Chapter Fourteen: An Unexpected Encounter
"If you lose, from now on, no one in the Xiao family will be able to leave the Imperial City alive!"
The voice came out, Xiao's face suddenly turned cold, and anyone who heard this remark was shocked.
No one would deny the supreme status that the Chen family has in the Great Hua Dynasty. The lesson that Xiao Mo said is just a contradiction between some small characters, and in the world of martial arts, what Xiao Mo said is not wrong. Anyone who doesn't have their own skills can't rely on others.
Kids' squabbles are no big deal as long as they don't get too out of hand.
Xiao didn't think that way, and he did it anyway. He didn't think that his actions would bring catastrophic consequences to his family. The Chen family was indeed powerful and unbeatable, but even in the Great Hua Empire, they couldn't cover the entire sky with one hand.
Unexpectedly... Over the years, after Master Sheng passed away and Old Man Chen retired, the Chen family has been extremely low-key in their actions. They have also avoided confrontations whenever possible, and when they couldn't avoid them, they would use the Chen family's prestige to deter others from being too excessive.
But today, Chen Ye actually said such words, what does he want to do?
"Early night..."
A hint of bitterness flashed across Xiao Mo's face, but he was still confident. In three months' time, no matter how hard Chen Ye cultivated, he wouldn't be his match. What Xiao Mo didn't know was that Chen Ye could now resume cultivating Xuan Qi.
Chen Ye's words have already made his attitude clear to everyone. As a young man who cannot cultivate, Chen Ye may not be taken seriously in the Chen family. However, once these words are spoken, regardless of how things develop, they signify that the Chen family will take responsibility for Chen Ye's statement.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be people from the Chen family hitting their own faces?
Looking at Chen Ye, Xiao Mo was filled with doubts. Could it be that from now on, the Chen family would no longer endure in silence as they had before?
It's actually a good thing, because the Chen family has been tolerant and the imperial family has no reason to publicly make things difficult for the Chen family. If they force the Chen family to show their power, it will indeed give the imperial family the best excuse.
But even if the imperial family ultimately destroys the Chen family, in this process, the first to bear the brunt will definitely be their own Xiao family!
Xiao Mo Ke did not think that the Xiao family could rely on having too much support behind them, and be able to safely withstand the wrath of the Chen family. In this Great Imperial Dynasty, even the current Emperor himself does not dare to have such great confidence.
At the thought of this, the bitter taste at the corner of Xiao's mouth became even stronger. He had chosen to make an enemy of the Chen family in order to gain the greatest benefit for the Xiao family from it, but he absolutely did not want the Xiao family to face the impact of the Chen family head-on in this process.
Everyone who heard this was shocked and stared at Chen Ye, a young man four years ago, how proud and ambitious he was. Now, his former self has reappeared, and no one would think that Chen Ye had recovered his original cultivation talent, but rather that the Chen family's elders were directing him from behind.
"Is the sky of the Imperial City really going to change?"
No one would suspect that once Old Master Chen unleashes his mighty roar, the collision between him and the imperial family will be earth-shattering and soul-stirring!
He gazed silently into the distance, his eyes cold and unyielding. Tonight's actions were not a sudden impulse, but rather a deliberate move after being reborn, especially now that he had entered the Dragon Body and could once again tread the path of the Mystic Qi. It was only natural for him to do so.
Changing the fate of a family is not something that can be accomplished in one or two days, nor is it something that can be achieved with just a few years of effort. Because Chen Ye has less than six years left, and within these six years, Chen Ye himself also does not have the confidence to bring his cultivation to the point where he can surpass all the powerful experts in the imperial court.
So, at present, a person's attitude is crucial - Zhen Guo Wang, Chen Zhong!
Chen Ye knew that as long as the old man faced the imperial family's relentless pressure, it was no longer a manifestation of endurance. Then, the ending of the Chen family would definitely not be as tragic as Chen Ye remembered.
Perhaps it is still impossible to make the Chen family invincible in front of the powerful national machine of the imperial court, but in terms of time, it can certainly be delayed for a long time.
With confidence in his heart, what he can't achieve in six years, give him ten years and he will definitely be able to do it!
