Chen Kun Leaves Home! Qin Wang's Opportunity! Please Vote

"Damn it!"

"Who exactly was this person? How dare they ambush the Chen Family!"

Chen Kun stood in a concealed spot a hundred zhang from the Su Family, watching their residence. He was wary of the Yellow Sparrow lurking in the shadows, and also of that poison capable of making inner force stagnate. He feared being poisoned again.

From afar, he saw his second brother Chen Xiao, his cousin Chen Yun, and his clan uncles Chen Baisen and Chen Bailin all lying where they had fallen, utterly motionless. Yet he saw no one from the Su Family.

"The Su Family is gone, but Second Brother and the others are still lying there. Could it be...?"

Chen Kun's heart sank with a thud.

Afternoon, at one o'clock.

"The Su Family caught fire last night?"

"Not a word has come out of the Chen Family?"

As usual, Qin Wang sat at Feng Laizi Noodle Shop. He had ordered pork liver rice noodles and three-delicacy rice noodles, eating as he listened to the nearby diners discuss what had happened in the county city.

Among the news was that a great fire had broken out at the Su Family at five in the morning, burning the Su Family residence clean to the ground and killing quite a few members of the Su Family.

Just as Qin Wang slurped down his noodles.

The Chen Family.

The grim-faced Chen Kun stood in the family's main hall. Beside him stood two elderly men and a middle-aged man. Before them lay four wooden boards, each bearing a corpse covered with a white cloth.

"If I find out who poisoned them, I'll tear him into ten thousand pieces! Skin him and pull out his tendons!"

Chen Kun stared at the four dead Second-Rate Masters like an enraged venomous serpent, waiting only to choose someone to devour!

He had returned at dawn and waited outside the Su Family for a long while. Only then had he covered his nose with a wet cloth and approached the Su Family residence, where he found that his second brother Chen Xiao and the other three had already gone stiff.

He had gone looking for the Su Family, only to find that they had vanished without a trace. In his fury, he had set fire to the Su Family residence and reduced it to ashes.

"Family Head, we have just received word that the Su Family members have boarded boats in batches and headed downriver toward Qingyun County."

At that moment, a young man hurried in and respectfully cupped his fists.

"They want to run?"

"It won't be that easy!"

Chen Kun's expression darkened. Looking at the only three remaining clansmen at the Second-Rate level, he said, "You stay behind and guard the family. I'll bring back Su Dingfeng's head to offer to my two uncles and my brother!"

After suffering such a heavy loss last night and failing to find the Yellow Sparrow, he would hunt down the Su Family instead, seize the Su Family's Startling Swan Flying Dagger manual, and take the share of benefits that had originally belonged to the Su Family.

Otherwise.

His second brother and the others would have died for nothing.

"Family Head, the family has us! Rest assured!"

"Take care on the road."

Chen Baishu nodded solemnly.

Chen Kun nodded and strode away.

On the Black River.

A large ship flying the banner of the Snow Lotus Merchant Guild traveled downstream toward Qingyun County.

On the ship, a lean, medium-built middle-aged man looked at the Black River's surface, nearly a hundred li wide in the distance, his expression gloomy.

"Family Head, what should we do next?"

At that moment, an elderly man stepped forward, his face full of worry.

"We're going to Liangzhou. Chen Kun has already advanced into the First-Rate Realm, and his third son, Chen Yi, has entered an immortal sect. We are no match for them in a direct clash. If we remain in Yan Yun County, the Su Family will have no way to survive."

Su Dingfeng let out a long sigh.

"If intelligence could reveal Venerable Qingyao's immortal cultivation technique the way it revealed the recipes for Blood Strengthening Soup and Beisu San Gong Xiang, how wonderful would that be!"

Qin Wang sat in the courtyard he rented, reading through the Pill Comprehension Primer.

If it could be revealed, that would truly be wonderful.

While reading the Pill Comprehension Primer, he did not idle away his time. He cultivated the Minor Scarlet Sun Cultivation, Flying Eagle Movement Technique, Moon Reflection Saber Technique, and Ancestor's Long Fist, cycling through them without pause.

Time passed.

In the early hours of the morning.

Today's Intelligence

1: Yesterday, you ambushed Chen Kun, the Chen Family Head, and obtained intelligence: Old Madam Chen learned that her second son Chen Xiao had also died and fainted from crying once more.

