Impact!
An impact that struck the soul!
A small lineage like the Chen Family actually had an ancestor?
This was simply a joke—a colossal joke!
Yet now... he was sitting right here in the flesh. A man like Chen Zhengyuan would never joke about such a thing.
But this... an ancestor at the Nascent Soul Realm First Layer?
He had concealed his cultivation!
The other party had definitely concealed his cultivation!
That was right, it had to be so. It had to be!
The Xu Family Head and Ning Family Head exchanged a glance, unable to stop a lingering fear from rising within them!
"No, this cannot be real. The Chen Family must be playing tricks. Yes, it has to be that."
"Brother Ning, don't you think so?" The Xu Family Head was already losing his composure.
A bitter expression appeared on the Ning Family Head's face. He wanted to refute him, but he did not know how. Could the Chen Family truly be playing tricks?
But the odds of such a thing were simply far too low!
"Chen Family Head, if we admit our mistake now, is there still a chance?" The Ning Family Head looked solemnly at Chen Zhengyuan.
"Sorry. The ancestor has given his orders, and we have no choice but to obey."
"Attack!"
"I'll do it!"
"I'll do it!"
At Chen Zhengyuan's command, everyone in the Chen Family was eager to make a move. After their strength had improved, they all wanted to stretch their limbs and properly display their power.
Yet the fastest to act were the Chen Family's Elders. They showed no mercy. In just one exchange, more than half the people brought by the Xu and Ning Families had already fallen!
The Xu Family Head and Ning Family Head were dumbstruck at the sight!
One month. It had only been one month—how could such an enormous change have taken place?
"Is that Chen Zhengming and Chen Zhengxiao?"
"How did the two of them become so strong?"
"What terrifying strength. What cultivation do they possess now?"
"Could they... be at the True Qi Realm Ninth Layer Peak?"
The Xu Family Head was at the True Qi Realm Third Layer, while the Ning Family Head was at the True Qi Realm Fourth Layer.
Throughout Yan Gui City, the two of them were the strongest. Even within a hundred miles around Yan Gui City, there was no one stronger than them.
Yet these Chen Family Elders had all reached the True Qi Realm Ninth Layer Peak?
With such strength, who in the entire Northern Plains Commandery could stand against them?
Run!
The two exchanged a glance. At that moment, they had only one thought: run, and escape the Chen Family as quickly as possible!
In the brief instant they froze, all the elites they had brought had already been slaughtered.
Next, it was their turn!
"Stop!"
Just as the Xu Family Head and Ning Family Head were certain to die, those two sudden words made their hearts jolt.
Could reinforcements have arrived?
But who would come to save them?
Could it be that the Xu and Ning Families also had hidden ancestors?
The Chen Family members were equally puzzled. Who had suddenly appeared?
And judging by the aura, this person seemed quite powerful!
"Kill!"
While eating melon seeds, Chen Changan calmly uttered those two words!
The moment he spoke, Chen Zhengyuan could not possibly ignore him. This was the ancestor's command!
"Wait!"
"I am..."
The newcomer was about to speak, but before he could finish, Chen Zhengyuan had already arrived before the Xu Family Head and Ning Family Head.
With a palm strike, two bangs rang out. The heads of Yan Gui City's other two great lineages fell to the ground, never to make another sound!
"You..."
"Transcendent Realm!"
"You're actually in the Transcendent Realm?"
The newcomers were none other than Wu Chengfeng, the Commandery Governor of Northern Plains Commandery, and Nan Xiangtian, the Nan Family Head.
After investigating, the two learned that the disturbance from a month ago had occurred in Yan Gui City, so they came here.
They had originally gone to the Xu and Ning Families first, only to be told that both families' elites had all gone to the Chen Family.
After giving it some thought, they felt that the Chen Family was the source of the disturbance, so they hurried over. They had not expected to witness what had just happened.
Neither of them had expected the Chen Family of Yan Gui City to possess such a powerful expert!
If that was the case, why had they been hiding away in Yan Gui City like a turtle in its shell?
