Chapter 1914: Wiping Away with a Wave of the Hand

The Talismans in mid-air slowly faded away, and only then did these people collapse onto the ground, gasping for air violently; the expressions on their faces were ones of terror, the look of those who had just survived a disaster.

Almost at the same time, the remaining few Elders, including Lao Shilaike, all had a mysterious Talisman float up upon their bodies.

These Talismans floated above everyone's foreheads, radiating killing intent, locking onto the few people firmly.

A trace of terror appeared on everyone's faces; their spines turned cold, and they felt their scalps go numb. For the first time in their lives, they experienced what it felt like to be locked onto by the Grim Reaper.

"It's... Mr. Chen. Grandfather, Elders, you all should quickly admit defeat, otherwise..." Qiongsi was so scared his face turned pale, even though he did not know where these inexplicable Talismans had come from.

But he knew this must have something to do with Chen Yu; if these elders of his did not bow their heads and admit defeat, then the Second Elder would share their fate.

Thump... The first to kneel on the ground was Lao Shilaike. He muttered, "Mr. Chen, it was my fault just now. Please give me a chance. We guarantee that we will listen to you in the future."

No sooner had Lao Shilaike finished speaking than the Talisman hanging above his head slowly disappeared, and at the same time, the aura that had locked onto his figure vanished in this instant.

Lao Shilaike raised his head in terror and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Everyone, you... should also quickly admit your mistakes. We are no match for him." Lao Shilaike steadied his nerves.

Looking at the Elders who still wore panicked expressions, he could only say these words with a bitter look.

The remaining people looked at each other, then they knelt on the ground with a thump and began to beg for mercy. After they finished begging, the Talismans hanging above their foreheads indeed disappeared without a trace.

Only then did large groups of bodyguards rush in, but they were helpless against this, because if Chen Yu wanted their lives, he could completely erase them from this world with just a single thought.

So even if there were more bodyguards, there was no way to protect them; this was the power of a High-level Dharma Cultivator.

"Grandfather, are you alright?" Qiongsi finally raised his head, looking at the terrified Lao Shilaike, and asked with concern.

"No... nothing. Terrifying, it really is too terrifying." Lao Shilaike said with lingering fear: "If this Mr. Chen wanted our lives, it would be a matter of just a single thought."

"He only needs one thought, without needing to move a hand, to erase us from this world. This kind of power is his own power, without borrowing any weapons or technology."

"Head of Family... it seems our Shilaike Family needs to properly plan our future development." One of the Elders said: "The death of the Second Elder is enough to serve as a warning to us."

"Indeed, the Second Elder died because of his arrogance. If our family wants long-term, stable development, we can only rely on the strong, and Chen Yu is the strong." Another Elder said.

Lao Shilaike nodded in deep agreement and said: "We will immediately convene a meeting to vote on our future development. This world is always changing, so we must also make changes at the right time, otherwise, what awaits us is a dead end."

"Correct, the reason our Shilaike Family has been able to stand tall is not because we are how excellent, but because we have always been more sensible than others." An Elder said: "The strength Mr. Chen displayed far exceeds our imagination and our cognition, so we must be cautious."

"Qiongsi." Lao Shilaike turned his head with a grave expression to look at his grandson.

"Lao Shilaike, I am here." Qiongsi turned back.

"Go find Mr. Chen now and sound him out. We will discuss the subsequent matters. Remember, your attitude must be respectful." Lao Shilaike instructed.

"Alright, Lao Shilaike, I understand." Qiongsi nodded heavily and turned to leave.

Lao Shilaike called people over to clean up the remains of the Second Elder, and then went to attend the meeting.

Chen Yu arrived at his residence, and Moli served Chen Yu a cup of tea.

"Pre-Qingming Long Jing; to be able to drink such tea in Yizhou is truly quite rare." Chen Yu took a small sip of the tea, the fragrance filling his nose, and he could not help but nod slightly, expressing his satisfaction with the tea.

"I asked a friend to get this before I came to Yizhou. If Mr. Chen likes it, I have plenty more here." Moli smiled.

"No need, I am not a refined person." Chen Yu shook his head: "Such good tea is truly wasted in my hands."

"If Mr. Chen is not a refined person, then there are no refined people here in the Shilaike Family." Moli said: "They do not understand the tea ceremony, so even the best tea, in their eyes, is not to their taste."

"Haha, is that so? The Shilaike Family are nobles after all. In my impression, they are a group of people who are well-versed in both ancient and modern knowledge; they shouldn't be ignorant of the tea ceremony." Chen Yu laughed heartily.

"In fact, they really don't understand. What they understand is only that set of ways of the nobles in the Western World. They are very arrogant and also very proud."

"So they disdain to understand some of the heritage of Huaxia. This group of arrogant people are stuck in their old ways; they have no idea how great the changes in this world are." Moli said.

"You are a member of the Shilaike Family; is it really okay to talk about your employer like this?" Chen Yu looked at Moli sideways.

"Even if I am a member of their family, I still insist on my own opinions." Moli shook her head: "I serve them, but that is only selling my labor, not selling my thoughts."

"It is fine if you say this to me, but this is no peaceful paradise away from the world. On the contrary, their disputes are more serious than you imagine."

Chen Yu shook his head, took a sip of tea, and said: "If outsiders heard these words of yours, you should know what the consequences would be."

"Of course I know." Moli smiled slightly and said: "I have no guard against Mr. Chen; I have opened my heart completely."

"Why?" Chen Yu glanced at her; he felt that this woman still had not given up.

"Because Mr. Chen is worthy of my trust; we are compatriots." Moli said.

"Don't say that. In a place like this, the people who stab you in the back are often these so-called compatriots." Chen Yu shook his head slightly: "Remember one thing: even if it is someone you trust, you must still have a shred of caution, understand?"

"I... understand." Moli nodded. Chen Yu's words made her feel a sense of loss for no reason.

"As long as you understand. Qiongsi should be here soon." Chen Yu put down his cup.

"What is he coming here for? Didn't you go out with him today?" Moli looked at Chen Yu, feeling somewhat puzzled.
