<h4>Chapter 357 - Chen n in Trouble</h4>


    The chilling aura of the Zhao n members swept toward Watermoon City from a distance, chilling the air even before their arrival. The temperature inside the city plummeted as if midwinter had arrived.


    Everyone in Watermoon City sensed that terrifying cold killing intent almost instantly. Confused and terrified, they looked at the horizon.


    “Who are these people?”


    “Such frightening auras! Such horrifying murderous qi! It''s like they''re reapers from the depths of hell,e to im souls."


    “Did someone provoke such untouchable existences?”


    “......”


    The panic spread rapidly throughout the entire city.


    Zhao Hong and the others’ auras were too powerful, and their cold, murderous qi could seemingly freeze heaven and earth, scaring the people out of their wits.


    Amidst the chaos, a figure emerged from within Watermoon City, soaring with determination towards Zhao Hong''s group.


    <i>Swish!</i>


    “Patriarch!”


    This person was a middle-aged man at the third level of the Yuanfu realm, and he half-knelt before the group.


    “You may rise.” Zhao Hong said calmly, “Tell me what you’ve heard.”


    “Yes.”


    This middle-aged man quickly ryed the information he had gathered to Zhao Hong and hispanions.


    Zhao Hong''s expression remained steady, showing no signs of emotion. With a nod, he uttered, “Let’s go, wipe out the Chen n!”


    This middle-aged man immediately led Zhao Hong and the others to the Chen n, looking like they were out for murder.


    Rumors began to spread like wildfire among the inhabitants of Watermoon City.


    “Something huge is about to go down!”


    “Heavens, they’re here for the Chen n.”


    “The Chen n is done for. Those must be experts from the imperial city''s Zhao n."


    “......”


    The people of Watermoon City overheard the conversation between the middle-aged man and Zhao Hong. Realizing they were here to wipe out the Chen n, they were horrified.


    They had pretty much guessed the identities of this group of people: the imperial city’s Zhao n.


    After all, half a year ago, Chen Fan had killed a great figure from the imperial city in front of a crowd at the City sh Convention. The crowd had known that the matter wouldn’t end just like that. As expected, the Zhao n’s experts came half a yearter.


    This time, the Chen n would truly be annihted.


    The onlookers quivered with fear as Zhao Hong and hispanions soared through the skies above Watermoon City, emitting a terrifying aura.


    Just mentioning “the imperial city’s Zhao n” made it clear that these were individuals not to be trifled with.


    ......


    “Chen n,e out and ept your deaths!” A cold voice resounded like thunder, rolling through space and reaching the Chen n.


    Chen Zhengqing, Chen Tianxiong, and the others heard the ultimatum filled with killing intent in the main hall, and everyone’s expressions sank.


    "This is bad. We''re under attack by experts!"


    The entire Chen n shook violently, followed by agonizing screams that filled the air.


    <i>Rumble!</i>


    Zhao Hong ttened the entrance to the Chen n mansion with a single palm strike. The attack turned the guards stationed at the front courtyard into meat paste.


    “Enemy attack! Enemy attack!”


    The Chen n mobilized swiftly, rallying to defend their home.


    Chen Zhengqing and the others walked out and looked at Zhao Hong’s group. Their pupils shrank violently, but they shouted coldly, “Who are you people?”


    “Who are we?” Zhao Hong and the others smiled coldly and said, “We’re the people who will wipe out your Chen n!”


    “Kill!”


    “Wipe out their n! Wipe out their n!”


    The Zhao n members at the back roared furiously, their murderous qi soaring to the skies.


    The Chen n members'' expressions turned pale, some trembling uncontrobly at the sheer terror of the situation.


    Under the oppression of Zhao Hong and the others’ auras, even Chen Qingqing and the others who had broken through to the first level of the Yuanfu realm felt suffocated.


    “I''m certain you recall the events of half a year ago. By daring to y members of our Zhao n, you invited this doom upon yourselves. Know this: none of you from the Chen n will escape today! Every one of you has to die!” Zhao Hong’s voice rumbled like thunder, rattling the tiles on the roof of the Chen n''s residence.


    Immediately, the sounds of weapons falling to the ground rang out.


    <i>ng! ng! ng!</i>


    Some of the Chen n’s private troops immediately knelt and kowtowed, begging for mercy. “Sirs, we’re innocent. We''re merely employed by the Chen n; we hold no allegiance to them. Please, sirs, spare our lives...”


    Arge swathe of private troops had abandoned their weapons and were kowtowing on the ground, begging for mercy. Chen Yunchong, Chen Hualong, and the others were furious.


    “You scoundrels...”


    To put it into their perspective, the Chen n had spent a lot of resources to nurture these private troops. Yet, at the first sign of trouble, they betrayed their loyalty and knelt, begging for their lives.


    However, Chen Zhengqing and Chen Tianxiong remained unfazed.


    These private troops were not native to Xuanyang City; they had been recruited after the Chen n settled in Watermoon City. Their loyalty to the n was tenuous at best, given that they hadn''t been a part of it for long.


    These men weren’t like Wang Tieshan or the others from Xuanyang City, whom the n had cultivated for over a decade, if not longer. Their loyalty to the n was unquestionable. Even if the Chen n faced a disaster, they would never abandon the n. [1]


    “Very well, since you’re only the Chen n’s private troops, I’ll give you a chance. Now, kill the Chen n members. A life for a life,” Zhao Hong said with a cold smile.


    Ruthless looks appeared in the eyes of the private troops. They unleashed their cultivation andunched ferocious attacks at the Chen n members without hesitation.


    Under the relentless pressure of Zhao Hong and hispanions, they had no faith in the Chen n''s survival.


    As for Chen Fan, they all knew he had gone to the imperial city. However, the Zhao n experts had already made their way here. Chen Fan''s fate seemed obvious without needing further exnation.


    “Damn it, you traitors! You deserve to die!”


    Chen Yunchong, Chen Hualong, and the others were furious. Their cultivations erupted, and they immediately started killing these traitorous private troops.


    “You guys attack as well. Don’t spare anyone from the Chen n. Leave not even their pets alive!” ordered Zhao Hong. The Zhao n members behind him quickly charged toward the Chen n.


    “Kill!”


    “Leave no one alive!”


    “A small n from a mere Grade-2 city dares to spill the blood of our Zhao n''s kin. For your sins, you shall pay dearly! Today, everyst one of you will meet your end!”


    “Cover the entire Chen n in blood!”


    “......”


    The group from the Zhao n wasn’t weak. Just their Yuanfu realm experts alone numbered more than ten. Their battle cries shook heaven, and their auras connected as one, shocking heaven and earth and stirring the skies. With their unleashed cultivations, the world trembled in response.


    Soon, cries of agony echoed throughout the area.


    <i>Woo, woo. Woo, woo, woo...</i>


    A suffocating pressure descended upon the Chen n, causing their structures to crumble under its weight.


    1. Wang Tieshan used to be Chen Fan’s bodyguard when he was young. He died in one of the n battles. ?
