I wish I could put on a pair of wings, fly into the sky, and rush back to Xiaohu Town in an instant.
Eager and extremely impatient, Chen Zong finally entered Xiaohu Town.
Compared with a few years ago, Xiaohu Town seems to be quieter now, a little less lively, and a little more deserted.
Chen Zong didn't pay much attention to it, he passed by quickly, like a ghost, and soon he came to several wooden houses.
The wooden house is old, covered in dust, and looks like it has been abandoned for a long time. No one has lived in it for a long time.
This is my home, the place where I was born, where I grew up, and I have more than ten years of memories.
With trembling palms, he gently pushed open the door. The creaking sound was harsh, but it went straight to his heart, making Chen Zong's heart beat wildly and making it difficult to breathe.
The light in the room was dim, but it could not block Chen Zong's eyes. Every detail was displayed in his eyes. The furniture was still the familiar furniture, but it was a little scattered, as if it was caused by the rush when he left.
Chen Zong inspected it very carefully, not letting go of any clues.
There are no signs of battle.
No bloodstains.
Involuntarily, the restlessness in my heart eased a bit.
"Aunt...where have you been?" Muttered to himself, Chen Zong remembered that when he left, he had entrusted Master Huanyun to take care of his father, and he didn't know what the situation was.
We quickly left for the Chen family's old house, which was also deserted and overgrown with weeds.
"Now, we have no choice but to go to the mine." Chen Zong secretly said, unfolding his body skills again and heading towards the mine as quickly as possible.
His heart was full of hope. He was looking forward to seeing his father in the mine, but he was also worried about seeing his father suffer in the mine. This contradiction tortured Chen Zong and made him almost lose his former peace.
I was so anxious that I hurriedly arrived at the original Chen's Iron Mine.
"Stop, who are you? What are you doing here?"
He was immediately intercepted by a pair of warriors. They were a group of martial arts practitioners, eight in total, with unkind expressions.
"Are you the Bai family?" Chen Zong asked.
"Yes, we are the Bai family." One of the eight people responded with a sneer.
Chen Zong's answer to them was to take action.
The bodies flew past, so fast that they couldn't see anything, but the eight people only felt that the world was spinning. The strange thing was that it was clearly broad daylight, but why did they quickly fall into darkness and couldn't see anything anymore.
He had come to guard this iron mine before, and he still had clear memories in his mind. Soon, Chen Zong rushed to the iron mine camp and directly captured the manager of the camp, who was also a member of the Bai family.
He is a deacon with a cultivation level in the late stage of Jinjin Realm.
"Where is the Chen family?" Chen Zong's tone was low, like the undercurrent in the depths of the sea, containing astonishing anger and power.
"What Chen family?" Deacon Bai family was startled.
"The Chen family of Fengwucheng." Chen Zong's eyes shone with a terrifying light, implying a trace of murderous intent, which made the deacon of the Bai family tremble all over, as if shaking chaff through a sieve, unable to control it at all.
"The Chen family... the Chen family... they are all in the mine..." Deacon Bai's family felt that he was about to be overwhelmed by the terrible murderous intention, as if he would be swallowed up by huge waves at any time if he fell on the sea. He had no resistance and was extremely vulnerable.
Horrified, trembling, mind almost blank, instinctive answer.
"Please come out." The low voice was like a nightmare, reaching the ears of the Bai family deacon, and he could not resist.
"Yes...yes..." Deacon Bai's face was pale and he was sweating profusely. He did not dare to show any signs of neglect and quickly ordered his men to call out all the Chen family members who were mining in the mine.
The clothes were in rags, they were as skinny as firewood, and they looked very miserable, which made Chen Zong feel a little sad.
At a glance, there were more than forty people in total. The older ones were almost seventy years old, and the younger ones were in their early ten years. Most of them had Qi and Blood Realm cultivation, so that they could better mine.
, as for the training realm, there is none.
There must be hundreds of people in the Chen clan, and the three branch families must have hundreds together, at least more than 400 people. Now there are only about 40 people left, and the others are all dead.
An indescribable sadness emerged from the depths of Chen Zong's heart and could not be suppressed.
After all, I am also a member of the Chen family. I was born in the Chen family and grew up in the Chen family. The relationship is inseparable by blood.
They are all members of their own tribe.
More than forty Chen family members stood side by side, each looking at the Bai family members around them with fearful eyes, shrinking back as if they were afraid of being beaten.
Suddenly, Chen Zong saw a vaguely familiar face among these forty people.
"Is it Uncle Wu Xiong?" Chen Zong asked softly, staring at the vaguely familiar face.
Chen Wuxiong stared at Chen Zong's face with his still-usable right eye. He vaguely felt that this young face was familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before, but the memory seemed a little long ago.
"I am Chen Wuxiong, may I ask who you are?" Chen Wuxiong asked cautiously, fearing that if his voice was louder, he would disturb the other party and get beaten up.
"Uncle Wu Xiong, I am Chen Zong." Chen Zong's nose was sore, his eyes were red, and he almost shed tears. Back then, Chen Wuxiong was the head of the branch family in Xiaohu Town. He was so high-spirited, but now he looks like he has suffered a lot.
