C13 It Made People's Hair Stand on End
Chu Feng and Qinger walked in front. The few elders followed behind Chu Feng. Along the way, these elders did not make things difficult for Chu Feng and Qinger.
Many people from the Chu family saw this scene, and all of them revealed surprised expressions. "What did these seniors do? They were led by the young patriarch to the direction of the ancestral mansion?"
The faces of the few elders sent by the Third Master darkened. They had only asked Chu Feng to walk in front of them in order to prevent any conflict from happening out of nowhere. They never thought that in the eyes of the other Chu family people, it would be Chu Feng who led them to the ancestral mansion to denounce them.
This happened to be the opposite of what they expected.
It was as if they were the prisoners of Chu Feng.
"All of you shut up!" The few elders berated. The juniors were dumbfounded. They had no idea how they had provoked these seniors.
However, those youngsters still shut their mouths because even though these elders were not elders, they were very close to Third Master. As for those who were related to Third Master, they were all existences that couldn't be provoked.
In the Chu family's ancestral mansion.
In the mansion, there were a few old men with white hair. These old men were all wearing the robes of the elders of Chu family. Their identities were obvious - the elders of the Chu family's elder group!
In front of these elders was the current Minister of Finance of Chu family, Third Master Chu.
Third Master Chu's face was gloomy. Under that gloomy expression, there was a trace of suppressed anger hidden, like a volcano that was about to erupt.
Next to Third Master Chu stood the little fatty, Chu Sansheng. At this moment, Chu Sansheng's face was ashen, as if he had encountered a great fear in his life. He had a depressed expression on his face.
Enveloped by Third Master Chu's angry and cold aura, the entire courtyard exuded a sense of oppression and killing intent, as if something big was about to happen. Those servants were also trembling with fear as they hid in the distance, not daring to approach.
"Creak!"
At this time, the sound of a door being pushed opened broke the somber atmosphere of the ancestral mansion. Chu Feng and Qinger walked in.
The first thing Chu Feng felt was the oppressive and austerity of the courtyard. Chu Feng's chest felt like it was being pressed down by a huge rock, and he almost couldn't breathe.
"Something's strange." Chu Feng's heart shivered, and he smelled the subtle scent in the air.
"Someone, take down the criminal Chu Feng!"
As soon as Chu Feng arrived, a cold shout was heard. The voice came from a skinny middle-aged man.
"Yes!"
Immediately, many old men with powerful auras appeared in the ancestral mansion and surrounded Chu Feng.
When Chu Feng saw this scene, his heart sank. Something had happened to the Dark Dao Fruit. However, he didn't panic. Instead, he said calmly:
"Third Uncle, what is the meaning of this?"
"What do you mean? You still want to ask me? You crippled my son, you deserve to die ten thousand times, and you still dare to ask for a reason? "
Third Master Chu's angry shout was like a rolling heavenly thunder that exploded beside Chu Feng's ears, causing the entire courtyard to tremble. All the elders were startled by it.
He was very angry because Chu Sansheng was the son that Third Master Chu doted on the most. Usually, even he was reluctant to beat and scold ___. Whenever something happened, he would bear the responsibility for his youngest son. He would keep anything good for his son. The two houses that he gave Chu Feng back then were originally meant for Chu Sansheng... Third Master Chu's love for Chu Sansheng was famous in Chu family.
But now, the youngest son that he loved the most was crippled by Chu Feng, and he could no longer cultivate. One could imagine how furious Third Master Chu was!
The elders in the courtyard also revealed mocking smiles. "Our young patriarch is really calm. His ability to feign ignorance is truly admirable."
"Now, more than half of the Chu family knows about the young patriarch crippling Chu Sansheng, but this young patriarch doesn't seem to know about it. I have to say that his courage is commendable."
"Hehe, young man, you just don't know how to restrain yourself. This time, it's going to be a big deal! This time, the young patriarch can't be protected by him anymore!"
Those elders of Chu family revealed an inexplicable smile, as if they were taking pleasure in his misfortune. In the Chu family, Chu Feng was famous for being unwelcomed. Even the elders of these families were dissatisfied with Chu Feng. Now that Chu Feng had suffered a disaster, these elders were actually feeling very happy in their hearts.
They hoped that Chu Feng's young patriarch would be dismissed immediately. It would be best if they could use this matter to drag Chu Xiaotian into this matter. In that case, no one would be able to suppress them anymore.
"What should come has come..." Chu Feng's heart sank. Ever since he crippled Chu Sansheng, he had already expected this day to come. It was just that he didn't expect this day to come so soon.
"Chu Feng, according to the rules of the family, those who harm their own kind will receive the harshest punishment. Do you know your crime? " Third Master Chu shouted.
"It's not my fault. Before you convict me, did you ask Chu Sansheng what he had done?" Chu Feng said in a deep voice.
"I don't care what reason you have. How dare you cripple my son? You deserve to die ten thousand times over!" Third Master Chu shouted coldly. His tone was overbearing, and he had no intention of arguing with Chu Feng.
Those old men whose Qi had reached the peak of the Qi Gathering Realm rushed over, and made a grabbing motion.
