"Hey, have you heard that there is a clue to the case where a small family was wiped out overnight outside the city a few years ago?"
"I've heard about this case. A family of sixteen were all killed. Didn't they say it was done by casual cultivators who were passing by? Someone was arrested?"
"Bullshit, it was done by casual cultivators. It's just slandering the reputation of our casual cultivators. Let me tell you, it was done by the Chen family. The eldest son of the Chen family, Chen Baolong, did it. It is said that it was because that small family had a beautiful daughter.
, Chen Baolong wanted to take her as a concubine, but she didn’t want to, so she killed her whole family.”
"Really or not, how is that beautiful female nun?"
"He must have been taken away. There is another story in this. You don't know. Chen Baolong's ancestor is the Lingguang ancestor of the Chen family. His father and grandfather are the same thing. It is said that they have a common hobby.
That’s playing with the same woman...”
"Hey, have you heard about it? Why have there been fewer and fewer female cultivators in White Jade City in recent years? The root cause has been found out. It's the Chen family. The Chen family likes to deceive the female cultivators in the casual cultivators and pretend to marry them.
, she actually acts as a domestic prostitute, spending time with her son during the day, me in the middle of the night, and my ancestors in the evening."
"No, I heard that the Chen family likes to play together, tsk tsk..."
"The Chen family is really not human. Last year, one of my brothers finally hunted a third-level monster outside. It was originally worth fifty thousand Xuanjing. He went to the Chen family's shop to sell it. Do you know how much they asked for it?
, five thousand mysterious crystals"
"Let me go, this Chen family is too cruel. Who is willing to sell this? They didn't sell it in the end."
"Sell it, it's impossible not to sell it. My brother refused to sell it at first, but the steward of the Chen family led the Baiyu City law enforcement team into the inn where he lived that day, saying that he practiced evil and was an evil monk.
, If you don't sell it, you will kill him. Really, I was there at the time, and my brother was beaten half to death..."
"When you mention it, I also have an impression. More than ten years ago, I once set up a stall in the square and met a father and son, monks from a declining family. They were selling a third-level magic weapon passed down from their ancestors.
, the market price was at least 5,000 Xuanjing. Later, a core disciple of the Chen family took a fancy to it. He was stunned and said that it was a magic weapon of the Chen family. It was stolen by a disciple of the Chen family. Not only did he not give the money, but he also took it away.
People killed”
"Shut up, everyone"
In a teahouse, a young man stood up with a pale face and slapped the table, glaring at a group of casual cultivators who were talking loudly.
"Who are you and why do you ask me to shut up?"
"I am a member of the Chen family. You slander our Chen family so much. Aren't you afraid of our Chen family's revenge?"
"Hmph, you Chen family dare to do it and are you afraid of being criticized?"
"That's right, your Chen family's Chen Baolong has eighteen concubines. They are either casual cultivators or disciples of small families. Why don't you have a clear idea of why they came here?"
"That is, apart from being a direct descendant of the Chen family, what else does Chen Baolong have that those female cultivators value? He has middle-grade spiritual root qualifications and only opened the sixth level of meridians in his thirties. If it is not coercion or inducement, how can those female cultivators marry?
Give it to him"
"You're talking nonsense"
"Why am I talking nonsense? Your Chen family shop is famous among casual cultivators for being black-hearted. Everyone can testify to this."
"That's right, I heard that the backyard of your Chen family is very messy. The maids and maids are playing around casually, and there are piles of illegitimate children."
"You bastard, if you dare to slander our Chen family like this, I will fight you."
"Fuck you, you dare to take action. Brothers, go ahead and beat this shameless Chen family to death."
··········
In the Spirit Sword Gate and the mountain gate, a sudden violent wave of profound energy alarmed everyone. All the disciples looked up at the two people who were fighting fiercely in the sky.
"Junior brother Lin, you are crazy, why did you attack me?"
"Chen Zhiyuan, tell me, how did my brother die thirty years ago?"
"How your brother died is none of my business."
"Chen Zhiyuan, you still dare to quibble. Thirty years ago, my brother competed with you as a core disciple. He went out for training and was robbed and killed. He died in an unknown manner. You still dare to say that it was not your Chen family's fault."
"That's nonsense, you surnamed Lin, how dare you frame me?"
"Hmph, then please explain how my brother died and why he was suddenly robbed and killed while he was fine."
"I said, I don't know"
"You have a guilty conscience, Chen Zhiyuan, I want to avenge my brother."
The two people's voices were so loud that when the disciples on the ground heard it, they immediately began to talk about it. Until an extremely powerful spiritual pressure appeared and restrained the two people, and then a spiritual light swept them away.
"Spirit Sword Sect has more than 300 important positions from elders to managers, inner and outer sects, and the five major families occupy more than 200. Is the current Spirit Sword Sect still the previous Spirit Sword Sect? It will be renamed the Five Major Families Sect in the future.
never mind"
"There are one hundred and two core disciples of the inner sect, and the five major families also occupy forty positions. In a few hundred years, the Spirit Sword Sect will change."
"The five major families are just a bunch of ruthless guys. With the support of the family, one person becomes a manager. In less than twenty years, that department will be all members of the five major families. How can we commoner disciples get ahead?"
"What's even more terrifying is that the white-eyed wolves of the Chen family, in order to let their clan members rise to power, will use all means to attack geniuses like us who were born in common people. Do you still remember Xiao Yi in the 60s?
