Chapter 341 - Wipe Out

“Bang! Bang!”

With two loud bang, the surrounding trees trembled. The Qingluan and Ziyun’er were once again bashed up. Although they had the strength of the pre-Nascent Soul Realm, in front of this copper man, they were defenseless.

“Be careful!”

As the copper man was about to kill the two sisters, Xiao Chen used the Immortal-override Steps and blocked in front of them.

“Ice Dragon!”

Xiao Chen’s two palms pushed, and in an instant, roars of dragon shook the sky, the temperature around them suddenly dropped. The things within the thirty feet together with the copper man were frozen right away.

Through the layer of ice, Xiao Chen finally took a clear look at the copper man. His eyes were lifeless, and there was a “Gold” inscription on his forehead, between his eyebrows was a faint activity of talisman. It was a kind of puppet, but not a Corpse Puppet. It did not have that evil aura of a Corpse Puppet on it.

Seeing that the puppet had stopped moving, Xiao Chen finally let out a sigh of relief and turned to look at Qingluan and Ziyun’er. “Are you hurt badly?”

Qingluan wiped the blood off her mouth and said, “I’m fine…” then she yelled suddenly, “Be careful, my Lord!” and rushed up right after.

With a loud bang, the layer of ice broke. Xiao Chen hurriedly turned around, and without thinking, he smashed out the Cyan Dragon Roars. However, the puppet bypassed him in an instant yet again and went gave Qingluan a blow. The blow hit on Qingluan’s abdomen causing her to spew out blood as she flew backward.

“Sister!” Ziyun’er cried, and hastily summoned her Bloodied Violet Blade. However, before she could hold it, she was being punched in the abdomen as well. She too vomited blood and flew out, breaking the four-arms-length big tree behind her into half.

Xiao Chen seemed to understand something. This puppet would only attack the girls and not him. He shouted, “It does not attack me! Leave now!”

The girls then cast a hand spell and were about to make their escape in the northwest direction when the copper man teleported over. It hit them with an incredible force and they flew out again, the gravels on the pathway splattered.

“What is this…” Xiao Chen’s eyes were shocked, and the Blood Lotus Demon Blade was smashed, and the blood-red knife was as long as 100 feet. In this dust, there is quite a power to destroy the earth. However, I saw that the copper man’s arm was lifted and slammed, and Xiao’s Nascent Soul’s power could not cause any harm to him.

In a blink of an eye, the copper man once again got around Xiao Chen. Its two fists were like a meteor as they hit at the heads of two lying in the pile of stones. If this fist went down, the two sisters were dead for sure!

At the most critical moment, a powerful voice could be heard from the top, “Gold Puppet! Stop!”

The wind stopped, and the copper man suddenly stopped moving. The left and right fists were only three inches away from the forehead of the two sisters. The two girls looked at the golden fists in front of them blankly. Their life was hanging by the thread just a second ago.

Xiao Chen quickly lifted the two sisters and looked up at the top of the mountain road. In the gentle breeze stood a middle-aged man with greyish sideburns, and his sleeves sway with the wind. The middle-aged man was shocked and happy at the same time. Four disciples of Xiao family followed behind.

“Father!” “Chen’er!”

The two voices sounded at the same time. The father and the son ran towards each other and embraced. Although they were only apart for a year, Xiao Chen had experienced numerous lives and deaths, and it had seemed like a decade.

“Chen’er, you have grown taller. Let me take a good look at you, how have you been?” Xiao Yifan was so excited that his eyes were teary. He looked at the boy who had now grown into a man, he did not know what to say anymore.

“I have been fine, very fine…” Xiao Chen replied as he started to choke with sobs. In the Violet Manor, who else would care for him like his father… Suddenly, he remembered the thrilling scene that happened just now, then he turned and pointed the motionless puppet, saying, “Daddy, what’s that?”

Xiao Yifan also looked over and muttered, “Gold Puppet has never been like this before; what is going on today…” Then he looked at the two sisters and said, “How are your injuries?”

