"Miss, don't go with him."
"That's right, we're not afraid to die!"
“That’s right, Miss, we’re not worth your sacrifice…”
Chen Yumeng wiped away her tears, forced a smile, and said, "Uncles, it's alright. I miss my older brother too. I'll go and keep him company. Once Father returns, you should all leave here as soon as possible."
Chen Yumeng was speaking from the heart; sacrificing herself so that others could live was better than everyone dying together.
Moreover, if I were arrested, my older brother would have someone to keep him company.
"Let's not waste time, let's go!"
Looking at the family's seemingly life-or-death farewell scene, a hint of helplessness flashed in Chen Minghe's eyes.
He was too lazy to explain any further, so he simply stepped forward, took Chen Yumeng's hand, and transformed into a beam of light, disappearing into the horizon.
...
It was March, the beginning of spring, with a gentle breeze and all things coming back to life.
In a valley not far from Jingjiang City.
The spring water gurgles and gathers into a stream, flowing out from between the mountains and into a pool of water at the bottom of the valley.
A gentle breeze blows, and the spring water ripples softly, spreading towards the shore.
At this moment, a purple figure sat upright on a blue stone on the shore. He wore a bamboo hat and was surrounded by a thin mist, making it impossible to see his face.
He sat quietly on the boulder, motionless, like a statue.
But at that moment, purple lightning crackled in the void, then a rift opened, and a pitch-black figure emerged from it.
The dark figure exuded a terrifying aura, and its appearance immediately disrupted the tranquil and natural atmosphere of the valley.
"Haha, I knew you would come."
The dark figure let out a hoarse voice and sat down directly next to the woman in purple.
"Li Feng, what exactly do you mean by this?!"
The purple-clad figure spoke, appearing calm but unable to conceal a hint of panic.
The figure in black was none other than Li Feng, the leader of the Sky Wolf Mercenary Group.
"Chen Mingxuan, I've made my meaning very clear: it's in our best interest to work together to get rid of Chen Tianwen!"
Li Feng's voice held a playful tone.
Five days ago, the leader of the Hidden Wolf Gang sent Chen Mingxuan an invitation through special channels to join forces against Chen Tianwen.
They discussed meeting in this valley.
Originally, this was just an experiment to test Chen Mingxuan's reaction.
Unexpectedly, Chen Mingxuan actually came to keep the appointment.
This was somewhat unexpected by Li Feng.
"Chen Tianwen is the ancestor of my Chen family. What makes you think I would join forces with you to deal with him?"
Chen Mingxuan's voice was filled with curiosity.
He didn't understand how Li Feng could be so sure that he would agree to his request.
After all, the Chen family has been keeping the news of Chen Tianwen's visit strictly confidential these past few days.
In the eyes of outsiders, Chen Tianwen is still the ancestor of his Chen family.
How did Li Feng know that he wanted to get rid of Chen Tianwen?
“I wasn’t sure before, but now that you’re here, I can be sure.”
Li Feng said calmly.
He certainly couldn't tell Chen Mingxuan that he had infiltrated the Chen family like a sieve.
Seeing that Li Feng was unwilling to answer, Chen Mingxuan did not press the matter, but went straight to the point: "Chen Tianwen is very powerful, and I am far from being his match. What methods do you have to deal with him?"
However, upon hearing these words, a glint of light flashed in Li Feng's eyes.
"You fought him?"
A hint of unease flashed across Chen Mingxuan's face, then he nodded slightly: "A few days ago, Chen Tianwen came to my Chen family. He was arrogant and unreasonable, and his behavior was vulgar and domineering. Several elders and I had a conflict with him, which led to some unpleasantness."
Recalling the scene from that day, a hint of fear flashed deep in Chen Mingxuan's eyes.
Even just recalling the terrifying pressure unleashed by that primordial spirit made him feel suffocated.
But in order to save face.
Chen Mingxuan did not mention that he had not even been able to withstand Chen Tianwen's pressure.
"He didn't use a sword?"
Li Feng asked again.
Chen Mingxuan shook his head.
I thought to myself, isn't this obvious?
Chen Tianwen knelt down without making a move.
If he draws his sword, will Li Feng still be able to see him here?
"Haha, just as I thought!"
Chen Mingxuan's account further confirmed Li Feng's suspicions from that day.
The reason Chen Tianwen was able to kill his younger brother with a single sword strike was entirely due to that Heavenly Rank Immortal Sword.
Moreover, there are limitations to activating a Heavenly Immortal Sword; it cannot be used casually.
Otherwise, Chen Mingxuan definitely wouldn't be alive now!
And that terrifying sword light was gone.
Chen Tianwen's combat strength has greatly decreased, and he can't even defeat Chen Mingxuan, a weakling.
Li Feng and Chen Mingxuan have fought before.
He knew full well that this was all show and no substance, and that his combat ability was extremely poor. In front of him, he could only rely on the incomplete Heavenly Rank Boundless Bowl passed down from the Chen family to protect himself.
The fact that Chen Tianwen couldn't even defeat him is enough to show that he is currently in a period of weakness!
Are you really confident you can handle him?
Chen Mingxuan asked again.
Scenes from fifty years ago, when he fought against Li Feng, flashed through his mind.
At that time, the Li Feng Tianlang Mercenary Group was developing rapidly and had even extended its reach to the western border.
This area has been the territory of the Chen family since ancient times.
Chen Mingxuan naturally had to protect him.
So he arranged to meet with Li Feng to discuss the matter.
The two agreed to meet in this valley.
However, Li Feng had no intention of discussing it at all.
Upon arriving at the valley, without saying a word, they immediately attacked him.
A late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator fighting an early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
The result speaks for itself.