Therefore, Chen Ye had to use his own actions to change the old man's mind as much as possible. The more arrogant and reckless Chen Ye was, the more he would be suppressed by even more enemies.
Under immense pressure, Chen Ye had never thought that he would be able to hold on, but after forcing Lao Yeye to face the enemy's fierce attack, he finally couldn't bear it and took action.
Once the old man makes his move, things will be much easier afterwards.
As for the Xiao family... Since Xiao Mo chose to oppose the Chen family, he should go and take on the counterattack from the Chen family. The Chen brothers are not kind-hearted people who will show mercy, they will do whatever it takes for their own family!
One Xiao family is not enough to make a way, but it can be borrowed from the mouth of the Xiao family to tell all enemies, including the one in the deepest part of the imperial palace, that the Chen family will never sit and wait for death. Anyone who wants to deal with the Chen family must first weigh whether they can withstand the wrath of the Chen family!
"Tonight, I don't know if it's you who has changed or the Chen family that has changed?" Xiao's mouth corner rose slightly, although still carrying a bitter taste, but his tone was still as firm as before.
Xiao Mo was originally a clever person, and had already become an enemy of the Chen family. It was impossible for them to make amends one day. Otherwise, it wasn't that the Chen family couldn't tolerate the Xiao family, but even the people behind the Xiao family wouldn't be able to tolerate a traitor!
So, Xiao Mei's heart indeed became heavier, but she was even more determined to be an enemy of the Chen family!
A cold smile spread across Chen Ye's face as he said indifferently, "You can refuse, but if you do, the Xiao family will immediately suffer a bloody revenge from my Chen family."
"If you don't believe what I'm saying, just try it out! On the other hand, there are still three months left, so cultivate well!"
After finishing speaking, Chen Ye turned around and left with big strides!
Watching Chen Ye's calm and composed back as he walked away, Xiao Mo felt the sword in his hand tremble, sensing the killing intent in his master's heart. Suddenly, the long sword in its scabbard began to quiver incessantly, emitting a sharp and fierce sword aura that spread out like a wild wind.
He really wanted to kill Chen Ye tonight, but he didn't dare!
"Good night!"
Xiao took a deep breath, his eyes gradually turning icy: "Alright, three months later, at the East Suburban Hunting Festival, I'll be waiting for you. At that time, in front of all the nobles in the Imperial City, I will make sure that Chen Ye and the Chen family bear an indelible shame for the rest of their lives."
Chen Ye's words on behalf of the Chen family are clear: they want to wipe out the Xiao family, and Xiao Mo no longer needs to consider the Chen family's lofty status and position.
The more thorough the deed, the deeper the offense to the Chen family, but at the same time, the degree of protection gained is also greater. This is the only way out for Xiao Jia and Xiao Mo!
As he walked along the long street, Chen Ye's footsteps suddenly stopped, and he turned to look at a sedan chair in the quiet crowd on his right side.
A very luxurious sedan, an eight-man sedan, obviously showed that the owner of the sedan was extraordinary, but since he was born in the imperial palace at dawn, it was also a scene inside the imperial palace, and it did not evoke his sentiment.
The main reason why Chen Ye was so shocked and looked forward to it was that the eight middle-aged sedan chair bearers were actually all high-ranking masters in the initial stage of Xuanming!
The path of the mysterious energy is too difficult to walk, don't look at the initial stage of the mysterious boundary, it's just entering the mysterious boundary, but it's already extremely difficult to start with, even if placed in the Town National Wang Fu, it's also a distinguished guest.
The owner of that sedan chair actually made eight such masters become sedan bearers...
Just as Chen Ye was sizing up the sedan chair, suddenly, a gaze seemed to shoot out from within it.
Chen Ye's eyes met in a gaze, two pairs of somewhat unreal eyes, yet they fit together so naturally and casually. For an instant, Chen Ye's body trembled slightly.
The other person's gaze was clear, deep, and directly pierced the heart. In that instant, Chen Ye felt as if he had been stripped naked, with no secrets to hide under that gaze, not even those in his own heart, which seemed to have been seen through by the owner of the gaze.
In mid-air, Chen Ye's gaze had a sharp sword-like intent flashing within... He felt an extreme sense of danger!
