Chapter 22: Kill Your Whole Family!

A Physical Body Eightfold warrior who has comprehended the method of spirit cultivation gradually converts Qi and blood into spirit; without several years of accumulation, it is difficult to ascend to the ninth tier.

But Chen Zheng's method of spirit cultivation is extraordinary, naturally incomparable to ordinary people.

Moreover, his whole body's Qi and blood are extremely abundant, continuously rising to the brain, and the speed at which they convert into spirit is rapid; breakthroughs thus come naturally and take only a very short time.

"Not bad, my power has reached ten horses. But the demonic aura on my body has also become heavier."

Chen Zheng's brow ridge rose.

Upon advancing to the ninth tier, he gains the ability of self‑inspection, with his internal organs, blood, flesh, and bones all vividly apparent.

He can clearly "see" that all one hundred and eight demonic hollows within his body are filled with demonic aura.

If a divine practitioner were to examine his body with magical power, they would instantly discover his cultivation of Demonic Cultivation.

That does not match his low‑key demeanor.

Fortunately, after his breakthrough, he underwent another metamorphosis, and the demonic aura subtly changed, no longer pitch‑black and heavy, but shifting toward a dark‑gold hue.

Even the blood in his vessels now carries a trace of dark gold.

Whenever Chen Zheng fully channels his power, his blood boils incessantly, like ten thousand horses galloping.

This transformation is terrifying.

According to the Nether King True Body records, once the entire flesh, blood, and bones turn into dark gold, his physique will undergo a cataclysmic change.

A frighteningly powerful change.

At that time, he will need no magical weapons or flying swords; his mere Physical Body will be able to rend the heavens, split the earth, and roar across mountains and rivers.

Moreover, he will have not a trace of demonic aura left; no matter who inspects him, he will be a perfectly upright adherent of the Correct Path.

"I believe that day is not far away."

…

Time passed like a white horse slipping through a crack; in the blink of an eye, two days had passed.

Chen Zheng and Chen Fu stood on the bow deck, gazing at Jin Jin Yu Dao Dao floating on the sea horizon ahead.

"Brother Zheng…"

The closer they got to Jin Jin Yu Dao Dao, the more complex Chen Fu's expression became, several times he wanted to speak but held back.

Chen Zheng knew what he was thinking and calmly said, "Don't worry, I won't slaughter the innocent; I will only eradicate Chen Mo's entire family."

The first time, Chen Mo sent Chen Fu Yi and his father to cause trouble, demanding that he kowtow to Chen Mo and admit his fault.

The second time, Chen Mo came in person, intending to capture Chen Zheng for punishment.

The third time, Chen Mo ordered Chen Yuan to assassinate Chen Zheng.

If not for his great strength, he would already be dead.

Each incident alone would be enough for Chen Mo to die a hundred times.

Chen Mo has only one life; if that's insufficient, he uses the lives of his relatives and subordinates to fill the gap.

"Only kill Chen Mo's entire family?"

Chen Fu's eyelid twitched.

His elder brother Chen Lie, his father Chen Xingye, his mother, and so on—aren't they all part of Chen Mo's family…

Chen Zheng wouldn't kill a red‑eyed man; would he even kill him?

"I will only kill Chen Mo's entire family; I recall he is already married, with a son and a daughter," Chen Zheng patted Chen Fu's shoulder, indicating he should relax.

The great weight in Chen Fu's heart finally settled.

But still uneasy, he pleaded, "Brother Zheng, could you spare my father?"

If Chen Zheng were to kill Chen Mo, he would inevitably clash with Chen Xingye.

Which father would stand idly by while his son is killed?

Likewise, Chen Mo would not stand by while his own father is slain by Chen Zheng.

"I agree to you."

Chen Zheng gave a light laugh, completely indifferent to Chen Xingye.

"Thank you, Brother Zheng!"

Chen Fu felt as if a heavy burden was lifted.

The ship docked.

Chen Zheng was the first to step off the ship, walking step by step toward the Family Head's mansion at the island's center.

