Chapter 951: Chapter 951: The Great Battle of the Zhong Family
The entrance of the Zhong Family mansion.
Shi Ke nonchalantly led Liu Zixuan and Zhao Yi directly inside.
After a moment, a martial artist came up and laughed, "Master Shi San was just here two days ago, what’s the matter today..."
"Our family patriarch called, there’s a major issue that must be immediately discussed with your squad leader." Shi Ke said in a deep voice.
"What major issue?" The martial artist frowned and asked.
"It’s about Liu Zixuan, specifically I think as a mere manager, you’re not qualified to know, right?" Shi Ke’s voice turned cold, a unique martial artist’s pressure swept over him.
The Zhong Family manager’s body shuddered, quickly nodding, "Alright, I’ll take you to see the squad leader now. But these two beside you..."
"They were directly dispatched by our family patriarch from headquarters." Shi Ke said coldly.
"Directly sent from headquarters, and related to Liu Zixuan, has he left Lingxiu Village?" The manager asked in amazement.
"So why are you still wasting time here?" Shi Ke said directly, leading Liu Zixuan and Zhao Yi inside.
The manager didn’t dare hesitate any longer, leading them past various obstacles, straight to the core of the Zhong Family.
During the journey, Zhao Yi glanced at Liu Zixuan and gradually understood why Liu Zixuan cooperated with the Shi Family.
If it weren’t for Shi Ke, just the two of them would likely not have made it to the inner areas of the Zhong Family before alerting the headquarters of the Celestial Dao Alliance. Now heading directly to the core of the Zhong Family undoubtedly saved a lot of trouble!
Soon, the manager led them to a reception room, respectfully saying, "Master Shi San, please wait a moment, I’ll go call the squad leader!"
"Quickly!" Shi Ke said as he sat down first.
Once the manager headed to the back, Shi Ke turned his head and whispered, "Those two Half-Step Emperor Realm martial artists were also sent from headquarters to assist the Zhong Family Patriarch, so if things go wrong later, we’ll have to rely on you two."
"Don’t worry." Liu Zixuan smiled with squinted eyes.
Soon, the manager returned with three men from the back hall. Leading them was a man similar in age to the Shi Family Patriarch—a familiar face to Liu Zixuan from the martial arts tournament. Of course, he wasn’t afraid of the Zhong Family Patriarch recognizing him; after all, it was time to act!
The men behind the Zhong Family Patriarch were the two Half-Step Emperor Realm martial artists mentioned by Shi Ke.
"Master San, what news did your family patriarch have you bring?" The Zhong Family Patriarch hurriedly walked over and asked.
"Liu Zixuan has left Lingxiu Village, heading straight for our Shi Family; Zhong Family Patriarch, you should know what that means, right?" Shi Ke asked in a deep voice.
The Zhong Family Patriarch immediately frowned, "Heading straight for the Shi Family in the first step, next is surely us, the Zhong Family?"
"Exactly."
The Zhong Family Patriarch nodded, inadvertently glancing at Liu Zixuan and Zhao Yi behind him, "These two are..."
"They were sent from headquarters to protect me and my brother." Shi Ke replied.
"Looks quite familiar." The Zhong Family Patriarch scrutinized Liu Zixuan, suddenly showing a somewhat exaggerated smile, "Look at me coming in such a hurry, I forgot to instruct someone to brew tea. No matter how urgent the matter is, we can’t neglect Master San. Sit for a moment, I’ll go brew the tea!"
"Squad Leader Zhong, brewing tea is not something a big shot like you should be doing personally, right?"
Liu Zixuan immediately exposed the Zhong Family Patriarch’s lie. What brewing tea? It was clearly because he recognized Liu Zixuan’s identity and wanted to go alert someone!
"What you said, this is Master San, and you two are esteemed guests from headquarters, naturally, I must go personally!" The Zhong Family Patriarch feigned calmness.
"No need to bother."
Liu Zixuan stepped forward and directly grabbed the Zhong Family Patriarch’s shoulder, "Since you’ve figured it out, why don’t we just put everything out in the open!"
"Shi San, you dare betray the Celestial Dao Alliance, aren’t you afraid the headquarters will destroy your Shi Family?"
Since Liu Zixuan put it this way, the Zhong Family Patriarch was lazy to keep pretending. After breaking free from Liu Zixuan’s hand, his expression immediately turned sinister.
Shi Ke sneered, "Betray? Zhong Qianming, you dare talk to me about betrayal? If you hadn’t falsely promised a bunch of benefits and tricked our Shi Family into trusting you, your Zhong Family should have been wiped out decades ago, right?"
"We owe the Shi Family a debt of gratitude, but we’ve repaid it, and even had my daughter marry your son!" The Zhong Family Patriarch retorted.
"Hmph!"
Shi Ke sneered, "Indeed, my son married your daughter, but why did my son lose his legs within a year of their marriage, and then suddenly die?!"
"You... you know it all?" The Zhong Family Patriarch asked in shock.
"My son was killed by your Zhong Family and the He Family’s conspiracy, just because the He Family’s young master also took a liking to your daughter, and even had a child with that damned woman. My son was killed because he found out about this!" Shi Ke slammed the table fiercely, "Do you admit to all of this?"
"Hahaha." The Zhong Family Patriarch smiled sinisterly, "Yes, I admit it. So what? Currently, your Shi Family’s influence is the weakest in headquarters while we’re allied with the He Family. What can you do?"
So after all this time, there’s still this enmity between these two families, it seems the few major powers and families aren’t as harmonious as they appear on the surface!
Liu Zixuan mused; the green hat on Shi Ke’s son wasn’t light at all!
Lost in thought, Liu Zixuan stood beside Shi Ke, arrogantly smiling, "How Master Shi San deals with this, I don’t know, but I do know your dream will shatter today!"
"Is that so?" The Zhong Family Patriarch stepped back two steps, fiercely shouting, "Liu Zixuan, you killed my son that day, and now you come willingly today; might as well clear Shi San’s account and yours together!"
"Everyone come out!"
With Zhong Family Patriarch’s loud call, more than twenty martial artists rushed in from outside the reception room, while the two Half-Step Emperor Realm martial artists guarded the Zhong Family Patriarch.
"Brother Zixuan, leave these small fries to me, leave the foul-mouthed old thing for you to play with!"
Zhao Yi grinned, drawing out the Celestial Spirit Saber, the blade’s chill instantly burst forth, directly targeting those martial artists.
Liu Zixuan shrugged, looking at the Zhong Family Patriarch, "That day I killed your son, today I’ll kill you, let you father and son reunite in hell."
"Stop him, I’m going to notify the patriarch!" The Zhong Family Patriarch shouted, preparing to flee.
Liu Zixuan raised a brow, swiftly evading the two Half-Step Emperor Realm martial artists, grabbing the Zhong Family Patriarch’s shoulder with a fierce tug, lifting him up, "Perhaps you can wait for your patriarch on the Yellow Springs Road!"
