Chapter 58: Turbulence in the Family

  ……

  Yan Zhiwu's leg was broken and he didn't even have the ability to roll on the ground.

  "Spare my life, please." Yan Zhiwu was terrified to the extreme, his pale face uttering a weak and pitiful plea: "I was wrong, I really was wrong. Please, give me another chance. I can make amends, make amends..."

  "Redemption?" Chen Mo sneered and threw a punch at his dantian.

  "Bang~" A sound similar to an explosion was heard, and his vital energy seemed to be like a broken balloon, slowly flowing out of his body.

  Chen Mo kicked him again, without using any fancy moves or techniques, just purely venting the anger in his heart.

  "Chen, Chen Mo, you, your big brother was indeed injured by me, but I'm just a hitman. The mastermind behind the scenes is your three elders. I only took advantage of it, I can give you anything, just please..."

  His legs were already crippled and his Qi Sea was broken, Chen Mo had thought of giving up, but hearing him say that, a fierce aura flashed in his eyes, and he punched him hard on the head.

  "Ah!" The last unconditional reflexive scream, Yan Zhiwu's facial expression ended his short and sinful life in agony.

  Revenge is sweet!

  There's an indescribable joy in my heart, even tears can't flow out.

  It's just the beginning of avenging big brother.

  "Chen Deshui, you old fox, wait for me." Chen Mo stumbled up from beside Zheng Zhiwu's corpse, clenching his fists and gritting his teeth as he spoke.

  Chen Mo just wanted to leave, but Xiao Ba bit his pant leg and then turned around with a turtle-like gaze towards Yan Zhiwu's corpse.

  Almost forgot to collect the spoils of war, Chen Mo patted his head and hastily searched around.

  "What? Spiritual goods mysterious skill, golden bell cover?"

  Chen Mo suppressed his excited mind and stuffed all the miscellaneous medicines he had gathered into Xiao Ba's mouth, as a share of the spoils.

  He then found a secluded spot to treat his injuries. The battle with Yan Zhiwu had left him severely injured, especially after using the tyrannical and fierce Golden Vajra Demon Subduing Technique, which had brutally damaged his blood vessels and meridians.

  ……

  A few days later, Chen Mo appeared near the Chen family with a speed that no one else could match.

  Arrived home, Chen Mo's mood was somewhat complicated.

  It's been almost three months since I left home, and I have no idea how my family is doing.

  As he was passing through a small grove, a strong gust of wind suddenly came from above, Chen Mo reacted extremely quickly, his feet tapped the ground and he floated backwards like a willow catkin.

  Fell several feet away, the momentum around him burst out instantly, like a spring thunder exploding, and a residual shadow rushed forward, kicking hard at the black shadow.

  "Hmm."

  A dark figure emerged, bursting out with a loud shout, and layers of palm shadows enveloped Chen Mo.

  Boom!

  With a loud crash, the air waves rolled away in all directions, and countless withered branches and leaves flew wildly.

  Chen Mo couldn't withstand the violent impact, and flew backward for seven or eight zhang before landing on a large tree, his blood boiling. He cried out in a loud voice: "Shattered Shore Palm! Canglang Seven Extremes? Second Elder, it's me, Chen Mo!"

  Canglang Seven Ultimates is a complete set of Xuan techniques in the lower grade of Lingpin, and only those who have cultivated Canglang Gong can cultivate this technique.

  And this Canglang Gong is one of the three major spiritual products of the family, and in the family, only the two elders Chen Guangbiao can cultivate Canglang Gong to such a powerful level. Moreover, looking at his body shape and breath, who else could it be if not Chen Guangbiao?

  Chen Guangbiao's first move didn't succeed, and he felt a bit surprised. He hadn't expected Chen Mo's strength to increase so rapidly. His next move was an even more ferocious technique that hurtled towards Chen Mo like a flying wave or a surging tide.

  "A wave recedes." In an instant, he arrived in front of Chen Mo.

  Chen Mo's figure swayed back and forth, like a small boat on the vast ocean, still floating, but the rolling waves seemed to be about to crash down on him at any moment.

  "Awesome, worthy of being a 6th rank Spirit Master."

  Chen Guangbiao's eyes were sharp and merciless, without a hint of leniency. His hands were clasped together in front of his chest, and the dark energy from his entire body surged forth.

  Chen Mo suddenly exerted his strength, and the ground was cracked with a loud bang. A tremor shook the earth, and his body rose into the air using the recoil force. Integrating the Taohuabenglei Dao intent, he also had the Daguangming Shenkui's most masculine and yang fist, which violently burst out.