Sunlight poured down, stretching his silhouette long. "A storm of blood and wind is about to rise…"

Chen Biao and the many Managers gazed from afar at Chen Zheng's receding silhouette, all sighing.

Jia Zhu Fu.

Inside the meeting hall there were two rows of seats, extending from the threshold to the back, like a magistrate's hall.

At this moment the seats were filled with people, many of whom were Physical Body Eightfold or Ninefold, all high‑ranking members of the Chen clan.

Eldest young master Chen Lie, second young master Chen Mo, were both present, each occupying the foremost seat of their respective side.

At the very front center of the meeting hall sat another person.

He was a middle‑aged man, draped in gold‑bordered embroidered cloud‑patterned brocade, his palms broad and solid; merely sitting there exuded a soul‑snatching aura that made everyone in the hall instinctively hold their breath.

This middle‑aged man was the Chen clan's sole Physical Body Tenfold powerhouse, the Family Head Chen Xingye.

He has actually emerged from seclusion.

Chen Xingye's gaze swept over everyone seated below; anyone who met his eyes lowered their heads, daring not to stare back.

This novel you…

He fixed his gaze on Chen Mo, who sat at the leftmost seat, and said calmly, "Mo'er, you are the chief overseer of the family's spirit fields; if problems arise you are responsible. First inform your uncles and elders of the matter."

"Yes, father."

Chen Mo hurriedly stood up, bowed to Chen Xingye, then looked at the people in the hall and said in a deep voice, "I have gathered you all today to discuss a matter; a major incident has arisen within the clan that concerns the entire Chen family's interests…"

"Family Head, something's wrong!"

Outside the meeting hall, a sudden urgent shout rang out, cutting off Chen Mo's next words.

A guard rushed into the reception hall, Thump!, and knelt on one knee.

"Do you want to die!"

The crowd furrowed their brows, and Chen Mo scolded loudly.

They were discussing important matters here, and this guard dares to barge in and disrupt—does he know any rules?

"What happened?" Chen Xingye, seated in the main seat, remained expressionless and asked.

The guard trembled and said, "Replying to Family Head, yes, someone broke into Jia Zhu Fu, attacks anyone they see, and even said they would kill the Second Young Master's entire family."

With those words, the hall fell silent for a brief moment.

Then everyone showed a look of astonishment.

"That's simply absurd!"

Chen Mo was already in a bad mood, and hearing the guard's words made his complexion even worse.

If Chen Xingye were not present, given his temper, he would have slapped the guard to death on the spot.

See what this man still dares to say?

Seeing the crowd's disbelief, Chen Mo fixed a cold stare on him, and the guard's heart raced; he hurried, "It's true, that person is…"

"Ah…"

A scream suddenly came from outside.

The crowd startled, followed the sound outward, and saw a young figure in blue robes, with a gentle demeanor, walking from afar toward the hall.

The newcomer was, of course, Chen Zheng.

"He's not dead?"

Chen Mo's pupils contracted sharply.

How did Chen Zheng return alive?

What about Chen Yuan?

Did he die?

How could this be possible?

"Chen Zheng, you petty collateral descendant, dare to trespass the family's sacred ground, collide with the Family Head, an unforgivable crime—kneel and confess…"

Chen Mo lowered his head; an elder in a grey robe rolled his eyes, sprang up, pointed at Chen Zheng's nose and barked coldly, intending to put a big hat on him before saying anything else.

His name is Chen Hao, very close to Chen Mo, and one of his staunch supporters in the struggle for the Family Head Position.

Swoosh!

Unfortunately, before Chen Hao could finish speaking, Chen Zheng, already at the threshold, flashed a cold gaze, wind rose at his feet, and he became a swift flash, leaping before Chen Hao.

Directly, a punch!

Bang!

A burst of sound.

Chen Hao's head exploded, and the headless corpse fell to the ground.

The clan's next chapter ends here; Chen Zheng is about to begin a new journey, everyone give Fang Qingxue a like!
