room.
He regretted it incomparably in his heart, when he formed an alliance with the Jin family, he was afraid of being nameless, and he did not attack the Chen family at the first time, but now he was calculated and fell into a passive situation.
After roaring for a long time, he slowly calmed down, "What is the high opinion of the Golden City Lord?"
Jin Yuanbiao's face was also full of resentment, he closed his eyes and thought about it for a long time, and said slowly: "For today's plan, the only way to do this is to ask someone for help!"
"Well, it seems that there is only that!" Zhu Difeng nodded, gritted his teeth and said, "This time we must not be soft, we must not leave the chickens and dogs killed by the Chen family!"
When Jin Yuanbiao and Zhu Difeng were discussing the conspiracy, Chen Zheng stood alone in the remote courtyard, standing quietly with a long sword, as if he was in a daze.
In fact, he is not in a daze, but in understanding.
In the battle with the great elder of the Zhu family, although he won, it was not easy to win, he seriously recalled the entire battle process and summed up the lessons and lessons.
The powerful and heavy sword of the Great Elder of the Zhu Family left a very deep impression on him, that knife was fast and powerful, and it exuded a force similar to potential.
Thinking of this, Chen Zheng suddenly had a hint of epiphany. potential, everywhere. If the fist can be powerful, why can't the sword be powerful?
The fist can be powerful, and the sword can also be powerful!
Chen Zheng quietly looked at the long sword in his hand, recalled the "Wind and Waves Slash" attacked by the great elder of the Zhu family, recalled the fist momentum, and comprehended the momentum of the sword.
Momentum is originally an extremely mysterious thing, and the vast majority of martial artists can't understand it even when they see others show it, let alone comprehend it.
If anyone knew that Chen Zheng imagined the sword power out of thin air, they would definitely laugh at him for being arrogant and not knowing the height of the sky. However, everything is possible, there are exceptions to everything, and Chen Zheng, who has a very high level of understanding, meditated for a long time and suddenly moved.
The long sword in his hand stabbed out in the air, seemingly slow and fast, and the trajectory was erviant, and there was something dizzying fluttering.
"Boom......"
A sword stabbed out, followed by several swords, and in the blink of an eye, there were dozens of swords, swords and swords were stacked, sword shadows filled the air, and a compelling momentum emanated.
"Click!"
With a crisp sound, a water tank ten meters away from which the long sword was pointed suddenly exploded and a crack opened, spreading at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The sword moves continued, the sword momentum became more and more intense, and the water tank was finally overwhelmed, and the crack began with a click, and the water in the water tank made a loud noise and flowed all over the ground.
Sure enough, there is a sword momentum!
Chen Zheng was overjoyed, although he only comprehended a little bit of the surface of the sword momentum, but the power of the sword momentum can already be glimpsed, if it is practiced like the fist to the point of cutting, it will definitely improve a lot of combat effectiveness.
In the following days, Chen Zheng hid in his courtyard and practiced day and night, practicing swords during the day, comprehending sword momentum, and cultivating qi at night, constantly refining the original qi in the martial veins and stabilizing the cultivation realm.
Ten days have passed, and Chen Zhengqi's three-star cultivation realm has been further stabilized, and he has a deeper understanding of the sword momentum.
Within ten days, the Jin family and the Zhu family were unusually quiet, did not take any action, and even stopped raiding the shops of the Chen family, and seemed to have regained their usual peace.
On this day, after Chen Zheng practiced for a while, he found his father to understand the situation of the Jin family and the Zhu family, but suddenly received an invitation letter from the Jin family.
The invitation letter said very politely, on the eighteenth birthday of Jin Ling, the eldest lady of the Jin family, I invited Chen Yuanshan, the head of the Chen family, and Chen Zheng, the young master, to go to the banquet.
At first glance, there is a conspiracy.
Chen Zheng and his father Chen Yuanshan glanced at each other, but neither spoke. The most elders, however, in the family, had already begun to discuss.
"Master of the house, you must not go! This is obviously a Hongmen feast! They must have set a trap and are waiting to kill us!"
"If you don't go, won't you be laughed at and have no guts! Now that the Jin family and the Zhu family are already weak, I'm afraid it's not so simple to kill us!"
"It's not easy to kill us! But the Jin family is their territory, and they are not familiar with the environment, so we will rush forward and face all kinds of ambushes and plots, and we will inevitably be at a disadvantage!"
"The banquet invited not only the three major families, but also other celebrities in Sunrise City, it is impossible for them to openly plot against us! We went to take the opportunity to suppress the momentum of the two families!"
"How is it impossible to plot against us! They can't do anything! I'll not go!"
"Alright, shut up!" the Great Elder interrupted the chaotic crowd and looked at Chen Yuanshan, "Listen to what the head of the family has to say!"
Chen Yuanshan leaned back in his chair, pondered for a long time, and looked at Chen Zheng, "Zheng'er, what do you think?"
Chen Zheng scratched his head and said one word calmly, "Go!"
"Go?"
Hearing this, many people who opposed going to the banquet exclaimed, and secretly said in their hearts, it is really careless, it is obviously a trap, and they still jump into it, they are still young and frivolous!
