Chapter 540: Chapter 531: Chu Family Patriarch — Chu Zhu

Chu Family, the largest clan in Starshine City, known as the brotherly home to the Tai Family.

At this moment, the arrival of the Chu Family made everyone who thought the Tai Family would perish tonight feel relieved, believing that the Tai Family was fortunate, for the Chu Family had come to their aid.

Even the members of the Tai Family, whose previous sadness was swept away as soon as the Chu Family martial artists arrived under the leadership of Chu Family Patriarch Chu Zhu.

Some people from the Tai Family, after their initial sorrow, even burst into a hearty laugh.

They were saved, the Tai Family would not fall this night!

The Tai Family members had full confidence in the Chu Family, for they all knew the true strength of Chu Family Patriarch Chu Zhu.

Shining like shooting stars, dazzling lights began to linger in the night sky above the members of the Tai Family, dispersing to reveal several figures.

There were fifteen people in total, each exuding a powerful aura.

This... was a group of Martial Venerable Realm martial artists, with the highest Martial Arts Cultivation among them being an elderly man with a head of white hair, a majestic face, wearing a golden robe, and a golden cape fluttering behind him.

This man was none other than Chu Zhu, the most authoritative person in Starshine City, the Patriarch of the Chu Family, the city’s foremost power.

At this moment, Chu Zhu stood with his arms crossed, looking down, his golden cape billowing in the night wind, like a king making his descent.

The other fourteen strong members of the Chu Family, ranging from One-star Martial Venerate to Six-star Martial Venerate, stood in line behind the Family Patriarch, Chu Zhu, also looking down with a demeaning gaze toward Shi Feng and the Tai Family.

At that moment, these Chu Family martial artists looked down at the black-clad figure below them, Shi Feng, with a mocking smile.

Shi Feng hadn’t expected that he would meet these people from the Chu Family here, as he originally intended to visit and check on Chu Family’s beautiful daughter.

However, among these people, Shi Feng did not see the girl, nor her beautiful mother or her father.

Looking up at these members of the Chu Family, Shi Feng spoke, "Does your Chu Family have a girl named Chu Xin, and her father named Chu Yue?"

"Chu Xin? Chu Yue?" Hearing Shi Feng’s words, Chu Zhu, the Chu Family Patriarch, showed a disdainful sneer and said, "You know Chu Xin and Chu Yue?"

"Ha ha!" Following that, Chu Zhu shook his head slightly and chuckled, saying, "Boy, do you think that knowing those two traitors, Chu Xin and Chu Yue, will spare your life tonight? Ha ha, tonight, your audacity in my Starshine City, completely disregarding the Chu Family, it will be difficult for you to escape death tonight!"

After Chu Zhu finished speaking, the fourteen Chu Family martial artists behind him showed even greater mocking smiles. This ignorant boy, who unexpectedly mentioned the name of the renegade Chu Yue. If he hadn’t mentioned it, it might have been alright, but now, whether he genuinely knows the traitors or not, the Patriarch probably won’t spare him tonight.

"Chu Family traitors?" Upon hearing these four words from Chu Zhu, Shi Feng’s expression gradually turned cold as he coldly responded, "How are they now?"

"How?" Chu Zhu, hearing Shi Feng’s words, sneered and said, "Boy, you better understand your own situation first."

"Chu Xin! So he knows our Starshine City’s number one beauty, Chu Xin!" At this moment, a martial artist from the distance exclaimed upon hearing Shi Feng’s words.

Chu Xin, the number one beauty of Starshine City from the Chu Family, was well-known throughout the city, especially among men.

"But I heard that some time ago in Starshine City, the father of Chu Xin, the city’s number one beauty, Chu Yue, who had been missing for over a decade, returned to Starshine City; shortly afterward, rumors of Chu Yue’s rebellion started to emerge from the Chu Family. No one knows what has happened within their family."

"You might not know this. The previous Family Head of the Chu Family, Chu Shang, was Chu Yue’s father. However, only a short while after Chu Yue vanished, it was also rumored that Chu Shang had gone missing. Later on, Chu Zhu ascended to the position of the Chu Family Patriarch. There must certainly be something fishy about this.

Logically speaking, when Chu Shang disappeared, Chu Yue should have inherited the position of Family Head, but since Chu Yue had disappeared even earlier, the role fell into the hands of Chu Zhu. Now that Chu Yue has returned to the Chu Family, do you think Chu Zhu would easily let him settle peacefully into the family?"

Those who knew some of the Chu Family’s secrets began to speak up.

Shi Feng, seeing that the old man he had addressed had not answered him, coldly spoke again: "You senile old fool! I am speaking to you!"

"How dare you!"

"How dare you!"

"How dare you disrespect the Chu Family Patriarch! You wish to die so soon!"

As Shi Feng’s words fell, the fourteen Chu Family martial artists standing behind Chu Zhu, the Chu Family Patriarch, immediately showed anger on their faces, pointing at Shi Feng from below, their cold shouts filled with murderous intent resounding.

In Starshine City, this was the first time they had encountered someone so reckless and insistent on courting death.

However, Chu Zhu did not get angry like the others from the Chu Family. Instead, he continued to look down coldly at Shi Feng, saying, "Such a young age, yet able to push the Tai Family to such a state; truly a rare young genius! However..."

When he got to ’however,’ Chu Zhu suddenly paused, and after a moment, slowly continued, "Such a genius, tonight you will meet an early demise here!"

After finishing his statement, Chu Zhu’s right hand formed a Sword Finger, pointing towards the dark figure below.

Instantly, just above Shi Feng’s head, a dense cluster of golden flower petals shimmering with golden light appeared, rapidly scattering down towards Shi Feng below.

This move was one of the martial skills cultivated by Chu Zhu from the Chu Family, Golden Flower Sky.

Although this martial skill was beautiful, for Shi Feng, each of these golden petals was like a golden sword, enveloping him and swiftly slashing downwards.

"Hmph!" Faced with a strike from a Nine-star Martial Venerable, Shi Feng, powering his Full Moon Scimitar with Nine Nether Power, swept it horizontally above, revealing a dazzling blade light.

Under the dazzling light of the Full Moon Scimitar, the dense, rapidly falling golden petals were completely obliterated in this blade light.

"What?"

"How... How is this possible!"

In the night sky, the members of the Chu Family, seeing the golden petals falling towards the youth effortlessly dismissed, the Family Patriarch Chu Zhu let out a cry of astonishment while each of the Chu Family martial artists showed an expression of disbelief.

The strike of a Nine-star Martial Venerable Patriarch Chu Zhu was actually broken by a mere teenager who seemed to be only fifteen or sixteen—how could this be possible!

After expressing his astonishment, Chu Zhu’s gaze intensified on Shi Feng, then his eyes quickly brightened, an extremely joyous expression appearing on his elderly face, smiling, he said, "In this world, there actually exists such a divine artifact, the rank of which even I cannot discern! And you, a mere Seven-star Martial Venerate, wielding such a divine artifact, have broken my strike! Excellent! This is truly magnificent!"
