C10 The Scapegoat

Chen Yu was only a bit surprised when Fang Zhongming died, but his expression soon became calm and didn't have any unease.

The family of four looked at Chen Yu, speechless.

Soong Jilian's expression was livid as his body lightly trembled.

Chen Wenfaang was the first to speak. He broke the strange atmosphere and said, "Yu, come behind me!"

"Chen Wenfaang, do you know what you did?" After confirming that Fang Zhongming's breathing was dead and it was impossible to save him again, he yelled in a stern voice: "You actually dared to kill someone from the Su Family. Do you know what the consequences would be?"

"So be it!" Chen Wenfaang's eyes flashed and he spoke with a cold tone. His momentum was like a mountain. It was so oppressive that no one could breathe. "You dare to have any ideas about my son. I will kill you even if you had to do so!"

"Good, good, very good!" Soong Jilian trembled with anger, and said: "Your Chen Family, just wait for your clan to be exterminated!"

"What did you say?" Chen Wenfaang stared at Soong Jilian with a murderous look in his eyes. A strong killing intent emerged as his true qi fluctuated violently.

"Brother Chen!" Seeing that Chen Wenfaang was about to make a move again, two figures flashed and appeared in front of Soong Jilian. They were Ye Xingyan and Gu Tong from the Fourth surname Family.

As for Zhang Chaolin and Xu Guanhou from the other four surnamed families, although they had already stood up with the help of their family members, they were covering their chests with their hands and looking dispirited.

The chaos just now did not last long as Chen Wenfaang displayed the powerful strength of half a step into Heavenly Dipper. In just a moment, he had repelled Soong Jilian, sent Zhang Chaolin and Xu Guanhou flying, and killed Fang Zhongming.

Half-step Heavenly Dipper. As its name implied, it was a realm that stood above the Qi Condensation, and was only half a step away from it.

Feeling Chen Wenfaang's killing intent, Soong Jilian clenched his teeth, grabbed Fang Zhongming's corpse and said: "Let's go!"

"Bye!" Chen Wenfaang did not attack again and said with a sneer.

Soong Jilian did not dare to say anything else. He grabbed Fang Zhongming's corpse and left. The other four surnamed leaders also left one after another. Each of them had more or less a dejected look on their faces.

The last one to leave was Gu Family Patriarch Gu Tong. He looked deeply at Chen Wenfaang and said: "Brother Chen, this time there's no room for compromise. It's better for you to plan ahead!"

Chen Wenfaang nodded and didn't say anything.

Gu Tong didn't say anything more. Sighing lightly, he turned to Chen Yu and said: "Chen Yu, Gu Chen actually doesn't want to sully your reputation. I was the one who locked him up, our Gu Family is not yours, sigh!"

Chen Yu smiled at Gu Tong and said, "No worries, Uncle Gu is being too serious!"

Only then did Gu Tong turn around and leave.

All the outsiders have left, Chen Wenfaang was still staring at the door silently.

"I didn't expect things to turn out like this. This is going to be troublesome!" A slender Chen Clansman who was close to forty years old said: "Third brother, what should we do?"

"Wen Ting, go and pacify the clansmen and tell them the whole story. Yes, close all our shops in the Fortress of Five Names and recall all our people. After that, he opened the warehouse and distributed all the accumulated Medicine Pill s and cultivation resources to the people, urging them to increase their strength as much as possible. As for the other countermeasures, allow me to think of them! "

"Alright!" Chen Wentine's expression shook and he nodded in agreement. Then, he went out with the others, full of worry.

Only the father and son were left in the room.

"Dad!" Chen Yu shouted.

"Yu!" Chen Wenfaang turned around and looked at Chen Yu's face. He seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Are you hurt?"

Chen Yu shook his head and said, "Dad, I'm sorry. I made such a thing the moment I came back!"

Chen Yu clearly saw the conflict just now. If he didn't return home at this time, things wouldn't have developed to this point.

Because of Chen Yu's return, Soong Jilian knew that it was impossible to convince Chen Wenfaang to take the blame for Su Xu, so he wanted to capture Chen Yu to force Chen Wenfaang to submit.

However, Fang Zhongming, who was in charge of capturing Chen Yu alive, had underestimated Chen Yu. After being heavily injured by Chen Yu's slash and killed in one move by Chen Wenfaang, who had attacked in anger …

People with Su Family, even if they were insignificant servants, could not be casually moved. The consequences of Fang Zhongming's death could completely be imagined.

