“But Sixteenth, that man's advances are very aggressive. The moment he appeared, he killed Sixth Elder immediately. I'm worried that he's targeting the Chu family. If we don't report this in time, will we delay any actions?” asked the man with the scar worriedly.
“I don't think so.” The other person shook his head and analyzed, “Everyone knows that the Chu family is the most prominent family and Chu Sect is the most powerful authority in the world established by the Chu family. No matter how bold the intruder is or how huge his grudge is toward the Chu family, he'll probably only dare to stir up trouble outside. Even if I dare him to, he won't be bold enough to kick up a fuss in Mount Chumen, let alone in front of the Chu family! If he does that, he'll be digging his own grave.”
When the scarred-face man heard that explanation, he nodded in understanding. “You're right. The Chu family is filled with powerful fighters. Who would dare to stir up trouble? Looks like I'm overthinking.”
At that thought, he smiled in relief and the worry within him dissipated.
However, at that moment, the guard who had just informed Chu Zhengliang earlier ran out of the hall. When he saw the scar-faced man, he was delighted.
“Sixteenth, Seventeenth! Act quickly! An intruder has just infiltrated the mountain. Follow me to kill the enemy now!” he urged anxiously.
When the scar-faced man heard that, he was confused. “What happened? Aren't the twelve Wolf Guards protecting the foot of the mountain? Are there so many enemies that they need back-up?”
The Chu Family Protectors consisted of thirty six people.
However, the thirty-six guards were separated into three classes based on their abilities.
The most powerful class was the Dragon Guards, where all the guards were at the Grandmaster level.
The second was the Tiger Guards. They had already reached the peak of the Terminal and were halfway into the Grandmaster level.
The weakest was the Wolf Guards, who were merely in the early stages of the Terminal level.
As it was Chu Qitian's wedding day, all thirty-six guards were mobilized.
The Dragon Guards were stationed at Chu Sect's hall to maintain security and order.
The Tiger Guards followed Chu Qitian to the Jones family to protect him.
Meanwhile, the Wolf Guards were stationed at the entrance of the mountain to guard Chu Sect.
Hence, when the Tiger Guards saw the guard seeking assistance, they voiced their confusion.
“Don't ask, Sixteenth. Come and help quickly! When I came, almost everyone in the Wolf Guards had been defeated!” pleaded the guard worriedly, sounding like he was on the verge of tears.
The Tiger Guards were shocked when they heard that.
“What did you say? Almost everyone in the Wolf Guards has been defeated? Quick! Take us there now!
I want to see which b*stard dares to kill my buddies.”
The thirty-six guards of the Chu family were all as close as brothers.
Now that their buddies had been humiliated and killed, they were naturally furious.
They immediately headed downhill to kill the enemy.
However, the nearer they were to the foot of the mountain, the clearer those miserable wails and the sounds of swords clashing were.
Soon, a scene of utter chaos appeared in front of them.
There were corpses strewn across the floor, while blood flowed down the red carpet like a river.
The sound of the blood flowing was like that of the stream in the mountains.
When the scarred-face men and the rest saw the corpses and blood, they froze in utter shock.
Their best pals' blood was flowing in that stream of blood.
“You jerk! Stop right now!”
In a fit of fury, the scarred-face man unsheathed his sword.
Lifting it up, he struck it down onto the back of the thin figure in front of him.
However, his powerful attack merely caused a strand of that man's hair to flutter.
Not even his clothes were ripped.
When Seventeenth heard that guard nagging incessantly, he flew into a fit of rage and yelled at him.
This fool doesn't even know how terrifying this young man is. He keeps telling us to attack, but why isn't he attacking, huh?
However, this was not the time to argue about this. At this critical juncture, they had to stop that young man first.
“Please stop. It's the wedding day of the Chu family's young master—a rare event of the century. Regardless of whatever grudges or misunderstandings you may have with the Chu family, please come another day. I'm sure that the head of the Chu family will give you a good explanation.”
Unlike his usual arrogant self, Sixteenth spoke in a subservient and polite manner when confronting Ye Fan.
However, such nonsense was naturally useless to Ye Fan.
Raising his head, he gazed at them coldly. His vicious and hostile voice rang loudly as he warned, “If you don't want to die, move aside.”
“Please reconsider, sir. The few of us might not be able to stop you, but don't forget that the Chu family is the most prominent family in the world. There are twelve Grandmasters serving as guards for the Chu family alone. Now, they're stationed right outside Chu Sect's hall. Other than that, there are countless skilled fighters in the Chu family. The experts from all three families of Chu Sect have also gathered together today.”
After a slight pause, he continued, “No matter how powerful you may be, you're still a lone fighter. You might be able to defeat me or the ten of us on your own, but what'll happen when you're confronted with the Chu family orthe entire Chu Sect? A wise man knows what is best for him. If you leave now, you might still survive. However, if you insist on charging forward, death is your only outcome. Please reconsider your decision, sir!”
Sixteenth emphasized his last few words, which made the warning implicit in his message extremely clear.
However, regardless of how much he said, Ye Fan only had one response.
“I'll say this one last time. Move aside! I, Chu Tianfan, am determined to barge into Chu Sect today. Anyone who blocks my way will die!”
Boom!
A thunderous sound reverberated across the foot of the mountain.
His furious voice echoed in all directions alongside the howling wind.
When Sixteenth and the rest saw how fixated the young man was on his goal, they gave up negotiating.
“Looks like you won't give up until you meet your maker. If that's the case, don't blame us for not showing you any mercy!”
