Renowned Across Winter

News of the battle at the Phoenix Mountain Villa spread, making many bigwigs uneasy and on tenterhooks.

That troop deployment, with so many skilled fighters, was far superior to the defenses of their own quarters.

After all, all the members of the Adjudication Team were present that day.

Even under those circumstances, Chen Wang still managed to kill everyone, and no one was able to save the three bishops, which was quite astonishing.

As for why such detailed information was leaked, it was naturally because Chen Wang personally handled it.

Now that he has become famous Winter, he has publicized this matter extensively, which can also serve as a deterrent.

This is far more intimidating than Chen Wang assassinating several bigwigs.

After all, the scariest time is before the knife strikes.

Even Old Qin, a founding father who had weathered many storms, was quite frightened by him; otherwise, he wouldn't have risked escaping.

At this moment, Liu Baiying was still somewhat worried, "Won't doing this expose us to his view?"

Old Qin said, "You underestimate my abilities."

He placed another chess piece and chuckled softly, "This is called putting yourself in a desperate situation to survive. The most dangerous place is also the safest place. Besides, I have been training that stand-in for ten years. During these ten years, he has been with me all the time. In fact, he has handled many things for me."

"Even my sons didn't see through it, and Chen Wang has never met me before, so how could he know?"

The key point is that this Old Qin is different from Old Wang. Old Wang has dealt with Chen Wang a lot. He is Chen Wang's superior and has done many transactions with him. If he finds that he has killed the wrong person, he will naturally realize that something is wrong and will immediately go to look for him again.

But Old Qin was different. Chen Wang had never met him. The stand-in he found looked extremely similar to him and had even undergone some minor plastic surgery to make minor adjustments, making it almost impossible to tell them apart.

His deep thoughts were also fully revealed in this matter.

Liu Baiying made a move to concede defeat. "I admire you. I concede defeat in this game."

Old Qin laughed heartily, "It's not you who should admit defeat, but Chen Wang."

"Although the Church is currently in a very good position, it is like adding oil to a blazing fire; many people's eyes are now on him."

"Moreover, now that the Zombies outbreak has started and spread from East Island Lake, I'd like to see how this young Church speaker will deal with it."

The old man's eyes gleamed with a sharp light, like an aged lion king.

Although he is old and frail, his experience and shrewdness are far beyond what young people can match.

Through all the ups and downs of the years, he has been able to stand firm, and it's not just because of his seniority.

However, just as he finished speaking, the door suddenly clicked open, and someone pushed it open and walked in.

Old Qin turned his head and looked over. The room was full of his trained assassins, and no one had come out at the moment.

A young man peeked out; he was an extremely handsome young man with striking eyebrows and a dashing appearance.

How should we respond?

"Why don't you just ask me? Why gossip behind my back?"

The young man said calmly.

Old Qin: "..."

Liu Baiying: "..."

This scene was extremely bizarre.

What Old Qin just said wasn't boasting; there are real arrangements in place.

Moreover, his identity and information are top secret, so how could Chen Wang have come knocking on his door? Although he has never met Chen Wang in person, he has seen Chen Wang's photo countless times.

At this moment, Old Qin suddenly stood up, overturning the chessboard in front of him and scattering the chess pieces all over the ground.

Chen Wang walked in, and he tapped lightly with his hand.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Sword Qi pierced through the air, and several assassins were pierced through the forehead without any resistance.

Although they only had a small hole about the thickness of a finger on their foreheads, they had a large hole the size of a fist on the back of their heads.

In an instant, several assassins died.

This time they've truly become suicide soldiers.

Liu Baiying recognized the young man.

When he was ordered to kill him earlier, the young man jumped down from the building and came face to face with him.

But no trace of him was ever found after that.

At that time, Liu Baiying thought that the young man had realized he was no match for her and had fled for his life.

But after hearing about the bloody battle at the Phoenix Mountain Villa, he realized that the young man was probably hiding his strength and feigning weakness.

He was a man of few words! That was Liu Baiying's later assessment of him.

At this moment, Chen Wang made a move, killing several assassins before swaggering in.

