Chapter 31: Raiding the Family

This roar woke up all the soldiers of the Chen family, who lost their will to resist.

Clang, clang, clang...

The remaining six or seven hundred soldiers all threw down their long spears and crossbows; some even took off their armor and threw it on the ground, then prostrated themselves, "Spare our lives, honorable lords of the Yang family, spare our lives. We are just soldiers."

"Spare us, we are willing to join the Yang family."

"I have skills, I have reached the fifth level of Qi Gong, the realm of explosive Qi. I am willing to serve the Yang family, I only ask for my life to be spared." A captain at the fifth level of Qi Gong repeatedly kowtowed.

The fifth level of Qi Gong is indeed considered a semi-talent, and no noble family would find it excessive.

"Hmph! All of you come over and accept the reorganization of the Yang family. Yun Chong, Hua Long, you lead the soldiers to first detain these surrendered people, then screen them one by one. The elites and talents who sincerely join the Yang family can stay, the rest of the stubborn ones, either kill or cripple them, and the mediocre ones can be discharged and sent back to farming."

Yang Zhan's loud voice echoed across the square, and no one dared to resist.

This is the power of a Qi Master.

Immediately, Elder Brother Yang Yun Chong and Second Brother Yang Hua Long led the soldiers to first surround the Chen family's leaders, making them water-tight, then began to accept the soldiers.

Among them, there was a rebellious soldier, perhaps a branch disciple of the Chen family, who struggled a bit. Yang Qi saw him, and with a snap of his fingers, a spiral Qi pill exploded, creating a hole in his head, and he died a violent death. All the soldiers became utterly obedient.

In no time, all the Chen family soldiers were disarmed, and each was escorted into the mansion. The Yang family soldiers, Yang Zhan, Yang Qi, and other experts surrounded the remaining members of the Chen family.

"Our Chen family has branches outside and an elder council. This matter will not end easily. Yang Zhan, if you really harm our family head today, be prepared for a full-scale war."

An elder of the Chen family shouted sternly.

"Nonsense, at this point, you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin!"

Yang Zhan's eyebrows shot up, and immediately over a dozen human-shaped true Qi flew out from his body, each shimmering like a ghost, directly pouncing on the Chen family elders.

These Chen family elders all activated their Qi Gong to resist, but once they encountered the human-shaped true Qi, it drilled into their bodies, causing their meridians to rupture and their Qi Sea to explode.

In an instant, their Qi Gong was completely nullified.

All their faces turned ashen, and they collapsed on the ground.

Yang Qi saw this scene and was moved.

He clearly saw the level of cultivation of a Qi Master. The strength of Yang Zhan's Qi Master was already beyond his, and the exquisite techniques of using Qi Gong were far beyond what he could match.

"Is this what a Qi Master is? Once one reaches the realm of a Qi Master, the quality of true Qi and the methods of operation undergo significant changes. It seems that the peak of the eighth level of Qi Gong and the realm of a Qi Master are completely different. I can kill experts at the peak of the eighth level, but I cannot deal with a Qi Master. I must make further progress."

Today, by killing so many experts of the Chen family, it would surely alarm Yan Gufeng. He would not be lenient with the Yang family. When the two families clash, the weaker side will be crushed like the Chen family today.

"Qi, lead the family army straight to the Chen family and raid them! Today, I will completely eliminate the Chen family from Yan Capital."

Yang Zhan, having nullified the Qi Gong of all the Chen family elders, issued the order directly.

"Yes, Father."

Yang Qi grabbed Chen Dali: "Since that's the case, I will take the head of the Chen family. Only Chen Dali knows the hidden locations of the Chen family's wealth. Go, all soldiers, mobilize."

Rustle, rustle...

Immediately, the entire private army of the Yang family, even the servants, rushed toward the Chen family. Raiding the family and exterminating the clan, now that the Chen family's elders have all been stripped of their martial arts, the clan is considered destroyed. Not raiding them would be a waste.

"Listen up, all the noble families in Yan Capital, this is a private grudge between the Yang family and the Chen family. No one should interfere. Any family that interferes or tries to take advantage of the situation will be killed without mercy!"

Yang Qi led the army in a mad dash, holding Chen Dali, and a thunderous roar echoed through the streets.

Immediately, vendors and commoners on the streets scattered, but some curious people in taverns and teahouses poked their heads out to watch the Yang family army gallop by.

"Family feuds are indeed bloody. This time, I wonder how many heads will roll." In a nine-story tavern, some patrons were discussing.

This is the "Four Seas Tavern" in Yan Capital.