  "Thunder Cannon"

  Like fists like cannons, as if they could blast everything flat.

  Rumble rumble rumble~

  A series of intense explosions shook the surrounding area, causing small trees to be uprooted and leaves to scatter everywhere.

  An old man and a young one, both flew backward seven or eight zhang.

  Each stood on a treetop, gazing at each other from afar.

  Chen Guangbiao's eyes lit up, and his instincts made him feel a few strands of astonishment at this move. The power was so great that it was not only intuitive to feel, but also gave rise to fear in his heart, and the blinking of his eyes was a color of surprise and admiration.

  Dense creeping grass, one or two sturdy big trees, the two people standing facing each other, only stopping after a strong gust of wind blows by.

  "Second Elder, you're a family elder after all. Can you give me a reason for using such tactics to bully a junior like me?" Chen Mo's eyes were clear and sharp, staring intently at every move Chen Guangbiao made, not daring to relax in the slightest.

  Chen Guangbiao didn't speak, and his eyes were also very complicated, with a mix of reluctance, unbearable pain, regret, entanglement, and suffering. A person like this is the hope for the revival of the family, even if he himself dies, it's impossible to kill such a talent, unless it's Chen Deshui...

  "Since you won't speak," Chen Molang said in a loud, angry voice, his hand suddenly grasping and clenching into a fist. "Then I'll have to ask myself!" With a forceful stomp of his leg, he took a big stride forward, leaping over the air, and threw a straight punch at Chen Guangbiao's face.

  "Golden key opens the door."

  Chen Guangbiao did not underestimate this low-level mysterious skill. This Vajra Fist seemed to have an inexplicable, heart-pounding aura.

  Both hands swing upwards to meet, the layered palm shadows enveloping the person, this is the "Shattered Shore Palm" of Canglang Seven Ultimates. As the name suggests, the ferocity of Shattered Shore Palm lies in the waves shattering the shore, continuous and unrelenting.

  "Jīn gāng dǒu wēi." Chén mò shēn xíng yī huàng, jiǎo cǎi dà dì, cháo tā měng zhuàng ér qù.

  Translation:

  "A mighty roar!" Chen Mo's figure flashed, his feet stomped the ground, and he charged at him with a fierce crash.

  "A storm is brewing without wind." Chen Guangbiao's single-handed virtual hug, the mysterious energy fluctuated, and the surroundings seemed to thicken in an instant. Chen Mo's body seemed to be swayed, as if he was in the center of a whirlpool, his footsteps unstable for a moment, his stance scattered.

  Clap Clap Clap~

  The two of you came and went, and in a short while, more than ten moves had passed.

  After all, there is a gap of four levels in strength, and Chen Guangbiao is older, so he has been immersed in the mysterious skills for decades more than Chen Mo.

  All sorts of advantages of Chen Mo are difficult to play out, can only be busy coping with, and cannot parry.

  However, Chen Mo's greatest advantage lies in the explosive power of Guangming Xuanqi, in Taohuang Thunder Road, and in the still tender shoots of the Guangming Divine Tree.

  A flicker of hesitation flashed in Chen Guangbiao's eyes, and his movements slowed down for a beat.

  Chen Mo seized the opportunity, his body suddenly rising, his massive physique surging with blood and energy, his momentum unstoppable as he summoned a Fumo Golden Vajra that burst forth from the ground!

  "Kung Fu Devil!"

  Chen Guangbiao only felt a several-zhang-tall golden Vajra, with an invincible might, smashing down on him, and he had a feeling that it was inescapable, unavoidable, and even unstoppable.

  "The surging waves of the Tsanglang River..."

  With a wave of both hands and a sudden stomp, the Xuan Qi in his body gathered and burst outwards, causing a pale blue layer to be pushed open.

  The canopy bulged outward, encountering the suppressed Vajra Demon Subduer. For a moment, it actually emitted a loud, resonant sound again. Both of them felt their minds tremble at the same time, their spirits shaken and fluctuating dizzily, as if they were rubber bands that had been stretched to the limit and suddenly released.

  Boom! Chen Guangbiao spat out a mouthful of black blood and flew backwards.

  Chen Mo took a look at the puddle of fresh blood on the ground, which was bright red but surrounded by a black aura, and it seemed to have some similarities with the situation he encountered when treating Qu Tianyu.

  "Huh? Something's off." Chen Mo muttered to himself, as with the Second Elder's strength, he should be stronger than him by a large margin. How could he have been defeated so easily?

  "Second Elder, I'd like to hear your explanation." Chen Mo suddenly moved in front of him and said in a low voice.

