Chapter 437: Chapter 212: I’ve Paid the Money! I Must Have the Goods

"I know."

Li Zaisan’s voice was cold and indifferent.

Just then, footsteps approached from outside.

The Old Ancestor of the Yun family and Yun Cai’Er finally walked in, the bloodstains on their shoulders still wet. The air filled with the stench of blood.

Everyone in the hall stared, stunned.

’What... is going on?’

Yu Zhen and Li Zaisan exchanged bewildered glances.

’How did that old bastard from the Yun family lose an arm?’

’He’s at the Outer Saint Peak. Who could possibly sever his arm?’

’Even that little lass, Yun Cai’Er, has a severed arm too?’

"Brother Yun, what happened to you two?"

Li Zaisan of the Longshan City Li family asked, his brow furrowed.

As the Yun family’s Old Ancestor, Yun Yi, made his way over, he had been silently calculating the time.

’From the moment I sent the message to Chen Xuan, considering Chen Xuan’s incredible speed...’

’Hmm, it shouldn’t take him more than half an hour.’

’Plus, I delayed for quite a while myself, and I dawdled on the way here.’

’In other words...’

’...Chen Xuan has probably already entered the Dark Crossing.’

’He might even be very close to the Yun family estate by now...’

At this thought, Yun Yi suddenly let out a mournful wail. He threw himself to the ground, spat out a mouthful of blood, and cried in agony, "Tianling Hall and Longshan City, you’ve gone too far!"

Blood gushed out as if it cost him nothing.

"Aargh! My arm!"

Beside him, Yun Cai’Er’s face went white as a sheet. She immediately collapsed as well, screaming in agony.

The entire hall erupted in an uproar, everyone staring in stunned disbelief.

It wasn’t just the people from Tianling Hall and Longshan City who were confused.

Even the members of the Yun family themselves were almost all completely baffled.

’Wait.’

’What the hell is happening?’

’Who cut off the Old Ancestor’s arm?’

’Did Tianling Hall and the Li family hire another master to attack him?’

’Did they launch a sneak attack on our Old Ancestor just now?’

At this thought, the faces of the Yun family elders and retainers twisted with shock and fury.

"Tianling Hall and Longshan City are attacking!"

"Don’t let them get away! Attack them together!"

BOOM!

The entire hall was instantly thrown into chaos as lights flared and the air filled with whistling sounds.

The members of Tianling Hall and the Li family from Longshan City were utterly furious and bewildered.

’Are these people fucking crazy?!’

They still had no idea what was going on.

’But if the Yun family wants a fight, then let’s fight! We’ll wipe them out completely!’

"Wipe out the Yun family!"

"Kill them all, leave no one alive!"

An even more powerful radiance erupted.

But just at that moment.

BOOM!

An invisible, scorching, and oppressive aura instantly unfurled, blanketing the entire hall. It felt like an immense mountain was pressing down on everyone, and the very space around them began to solidify.

This indescribably hot presence burrowed uncontrollably into their minds and souls. The combatants, who had been in the midst of chaos, froze with alarm. Their bodies felt unnaturally heavy, as if they were about to burst into flames.

An immense sense of danger enveloped everyone’s hearts.

The once-chaotic hall fell deathly silent in an instant.

"How interesting. I arrive just in time to see this spectacle?"

A calm and detached voice sounded from outside.

A tall and burly figure in a purple robe came into view, walking step by step into the hall.

An invisible heat surged within the hall...

Like a pack of snarling, fiery demons.

On the floor, the hearts of the Yun family’s Old Ancestor and Yun Cai’Er pounded with excitement.

’He’s here!’

’Chen Xuan is here!’

’Yes, yes, yes!’

’Our powerful backer is here!’

"Young Hero Chen, please seek justice for my Yun family!"

The Yun family’s Old Ancestor wailed in agony. By circulating his own energy, he forced the blood from his already-staunched wound to gush out once more.

Blood sprayed out like a fountain.

Chen Xuan looked over, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

’Damn! Can blood really spray like that?’

’I’ve never seen anything like it!’

"Speak. What’s going on? Why did a fight suddenly break out?"

Chen Xuan asked calmly as he walked straight ahead.

He strode to an undamaged chair and sat down, taking an imperious posture.

His purple robes billowed around him.

His invisible aura spread out in all directions.

He rested his cheek gently on his palm.

The expressions of Yu Zhen from Tianling Hall and Li Zaisan from Longshan City changed drastically as they stared at Chen Xuan.

’Yama Chen...’

’Is this Yama Chen?’

THUD!

The Hall Master of Tianling Hall, Yu Zhen, was the first to succumb. His body swayed, and he fell to his knees on the spot. "Y-Yama Chen..." he stammered.

"You know me?"

Chen Xuan’s gaze fell upon him, calm and detached.

"I do, I do."

Yu Zhen trembled uncontrollably.

’Are you kidding me? Who in the entire Dark Crossing doesn’t know Yama Chen?’

’You could get away with not recognizing the Judges or the Fiends.’

’But if you don’t recognize Yama Chen, you might as well have wasted your life here.’

Not long ago.

Yama Chen single-handedly slaughtered over a hundred Outer Saints! His terrifying power shook the world! Who wouldn’t be afraid of him?

"Old Ancestor of the Yun family, what happened to you? Didn’t you say you had news about the Heaven Repairing Pill?"

Chen Xuan looked directly at the Yun family’s Old Ancestor.

"I do, I do."

The Yun family’s Old Ancestor’s voice trembled as he hurriedly replied, "For the past few days, I have been focused solely on tracking the Heaven Repairing Pill. Unfortunately, someone has been taking advantage of our family’s preoccupation to launch repeated sneak attacks against us. This time, they sent assassins straight to our door! This old man’s arm was severed by them. I implore Young Hero Chen to first deliver justice for me!"

His expression was one of profound grief, with tears streaming down his aged face.

"Oh? And who cut it off?"

Chen Xuan asked.

"It was him, Yu Zhen of Tianling Hall!"

The Yun family’s Old Ancestor gritted his teeth and pointed at Yu Zhen. "And my great-granddaughter Yun Cai’Er’s arm was severed by the Li family of Longshan City!"

Yu Zhen was completely dumbfounded. It was only then that he finally understood what was happening.

’A frame-up!’

’This is a frame-up!’

’This is a conspiracy targeting the entire Tianling Hall.’

"It wasn’t me! I’ve been framed! His arm was already like that when I arrived! I definitely didn’t cut it..."
