Chapter 221: Chen Family of Ze State
The car started and sped westward toward Yanjing.
From Yanjing to Jin City in Ze State, in fact, it only takes less than three hours.
It's not very far.
As soon as the car got on the highway, Fang Yu leaned his head and asked:
"At the coffee shop earlier, I didn't get the chance to ask you. Yesterday, you told me about the effects of Black Wood Lotus. It seems you know quite a lot about it?"
Chen Daotian yawned and said, "I wouldn't say I know a lot, just some. I heard that this thing can resurrect the dead, it's a miracle elixir, and it can also aid in cultivation, with particularly potent medicinal power. I heard from a friend in the martial arts world that it is obtained from some perilous places, constantly absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, the sun and the moon, and has ample Spiritual Energy."
Fang Yu slightly frowned, "Such a good place should have been flattened by humans long ago, right?"
With the continuous advancement of modern technology, whether it's mountains and rivers or the oceans, there are human footprints everywhere.
If such a valuable thing existed, it should have been discovered and harvested by now, how could it still be available?
But Chen Daotian shook his head, "You are wrong there. Despite the advancements in human technology, there are still many mysteries unresolved. There are too many places in the world that have not been explored by humans... Some say a white snow dragon has been seen soaring the skies of Changbai Mountain, others say they've seen a colorful phoenix deep within Kunlun. These mysterious, unexplained phenomena, science cannot explain."
Fang Yu rolled his eyes, "I think you've been reading too many novels."
"Hehe..."
Chen Daotian grinned cheekily, "Oh right, yesterday when I raided the Jin Family, I found some information about Blood-Melting Grass. I took photos of the information and sent it to your phone, take a look when you're free."
"Okay."
In fact, Fang Yu didn't care much about the Blood-Melting Grass, he just wanted to figure out where this stuff came from.
Too many miraculous things can't explain their origins.
How could such spiritual medicine like Black Wood Lotus possibly grow from normal soil?
...
...
Approaching noon.
Outside Chen Family Village, Jin City, Ze State.
Fang Yu looked around and exclaimed, "Your home is really impressive, the whole village shares the Chen surname."
What is called a village, in fact, the architectural structure is quite a bit better than a typical town.
This is the heritage of a Martial Arts Family.
Each family has clear roads, truly a fortunate household.
"Ai, compared to the Lu Family, it's just a small presence meeting a great one," Chen Daotian waved his hands repeatedly.
The two walked toward the center of the village.
Not long after they entered, voices came from not far away—
"Isn't that Chen Daotian?"
"Eh? It really is that kid, why has he come back? He's been gone for almost five years, right?"
"A piece of trash, and he still has the face to come back!"
"He's not just trash... he's a bastard borne of a wild woman, naturally, he's a bastard."
Nearby, three men and two women discussed loudly, seemingly deliberately so that Chen Daotian could hear.
Such words, no one could listen without getting angry.
Chen Daotian's anger surged.
Fang Yu stood with his hands behind his back, smiling, not stopping him.
"Chen Xia, Chen Zheng!"
The one standing at the forefront, Chen Xia, held quite a status among the younger generation of the Chen family. When they were little kids, the elders would often use them to compare with each other, and they frequently fought as they grew up.
Seeing Chen Daotian approaching furiously, Chen Xia couldn't help but jeer:
"Wow, getting angry, are you? Tsk tsk tsk..." Chen Xia said disdainfully.
Chen Daotian walked up to a distance of three meters from Chen Xia and said, "Kneel down and apologize!"
Hearing this, Chen Xia was stunned momentarily.
The other Chen family members behind him burst into laughter immediately.
"See, this bastard is asking me to kneel and apologize?"
"Hahaha... that's hilarious. You want me to apologize? Pah—"
"Look at you, I remember five years ago when you were twenty, you had only just started cultivating, right?"
When mentioned that he only started cultivating at the age of twenty, the two women behind covered their mouths and giggled.
For a Martial Artist, failing to start cultivation by the age of fifteen means being seen as a failure and struggling to achieve greatly in life.
