The woman was enveloped in a surge of Spiritual Energy, emanating a powerful pressure that forcefully blocked Chen Yuantu's attack.
"Mother!" Chen Li and Shen Qingyue cheered upon seeing her, rushing into the woman's embrace like fledglings returning to their nest.
The woman was indeed Shen Qingyue, the mother of Chen Li and Shen Qingyue. Looking down at her two children in her arms, tears welled in her eyes as her voice turned incredibly gentle. "Li, Yue'er, Mother has finally found you! Are you both alright?"
"Mother, we're fine. It's that Scumbag Dad who wants to kill us!" Shen Qingyue pointed at Chen Yuantu across from them, her tone filled with grievance.
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingyue's gaze turned cold as she looked up at Chen Yuantu, her eyes filled with resentment and anger. After nearly six years, she had shed her former weakness and affection.
Looking at Chen Yuantu, all she felt was the fury of a mother for her children and an icy resolve. "Chen Yuantu, Tiger's Poison Does Not Eat Its Young, yet you don't even spare your own flesh and blood!"
"Today, if you wish to harm my children even a little, you must step over my dead body!"
Chen Yuantu gazed at the suddenly appearing Shen Wanzhou, a flicker of astonishment crossing his eyes before it was quickly replaced by a chilling murderous intent. "You wretched woman, how dare you return!" he gritted through clenched teeth, his eyes filled with malice. These two Little Beasts had stolen my Marquisate Spiritual Vein and slandered This Lord; if I don't kill them, how can I clear my name?
"If you wish to die, This Lord won't mind slaughtering you!"
Shen Wanzhou stood her ground, her aura erupting in an instant as her cultivation level surged straight to the fifth level of the Innate Realm!
"I said it; if you want to harm my children, you must first step over my dead body!" Her voice was steady and powerful, unwavering in its determination.
The two locked eyes in the void, their fierce battle intent palpable.
Chen Yuantu's expression darkened to the extreme. "Since you want to die, then This Lord will grant your wish!"
With that, he immediately began to channel his Spiritual Energy.
At that moment, a voice rang out from the crowd. "Chen Yuantu, if you want to harm my nephew and niece, you'd better see if I agree!"
As he spoke, a young man dressed in a blue robe with a handsome face strode forward confidently. His aura radiated power—he was clearly at the sixth level of the Innate Realm!
Chen Yuantu's gaze sharpened as his expression soured.
"Shen Yunting!"
"Heh! And I'm here too!" Another voice chimed in at that moment.
A towering figure, as solid as an iron tower, stepped forward. It was none other than Shen Yunlei, the elder of the Shen Family.
Chen Yuantu's gaze darkened further, his fists cracking ominously. The appearance of three members of the Shen Family in quick succession left him feeling unsettled. Especially considering how much the two brothers had improved in just over five days! If he allowed the Shen Family to continue developing like this, would there be any good days left for him? A more intense killing intent began to spread in his heart.
Hmph! This Lord will discipline the unruly offspring and rebellious daughter; what business is it of yours? Moreover, even if you all combined your strength, you still wouldn't be able to stop me! Chen Yuantu said coldly, "If you don't want to die, get out of my way!"
Hmph! Chen Yuantu, don't be too arrogant! Shen Yunting snorted coldly, drawing his long sword and pointing it directly at Chen Yuantu. "If you dare to harm my nephew and niece today, the Shen Family will not let this go!"
Overestimating yourselves! Chen Yuantu shot them a cold glance, his Vital Energy surging within him as he prepared to unleash a thunderous attack to slay them all here. What about the Old Madam?
At that moment, another aged voice rang out. An elderly man with white hair slowly emerged from behind the crowd. The people instinctively parted to create a path.
Seeing the newcomer, Shen Yunting and Shen Yunlei quickly bowed in respect.
Father! The newcomer was none other than Shen Zhentian, the head of the Shen Family, and also the father of Chen Li and Shen Qingyue.
Shen Zhentian walked up beside Shen Wanzhou, his authoritative gaze fixed on Chen Yuantu, with a chilling glint in his aged eyes. He stepped forward, his imposing presence pressing down like a mountain, countering Chen Yuantu's arrogance.
His aura firmly stabilized at the eighth level of the Innate Realm, only slightly weaker than Chen Yuantu!
Chen Yuantu, the Old Madam has said that none of our Shen Family members are cowards! Do you really think we fear you? If you dare to harm even a hair on these two children, the Old Madam will risk her life to ensure you lose half of yours!
Chen Yuantu's eyes flickered as he was shaken by this overwhelming aura, feeling increasingly uncertain. He hadn't expected that despite Shen Zhentian's age, he could advance so significantly in just five short hours!
For a moment, his expression began to shift back and forth. What Shen Zhentian said was not without merit.
Although there was a gap in their cultivation levels, Shen Zhentian had rich combat experience. If it came down to a life-or-death situation, he would have to yield. However, watching his efforts go to waste left him feeling deeply unwilling.
As he hesitated, the crowd erupted into thunderous discussions. Look at the children's mother and Grandfather; now that's what true family looks like! This Wuding Hou is truly disgraceful! How could he, a Marquis, resort to such cruelty against two children? Tiger's poison does not eat its young! Who would have thought that this Wuding Hou, Chen Yuantu, is even worse than a beast!
Chen Yuantu's eyelids twitched, and his murderous intent surged. Yet reason reminded him that continuing down this path would only ruin the reputation and prestige he had worked hard to build. Reluctantly, he suppressed his anger and refrained from acting out.
With the situation escalating like this, he no longer held any advantage. If he continued to entangle himself further, it would only lead to more embarrassment. He reined in his aura and spoke in a darker tone: "Shen Zhentian, you are ruthless! But don't forget, those two little devils are still my children; their bloodline and family lineage belong to the Chen Family. The Bloodline Awakening Ceremony is coming up soon! Without participating in the Bloodline Awakening Ceremony, let's see how those two little devils can cultivate!"
"This Lord will be waiting for the day you return them to the Wuding Marquisate!" With that, Chen Yuantu flicked his sleeve and turned away. His back was shrouded in shadows, clearly indicating that he would not let this matter rest easily.
Watching Chen Yuantu's figure disappear from sight, Shen Wanzhou, Shen Zhentian, and the others collectively sighed in relief as their tense nerves finally relaxed. However, there was no trace of joy on their faces; instead, they were overshadowed by a heavy gloom.
The Bloodline Awakening Ceremony loomed like an insurmountable chasm before Chen Li and Shen Qingyue. In the Qian Sheng Empire, martial prowess was paramount; only by demonstrating sufficient talent at the Bloodline Awakening Ceremony could one enter the Imperial Academy for training and gain immense power and noble status. Conversely, what awaited them would be endless ridicule, bullying, and even death. This was something that no one could change.
