Chapter 89: 87. Leave None Behind (2/3)

87. Leave None Behind (2/3)

At this moment, many residents were standing on both sides of the alley outside the house.

After seeing the scene of Chen An and his family being taken away by the people from the Law Enforcement Hall, all the residents began to whisper.

Some looked calm.

Some were gloating.

But more were frowning, looking worried.

As neighbors, they all knew Chen An's character.

Three labels: careful, cautious, conservative.

Therefore, it was impossible for Chen An to risk refining Poison Pills for sale; this did not fit his character.

Conversely, they, as residents of the Bamboo Leaf Forest, were all too clear about the unreasonableness of the Bamboo Leaf Gang's Law Enforcement Hall.

Many times, if the Law Enforcement Hall said you were guilty, then you were guilty.

There was no need for evidence at all; they could convict you directly.

All the residents were worried: today the unlucky one was Chen An, but would they be the unlucky ones tomorrow?

After all, these were special times, and it was not strange for outrageous things to happen.

Chen An ignored the gazes cast by the residents on both sides of the alley, keeping his attention on the Bamboo Leaf Gang cultivators beside him, sensing the spirit pressure vaguely radiating from them to estimate their cultivation levels.

Except for the leader, Elder Zhao, who was a powerful figure with a cultivation level as high as Foundation Establishment First Layer, the remaining few were all experts at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer.

Their overall strength was very strong, enough to sweep through the entire Green Willow Alley.

However, that was in the past.

The current Chen An had absolute confidence that he could take care of Elder Zhao and the others by himself.

He had already prepared for the worst in his heart.

Once Elder Zhao did anything out of line to him and his wife and daughter, he would decisively strike back and kill them all, leaving none behind.

Very soon.

Led by Elder Zhao, the group walked out of Green Willow Alley.

From the originally wide road, they gradually walked into a deserted small woods.

Seeing this, Chen An became even more convinced of his inner suspicion: this Elder Zhao of the Bamboo Leaf Gang was likely going to do him harm.

Thus, he kept his senses fully open the entire time, his Golden Finger ready to go, having already prepared to make a move.

"Husband..."

Seeing Elder Zhao leading them further and further into a remote area, Song Huaying felt very uneasy, clutching Chen An's clothes tightly, her palms slightly sweating from nervousness.

Wen Zhiyun and Gu Xinyue, who were beside them, also felt uneasy in their hearts.

They were not stupid; they had already realized how dangerous their situation was.

Seeing that they had walked far enough into the remote area, Chen An stopped and did not move forward, saying in a calm voice: "Elder Zhao, I remember this is not the way to the Law Enforcement Hall. Why have we walked into this woods?"

The wives and concubines all knew their husband was about to show his hand.

They consciously hid behind him.

Hearing this, Elder Zhao and the several Deacons under his command all stopped.

Among them, Elder Zhao turned to look at Chen An, no longer pretending, and directly sneered as he showed his hand:

"Alchemist Chen, oh Alchemist Chen, I really didn't expect that you, with a cultivation of only a mere Qi Refining Fourth Layer, would dare to approach the Gang Leader's fiancée?"

"Is it just because you are a Second-tier Alchemist?"

"Having three wives and concubines at home isn't enough, you still go out to hook up with women, and you even hooked up with the Gang Leader's fiancée—you are truly seeking your own death!"

As he spoke, Elder Zhao looked longingly at the pregnant Wen Zhiyun, asking with an eager smile: "Fellow Daoist Wen, do you want to save your husband?"

Wen Zhiyun did not make a sound.

Elder Zhao continued: "Please me. Kneel down now and crawl to me to please me, and I might consider sparing your husband."

Wen Zhiyun still did not make a sound; she believed Chen An could protect her well.

Elder Zhao laughed, turning to look at Chen An with a playful expression: "Alchemist Chen, aren't you going to persuade this concubine of yours surnamed Wen?"

While channeling the Spirit Power in his body to his fingertips, Chen An said expressionlessly: "Elder Zhao, what will happen if I don't persuade her?"

"What will happen?"

Elder Zhao smiled and said: "Actually, nothing much will happen. At most, I will kill you, and afterwards forcibly take your wives and concubines. I will take all three of your wives and concubines, and I will even take your daughter—I will take them right in front of your grave!"

"Is that so..."

Chen An nodded.

The next instant, without even using the Sleep Aid Technique, he moved his thought to condense a Light Sword at his fingertip and charged at Elder Zhao with an Instant Step.

"You..."

"Swish!"

Elder Zhao was shocked by Chen An's speed. Just as he wanted to say something, before he could, he saw a golden sword glow flash before his eyes, and a searing pain came from his neck.

Then, a "thud" sound was heard.

Elder Zhao's head slid from his neck and hit the ground heavily, blood splattering everywhere.

The several Deacons behind had not yet reacted to what was happening when they also felt a searing pain in their necks, and then they all followed in Elder Zhao's footsteps, instantly separated from their heads, their heads falling to the ground.

A powerful figure of Foundation Establishment First Layer.

Four experts of Qi Refining Ninth Layer.

In just a fleeting moment, they all died under Chen An's Light Sword.

Separated from their heads, their lives and cultivation ended.

"Husband..."

Wen Zhiyun widened her beautiful eyes, her face full of disbelief, thinking she was hallucinating.

Her own husband had actually beheaded an Elder of the Bamboo Leaf Gang's Law Enforcement Hall, along with several Deacons of the Law Enforcement Hall, in the blink of an eye with a single sword strike?

This... what on earth is going on?!

Wen Zhiyun looked as if she were doubting her own life.

She could no longer remember how many times she had doubted her life like this.

"Thump!"

Looking at the overly bloody scene before her, Song Huaying suddenly felt her legs go weak, and she instantly collapsed onto the ground.

Chen Yuejian, whom she was holding in her arms, was jolted awake by the movement.

Upon seeing the scene before her, Chen Yuejian was immediately so frightened that she opened her mouth and wailed.

Seeing this, Chen An immediately cast a Sleep Aid Technique on her, instantly making her fall into a quiet sleep.

"Ying, this is not the first time, but the second."

"Do not let your legs go weak every time you see blood."

"Your husband hopes you can be a bit stronger and not hold me back over such trivial matters."

Chen An's voice was calm, and after speaking, he looked at Wen Zhiyun and Gu Xinyue and said, "Zhiyun, Yue, come over quickly and help me loot the corpses, then we shall leave this place immediately."

"I understand, Husband."

"Husband, I will come help you."

Wen Zhiyun and Gu Xinyue said this as they stepped forward quickly and crouched down to loot the corpses, showing not a hint of fear toward the blood-soaked ground before them.

Song Huaying sat blankly on the ground, watching her husband and two sisters looting the corpses ahead, and her eyes immediately welled up with tears of grievance.

Soon, she reached out to wipe away her tears, stood up to gently place her daughter under a tree, leaning her against the trunk to sleep, and then, enduring both physical and psychological discomfort, she stepped forward without a word to join in looting the corpses.

She did not want to hold her husband back.
