Chapter 165 Needless To Say
Mind your own business.
【Returning to the Origin of Ten Thousand Swords】is very powerful, extremely powerful. After being strengthened through advanced divine techniques, it can unleash its full power. The spiritual power stored in the skill imprint is also sufficient for him to exert his full strength for a long time.
However, in terms of precise control, his level is still at the Foundation Building stage, and this move is not suitable for group battles that require coordination.
Bai Ying is able to cooperate with him because she is a semi-immortal beast with a much higher sensitivity than humans, coupled with her Spirit Gathering stage cultivation, she can keep up with him.
But once they reach the ground, it won't work anymore. His sword shadows are capable of taking away the Chu family manor and everyone inside.
So he displays enough dominance in the air, directly revealing his trump card, the 【Returning to the Origin of Ten Thousand Swords】, partly because the opponent is one realm higher than him, and partly to deter the attackers below from attacking the manor.
Unexpectedly, these people are going all out.
He can't let them really break into the inner courtyard!
"Bai Ying, I'm counting on you to hold off these two!"
Chu Shen makes a decisive decision and prepares to turn around and join the battle below.
Bai Ying whimpers twice, conveying the meaning of "leave it to me". The possibility of defeating two Spirit Gathering stage cultivators is not high, but she can still hold them off. Not only because she, as a semi-immortal beast, has a stronger physical body, reaction speed, and spiritual power than human cultivators, but also because she has undergone professional training and has the blessings of the golden light talisman and the dragon's saliva healing. With one against two, she is full of confidence.
Chu Shen leaves the aerial battle and takes a spiritual energy pill to replenish the consumed spiritual power. He also puts away the 【Returning to the Origin of Ten Thousand Swords】 and directly uses the Sky Dance Technique to rush towards the ground.
The sword shadows that filled the sky disappear, but he charges into the battlefield like a mad tiger.
【The Favor of Hou Tu】gave him ten times the strength, unmatched secret magic enhancement within the same realm. He could take on ten opponents at once, and his 【Famous Sword Embryo】 was extremely sharp. With a single strike, the person who received it would either be sent flying with their whole body or half of their body.
This greatly undermined the enemy's morale, and the unlucky subordinates left behind by the transporters had to allocate a portion of their manpower to surround and attack him.
However, Chu Shen had the Divine Ability talent of 【Warlord】, which automatically caused any weapon attacks that failed the judgment to miss and not harm him. Weapon attacks that passed the judgment were either blocked by his armor and golden light talismans or quickly healed by the 【Dragon's Saliva Healing】.
Furthermore, he also had the 【Dancing in the Sky Technique】 and 【Moon Escape Technique】. Ordinary Qi Refining and Foundation Building cultivators couldn't fly, and their escape techniques were not as convenient as the Divine Ability 【Moon Escape Technique】, so he completely controlled the situation.
The commander sighed deeply. He knew it was over, there was no chance. Everyone had underestimated Chu Shen's strength time and time again, thinking his combat power was five, but they didn't expect it to be one hundred. Only when they responded with a hundred did they realize that his combat power had already risen to two hundred...
What's worse, sword lights were already flying towards the sky. The reinforcements from the Langxuan Heavenly Palace had arrived, and they all seemed to be elite.
"The Dark Department is all useless, and these transporters are even worse!"
He despairingly slit his own throat.
If he couldn't win, it meant he couldn't escape the Langxuan Heavenly Palace's net of heaven and earth. Instead of bringing disaster to his family, it was better to take his own life and seal his lips. Perhaps this would allow the organization to show some mercy to his family in light of his heroic sacrifice.
With his death, the soul also disappeared along with the black mist that enveloped his body, revealing an ordinary face beneath the mist.
Without a soul, there was no need to worry about the Langxuan Heavenly Palace using soul-searching spells to extract specific information from his remnants. This could be considered one of the ten methods the organization used to prevent leaks.
As for the assassins he had abandoned?
They are all cannon fodder recruited to do the job for money, not worthy of knowing valuable information, and they don't have to worry about leaking secrets no matter what happens.
Seeing him commit suicide, and seeing the reinforcements from Langxuan Tiangong arrive, the team attacking the Chu family's manor completely collapsed. Except for a few desperate ones, the rest of them started to scatter and flee.
However, it was too late.
The disciples of Langxuan Tiangong's law enforcement had long been holding back their anger: someone actually caused trouble right under their noses, is there still any justice? Is there still any ugly law?
What's even more unfortunate is that the victims this time are the family members of the Tianjiao Sequence members, which has a significant and negative impact!
Not a single one of these troublemakers can be spared!
Chu Shen saw the law enforcement disciples appearing in an organized manner and breathed a sigh of relief. He did not participate in the cleanup and pursuit of the remaining enemies, but hurried to meet with the Chu family members gathered in the inner courtyard.
After some inquiries, he learned that the concubines and children were not seriously injured, but the Chu family's servants and attendants suffered heavy casualties, which made him feel sorrowful.
Many of these deceased Chu family servants were elderly people who had been recruited when he was still in Nanping City. Some were the hometown acquaintances and relatives of the concubines, some were accompanying attendants, some were refugees and beggars he had saved, and some had good aptitude and were specially recruited by him to be cultivated.
......
"Make sure to properly handle the bodies of the deceased. For those with families, compensate and console them doubly. For those without families, the Chu family will erect monuments and hold ceremonies. They died for our Chu family, for our Chu family's people, and we must not neglect them."
The concubines who survived the disaster were also grateful to these people. If it weren't for their desperate resistance, how could they have waited for Chu Shen to come back and save the day?
Moreover, some of the fallen soldiers are even their relatives, like the younger generation from the village where Chen Xiu and Chen Ying sisters are from, and the distant relative Hu Chuanshan from Zhao Chulu's family who came to seek some blessings.
Everyone showed a mournful expression and observed a moment of silence for the deceased.
At the same time, doubts continued to arise in everyone's hearts.
"Husband, our Chu family has always been kind to others, not fighting or robbing, living a peaceful and honest life. How could someone be so vicious and come at us with knives drawn?"
Even Chen Xiu, who usually has the best temper, was gritting her teeth and filled with hatred.
Chu Shen looked at the angry faces of his concubines and said in a deep voice, "I don't know the specific situation. These people have unclear origins and unclear intentions, but daring to do such things on the territory of Langhun Heavenly Palace, there must be significant implications behind it. Do you still remember the case of Yuan Tao's family?"
At the time of that case, some of the concubines had not yet entered the Chu family, but after they entered, they also heard about some of the things that happened, not to mention those who experienced it firsthand.
"How could we forget? I remember that Yuan Tao's family were all despicable people. They targeted our innocence and were truly despicable!" Zhao Chulu clenched her teeth in hatred. When she was on official business in Nanping City, she had also encountered some of these despicable people and knew how miserable they could make the families they harmed.
Chu Shen nodded, "At that time, Yuan Tao's family was dealt with too quickly, as if someone couldn't wait to kill them and silence them. At that time, I had doubts and felt that Langhun might not be as peaceful as it seemed. Now it seems that my speculation was correct. Such a large force, such precise and ruthless attacks on our Chu family, it would be impossible for outsiders to achieve without the help of an insider."
Fang Wenjuan, who was well-versed in the inner workings of the officialdom, felt a sudden chill in her heart, "Husband, are you suggesting that within Langhun Heavenly Palace..."
Chu Shen said coldly, "There's no need to say it out loud. Just knowing is enough."
