Chapter 728: Chapter 728
Outside, Wuhua Monk led Cui Yulong, rushing outwards, heading straight for the vicinity of the pile of giant rocks.
Cui Yulong frowned slightly, seeing Wuhua Monk run into the pile of giant rocks, he hesitated for a moment outside the pile, feeling that there was something odd about it. But soon he followed in, the Ink Pattern Black Gold Blade in the wooden box gave him the courage to fear nothing!
What they didn't know was that as he and Wuhua Monk entered the rock formation, in the small woods outside Shen Family Manor, several people were watching the situation unfold. These people were naturally Xu Cunxiao and others from the Western Province.
Xu Cunxiao, holding a telescope, was full of surprise when he saw Cui Yulong and Wuhua Monk enter the rock formation.
"How come Cui Yulong has come out with a monk?" Xu Cunxiao walked over to Eldest Brother, saying, "They have started fighting inside, but Cui Yulong is not there. This round, Sha Men might not gain much advantage!"
"There was no plan to let Sha Men gain much advantage in the first place!" Eldest Brother sneered, saying, "Hmm, Cui Yulong is too arrogant, probably provoked by someone. He even dares to mess around in that rock formation; that's the Eight Trigrams Array left by Southern Fist King Shen Tianjun. Ordinary people, without a guide from the Shen Family, would never walk out of there. Let's not bother with him now, Third Brother, go immediately and inform Old Demon Han that the Shen Family is in great turmoil, and he can attack Shen Family Manor anytime!"
"Old Demon Han has been restless, eager to attack the Shen Family Manor immediately," Xu Cunxiao chuckled coldly, saying, "Eldest Brother, if Old Demon Han breaks in, tonight, the Shen Family will truly suffer a great loss!"
"Don't celebrate too soon!" Eldest Brother slowly shook his head, speaking with gravity, "Old Madame Shen has also returned, and this old lady's strength is formidable; Old Demon Han may not be her match. I'll go in first to take a look, and if Old Demon Han cannot overcome the old lady, I'll have to help him. The rest of you, wait for my signal. As soon as I give the signal, immediately lead men inside. No matter if it's people from Sha Men or the Shen Family, spare no one. Tonight, I want both Sha Men and the Shen Family to be completely eliminated!"
"Yes!" Xu Cunxiao and the others responded in unison, their emotions extremely agitated. The plan they had been concocting for twenty years was finally going to bear fruit that day, one could only imagine how they felt.
At this moment, a junior came over and said, "Eldest Brother, our people saw Huangfu Ziyu enter Shen Family Manor from the back mountain just now!"
"Perfect!" Eldest Brother's face lit up with excitement, saying, "She also went in, this is the best opportunity. Third Brother, immediately order the people from Eastern Province to strike fully, we must take down all of Huangfu Ziyu's territory and power tonight, and completely control Eastern Province!"
"Yes!" Xu Cunxiao nodded, promptly turning around to handle the matter.
Eldest Brother also did not delay, taking a detour, stealthily scaling the wall from another side to infiltrate Shen Family Manor.
Inside Shen Family Manor, there were no patrols at the moment. Over at the great hall, Sha Men and the people of the Shen Family had clashed, and all the guards were watching, ready to help at a moment's notice. Of course, without Shen Da's orders, these people wouldn't dare to take direct action.
Listening to the sounds of battle coming from the great hall, Eldest Brother had a cold smile on his face and quietly turned to walk in another direction. The internal area of Shen Family Manor was vast. After making almost two miles of detours, he finally arrived outside a tall-walled courtyard.
Outside the tall-walled courtyard, there was not a single soul in sight, which surprised Eldest Brother. However, his excitement grew even more intense.
"Do the Shen Family members really think that only the Sha Men people have come? No one is guarding the Treasure Room. It seems that destiny has ordained that I take the Seven Treasures!" Eldest Brother thought to himself, walking straight towards the tall-walled courtyard.
However, just as he reached the gate of the courtyard, the doors suddenly opened, and an old lady leaning on a Dragon Head Cane walked out.
This old lady was none other than the current Family Head of the Shen Family, Old Madame Shen. Seeing Eldest Brother, there was no surprise or strangeness on her face, instead, it was an expression of expectedness.
"I've long felt that the death of Tie Yongwen was fishy, and I never expected it to be the work of you household slaves!" Old Madame Shen looked at Eldest Brother, sighing, "Wang Tian'an, what's wrong with Western Province? Why leave Western Province? To covet so much, don't you know, the two Chen children have been waiting for you to show up and meet your demise?"
Seeing Old Madame Shen, Wang Tian'an's face was filled with astonishment and shock. Clearly, he had not expected that Old Madame Shen would be hiding in this treasure room. Moreover, from her appearance, she had known about his identity all along, hence why she was waiting for him here.