Behind him stood a tall man with a stern face and a square jaw.

Liu Baiying was stunned when she saw him, and Old Qin's pupils contracted and his eyes narrowed.

The atmosphere became even more strange at this moment, and neither side rushed to make a move.

Chen Wang found a small stool and sat down.

There was originally a heavily armed assassin sitting on this bench, but he was killed in an instant.

He pointed to the tall man and said with a smile, "What... don't you recognize him? Let me introduce you, his name is Huo Changqing."

Huo Changqing's eyes were sharp, as if they could shoot out a cold light.

He said slowly, "Old leader, we meet again."

Old Qin glanced at Huo Changqing without showing any emotion and said softly, "What happened back then is in the past, Changqing, don't take it to heart too much."

Huo Changqing gave a bitter smile, "That's right, she's just a woman and a child. What does she mean to you?"

Huo Changqing was an outstanding soldier, Gene Warrior, and combat hero at Qiongqi Mining.

He has a wife and children.

However, during one of his outings, his wife was spotted by a member of the Qin Family, who dragged her into his car, sexually assaulted her, and then raped her to death.

His child was crying and screaming outside the car door when he was trampled to death by one of the Qin Family.

When Huo Changqing was serving as a guard, heard this news, he went completely mad.

He originally had a very happy family. His wife was virtuous and beautiful, and she managed the household very well. His son was very smart; at only three years old, he could already use a pistol and had also learned some martial arts from him.

He worked diligently for the Qin Family, risking his life to protect Qin Family.

However, his wife and son died at the hands of the Qin Family members, and Huo Changqing's first reaction was to seek revenge!

When his wife was harassed by Gao Yanei, Lin Chong, the instructor of the 800,000 Imperial Guards, chose to endure it.

If his wife had died at that time, Lin Chong might have been furious, but given Lin Chong personality, he might have simply endured it.

But Huo Changqing had no such scruples, and he erupted in an instant! He went straight for that Qin Family member, but unfortunately he couldn't kill him.

He was stopped after killing all the guards.

Because that member of the Qin Family was reporting the situation to Qin Zhong, the old patriarch of the Qin Family.

Qin Zhong has many experts around him.

He offended his superiors and committed a grave offense of disrespect.

Huo Changqing was beaten badly and trampled in the mud. No matter how much he struggled, it was to no avail.

A third-tier opponent is no match for a fourth-tier opponent.

He cried out loudly that he was innocent, that he had risked his life for the Qin Family, that he had been seriously injured, and that he had even received praise from the Old Qin.

But what he saw then was the old man's indifferent face and his unmoved expression.

Huo Changqing then realized the reality of this society.

He could not forget what Qin Zhong had said at the time.

"He killed your wife and children, so you want to kill him too? According to your logic, how many lives of my Qin Family members would be enough to pay for that?"

Huo Changqing was a man with military merits. He was taken away and imprisoned by Old Qin's men.

The relationship between that member of the Qin Family and Old Qin was not actually that close; it was only to maintain the dignity of the Uyghur Lineage and uphold the respect of those in power that Elder Old Qin maintained.

Huo Changqing's crimes were pronounced directly.

Later, Huo Changqing escaped and went into hiding as a freelancer, but was still pursued by Qiongqi Mining.

He was able to escape not because he was particularly capable, but because he had a good friend.

However, his good friend was also exposed because of this incident and lost his life.

Huo Changqing was depressed for a while, but later joined the Church and focused on Qiongqi Mining.

However, finding a high-ranking elder to seek revenge is simply impossible.

He had been harboring hatred for so many years.

Chen Wang had learned about his situation; at the time, he only said one sentence to Huo Changqing.

"I also have a grudge against that Old Qin. If you follow me, I'll help you get revenge."

This tough man immediately knelt down, tears welling in his eyes.

The Six Souls Heart Refining Curse plunged him into his own inner demons.

The reason it exerted such great power was because his guilt towards his wife, son, and that good friend had reached its peak.

He distinguished himself in battle within the Church and was promoted to the fifth rank.

He knew that the Church people were using him and making him do things he didn't want to do.

