A while later.
Chen Shuangbai rode the Flowing Cloud Flying Pouch and finally arrived at the gate of his own mansion. The Chen Household gate, which was usually tightly closed, was now wide open. The Chen Lineage members had long been crowding at the gate. When they saw the celestial master from the sky arrive, they all knelt down and called him "Immortal".
Chen Shuangbai was unmoved. Instead, he scanned the hundred or so members of the Chen Household family and finally focused on an elderly man in the middle who held a peach wood cane, whose body was somewhat hunched, but whose face was full of joy and whose eyes were kind.
Upon seeing the old man, Chen Shuangbai felt a pang of sadness, but no tears came; her tone softened involuntarily.
He descended from the clouds, landing in front of the old man, grasped the old man's hand, which was as old and weathered as tree bark, and said softly.
"Grandpa, your grandson is back."
Looking at his grown-up grandson, Chen Yizhao pursed his lips twice, but before he could speak, two streams of tears flowed down his cheeks. His voice trembled slightly as he said, "Good child, it's good you're back, it's good you're back!"
Chen Shuangbai also felt a stinging sensation in her nose and a burning sensation in her eyes.
He stepped forward, as if to help his grandfather up, but unexpectedly, his grandfather Chen Yizhao's body suddenly went limp and he fell to the ground.
Chen Shuangbai quickly used her Law Power to support it, thus averting a tragedy.
"Master!"
Chen Shuangbai was unusually shocked, and the Chen Clan clan members surrounding him also became agitated. The heads of the several branches of the family also rushed forward to see what was going on.
One of the men, a rather handsome middle-aged man, stepped forward and took Old Master Chen's hand, looking at him with concern. Then he said to Chen Shuangbai, " Bai'er, don't worry. Your grandfather must have been overjoyed to see you return home safe and sound, and that's why he had a sudden rush of Qi and Blood to his head and fainted."
This is Chen Moyan, the person in charge of the second branch of the family.
"Quickly, third brother, help Father inside to rest, and also fetch a doctor."
Chen Bingwen, the head of the third branch of the family, hurriedly agreed and was about to order his wife to find a servant to fetch a doctor.
A group of people, working together, finally managed to help Old Master Chen into the mansion. They arrived at the main hall and were about to head to the bed in the side hall.
And it was at this moment that all of them became unable to move.
A pressure far exceeding that of ordinary innate masters suddenly descended, pressing down on their bodies and minds, as if a terrifying force was staring intently at them, and cold sweat instantly broke out on their backs.
Chen Moyan was quite brave; even at this moment, he was still able to stammer out a few words.
"Why... why... is Bai..."
Chen Shuangbai sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the dark circles under his grandfather's eyes. Law Power to penetrate his body and sensed the toxins lingering in his internal organs. He did not speak, but turned around and called over Chen Zhuang, who had been his long-time follower.
Chen Zhuang was still able to move, and when he heard his young master calling him, he hurriedly went forward.
Chen Shuangbai didn't turn around, and said coldly, "This is a Golden Blade Talisman. Go find Uncle Li, go out and lock the Chen Household up inside. No one is allowed to leave. If anyone disobeys, recite the incantation and kill them."
This Golden Blade Talisman is a very cheap talisman. It can only release three golden blade energies. It contains a portion of Spirit Power, so it does not require Law Power to activate. It can be activated simply by reciting the corresponding incantation.
Upon hearing his young master's tone, Chen Zhuang knew that this matter was not going to end well.
He patted his chest, as if to assure him, "Don't worry, young master, I'll go right away."
Chen Shuangbai still did not turn around.
Holding Old Master Chen's hand, he slowly channeled his Law Power into him, then took out a pill bottle from his Storage Bag and retrieved a Miasma-Cleansing Pill.
Using his Law Power, he sent it into his grandfather's mouth, then slowly activated it with his Law Power to allow it to exert its medicinal power, seep into his internal organs, and remove the toxins lingering within. He then made a small incision in his other hand and expelled it onto the ground, where a patch of blackness was visible.
Old Master Chen has been poisoned.
Chen Shuangbai lowered her eyes, her gaze filled with murderous intent.
Moreover, this is not the kind of deadly poison that causes immediate death, but a poison that needs to be ingested slowly. Over time, it will damage the internal organs, disrupt the body's vital energy, and ultimately lead to death.
But it looked more like a sudden death, so outsiders wouldn't have suspected poisoning.
Such a substance, requiring long-term consumption, must have been added to food. Even if it was arranged by outsiders, it would still require insiders to coordinate the process.
Another Rejuvenating Spring-Turning Pill was sent into the grandfather's body. As the pill slowly took effect and began to repair his body, Chen Shuangbai slowly turned around. With a thought, the Chen Household in the room felt as if a small mountain was pressing down on their backs, and they all immediately knelt down.
Looking at the pool of black blood on the ground, they immediately understood what had happened!
Da da da!
Chen Shuangbai walked slowly to them, flicked his sleeve, and a chair appeared behind him. He sat down with an air of authority.
His gaze was like a knife, sweeping over the kneeling Chen Household family members. Those Chen Household whose eyes were swept by him felt as if their hearts were being meticulously dissected, turned inside out, and thoroughly examined.
Suddenly.
Chen Shuangbai raised her hand and flicked it, and clear water shot out from the pool outside the window, transforming into a water chain that shot through the air and tied up the kneeling couple from the third wife.
Suddenly, they discovered they could speak.
The couple from the third house, who were bound by the water chain, screamed in terror.
"Nephew, what are you doing?"
The Chen Bingwen couple were suspended in mid-air, and the fear of not being able to touch the ground made them scream in panic.
"Do what?"
Chen Shuangbai smiled coldly, and the water chain transformed again, forming a sharp water blade that instantly severed Chen Bingwen's wife's head.
Blood suddenly splattered all over the ground, drenching the rest of the Chen Household.
"Aaaaaah!"
Chen Bingwen, who was closest to the body, looked at the headless corpse lying beside him and screamed in terror.
But Chen Shuangbai only glanced at him, and the latter seemed to have his throat gripped by an invisible hand. Even though his face turned red, he couldn't utter a single word.
Chen Moyan was also so frightened that his heart pounded violently.
He looked at Chen Shuangbai, at this nephew who resembled his elder brother, and asked tremblingly, "Big... they are your family, your father's brother's wives, how could they..."
Chen Shuangbai remained silent, only coldly staring at his second uncle, which made Chen Moyan feel increasingly cold, and an unbelievable guess gradually rose in his mind.
He turned around abruptly, his eyes wide with fury, seemingly filled with anger and confusion.
"Third brother, did you poison him?!"
Chen Bingwen shouted in terror, but no sound came out; he was clearly terrified and completely lost.
Chen Shuangbai possessed keen spiritual sense. He could clearly discern the thoughts of this group of the Chen Clan clan members who had no cultivation or even martial arts skills, just as he could read the lines on his palm.
He had only used his intimidation to slightly suppress this group of people, and the third branch of the family, especially his third uncle's wife, immediately revealed their true colors.
