Chapter 216: After Today, There Will Be No More Gong Family in Great Xia!

"That Chen Yan actually..."

Inside a room at the Gong Family.

Sweat seeped from Gong Hangwen's forehead, and there was still a trace of Scream in his eyes.

He had naturally heard about the matter of Chen Yan, and he had been frightened.

"Look at your lack of spirit!"

To the side, Gong Wu let out a low shout:

"That Chen Yan is not joining the Chen Family Main Lineage; he will follow Shen Yiwei to the Wasteland Market. Joining the Chen Family Main Lineage, he will still be a partner in the future.

What exactly are you worried about?"

Gong Hangwen nodded and wiped away his sweat, feeling immense regret in his heart for not having established a good relationship with Chen Yan back then.

"If he doesn't join the Chen Family Main Lineage, will he take action against us?" Gong Hangwen asked.

"Hmph."

Gong Wu narrowed his eyes:

"It is normal for young people to be hot-blooded, but after the age of twenty, once they recognize reality, it makes no sense to continue acting foolishly.

Shen Yiwei is very formidable, isn't he? Hasn't he still been obediently suppressed by my Gong Family for so long?"

Gong Wu lit a Cigarette and narrowed his eyes:

"Chen Yan didn't say he wouldn't join the Chen Family Main Lineage; the person he beat was just a person from Chen Zhou, not surnamed Chen.

Once Chen Yan defeats that woman, that person from the Chen Family Main Lineage will recruit him even more vigorously."

Gong Wu pondered.

One could tell from this Appointment Letter for Shen Yiwei that the Great Xia Imperial Family had clearly already abandoned Shen Yiwei.

Great Xia would no longer give more resources to the Heavenly Pride under Shen Yiwei, and Chen Yan was naturally included in that.

In all likelihood, Chen Yan would still submit to the Chen Family Main Lineage.

Thinking of this, Gong Wu looked at Gong Hangwen and nodded slightly.

Gong Hangwen's expression froze, and he nodded.

Afterwards, Gong Hangwen walked out of the room and strolled through the massive Tingyuan in the air.

His figure was extremely fast, stirring the Yun Xu.

He went all the way to a detached high-rise building, walked into a room on the first floor, opened the door leading to the Underground Room, and walked in.

He went deep inside, arrived before a room, and pushed the door open to enter.

Yet he saw that while this room looked very ordinary from the outside, inside there were only ten Iron Prison cages lined up side by side.

Inside the room, it was filled with an intertwined stench, extremely foul.

Inside the Iron Prison cages, twisted and limp bodies lay within filthy excrement.

Their expressions were numb, and the moment they saw Gong Hangwen arrive, their entire bodies began to tremble.

Only the Iron Prison cage furthest inside was relatively clean, but the figure in White Clothes sitting cross-legged within it erupted in Rage the moment they saw Gong Hangwen arrive:

"Gong Hangwen, let me out, Gong Hangwen!!!"

Chu Xuansheng's eyes were Crimson; he had not expected to receive such treatment.

Gong Hangwen reached out one hand, fanned away the stench at his Nose with disgust, and looked at Chu Xuansheng with Indifference:

"Your Chu Family has received favors from my Gong Family for so many years, yet the result leaves me with extreme Disappointment."

He opened the cage holding Chu Xuansheng, his Mu Jin cold:

"What you owe, even a hundred of you could not repay."

"You..." Chu Xuansheng's Mu Jin shrank.

With a *swish*, a sharp blade pierced out from Gong Hangwen's sleeve, penetrating Chu Xuansheng's Neck, and blood flowed out from Chu Xuansheng's Neck in a gurgle.

Clutching his Neck, his Eyeball widened, and he fell down with extreme hatred.

Immediately following, two figures wearing a Mask walked out and hurriedly dragged Chu Xuansheng's legs to leave the room.

"Hurry up, while he isn't completely dead, send him over quickly," Gong Hangwen shouted coldly.

Those two Masked Man did not speak and silently dragged Chu Xuansheng away.

Their Tongue had long since been cut out and their eardrums pierced; they were merely tools.

Gong Hangwen shook his head, his eyes filled with extreme Shade:

"Chen Yan!"

It was his first time coming here, and he found it hard to endure the stench of this place.

If it weren't for Chen Yan's slaughter at the Gong Family last time, causing many Gong Family Guards to leave.

It wouldn't have come to the point where he had to come in person to kill a Chu Xuansheng.

He straightened his collar and returned to a state of gentle refinement.

He walked along the deep Corridor.

*Tap, tap, tap. *

The crisp sound of footsteps was like the low moan of a ghost coming for one's Fate.

