Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1228: Chapter 1227: What Does It Have to Do with Me?

Huang Wuyan stared coldly at Chen Benhong, who met his gaze without showing weakness. After all, a Terrestrial Immortal shouldn’t kill ordinary people like them, so Chen Benhong was not the least bit afraid.

At this critical moment, an anxious voice suddenly came from outside, ”Patriarch Huang, please do not get angry. Hong’er was eager to avenge Brother Huang’s death, so he spoke hastily. Please, Patriarch Huang, be magnanimous.”

Chen Benhong turned his head and saw Chen Jiu leading a group of people in. Among them, there were even some Terrestrial Immortals from the Chen Family.

Seeing this, Chen Benhong was taken aback. They were just looking to talk to Huang Wuyan, was it necessary to bring so many people? Hadn’t Chen Jiu taken people back already? Why had he come back again?

Upon seeing Chen Jiu and the others approach, Huang Wuyan’s expression softened a bit, but he still ignored everyone.

Chen Jiu led his group into the hall, first shooting Chen Benhong a fierce glare before hastily smiling and clasping his hands in greeting, ”Patriarch Huang, it’s been many years since our last meeting, I trust you’ve been well?”

Huang Wuyan’s face went from angry to calm, ”It’s not that I don’t want to see you; it’s that you’re always holed up somewhere. How can we meet then? To me, the path you’re on, breaking through to a Terrestrial Immortal directly, you might as well be a Law Enforcer by now!”

Chen Benhong looked at Chen Jiu in surprise. He hadn’t expected Huang Wuyan to hold his Uncle Jiu in such high regard, even suggesting he could become a Law Enforcer. Did that not imply that his own Uncle Jiu could be among the top three on the Heavenly List?

Chen Jiu, however, remained unfazed and simply smiled lightly, ”Patriarch Huang, it’s been many years and you still can’t see through it. Let’s not talk about this. For the offense my family junior has caused just now, please allow me to apologize personally, what do you say?”

”If you say so, of course, I must give you face,” said Huang Wuyan, pausing for a moment and looking at Chen Benhong with a cold gaze. ”I know you’re not convinced, thinking that as a Terrestrial Immortal, I can’t do much to you. But, boy, even if I can’t touch you, which of your Chen Family’s Terrestrial Immortals can beat me? I may not kill you, but that doesn’t stop me from slaughtering a few of the Chen’s Terrestrial Immortals to vent my anger. What can you do to me?”

Chen Benhong’s face changed drastically; now he finally understood why Chen Jiu and the others had been insisting on his courtesy towards Huang Wuyan—it was because of this.

Just as Huang Wuyan had said, he couldn’t kill ordinary people, but he could kill Terrestrial Immortals.

Although the Chen Family had many Terrestrial Immortals, there were few who were truly capable of being put to use. With Huang Wuyan being Ninth on the Heavenly List, if he really attacked the Chen Family, the family’s Terrestrial Immortals would likely suffer heavy casualties.

Even though Terrestrial Immortals usually stayed out of worldly affairs, they still represented the foundation of a family. The Chen Family’s current status owed much to the many Terrestrial Immortals in the family.

If Huang Wuyan actually killed a batch of the Chen’s Terrestrial Immortals, then the standing of the Chen Family would plummet, possibly even falling out of Capital City’s top ten.

Cold sweat covered Chen Benhong’s forehead. If his few words resulted in angering Huang Wuyan to the point of killing the family’s Terrestrial Immortals and causing the family’s status to decline, then he would be the sinner of the clan.

”Brother Huang, the matter of Su Yang must be resolved quickly. Otherwise, who knows what kind of major trouble might arise in the future!” Chen Jiu paused, then communicated through a voice transmission, ”People like the Beigong War God should be one of a kind; another should not be allowed to emerge!”

A sharp light flashed in Huang Wuyan’s eyes as he suddenly looked at Chen Jiu and communicated back, ”Can Su Yang be compared to the Beigong War God?”

”The Beigong War God is only one man, of course he cannot compare with the Beigong War God. However, to produce another person who can wreak havoc in Capital City is decidedly unwise,” Chen Jiu transmitted his voice. ”This time, the attitude from the Martial Champion’s side is very clear; they will not meddle in this affair. In fact, the Martial Champion even helped Su Yang out of a predicament before. Their relationship is quite good, and Su Yang will definitely not provoke the Martial Champion. Should Su Yang rise in power, I’m afraid all the great clans of Capital City will suffer!”

Huang Wuyan fell silent for a while then said in a cold voice, ”What does that have to do with me?”

The people around them naturally could not hear what the two of them were discussing through transmitted messages, but what Huang Wuyan said just now, everyone could hear. They were all surprised and wondered why Huang Wuyan would say such a thing.

Chen Benhong thought Huang Wuyan still did not want to get involved, and as he opened his mouth to speak about Huang Mingshan’s situation, he was directly pulled away by Chen Jiu.

”Brother Huang, I know this matter has nothing to do with you. But even if you become one of the Law Enforcers, there are many others in the Huang Family,” Chen Jiu said. ”You might not consider it for yourself, but you should at least consider it for the sake of the young and old of the Huang Family, shouldn’t you?”

”Consider?” Huang Wuyan spoke in a cold voice, ”Speaking of which, it’s your Chen Family that’s in the most danger. Large family, extensive business, and the grudge with Su Yang can no longer be resolved. If Su Yang is not dealt with, how many of your Chen Family will have to die to put an end to this affair!”

Chen Benhong was even more annoyed and said in a deep voice, ”Patriarch Huang, could it be that you have forgotten about the Su Family of Yanbei...”

Just as Chen Benhong had begun to speak, Chen Jiu’s expression changed instantly. He grabbed him and forcefully flung him outside.

However, it was ultimately too late. Huang Wuyan stretched out his hand and caught Chen Benhong, pressing him to the ground.

”Kneel!” Huang Wuyan ordered coldly.

”What I said—is that not correct?” Chen Benhong bellowed in rage. ”Huang Wuyan, you actually dare to attack someone below the level of a Terrestrial Immortal. Are you not afraid of the Law Enforcers? Even if I won’t kneel today, can you really kill me?”

Huang Wuyan did not pay him any attention, his gaze swept over the people of the Chen Family, finally landing on a Terrestrial Immortal.

”You, make sure he kneels here!” Huang Wuyan said in a cold voice. ”If he doesn’t kneel, I’ll kill you first!”

This Terrestrial Immortal had some previous disputes with Huang Wuyan, but as Huang Wuyan’s strength grew, he had no choice but to submit. Threatened and berated by Huang Wuyan, he dared not say anything and could only reluctantly tell Chen Benhong, ”Kneel down!”

Chen Benhong was stunned, and he urgently cried, ”Uncle Jiu...”

Before he could finish speaking, the Terrestrial Immortal slapped him across the face, ”I told you to kneel down!”

Chen Benhong’s face turned red with rage, extremely angry, but he ultimately dared not say anything. After all, a Terrestrial Immortal’s status within the family hierarchy was extremely high.

Huang Wuyan glanced at Chen Benhong and said coldly, ”Your Chen Family really has no one left, to choose such a person as the Chen family heir?”

Chen Jiu let out a wry laugh. In reality, the people of the Chen Family were not fools; they all knew that Chen Benhong was not suitable to be the Chen Family heir. But what could they do? This wasn’t something they could decide, after all!

”Enough, I won’t waste my breath with you!” Huang Wuyan said coldly. ”I can step forward and find those Terrestrial Immortals to handle this matter. But what price is the Chen Family willing to pay?”