Before Soong Jilian left, his words of Chen Family waiting to be destroyed was not a false threat, but a very likely fact.

"What does it have to do with you? Could it be that if someone else were to attack us, we will just sit there and wait for death and not resist at all? " Hearing Chen Yu's words without remorse, Chen Wenfaang suddenly smiled and said: "This is not our Chen Family's style of doing things. Our Chen Family, we never lose out, no matter who we face!"

Chen Yu's heart warmed.

"Right, when did your blade become so sharp? It was actually able to heavily injure Fang Zhongming with one slash?" Chen Wenfaang asked.

"That was just a coincidence!" Chen Yu said, "That Fang Zhongming looked down on your son too much. He thought that your son couldn't sense his presence in the strange black fog, but your son clearly sensed his real body. With a slash of his blade, he was caught off guard and was injured!"

"Fang Zhongming's Concealment Fog Technique can also be considered a miraculous technique of Su Family. I never thought that there would be such a backlash!" Chen Wenfaang sat on a good chair and asked: "Hmm, how did you get out from under the claws of the Black Scale Fox?"

Chen Yu then explained the reason for him to get lost in the swamp again. He then explained how he met Chen Lee and Chen Feng on the way back and was ambushed by the Eagle Feathers Sect's team.

"Huo Ying is courting death. It would be too easy for him to die by your hands. As for the people backing him, those four are the only ones who can't escape!" Chen Wenfaang snorted coldly and said, "Judging from their performance just now, Zhang Chaolin and Xu Guanhou are the most suspicious. Although it is temporarily uncertain, I will find out once I investigate!"

Chen Yu nodded his head and did not pursue this topic, and asked: "The Su Family hinted to the Four Great Families to turn black and white, is it just to protect Su Xu's reputation?"

Chen Wenfaang shook his head, "Of course it's more than that. Su Xu's father was Su Qingfeng, the eldest son of Su Family Second Elder Su Xuankong. Not only was he an expert at the seventh floor of the Heavenly Astral Stage, he was also one of the five people who held great authority in the Su Family and vied for the position of Sect Master. The position of Su Family Sect Master has already hung in the air for twenty years due to the fight between the five elders. They have reached an agreement that the new Sect Master would be born from the core members of Su Qingfeng's generation. "

Chen Yu's mood suddenly became heavy, and said: "Su Xu's performance is too poor, and easily becomes the truth for the other factions in Su Family to attack Su Qingfeng and accuse him of inheriting the position of sect master. That's why Su Qingfeng got the other four surnamed Liu to go back on their side, and look for our Chen Family to take the blame, turning black into white, and swapping the roles I played with Su Xu?"

Chen Wenfaang said, "That's right. Other than that, there was another reason. Amongst the people who died under the claws of the Black Scale Fox, other than the people from Su Family, there were also the core disciples of the Jiang and Cui Families. The Jiang and Cui Family were both subordinate families of the Su Family and powerful supporters of Su Qingfeng. The core disciples of these two families have died, but Su Xu is still alive. Su Qingfeng must give them an explanation, even if it's just an explanation in name! "

Hearing that, Chen Yu clenched his fist and said while clenching his teeth: "They're really determined to use Chen Family as a scapegoat!"

"Therefore, this matter doesn't have much to do with you. Before you came back, I had already made up my mind that I would never be the scapegoat no matter what! " Chen Wenfaang said: "Originally, I was still dealing with Soong Jilian and the four surnamed family, we can calculate as long as we can delay. But now that Fang Zhongming has died in my hands, Su Qingfeng will completely lose his patience and directly send over an expert from Heavenly Astral Stage!"

Chen Yu was speechless.

"Yu, you don't have to blame yourself!" Chen Wenfaang said: "In the end, we can only blame our Chen Family s being too weak and weak, and our foundations being too weak. "Strength is the foundation of the Southern Wasteland, you must remember this point. Without enough strength, do not expect revenge!"

"Hmm? Father, what do you mean? " Chen Yu asked after hearing that.

Chen Wenfaang's gaze fell on his son, revealing a tired expression, he said: "This, our Chen Family can't pass. Go and prepare, your brother and a few of the most talented young clansmen will leave the five-surnamed castle and escape from the area of influence of the Minglan City tonight!"