The Xu and Ning Families might not have known much about the Chen Family's origins, but as the Commandery Governor of Northern Plains Commandery, Wu Chengfeng had heard a thing or two.
Back then, the Chen Family had been one of the foremost powers in the Great Zhou Kingdom. It had merely declined later on.
Could it be that the Chen Family was about to rise again?
"What? Are you two the helpers they invited?" Chen Zhengyuan asked coldly.
"No, Chen Family Head, please do not misunderstand."
"I am Wu Chengfeng, Commandery Governor of Northern Plains Commandery. I was not invited by them."
"As the Commandery Governor, I merely wished to ask about the reason behind this after seeing such a matter."
"Oh, and this is the Nan Family Head, Nan Xiangtian."
Nan Xiangtian looked at Chen Zhengyuan and nodded in greeting. After all, the other party was in the Transcendent Realm, while he was merely at the True Qi Realm Ninth Layer, not even at the Ninth Layer Peak.
Then, Wu Chengfeng and Nan Xiangtian involuntarily turned to look at Chen Changan.
They had seen it clearly just now. The one issuing orders in the Chen Family was actually this young man who was good for nothing but his handsome face.
"So it is the Commandery Governor of Northern Plains Commandery and the Nan Family Head."
"What brings you two to my Chen Family today?" Chen Zhengyuan smiled faintly.
With his current strength and that of the Chen Family, there was no need to fear these two at all.
After all, the Commandery Governor of Northern Plains Commandery was only at the True Qi Realm Ninth Layer Peak.
The Chen Family had five people like that!
"Hehe, the two of us..."
Wu Chengfeng smiled awkwardly. Before he could finish, he stopped because of Chen Changan in the distance.
"Da Huang, you're not watching anymore?"
Seeing Da Huang turn to leave with a disappointed expression, Chen Changan asked with a smile.
"Boring. This show was no good, though the melon seeds were not bad."
"Watching Lin Xiangliu and Wu Mingdao fight back then was much more thrilling."
Da Huang shook his head helplessly. A trace of reminiscence appeared in his eyes, and his expression was remarkably human.
Hearing this, Chen Changan also recalled that battle from back then.
"Without realizing it, a thousand years have already passed, haven't they?"
"I wonder whether those two are still alive." Chen Changan smiled faintly.
"With the talent those two had, they should still be alive unless something unexpected happened."
"Since you'll be out for so long this time, it would be good to visit them and catch up if you get the chance," Da Huang said after giving it some thought.
"Mm, that is not a bad idea." Chen Changan nodded. He had been thinking the same thing.
The conversation between man and dog completely bewildered Wu Chengfeng and Nan Xiangtian.
A man and a dog were talking?
This dog could actually speak human language?
Most terrifying of all, what were they talking about? A thousand years? Had they already lived for so long?
"Chen... Chen Family Head, these two..." Wu Chengfeng looked nervously at Chen Zhengyuan.
"Oh, this one is my Chen Family's ancestor."
"As for Da Huang..."
"It is no ordinary dog."
"Oh? Then what is it? A demon beast above the fifth tier?"
"No, it is the Dog King!"
Da Huang had only walked halfway when he heard that. His body stiffened. Damn it, are you done yet?
Dog King, Dog King! Your whole family is Dog King!
Wu Chengfeng and Nan Xiangtian exchanged another glance, both utterly baffled.
Could a Dog King speak human language?
Even if it was the Dog King, it was still only a dog. Its bloodline was right there—could it truly cultivate to such a level?
Or perhaps this dog... possessed another bloodline? Had its bloodline awakened?
No matter what, these were beings they could not afford to provoke!
"This junior, Wu Chengfeng, greets Senior Chen."
"This junior, Nan Xiangtian, greets Senior Chen."
The two respectfully bowed to Chen Changan, standing there obediently like well-behaved grandsons.
"Mm."
Chen Changan nodded faintly, then said, "Continue. Tell me, what did you come to the Chen Family for?"
"Yes, Senior!"
