Chapter 10

Chen Chang'an had a strange look on his face, his heart filled with endless doubt. "Patriarch, could it be that I am... the young master of some mysterious noble family? And that you are not actually my real uncle? And that my birth parents are still alive, and they are all very powerful beings? I was just raised outside?"

"Tsk!" Chen Xuantong sneered, pursing his lips. "How could that be! You are my real nephew!"

Chen Chang'an touched his nose and looked curiously at the nine elders. "Then why aren't you all blaming me for causing such a big disaster? And you even encourage me to cause more trouble? Aren't you afraid I'll one day break through the heavens?"

"Hahaha, break through the heavens? Then our Chen family can also go and patch it up!" Chen Jiu laughed loudly. "Moreover, our Chen family has always been united, always helping family over reason!"

"That's right, if you are timid, how can you grow?" Chen Ba smiled.

At this moment, Chen Yi said solemnly, "Elder Ba is right. You are clearly a piece of extraordinary gold, how can you be refined gently?"

Chen Er, holding a goose feather fan, slowly spoke, "Chang'an, we cultivators must bear everything with our lives! We don't believe in heaven, we don't submit to fate, nothing can stop us! Not even the masses can bury our hearts, and the gods cannot make us bow!"

The others all nodded in agreement.

The eyes of the Chen family's descendants were burning, all feeling honored to be born into the Chen family.

Chen Chang'an's eyes sparkled, his heart surging with passion!

These elders were all supporting him to be brave and fearless!

So his future actions would be dominated by dominance!

After all, he had the Chen family and the God-Burying Coffin... these two powerful backings!

"Patriarch, it's not good!"

At this moment, a Chen family steward rushed in anxiously.

"Oh? What happened?"

Chen Xuantong frowned slightly.

"Patriarch, elders, young master..." The steward who rushed in looked flustered.

He took a deep breath and continued, "The other three major families in the capital, the Liu family, the Wang family, and the Wu family, have all announced that they will cut off business relations with us!"

"And many of our businesses and spirit stone mines have also been boycotted by the major families!"

"Even the imperial family has issued a notice, saying that the actions of our Chen family have nothing to do with the Great Zhou Kingdom!"

As he finished speaking, the room fell silent.

"What's going on?" Chen Xuantong frowned, then seemed to understand something. "Could it be that the Gu family has made a move?"

The steward, a middle-aged man, glanced secretly at Chen Chang'an and said, lowering his head, "Master is right, it's the Gu family!"

"The Gu family is spreading rumors that Gu Qingcheng has already consummated her marriage with Jun Wujian, and they have also set the engagement... They say..."

"Hmm?" Chen Jiu's eyes widened. "What are they saying?"

"They say that our young master, out of love and hate, made Eighth Elder and Ninth Elder kill Jun Wujian! So now all the families in the capital want to distance themselves from our Chen family!"

As the steward finished speaking, Chen Jiu roared in anger, "What a load of bull! That's what the Gu family is saying?"

"Ah... yes... yes!" The steward was terrified by Chen Jiu's authority.

Everyone fell silent, their eyes narrowing.

"Chang'an, what do you think?"

At this moment, Chen Er, holding the goose feather fan, smiled and looked at Chen Chang'an.

"Ha!" Chen Chang'an sneered. "I didn't expect the Gu family to choose to go all the way wrong instead of coming to us for peace!"

His eyes narrowed. "The one who came up with this strategy is probably not that fool, Gu Qingshan!"

"You're right, it must be their ancestor, Gu Changhong, who came up with this idea." Chen Er smiled slightly. "They are probably trying to isolate our Chen family in the entire capital. Ha, interesting."

"Indeed, interesting." Chen Chang'an sneered. "I didn't kill anyone from their family before because they didn't have the intention to kill me. If they provoke me again... hah, I won't be so polite!"

"Those who don't offend me, I won't offend them. Those who offend me, I will kill them!"

Chen Chang'an said coldly, his eyes looking down on everyone.

This made the steward tremble with fear.

The other elders all nodded.

"Go, let those families isolate us. If they try to extend their claws to our Chen family... whoever extends their hand, we will cut off their hand!"

Chen Xuantong said coldly, completely disregarding those families that were isolating the Chen family.

"Yes!"

The steward immediately responded respectfully.

...

With the matter settled, Chen Chang'an returned to his room.

He placed the bodies of Jun Wujian and the two old men directly into the God-Burying Coffin.

Soon, the three bodies were completely gone!

A pure stream of energy flowed back into Chen Chang'an's body, nourishing his dantian.

"Too little."

Chen Chang'an said, unsatisfied.

Then he found a sword.

It was a heavy sword, one foot wide and nearly eight feet long!

"Heaven Rank... Overlord Sword!"

This was a Heaven Rank heavy sword in the Chen family's collection!

The weapon ranks are divided into: Yellow Rank, Mystic Rank, Earth Rank, Heaven Rank, King Rank, Imperial Rank, Sovereign Rank, Venerable Rank, and Divine Rank.

Each realm corresponds to a level of weapon.

Then Chen Chang'an began to cultivate the World-Burying Sword Technique.

First move, Instant Kill!

Second move, Throat Seal!

Third move, Heaven Shatter!

...

The next day, a servant rushed to Chen Chang'an's door, his anxious voice coming through.

"Young master, it's not good, Young Master Xuan was bullied at the academy. The patriarch wants you to handle it."

Hearing this, a cold light flashed in Chen Chang'an's eyes. He put the Overlord Sword into his spatial ring and walked out.

Seeing the anxious servant outside the door, Chen Chang'an said coldly, "Take me there!"

"Okay!"

The servant sighed in relief and immediately led the way.

Chen Chang'an couldn't help but think of a young, innocent face and a thin figure.

Young Master Xuan, also known as Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuantong's son!

Chen Chang'an's cousin!

"Ha, someone actually dares to bully him, truly courting death!" Chen Chang'an muttered coldly, his steps quickening.

...

At the same time, in a corner of the Great Zhou Academy, unnoticed by others.

"Crack!"

With the sound of bones breaking, a thin figure was thrown to the ground.

A large area of the ground was quickly stained red with blood.

"Wow, your bones are really hard!"

A young man in blue, with a sinister look, walked over slowly, looking down at Chen Xuan, who couldn't stand up. "Tsk, Chen Xuan, your Chen family is about to be destroyed, and you're still so arrogant?"

Two other young men also approached slowly, their arms crossed, their faces full of contempt and pity. "It's just a hundred spirit stones, hand them over and it's over. When your Chen family is exterminated, our three families might still spare you a dog's life!"

"Liu Heng, Wang Gang, Wu Hong!"

Chen Xuan's left arm was broken, and he had over a dozen injuries, the pain making his face pale and sweat pouring down.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Ha, my big brother Chang'an is back. If you dare to hit me, you better prepare to die!"