It is a huge chamber of commerce on the continent, the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, which has branches in thousands of cities, operating wine and food that can replenish blood and Qi, with unique flavors of medicinal herbs and demon beasts, but the prices are also very high. Those who can afford to consume in this tavern are all wealthy people.

Among them, a table of young people, three men and two women, the men all handsome and graceful, and the women beautiful and noble.

This group was extremely eye-catching.

Even some lawless individuals secretly sized up the two women, seemingly preparing to act maliciously. However, those with keen eyes could see that this group was not to be trifled with, definitely from a major sect.

Moreover, in front of them were all fine wine and food, including the meat of the Dragon Pond Green Water Demon Beast, the four-clawed sea dragon's paw, and various Lingzhi wine and Ginseng King soup... A table would cost at least five to six thousand Qi Gathering Pills, which is the annual income of an ordinary small household.

"Junior Sister, such an event has occurred, the Yang family in Yan Capital has destroyed the Chen family and is now raiding them." A young man poured a cup of Lingzhi wine and slowly savored it. "We missed it, the clash between the Yang family and the Chen family. If we had known, we should have gone to watch."

"Did you see that anomaly just now? The Qi connecting to the clouds, someone has reached the realm of a Qi Master. I didn't expect a small noble family to produce a Qi Master-level expert. Look at that young man leading the raid, Yang Qi, he seems to have considerable power."

A woman pointed to Yang Qi passing by below the tavern.

"Hmph! A frog at the bottom of a well, ignorant of the vastness of the world." A man's face showed disdain. "Such a young man, I can kill a group of them alone. To us, the conflict between the Yang family and the Chen family is just a fight between two local tycoons, not worth mentioning. We are here to investigate the 81 cities in the south, and we have found that they are all stirring, starting to establish their own countries. It seems that the control of the Holy Ancestor Dynasty on the continent is gradually weakening, and the Warring States era is about to begin."

"Our Spring and Autumn Sect's opportunity has come. Historically, every time a dynasty is in turmoil, and the feudal lords rise, it is an opportunity for the sects to flourish. Now, there are already four academies on the continent, but the strength of our Spring and Autumn Sect is no less than these academies. This is the time for the Spring and Autumn Sect to become an academy." Another female disciple nodded.

"Should we take a share of this opportunity? The Chen family, though from a remote area, still has some treasures. Taking advantage of this opportunity, we can directly enter and loot everything before the Yang family's young man does."

A young man suggested.

"Good, the Chen family, no matter how poor, still has millions of wealth. Acquiring it will increase our wealth. In the Spring and Autumn Sect, we can use this wealth to win over many people."

"Alright, let's do it. Boss, settle the bill!"

The three men and two women threw a silver ticket for Qi Gathering Pills on the table and went downstairs.

"But what if we encounter Yang Qi?"

"Simple, if he dares to defy our Spring and Autumn Sect, kill him! The small Yang family, opposing the Spring and Autumn Sect, is like an egg hitting a stone."

At this moment, Yang Qi had already arrived at the gate of the Chen family.

The Chen family's mansion was very large, with high walls and a huge iron gate, making it impregnable. Now, the remaining experts in the Chen family, having learned of the family's defeat, had closed the gates and prepared archers on the walls. Numerous pigeons and eagles were flying out of the mansion, seemingly sending messages.

The Chen family, like the Yang family, had many branches and elders in secret places. Now, on the brink of destruction, they were about to call for reinforcements.

However, Yang Qi did not give them this chance. He held the Chen family head, Chen Dali, high and shouted, "Chen family, listen up! Your head is in my hands. If you don't come out and surrender, I will kill your head, break through the gate, and slaughter everyone inside, leaving no one alive."

"Spit!"

An angry voice came from inside: "The Chen family will not be destroyed by the Yang family. We have already notified the family elders, who will arrive in a few days. Your Yang family will be bloodied."

"Stubborn to the end."

Yang Qi stood in front, suddenly grabbing the air. In front of the Chen family mansion, a stone lion, several meters tall, was lifted by Qi Gong and then violently shaken.

Boom!

The stone lion, weighing tens of thousands of pounds, flew through the air like a comet, immediately smashing through the iron gate and collapsing a large section of the wall. Any defense was useless.

Kill!

Holding Chen Dali in one hand, Yang Qi led the private army and experts into the mansion, sweeping all resistance. Immediately, over a dozen experts who had reached the sixth level of Qi Gong were killed on the spot!

The hundreds of private soldiers and various servants inside scattered in a panic.

A few stubborn Chen family experts were also killed one by one. Within a short time, the Chen family mansion became a disorganized mess, with the cries and curses of family members and women echoing throughout.

"At the gate, strictly control entry and exit, detain everyone, and begin the raid!"

Yang Qi issued the order.