A genius disciple of the body, he died under mysterious circumstances when he was training at the fifth level of the Zi Mansion. I heard someone said that it was at the hands of the Chen family.
Because with Xiao Yi's qualifications, he will definitely be a high-ranking member of the Spirit Sword Sect in the future, and Xiao Yi rejected the Chen family's marriage before he experienced it, so they hold a grudge. Unfortunately, Xiao Yi has no backing, and casual investigations after his death will lead to nothing."
"Hmph, have you forgotten who was originally investigated by the Law Enforcement Hall? What is the relationship between that person and the Chen family? How could it be possible to investigate?"
"Don't tell me I've forgotten. That's Uncle Zhao. He's the son-in-law of the Chen family."
·········
"Bang"
At the Chen Family Mountain Gate, the ancestor of the Chen Family was livid and smashed everything he could in front of the senior officials of the Chen Family.
"Tell me, what is going on and why in just a few days, the entire White Jade City has been discussing our Chen family.
The Chen family's shop bullies casual cultivators, the Chen family bullies men and women, the Chen family's backyard is full of promiscuity and chaos, what other evil things are there in the world that my Chen family has not done?"
The ancestor of the Chen family kept roaring, and the public opinion in Baiyu City erupted for three days before he received the news. It was not a big deal for the casual cultivators to talk about it, and he didn't think that the casual cultivators could cause any trouble.
But the news coming from the Lingjian Sect made him extremely frightened. There were rumors everywhere in the Lingjian Sect that the Chen family intercepted and killed the talented disciples of the Lingjian Sect in order to pave the way for their clansmen. Now the Chen family in the Lingjian Sect can hardly move forward.
, those disciples who were born as mortals have distanced themselves from the Chen family, and some have even begun to re-investigate the cases.
Several disciples from the Chen family who had gotten into the upper echelons of Lingjian Sect have received summons from the sect and have been suspended. They have to go back to the sect to explain the problem clearly.
What frightened him was that some of the rumors circulating were really not rumors. The Chen family had really done it. In fact, it was not just the Chen family, but also other families who had done this. They were sent to the Spirit Sword Sect.
In terms of talent and diligence, disciples may not necessarily be as good as those monks who were born as mortals. The biggest support is the family behind them.
In order for their clansmen to occupy high positions in the Spirit Sword Sect, these families provide a lot of support. In addition to providing them with resources, they will also help them deal with some competitors. Generally speaking, they first lure them into the family camp, but they can
There is always no shortage of people who are stupid or straightforward by nature. For these people, the Chen family really did something dirty after investigating and finding out that they had no backers.
The five major families have done this kind of thing, and it is considered a default thing. Even if someone from the Spirit Sword Sect will investigate later, the other families will help cover it up and suppress the matter.
A group of senior members of the Chen family looked at each other. They had never encountered this kind of public opinion war. They knew that most of the rumors were false and that it was those people who imposed everything on the Chen family, but they did not know how to refute it.
.
If you are being reasonable, will those casual cultivators listen? If you are not being reasonable, will the Chen family dare to suppress them? The mood of the casual cultivators now is like a volcano about to erupt. If they suppress it again, it will really explode.
"Chen Sihui, you are the patriarch, you say"
"Old Ancestor, those words outside are all rumors. Our Chen family has never done anything. Those who are clean will themselves clean up."
"Shut up. Those who are clean will be cleansed themselves. Those casual cultivators are all pointing their fingers at me now. The business of the family's shop has plummeted. Do you know how many mysterious crystals are lost in a day?"
"Old Ancestor, why not do this, catch a few examples, impose severe punishments, and shut up the casual cultivators."
"Youyou are all talking, can it be blocked? Can it be blocked like this?"
The veins on the Chen family's ancestor's face were jumping. He really wanted to beat these people to death. Is this how a group of high-level officials would deal with them?
"Ancestor, our Chen family has never encountered this kind of thing, and we really don't know how to deal with it."
"Check, check for me, I don't believe there is no one controlling and instigating here, find out the masterminds behind the scenes, I want them to die without a burial place."
"Yes, ancestor"
"What are you still doing? Why don't you get out of here and find a way to put these rumors to rest?"
The ancestor of the Chen family shouted loudly, and a group of people ran away in despair, not daring to stay for a moment.
Not long after everyone left, a transmission note flew in. When the ancestor of the Chen family opened it, his face turned pale, because it was coming from the Spirit Sword Sect. The senior leaders of the Spirit Sword Sect asked him to go to the mountain gate of the Ling Sword Sect.
Explain some things clearly. This matter concerns the more than seventy disciples of the Chen family in Lingjian Sect.
The ancestor of the Chen family did not dare to refuse, but he also did not dare to go easily. He was about to send out transmission notes to the other four families, but he received many transmission notes one after another, all from the ancestors of other families, and they also accepted them.
When they arrived at the Lingjian Gate, they were notified that they should go to the Lingjian Gate Mountain Gate to explain the situation.
The ancestors of the four families cursed the ancestors of the Chen family one after another, feeling that the Chen family was dragging down the other families, and asked the ancestors of the Chen family to come up with a solution, otherwise they would not be blamed for not cherishing their old friendship.
Seeing these words, the ancestor of the Chen family suddenly felt chills all over his body. He felt that someone secretly had put a rope around the neck of the Chen family. Maybe the next moment, the Chen family could be completely strangled.
