Chapter 52 Anger Poison Enters the Brain, Tribulations Begin
However, Chen Chunan felt uneasy after contacting the clan chief.
This unease only began after he informed me.
This made Chen Chunan wonder, "I've already planted the yellow sprout, secured my life, and restored my six senses. Why am I so uneasy? And this only started after I informed the clan leader to evacuate. Could there be some unforeseen event related to the clan leader and the others?"
Chen Chunan felt uneasy: "If only I had been well-versed in the I Ching in my past life, I wouldn't be completely clueless now. I should go back."
After making up his mind, Chen Chunan decided to set off immediately to return to his clan's territory.
Thinking of this, Chen Chunan turned to Hongxian and said, "Hongxian, I'm planning to go back home. How about you stay here for a few days? I'll have your sister Lin come and keep you company."
Hongxian looked up blankly: "Brother, aren't you going to take me home? I haven't been home in so long, I miss home."
"Red Thread, your brother needs to go back and check on the clan chief and the others. I have a feeling that things might be different this time. Be a good boy, okay?"
Although Hongxian was reluctant, she also knew that she had not learned magic and had no combat experience, so going with her would be a burden.
He could only nod worriedly and say, "Brother, be careful! The Liu family is not to be trifled with. If you can't beat them, run away quickly and come back safely. Oh, and take this talisman with you, brother!"
Chen Chunan felt a warmth in his heart: "No need, brother is not the same as before. You should protect yourself. I will take you to your sister Lin's house first."
He then took the red thread and leaped out of the house, heading straight for Lin Jing's home.
...
"Chen Chunan? Why are you so late?"
"Lin Jing, I need to go back for some business and it's inconvenient for me to take Hongxian with me. Could you please look after her for a few days?"
Hongxian quickly chimed in, "Sister Lin, I'll be good and won't delay your patrol duties."
Lin Jing had lived with Hongxian before and knew that the girl was very sensible, so she nodded in agreement.
"No problem, I get along quite well with Hongxian. Don't worry, I'll take good care of her."
Seeing that she agreed, Chen Chunan handed her a spirit stone bag: "Here are 1000 spirit stones. Use them for your daily expenses. You can't use your money to take care of Hongxian."
"Sigh, how much does it cost to take care of Hongxian..."
"Just take it, why are you being so polite with me? I know you too well. It's already jingling, are you still holding back?" Chen Chunan didn't care about her forced politeness and just stuffed it into her hand.
Then, Chen Chunan didn't linger and turned to run away.
Only Lin Jing, slightly embarrassed, and Hong Xian, covering her mouth and giggling, were left behind.
...
Meanwhile, Chen Chu Nanfang rode his flying sword to Tianmu Mountain.
On the other side, Liu Ruyan, having gathered all her men, had already arrived at the Chen clan's territory aboard a floating cloud boat.
The Floating Cloud Boat was quite conspicuous and was spotted by the Chen clan from afar.
Upon seeing the Liu family's several floating cloud boats, the Chen family was thrown into chaos.
Chen Daoping's mind went on high alert: "Daoxuan, Daoyan, the Liu family is definitely up to no good! You two split up and run back to find Chu Nan. Just remember to avenge me later!"
Although Chen Daoxuan looked flustered, his tone was firm: "Second brother, we can't escape! They have the Floating Cloud Boat; we can't get away! We must fight them!"
Seeing Chen Daoping's apparent determination to fight to the death, Liu Ruyan on the floating cloud boat scoffed disdainfully and immediately sent a telepathic message to Liu Qingfeng, who had been hiding for a long time: "Uncle Feng, make your move!"
A streak of blue light suddenly appeared from the darkness, heading straight for Chen Daoping.
Chen Daoping sensed the fluctuations with his divine sense and realized that someone was hiding nearby, but it was too late.
The second-level Foundation Establishment cultivator, with a calculated attack on the unsuspecting Qi Refining Perfection cultivator, ambushed Chen Daoping before he could react and was beheaded with a single sword strike.
Witnessing this scene, Chen Daoxuan's eyes widened in fury: "Second brother! I'll fight you beasts to the death!"
Chen Daoyan gritted his teeth, merged his body with the magical artifact, and hurled it at Liu Ruyan.
...
The closer Chen Chunan got to Tianmu Mountain, the more uneasy he felt, and even his right eyelid started twitching inexplicably.
