Chapter 118 The Extermination of the Xue Family
When Qiu Qiandao spoke, Xue Cheng noticed that Qiu Qiandao, who usually accepted a lot of bribes from him, was actually standing next to Chen Shi.
And he's as obedient as a grandson.
Xue Cheng suddenly seemed to have aged countless years.
In an instant, his hair turned white.
The Xue family members scattered in fear and talked amongst themselves.
Chen Shi sneered. He would naturally not let these people go, otherwise how would he explain himself to Lu Qingyun?
With a swift movement, the knife falls; with a swift movement, the knife falls, the hand rises.
The Xue family could only wait for the executioner's blade to fall on their own necks.
"Why? Why is this happening?"
Grandpa Xue and Xue Cheng looked bewildered.
Both of them had blood in their eyes, and Old Master Xue collapsed to the ground in agony.
"My Xue family has never associated with the Demonic Sect!"
"Does it matter?"
A disdainful smirk appeared on Chen's lips.
Offending a powerful figure is a far more serious offense than colluding with the demonic sect.
When Old Master Xue saw that the second branch of the Xue family had been completely slaughtered and the butcher's knife was about to reach Xue Cheng and Xue Pan, he finally could no longer restrain himself.
Chen Shi really wants the lives of everyone in the Xue family.
"Cheng'er! Run! Escape the Xue family, escape Yunxia City!"
"You must avenge us!"
Old Master Xue's eyes were filled with hatred, and two lines of bloody tears gushed out.
The blade in his hand pierced through the encirclement of the demon-slaying guards like a blood arrow, heading straight for Chen Shi.
His cultivation level was at the eighth level of Qi Refining, which was similar to Chen Shi's.
He believed that as long as Chen Shi was held back, Xue Cheng would be able to escape.
However, before Xue Cheng could escape, a mocking expression appeared on Chen Shi's face.
A blinding golden sword light burst forth from his hand in an instant. He didn't even lift the sword, yet this single move filled Old Master Xue with dread.
A superior-grade talisman, the [Sword Light Talisman]!
"Why?! Why?! You actually used such a talisman to deal with a mere Qi Refining Level 8 cultivator like me?"
Grandpa Xue looked completely incredulous.
He would have died if the demon-slaying guards had surrounded him and given Xue Cheng a chance to live.
There's absolutely no need to use such an expensive talisman to take one's own life.
But he used it anyway.
Old Master Xue fell to the ground, his body covered in bloody wounds, and then fell silent.
"No, Father!"
Xue Cheng's face was contorted, and he screamed in agony.
"Why are you treating the Xue family like this? Who have we offended?"
Chen walked over, holding a chicken leg in his hand, his face full of enjoyment.
"Lord Chen, I am the Assistant Director of the Ministry of Works, not a member of the Xue family. In fact, we are from the same clan as you. Today's events have absolutely nothing to do with me. Our Chen family has always been of high moral character and would never collude with the Demonic Sect."
Chen Xietong, the head of the Chen family, stood to the side with a fawning smile on his face.
Many years ago, he met Chen Shi once and naturally recognized Chen Shi's identity.
Therefore, ever since Chen Shi entered the house, he kept his eyes down and his mind at ease, leading the Chen family members to retreat to the side, not daring to resist in the slightest.
Now that Chen Shi has come over, how can he not rush to flatter him and sever ties with the Xue family?
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Xietong quietly transmitted his voice.
"Lord Chen, I had the pleasure of meeting you once before and was deeply impressed by your brilliance. I have already prepared two hundred... no! three hundred spirit stones, as well as some spirit wine, to present to you upon our next meeting. I hope you will accept them!"
Chen Xietong stared longingly, rubbing his hands together with a shameless grin.
He was genuinely afraid of being implicated by the Xue family, since his daughter had just married into their family.
However, Chen Shi didn't even raise an eyebrow, his disdain unchanged.
He walked up to Xue Cheng, smiling, and said, "Do you know why I left you and your son until the end?"
The demon-slaying guards around them had already retreated on their own, leaving only Xue Cheng and his son, who were in shackles.
Xue Cheng trembled, numbly looking at the Xue family members who had died tragically around him, wanting to curse them out.
However, Chen's blade had already fallen with the sound of his voice.
"Let me give you a heads-up, Shen Taozhu."
Clang!
Xue Cheng's head fell to the ground, his face filled with disbelief.
Xue Pan, who was standing to the side in a panic, could no longer contain himself. His face turned pale and he collapsed to the ground.
