Who's against who?
That night, in the Shui Family's residence in West Wind City.
Shui Chongxian could not sit still as he paced back and forth in the hall. He would occasionally look out of the door and said, "It's already been a few days, why is there still no news? Could he have met with some danger?"
Not to mention that Shui Chongde was Shui Chongxian's younger brother, the people that were sent out were all secretly nurtured by the Shui Family. They had spent a lot of effort and every single one of them was a force to be reckoned with.
"With more than a hundred people, we will definitely be the first to know. In my opinion, it's very likely that Chu Xingyun suddenly came out of seclusion and disrupted the entire plan. He will naturally return after the storm passes." Shui Qianyue was very calm. With more than a hundred people, almost half of them were Spirit Gathering experts. How could they have met with any danger?
"Qianyue is right. With Chu Zhen's current strength, it's impossible for him to eliminate a hundred people without anyone knowing." A senior member of the Shui Family chimed in, making Shui Chongxian feel more at ease.
"Family Head, Family Head, Chu Xingyun is here!" At this moment, a servant in green hurriedly ran in. Perhaps because he was too flustered, he tripped and fell.
Everyone in the hall was taken aback. Chu Xingyun? What is he doing here?
"Other than Chu Xingyun, is there anyone else who came with him?" Shui Chongxian lowered his voice.
"There's another person. He seems to be an old man in a black robe. Other than that, there's no one else." The servant immediately replied. Shui Chongxian heaved a sigh of relief. There were only two people, it seemed that they were not here to denounce him.
"Let's go, let's go out and see what Chu Xingyun is up to." Shui Chongxian looked around, puffed out his chest, and was about to walk out of the door.
"I'm just a family head, how would I dare to cause trouble in the Shui Family?"
Just as he lifted his foot, a mocking voice sounded from outside the door.
Chu Xingyun and Yan Du walked in from outside the door. Every step they took was neither hurried nor slow, and there was even a hint of calmness on their faces as they walked over to Shui Chongxian and the others.
Shui Chongxian narrowed his eyes and stared coldly at Chu Xingyun. "You don't visit a temple without a cause. Chu Xingyun, what are you doing here?"
As he spoke, Shui Chongxian turned to look at Yan Du. He couldn't help but feel a little strange. This old man looked very familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before, but he just couldn't remember where.
Ever since he had obtained the Poison Swallowing Art, Yan Du had completely digested the Dejected Blood Poison. He could also freely withdraw and withdraw the poison in his body. The poison spots on his face had disappeared, so it was no wonder that Shui Chongxian and the others could not recognize him.
"Uncle Shui, you don't have to worry. I'm not here to cause trouble. I'm here to give you a gift," Chu Xingyun said with a smile. With a wave of his hand, a few heavy wooden boxes appeared in front of him.
When the wooden boxes were opened, Shui Chongxian's expression immediately stiffened. Everyone from the Shui family present, including Shui Qianyue, was dumbfounded. Their eyes were filled with shock.
Balls were placed inside the wooden boxes. These balls were all human heads. There were over a hundred of them, and the one in the center was Shui Chongde's head. His eyes were wide open, as if he had died with everlasting regret.
Chu Xingyun smiled as he looked at Shui Chongxian's pale face. His voice was cold and sinister. "How is it? Are you all satisfied with my generous gift?"
"Chu Xingyun, you're courting death!" Shui Chongxian roared furiously. His Wu Ling was released, and he turned into a ferocious lion. He opened his mouth and pounced at Chu Xingyun, wanting to kill him on the spot.
However, Yan Du also moved the moment he made his move.
A greyish-black light exploded and turned into a giant palm that slammed towards the ferocious lion. The two terrifying forces collided, causing a gust of wind that lifted up the ground.
Shui Chongxian retreated and returned to his original position. When he raised his hand, he found that his palm was greyish-black. There was a fishy smell coming from it that disturbed his spiritual energy.
"Yan Du, you're Yan Du." Shui Chongxian finally recognized Yan Du. The moment he spoke, everyone from the Shui family was shocked. This black-robed elder was actually Yan Du. Why was he with Chu Xingyun?
It was also at this moment that everyone from the Shui family understood. No wonder Shui Chongde and the others died in such a sullen manner. It was definitely Yan Du's doing. Only someone like him who was proficient in the Art of Poison could do this.
"If Uncle Shui doesn't like the gift I prepared, you can just reject it. Isn't it a little too unreasonable to attack without a word? If this matter spreads out, I'm afraid your Shui family will become a laughingstock." Chu Xingyun pretended to be deep, but his gaze was coldly looking at the ten boxes of heads.
Shui Chongxian's expression tightened. How could he not know what Chu Xingyun was hinting at?
This time, the Shui family had sent over a hundred people to slaughter Chu Zhen. In the end, all of them died. Not a single one was spared. Their heads were even chopped off and sent back to the Shui family.
This slap was too heavy, and it was almost beyond what Shui Chongxian could bear. If this matter spread out, the Shui family would not only become a laughingstock, but they would also become the public enemy of all forces. They would be ostracized endlessly.
"Chu Xingyun, how did my Shui family offend you? Why are you targeting us like this?!" Shui Qianyue walked out and angrily pointed at Chu Xingyun. When had the Shui family ever suffered such humiliation?
These hundred people were all experts nurtured by the Shui family. Now that they were all dead, the Shui family's strength was reduced by at least half!
Not long ago, the Shui family suffered a financial loss. Now that so many experts had died, it was simply adding fuel to the fire. Shui Qianyue couldn't wait to kill Chu Xingyun on the spot.
"You seem to have made a mistake, right?" Chu Xingyun sneered at Shui Qianyue, "From the beginning, it was your Shui family that was playing tricks, wanting to eradicate my Chu Family. Could it be that just because you sent people to slaughter Chu Zhen, my Chu Zhen should give up resisting and allow you to slaughter us as you wish?"
"Regardless of who is targeting who this time, if you include the conspiracy sixteen years ago, these people deserved to die. Because this is a debt of blood that your Shui family owes the Chu Family!" When Chu Xingyun spoke until here, the mouths of the Shui family's upper echelons were agape. The anger in their bodies dissipated, and they could see the shock in each other's eyes.
"Yan Du, we have already delivered the gift. Return to Chu Zhen." Chu Xingyun took in the expressions of these people and suppressed the anger in his heart. He turned around and strode out.
Yan Du followed closely behind. As he walked, he swept his eyes over Shui Chongxian and the others, preventing them from launching a sneak attack.
"That's right!"
Suddenly, Chu Xingyun's footsteps stopped. He turned around and looked at Shui Qianyue, "Soon, the Martial House selection will officially begin. The one year agreement between you and me should also come to an end."
After he finished speaking, Chu Xingyun's footsteps returned to normal. He left in a leisurely manner, just like when they had made the agreement.
