Nine Revolutions Star Transformation

Chapter 47: Chapter 47: Family Feud (Part 1)

The speed of Chu Linfeng was incredibly fast, with only the sound of the wind rushing by his ears. His only hope was to quickly return to the Chu Family.

Although Lin Ruoxi was quick, compared to Chu Linfeng, she was much slower, given that stepping techniques were quite rare in that area.

When they were less than two miles away from the Chu Family, Chu Linfeng caught up with Lin Ruoxi.

Seeing Chu Linfeng unharmed, Lin Ruoxi’s heart finally settled.

”Lin Feng, are you alright? What about that man in black? How did you escape from him?”

Chu Linfeng felt a wave of emotion seeing Lin Ruoxi’s concerned expression.

”I’ve already killed him. He should be on his way to Yama Hall now with the others!” Chu Linfeng answered straightforwardly. He didn’t want to hide anything from Lin Ruoxi.

”Killed by you? How is that possible? He had at least the strength of the Earth Martial Realm. Though I don’t know how he suddenly became so powerful, I’m certain he was that strong.

The fact that you could kill a strong person from the Earth Martial Realm is truly surprising, Lin Feng!” Lin Ruoxi felt like she had been struck by lightning. It was utterly shocking.

”Maybe it was just good luck! But you did well today too. It was your first time killing someone, wasn’t it?” Chu Linfeng slowed his pace to match Lin Ruoxi’s.

At this moment, a trace of fear appeared on Lin Ruoxi’s face, ”I... it was my first time killing someone. It feels terrifying!”

For a beautiful lady like Lin Ruoxi, killing was indeed a daunting task, yet today’s events didn’t disappoint Chu Linfeng.

”What’s so scary about killing? Dealing with bad people is like slaughtering dogs, a simple task.

This world is what it is; kill or be killed! Strong power commands respect. Let’s hurry back; I feel something has gone wrong at home!” Chu Linfeng quickened his pace as he spoke.

”Lin Feng, wait up for me!” Lin Ruoxi hurriedly followed.

When Chu Linfeng and Lin Ruoxi were just two hundred meters from the Chu Family’s entrance, they stopped. With his excellent eyesight, Chu Linfeng could clearly see things at that distance.

He saw about a hundred people standing at the entrance, with the Liu Family Patriarch, Liu Yuankai, and his confidants in the front.

Next to them stood three men in white robes, making Chu Linfeng examine them more deeply.

The three men gave Chu Linfeng a special feeling, an oppressive aura of power, ”Ninth Layer of Black Tortoise Realm? Or strength of the Earth Martial Realm? When did the Liu Family have experts like this?” Chu Linfeng muttered.

”Lin Feng, your eyes are sharp; those three are beyond your match, likely possessing the First Level of Earth Martial Realm strength. Best not to fight head-on!”

The voice of Sword Spirit Yue’er suddenly appeared in Chu Linfeng’s mind. With her keen insight, she could recognize them at a glance.

”I understand, and I’ll be careful,” Chu Linfeng said gratefully.

Then he turned to Lin Ruoxi and said, ”Ruoxi, it’s very dangerous here. Go to the City Lord’s Mansion and find Sima Jingyi. Leave now, while no one has noticed you.”

Even though Lin Yanran was a strong fighter now, facing at least three Earth Martial Realm experts was too risky.

Better to avoid danger and find a stronger ally. Right now, the only one who could help was Sima Jingyi.

Though relying on a woman for help felt awkward, the situation was different. Those three men in white were not opponents his family could handle. For the survival of his family, Chu Linfeng had to endure it, considering it a favor owed to Sima Jingyi.

”Lin Feng, I want to stay with you. Even if it means dying, I will be willing!”

Lin Ruoxi was completely unfazed by Chu Linfeng’s intentions. Although she knew he meant to protect her, facing adversaries together with her beloved was worth even death.

”Be reasonable, now’s not the time for stubbornness. Go find Sima Jingyi; maybe she can help me at a crucial moment. If the City Lord’s Mansion steps in, everything can be resolved.”

Lin Ruoxi reluctantly left, her eyes brimming with tears as she told Chu Linfeng, ”Lin Feng, don’t worry, I’ll make it happen!”

”As long as you’re safe, that’s what matters; the rest isn’t as important anymore!” murmured Chu Linfeng in his heart as he watched Lin Ruoxi walk away.

”Chu Yuanba, come out here!” Liu Yuankai yelled angrily towards the Chu Family gates.

”Old Liu, what are you yelling for? Your grandpa Chu Yuanming is here, talk to me if you have something to say,” shouted Chu Yuanming as he emerged from the gate.

Chu Yuanming was Chu Linfeng’s fourth uncle, usually not at the mansion, mostly managing the family’s business outside.

After examining those gathered outside, Chu Yuanming chuckled:

”Liu Yuankai, you truly regard our Chu Family highly, bringing so many people and even inviting the Wang Brothers. You must have spent a fortune!”

Despite his words, Chu Yuanming was deeply shocked inside. The Wang Brothers were infamously ruthless characters.

It’s said they reached the Ninth Layer of Black Tortoise Realm five years ago, ruthless figures who left no survivors.

More so, the brothers’ martial skills complemented each other, making them impossible to deal with when attacking in unison.

Couldn’t believe the Liu Family would go all out to invite these devils, a tough battle awaited today!

At this moment, Liu Yuankai laughed heartily, ”True, I did invite the Wang Brothers, but the money wasn’t from me; your Chu Family helped me. Shouldn’t I thank you?”

”Chu Yuanqing, you brute, come out right now! To think you’re a Chu Family member, performing such acts. Today, I’m cleaning up for the Patriarch!”

Chu Yuanqing often mingled closely with the Gongsun family, as Chu Yuanming had long known. But he never expected the Gongsun family would help Liu Family invite the Wang Brothers, such a surprise—perhaps the two families had allied?

”Fourth Brother, for the sake of our brotherhood, surrender to me and I’ll spare your life. If you continue to side with that ungrateful wretch, don’t blame me for not caring about family!”

At this point, Chu Yuanqing emerged from the crowd, wearing a hat and a black veil over his face to conceal his identity.

”I spit on that! Do you think you’re fit to be my brother? I’ll never acknowledge someone like you as my brother; if you want to be Patriarch of the Chu Family, try again in the next life!

And other Chu Family disciples—stop hiding, like the Gongsun Clan people, come out! If you dared to act, why fear being known? Step out now!” roared Chu Yuanming, visibly enraged to the extreme.

As soon as his words ended, about forty people gradually appeared behind Chu Yuanqing. Some were from the Chu Family, some from the Gongsun Clan, all of whom were Chu Yuanqing’s loyal followers within the Chu Family.

From a distance, Chu Linfeng observed this scene, feeling a surge of emotions. With these people present, no wonder the Chu Family remained the weakest among the clans for years. Such shameful traitors and disgrace to the family.

”Now that it’s come to this, don’t blame your second brother for being ruthless! Attack, today Chu Yuanqing will shine!”

Zhao Yuanba ordered, signaling his loyal followers to attack the Chu Family.

”Hahahaha! Chu Yuanqing, you think you’re too brazen! You think I don’t exist?”

At that moment, Chu Yuanba appeared at the entrance, accompanied by several honored guest elders of the family, two elderly men with white hair, and a middle-aged man whom Chu Linfeng recognized as Lin Ruoxi’s father, Lin Quan.
