Chapter 114: Chapter 68: One Man Destroys a Clan_2

He didn’t know how to counter this influence, nor did he even know how it had reached him!

Such means were terrifying!

Seeing him spill tea on himself, the maid hurriedly knelt down and wanted to wipe it off. Zhao Tianbao waved his hand, signaling the maid to step back. Normally, he liked this maid and would occasionally spill some tea on himself on purpose for her to wipe it, adding a bit of excitement.

He remembered the first time he took the maid’s virginity; he had used this method, intentionally holding the tea unsteadily and spilling some water on himself, letting her wipe it. The maid, too, was willing, so they proceeded with push and pull.

But today, he had no such thoughts.

He steadied his spirit.

"Yanlong’s vengeance must be avenged!"

After a moment, he steadied his mind and whispered, "If I don’t avenge this great vengeance, my Zhao family cannot settle in Xin Xiang Province! To become a family that passes down through thousands of generations, we must execute that boy, annihilate his lineage, exterminate his clan! We must kill until bodies cover the field and blood flows into rivers to intimidate other families!"

"So, my grandson must die, is that right?" a voice came from outside.

Zhao Tianbao was shocked and quickly got up, only to see an old man in funeral attire, carrying a green oiled paper umbrella, entering the study.

The elder was quite tall, and the attire he wore was somewhat disconcerting, his complexion slightly greenish. Facing Zhao Tianbao, he exhibited composure, walking into the governor’s study as if he were entering his own home, without the slightest hint of being an outsider.

"I always worry that after I leave, no one will care for my grandson, and that he will be subjected to humiliation. His life has been so pitiful; he has suffered much torment, and I cannot let him continue to suffer. But I cannot kill all the enemies and those who mean him harm, so I must deal with them one by one; only then can I rest in peace upon my death."

Chen Yindou, holding the umbrella with one hand, looked toward Zhao Tianbao and said, "Your household is not well-managed, leading to the Zhao family descendants committing misdeeds and harming the neighbors, thereby bringing great disaster upon your Zhao family. I have been very tolerant and indulgent toward your family; the previous times you targeted my grandson, I just watched, without intervening. But this time, I must intervene. Don’t worry, I will not kill the innocent; I will only kill you."

Zhao Tianbao’s temples twitched violently, feeling a profound sense of oppression.

"It’s difficult to annihilate a family. I’ve tried many times before. But annihilating your Zhao family is not difficult."

Chen Yindou said, "After you die, your Zhao family, headless, will be replaced by others who will deal with the crimes caused by the demon transformation. How many of your Zhao family will survive is hard to tell."

Zhao Tianbao shuddered and said, "Who are you, sir? I have a significant relationship with Elder Yan of the Western Capital Cabinet..."

"Dead people have no value."

Chen Yindou shook his head and said, "I am not an unreasonable man; I came to kill you to put an end to future troubles. But I don’t mind if you resist. If you can kill me, you can save your life, and by the way, kill my grandson too. Do you have any last words?"

Zhao Tianbao knew that once the other party came knocking, it was impossible to let go of this feud and immediately said, "Sir, please wait."

He prepared the ink, raised his brush, and after some time, he put down the brush and said, "Sir, you must have come fully prepared, but I will not sit still and wait to die. It is yet to be determined whose deer the hunt will claim! Please!"

He activated his Primordial Spirit, merging it with the Divine Embryo!

A dull noise echoed in the study, the window frames clattering suddenly before everything settled down.

Chen Yindou, holding the green paper umbrella, walked out of the study, turned back to close the door, and drifted away.

Rain began to fall from the sky, drizzling.

The rain wasn’t heavy.

The elder, with the green umbrella, walked through the rain, gradually moving away.

After a long while, the maid who came to clean the tea set discovered that Governor Zhao Tianbao was dead, and a piercing scream emerged from the study.

Chaos ensued in the Zhao residence of Xin Xiang Province.

The Governor’s Wife received Zhao Tianbao’s will, and saw it mentioned that after her death, the Zhao family would surely face attacks from other great families. Moreover, the blame for the Demon Transformation on Qianyang Mountain would also fall on the Zhao family. The person who received the will should keep silent, take some of the younger Zhao family members and belongings, and immediately leave Xinxiang Province, hiding their identities to preserve the Zhao family’s lineage.

The Governor’s Wife immediately commanded her people to prepare, only to find the mansion in utter chaos.

A great house was about to collapse.

The downfall of a noble family often came unexpectedly.

However, Chen Shi was unaware of this.

He had killed Zhao Yanlong and raced all the way, catching up with Li Tianqing; the two then fled back to Qianyang Mountain, their souls barely settled.

The two cautiously headed toward Huangpo Village, fearing that formidable figures from the provincial city might reach Huangpo Village before them and apprehend them.

On the way, they even saw people walking! Although they had not entirely recovered from petrification, they indeed walked!

"Little Ten, there are fish swimming in the water!" Li Tianqing exclaimed, having noticed something.

Chen Shi approached the ditch and indeed saw fish moving underwater, with some even jumping out of the water.

Suddenly, a melodious and prolonged roar came from the distant mountains, loud and majestic; it was the roar of mutant beasts awakening. If one were in the mountains, they might think it was the roar of a dragon. Chen Shi had once chased after this sound but never found its source.

He was both alarmed and delighted.

It had survived.

Qianyang Mountain had survived this Demon Transformation and come back to life!

As they returned to Huangpo Village, a group of ducks quacked and waddled out, but Yu Zhu, who usually took care of the ducks, did not follow, likely not fully recovered from petrification.

Chen Shi grabbed a duck, which then laid an egg for him, waggled its tail, and joined the main group of ducks.

Holding the warm egg, Chen Shi waited a moment before seeing Yu Zhu slowly emerge, probably worried about the flock.

Chen Shi hurried toward the village; the villagers were moving their feet sluggishly and greeting one another cautiously, appearing to be in relatively good spirits.

Chen Shi quickened his pace and arrived at the village center, where the petrified Divine Tree had also revived, lush and thriving.

At the sight of the Divine Tree, a young girl sat on it and stretched out her hand to him as he approached, holding a bright red fruit.

Hesitant, the girl smiled and said, "It used to be poisonous, but it’s safe now."

Chen Shi took the fruit, bit into it, and savored its sweet taste that refreshed his spirit.

He returned home to see Li Jindou lying on his grandfather’s lounge chair; both legs amputated, wrapped round and round with white cloth to prevent further bleeding.

Jin Hongying was helping Granny Sha exercise her limbs, with Xiao Wangsun standing by.

All four were severely injured.

As they entered, Black Pot wagged his tail and greeted them with a smile.

"Where’s Grandpa?" Chen Shi asked.

Just then, his grandfather’s voice came from outside, "Little Ten, I’m back."

Chen Shi turned around to see his grandfather standing at the door, leaning on a blue umbrella, smiling at him.