"Ha!" Chu Feng clenched his right hand into a fist, and the veins on his arm bulged. His wrist bent in a strange way as he clashed with the guards.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Chu Feng unleashed the strongest force of the Nine Strike Force. A clear sound rang out and those old men who wanted to kill Chu Feng were also forced back.
As those old men were about to reach the Spirit Devouring Realm, Chu Feng could only force back those people, but could not hurt these old men.
Chu Feng was also panting from exhaustion. The greater the power unleashed by the Nine Strike Force, the more Spiritual Energy he would need to consume. It was quite difficult for him to use the Nine Strike Force Five Rows in a row with his current cultivation base.
But even so, this result still made those elders in the courtyard reveal a strange expression. "Has this little beast grown to this extent? To actually be able to repel these older generation cultivators!"
These elders were all retired old guardians. In terms of cultivation realm, they were much stronger than Chu Sansheng. Furthermore, with so many of them attacking at the same time, Chu Feng was able to force them back. Just how strong was Chu Feng's combat strength?
A strange look flashed across Third Master Chu's eyes, then it turned into thick killing intent. "No wonder my son was crippled. It turns out that he has such ability."
As an important figure of Chu family, Third Master Chu had seen more than the others. Everyone else had seen that Chu Feng's strength wasn't weak, but he had seen Chu Feng's astonishing talent.
One should know that even a little genius like Chu Sansheng could not defeat a peak Mid Qi Gathering Realm warrior with just a Mid Qi Gathering Realm cultivation base!
Even when he was in the Qi Gathering Realm, he could not do it. In the entire Chu family, there were only a few people who had this kind of talent!
For their branch, it was not good news for Chu Feng to have such talent.
Just as Third Master Chu was about to mobilize his men again, Chu Feng suddenly took out a purple-gold token from his pocket. The words "Young Patriarch" were carved on it.
"Third Uncle, as an important figure in the family, you shouldn't know that no one is allowed to attack the young patriarch without reason, right? Or do you want to know the law and break the law? And you elders, are you planning to help the enemy? Before the matter is investigated thoroughly, it has already been done in such a hasty manner! Aren't you afraid that if my father blames you, the Institute of Elders will be furious? "
Chu Feng's words carried a hint of threat. He was the young master of Chu family after all. If these people wanted to bully him, he would have to consider his identity.
As expected, the moment the young master's identity card was revealed, those white-haired elders became much more fearful, and their expressions became stern.
"Chu Feng, be frank and lenient. If you plead guilty obediently, perhaps Third Uncle will forgive you on account of your family! Otherwise... Hmph! "
Third Master Chu said coldly.
" Be frank and lenient? What do I need to be frank about? Although there are rules in the family that prohibit harming one's own kind, there is another rule in the family: If someone wants to threaten the young master's life, the young master can make an exception for the continuation of the family's inheritance! It's already a great kindness that I didn't kill Chu Sansheng!" Chu Feng said with a cold smile.
The reason why he only crippled Chu Sansheng was to avoid conflict with the rules of the family. However, Third Master Chu seemed to not know what was good for him, so there was no need for Chu Feng to hide it anymore.
"Do you think you are only crippling the Chu family's Direct Member? You even killed a junior of the Chu family. Each and every one of these crimes is a crime you have committed!" Chu Sansheng said with a ferocious expression.
As soon as he finished speaking, some guards carried the stretcher out.
On the stretcher were a few corpses. When they lifted the white cloth, they saw that those corpses were surprisingly the group of tyrants that followed Chu Sansheng.
Their expressions were fixed on fear, as if something terrifying had happened before they died.
"Chu Feng, you killed these people, right? How ruthless of you! How dare you attack a junior of your own kind? Do you know that the remains of your own kind are a capital offense in Chu family?! " Third Master Chu said coldly, his eyes were filled with killing intent.
"Chu Feng, we have all seen this. You have harmed your own kind. Even if your father is the patriarch, he can't protect you anymore!"
"Yes, Chu Feng, harming your own kind is a capital offense! Be honest, be lenient, and resist strict!"
Those elders were all talking at the same time, wanting to convict Chu Feng.
Chu Feng furrowed his brows, a cold light flowing in his eyes. He clearly remembered that when he fought with these people that day, he did not kill them, but crippled them.
Furthermore, with the status of these bullies in Chu family, even if they were crippled, ordinary people wouldn't dare to provoke them.
"Could it be..."
Suddenly, Chu Feng stared at Chu Sansheng and the furious Third Master Chu, as if he understood what was going on.
"Third Uncle, Third Uncle, you are so cruel! You dare to frame me!"
Chu Feng was very smart. Someone wanted to frame him and pour dirty water on him!
Many people knew that he had a conflict with these people a few days ago. They had died just like that. No matter who it was, they would think that these people had died because of him.
Furthermore, no matter how he tried to explain this matter, it was obviously not convincing enough.
In the Chu family, even if you were the young patriarch, it would still be a huge crime for you to harm your own kind!
As for the person who persecuted him, who else could it be other than the shrewd and scheming Third Master Chu who had a conflict of interest with him?
Chu Feng felt chills running down his spine. Third Master Chu had done such an evil thing in order to frame him. It was truly infuriating!