He had no affection for the bishops of the Church.

The moment he heard that Chen Wang wanted to help him get revenge, he knelt down without the slightest hesitation.

A man's knees are worth gold.

If it were truly possible to avenge this deep-seated hatred, Huo Changqing would be willing to kneel down.

Sure enough, the young man who single-handedly found Phoenix Mountain Villa and massacred its inhabitants was not lying.

He actually found the whereabouts of the founding father of Qiongqi Mining.

Huo Changqing didn't know how he did it; it seemed somewhat unbelievable to him.

This old man was extremely meticulous, experienced many hardships, and his methods were incredibly profound.

But he found a place to stay so easily.

That member of the Qin Family died later due to other matters, so he didn't have the chance to take revenge himself.

All the hatred then fell on Old Qin.

At this moment, Huo Changqing stood here, and his powerful aura emanated from him. He was now a fifth-level expert.

Liu Baiying confronted him sharply, her gaze as piercing as a sword.

Old Qin looked at Chen Wang and said slowly, "You can't possibly sweep away the Three Great Powers by yourself. Qiongqi Mining is also a formidable opponent for you. I am willing to join forces with you to swallow up Qiongqi Mining."

"I know you have this ambition, and I know you have this scheming mind."

Based on the information he gathered, this young man named Chen Wang was not a hothead.

He possesses immense strength, yet he keeps it hidden.

They could have killed those die-hard elements in the Church, but instead they won over their officers first, and after the deed was done, they didn't target anyone.

They possess both ruthless methods and compassionate hearts.

Even Old Jiang Fox like him had to admire him.

Despite differing stances, one has to admit, the younger generation is truly formidable!

There's this advantage to dealing with smart people.

A reckless brute who only knows how to kill and slash is a real headache and difficult to negotiate with.

"You're absolutely right. If you can cooperate with me, it will bring me great benefits."

"I do want to have a foothold in Qiongqi Mining," Chen Wang said calmly.

Old Qin's eyes lit up.

However, the young man then slowly said, "I have already promised Huo Changqing that if he wants revenge, I am willing to go along with it."

Old Qin said in disbelief, "The power I can mobilize is far beyond what a fifth-tier warrior can match. If you spare me, I can give you even more."

Chen Wang frowned and said, "Are you deaf? Do you think I'm talking nonsense?"

Old Qin: "..."

This young man demonstrated remarkable political skill.

He thought he was a smart person.

I never expected this guy to be such a brute! Liu Baiying said coldly, "If you want to kill Old Qin, you'll have to step over my dead body!"

Chen Wang said calmly, "Okay."

He then summoned the Green Ox Sword.

Whoosh! A streak of azure light shot through the air, carrying with it an aura of utter devastation!

Liu Baiying instinctively channeled his power throughout his body to defend, but he was too careless in the face of the Green Ox Sword. At this distance, he could hardly defend against it! The Green Ox Sword wrapped around his neck, and Liu Baiying screamed in agony as his head was severed from his body, and his corpse fell into a pool of blood.

Chen Wang stepped over him, grinning, and said, "You got over, so what?"

Old Qin: "..."

His heart skipped a beat.

What the hell kind of freak is this?

What kind of ability is this?!

Instantly kill a fifth-tier expert!?

He watched the young man step over Liu Baiying's corpse and couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

This young man clearly possessed unimaginable power.

"You... you... you..."

The veteran of Qiongqi Mining, who had always maintained a deep and shrewd demeanor and a calm and collected image, couldn't help but break down at this moment; he was truly panicked! Chen Wang turned to Huo Changqing and said, "He's yours now."

Huo Changqing hadn't paid attention to Chen Wang's methods; he had been staring intently at Old Qin with bloodshot eyes. Huo Changqing nodded.

Thank you.

His voice was a little hoarse.

Chen Wang, without making a sound, touched a jade pendant at his waist.

After Huo Changqing kills someone, he will use this jade pendant to collect the soul.

This jade pendant has the function of collecting souls. In this way, it will not delay the soul search, and you can also do someone a favor for free. Why not do it?