  "No need for explanation, just leave." Chen Guangbiao's face was shrouded in a layer of dark energy, and he said coldly and stiffly: "Take your family with you, get out of the Chen house as soon as possible, the farther the better."

  Although indifferent, Chen Mo seemed to have heard a hint of concern.

  He thought for a moment, then grabbed Chen Guangbiao's hand, and his heart suddenly tightened. Indeed, it was similar to the toxin in Qu Tianyao's body. It was just much milder than hers.

  Is this a conspiracy?

  Without saying another word, he pretended to take out a dan medicine and stuffed it into Chen Guangbiao's mouth, secretly manipulating the light and dark energy, and then extracted a small thread of green liquid from the tender branch to help Chen Guangbiao recover.

  He faintly repeated the process he used to treat Qu Tianya, and after a moment, Chen Guangbiao spat out a mouthful of blood, mixed with a wisp of black air that dispersed as soon as it met the wind.

  Chen Guangbiao's eyes flashed with surprise, and he said excitedly: "Chen Mo, do you still have this kind of elixir?" His eyes were filled with intense hope.

  "There is." Chen Mo nodded silently, understanding dawned on him, and indeed someone was secretly sabotaging.

  "That's great, our Chen family is saved." Chen Guangbiao excitedly grabbed Chen Mo's hand and said.

  "Second elder, don't get agitated, speak slowly..."

  A moment later, Chen Mo's eyes revealed a furious look, Chen De Shui, it was indeed another one of Chen De Shui's plots.

  ……

  That night, Chen family's ancestral home, three elders at Chen Deshui's mansion.

  In the study, a colorful screen, a row of ancient and fragrant shelves, on which were placed all sorts of things, some of which even the Chen family's ancestors had never seen before, and were priceless.

  Even an ordinary desk is made of thousand-year-old dark purple sandalwood, with intricate patterns on it, which is extremely luxurious.

  There were two people in front of and behind the desk, one was Chen Deshui, and the other was Second Elder Chen Guangbiao.

  Logically speaking, Chen De Shui, as one of the three elders, was only a sixth-level spiritual master. In terms of cultivation status, he couldn't compare to Chen Guangbiao, who was the second elder.

  However, at this time, he was wearing brocade, sitting upright on a high-grade Huanghua pear-wood carved armchair.

  Looking at the Second Elder on the other end, he saw that his clothes were tattered and stained with splatters of blood, his breathing was disordered, and he was clearly injured. In his eyes, there was a hint of disdain.

  "It's just a small Chen Mo, how can it be so messy?" Chen De Shui slowly savored his tea.

  "This time the antidote." Chen Guangbiao's face looked a bit unsightly, and he said in a low voice: "Chen Mo somehow had an unexpected encounter and has already reached the second stage of spiritual cultivation. After a fierce battle, I finally knocked him off the cliff."

  "Don't worry, as long as you're willing to work hard for me, I guarantee that you'll be prosperous and wealthy in the future, with a status above all others." Chen Deshui tossed out an antidote, speaking in a majestic tone: "In the future, when the Chen family is under my control, our glory will surely surpass that of our ancestors."

  Chen Guangbiao took the medicine and his dark face suddenly looked much better, his eyebrows relaxed a bit: "I hope you keep your promise."

  "The night is long and dreams are many, we must take action ahead of time." Chen Deshui's eyes were gloomy as he whispered to Chen Guangbiao, this and that.

  "That Elder Ta Shang..." Chen Guangbiao hesitated and said: "What if he has been promoted..."

  "Don't worry about this." Chen Deshui suddenly interrupted, saying calmly and confidently: "Everything is under control. Go do your thing. After this matter is over, I will completely remove all the poison from you."

  Chen Guangbiao's eyes flashed with a hint of anger, but he immediately spoke obediently: "If that's the case, then I'll go and do my job."

  After he left, Chen Deshui immediately changed his expression and respectfully bowed to the screen with a fist, saying "Master Qu".

  A young man in his early twenties, dressed in a green robe with his hair tied back, emerged from behind the screen. He had a robust build and was born with a handsome and elegant appearance, with a good complexion. However, between his eyebrows, there was a hint of an aloof and superior air.

  If Chen Mo were here, he would certainly recognize that this was the Qu Muqing who had come to break off the engagement with Nangong Bingyan.

  "You've handled this matter well, don't worry. At that time, the entire Chen family will be yours, and I'll just take things." Qu Muqing said calmly.

  "Thank you, Master Gu." A hint of frenzy flashed across Chen Deshui's eyes.