Inside a house.

A small boy, Xiaonan Hai, huddled in a filthy cabinet, covered his Mouth, not daring to breathe, his eyes filled with abnormal fear.

Once the sound of footsteps Disappear.

The Male Student named Zhuang Ang finally let out a sigh of relief and looked through the crack in the cabinet at the little girl in the Iron Prison cage opposite.

"Don't be afraid."

The little girl, whose face was covered in mud, said Laughing.

"I'm not afraid!"

Separated by the cabinet door and the iron cage, Zhuang Ang nodded earnestly at the Little Girl, breathing deeply of the foul-smelling air all around:

"I feel a power flowing within my body, I really..."

He was somewhat dazed, but soon became firm; he had truly felt that power before:

"I really can take you out of here."

Inside the iron cage, the Little Girl's pair of jewel-clear pupils smiled.

"I believe in you."

"I believe in you the most."

…………

Time passed slowly.

Two days later, Chen Yan finished his Closed-door Training.

He walked along the streets of the Military Guard, and the Military Officer passing by all revealed a Smile upon seeing Chen Yan, though a trace of complexity flashed in the eyes of many.

"Siwen Jie."

Chen Yan arrived at Si Wenyi's Office:

"Is there any news regarding the portraits I drew for you before?"

Through Martial Dao Mieshao, Chen Yan had seen the room where the Xiaonan Hai was located and had long since drawn several portraits of the people in that room to give to Si Wenyi.

"No." Si Wenyi shook her head, but the next moment, her tone shifted:

"However, the investigation has revealed that Seven Sons Shadows are from Yixian City, four are from the Wasteland Market, and nine are..."

As Si Wenyi spoke, it was difficult to judge anything based solely on the origins of these people.

"I understand."

Chen Yan spoke, and seeing Si Wenyi at her desk with a complex expression, he said:

"Siwen Jie, what's wrong?"

Si Wenyi brushed back her hair and spoke gently:

"Shen Yiwei needs to go to the Wasteland Market, but the progress of the work coordinating with the Wasteland Market hasn't even reached twenty percent yet."

She just looked at Chen Yan like that, wanting to speak but hesitating.

Chen Yan's strength was very great, already so great that she could only look up to him.

Yet, when this youth, both strange and familiar, came before her again, she still couldn't help but voice the worries in her heart.

Chen Yan's expression cleared slightly as he looked at the clearly exhausted Si Wenyi:

"Siwen Jie."

"Huh?" Si Wenyi's red Mouth parted.

Chen Yan smiled gently:

"Nothing will happen."

Si Wenyi was somewhat stunned, but Chen Yan continued:

"Nothing will happen."

The youth's smile was like the bright sun, then his smile gradually faded, becoming as calm as a clear Lake.

Si Wenyi wanted to say something, but Chen Yan had already left.

Just as Chen Yan walked out of the Office, he saw Shen Youning hurrying over, who looked at Chen Yan with a rather complex expression and said:

"Chen Yan, I have something I want to ask of you."

"Is it to ask me to persuade the Vice Chief Shen?" Chen Yan asked.

"Yes." Shen Youning nodded:

"My Uncle doesn't listen to anyone, but I can tell that he admires you the most, so..."

Shen Youning spoke, but then she was Stun.

She hadn't even said what the matter was yet; how did Chen Yan know?

Hadn't Chen Yan been in Closed-door Training for these past few days?

Yet she saw the youth reply:

"Don't worry."

Shen Youning was startled, her red Mouth parted slightly, and then her Mu Guang froze instantly.

For she saw that the body of Chen Yan before her was actually beginning to dissipate rapidly, and finally, it Disappear completely.

This is...

What kind of speed?

Shen Youning hurriedly looked around, but she discovered nothing at all.

…………

That night.

Inside the dark room, it was extremely foul-smelling.

Hiding in the cabinet, Zhuang Ang covered his Mouth and, through the cracks in the cabinet, saw a scene he could not accept.

The iron cage opened, and the foul-smelling Little Girl was dragged along the ground by the Masked Man and taken away.

The Little Girl's face rubbed against the filth on the ground, yet her pair of pupils were incomparably clear.

Zhuang Ang's whole body trembled; he had Hundred Million thoughts of wanting to rush out.

He wanted to take back that Little Girl, he wanted to open the cabinet door, he wanted to stretch out his Finger.

His body trembled unceasingly; he was struggling with all his might.

Endless struggle appeared in the eyes of Xiaonan Hai, filled with bloodshot veins.

