Blood splattered, flesh burst, and Chen Shan was blown into a mist of blood. His blood soared high, showering down on that last piece of White Silk that had yet to be stained red.
At this mont, the entire Chen Family’s old mansion was draped in red silk and bedecked with crimson flowers, appearing as if they were celebrating the birthday of the one being honored at the feast—only the red was dyed by the blood of the host.
One by one, the mbers of the Chen Family hung on the red threads were stunned. Chen Zian stared incredulously at the bloodstained ground, disbelief coloring his eyes.
If it were before, he could never have imagined that Chen Shan—the one who called himself the Celestial Dao and held the life of the entire Chen Family like a deity—would die in such a manner.
Every plan they made was seen through, every tactic discerned, and all their efforts seed like ants playing at Chen Shan’s fingertips.
But now... that ’Celestial Dao’ was crushed by an unseen power... died so easily, died without leaving a whole body, died... sowhat comically.
A second ago, he was spouting arrogant words, about to unleash disaster to reap the Chen Family, and the next mont, he just exploded.
Such a stark contrast made the mbers of the Chen Family feel a bit unreal.
"Chen Shan...is dead??"
"That old thief is dead!!"
"Is it true? Isn’t this death a bit too hasty?"
"Zi’an, did you find so great senior to help us!?"
"Don’t celebrate too soon. That old thing’s ans are no longer human-like, it’s not impossible that he’s not completely dead and might resurrect in so way!"
One of the elderly Chen Family mbers pierced by the blood thread exclaid incredulously, eyes filled with an unbelievable joy and a hint of undisguised fear.
Chen Shan had been weighing down on the entire Chen Family for too long. As he said, to the Chen Family, he was the Celestial Dao.
Even after witnessing Chen Shan’s death with their own eyes, they couldn’t believe, dared not to believe, but in their hearts, they desperately hoped, hence the complex emotions in their eyes.
Crash!!
As Chen Shan exploded into a blood mist, the blood threads initially piercing through them dissolved at once, as if lted snow flowing into a stream.
Chen Zian and the others fell directly to the ground, with most of their blood drained by Chen Shan, each of them weak and frail.
Chen Zian and his brothers could barely stand, while the older ones could only lie on the ground helplessly.
Once on the ground, Chen Zian didn’t hesitate for even a mont. He knelt down, facing the sky, eyes filled with gratitude and reverence.
"I do not know which senior rescued my Chen Family from calamity, understanding our suffering, saving us from the brink of destruction. I, Chen Zian, am willing to lead the entire Chen Family in service like dogs and horses!"
Chen Zian’s reaction was swift. Mountain Ancestor’s violent death definitely ant a supre strongman had acted, not only possessing overwhelming strength, but also striking at this crucial mont.
Everyone often acts for a single word ’benefit’.
The person who struck down Chen Shan, saving the Chen Family, must have a reason, and the Chen Family now urgently needed a powerful backing. Thus, Chen Zian didn’t hesitate to show loyalty.
This action had another benefit, even if Chen Shan wasn’t completely dead and could rely on the disaster to reincarnate in the Chen Family descendants.
Having a strongman who could easily extinguish him in charge, he couldn’t act recklessly as before.
Everyone else who could stand imitated Chen Zian by kneeling, while those lying on the ground tapped their chests lightly to express their will.
Chen Zian sighed deeply in his heart. Originally, he signed a Blood Covenant with Su Tu intending to solve the disaster in one go, to counter Chen Shan’s thods and extract the ’disaster’ from them, even at the cost of annihilation, to return the Chen Family to freedom.
But it seed their plans had already failed. Their sches were all seen through by Chen Shan, and Su Tu’s life and death were still unknown.
Without Su Tu, the ’disaster’ could not be removed. Therefore, the priority was to ensure the Chen Family’s survival; the Chen Family could die but not aninglessly.
The current situation was already the greatest surprise—an unknown strongman crushed Chen Shan and removed the shadow weighing on the Chen Family, although the ’disaster’ still lingered within.
Earlier, Chen Shan intended to unite all the disaster, which would inevitably lead to the Chen Family’s extinction.
Compared to being reaped by that old farr, this result already allowed Chen Zian to breathe a sigh of relief.
Now, the most critical thing was to uncover the identity and origin of the person who acted at this pivotal mont and why.
"Let everything proceed according to the Blood Covenant’s agreent."
A calm and sacred voice descended from the sky, like the voice of a deity, and fell into everyone’s ears imdiately.
Hearing this, Chen Zian’s expression instantly froze, and then a burst of ecstatic delight appeared in his eyes!
"Su Tu!!"
Chen Zian exclaid in his heart. He brought Su Tu into the fray, suspecting that behind Su Tu was a strong power other than the Heaven-Reaching Dao Lineage.
Originally, Su Tu was hidden by Chen Shan’s thods, and Chen Zian thought he had bet wrong, but now it seems he had bet correctly!!
Behind Su Tu, there truly was soone who could crush Chen Shan with a single hand!!
With such a towering figure to rely on, Su Tu could not possibly die. Perhaps he had already gained his freedom, so does it an... does it an....
