The Cloud Chariot descended upon the Shen Family Mansion, its overwhelming spiritual pressure pouring down like a massive boulder, causing the entire mansion to tremble.
Chen Yuantu, dressed in a dark brocade robe with a white jade pendant hanging from his waist, exuded an air of nobility. He strode into the Shen Family estate, followed by a group of fierce-looking guards.
"Well, if it isn't the Wuding Marquis! What brings you here?" Shen Yunting greeted him with a cold smile, having received word of his arrival and already waiting with Yeh Jing-Shu by his side. The thought of Chen Yuantu using his sister to rise to power only to turn against them filled him with a desire for vengeance.
Chen Yuantu cast a disdainful glance at Shen Yunting. "Shen Yunting, you were once my brother-in-law. Let’s not beat around the bush. I’m sure you know why I’m here."
"Marquis, you flatter me. I can’t possibly bear the title of your brother-in-law," Shen Yunting replied with a cold snort, feigning ignorance. "What business do you have at the Shen Family?"
"Hmph! Enough of this pretense," Chen Yuantu said dismissively. "Hand over those two little brats, or else—"
His voice dripped with threat as he trailed off.
"Or else what?" Yeh Jing-Shu stepped forward, glaring at Chen Yuantu with contempt and disgust. "Don’t forget that you’ve divorced Shen Wanzhou. Those children have nothing to do with you anymore! You think you can just take them?"
"You vile woman!" Chen Yuantu's blood surged with anger, his expression darkening instantly. "Who do you think you are to act so brazenly before me?!"
"Don't push your luck, Chen Yuantu!" Shen Yunting shouted back, drawing his spirit sword and pointing it at Chen Yuantu. "If you dare to cause trouble today, the Shen Family will fight to the bitter end and make you pay dearly!"
Chen Yuantu laughed heartily, as if he had heard the greatest joke in the world. "You think you’re worthy of challenging me?!"
"Men! Seize them!" With a command, his guards lunged forward like wolves.
"Protect the young master and young mistress!" The Shen Family guards drew their weapons in response, and in an instant, blades flashed and vital energy surged.
The courtyard of the Shen Family was now on the brink of chaos, tension thick in the air as both sides prepared for an imminent clash.
"Stop!"
Shen Wanzhou held the small hands of Chen Li and Shen Qingyue as they exited the backyard. The little ones showed no signs of fear; instead, their eyes sparkled with excitement as they watched the performance before them.
Shen Wanzhou cast a cold glare at Chen Yuantu. "You have abandoned your wife and children. What face do you have to come and see them?! Do you have any conscience left?!"
"Shen Wanzhou, you arrived just in time. Hand over those two little brats, and I will let your Shen Family go!" Chen Yuantu's face was grim, exuding an aura of menace.
Feeling the murderous intent radiating from him, Shen Wanzhou's eyes burned with rage. "You don't even acknowledge them as yours; why must you take them away?"
Chen Yuantu sneered coldly. "If you want to know, I won't hide it from you. Everyone says these two little brats are extraordinary; in just three months, they have grown like one-year-old children. I just happen to need them to serve the Heir Apparent!"
"What?!" Shen Wanzhou trembled with anger, meeting Chen Yuantu's gaze without fear. "Chen Yuantu, are you even human? You abandoned me and our children to cling to power, and now you say you want to take them? What do you think they are to you? Do you think they are mere playthings in your hands?! If you want to take them, dream on!"
"You vile creature! Insolent!" Chen Yuantu roared, unleashing his Vital Energy as an invisible force that surged toward Shen Wanzhou.
Just as the claw of energy was about to strike Shen Wanzhou, a furious shout echoed from within the courtyard. In an instant, a figure flashed past and stood protectively in front of her.
With a powerful palm strike, he collided with Chen Yuantu's Vital Energy.
Boom!
A deafening sound erupted as the two forces clashed, creating a violent shockwave that swept outward.
Ah!
The surrounding guards of the Shen Family were thrown off their feet by the force of the blast, landing in disarray on the ground.
Shen Zhentian and Chen Yuantu were also pushed back a few steps by the recoil.
"Shen Zhentian, it seems you are determined to be my enemy!" Chen Yuantu steadied himself, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
His aura swelled dangerously, teetering on the edge of fury. If it weren't for his desire to find fault with the Shen Family before annihilating them, he would have unleashed his full power already!
"Hmph! Old Madam has fought all her life; what is there to fear in opposing you?!" Shen Zhentian snorted coldly, his presence surging once more.
Though his cultivation was not on par with Chen Yuantu's, if anyone thought they could bully his granddaughter and grandson, they were sorely mistaken!
Chen Yuantu's aura suddenly erupted, a powerful spiritual pressure pressing down like a mountain around him.
His innate cultivation level was fully revealed, a stark contrast to Shen Zhentian's sixth level of cultivation, which felt like the difference between heaven and earth.
Feeling the overwhelming pressure, Shen Zhentian's expression changed, realizing the gravity of the situation. Although he had experienced many battles, his age and lower cultivation level put him at a disadvantage against Chen Yuantu.
In the prime of his life, Chen Yuantu had reached the peak of innate ninth level, just one step away from the coveted Mystic Boundary.
"You old fool, since you seek death, don't blame me for being merciless!" Chen Yuantu said darkly, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
As soon as he finished speaking, he moved like a shadow, charging straight at Shen Zhentian.
"Hmph! Even if I can't defeat you, I'll make you pay the price!"
Shen Zhentian roared, his spiritual energy surging as a golden spear appeared in his hand, its tip radiating a fierce cold light.
"Golden Dragon Break!" he shouted, thrusting the spear like a golden dragon emerging from the sea, aiming directly for Chen Yuantu's heart.
"Child's play!" Chen Yuantu sneered, not dodging or evading as he threw a punch.
Boom!
The golden spear collided with his powerful fist, producing a deafening roar. The force of the impact created shockwaves like a hurricane, snapping nearby trees in half and uprooting thick layers of soil from the ground.
Shen Zhentian felt an overwhelming force crashing down on him; his hands trembled violently as he nearly lost grip on the golden spear. He let out a muffled groan and staggered back, each step leaving deep impressions in the ground as he struggled to absorb the tremendous impact.
"Is that all you've got?" Chen Yuantu mocked coldly before dashing forward again like a blur.
His speed was astonishing; in the blink of an eye, he was before Shen Zhentian again, throwing another punch aimed directly at his face.
Shen Zhentian's expression changed dramatically as he hurriedly raised his spear to block.
Bang!
With a dull thud, Shen Zhentian was once more knocked back several steps, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
The old fool, you are no longer capable, just die! Chen Yuantu's eyes were filled with mockery as he lunged forward. His fists descended like mountains, striking with a vicious angle and deadly force.
