Chapter 835: Counterattack

"Heh, I understand my son. He came here tonight just to lure the snake out of its hole," Chen Anyi laughed. He picked up a glass of wine and downed it in one gulp.

"Lure the snake out of its hole?" Chen Anguo looked at him, puzzled.

"I always thought Qiu Yanfang had someone supporting her from behind the scenes, but I had no proof. That is why I made many preparations but never made a move against her," Chen Anyi said.

"And Chen Yu must have anticipated this. His coming to strike at Qiu Yanfang today was a feint; he was using this opportunity to force out the person behind her. Look, Xie Yu has appeared," Chen Anyi said.

"Then what do we do next?" Chen Anguo frowned. "The Chen Family has been controlled by her for all these years; we brothers have absolutely no power."

"When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. She is not the scary one; the scary one is the Xie Yu behind the scenes. If I am not mistaken, Qiu Yanfang was sent by Father to hollow out the Chen Family," Chen Anyi said.

"Why would Father do that?" Chen Anguo gritted his teeth and said, "You and I are both his sons. Why does he want to control us?"

"Because he has ambition. As sons, we can deny his methods, but outsiders will not. As long as you give outsiders enough benefits, they will risk their lives for him," Chen Anyi exhaled a breath of stale air.

"Does Chen Yu understand what you mean?" Chen Anguo asked.

"He should understand. He is a smart man. Our biggest threat right now is Xie Yu," Chen Anyi said. "To avoid deepening the misunderstanding between him and me, I must meet him."

"Leave it to me. I will arrange it," Chen Anguo downed a mouthful of wine.

"Can I trust you? You have also hidden yourself very well. All these years, I thought you had defected to Qiu Yanfang's side," Chen Anyi looked at his younger brother.

"Heh, we are brothers. No matter what step the Chen Family reaches in our hands, it is fine, but she is just an outsider," Chen Anguo sneered. "The Chen Family has been controlled by her for over twenty years. If we don't get rid of her now, when will we?"

He Group.

"You went to the Chen Family just to force the person behind Qiu Yanfang to show themselves?" He Lingyun looked at her son in surprise. "Doing this is too risky."

"I know, but I had to figure out who exactly this woman relies on. Now it is clear," Chen Yu said. "She is Chen Tianming's person. For some reason, Chen Tianming does not trust his own two sons, so he threw her out to control the Chen Family."

"And that Xie Yu behind her is also Chen Tianming's person. His strength is extremely formidable; he is a Dharma Cultivator at the Late Stage of the Primordial Qi Realm. Even one of his subordinates is ridiculously strong. Just how strong Chen Tianming has become is unknown," Chen Yu said.

"If that is the case, then it seems to make sense," He Lingyun nodded slightly. "Your father is being controlled."

"I saw him today. He was trying his best to protect that woman," Chen Yu said.

"What do you think is his true purpose in protecting Qiu Yanfang?" He Lingyun looked up at Chen Yu.

"Rather than saying he is protecting her, it is better to say he is protecting me," Chen Yu sighed slightly and said. "Because if we really fought to the death, I am no match for that Xie Yu. It would be a pyrrhic victory."

"You cannot take such risks," He Lingyun was startled. She grabbed Chen Yu's hand and said, "You can ignore Qiu Yanfang. She is nothing more than a clown, but I do not want to see you suffer any harm."

"I know what I am doing," Chen Yu smiled. He murmured, "Having managed to live until now, I cherish my life more than anyone else."

"However, I did not let that woman off easily. She should be lying in the hospital with a disfigured face by now," Chen Yu sneered. "I cannot kill her right now, but I can teach her a lesson and make her recognize her current status."

Just then, Chen Yu's phone rang. He picked up the phone and answered it. After hearing a few words from the other side, his expression changed slightly.

"What is it?" After Chen Yu hung up the phone, He Lingyun's expression changed slightly.

"Chen Anyi wants to meet me," Chen Yu said. "I don't know what he wants to do."

"He wants to meet you?" He Lingyun was also surprised.

Late at night, in a private room, Chen Yu and his mother met Chen Anyi.

Chen Anyi had changed from the decadent appearance he had at home. To meet his wife and son, he had specially tidied himself up.

He wore a well-fitting, straight, custom-made suit and a Patek Philippe watch on his wrist.

It was just that he was not as energetic as he had been when they last met. His breathing was a bit rapid, and Chen Yu instantly sensed a wheezing sound from his lungs.

He Lingyun stared blankly at Chen Anyi, this man who was once her husband. Their homes were actually only a few kilometers apart, but after the divorce, they had sworn never to see each other again.

"I'm back," Chen Anyi stood still in front of He Lingyun. Looking at his wife and son, his eyes filled with tears.

He Lingyun's eyes were also a bit moist. Back then, when she was at her most vulnerable, Chen Anyi had divorced her and quickly gotten together with Qiu Yanfang, even obtaining a marriage certificate.

At the time, she had hated him to the bone, but when she saw him again, she could no longer feel any hatred in her heart.

Because she had loved him once, all her most beautiful and most painful memories were left to her by this man. Deep in her heart, many things about him could not be erased.

Her gaze swept over Chen Anyi's body and landed on the watch on his wrist.

"I bought this suit and watch for you. After all these years, you still kept them?" He Lingyun tried hard to keep her voice calm.

"I kept them, and I have also kept all the memories between us. I haven't dared to forget them for decades," Chen Anyi said.

"Then tell me, why did you do that back then?" Chen Yu asked in a deep voice.

"Because of your grandfather. When I was only five or six years old, he obtained a cultivation technique. This technique is called the 'Heavenly Moon Nine Chapters'," Chen Anyi said.

"Heavenly Moon Nine Chapters?" Chen Yu's expression changed slightly. "In ancient times, it is rumored that a master had a sudden inspiration, discovered what no predecessor had, and created a shortcut method for Dharma Cultivators."

"This method can turn the world upside down and make the stars lose their luster, while also rapidly increasing a cultivator's realm," Chen Yu said. "And the nine chapters also record various methods to defy the heavens and change one's fate. Those who succeed in their cultivation can even avoid entering Reincarnation and control everything?"

"That's right. Your grandfather was obsessed with this cultivation method back then, to the point of madness," Chen Anyi murmured. "In order to reach a higher level of cultivation, he could even sacrifice everyone around him and become heartless."

"Because the main principle of the Heavenly Moon Nine Chapters is to abandon the Seven Emotions and sever all ties in the mortal world," Chen Anyi sighed. "And later, when you were born, he suddenly discovered that your fate was different from ordinary people. If utilized properly, he would no longer have to struggle to cultivate the Heavenly Moon Nine Chapters."