"I hope my worries are unnecessary!"
Chen Chunan muttered to himself, seemingly trying to comfort himself.
But before he could finish speaking, the sound transmission conch in his arms began to vibrate instantly.
Chen Chunan was startled and quickly channeled his spiritual energy. The elder's grief-stricken voice instantly rang out: "It's Liu Ruyan! It's the Liu clan! Avenge us! Ugh!"
Chen Chunan's heart was in turmoil, his killing intent burning fiercely.
"Liu! Ru! Yan! Liu family! I swear to kill you!"
His original plan was that if the clan chief and the others evacuated normally, he would go to the Liu family to negotiate and rescue the clan chief's great-granddaughter and several women from the clan, while also settling old scores.
There is a cause for every wrong, and a debtor for every debt; I do not wish to commit reckless killing that would harm my spiritual practice.
Now, Liu Ruyan has gone mad for some unknown reason.
Instead of Liu Guisheng, whom she had been worried about, she ordered a large-scale attack on the Chen clan and killed the clan elders.
Chen Chunan was still unsure whether the clan chief had any dealings with the other clan members.
Chen Chunan activated his flying sword with all his might, increasing his speed by another three points.
As Chen Chunan ran, he forced himself to calm down and began to think about his action plan.
Chen Chunan was unsure how many Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Liu family had come, nor what their cultivation levels were, so his primary objective was to rescue them.
Once my clansmen are safe, I will attack the Liu family and destroy this den of wolves!
The market town is quite far from the Chen clan's ancestral home, and it usually takes at least four or five days to travel there.
Now, Chen Chunan was riding the sword light at an astonishing speed, traveling day and night, and arrived at the outer perimeter of Tianmu Mountain before dawn the next day.
Before he even entered the outer perimeter, he saw many of his clansmen who had died tragically.
Chen Chunan's heart sank to the bottom of the sea: "I only informed the clan leader this morning, and the Liu family made their move tonight. Did that old dog Liu Guisheng find out through divination?"
Liu Guisheng, who was in seclusion in Longji Mountain, sensed something and broke out in a cold sweat.
Then, his expression turned bitter: "I've been staying indoors, so why is the aura of calamity even stronger? What is this little beast relying on to actually come here to kill me? Did he bring senior members of his sect?"
...
Chen Chunan grew increasingly anxious and rode his sword light straight toward the interior of Tianmu Mountain.
But as soon as he entered, Chen Chunan sensed three hanging corpses from afar with his divine sense: Chen Daoping, Chen Daoxuan, and Chen Daoyan!
A white cloth was hanging beside him, which read: Those who betray the Liu family shall die!
When Chen Chunan saw the gruesome deaths of the clan chief, the eldest clan elder, and the second clan elder, his eyes instantly turned red.
He harbored a sliver of hope, thinking that perhaps only the eldest elder had perished, while the clan leader and the two elders of their lineage had not escaped the calamity.
Although Chen Chunan was not particularly close to the clan leader, the eldest clan elder, and the second clan elder, they were indeed his blood relatives.
The clan leader even used the entire clan's savings to buy cultivation techniques, magical artifacts, and Foundation Establishment Pills for his own benefit.
Chen Chunan's heart is made of flesh and blood; how could he not feel anything?
Chen Chunan's killing intent surged to its peak, and he no longer held back.
"Previously, I was greedy and wanted to cultivate spiritual energy techniques, wanting to have it all, and thus I was poisoned by greed. I also harbored murderous thoughts towards the Liu clan, thus I was poisoned by anger. I was deluded by the false dragon and tiger of the liver and lungs, thus I was poisoned by infatuation. As a result, I became confused about cultivation, and was seduced by the demon Liu Guisheng, which caused my false nature to become insane, and my true nature to be damaged. Now, it is you Liu clan who have forced me to this! Even if the poison of anger enters my brain, I will still exterminate the entire Liu clan!"
Chen Chunan extended his divine sense and instantly discovered Liu Ruyan, Liu Qingfeng, and others who were staying in the main residence of the clan.
Chen Chunan's divine sense made no attempt to conceal his killing intent, instantly sending chills down the spines of Liu Qingfeng and Liu Ruyan.
"Oh no! Ruyan, get out of the way quickly!"