He extended his hand with extreme difficulty, intending to push open the cabinet door.

He knew that once he pushed it open, he would die.

Until the very moment his finger was about to touch the cabinet door.

"You all must live on well."

The lively voice of the Little Girl was like a ray of light in the endless Darkness that shattered everything.

"You must live on."

She said, Laughing.

Zhuang Ang was Stun, his body stiff, and an overwhelming sorrow surged through his Brain.

With a clatter, the room door shut tight.

Zhuang Ang pushed open the cabinet door with immense difficulty, and he stared blankly at the iron cage that had originally held the Little Girl.

Inside it, there was still a steamed bun soaked in foul water, placed at the edge of the iron cage.

Zhuang Ang just watched it like this.

A force seemed to be growing, collapsing, growing, and collapsing in the Depth of his Brain.

He slowly raised his hand and picked up that steamed bun.

He chewed with a large Mouth, chewing with force.

Inside the room, the others in the iron cage swept a numb glance at him, and no one made a sound.

It was also at this moment.

Clang!

The originally tightly shut door suddenly opened.

The Masked Man who had taken away the Little Girl rushed in hurriedly.

Zhuang Ang's breathing was rapid, and his Frost Mo became bloodshot in an instant.

Yet he saw the Masked Man walk over quickly, kicking up a powerful wave of air, and just like that, he Appeared before Zhuang Ang.

A terrifying martial artist's pressure descended.

He did not know what kind of terrifying eyes were behind the Mask, looking at Zhuang Ang.

It was also at this moment.

The Masked Man suddenly pulled a piece of White Paper from his bosom and began to write.

Following that, he displayed it.

【You hurry and hide in the cabinet.】

Zhuang Ang was Stun.

Yet he saw the Masked Man write again.

【Hurry up!】

He continued to write.

【Only by hiding inside can you live on!】

Zhuang Ang opened his Mouth wide.

Upon seeing this line of text

The thing that had long since Disappear in his heart once again began to Float.

Hope!

So, there were good people among these people too.

Thinking this way, the Little Girl might not necessarily die.

That's right, she must not be dead yet.

Zhuang Ang was almost Laughing out loud.

But the next moment.

That person wrote again.

【I made a bet with someone else; I bet you could live for four months. If you die now, I will lose a lot of money.】

Zhuang Ang was Stun, and the world he had just shaped suddenly shattered at this moment.

His body trembled, and his gaze shifted.

Finally, he saw behind the other person, the Little Girl lying in the corridor... with her Neck twisted.

What remained on the Little Girl's face was endless terror.

Zhuang Ang watched this scene with a stiff body, and his heart stopped.

His breathing stopped.

Even his anger became stuck in his throat.

Either complete despair, or using every last bit of everything to truly live in a certain moment.

He trembled, in despair.

His thoughts became manic in this instant, then quickly calm, then manic again.

Only, it seemed as if some sound was ringing in his ears.

Making it hard for her to distinguish.

It was a grand, whispering sound.

"Stand up."

………………

Shen Yiwei walked out of the Martial Officer Guard.

He took a rather complicated look at the place where he had stayed for a full four years, then slowly shook his head and stepped into the void.

"I don't know why, but I always feel a strange power is summoning me."

He whispered, looking at his palm.

Immediately after, a figure suddenly appeared before him.

Xia Chiyi.

The woman with short hair cut to her eyebrows was about to say something.

"Xia Chiyi, don't let me feel Disappointment again." Shen Yiwei spoke.

A trace of loss appeared in Xia Chiyi's eyes, but she immediately stepped aside.

Shen Yiwei nodded and continued forward.

Until a certain moment, he stopped his pace again, feeling somewhat surprised.

"Chi Lao, are you here to persuade me too?" Shen Yiwei was astonished.

"What you do is none of my business!" Chi Lao cursed lowly:

"Why hasn't Chen Yan come to find me during this time?"

Shen Yiwei was speechless:

"You can go find him."

"Me find him?" Chi Lao's tone rose: "Not finding him."

Shen Yiwei couldn't be bothered to pay attention to Chi Lao and continued walking forward.

"Shen Yiwei, have you ever thought that what you are doing now is exactly what Zhang Ting wants you to do? Once you leave the Town Martial Guard,

this so-called Acting Chief will have absolutely no obstacles left in the Qinzhou Town Martial Guard."

Chi Lao's voice sounded again.

"I know." Shen Yiwei spoke, his figure disappearing above the Yun Tian.

Chi Lao pursed his Mouth and sighed softly:

"It's hard on him, enduring for so long, he can't endure it anymore."

…………

Eternal Night.

