The sudden incident in the Chu Clan left everyone stunned, including Shen Mo.
With the Chu Clan's status in the Tongzhou Prefecture, who would dare to attack the Chu Clan so openly? Only the Shen Clan could do so. But now that he was in the Chu Clan, who could it be?
At this time, Chu Zongguang could not be bothered to punish Chu Xiu. He hurriedly led his men to the front courtyard.
But as soon as they arrived, a pungent smell of blood assaulted their nostrils. Some of the Chu Clan's women even screamed on the spot.
The entire Chu Clan's front courtyard was like a slaughterhouse. Dozens of the Chu Clan's servants and stewards' corpses lay on the ground. Some of them did not even have complete corpses.
In the middle of the corpses, there were three warriors with powerful auras. They were the three strange experts that Chu Xiu had met in the inn back then!
Among the three, the one with the whip mark on his face held a ferocious-looking ghost head blade, while the other two held long spears.
The moment he saw the three, Chu Zongguang's expression suddenly changed, as if he had seen a ghost.
The man with the whip mark on his face looked at Chu Zongguang and laughed sinisterly. "Zhang Zonghai! No, I should call you Chu Zongguang. You treacherous, shameless, and despicable person. You didn't expect this, did you? We are still alive, and we even found this place! For the past 20 years, we have searched all of Eastern Qi, but we could not find any trace of you. So when you joined the Dragon Rider Imperial Army, you used a fake name! "
"Dragon Rider Imperial Army!"
When these four words came out, everyone's expression changed. Shen Mo looked at Chu Zongguang in shock. "You are actually from the Dragon Rider Imperial Army!"
Chu Xiu's eyes were also filled with surprise. Clearly, he did not expect Chu Zongguang to have such a background.
The so-called Dragon Rider Imperial Army was an army under the Eastern Qi military, but it was the elite of the elite. Even the weakest among them had to have the strength of the Xiantian realm.
Although the Imperial Dragonriders belonged to the military in name, in reality, only the Eastern Qi royal family could command it. It was an elite force that took orders from the royal family.
As an elite of the Eastern Qi Royal Family, the Dragon Riders Forbidden Army was not something a small family head in Tongzhou Prefecture could compare to. Yet, more than 20 years ago, Chu Zongguang had left the Dragon Riders Forbidden Army and moved his entire family to Tongzhou Prefecture to be a local tyrant. What had happened in the process was very thought-provoking.
The man with the whip mark looked at the expressions of the others and revealed a trace of hatred as he said, "It seems like you don't know anything about Chu Zong Guang. Then I'll tell you today, what kind of person was the Chu Clan's Patriarch in the past!
My Dragonrider Imperial Army is made up of five people. Twenty years ago, when Chu Zongguang joined the Dragonrider Imperial Army, he was assigned to this group.
At that time, we received orders to cooperate with the experts of the Dragonrider Imperial Army to secretly infiltrate the Miao territory of Western Chu and seize a treasure for the second prince.
After those experts seized the treasure, they were responsible for delaying them while the dozen of us were responsible for taking the real or fake treasure and escaping, scattering the target.
It just so happened that our group obtained the real treasure. Just as we were desperately resisting the pursuers, that despicable and shameless Chu Zongguang actually took the treasure and escaped! "
The warrior with the whip mark on his face had a ferocious look on his face. He pointed at the whip mark on his face and said hatefully, "At that time, Big Brother led us to escape from the pursuers with great difficulty. But because we lost our treasures, we were almost killed by the Second Prince. The whip mark on my face was because of the Second Prince's anger! Big brother was a squad leader, but he suffered a full 100 strikes of the Green Dragon Whip and was beaten to death! Although the three of us were lucky enough to escape with our lives, we were also whipped several dozen times. We were seriously injured and our foundations were damaged. We can only stay at the Qi Controlling Internal Aura Realm for the rest of our lives! "
In the back, Chu Xiu let out a long sigh of relief. He finally understood why Chu Zongguang was acting strangely, and he also understood why the Chu Family had changed in the original plot.
Chu Zongguang was not weak. As a member of the Dragonrider Imperial Army, he was definitely stronger than other martial artists of the same level. This was also the reason why Chu Zongguang was able to easily establish himself in the Tong State capital.
However, in these past twenty years, Chu Zongguang had been studying the treasure he had stolen, neglecting his cultivation and even neglecting the management of the family. He had neglected everything.
No wonder Chu Zongguang didn't care about anything and closed himself up all day, wholeheartedly seeking stability.
For Chu Zongguang, nothing was more important than studying the treasure.
The martial artist with the whip mark on his face looked at Chu Zongguang and said coldly, "When you joined the Dragonrider Imperial Army, you were the weakest, and Big Brother took care of you the most. In the end, because of you, Big Brother died. After so many years, do you have a clear conscience?"
