Chapter 57: Fury Of The Shao Family Head
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Capital city, Shao family.
The two stone lions at the entrance were lifelike. They were actually carved out of top-grade ice crystal spirit jade. Their eyeballs were inlaid with top-grade spirit stones. Threads of spiritual energy leaked out, and they actually felt like they were about to come to life at any moment.
The walls of the courtyard clearly did not look very high, but they were surrounded by clouds and mist, as if they were shrouded in a layer of mysterious veil. The scene inside could not be clearly seen from the outside. It was obvious that there was a formation blocking it, and it added an invisible sense of majesty to it.
All of this was enough to show how generous the Shao family was. As one of the ancient aristocratic families in the capital city, they naturally had their own foundation.
The current head of the family, Shao Yuchen’s father, Shao Feng, had quite the temperament and skills. He was also very powerful, which allowed the Shao family’s overall standard to advance by leaps and bounds.
As he was meditating on the spot, he seemed to have sensed something. He suddenly opened his eyes and frowned. “What’s going on? The mark that I left in Chen ‘er’s body was actually erased. Could it be that he encountered some danger?”
Just as he was about to send someone to inquire about the situation, the ancestral hall suddenly sent someone over.
“Family… family head.”
Looking at the servant’s trembling appearance, the uneasy feeling in his heart grew more and more. he shouted sternly, “If you have something to say, say it quickly! What are you stuttering about!”
“I don’t know what happened just now. Young master Chen’s life lamp suddenly went out.”
Every member of the Shao family would have a life lamp to ensure that the family would be able to observe their safety in real time. If the life lamp was lit, the person would be alive. If the life lamp went out, the person would be dead. Now that the life lamp went out, it meant that something bad had happened to Shao Yuchen.
Shao Feng walked quickly to the ancestral hall. The evil aura around him surged, and his face was frighteningly gloomy. The people along the way were scared like quails. They were trembling in fear and did not dare to make a sound. They did not know what had happened.
The ancient ancestral hall was filled with many lamps. There were also special people who cleaned and guarded it. The flickering candlelight was like a boat floating on the surface of the sea. They appeared solemn and serious.
Shao Feng looked closely. As expected, the life lamp that represented Shao Yuchen was pitch-black. he shouted angrily, “Who is it? Who hurt my son? !”
Shao Feng had three sons and one daughter. Shao Yuchen was the youngest. Although his strength was not as strong as his older brothers and sisters, he was extremely sweet-tongued and often accompanied his side.
Therefore, he doted on his son very much. When he heard the bad news, he simply could not accept it. The spiritual energy around his body revolved like a heavy mountain, pressing down on the servants until they could not breathe. They knelt on the ground, their faces pale, and their foreheads were drenched in sweat.
If it wasn’t that they were in the ancestral hall, even the surrounding buildings would have been destroyed by his murderous aura.
“I’m sorry for your loss, master.”
At this moment, a green light flew into the ancestral hall.
“Master, Look! This is a message from the Spirit Beast Death Warrior, Firefly.”
Shao Feng’s eyes were like torches. He saw the little bug circling in the air and finally landing on Shao Yuchen’s life lamp.
Firefly’s offensive ability was not great and it was not of much use. However, it could send back the last image of its master when he was in danger. This way, the Shao family would follow the clues to find that person no matter where they were.
A tooth for a tooth, a life for a life.
This was also the reason why Shao Yuchen was so arrogant and domineering outside. Unfortunately, he had not even had the time to say it out loud before his body was dismembered under Lin Bai’s sword. Naturally, Lin Bai did not know about it.
Shao Feng said sinisterly, “I want to see who harmed my son –”
In an instant, Liu Ying’s light shone brightly, and a figure appeared in the air. It was Shao Yuchen.
“No, don’t kill me.”
Hearing the familiar voice, Shao Feng’s eyes reddened. He saw Shao Yuchen laying on the ground in a sorry state. There was another person standing in front of him, but because of the angle, his appearance could not be seen clearly.
The surroundings were in a mess, and there were sword marks all over. One could imagine how intense the battle was just now.
“You’re too noisy.”
The extremely cold male voice was like the arrival of the god of death. Immediately after, an incomparably huge sword condensed in the air. It was like a green mountain crushing over. It carried a force that could destroy everything and covered Shao Yuchen’s head.
Even though they were just watching, they could feel the incomparably sharp sword intent within. Everyone subconsciously retreated, not to mention Shao Yuchen who was within it.
Looking at the huge sword slashing down, Shao Feng’s eyes were about to split open. His voice was like a loud bell. Some of those with low cultivation felt as if their eardrums were about to be pierced, and bright red blood dripped out. “How dare you!”
Unfortunately, it could not change the outcome.
In the next second, specks of red spread out, and the scene was suddenly stained with blood. It gradually became dim, and one could vaguely see the shadow of a wooden sword. Although it was blurry, it was real.
Shao Feng’s eyes were completely red when he saw Shao Yuchen’s tragic death with his own eyes. It was as if he was an evil ghost that had crawled out of Hell.
“Kill someone and pay with your life! The pain of losing a child! No matter who you are, I will make you pay a painful price. I will hunt you down to the end of the world. Your family will also be punished because of you. The men in your family will forever be in hell, and the women will be slaves for generations. I will make you regret what you have done today.”
Shao Feng cursed in waves. Even his voice had become hoarse, making people shudder in fear.
Shao Yuchen’s death was like a lingering shadow that shrouded the Shao family. Other than the eldest brother of the Shao family, a few of the Shao family’s children were summoned back when they heard the bad news because they could not rush back in time due to going out for training.
“Father, don’t be too sad. I will definitely avenge my fourth brother.”
The one who spoke was Shao Yuchen’s second brother, Shao Yuxuan. He looked like a gentle and refined young man, but his eyes were a little bleak.
“If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have let him go to that remote place. I don’t know where Yuchen heard that there was a sword immortal’s inheritance there, but he stubbornly wanted to go and take a look. Who would have thought that he would be killed by such a vicious person.”
Shao Feng sighed and looked extremely remorseful.
“This is not father’s fault. If you want to blame someone, blame that culprit. I will definitely not let him off! However, based on fourth brother’s strength, no matter what, he was the one who drew the sword there. Moreover, there were other people around him. How could he be completely annihilated?”
Shao Feng’s eyes were filled with darkness. “I reckon that the odds are against him. I’ve already sent people to inquire about it, but there’s no news from him. Unfortunately, the video that the firefly sent back doesn’t have the detailed appearance of the murderer. It only has this sword.”
Looking at the blueprint in his hand, Shao Yuxuan said in disbelief, “Could this wooden sword be the murder weapon?” He looked at it carefully. The wooden sword was ordinary, and there was nothing special about it.
Shao Feng smiled coldly.
“Aren’t the colleges in the capital holding a competition recently? Send someone to invite them over. Since Chen ‘er was killed in their mystic realm, the murderer must be from there. Moreover, he’s quite powerful. We can take this opportunity to find him.”
Shao Yuxuan asked in confusion, “Why don’t we force them to hand him over? Anyway, we have clues about the murder weapon. Let’s see who wears this wooden sword.”
Shao Feng shook his head and said, “This will easily alert the enemy. Moreover, he can change the sword that he carries.. Most importantly, in these troubled times, it’s better not to be caught by others.”