2: Yesterday, you used Beisu San Gong Xiang to assist in killing four Second-Rate Masters of the Chen Family, and obtained intelligence: the Chen Family still has three mid-stage Second-Rate masters—Chen Baishu, Chen Baiwen, and Chen Zhong.

3: Yesterday, you watched tigers fight from the mountain and obtained intelligence: Su Dingfeng, the Su Family Head, fears that Chen Kun has advanced to First-Rate and feels he cannot afford to provoke him. He has already taken his clansmen to Liangzhou.

4: Yesterday, you finished off members of the Chen Family and obtained intelligence: because the Chen Family lost four Second-Rate Masters, Chen Kun could not account for it. He has already set off to hunt down Su Dingfeng, using Su Dingfeng's head to honor the dead and give the family an explanation. He will return to Yan Yun County in 6 days.

5: Yesterday, you cultivated the Moon Reflection Saber Technique and obtained intelligence: Zheng Kecheng's son, Zheng Lingyun, will soon lead troops to Yan Yun County to investigate the cause of his father's death.

5: Yesterday, you cultivated the Moon Reflection Saber Technique and obtained intelligence: the creator of the Moon Reflection Saber Technique, Qiu Wanzhong, is now an elder of the immortal cultivation sect, the Overlord Saber Sect.

7: Yesterday, you read the Pill Comprehension Primer and obtained intelligence: Venerable Qingyao was born a concubine's son of the immortal cultivation Chen Family. In his youth, he suffered unfair treatment and, in a fit of rage, shouted, 'Thirty years east of the river, forty years west of the river,' before leaving the Chen Family, hoping to return in glory one day. Yet in the end, he failed.

9: You examined the Jingshan Black Market token and obtained intelligence: when the black market opens next time, a palm-sized Mysterious Fragment will appear. This item will be of immense help to you in the future.

10: You paid attention to the situation in Yan Yun County and obtained intelligence: Qi Shun, leader of the rebel army, has received word that the Thief 'Sky-Piercing Kite,' suspected of stealing the Scarlet Sun Divine Art, is hiding in Yan Yun County. Qi Shun has sealed off Yan Yun County City and is conducting a house-to-house search.

"The intelligence refreshed?"

Qin Wang looked at the prompt on the panel, and his eyes lit up.

"This old demoness is actually still alive."

Qin Wang looked at the first piece of intelligence, astonishment flashing in his eyes. After sending black-haired people off before white-haired people so many times, she was still alive. Her life was truly tough!

It seemed he would have to lend her a hand.

"The Chen Family still has three mid-stage Second-Rate masters?"

"Hm? Chen Kun has already set out to hunt down Su Dingfeng? He'll return in six days?"

"This is a fine opportunity!"

Qin Wang looked at the second piece of intelligence, his heart stirring.

He now had Beisu San Gong Xiang. The only thing he feared was a First-Rate Realm expert. If he used it properly against the Chen Family's three mid-stage Second-Rate masters, perhaps he could wipe out the Chen Family in one sweep at night before Chen Kun returned!

Qin Wang ignored the fifth and seventh pieces of intelligence.

"The next black market opening will have a palm-sized Mysterious Fragment? It will be of immense help to my future? How immense?"

Qin Wang looked at the ninth piece of intelligence, his heart stirring.

He had to make a trip to the black market anyway. He could conveniently take this Mysterious Fragment while he was there.

"The Thief Sky-Piercing Kite is hiding in Yan Yun County with the Scarlet Sun Divine Art?"

Qin Wang looked at the tenth piece of intelligence, his gaze flickering.

"It's difficult to act in the daytime. Night is best!"

"Tonight, I'll take down the Chen Family!"

Qin Wang closed the panel, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.

For his sake, his sister had sold herself for six hundred coins and had even willingly become a virgin maid, paving the way for him. Tonight was the perfect chance to save her from that pit of fire!

Yan Yun County.

Night, seven o'clock.

Qin Wang sat in a concealed corner by a wall, one li from the Chen Family Mansion, waiting with expectation filling his eyes.

Tonight.

The Chen Family would be destroyed!

Qin Wang had decided to use Beisu San Gong Xiang to subdue the Chen Family's Second-Rate masters and kill them one by one. Then he would kill that old witch, Old Madam Chen, and rescue his sister Qin Xuemei!

One had to know.

That old witch was vile beyond measure!

He had to cut her thirty-six times!

He would use the Soul Gathering Bowl to collect her soul and torment it in the future!
