Chaos Heaven-Dominating Technique
Chapter 533 - 529: Descending the MountainIn Cyan Mountain City below, discussions about the Shen Family had been running rampant for the past few days. You could hear people talking about it on every street and in every alley—even in the latrines.
"The Shen Family is really finished this time!"
"Sigh, the fire on the back mountain is out. The Shen Family must have all been killed by that group in black robes. Why do you think those people targeted the Shen Family?"
"It was probably because of Shen Haoran. By the way, Shen Haoran went to the Shen Family’s back mountain as well. Surely he wasn’t killed too!"
Sighs echoed through the streets and alleys. Everyone lamented the Shen Family’s fate. After all, they had coexisted for decades. For the Shen Family to be so suddenly erased from Cyan Mountain City was difficult for them to accept.
"That... isn’t that Shen Haoran?" someone exclaimed while the crowd was talking.
At these words, the crowd couldn’t help but turn their gazes. Not far off, Shen Haoran was walking toward them from the direction of the Shen Family’s back mountain, his expression impassive. His clothes were stained with dried blood, and a young disciple from the Shen Family followed behind him.
"Shen Haoran actually brought someone from the Shen Family out with him! Does that mean all those people in black robes are dead?" The crowd was astonished to see the disciple behind Shen Haoran.
"Impossible! Their leader was a Spirit Emperor Level expert. How could Shen Haoran possibly have escaped him alive!" some people said in disbelief.
"Then what about the blood on Shen Haoran? If those people in black robes were still there, they’d never have let him leave the back mountain with a Shen Family member. It looks like they really are dead!" Of course, there were some sharp minds in the crowd.
Hearing that person’s analysis, the crowd found it incredible. Three years ago, when Shen Haoran left, he was just a reckless youth, a greenhorn who had only just shed his reputation as "trash." But now, upon his return, he could slay an expert of the Spirit Emperor Tier. ’This guy... he’s grown a little too fast, hasn’t he!’
"Brother Haoran, Grandpa said you should first return to the Shen Family’s ancestral hall and retrieve the ancestral tablets!" the boy following Shen Haoran said in a youthful voice. This young man had been sent by Old Sir Shen to help Shen Haoran; he was also the grandson of the Second Elder, Shen Tian.
"I know." Shen Haoran turned, gently patting Shen Tian’s head and giving a slight nod. Even without Old Sir Shen’s reminder, it was something he would have remembered to do.
The two of them headed toward the Shen Family’s estate. Soon, they arrived before the grand residence. Gazing at the estate, now reduced to a ruin, Shen Haoran couldn’t help but feel a wave of sadness. The place where he was born and raised was gone, just like that.
"Brother Haoran, our home... it’s gone!" Shen Tian whimpered from behind Shen Haoran, staring at the scorched, blackened compound.
"Yes, our home is gone," Shen Haoran murmured softly.
"Then where will we live?" Shen Tian asked, looking up at Shen Haoran’s face with eyes full of tears.
Shen Haoran looked down at Shen Tian and gently patted his head. "Don’t worry," he said. "In the future, we will definitely have a home that’s bigger and better than this one! There, no one will be able to hurt you again. You all can focus on your Cultivation and become strong, experts who can protect our family!"
"Really? Then will I become as strong as you, Brother Haoran?" Hearing Shen Haoran’s words, the tears in Shen Tian’s eyes vanished instantly. He looked up at Shen Haoran, his face flushed with excitement.
"Yes, you definitely will. Even stronger than me!" Shen Haoran chuckled, the gloom on his face vanishing. ’As long as the Shen Family still has youths like him, as long as I’m still here, the Shen Family will never perish!’
"Yeah! I’ll become as strong as Brother Haoran too! I’ll beat up the bad guys, just like Brother Haoran!" Hearing this, Shen Tian immediately became energetic again, skipping as he ran toward the Shen Family estate.
However, just as Shen Tian was about to step through the Shen Family’s main gate, he was sent flying by a figure who suddenly appeared in front of him! In that instant, everything the figure was carrying spilled and scattered across the ground.
Seeing the jewels on the ground, the burly man who had rushed out of the Shen estate flew into a rage. He pointed at Shen Tian on the ground and began to curse. "You damn kid, are you blind? Didn’t you see me coming out?"
Shen Tian rubbed his sore backside and shakily got to his feet. But when he saw the things scattered on the ground, his small face contorted with anger.
"Those things belong to my family! You’re stealing from my family?" Shen Tian shouted, pointing at the burly man.
"Hmph, your family? So you’re one of the Shen Family? What a joke. The Shen Family was wiped out long ago. Where did a little brat like you crawl out from? Besides, even if the Shen Family were still around, they wouldn’t dare say a damn thing if I took their stuff!" the burly man sneered at Shen Tian.
"You’re not allowed to talk about my family like that!" Hearing the man’s words, Shen Tian roared in anger and charged forward, swinging his small fists.
"Hmph, courting death!" Seeing a little brat dare to attack him, the burly man snorted coldly. He lifted his foot and kicked toward Shen Tian. A faint Spiritual Power gathered around his foot—he was aiming to kill!
But just as the burly man’s kick was about to land on Shen Tian, a figure abruptly appeared in front of the boy. The figure lifted a foot and stomped down viciously on the burly man’s leg. In an instant, the Spiritual Power on the man’s foot completely dispersed.
"CRACK..." With a sharp snap of breaking bone, the burly man’s leg was stomped clean in two by Shen Haoran. A shard of ghastly white bone pierced through the skin, and scarlet blood quickly soaked his clothes.
"Is the honor and dignity of my Shen Family something you are fit to insult?" Shen Haoran said coolly, his gaze fixed on the burly man’s pain-twisted face. He then lashed out with a kick, striking the man squarely in his lower abdomen. There was a sound like a balloon popping, and a torrent of Spiritual Power erupted from the man’s body. Shen Haoran’s kick had directly shattered his Dantian!
"Get lost!" Shen Haoran roared. The burly man shot a terrified glance at Shen Haoran, then ignored the pain in his body and scrambled away from the Shen estate. He had seen the killing intent in Shen Haoran’s eyes. He knew that if he had been a step slower, he might have been decapitated.
After the burly man fled, Shen Haoran’s expression turned incredibly grim as he looked at the jewels and antiques scattered on the ground. ’To think someone would take advantage of the Shen Family’s downfall to come and loot our possessions!’
"Hmph. Do they really think the Shen Family is so easily bullied?" Shen Haoran snorted coldly. He took Shen Tian by the hand and strode into the Shen compound. He was going to see for himself just who was audacious enough to strike at the Shen Family from the shadows...