Qingluan and Ziyun’er looked at each other and shook their heads together. Xiao Yifan turned his head and asked Xiao Chen, “Chen’er, who are these two girls?”

“They are the friends I made in the Violet Manor.”

Xiao Yifan looked at the two sisters and bowed. “Apologies to you two. Please come with me to my humble house. I’ll get someone to heal you.”

Qingluan and Ziyun’er bowed and said, “Headmaster Xiao, you’re too kind.”

On the way, Xiao Chen learned that his father had temporarily served as the chieftain and asked, “Oh right, father, where did this puppet come from?”

Xiao Yifan smiled and said, “This is a long story. Not long after you left, a girl in white came. The girl did not say who she was and gave me five puppets of the five elements. Along with them, she passed some control techniques to me, saying that these puppets can identify the enemy on their own. She told me to put them in the different corners of Xiao family for defense purposes…” Then he paused and turn to the girls and said, “I’m very sorry.”

Qingluan and Ziyun’er frowned deeply and kept quiet.

Xiao Chen took a deep breath. The last time the Xiao family was almost destroyed by Skygale Sect, the girl in white who had such powerful puppets. In this Human World, the only person he could think of was Bai Susu. But why would she help him again and again? Who was she…

As they were near the Fly Cloud Court, they saw many disciples of the Xiao family crowding outside the court. These people were all alarmed by the fighting sounds at the mountain foot.

Xiao Yifan said happily, “Chen’er, it’s not easy for you to finally return. I will arrange a welcoming dinner for you.” Xiao Chen forced a smile and said, “This is my home, and you’re being too formal.”

Xiao Yifan laughed and smacked his own head and said, “I am too happy. See! I’m even sprouting nonsense now. You are back home! What welcoming dinner for the guest, haha!”

More and more people gathered in the Fly Cloud Court. It was obvious that these people would no longer call Xiao Chen’s nickname “Undead Chen” for now. They were also very happy about Xiao Chen’s return.

Xiao Yifan first arranged a place for Qingluan and Ziyun’er to rest, then he sent them many more elixirs personally. When it was twilight, everyone gathered in the Water Immortal Pavilion. Lil Ruo was in tears of joy to see the return of her Young Master. Xiao Chen on the other hand, could not help but think of the days when he was with the three princes at Sunset Peak. It made him sad.

The table was full of dishes on the table, Qingluan and Ziyun’er were there as well. Xiao Chen’s cousin Xiao Yu also came. Only Xiao Chen’s mother, Su Qing was missing. Xiao Yifan sighed, “How is your mother doing in the Su family?”

Xiao Chen smiled and said, “Yes, mother is doing well. She wants you to take care of your body, and she will come back if she has a chance.”

“Oh…” Xiao Yifan sighed, thinking that there was probably not a chance anymore. He forced a smile and said: “Did you see your grandfather? Did he make things difficult for you…”

Xiao Chen smiled. He did not meet Su Ying of the Su family and instead, he had met aunt Su Yue. He smiled and said, “Yes, they are nice people…” .

Beside them, Xiao Yu said, “Aye, that’s enough. The kid finally made a trip back, don’t talk about unhappy stuff.” Lil Ruo agreed and said, “Yep, that right. Young Master, eat more.” Then she looked at him with her big eyes and asked, “The Young Master will not leave this time right?”

After a moment of silence, Xiao Chen put down his chopsticks and said awkwardly, “I will be returning to the Violet Manor tomorrow…”

Xiao Yifan was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and said, “It’s nothing, eat more.” As he spoke, he brought many dishes into Xiao Chen’s bowl. They were all Xiao Chen’s favorite in the past.

After the meal, everyone left, and Xiao Chen did not return to the Purple Bine Pavilion. At night, the father and the son both chatted, and a bright moon gradually rose to the sky, and the moonlight quietly shining through the window.

In March, the spring was cooling and it was very cold in the middle of the night. Xiao Chen found a coat from the closet and put it on his father. At 1 a.m., the father and son went to bed and rested. Xiao Yifan drifted to sleep while talking, Xiao Chen, however, was so troubled that he could not sleep.

