378. Chapter 378: What exactly are they in seclusion for?

However, the Second Elder didn't even have time to say a single word before he breathed his last.

Fufeng saw this, his heart filled with a complex mix of emotions; it seemed he hadn't expected that the Second Elder, who had always been so high and mighty, would suddenly die.

Unconvinced, he stabbed him several more times to be sure the Second Elder was truly dead, only then did he stop.

In an instant, he collapsed to the ground, breathing heavily, his eyes carrying a hint of relief.

Su Chen and the others said nothing, quietly giving Fufeng time to catch his breath.

After a long while, Fufeng finally revealed a faint smile; he stood up and said to Su Chen, "Thank you all, I have finally taken my revenge."

His voice was hoarsely unrecognizable.

"It's nothing," Su Chen said.

"The Second Elder didn't have to die, but because of my selfishness, things got messed up. Whatever you want to do next is fine; I will do my best to cooperate with whatever I can do."

Fufeng couldn't help but pat his own head, lowering his posture significantly.

"Even if you hadn't come, I would have killed him anyway; now it's just a matter of who did it."

Su Chen shook his head, paused, and then continued, "Since we've come here, if we don't turn this place upside down, it would be a disservice to them for searching for me for so long."

"Does Master mean..."

Natasha looked at Su Chen with some confusion.

"Of course, it means we are going to make a move on them."

Su Chen curled his lips into a cold sneer, his eyes full of mockery.

Since the people of the Ouyang family want to act like cowards, he will force them to come out.

Thinking of this, Su Chen and Natasha went back to rendezvous, discussing the plan until the second half of the night before finalizing the plan for the next day.

Time passed in the blink of an eye, and finally, the appointed time arrived.

Su Chen and the others split into several groups, starting their attacks from all four corners of the Taiyi Sword Sect.

Most of those currently in the Taiyi Sword Sect were loose cultivators or collateral branches of the Ouyang family; even if there were powerful individuals, they could not withstand a casual strike from Su Chen and his group.

The Taiyi Sword Sect, which originally had a large number of people, was slaughtered by Su Chen in the blink of an eye, and the Taiyi Sword Sect had now become a living hell.

"Master, this is an Elder of the Ouyang family."

Xiaoxian threw a person tied up like a dumpling in front of Su Chen, her tone carrying a hint of pride.

Su Chen nodded and slowly walked up to the man.

The man was beaten black and blue, unable to move due to the ropes, his shifty eyes darting around constantly, filled with annoyance.

"Since you already know I am from the Ouyang family, why don't you hurry up and release me? Otherwise, the Head of the Family will absolutely not spare you!"

The man glared at Su Chen, and even though he was tied up, he still looked down his nose at people.

For someone so stubborn, it is best to just solve the problem.

Su Chen raised his hand and slapped him twice, directly stunning the man.

A buzzing sound echoed in his ears, and for a moment, the man couldn't hear a thing. "I'd like to see how the master behind you intends to not spare me."

Su Chen laughed nonchalantly, then as if thinking of something, he continued, "However, it seems you won't have the chance to see it; after all, crushing you to death is as simple as crushing an ant."

His gaze was cold; even though it was the height of summer, it felt as if one were in a cold pool in the depths of winter—calm and waveless, yet the cold wind drilled through the flesh and into the bones.

The man couldn't help but freeze, looking at Su Chen in terror.

He did not doubt for a second that if he said the wrong thing, Su Chen would kill him without hesitation.

Although he was a member of the Ouyang family and acted arrogantly in the Taiyi Sword Sect on a daily basis, in reality, he was only at the Quasi-Emperor Initial Stage of cultivation.

If not for his connection to the Ouyang family, he would never have reached his current position.

Those who know the times are heroes; the man immediately put on a fawning smile, looking at Su Chen ingratiatingly, and then continued.

"Young master, don't be so angry. You know that the Ouyang family's influence in the entire Central Province is currently at its peak. Offending us won't do you any good. If there is anything you want, just say it; if I can satisfy you, I certainly will."

Su Chen was quite satisfied with his compliance and asked straight to the point: "What about the others in the Ouyang family? What exactly are they in seclusion for?"

These two short sentences immediately caused the man's expression to change; he knew that for Su Chen to know so much, he was definitely not an ordinary person.

Seeing him remain silent, Su Chen lost his patience and slapped the man across the face.

"If you don't know how to speak, then there is no need for you to exist in this world."

Su Chen said coldly, his eyes already carrying a hint of killing intent.

The man was suddenly terrified and hurriedly said: "I'll talk, I'll talk! Sir, please don't be angry. I can take you to the place where they are in seclusion, but it is said that the Taiyi Sword Sect and the Ziwei Pavilion intend to attack the Western Wasteland, all to find someone who is apparently the reincarnation of the Dragon Great Emperor..."

The more the man spoke, the less confident he felt; visibly, Su Chen's expression grew uglier, and he feared that in the next second, Su Chen would chop his head off.

It must be said that the Ziwei Pavilion's considerations were very comprehensive.

On one hand, they sent people from the Taiyi Sword Sect to rest and build up their strength, preparing to attack the Western Wasteland and capture Su Chen.

On the other hand, to avoid Su Chen coming to the Central Province, they sent Sun Taohong, Nangong Xuntian, and others to search within the Central Province.

The more they investigated, the more clearly they could feel that there must be an envoy of the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor in the Ziwei Pavilion, and it was nine times out of ten that legendary Ziwei Xianzi.

Moreover, it currently appeared that the entire Central Province was already in the hands of Ziwei Xianzi; she was clearly a woman with great ambition.

If Yi Zhuyue was indifferent to fame and fortune and only acted at critical moments, then Lanbo was someone who used his power to unscrupulously harm everyone.

Unlike Yi Zhuyue's solitude and Lanbo's ostentatious lack of influence, this Ziwei Xianzi knew how to win people's hearts and possessed powerful forces of her own; this level of scheming was unmatched.

Su Chen's expression was somewhat grave; they had been in the Central Province for so long, and all they had achieved along the way was cutting off Ziwei Xianzi's wings.

Yet, after all this time, they still hadn't seen what that legendary Ziwei Xianzi actually looked like.

"Do you know how to contact the Ziwei Pavilion, or how to get there?"

Su Chen's gaze fell on the man, his expression cold and devoid of emotion.

The man originally wanted to say something else, but feeling Su Chen's cold gaze, he swallowed the words he wanted to blurt out.

"Every time the Ouyang family contacts the Ziwei Pavilion, it is the envoys of the Ziwei Pavilion who come; it is said that to enter the true Ziwei Pavilion, one needs a clearance pass." (End of chapter)