Beasts cried in the Shanlin, and the Lake reflected the Moon.

Another person appeared in front of Shen Yiwei.

Lv Xinyuan, the man who had been demoted to Yunmeng City to serve as Chief.

"Shen Yiwei..."

Lv Xinyuan's expression was complicated:

"Endure a little longer, when Chief Lu returns, everything will be fine."

Shen Yiwei said nothing and brushed past him directly.

Lv Xinyuan suddenly shouted in a low voice:

"Shen Yiwei, why won't you listen? Look at me, I've been scolded to pieces by people, am I not still enduring?

The Xunyang Faction, including you, all think I'm trash, but if I don't do this, if others were in my position, they would only do worse!!!"

Shen Yiwei's body stiffened, and he suddenly sighed softly:

"You've worked hard."

Then he turned and left.

Lv Xinyuan's body stiffened in place; he opened his Mouth, looking at Shen Yiwei's back, with incomparable pain appearing in his eyes.

"Why, why is it like this?"

…………

"Why?"

Shen Yiwei looked at the figure on the Lake with extremely complicated Mu Jin.

The moonlight was like silk, and the Lake was just like a deep Mirror, quietly receiving that bright Silver Color.

A light Wind Element suddenly rose, blowing ripples across the quiet Lake, blowing ripples across the Black Clothes of the Youth standing at the Lake Heart.

"Why?" Complication appeared in Shen Yiwei's eyes, to the point of helplessness, and in the end, there was even some Disappointment.

"Why would you come to stop me? You and I are clearly the same kind of person. If others don't understand, could it be that you don't understand either?"

Shen Yiwei sighed softly.

That black shadow in the center of the Lake was alone under the bright Moon, in a set of Black Clothes, and wearing a White Mask.

This person was Bing Yi.

And also Chen Yan.

Chen Yan slowly looked at Shen Yiwei, his thoughts constantly shuttling between the present world and the Po Saint Realm.

Above that Martial Dao Mieshao, the light belonging to Zhuang Ang was about to go out.

On that lakeshore, Shen Yiwei was struggling so much at this moment.

"So, why would you think I want to stop you all?"

Chen Yan murmured, and Shen Yiwei on the lakeshore clearly hadn't reacted yet.

It was just that the Youth seemed to be whispering to himself.

"I have made a very grand wish, but while this wish was simple to make, it is as difficult as ascending to Heaven to carry out."

"Should I retreat?"

Chen Yan asked himself:

"But I clearly know that this world..."

Wisps of Ice Flame flowed from his body, and the Cold Intent that spilled out quietly permeated the surroundings.

"Is waiting for me."

Clang...

The lake beneath Chen Yan's Foot rapidly froze, and the bone-chilling Cold Intent completely enveloped the Lake Surface for several thousand Rice in every direction.

By the lakeside, Lao Shen's head was clearly twisted at a sharp Horn, and his Mu Jin was becoming exaggerated and astonished.

"Lao Shen, you had better wait for me below; I will return immediately after I finish handling things."

Chen Yan opened his Mouth, his voice frigid, carrying an air of irresistibility.

"Hm?" Lao Shen's breathing trembled.

But then he saw.

Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang!!!

The ice shattered!

The Wind Element stalled!

The thousands of Rice of frozen Ice Surface shattered with a boom at this moment, and surges of surging, icy might spilled out from the fractured Lake Surface.

Lao Shen's Mu Guang suddenly shrank.

Roar!

A dragon's roar that shook Heaven and earth suddenly shattered the night.

Suddenly, the Bing Liang on the Lake Surface exploded!

Ice shards splattered everywhere, like dancing jade flowers!

Deep in the depths of Lao Shen's dazed Mu Guang, an Ice Dragon broke out of the Lake!

Its momentum was magnificent!

The Black-Clothed Man wearing a Mask stood atop the Ice Dragon's Crown, hands behind his back, as he soared straight into the sky with the giant dragon.

Boom, boom, boom!

The SoulRefining was monstrous!

Under the boundless Silver Moon light, this huge Ice Dragon was winding and majestic, with waterfall-like Ice Crystal falling from the dragon's body, reflecting the Moon light.

The two Dragon Eyes, condensed from Ice Crystal, instantly bloomed with a terrifying killing intent that could swallow everything, descending in an instant upon that Cloud Mid Courtyard.

The frigid Cold Intent pressed down, and everyone within the Gong Family looked with extreme horror at the giant Ice Dragon staring down at them.

Upon it, the Black-Clothed Man spoke indifferently.

"After today, there will be no more Gong Family in the Great Xia!"
