A man grinned lewdly, winked, unzipped his pants, and prepared to urinate in front of the artificial rockery.
Chen Tianwen walked past silently, and the artificial rock fell, smashing straight at the man's groin.
"ah!--"
Chen Tianwen arrived at the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall.
This is the most luxurious venue in Xiaoluofang, with additional staff. Entry requires an extra hundred taels of silver. Chen Tian threw down a hundred taels of silver, and the thugs ignored him.
Chen Tianwen went straight to the innermost part, and then made several turns until he arrived in front of a painting.
Pretending to admire the painting, he actually activated a mechanism beneath it and then disappeared inside.
The avid gamblers didn't notice that someone had disappeared.
Upon entering the secret chamber, Chen Tianwen's eyes immediately turned red. Inside, there were many precious medicinal herbs for cultivation, as well as some low-grade pills and a stack of silver notes.
At the top of the banknote was a letter that read, "To my son."
Chen Tianwen opened the letter with trembling hands, closed his eyes briefly before daring to read its contents.
"Tianwen, by the time you see this letter, the Chen family should no longer exist in the desolate city..."
"...Remember, do not seek revenge. The Divine Sword Sect is not one we can afford to offend! Father: Chen Hao."
Only then did Chen Tianwen learn what the Chen family had gone through back then.
After Chen Tianwen was taken away, the Chen family was bullied, but they were still able to survive. Chen Hao even had the resources to send people to the Divine Sword Sect to redeem him.
However, after several members of the Chen family were detained by the Divine Sword Sect, the strength that the Chen family had accumulated over the years was greatly damaged. At this time, news came that Xu Xinrou had established her foundation in the Divine Sword Sect.
The Xu family was immediately in an uproar. They felt that Xu Xinrou was so powerful in the Divine Sword Sect, and their Xu family could not let her down.
So they began to target the Chen family even more fiercely. Whenever the Xu family members saw members of the Chen family, they would either humiliate or beat them.
Some people were even "accidentally" killed on the spot!
The Xu family was at the height of its power, so the city lord naturally didn't care.
As the head of the Chen family, Chen Hao went to the Xu family to demand an explanation.
After all, the marriage alliance between the two families was initiated by Chen Hao, who saved the Xu family patriarch. The Xu family proposed the marriage alliance to repay the patriarch.
After Chen Hao went to the Xu family, he adopted a very humble attitude. He did not ask the Xu family for compensation, but only asked the Xu family patriarch to stop targeting the Chen family out of consideration for the life-saving grace.
The old master of the Xu family immediately turned hostile, saying that he was the one who saved him back then, otherwise why would he have given him the opportunity to marry into the Xu family? He was really twisting the truth!
Then, several elders of the Xu family were dispatched to severely injure Chen Hao and cripple his cultivation!
The Chen family's eldest elder was furious and wanted to go to their door, but was stopped by the dying Chen Hao. The Chen family held back once again, and the Xu family then took advantage of this.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was home at the Chen family's residence, they brazenly seized the Chen family's cloth shop and bookstore, and finally, one night, they set fire to the Chen family's medicine shop.
The Chen Family Medicine Shop is the most important source of livelihood for the hundreds of members of the Chen family!
The Chen family, consisting of several hundred people, had no rice to cook!
This was the last straw that broke the camel's back.
The Chen family is now in dire straits.
