Chapter 12 – Rooting Out the Weeds

Regardless of whether Chen Changan's identity is real or fake, just the presence of this talking big yellow dog is enough to make Wu Chengfeng and his companion fearful.

When Chen Changan inquired, the two naturally dared not slack off, yet they couldn't tell the whole truth.

"To answer, Senior, some time ago, the spiritual energy of the entire Beiyuan County was drained. As the County Governor of Beiyuan, I naturally had to investigate."

"I eventually found out that it might be related to Yangui City, which is why I came here."

"However, I didn't expect to encounter the scene just now."

"I hope Senior can understand, it's my duty, I can't just sit by and do nothing," Wu Chengfeng said respectfully.

"Since it's your duty, let's forget about it."

Chen Changan didn't hold it against them but instead turned to look at Chen Yunxuan.

"Yunxuan."

"Yes."

"Have you ever killed anyone?"

Hmm?

Have you ever killed anyone?

Upon hearing this, Chen Yunxuan was slightly taken aback but still replied, "No, I haven't."

"In that case, I have a task for you."

"Take some people to the Xu Family and the Ning Family."

"Leave no one behind, regardless of age!"

Chen Changan's words sent a chill through everyone present. Kill them all?

Even Wu Chengfeng and Nan Xiangtian were greatly shocked by the ruthless methods of this Chen Family's Ancestor.

"Ancestor, the Xu Family and Ning Family have already lost their elites and pose no threat."

"Do we really need to do this?" Chen Yunxuan hesitated.

"Foolish!"

"Since they are enemies, why show mercy?"

"The principle of cutting weeds and eliminating the roots is something I hope you understand!"

"Never underestimate any potential danger, even one can lead to consequences you can't bear!"

"In the future, when you venture out, you need not only courage and talent but also a ruthless heart!"

"Being merciful to your enemies is being cruel to yourself."

"Do you understand?" Chen Changan asked sternly.

"Yes, Yunxuan understands," Chen Yunxuan replied seriously.

"Go, you will have to go through these things sooner or later, better to experience and adapt early."

"Yes."

Chen Yunxuan nodded, then took a few people and headed straight for the Xu Family and Ning Family.

"By the way, you are the County Governor of Beiyuan County, right?"

"You don't mind what I'm doing, do you?" Chen Changan asked with a smile.

Mind?

Only a fool would say they mind, as long as he doesn't kill me, he can kill whoever he wants.

"Senior, you're joking, I wouldn't dare," Wu Chengfeng quickly replied.

"If there's nothing else, you should leave."

"Senior, with the current strength of the Chen Family, it's no longer suitable to stay in Yangui City."

"How about I arrange a place for you? Let the Chen Family move there, what do you think?"

Not wanting to miss such an opportunity to curry favor, Wu Chengfeng saw only benefits and no drawbacks if the powerful Chen Family stayed in Beiyuan County.

"No need, the Chen Family will be leaving here soon."

"This... may I ask where you are heading?"

"The Capital City!"

The Capital City?

Is the Chen Family entering the capital? Returning to the position they once held?

But on second thought, it makes perfect sense. What was lost must naturally be reclaimed.

Beiyuan County probably can't hold onto the Chen Family anymore.

Wu Chengfeng smiled wryly, bowed respectfully to Chen Changan, and then left the Chen Family with Nan Xiangtian.

"Who would have thought that the Chen Family still had an Ancestor."

"But why didn't I sense any danger from him?"

After leaving, Nan Xiangtian finally dared to speak, afraid of saying something wrong at the Chen Family and facing disaster.

"Such a person has already reached heights beyond our reach, how could you sense anything from him?"

"However, it seems the sky of the Great Zhou Kingdom is about to change."

"The Chen Family entering the capital will surely cause a stir!" Wu Chengfeng sighed.

"Indeed, do you think the Chen Family is heading there for that matter?"

"Didn't they say there was a contract between the Chen Family and the Liu Family back then?"

Hearing this, Wu Chengfeng's expression changed. How could he have forgotten about this?

"It's possible!"

"No, I must report this to His Majesty as soon as possible."

Great Zhou Kingdom, Capital City

"Family Head, it's already been a month, we can't hesitate any longer, or there won't be enough time."

After returning to the Liu Family, Liu Mengyan and Liu Chengfeng recounted everything that happened at the Chen Family, along with their thoughts.

However, after hearing this, the Liu Family Head hesitated, unable to make a decision.

Now, a month has passed, and Liu Mengyan and Liu Chengfeng are starting to worry. The longer it drags on, the less favorable it is for the Liu Family.

"I know what you're talking about. Is that person really the Chen Family's Ancestor?"

"Is he really that strong?"

"Did you see him make a move?" the Liu Family Head asked with a frown.

"Family Head, although he didn't make a move, he's definitely very strong. Facing my aura, he was completely unaffected."

"This indicates his strength is definitely above mine."

"Moreover, when we left, the spiritual energy of the entire Beiyuan County was drained. I suspect it was his doing, a warning to us," Liu Chengfeng said seriously.

The information was too vague, making it difficult for the Liu Family Head to make a decision.

Perhaps this so-called Chen Family Ancestor had reached the Transcendent Stage, maybe even beyond it, but offending the royal family was not a trivial matter.

In a month, Liu Mengyan and the Fifth Prince's engagement ceremony would take place, and the royal family had already started preparations.

Canceling now would be a slap in the face to the royal family, wouldn't it?

"Father, I know what you're hesitating about."

"But that Chen Family Ancestor is a figure who has lived for ten thousand years."

"If we prepare in advance, perhaps the Chen Family will show leniency for old times' sake."

"As for the royal family, they probably wouldn't dare provoke such a person, right?" Liu Mengyan advised.

Hearing this, the Liu Family Head looked troubled. After hesitating for a long time, a thought suddenly struck him.

"Wrong, wrong, it's all wrong!"

"The Chen Family... what a clever strategy!"

"They almost fooled us!" the Liu Family Head said with a smile.

"Hmm? Wrong? Father, what was wrong?" Liu Mengyan asked, puzzled.

"If the Chen Family truly had such a powerful Ancestor, why have there been no movements in a month?"

"If they were truly strong, why resort to tricks to warn you?"

"Their only purpose is to make you worry, to make you afraid, so you wouldn't dare to act against the Chen Family."

"If you two fell for it, you'd come back and, just like now, cancel the engagement with the Fifth Prince."

"At that point, without the Chen Family lifting a finger, our Liu Family would already be unable to withstand the royal family's wrath."

"The Chen Family could eliminate us without shedding a drop of blood."

"What a strategy, the Chen Family truly has a clever strategy!" the Liu Family Head said with a cold smile.

"Family Head, but that Chen Family Ancestor does indeed have strength. Otherwise, he couldn't have faced my aura so calmly," Liu Chengfeng said, confused.

"That's their true brilliance!"

"They have strength, but not much."

"Their strength is above yours, but definitely not enough to contend with the royal family."

"If Mengyan's engagement with the Fifth Prince succeeds, our Liu Family and the royal family will be one."

"At that point, what could the Chen Family possibly do?"

"You two are still too naive, thinking too simply."

"Even I was almost led astray by you two."

"Hmph, such a small trick can't fool my eyes," the Liu Family Head said coldly.

"I see!"

"The Family Head is indeed wise!"
