Xiao Chen's indifferent reply made Chen Muxue so angry that she laughed. "Fine, fine. You may be arrogant now, but I'd like to see if you can still be so arrogant when the elder of the Jue Mountain Sect arrives. I forgot to tell you that the Jue Mountain Sect has specially sent an elder to accompany you. This elder is now in the Lingshan Commandery Prince's residence …"
In order to destroy the Xiao Family, Chen Muxue had made thorough preparations. She had even asked Shen Ming to invite an elder of the Jue Mountain Sect to accompany them, just in case.
However, Chen Muxue did not know that the elder accompanying them was actually Shen Ming's grandfather, Shen Gaoyuan.
After killing Shen Ming, Xiao Chen's death was certain. Hearing Chen Muxue's words, everyone in the Xiao Family looked worried, especially Xiao Qing. He hurried to Xiao Chen's side and said to him, "Xiao Chen, hurry up and leave before the elder of the Jue Mountain Sect arrives …"
He wanted Xiao Chen to leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, when the elder of the Jue Mountain Sect arrived, he would not be able to leave.
He was anxious. However, just as Xiao Qing finished speaking, a cold voice came from outside the Xiao Family's gate. "Do you think you can leave?"
The voice was filled with coldness. Then, an old man with a head full of white hair walked into the Xiao Family's residence, followed closely by the Lingshan Commandery Prince.
The old man was naturally the elder of the Jue Mountain Sect, Shen Gaoyuan. The Lingshan Commandery Prince's name was Zhang Qiang. At this moment, he was following behind Shen Gaoyuan with a complicated expression.
They did not expect Shen Gaoyuan to arrive so quickly. Seeing Shen Gaoyuan appear, the Chen Family and the Ma Family greeted him respectfully. "Elder Shen …"
They were extremely polite to Shen Gaoyuan. They had no choice. He was an elder of the Jue Mountain Sect. Not to mention the three great families, even the Lingshan Commandery Prince's residence did not dare to offend him.
Shen Gaoyuan walked into the Xiao family's mansion with an arrogant expression. Originally, Shen Gaoyuan had only come here because too much time had passed. He had already lost his patience and wanted to personally see how things were progressing. He did not know that Shen Ming had been killed by Xiao Chen.
However, when Shen Gaoyuan saw Shen Ming's corpse, his body immediately froze on the spot. Without saying a word, he walked over to Shen Ming's corpse. His turbid eyes were filled with disbelief as he stared at his grandson's corpse. He remained silent for a long time. After a long while, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted from Shen Gaoyuan's body.
To be able to become an elder of the Jue Mountain Sect, Shen Gaoyuan's cultivation had already reached the Earth Clear Mirror Level. His cultivation was far superior to everyone present.
Shen Gaoyuan was furious. Shen Ming was Shen Gaoyuan's only relative. He had been by Shen Gaoyuan's side since he was young. Now that he saw Shen Ming being killed, how could Shen Gaoyuan not be angry?
"Who? Who killed Ming 'er? Who …" Shen Gaoyuan bellowed as he stared at Shen Ming's corpse.
Sensing Shen Gaoyuan's terrifying killing intent, the Lingshan Commandery Prince's expression was complicated. He did not know what to say. He knew that Shen Gaoyuan would definitely not let this matter rest.
Compared to Shen Gaoyuan's anger, everyone in the Xiao Family was ashen. Originally, Xiao Chen's appearance had brought them hope. However, Shen Gaoyuan's killing intent had pushed them to the bottom of the valley.
Shen Gaoyuan was an elder of the Jue Mountain Sect. He was one of the strongest people in the entire Lingshan Commandery. How could the Xiao Family withstand the anger of such a strong person?
"Chen 'er, listen to Father. Leave quickly. Where there's life, there's hope …"
Xiao Qing whispered to Xiao Chen. He had no intention of fighting Shen Gaoyuan head-on. The two of them were not on the same level. There was no way they could fight.
