You Will Definitely Cause Rivers of Blood
Upon hearing this, Cheng Chuan grabbed the guard's hand, his knuckles turning white and veins bulging, like a winding Little Snake slithering across the back of his hand. He even wanted to kill the guard in front of him with a single palm strike.
"Family Head, calm down, don't get agitated. The family rules say that you must remain calm in the face of danger and never lose your composure!" The elder, previously referred to as the Grand Elder, came before Cheng Chuan and anxiously advised him:
"The situation is unclear right now; you need to get him to explain things clearly."
"Who killed Shou'er? Was it someone from the Liu Family?" Cheng Chuan threw the guard to the ground and asked angrily.
"Yes, yes, they are those outsiders from the Liu Family," the guard said tremblingly.
"Where's Cheng Kun? Wasn't he supposed to be protecting me? And you need to explain the whole thing clearly!!"
"Elder Cheng Kun is also dead. According to the information, the Eldest Young Master coveted her beauty and was killed. As for the other subordinates, we don't know much about them yet..."
The guard described the intelligence sent back from outside. After all, all the Cheng Family present were dead, and this news was brought back by the Cheng Family family spies, so the specifics were not very clear.
"Smack!!"
Cheng Chuan slapped the guard hard across the face. The force of the slap sent the guard flying, crashing into a shelf next to the conference hall, which instantly collapsed.
"You know nothing, what use are you bunch of useless trash to me?"
Cheng Chuan could barely contain his anger. He only had this one son, his only hope, and he had always doted on him.
He turned around, his bloodshot eyes looking at the Grand Elder of the Cheng Family standing to the side.
The Grand Elder was startled by his gaze and thought to himself: Could it be that he knows I've been looking for Cheng Shou? I didn't expect Cheng Shou to be so lustful, running off that very night before I could even make any arrangements.
"Grand Elder, have you found out the identities of those four people?" Cheng Chuan's voice broke into the Grand Elder's ears.
Upon hearing this question, the Grand Elder's expression relaxed almost imperceptibly. As long as he didn't know that it was he who arranged for Cheng Shou to go out, it would be fine. Otherwise, his Family Head might really chop him in half with one palm.
"Family Head, we've found some information. The man and Liu Qing both graduated from the Jia Nan Academy, according to the current information."
"The man doesn't seem to be someone of great power, and the two little girls are his daughters. As for the woman, we haven't found any information about her, but among the four of them, the man is the one who leads them."
Upon hearing the Grand Elder's words, Cheng Chuan's eyes flickered slightly. Generally, those who choose to go to the Jia Nan Academy are not from any major power. Although their Dean has a great reputation, major powers all have their own training systems.
A fierce Killing Intent flashed in his eyes as he roared at the Elder in the hall, "Summon everyone immediately! I want that little beast to wish he were dead!"
"Yes!" At this moment, no one in the hall dared to say anything against it, lest their Family Head use them as a sacrifice.
The Grand Elder wiped the sweat from his brow. Suddenly, Cheng Chuan's voice came again. "Grand Elder, I heard you looked for Shou'er before?"
The Grand Elder stiffened, turned around, and said, "I just happened to run into him earlier and we chatted for a bit."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Chuan nodded slightly and said:
"Okay, you can go now. Anyone who doesn't arrive within one minute will be treated as a traitor!"
After everyone left, Cheng Chuan stood quietly in the center of the hall, his aura becoming increasingly suppressed.
Inside the Liu Manor, all the key members of the Liu Family gathered together.
"Father, we must hurry over to help Xiao Tian. Cheng Shou is dead, and given Cheng Chuan's personality, he certainly won't let this go easily. We must get there quickly, and considering Xiao Tian's past actions, he might wipe out the entire Cheng Family."
"Although we'd love for the Cheng Family to be wiped out, if Xiao Tian makes a move, we'll definitely have to confront Burning Flame Valley."
Liu Qing looked at his father Liu Shan, and said in a deep voice.
Both the Liu Family and the Cheng Family are subordinate forces of the Burning Flame Valley. If the Liu Family were to destroy the Cheng Family, it would at most be considered an internal strife, and the Burning Flame Valley would not be affected.
However, if Xiao Tian were to destroy the Cheng Family, it would be tantamount to slapping the face of the Burning Flame Valley, and he would then be hunted down by the Burning Flame Valley.
Although Xiao Tian was already Dou Zun, the reputation of Burning Flame Valley had long been ingrained in their hearts.
"What the Young Clan Leader said makes sense, but wouldn't this put us at odds with the Cheng Family from the start?" an Elder from the Liu Family stepped forward and said.
"The Cheng Family and our Liu Family have always been irreconcilable enemies. Are you all afraid of the Cheng Family? When has our Liu Family ever been so afraid of trouble?" Liu Qing looked directly at the Elder.
"Alright, that's enough. Time is of the essence. Let's get there quickly. At worst, we'll give up some of Tian Huang City's resources to the Cheng Family."
Liu Shan directly stopped the argument between the two parties and made the final decision.
He made this decision after careful consideration; in his view, this investment was a sure-fire way to make a profit.
Although the Liu Family has seemingly lost a lot of benefits, putting aside Xiao Tian's great kindness to the Liu Family, Xiao Tian's potential alone is enough for him to take this risk.
A Dou Zun in his twenties, given time, might eventually overpower even the Burning Flame Valley.
With the help of his family's relationship with Xiao Tian, his fortunes will definitely rise, and he will be able to get back many times over what he lost.
Seeing that the Family Head had made his decision, the other Elder said nothing more and nodded solemnly.
"Then let's go out now. Fifth Elder, please gather the best members of the clan and get here as soon as possible. There might be a tough battle today."
Liu Shan looked at one of the Elder and gave him instructions.
"Yes, Family Head!" After saying that, he walked outside.
Liu Shan glanced at the sky outside, then took the lead and headed towards where Xiao Tian and the others were, with Liu Qing and the elders of the Liu family following closely behind.
However, as soon as they left the manor, they encountered another group of menacing people.
"Liu Shan, hand over the murderer who killed my son, or I will make sure your entire Liu Family is slaughtered."
The newcomers were none other than Cheng Chuan and his Cheng Family. Cheng Chuan, his eyes bloodshot, coldly addressed Liu Shan.
"Old Cheng, please calm down. We are deeply sorry for what happened to your son. Please accept our condolences. Everything can be discussed. Our Liu Family Liu Family offer you half of our shops and markets in the North City as compensation for this matter."
Liu Shan landed on the ground and looked at Cheng Chuan, whose eyes were bloodshot, and said...
Upon hearing Liu Shan's words, Cheng Chuan gritted his teeth and glared at Liu Shan: "Bullshit! I only have one son, the future successor of the Cheng Family."
