Chapter 60

"Great Elder, you should go to Tianxiang City to ensure the safety of the Jiang family."

Yan Zhanyun looked at Yan Hongtai. As for Chicheng, there was no need to worry at all. Jiang Chen and the big yellow dog were both extremely powerful, equivalent to experts at the Human Dan Realm. If Yan Chenyu's Nine Yin Mysterious Meridian were to unleash its power, it would be comparable to Yan Hongtai.

"Alright, I will set off immediately and head to Tianxiang City. Brother Jiang Chen, you can rest assured. With me, Yan Hongtai, here, no outsider will touch a single blade of grass of the Jiang family."

Yan Hongtai guaranteed.

"Thank you for your trouble."

Jiang Chen bowed to Yan Hongtai. With Yan Hongtai personally taking charge, he felt much more at ease. Next, it was time to settle accounts with the Li family. After dealing with the Li family, the Jiang family would have no more worries. Then, Jiang Chen would set out for the Origin Mountains, leaving this place to truly begin his journey.

Yan Hongtai left and went to Tianxiang City. The Yan family began to prepare, ensuring they would not be caught off guard if the Li family made a move.

The Li family!

In recent days, the Li family had been in deep mourning. The white mourning cloth for Li Changhao had not been removed, and now it was added for Li Changming. The entire Li family was in a state of extreme depression and tension. The anger of Li Shanyue made even the lowest-ranking guards and servants tremble, not daring to breathe heavily.

Inside the Li family compound, a large mourning hall was set up with black cloth. Two large black coffins were placed in the middle, with the white character "奠" (mourning) written on them. Li Shanyue and several other experts at the Human Dan Realm stood in front of the mourning hall, the atmosphere extremely oppressive.

At this moment, a spy from the Li family ran over in a panic, his head covered in sweat and his face tense.

"What's the matter?"

An expert at the Human Dan Realm frowned and asked.

"Lord, Jiang Chen is not dead."

The man said cautiously.

Boom!

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Li Shanyue's anger flared up. He turned around sharply, the scar on his face looking particularly fierce.

"What did you say? What is Chen Shuang doing, failing to kill him?"

Li Shanyue's anger boiled over.

"Jiang Chen is indeed not dead. I saw him and the big yellow dog enter the Yan family compound with my own eyes. By the way, there was also a purple-clothed girl, about fourteen or fifteen years old, who followed them. I didn't see any disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect come out of the mountains."

The man spoke very carefully, afraid of angering Li Shanyue. If Li Shanyue were to vent his anger on him and slap him to death, it would be a great injustice. Li Shanyue had just killed two of his own people not long ago.

The spy did not recognize the purple-clothed girl as Yan Chenyu. Since being hit by the cold energy of the Nine Yin Mysterious Meridian, Yan Chenyu had not left the Yan family compound and had grown into a graceful young woman. The spy naturally did not recognize her.

"Good boy, you really have a strong life force."

Li Shanyue's fists clenched, making a cracking sound. He had thought that with Chen Shuang's abilities, he would surely kill Jiang Chen. If that were the case, although he would not have killed Jiang Chen himself, it would still have relieved his hatred. With Jiang Chen dead, he would have focused on the Jiang family in Tianxiang City, looking for an opportunity to destroy them.

But he never expected that Jiang Chen would have such a strong life force, coming out of the Origin Mountains alive. This made Li Shanyue extremely angry. As for the identity of the purple-clothed girl mentioned by the spy, Li Shanyue did not care at all; he only cared about Jiang Chen's life and death.

"Lord, this boy is incredibly extraordinary. Even the Heavenly Sword Sect couldn't kill him. Do you think Chen Shuang and the others were killed by Jiang Chen?"

One of the experts at the Human Dan Realm frowned and asked.

"I think it's very likely. Lord, this boy's growth rate is too fast. We must find a way to eliminate him as soon as possible. If we let him continue to grow, it won't be long before our revenge will be impossible, and our Li family will be destroyed by this boy."

An elder of the Li family spoke, the speed of Jiang Chen's growth finally making them feel fear. Keeping Jiang Chen alive would be a serious threat to the Li family, and they must eliminate him as soon as possible.

"Did you see clearly that Jiang Chen went to the Yan family and not back to Tianxiang City?"

Li Shanyue looked at the spy.

"I saw it clearly, there's no mistake."

The spy said.

"It seems the time has come to decide the outcome with the Yan family. Gather all the forces of the Li family and prepare for a battle with the Yan family. Kill Jiang Chen at all costs."

Li Shanyue said through gritted teeth. All three of his sons were dead, and he could no longer bear it. He had to act now. If Jiang Chen returned to Tianxiang City, he would be afraid of the experts at the Human Dan Realm in the Jiang family and would not dare to act. In the Yan family, Li Shanyue still had a chance to fight.

"Lord, we have just suffered such heavy losses, and our morale is low. Is it appropriate to start a war with the Yan family now?"

One person expressed concern.

"No more talk. We must fight. I will use the blood of Jiang Chen and the Yan family to honor my three sons and the Li family's fallen geniuses."

Li Shanyue waved his hand, having made up his mind to kill Jiang Chen.