Wang Tian'an felt a foreboding sensation in his heart, but he quickly regained his composure and sneered, "You dead old hag, with the Western Province being so nice, why didn't you just stay there? Humph, those two remnants of the Chen Family were lucky I didn't kill them back then. This time, if I encounter them again, I will certainly not let them off. I will personally take their lives, and utterly exterminate the Chen Family!"
"Twenty years!" sighed Old Madame Shen. "After twenty years, I thought that you had reflected enough in the Western Province. It seems I was wrong. Not only have you lacked any reflection, but you have become even more extreme. Tie Yongwen, Old Tie, had nothing to do with any matter, and held no grudges with you. He was known throughout the land for his magnanimity, sense of justice, and loyalty. Why did you kill him?"
"For our plan, anyone can be killed!" Wang Tian'an said coldly. "To deceive that little girl, Chen Si, my own son, Third Brother's son, Fourth Brother's son, several of our children, all died in the Southern Suburbs Dogfight Arena, just to make her think we were afraid of her. Great goals aren't achieved without sacrifices. Even my own son can die, what's the death of a Tie Yongwen?"
"It seems you've been possessed by demons!" Old Madame Shen slowly raised the dragon head cane in her hand, quietly watched Wang Tian'an, and said, "Your Chen Family's matter was something our Shen Family originally didn't want to get involved with. But since you killed Old Tie, I must seek some justice for him. Tonight, you must leave your life behind!"
Old Madame Shen, with her head full of white hair, though her presence was strong, was completely different compared to the prime-aged Wang Tian'an. Seeing Old Madame Shen , Wang Tian'an couldn't help but burst into laughter and said, "Old fool, I know you have some skills. But have you ever heard the saying that fists fear the young and robust? Do you really think you, an old thing, can kill me? Do you really think that I came to your Shen Family without any preparation?"
Saying so, Wang Tian'an casually drew a soft sword from his waist. The soft sword writhed like a spirit snake in his hand, constantly extending and retracting its blade, and its surface reflected five colors, making it look exceedingly eerie.
"Five-Colored Spirit Snake Sword!" Old Madame Shen furrowed her brows and said coldly, "So it turns out that this famed instrument has ended up in your hands. It seems that you were also involved in the massacre at Sha Men ten years ago!"
"Heh heh heh..." Wang Tian'an continued to sneer and said, "Old hag, I know the order you gave originally was just to punish Sha Men and not to kill its people. But such a good opportunity, how could I not make use of it? Do you think those who had grudges with Sha Men came together spontaneously? Let me tell you the truth, it was I who secretly arranged for people to contact them and have them join forces to kill so many people of Sha Men. In the chaos, we seized the chance to take two famed instruments. We not only acquired treasures but also ignited the enmity between Sha Men and your Shen Family. All of this was within my control!"
"It seems you've been plotting for quite some time!" Old Madame Shen sighed slowly, "I am indeed old, for I failed to discern that it was you stirring trouble all along!"
"The old should step down when it's time," Wang Tian'an raised the Five-Colored Spirit Snake Sword slowly, pointing its tip at Old Madame Shen, and sneered, "Today is the day you, the old hag, step down!"
Old Madame Shen looked at Wang Tian'an, and glanced at the Five-Colored Spirit Snake Sword, and said, "Wang Tian'an, do you really believe that merely holding a famed instrument, you can kill me?"
"He alone can't kill you, but what if I join in?" Suddenly, a cold voice seemed to descend from the sky. Along with this voice, a tall man dressed in black clothes rapidly approached from the distance.
This man's face was half-covered by a black cloth, making it impossible to clearly see his features. However, his entire body seemed to be enveloped in a layer of dark aura, giving off a chilling vibe. His eyes flickered with a horrifying cold light, indicating that this man was no ordinary character!
"Blood Demon King Han Yilong!" Old Madame Shen's brow furrowed slightly, and she said coldly, "So you've come, too!"
"I, too, have been waiting for this day for twenty years!" Han Yilong said coldly. "Twenty years ago, Southern Fist King Shen Tianjun crippled my three disciples and left me severely injured. This account, I had long wished to settle with your Shen Family. Today, the opportunity has come. You old hag, you will surely die!"
Han Yilong, impulsive as he was, no sooner had his words fallen than he leapt up from his spot, his hands extended, and charged straight at Old Madame Shen.
Wang Tian'an sneered, "Old Demon Han, don't be so rash. This old hag is surely going to die today, but you should also be careful not to let this old dog bite you before she dies!"
Although Wang Tian'an was saying this, he didn't slow his movements, directly weaving several sword flowers with the soft sword and sweeping it towards Old Madame Shen.
Wang Tian'an and Han Yilong, both of them were undoubtedly among the top masters. The two of them striking together had completely sealed off all of Old Madame Shen's escape routes, leaving her with no way to dodge!