Chu Zongguang let out a long breath and said, "Every man for himself, heaven and earth destroy! Back then, that treasure was in my hands. It was a treasure that could allow people to reach the heavens in one step! If it were you, wouldn't you be tempted? "
The martial artist with the whip mark on his face sneered and said, "Good man for himself, heaven and earth destroy! Back then, you betrayed us, but do you know that we were able to find you smoothly this time because someone sent us a message? Only then did we know that you were using a fake name! "
"Who!?" Chu Zongguang's expression suddenly changed.
Chu Xiu walked out from the crowd and stood to the side, saying indifferently, "It was me."
Chu Zongguang's expression suddenly became incomparably ugly. He pointed at Chu Xiu and shouted, "Evil creature! Do you know what you have done!? Doing this will destroy the entire Chu Family! "
Chu Xiu said in a cold voice, "Father, you forced me to do this. I killed a servant of the Chen Family and you want to cripple my martial arts. Do you know what this means for a martial artist? A life worse than death! If I don't want to die, then the ones who will die can only be you. "
The martial artist with the whip mark on his face sneered and said, "Chu Zongguang, you also have this day! Back then you betrayed us, and now you have been betrayed by your own son. This is retribution! "
Chu Zongguang's eyes revealed a touch of ruthlessness, and he said in a deep voice, "You three, I was indeed in the wrong in that matter, but it's all in the past. I am willing to take out that treasure, and we can share it. Can you let me go this time?"
The man with the whip mark on his face sneered and said, "Let you go? I want to agree, but Big Brother in the underworld will not agree! "
With that said, the man opened a box behind him and took out a knife from it.
The knife's edge was transparent, and the blade was crimson. It was like a transparent glass with a crimson spine. It was magnificent and incomparably resplendent.
"This knife is called the Red Sleeve Knife. It is a treasure that we three brothers have collected for the Second Prince all these years, in order to obtain the Second Prince's forgiveness. If we kill you now and take back the treasure, not only can we clear Big Brother's name, but we can also regain our footing in the Dragon Riders Imperial Army. We will no longer be ridiculed by others! "
Shen Mo saw the killing intent in the eyes of the three people, and he quickly said, "You three, I am not a member of the Chu Family. If you want to kill me, then kill me. I will leave immediately!"
The martial artist with the whip mark on his face sneered and said, "Not a member of the Chu Family? Today, the Chu Family held a banquet to invite you, right? Those who are jackals of the same tribe as Chu Zongguang are not good people, they must die all the same! "
Shen Mo groaned in his heart. These three people were clearly angry because they had avenged their hatred of more than 20 years ago. No matter who it was, they were going to kill them.
Chu Xiu hurriedly said, "Three heroes, you saw my relationship with Chu Zongguang just now. Although I am his son, Chu Zongguang wants to cripple my martial arts. I hate him to the bone as much as he does! Moreover, I understand the situation of the Chu Family. In a moment, I will help you find all the treasures of the Chu Family. I hope the three of you will spare my life! "
The other two looked at the martial artist with the whip mark on his face. The martial artist thought for a moment and said, "Let this brat live for now. The Fourth Prince, you go and kill the rest of the Chu Family! Chu Zongguang killed Big Brother and cheated us for more than 20 years. Today, I will bury the entire Chu Family with him! "
As his voice fell, one of the martial artists directly rushed towards the Chu Family with a spear. Whether it was the servants of the Chu Family, the old, the weak, the women, or the children, they were all ruthlessly killed.
After holding back for more than 20 years, now that they had their revenge, they didn't care whether they were killing innocent people or not.
Chu Kai and the others forgot to resist. Previously, he had been gloating over the fact that Chu Xiu had been crippled. He had easily become the successor of the Chu Family. But now, he wished that he had never been a member of the Chu Family!
Seeing his clansmen and children killed, Chu Zongguang's eyes flashed with determination. To be honest, he had dreamed of this scene countless times.
He didn't care about betraying his brothers. With the treasure in his hands, he didn't even care about his own son, so why would he care about his brothers?
What Chu Zongguang really feared was the second prince of Eastern Qi, and the other Dragon Riders.
Back then, he took the supreme treasure and fled back to the Chu Clan in panic, directly bringing the Chu Clan's people to Wei Prefecture. What he feared the most was that the Dragonrider Imperial Army's people would catch up and capture him back to Qi, where he would be punished by the furious second prince.
In the end, after so many years, nothing had happened. He thought that the matter had passed, but in the end, he still couldn't avoid it.
Since he couldn't avoid it, he could only fight!
If the experts of the Dragon Riders Imperial Army came to kill him, Chu Zongguang wouldn't even have the thought of resisting. He might even choose to commit suicide. Otherwise, if he was captured, he would be in a situation worse than death.
But now, if there were only these three people, he still dared to fight.