That night, both the Li family and the Yan family were in motion, and the entire Chicheng was in a state of tension, as if a storm was about to break. From the tense changes in the two families' businesses, it was clear that this time they were going to fight for real.

"I see that many of the Li family's businesses have closed, and the Yan Yulou has also closed. It looks like these two families are really going to have a big battle. Chicheng is going to be in chaos."

"It's all because of Jiang Chen. He killed Li Shanyue's three sons, and even Li Changming, who reached the early stage of the Human Dan Realm, died at his hands. It's no wonder Li Shanyue is furious."

"You must have heard about the Origin Mountains assessment during the day. Not a single member of the Li family's younger generation survived; they all died, all because of Jiang Chen. This Jiang Chen is incredibly bold, even killing disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect. It's unbelievable."

"He's too ruthless, daring to kill even the Heavenly Sword Sect's disciples. He's the most ruthless person I've ever seen. This chaos in Chicheng is all because of him."

"This guy is a demon. I heard that Tianxiang City was also in chaos because of him. The Murong family in Tianxiang City was also destroyed by him. His methods are ruthless, truly ruthless."

...

Chicheng was about to be in chaos, and everyone was sighing. Everywhere, people were talking about Jiang Chen's name. From Tianxiang City to Chicheng, Jiang Chen had undoubtedly become a demon in people's eyes. Wherever he went, trouble followed.

For the next three days, both families were in a state of tense preparation. Li Shanyue did not bury his two sons; he wanted to avenge them before letting them rest.

In the evening, the Li family gathered all their forces, ready for battle. Li Shanyue, dressed in black, sat at the head of the meeting hall.

"Lord, everything is ready."

An expert at the Human Dan Realm said.

"Good. Tonight, we will have a decisive battle with the Yan family."

Li Shanyue said coldly.

"Lord, our morale is low. The spy reported that the Yan family is also well-prepared. In this situation, we may not be a match for them."

Someone expressed concern.

"No more talk. There is no retreat. Even if we both suffer heavy losses, even if our Li family is destroyed, we must kill Jiang Chen today. Otherwise, once Jiang Chen grows up, our Li family will only be left to be slaughtered."

Li Shanyue was a ruthless person; otherwise, he would not have been able to establish himself in Chicheng.

At this moment, thousands of miles away, a huge black eagle flew out of the Origin Mountains, moving at an incredible speed. The black eagle was about ten feet in size, with hard black wings like iron.

"Haha, trapped for twenty years, I'm finally free."

The black eagle laughed and transformed into a man in his fifties, thin and wearing a large black robe. His sharp eagle eyes flickered with cold light.

"There's a city ahead, let's take a look."

The old man's body flickered, transforming back into the black eagle, flying rapidly towards Chicheng. As a great demon at the early stage of the Human Dan Realm, its speed was incredibly fast, and it reached above Chicheng in the blink of an eye.

Whoosh...

The appearance of the black eagle stirred up whirlwinds in the sky above Chicheng, and the powerful pressure of the Human Dan Realm made people feel extremely oppressed.

"Look, a big eagle, what a powerful aura."

"Heaven, could that be a great demon at the Human Dan Realm? Why would it appear here?"

...

Many people saw the black eagle, amazed. In this area of Chicheng, there had never been a presence at the Human Dan Realm.

The Yan family!

Jiang Chen looked up, frowning. With his keen eyesight, he could immediately tell the strength of the black eagle. This black eagle was at the peak of the early stage of the Human Dan Realm, just one step away from the middle stage.

The big yellow dog looked at the black eagle and suddenly grinned, for reasons unknown.

"A great demon at the Human Dan Realm."

Yan Zhanyun was also shocked. With the Li family and the Yan family on the brink of war, the sudden appearance of a great demon at the Human Dan Realm had thrown the entire Chicheng into chaos, and it was unclear what other major changes might occur.

The black eagle, which had been circling in the sky, suddenly flickered, its sharp eyes focusing on a spot, which was the location of the Li family.

"There's a treasure here, hidden very mysteriously, but I can still detect it. A familiar scent, the spirit of a Blood-Winged Mystic Eagle. Haha, a Blood-Winged Mystic Eagle."

The black eagle suddenly laughed, its wings flapping as it transformed into the old man, descending towards the Li family.

The Blood-Winged Mystic Eagle was a rare type of eagle, possessing the noblest bloodline among eagles. The black eagle, being an eagle itself, had an extraordinary sense of perception for its kind. Therefore, even though the spirit of the Blood-Winged Mystic Eagle was hidden very well, the black eagle still sensed it.

What the black eagle never expected was that in this small Chicheng, the spirit of a Blood-Winged Mystic Eagle would appear. If he could obtain this spirit, he would have the chance to absorb the bloodline of the Blood-Winged Mystic Eagle, inherit its innate abilities, and undergo a complete transformation.

Inside the Li family compound, everyone was still paying attention to the black eagle. The old man in the black robe suddenly appeared, landing near Li Shanyue. His eyes scanned the area like knives, then focused on Li Shanyue.

"It's on you. Hand over the spirit of the Blood-Winged Mystic Eagle, or I will kill you all."

The black eagle opened his mouth and threatened.