However, they also voiced their opposing opinions, because Chen Zheng's current status in the Chen family was close to that of the Great Elder, and he had a very heavy right to speak.
Everyone looked at Chen Yuanshan in unison, and this matter still had to be decided by the head of the family. Chen Yuanshan was quite calm, looked at Chen Zheng and asked with a smile, "Reason?"
"Everyone knows that this is a trap! The Jin family and the Zhu family definitely think that we will not go! If we go, it will be just a surprise and catch them off guard!" Chen Zheng analyzed.
"Well, I think so too!" Chen Yuanshan nodded slightly, agreeing with Chen Zheng's statement, and then announced, "Let's go!"
"Head of ......"
"Needless to say! It's the Longtan Tiger's Den, and we have to break through it too!"
There were still people who wanted to dissuade them, but they were stopped by Chen Yuanshan with a wave of his hand, he looked around, stood up and said.
"If you can hide from the first day of the first month, you can't avoid fifteen! We and the Jin Zhu family will fight sooner or later! It's better to take them by surprise and catch them off guard! Don't leak the news at this time, go down and prepare!"
"Yes!" the crowd took the order.
On that day, the Jin family put up lanterns and invited celebrities from all walks of life in Sunrise City, and Jin Yuanbiao held a grand banquet for his daughter Jin Ling to become an adult. The banquet hall of the City Lord's Mansion was full of top powerhouses from all walks of life in Sunrise City, and after greeting each other, they quietly discussed.
"Why don't you see the people of the Chen family?"
"Isn't this nonsense! The relationship between the Jin family and the Chen family is already on the same footing, how can there still be contacts!"
"I heard that Jin Yuanbiao sent an invitation letter to the Chen family!"
"Cut! What's the use of sending it! Everyone knows it's a trap! Do you think the Chen family is a fool? They will never come! The Golden City Lord openly sent out the invitation letter, just to chill the Chen family!"
"I see! I want to see a good show! I don't think I can see it!"
In the midst of the discussion, Jin Yuanbiao, Jin Ling, Zhu Difeng and others walked into the hall with spring on their faces, looked at everyone casually, and sat down one after another.
Everyone immediately got up and greeted, "Congratulations to the Golden City Lord's daughter!"
The Lord of Jin City laughed, motioned for everyone to sit down, and then stretched out his hand to a middle-aged man on the guest of honor next to him, and said, "Today's banquet for Jin Ling is fake, and welcoming Liu Hailong and Liu Gang Leader is the real purpose!"
After listening to Jin Yuanbiao's words, all the guests were stunned, daring to love that this banquet is not just a coming-of-age ceremony for Jin Ling!
"Liu Hailong, who is the leader of the Liu gang?"
Everyone looked at each other, thinking that the name was very familiar, but for a while they couldn't remember who it was!
"Could it be Liu Hailong, the deputy leader of the Shark Heaven Gang!"
The crowd suddenly remembered the exclamation of one person, and then everyone remembered.
Liu Hailong is the deputy leader of the most vicious pirate group in the waters of Sunrise City, the Shark Sky Gang, and is nicknamed Ghost Shark. There are countless mercenaries and warriors who robbed and killed Sunrise City and went to sea.
"Why did Jin Yuanbiao invite him? Didn't he know that Liu Hailong was the enemy of all the mercenaries and warriors in Sunrise City? Why did he do this?"
"It must be invited to deal with the Chen family! It is rumored that Liu Hailong is a five-star powerhouse in the Qi Martial Realm, and he is also a first-grade soul master, his strength is quite strong, and there is no opponent in the same realm!"
"There are also many people in the Jin family who died at the hands of ghost sharks! Has Jin Yuanbiao forgotten? This is obviously luring wolves into the house! Bastard!"
"Be quiet! Bad luck if you hear it!"
After figuring out Liu Hailong's origin, many people were dissatisfied, but no one dared to stand up and speak, because everyone knew that they were not Liu Hailong's opponent.
Jin Yuanbiao solemnly introduced Liu Hailong in front of everyone, but the latter didn't say anything, he hummed impatiently, picked up the wine glass as if no one was around, poured a glass, and ate the dishes.
Jin Yuanbiao's old face froze, very embarrassed, but he didn't dare to be angry, and said with a smile: "Gang Master Liu is really cool! Everyone should start drinking too!"
"Wait!"
When everyone was about to have a drink, there was a sudden sound of stopping outside the hall, and then three people walked in generously.
Everyone was stunned, and they all looked at the three of them, it didn't matter if they didn't look at it, they were taken aback when they saw it. The identity of the person who came was beyond all expectations, and the three of them were the head of the Chen family, the young master and the great elder.
The Chen family, who everyone concluded would not come, actually came, and there were only three people.
"How dare they come! Are they here to die?"
It's a pity that they never dreamed that Jin Yuanbiao invited Liu Hailong, the deputy gang leader of the Shark Sky Gang!"
"This trip is destined to be a tragedy!"
Seeing Chen Yuanshan and the others, Jin Yuanbiao was also stunned, although he sent out an invitation, he never thought that the Chen family would dare to really come to the appointment, and he couldn't help but regret in his heart that he didn't set up an ambush.
"Chen Yuanshan, you're here!" I1387