The only thing they could do now was to ensure that Xiao Chen left safely. However, just as Xiao Qing gestured for Xiao Chen to leave quickly, Chen Muxue spoke first.
"Elder Shen, Senior Brother was killed by Xiao Chen from the Xiao Family …"
Xiao Chen? Hearing Chen Muxue's words, Shen Gaoyuan was stunned. The True Dragon of the Xiao Family? He's back? The genius that the Jue Mountain Sect had been looking for and was prepared to make an exception to accept as a disciple. He's back after three years?
I didn't expect Xiao Chen to return at this time. But so what? He killed my grandson. Even if he's the king of heaven, he still has to die.
Without needing anyone to identify him, Shen Gaoyuan's gaze fell directly on Xiao Chen. The murderous intent in his eyes was like two sharp swords that pierced Xiao Chen.
Being stared at by Shen Gaoyuan, Xiao Chen didn't dodge. He didn't panic either. His expression was still calm.
Walking slowly to Shen Gaoyuan, Xiao Chen said indifferently. "I've already given him a chance. Unfortunately, he didn't take it …"
As if he was talking about an extremely ordinary matter, his expression was indifferent and his tone was calm. However, after hearing Xiao Chen's words, Shen Gaoyuan was completely enraged.
"Good, good, good. What a True Dragon of the Xiao Family. Don't tell me you think that you can do whatever you want just because you have some talent? Today, this old man will tell you that in front of me, your laughable talent is nothing more than a floating cloud. You killed Ming-er. I will make you suffer a fate worse than death … "
Xiao Chen didn't show the slightest fear. This once again ignited Shen Gaoyuan's anger. He had already decided that no matter how talented Xiao Chen was, he would kill him today.
His murderous intent was bursting. Witnessing the scene of Xiao Chen and Shen Gaoyuan staring at each other, and seeing Xiao Chen's calm gaze as usual, the people from the Chen Family and the Ma Family were puzzled.
Where did this guy get his confidence from? After all, the person in front of him wasn't a disciple of the Jue Mountain Sect, but an elder of the Jue Mountain Sect. An Earth Mirror powerhouse could shake the entire Lingshan Commandery with a stomp of his foot.
They didn't understand where Xiao Chen got his confidence from to face Shen Gaoyuan. Even though Xiao Chen's cultivation was now at the Beginning of the Yellow Realm, Shen Gaoyuan was a figure who had practiced for hundreds of years. A casual slap was enough to kill Xiao Chen.
Was he stupid? Was he naive? Or did he really have the confidence to contend with Shen Gaoyuan? Just as everyone was puzzled, outside the gate of the Xiao Family, several figures strode in.
There were a total of seven people, both men and women. They were about 20 years old, and each of them had an imposing appearance. The men were handsome, and the women were beautiful.
As soon as these seven young men and women entered the Xiao Family, they immediately attracted everyone's attention. It was not difficult to judge from the temperament of these seven young men that they were definitely not ordinary people. How could ordinary people have such temperament?
No one knew the identities of these seven people, nor did they know why they were here. But soon, the leader of the seven, a young man in a golden robe, saw Xiao Chen and quickly walked up to him with a smile.
"Junior Xiao Chen, I've finally found you …"
Since he was familiar with Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen also smiled at the young man in the golden robe. "Senior Mo, I haven't been home for three years."
"Yes, yes, yes. We know you're anxious. Hey, what happened?" The young man in the golden robe chatted with Xiao Chen very casually. Halfway through the conversation, he saw Shen Ming's body and asked Xiao Chen doubtfully what had happened.
"Nothing. I killed an inner disciple of the Jue Mountain Sect." Facing the young man in the golden robe, Xiao Chen replied casually.
Hearing Xiao Chen's answer, everyone looked at him with disdain. Who told you to be so pretentious? Let's see who can save you later. They all felt that Xiao Chen was a bit too arrogant. However, no one expected that after hearing Xiao Chen's words, the young man in the golden robe actually said without a care.
"An inner disciple of the Jue Mountain Sect. What's the big deal about killing him …"