He looked trembling and tormented by suffering.
"Chen Zong..." Chen Wuxiong felt that this name was somewhat familiar, and it seemed to awaken long-standing memories.
A few years are actually very short, but being in a dark mine and being beaten from time to time is simply torture, making a few years seem as long as decades.
"Chen Zong...you are the son of Zhengtang..." Chen Wuxiong finally remembered, glared with his right eye, and couldn't help but exclaimed with surprise in his heart.
"That's me." Chen Zong nodded, forcing himself to hold back the sourness in his heart.
"You...you...you..." Chen Wuxiong trembled repeatedly and could not say anything.
Why did the Chen family end up like this?
It has nothing to do with Chen Zong.
Collaborating with the Black Demon Sect and offending the Bai family are all part of the reasons why the Chen family has fallen to this point.
Of course, Chen Wuxiong didn't know whether there was collusion with the Black Demon Sect, but he could investigate the matter of offending the Bai family.
The clansmen died. Except for a few who managed to escape by chance, all the others who were alive were captured and turned into mining slaves. They mined in dark mines all day long and were beaten severely from time to time.
There used to be more than 100 people mining, but now there are only about 40 people left.
Who is to blame?
Is it Chen Zong’s fault?
But at this moment, Chen Wuxiong couldn't think of blaming Chen Zong in his heart. He seemed to be in trouble and looked away.
This is a world where the weak eat the strong. If you don't have strength, you will be accused of various crimes and then be slaughtered by others.
"Uncle Wu Xiong, I have made you suffer." Chen Zong also knew very well that he was a trigger. If he had not had any conflict with the Bai family back then, then the current Chen family would not have become the target of the Bai family's revenge.
It has fallen to this point.
Do you blame yourself?
Won't.
Because the conflict with the Bai family back then was not what I wanted.
I just feel very sad and sad.
In the final analysis, it is strength.
If the Chen family were stronger than the Bai family, the Bai family wouldn't even dare to let out a fart.
strength!
It makes people chase, but also makes people hate.
strength!
Suddenly, Chen Zong's heart surged with overwhelming anger and murderous intent.
"Call the Bai family here." Chen Zong said, his tone was terrifyingly calm.
"You...what do you want to do..." the Bai family's deacon asked.
"I want to announce something." Chen Zong's tone remained calm.
The deacon of the Bai family spoke up and summoned all the Bai family members at the mine. At the same time, he secretly made a gesture, asking one or two Bai family members to take this opportunity to leave here and return to Fengwu City as quickly as possible to bring in reinforcements.
Chen Zong also discovered it, but did not stop it because it was good.
Soon, except for the two people who left secretly, the rest of the Bai family gathered here. Their fierce looks made the more than forty Chen family members tremble uncontrollably, like sheep surrounded by wolves.
"Everyone is here, what are your orders... please tell me." Deacon Bai's posture was very low, because he knew that he was not the opponent's opponent, so he adopted this low posture to confuse the other party, try to delay the time, and wait.
When the Bai family's reinforcements arrive, the situation will be reversed.
"You..." Chen Zong's gaze swept across in an instant, as if shooting out extremely terrifying cold electricity, tearing the sky apart, making every member of the Bai family unable to look at each other and had to close their eyes: "You all deserve to die.
!”
The last three words fell, like a judgment from hell.
But before the Bai family had time to react, two silver sword lights were so bright that they were indescribable.
Dozens of densely packed silver sword energy pierced the air, each one was so crystal clear and beautiful, but it contained terrifying murderous intent.
The silver sword energy seemed to be spiritual, passing by more than forty Chen family members, without damaging them at all, but killing all the Bai family members.
The highest level of cultivation is only the seventh level of Jinjin Realm. How can he resist Chen Zong's sword energy?
Before they even had time to react, each of the Bai family members was killed by the silver sword energy, and they were so dead that they could no longer die.
However, in the blink of an eye, Chen Wuxiong and others were shocked to see that those vicious Bai family warriors who had always abused them had now turned into corpses that were still warm and lying in a pool of blood.
As if in a dream, each of the Chen family members were in a daze and unable to react at all.
After a long time, a gust of wind blew by, making people feel excited all over.
"All... all... all dead..." Chen Wuxiong's voice was thick and he swallowed hard.
The strength of these Bai family warriors is not weak, especially the strength of the Bai family deacon, who is even more powerful. In his own eyes, he is a first-class strong person, and now he has been killed.
The key is that it was Chen Zong who killed him, and I couldn't see how he was killed. I could only see a silver light flashing in front of him, but he was dead in the blink of an eye.
"Uncle Wu Xiong, all elders and compatriots in the clan, please go to the room over there to rest for the time being." Chen Zong said, while at the same time, he found energy pills and other things from the deacons of the Bai family and distributed them to the more than forty Chen family members.
Let them take it to replenish their weak bodies.
Try to adjust your body as much as possible to make it easier for you to move later.