Fang Yu was expelled by the Lu Family at the age of fifteen for this reason.
Chen Xia grinned showing teeth, "Forgot to tell you... I'm at the Middle Stage of Martial Arts Fifth Layer this year! And I'm two years younger than you!"
With these words, other Chen family members chimed in—
"Brother Chen Xia is amazing! You are the genius of our Chen family, the youngest talent in the history of the Chen family to reach the Fifth Layer of Martial Arts!"
"Chen Daotian! How about you kneel down and apologize? All Chen Xia did was speak a few hard truths, look at how desperate you are, dare to make a move?"
"This guy only started cultivation at twenty, he should have been driven away at fifteen! Shameless dog, what does he want from the Chen Family this time coming back?"
...
Such unpleasant words, in the past, Chen Daotian wouldn't have hesitated and would have killed them directly. But… this is the territory of the Chen Family. He was desperately trying to control his anger.
Meanwhile, he turned his head to look at Fang Yu.
Fang Yu nodded lightly and said indifferently, "People live for their pride, and trees live for their bark. As a wanderer, isn't it all about seeking swift vengeance? Go for it, as long as your Brother Yu stands, no one can do anything to you!"
These words instantly excited and energized Chen Daotian!
His fists clenched tightly.
His muscles tensed all over.
Huh!
He charged forward like a war chariot, rolling over everything in his path.
His fists punched towards Chen Xia, who was grinning.
Chen Xia's eyes widened as he shouted, "Seeking death!"
He raised his fists to meet the attack.
Boom!
Their fists collided!
Huh!
Chen Xia was sent flying back! Chen Daotian remained unmoved!
The other members of the Chen Family stood frozen in place, eyes widened, disbelievingly staring at Chen Daotian lying on the ground!
How...
How could this be?!
Chen Xia, at the Martial Arts Fifth Layer Middle Stage, was sent flying by Chen Daotian, this waste, with just one move?
Chen Zheng, Chen Xue, and three others swallowed hard.
They were a little scared now.
"Kneel down and apologize!" Chen Daotian reiterated.
"You—" Chen Zheng was a bit flustered but still said, "Chen Daotian, you dare!"
"What wouldn't I dare!?!"
As he spoke, Chen Daotian swung his fists again, regardless of gender—
Bang! Bang bang!
One punch each, simple and neat, directly smashing their noses.
"Ah!"
"Ah!"
Screams erupted continuously.
After the beating, Chen Daotian coldly watched them. Although these people were detestable, he did not go as far as killing them. These punches would be enough for them to feel pain for months.
Just at that moment—
At the end of the village, a group of people suddenly appeared, coming over majestically.
Leading them was a middle-aged man, his face stern, walking with hands behind his back.
When he saw Chen Xia and the others lying on the ground, he said in surprise and shock, "Chen Daotian?"
Chen Daotian looked back nonchalantly, saying, "It's me, Elder Chen has a good memory."
"Useless mud can't support a wall! No wonder the Sect Leader didn't acknowledge you!"
"I didn't want to be acknowledged either! If it weren't for my father, I would have ditched this 'Chen' surname long ago!" Chen Daotian really wanted to be like Fang Yu, a person with no relations to his past!
"You—" Elder Chen was infuriated, blowing his beard and glaring, but quickly suppressed his anger, "It's good you are back! I was about to send people to find you, now that you're here, come with me."
Behind him, five or six Chen family members stepped forward, their intent somewhat coercive.
"Find me?" Chen Daotian was startled.
"You know best what you've done, and today you must be taken to answer to the Lu Family!" Elder Chen said with a piercing gaze.
"What if I refuse?" Chen Daotian asked with a smile.
"You have no choice!"
Just then, Fang Yu, who had been silent, came over and patted Chen Daotian's shoulder, saying, "Elder Chen invites us for a sit-down, this is a good thing. It's the perfect chance to meet with the Sect Leader and settle everything."
Hearing this, Chen Daotian nodded and said, "Good!"
At the same time, his gaze fell on Chen Xia and the others on the ground, thinking, I'll settle accounts with you later!
