Chaos Heaven-Dominating Technique

Ge Xiong shuddered at the sight of Shen Haoran’s icy gaze. The boy he’d dismissed as a good-for-nothing just three years ago had now grown to a level of power he could barely comprehend.

"Get out!" Shen Haoran flung Ge Xiong against a nearby wall. The immense force of the impact caused the wall to collapse.

"Patriarch!" The men of the Ge Family rushed forward to pull Ge Xiong from the rubble. Ge Xiong shot Shen Haoran one last, deep look before taking the unconscious Ge Qiang and retreating from the Shen Family’s estate.

"Patriarch, are we just going to let that brat humiliate us like this?" one of the Ge Family’s Martial Artists demanded resentfully after they had left the Shen Family’s estate.

"That’s right, Patriarch! How dare he openly insult you! We refuse to believe he can stand against our entire Ge Family alone. Let’s go back, gather our men, and storm this place. We’ll show him the consequences of offending the Ge Family!" the other Martial Artists chimed in, one after another.

As Ge Xiong listened to his men, his expression darkened. He, the dignified Clan Leader of a family, had been threatened by a mere junior. If word of this got out, what would be left of his reputation and authority?

"Fine! Go back and gather our men! I refuse to believe that Shen Haoran can stand against the entire Ge Family!" Ge Xiong declared, his face contorted with rage. But just as he finished speaking, a servant boy came rushing from the direction of the Ge Family’s own estate.

"Patriarch, urgent news! Shen Haoran killed all those men in black robes and rescued everyone from the Shen Family!" Seeing Ge Xiong, the servant boy quickly relayed the biggest news currently circulating in Cyan Mountain City.

"What? Say that again!" Ge Xiong’s face fell. He grabbed the servant by the collar, yanked him close, and roared.

"Shen... Shen Haoran killed all the men in black robes and rescued the Shen Family!" the servant stammered, terrified by Ge Xiong’s savage expression.

Upon hearing the servant’s words, Ge Xiong and the men behind him felt as if a mountain had crashed down upon them. Their faces filled with shock. Ge Xiong’s own expression flickered between various emotions, finally settling on a look of pure savagery.

After a long moment, Ge Xiong took a deep breath. "Men!" he said in a heavy tone. "Go back and assemble our people!"

The Martial Artists behind him were stunned. One asked hesitantly, "Patriarch, are we still assembling our forces? Are we really going to fight Shen Haoran?"

"Fight? Fight my ass! We’re assembling our people to move house!" Ge Xiong waved his hand dismissively, his face a mask of defeat. ’Those men in black robes nearly wiped out the Shen Family in the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn. That shows how terrifyingly powerful they were. Yet Shen Haoran was able to kill them all. That means his strength surpasses even theirs. His threat to make the Ge Family suffer the same fate as the Shen Family... it wasn’t just talk. Right now, our only choice is to do as he says and move out of Cyan Mountain City within three days. Otherwise, the Ge Family is truly finished!’

And so, to the bewilderment of everyone in Cyan Mountain City, the Ge Family quickly packed up and left. That very same afternoon, Shen Haoran led the members of the Shen Family into the now-vacant Ge Family estate and took up residence...

「Two days later.」 Liu Xiahui arrived at the Ge Family estate, bringing with him the Shen Family disciples he had rescued.

"Brother Shen, I’ve brought your disciples back, safe and sound," Liu Xiahui said with a faint smile, looking at Shen Haoran.

"Thank you. This time, I owe the Liu Family a favor." Seeing that his family’s disciples were unharmed, Shen Haoran cupped his fists toward Liu Xiahui. He knew the Liu Family must have had its own motives for helping. Still, regardless of their reasons, they had been willing to act against the pressure from Fallen Valley to help the Shen Family, and for that, Shen Haoran was grateful.

"Haha, it was nothing at all!" A sharp glint flashed in Liu Xiahui’s eyes upon hearing Shen Haoran’s words. ’Everything we did was for the sake of hearing him say that. A personal favor is the hardest debt to repay in this world. With his promise, the future of our Liu Family is limitless.’

ROAR—

As the two were speaking, two massive shadows streaked across the sky. A moment later, two enormous Griffins were hovering over Cyan Mountain City once more. The sudden appearance of the Griffins made the city’s Martial Artists tense up all over again.

The two Griffins only lingered in the sky for a moment, however, before descending to land in the main square of the Ge Family estate. Several familiar figures then leaped down from their backs.

"Boss, we’re here!" a few voices called out. The figures who had jumped from the Griffins rushed toward Shen Haoran. They were Shui Ruolan, Zi Mo, and the others, who had rushed over from the Five Elements Sect.

Liu Xiahui watched the group approach, a sense of shock growing within him. ’The auras on these people are incredibly powerful. Even I can’t discern their level of Cultivation. I can even feel an intense sense of danger from the one who looks like a child of only twelve or thirteen.’ The thought left him feeling a bit dejected, but the feeling passed in an instant. ’These must be the allies Shen Haoran made while he was away. Anyone he holds in high regard is bound to be extraordinary.’

Seeing their familiar faces, Shen Haoran felt the oppressive weight on his heart from the past few days lighten instantly. He smiled and walked forward to greet them. He hadn’t seen Zi Mo in a few months, and it looked like he’d put on some weight. The brothers, Long Zhen and Long Mo, seemed as cool and aloof as ever. Shui Ruolan, however, was a little different. Her pretty face was pale and etched with worry.

"Are you the only four who came?" Shen Haoran asked with a small smile.

"The four of us came on ahead," Zi Mo explained. "Big Brother Su Xing is gathering the Yao Sect’s forces. He should be here in another day or two. Boss, about what happened... it was our failure. We didn’t protect them..." Zi Mo hung his head, his face filled with self-recrimination. The other three also bowed their heads, unable to meet Shen Haoran’s gaze.

Seeing their expressions, Shen Haoran knew Changmao must have told them what happened on the way here. He gently patted Zi Mo’s shoulder. "It’s all in the past now," he said. "And it’s not your fault. Fallen Valley is powerful, and this is the Northern Domain—their home turf. It’s only natural they were able to operate without you knowing."

"Boss, we..." Hearing that Shen Haoran didn’t blame them, Zi Mo and the others were at a loss for words.

"Enough. Let’s go inside first. I have matters to discuss with you." Shen Haoran waved his hand, signaling that there was no need for more words. He then led Zi Mo and the other three into the Ge Family’s conference hall...
