Chapter 909: Chapter 909: A Woman Driven Mad
A troop surrounded a household, and the front door was blown off directly.
Ninth Awakening cultivator soldiers rushed in, taking over the entire courtyard. A woman in a black dress, with a veil, strolled in as if the stars revolved around her.
The woman looked at the closed doors of the house, and with just one glance, the door burst into pieces.
Everyone’s gaze turned towards the inside of the house, and what they saw made both the soldiers and the woman pause slightly.
The interior of the house was not what they imagined, nor were the people they expected there. Instead, a young man sat on a chair, facing the door, and made eye contact with the veiled woman from a distance.
"Chen Guan?" Feng Wuci frowned involuntarily.
The information she received clearly stated that Chen Guan had already gone to the Ji Family’s Great Cave Heaven; how was he here again?
Her hatred for Chen Guan was deep, but she knew that killing him wouldn’t be easy.
When women go mad, men indeed don’t matter much.
She actually dared to challenge the world’s norms by directly using her power in the Divine Land to capture Chen Guan’s parents.
This was extremely taboo even among the Ten Great Families.
Whether an ordinary cultivator family or one of the Ten Great Families, they must struggle within the Secret Realm.
If when they’re inside the Secret Realm, their parents, wives, and children are killed in the Divine Land, nobody could tolerate such a thing.
The Ten Great Families accepted the existence of the Ancestral Court’s Chief Judge and granted the Chief Judge some rights to override the Ten Great Families in certain aspects to ensure the Divine Land’s order.
Now, Feng Wuci was utterly insane, and soon she wouldn’t have much to do with the Ancestral Court; she had no scruples, and the court’s credibility no longer mattered to her.
But now she discovered that Chen Guan, who was supposed to be at the Great Cave Heaven, appeared here.
"Madam Qi, it seems the person you came to my house to find is not me, then who are you looking for?" Chen Guan’s eyes hid murder.
He guessed that someone like Feng Wuci would certainly not let him go, and transferring his parents was a precaution.
But for Feng Wuci to really go this mad and actually do such a thing, he was still a bit surprised, and the killing intent in his heart filled his chest.
Since Feng Wuci went to such lengths, he no longer needed to have any restraints.
"Chen Guan, you shouldn’t be enemies with the Ancestral Court or with me." Feng Wuci coldly stared at Chen Guan and said.
"Madam Qi, you are no longer associated with the Ancestral Court, so do not confuse yourself with it," Chen Guan casually said, stabbing a knife into Feng Wuci’s heart.
The breathing under Feng Wuci’s veil noticeably became quicker, and she stared at Chen Guan tightly, saying, "Currently, my man is still the lord of the Ancestral Court, while you may not live to see the day I have nothing to do with the court."
"Are you saying you want to kill me now?" Chen Guan calmly said, "This is the Divine Land; if you attack me here, even if you kill me, the Ten Great Families won’t let you off."
"I am the Ten Great Families," Feng Wuci sneered.
"I forgot, Madam Qi is from the Feng Family. I just wonder if the Celestial King Feng can protect you, his daughter, who has disturbed the order and rules of the Divine Land," Chen Guan taunted.
"In this lifetime, your concerns are unnecessary for a denizen of the underworld like you." Feng Wuci said, as her black sleeves waved, and boundless darkness instantly enveloped the entire courtyard, as if moving it into an endless dark void.
"Kill him." Feng Wuci gave the order to execute Chen Guan.
The well-trained soldiers instantly formed a battle array. The terrifying secret law and primordial energy surged upon them, weaving together.
The battle array formed by the Ninth Awakening cultivators, the power of the Army Skill they used together, was unimaginable to ordinary people.
"The Void Night Veil truly lives up to its reputation, actually able to directly shift a courtyard into the void. In this world, perhaps only you, Madam Qi, can do such a thing." Chen Guan looked at the increasing brilliance on the Ninth Awakening powerhouses, yet still did not get up from his chair.
He continued to sit there, with one leg crossed over the other, examining Madam Qi with interest.
Ever since opposing Qi Tianxin and Feng Wuci, Chen Guan had been diligently collecting intelligence on them. He was somewhat knowledgeable about this Madam Qi.
This Madam Qi’s talent was among the best in the Feng Family; her achievements were unmatched within the family.
Her Celestial Destiny Secret Treasure, the Void Night Veil, could directly entrap people or objects into the dark void.
Whatever happened there, people outside would never know.
"It’s too late to regret now; you must die." Feng Wuci resolutely gave the order.
The battle array formed by the Ninth Awakening cultivator soldiers mercilessly unleashed their Army Skill.
The Army Skill used cooperatively by over one hundred Ninth Awakening cultivators unleashed freely in the void, creating unimaginable destruction.
Chen Guan continued to sit without moving, leaning back against the chair with a relaxed posture, watching the terrifying power, as bright as a volcanic eruption, strike.
He toyed with a bead chain with one hand, rolling the beads between his fingers as if handling prayer beads.
As the terrifying Army Skill transformed into a devouring force blasting down, a jade bead at Chen Guan’s fingertips emitted a glow.
The devastating energy transformed into a tornado, with its tail landing on that jade bead.
In an instant, the terrifying energy was absorbed into the jade bead and disappeared without a trace, without causing any damage or affecting anything, vanishing silently.
Feng Wuci’s face shifted slightly; she knew Chen Guan was strong and had heard of his abilities from Qi Tianxin.
However, Chen Guan’s current performance was even more impressive than Qi Tianxin described, and his abilities seemed different from what Qi Tianxin had told her.
Handling such weight with ease, Chen Guan effortlessly absorbed the combined energy of over one hundred Ninth Awakening cultivators’ Army Skill, thanks to the Secret Realm bead.
Chen Guan easily absorbed the energy into the Secret Realm bead by merely utilizing the secret law of one bead.
Without Feng Wuci’s orders, the soldiers could only continue attacking.
More than one hundred Ninth Awakening cultivators continuously changed their Army Skill, unleashing unimaginable terrifying power time and again, weaving various secret laws, intending to kill Chen Guan on the spot.
However, Chen Guan remained seated, lightly fingering the Secret Realm bead, and the terrifying energy was all absorbed by the bead, not harming Chen Guan in the slightest.
Among those more than one hundred secret laws, many could kill invisibly, yet none could affect Chen Guan.
Feng Wuci’s face grew increasingly grim; she never imagined Chen Guan could be this powerful.
Looking at Chen Guan sitting on the chair, watching her with a faint smile, Feng Wuci felt a sudden chill in her heart.
She suddenly felt fear; before this, Feng Wuci never thought Chen Guan could pose a threat to her.
But now, Chen Guan seemed like a venomous beast, ready to tear and devour her flesh and blood at any moment.
