Unrivaled Martial Emperor

Chapter 153 - Marching on Chen Clan

Xuanyang Restaurant stood as the iconic structure in Xuanyang City, serving as the epicenter of information exchange.

“Have you heard? The Tan and Liu clans are demanding that the Chen Clan hand over Chen Fan by noon tomorrow, or they'll jointly deploy troops to level the Chen Clan mansion!”

“Really? Chen Fan, the young patriarch of the Chen Clan? I recall he was born a martial trash. How did he stir up trouble with the two clans?”

“You don’t know that? Tan Yunbao tried to abduct Chen Qingqing today; unfortunately for him, Chen Fan had just returned and saw the entire thing. He straight-up crippled Tan Yunbao, slapped Liu Ruyan, and boldly stated they could come for revenge anytime.”

“This... how is this possible? Did he resolve the problem with his dantian and meridians?”

“His father, Chen Zhengqing, has connections with the Spring Autumn Sect and sent him there three years ago. That’s a martial sect filled with experts and countless treasures; they likely resolved it.”

“Even if he can now cultivate, his actions seem too reckless—crippling Tan Yunbao and slapping Liu Ruyan. With the two clans joined by marriage and united against the Chen Clan, he handed them a perfect excuse to strike.”

“No one’s saying otherwise. We can only say that young people are too reckless and like to act on their emotions.”

“I fear the Chen Clan's prosperous days are over. They're finished.”

“We’ll see tomorrow. Let’s see if the Chen Clan surrenders Chen Fan and relinquishes half their assets.”

“......”

The news swiftly spread to the Chen Clan, too, immediately causing panic among the clan members.

The two clans had threatened to unite and flatten their mansion. What should they do?

Meanwhile, Chen Fan had used his blood to heal Chen Qingqing’s injuries, even transforming her innate qualities, turning her into a martial genius.

As he left her residence, he heard the news sent by the two clans, and a cold smile appeared on his face.

“Jointly sending troops to destroy our Chen Clan? Hehe, come as you wish. I’ll make sure it’s a one-way trip!” Chen Fan muttered with a cold smirk before heading toward Chen Tianxiong's courtyard.

Upon arrival, he learned both Chen Tianxiong and Chen Zhengqing were away. The servants said that, due to the news from the two clans, the entire clan had fallen into panic. Many elders even requested to hand over Chen Fan. The two had gone to the Council Hall and were discussing things with the clan's higher-ups.

Earlier, Chen Tianyin had only involved a fraction of the clan elders.

Chen Fan decided to also head over to the Council Hall.

He could hear the intense arguments before he had even entered the hall.

Unhurried, Chen Fan decided to eavesdrop from the outside to gauge the sentiments within the hall.

Most clan elders showed unwavering resolve, ready to fight the two clans head-on.

Evidently, the Chen Clan elders weren’t all soft.

After all, tolerating the bullying of their clan's children would erode the cohesion of the clan.

It didn’t take long before news came from the Chen Clan.

The Chen Clan would be waiting for the armies of the Tan and Liu clans tomorrow at noon!

Once this news circulated, Xuanyang City buzzed with renewed intensity. The unexpected hard-line stance taken by the Chen Clan surprised many.

......

Tan Clan mansion:

“In-laws, the Chen Clan is gearing up for a direct confrontation,” Liu Hong said with a sinister smile.

Tan Feng said, “Isn’t that better for us? We can wipe out the Chen Clan in one stroke and take everything they have. Xuanyang City could become Tanliu City soon.”

“Haha, that’s right. Xuanyang City should be renamed. Tomorrow, we'll raze the Chen Clan entirely, leaving no survivors!” A cruel look appeared on Liu Hong’s face.

As such, the three clans began mobilizing their people simultaneously.

The atmosphere in Xuanyang City became charged with a palpable intent for bloodshed.

Unexpectedly, Chen Clan’s young patriarch had created such a huge wave after being absent for three years. The three major clans were about to go to war!

The night became restless for the people of Xuanyang City, all silently awaiting the unfolding events of the next day.

Something monumental was set to occur, reshaping the city's structure entirely.

However, the prevailing sentiment in Xuanyang City was pessimistic for the Chen Clan.

After all, the Tan and Liu clans had six Qi Grandmasters together, while the Chen Clan only had three. The odds weren’t in their favor.

“Hitting a stone with an egg!”

“I’m afraid the Chen Clan will become history.”

“The three-way split will turn into a two-way from now on.”

“Ah, a sleepless night. Everything depends on tomorrow.”

“Perhaps... the Chen Clan has something up their sleeves.”

“......”

Many people in Xuanyang City couldn’t fall asleep that night, as their hearts refused to calm down.

Amidst this uneasy atmosphere, an uninvited guest approached the Tan Clan mansion.

This person stayed at the Tan Clan mansion for half an hour before leaving.

“So that’s how it is, in-laws. I was wondering why the Chen Clan would take such a tough stance. It turns out that little bastard is very likely a Qi Grandmaster.” Emerging from behind a partition screen, Liu Hong wore a cold smile.

Tan Feng snapped his fingers, a cold light flickering in his eyes. “So what if he’s a Qi Grandmaster? It’s useless even if the Chen Clan doubled their Qi Grandmasters. They will have to die all the same.”

Liu Hong, appearing pleased, added, "Our clans' current strength is beyond the Chen Clan's imagination. But, in-laws, you made a promise to this person—"

Tan Feng waved his hand, interrupting him, and said, “I was merely placating him. Besides, it would work to our advantage if he could help us launch a surprise attack on Chen Tianxiong. We won't need our patriarchs to intervene.”

“Fantastic. I wish tomorrow would come faster. I can no longer wait to flatten the Chen Clan mansion and massacre their people,” Liu Hong said, clapping, his aura brutal.

......

The night passed swiftly, and with the break of dawn, those who had endured a sleepless night eagerly awaited the approaching noon.

However, their anticipation turned to confusion as they observed large groups from the Tan and Liu clans setting off toward the Chen Clan mansion.

“They’re going ahead of schedule?”

The people were puzzled.

However, they quickly reacted to the situation.

The Chen Clan had already declared that they would be waiting for the arrival of the two clans’ armies. Striking early would undoubtedly catch the Chen Clan off guard, potentially minimizing casualties during the battle.

“The great battle is about to start!”

“I feel like my blood is boiling!”

“Such intense murderous qi!”

“Look, the Tan and Liu clans’ men have converged. What a terrifying army, led by four Qi Grandmasters: Tan Feng, Liu Hong, Tan Yunlong, and Liu Rulong!”

“Hmm? The two clans’ old patriarchs aren’t here. Did they think this big of a force is enough to wipe out the Chen Clan?”

“......”

The crowd's hearts quivered as they witnessed the advancing armies of the two clans heading toward the Chen Clan.

The news of the approaching army reached the Chen Clan swiftly. In the mansion square, the Chen Clan's army stood at the ready, their gazes piercing and the atmosphere tense. It was a battle of life and death.

Chen Fan and the others stood at the very front. Chen Tianyin was here, too. As a Qi Grandmaster, he had to be here. He stood next to Chen Tianxiong.

No words were exchanged; everyone awaited the impending clash in silence.

The ground soon echoed with the rhythmic footsteps of the approaching forces, causing a slight tremor.

From a distance, Chen Fan saw a vast, intimidating assembly of armored warriors wielding weapons, marching aggressively toward them.

The Tan and Liu clans’ armies were here!
