Chapter 321: Chapter 275: Be an Adult’s Dog! (Seeking monthly ticket)_2
"Second brother, how dare you!"
"You truly deserve to die, how dare you, without me, Liu Tiansheng, could you have reached this point today."
Following that, his pupils trembled violently, his face showing a rush of anger mixed with a flash of panic, because he saw his own second brother actually standing up.
"What are you trying to do?"
He yelled frantically, using all his strength to break free from the Golden Rope, his face turned red, but it was all in vain.
In his panic, he retreated, his body collapsing to the ground like a wriggling worm, his face filled with horror, watching his younger brother step forward, his tone becoming hysterical.
"Stop right there."
"How can you make a deal with a tiger, and trust him,"
"He surely will devour our Liu family down to the last bone."
As he shouted, the current head of the Liu family’s pupils were filled with fear, he looked towards Chen Yuan’s direction, crying out for mercy.
"Lord, spare my life."
"Let me go, let me go"
"I will be as a cow or a horse, let the entire Liu family bow down and serve you, be your dog."
"Just let me..."
Before he could finish, a surge of powerful energy struck, pressing directly on the top of his skull.
The sight of his dear brother, seeing him struggling at death’s doorstep and even saying he would become Chen Yuan’s dog, caused his originally measured steps to suddenly leap, raising his hand, his expression turning extremely vicious.
His hand fiercely slapped his own elder brother’s head.
The sound of breaking bones resounded.
Red and white matter splattered all over.
Following that hand, grabbed a shadow, a miserable scream echoed, and then it was crushed by his palm.
Having done all this, Liu Tianming’s hand did not tremble, his face did not flush, only his eyes filled with gloomy ferocity. However, as he turned sideways, and his eyes met the golden blazing pupils above the steps, he suddenly flinched, the ferocity in his eyes dissipating like a tide.
His bloodstained hand bowed towards Chen Yuan, his voice somewhat trembling.
"Thank you, Lord, for facilitating this!"
At that moment, Liu Tianming harbored wild ambitions, but faced Chen Yuan with absolute restraint.
He had initially thought to borrow the power of this lord, but instead, the lord made him kill his own brother with his hand. After this slap, there was no turning back.
Killing one’s brother and father, in the noble families based on familial succession, is considered a great misdeed, drawing cursing and rejection.
But compared to the ambition for power, what was that?
He had seen the glory of the Yun Family, and the substantial rewards, now that the Ninth Mountain was ascendant, it was a good time. With the Liu family currently leaderless, a decisive move was needed.
A petty man isn’t a gentleman, no venom no man.
At that moment, Chen Yuan’s eyes shimmered with golden light, capturing the entire scene, then the golden light retracted.
Looking at the lifeless corpse of the Liu Family head on the ground, then at the fateful remaining branches of the Yun Family, his gaze remained unswayed, simply nodding,
"Release your Mud Ball, I grant you a Divine Thunder, in case of minor troubles, you may use this thunder."
Saying so, he raised his hand, and fingers cracking loudly, horrifying multicolored electrical arcs danced between his fingers.
With a flick of his fingertips, a thumb-sized bolt of lightning shot directly into the space between Liu Tianming’s brows.
Suddenly Liu Tianming’s body twitched violently, an intense pain seemed to tear his brain apart.
His teeth nearly crushed.
However, this pain only lasted for two to three breaths.
Chen Yuan retracted his hand, then spoke,
"You can leave now!"
"If at this point, you still can’t secure the position of the Liu family’s head, then it means my judgment was poor. Once in position, try to persuade other forces, if successful, I will not be stingy with rewards."
Hearing till the end, Liu Tianming trembled,
"I won’t fail your trust, Lord."
"I will take my leave now."
As he spoke, he bowed nearly ninety degrees, almost sticking his butt out, took five or six steps back before turning around and quickly departing.
Once he crossed the high threshold and exited the Heavenly Patrol Hall, a trace of subtle excitement flickered in his eyes as his figure gradually disappeared into the distance.