“Are these ties to the world?” When Master first named himself with a ‘Chen’ word, did he want him to hide from the world, or he had to live his life getting tied to the world?

The next day morning, Xiao Chen was ready to leave. Although he did not bear to leave, he eventually had to. After one night of treatment, Qingluan and Ziyun’er were almost recovered. Now that the Xiao family had the five puppets from Bai Susu guarding, Xiao Chen was at ease. It was just that he did not understand why the puppet would attack the two girls yesterday.

When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, outside the city, Qingluan asked, “Lord, where are we going next?”

There was a chill in the eyes of Xiao Chen, and he spoke the word coldly, “Revenge.”

In the afternoon, they had returned to the Three Pure Sect. To go to the Violet Manor time, he needed the help of the several elders to open the transmission channel. Xiao Chen’s current cultivation could not be compared to that big devil, Gu Feng that came out from the tomb of the Xiao family. He was unable to tear open the seal of the space Barrier.

Every parting had always been bitter, and this time was no exception. Bai Ying gave him a bronze mirror with Illusory Formation. The two spoke a lot, but Xiao Chen still entered the chaotic channel in the end.

Upon returning to the Violet Manor, Xiao Chen felt a heavy stone on his heart again, but this time the transmission did not make mistakes. Just outside Qingzhou City, Qingluan immediately called the other dozens of people of the Hidden Fragrance Wafting Under the Moon. Xiao Chen did not return to the Jade Qing Sect this time. The group of people directly took off to the Lingyun Citadel where the Ling Family stationed at with their flying sword.

Lingyun Citadel was a medium-sized city in the Violet Manor. It had a population of more than one million. Although it belonged to the Qing State, it was controlled by the Ling Family. Xiao Chen was here again. He came here with Luo Shangyan the last time. He only wanted to stay here for a night, so that Senior Sister Luo did not have to sleep in a cave with him. However, Ling Yuxuan came after them. Since the grudge started from here, it was also ending here.

In East City District, there was a long stretch of a mansion, the building was magnificent, and it had carvings all over it. It was where the Ling family located. The four guards in front of the house saw more than a dozen unidentified people coming over aggressively. One of them immediately took out his weapon and shouted, “Who are you! Do you not know where this is!”

“I know.” Xiao Chen bellowed.

“If you know, why are you still here? F*ck off! What are you going…” Before his voice fell, a cold light flashed. “Splat!” The man’s body and the head were separated. The blood was splattered ten feet high.

The other three were scared sh*tless. Xiao Chen raised his hand and squeezed it in the air, two people immediately turned into a bloody fog, and the last one was scared and incoherent, “Nascent, Nascent Soul!” Then he ran into the house quickly.

Many pedestrians in the city saw this scene as well and they started to flee. This Ling Family is the overlord of Lingyun Citadel. Who dared to kill in front of them? At this moment, no one would dare to stay for the drama.

A strange black Qi flashed past Xiao Chen’s eyebrows as he smirked and shouted, “Let that two old b*stards, Ling Ruoxu and Ling Yuanshan wash their necks speck and clean. I, Xiao Chen, has come to return a big gift!” Then he strode into the yard of the manor and the 12 people followed.

In less than a moment, nearly 100 people had arrived in the compound. Each person held a long sword. A golden light sword formation was formed with a frightful presence. Xiao Chen smiled coldly and leaped into the air. He flicked his sleeve and soon, thousands and thousands of sword radiance fell. At that moment, a bloody fog filled the air, and nearly 100 people were killed instantly.

In the distance, many disciples of the Ling Family who saw this scene were terrified. They had no idea what was happening. Xiao Chen laughed and looked a little crazy as he said, “Nascent Soul Realm slaughtering the Core Forming Realm, slaughtering the Foundation Building Realm is terrific, isn’t it? Then you should have a taste of it yourself!” Then he pointed at the 12 people of Hidden Fragrance Wafting Under the Moon and shouted, “Kill! Kill them all!”
