Then, twenty-four robust young men stepped forward with synchronized strides, just as the steward was about to commence the mourning ritual.

Xue An waved his hand, stopping him, and then turned to signal the newly arrived Fire Phoenix Special Forces personnel.

“Come over here and lift the coffin!”

“Yes!” Fire Phoenix’s captain Cheng Hao took the lead, with all the members of the Fire Phoenix advancing to support the coffin.

“Start the procession!” Xue An called out softly.

The coffin was lifted from the ground and then Xue An personally assisted with the coffin.

“Let’s go! Escort the old master on his final journey!”

With this command,

a path opened up with a roar before them.

Chen Rushi knelt down by the roadside, already crying hysterically.

As the members of the Fire Phoenix carried the coffin past her, Chen Rushi bowed deeply.

“Grandfather, may you have a good journey!”

This mournful cry moved everyone present.

And when the coffin exited the Chen Family’s main gate, all the prominent families finally snapped out of their initial shock and couldn’t help but gasp in unison.

“My heavens, am I seeing this right? The Fire Phoenix people are actually carrying the coffin?” someone said in shock.

It was well known that the Fire Phoenix Special Forces held a highly revered status among the citizens of the Hua Clan, akin to that of war deities.

Moreover, members of the Fire Phoenix all possessed at least the cultivation level of Loose Immortals, with many being immortals of longevity, and the highest-ranking among them even breaking through to Golden Immortal status.

Such high-level cultivators, no matter where they go, are revered by thousands, and now they were carrying the coffin for Chen Xiu. What an honor it must be?

“Didn’t you see that even Mr. Xue was personally assisting with the coffin? This… Old Master Chen surely died with utmost honor and mourning!” another person exclaimed with envy.

“Indeed! Mr. Xue has given the Chen Family great face!”

Everyone sighed in admiration.

At this moment someone shouted, “What are you standing around for? Hurry up and escort the old master on his final journey!”

This woke the dreamers, and the prominent families of Zhongdu scrambled out, not wanting to fall behind others.

Because even a fool could see that from this point on, the Chen Family was set to soar to great heights, surpassing its former glory.

Chen Rushi was publicly taken as an apprentice by Xue An, adding luster to the late Chen Xiu.

This clearly signaled to everyone.

The Chen Family, I, Xue An, have protected!

With this, who would dare not to show respect?

Thus, a rare spectacle appeared in Zhongdu today.

In the front was an imposing funeral procession, and behind it gathered more and more of Zhongdu’s prominent families.

Even many who had not come to mourn earlier rushed over upon hearing the news.

Although Mr. Xue would not care about these matters,

if one’s own family missed out on this grand occasion, it could lead to being ostracized by other prominent families, which would result in significant loss.

And the Zhongdu citizens who spontaneously came to pay their respects were also astonished.

“Heavens, it’s actually Mr. Xue personally assisting with the coffin!”

“Hiss! Even those carrying the coffin are from Fire Phoenix!”

“Look, nearly all of Zhongdu’s prominent families have come! The Chen Family’s influence has truly reached the sky!”

From the Chen Family to the cemetery, the distance was quite long.

Yet the crowd along the way grew larger and larger.

But everyone spontaneously cleared a path.

The coffin passed through, and wherever it went, the crowd showed their utmost respect.

And in the sky, unbeknownst to when, the clear skies had turned into an overcast canvas.

Under such an atmosphere.

The casket finally made its way through most of Zhongdu, arriving at the location of the mausoleum.

Chen Rushi, supported by several close female relatives, came to this place.

Even though she had prepared herself for everything, the sight of her grandfather, who had raised her, being laid to rest stirred Chen Rushi to tears once more.

“Grandfather!”

Her cry was so desolate it brought tears to all who heard it.

At last.

The coffin was buried.

As the last shovel of earth covered it,

a light rain began to fall from the sky.

In the silence that followed, Xue An silently filled a bowl with wine.

“Mr. Chen, this cup is for you! May you roam freely in the afterlife, unshackled and at peace,” he said.

Having spoken, Xue An drained the bowl and with a fierce gesture, smashed it, then began to chant solemnly.

“Who says I have no clothes? I share my robe with my brother. When we muster our troops, I polish my spear and shield, joined in our common cause…

It was just Xue An reciting at first, but soon the members of the Fire Phoenix standing behind him joined in.

Ultimately.

Everyone present began to recite the ancient war song.

Their voices were fierce, their spirit shaking the heavens.

It seemed as though even the earth and sky trembled before this war song, a legacy that embodied the spirit of the Hua Clan for a thousand years.

The overcast sky gradually tore open, allowing beams of sunlight to stream down directly onto Chen Xiuhe’s tomb.

Many were stunned by this extraordinary vision.

An Yan whispered gently, “Rushi, no more tears. Do you see? Mr. Chen must be resting contentedly at the sight of this!”

Chen Rushi wiped the tears from her face, her expression slowly hardening with resolve. “Sister Yan, I understand! I’ve cried all the tears I have in these past few days. From this moment forward, I, Chen Rushi, will shed no more tears!”

After the poem was recited, Xue An turned to face everyone and spoke calmly, “Today, I killed two men! Two mere mortals!”

All fell silent.

Xue An continued, “Technically, with my status, these two were not worth my time! But I killed them anyway. Do you know why?”

Everyone was utterly silent, all eyes fixed on Xue An.

Xue An turned to glance at Chen Xiuhe’s tomb and said quietly, “Because these men, while Mr. Chen’s body was not yet cold, dared to covet his estate, even stooping to vile means to target a loyal and valiant progeny!”

“Such people, tell me, do they deserve death or not?”

Cheng Hao of the Fire Phoenix stepped forward and said in a deep voice, “They deserve death!”

The crowd began to echo in agreement, “Yes, they deserve it!”

“Well done!”

Xue An smiled faintly, his gaze sweeping over everyone, then spoke with icy sternness, “I don’t care who you are, nor your status or rank, but if anyone dares slander or target martyrs who sacrificed themselves for the Hua Clan…”

With a flick of his hand, Xue An sent a sword light slashing forth, cleaving a nearby mountain peak in half.

Amid the thunderous sound of the collapsing mountain,

Xue An stated coolly, “My sword does not spare lives!”

A chilling fear spread through the crowd, and those with guilty consciences quivered with fear, hastily abandoning their treacherous thoughts.

Xue An then glanced at the Fire Phoenix operatives and commanded, “Fire Phoenix Special Forces, heed my order!”

“Present!” Cheng Hao and the others responded in unison, clasping their hands together.

“After I depart from this world, if anyone dares to wantonly slander the honored dead of the Hua Clan… show them no mercy!”

“Yes!” The Fire Phoenix operatives responded in chorus.

Zhou Daniu caressed his shiny bald head, grinning viciously, “Don’t worry, sir. If anyone dares, I’ll be the first to twist their head off!”