At this moment, inside the Heavenly Patrol Hall, Yun Tiansheng who stood to the side, watched the retreating figure of the Second Branch of the Liu Family move forward to the front of the hall, bowed to Chen Yuan, his expression somewhat flickering.
"Does the General truly intend to take this person into his service?"
"This man is profoundly scheming and ruthless in action, stopping at nothing for power. I fear he might backfire on you, sir."
Yun Tiansheng’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, having a poor impression of this member of the Second Branch of the Liu Family. Being from a noble family himself, he felt some apprehension and disgust towards the other’s actions, inevitably leading him to speak a few more words.
Everyone sits in a different position and thus arrives at different conclusions.
Chen Yuan did not respond immediately. Extending his hand, he drew the scroll that had fallen on the ground into his hand, then patted the dust off with his other hand before finally speaking in a serene tone:
"Of course, I am aware of these matters. This person has a dirty foundation, and the crimes recorded in this scroll are not few."
As he spoke, he shook the scroll in his hand and looked up at Yun Tiansheng.
"Tiansheng."
"Present!"
"This world is never simply black or white. Anyone who climbs to a certain height inevitably stands on a mountain of bones. Just like the Four Sects and Eight Families in this city, and those second and third-rate families, all the major and minor powers — are there truly any who are clean beneath them? Even I, who have attacked and extinguished households, have killed countless people, among whom there were surely innocents. Do they not perceive me as an executioner, a murderous demon?"
"Cherish what you cherish, become the person you want to be, that is enough."
Chen Yuan said this, took two steps forward, looked outside the grand hall, his eyes deep and solemn,
"Right now, the frontlines are tight, the Overseers are nearly exhausted, we must send these people out, unite all forces that can be united, and carve out a path for ourselves."
"At this moment, when I speak, these people might yield under pressure, show some respect superficially but secretly defy. But what about after they reach the battlefield? These people might stab me in the back. Therefore, we need sharp swords, we need biting dogs, and we must settle this matter quickly!"
"As for your concerns just now, I have my own methods."
The life and death of others are but a thought away from me, and my Divine Thunder is not so easily taken.
Chen Yuan spoke and stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze flickering; his plan was, of course, to first purge Jingguan City, then spread his influence to all the districts of Shu, mobilizing them.
A colossal task and a complicated situation, the difficulty is imaginable.
Especially considering those fellows who came from the Central Plains.
Swift actions to cut through confusion are necessary!
But none of these are the main point.
"I understand now!"
At this moment, what Yun Tiansheng heard from the General was eye-opening and enlightening, the position he stood limiting his thoughts.
His own General’s methods did not concern just one person or one family, but were about controlling the overall situation. Now it seems that yesterday’s capture and imprisonment of those twenty or thirty Heavenly Pass Experts was no impulsive act but a strategy with profound consideration.
First imprison these forces from various sides, isolate them from the outside world, let external forces expose their weaknesses and stir up chaos, then take the opportunity to strike.
The General’s methods are truly brilliant!
Chen Yuan did not realize that his subordinate had thought so extensively in a flash.
He reclaimed his gaze from outside, directing it towards him.
"Next, you few also need to start getting busy."
"I will spare no effort, General. Do you have another plan?" Yun Tiansheng immediately perked up, his mind becoming active. After spending a long time on the battlefield and suddenly having a break, he felt restless.
"I was actually planning to give you a few more days of leave, seeing you like this," Chen Yuan said with a smile, shaking his head.
"You are now a general, though it is an honorary position I created, but did you see my intention?"
"Expand the forces!" Yun Tiansheng quickly answered.
As the former Leading Military Officer of the Ninth Mountain, he clearly knew the most urgent issue for the Ninth Mountain now.
The Ninth Mountain Troops only had over a thousand people, with some of them disabled.
Of course, they needed to expand the army!
"Correct!"
"The real challenge is the Demon breaching through. It might happen soon. My Ninth Mountain must quickly strengthen our own force, recuperate and reproduce. You go back first, wait for my order."
"General, I still have one more matter. The Sect Master of the Four Seas Sect wants to..."
Not long after, in the mountainside villa, a Deputy Sect Master of the Four Seas Sect was released.
