389: Black Guard, on the verge of desperation

"What exactly is going on?!"

Black Guard gritted his teeth, looking at the leveled Ying Family and roared.

"And your Hong Family, how dare you try to occupy Tianshu City without Your Majesty's decree?"

"Do you know what crime this is?"

"Hey, Black Guard, don't be angry. When did I say I wanted to occupy Tianshu City?"

Hong Feng replied with a chuckle.

"I'm just here to investigate the Ying Family's extermination."

"The Ying Family is our Hong Family's best friend. If something happened to them and we didn't come to see, what kind of friends would we be?"

"And then you brought your Hong Family's army formation over?" Black Guard looked at the smirking Hong Feng, a murderous impulse surging in his heart.

"Isn't this to maintain stability within the city? Black Guard, please don't take offense."

"If you don't need us, then we'll just leave."

Hong Feng didn't linger. His Hong Family was no match for Black Guard.

One must know that Black Guard was a code name, and this code name was only bestowed upon the strongest person in the Imperial Guard Army.

The corresponding White Guard, on the other hand, was a hound personally trained by His Majesty the Emperor, and his strength was equally formidable.

"Get out of here, and don't let me see you again." Black Guard gave Hong Feng a cold glance, saying nothing more.

"Alright, alright, we're leaving now."

Hong Feng left cheerfully, showing no sign of anger.

Seeing Hong Feng and the Hong Family army formation leave, Black Guard looked at the ruins with a dark expression.

"Even a Moon Rank demonic cultivator was killed. How strong are you exactly?"

Black Guard was now beginning to doubt if he was a match for Chen Heng.

One must know that the old Patriarch of the Ying Family was quite powerful, only a step away from the Sun Rank.

And he was a Sun Rank demonic cultivator. Even if he were to face the old Patriarch of the Ying Family, it wouldn't be so easy.

He would at least need half a day to exterminate the Ying Family, and he couldn't even guarantee that no one would survive.

From the moment he learned about this to arriving here, it only took him two hours, and he still didn't make it in time.

So, the time Chen Heng spent eliminating the Ying Family must have been less than two hours.

"Two Heaven Rank demonic cultivators, one Moon Rank demonic cultivator. This is a monster..."

Black Guard gave a few orders to the Imperial Guard Army beside him and then left. His most important task at the moment was to keep an eye on the Chen Family.

"Damn it, what's going on with this monster? After destroying the Ying Family, he disappeared again."

"Could it be that the Hundred Corpse Tomb holds no attraction for him?"

"Then isn't His Majesty's effort all in vain?"

On the way back to Qiyang City, Black Guard began to ponder other methods.

Since he couldn't wait for him, he could only resort to some despicable means.

For example, threatening him with his family.

"This Chen Heng is not married and has no descendants. His only relatives are his father and his younger sister."

"If I don't make a big enough commotion, it won't be effective. It seems I must plan carefully."

Black Guard had now completely made up his mind, after all, he didn't have much time left.

Once the time was up and he hadn't completed His Majesty's task, he wouldn't be able to continue as Black Guard.

"The matter of me abducting that monster's family must be spread, and the information must be clear."

Black Guard grinned. Since you don't plan to come out, then don't blame me.

"And this way, I don't have to face that monster directly. At that time, His Majesty will naturally take action."

"Heh heh, no matter what kind of monster you are, in front of His Majesty, you are nothing but a weakling!"

Thinking that he wouldn't have to face Chen Heng, Black Guard became even more convinced of his idea.

He knew very well that he was no match for Chen Heng, nor would he be a match for the Xuan Alliance.

But he could end this matter before the Xuan Alliance arrived, and Black Guard was very confident about this.

His direct combat ability was inferior to White Guard's, but in this kind of matter, White Guard was definitely not his opponent.

"I need manpower. It seems I can only use the dead soldiers from the Imperial Guard Army."

"The assembly of dead soldiers will take six days, plus planning, eight days will be enough."

"Chen Heng, I don't believe you still won't show yourself this time!"

...Meanwhile, in the Chen Family Courtyard.

At this time, Snake Green was already in the final stage of Dragon Transformation, with all four Dragon claws fully grown.

She now only had the recently sprouted Dragon horn left. As long as this last Dragon horn grew out, she would successfully transform into a Dragon.

"Almost there, almost there."

Snake Green looked at the evil dragon pearl in her arms, whose energy was becoming sparse, estimating that it wouldn't be enough to support her complete Dragon Transformation.

Moreover, the massive amount of Yao Power accumulated in her body wasn't just for show. Although its quality wasn't as good as the evil dragon pearl, it was sufficient as a backup plan.

And the various limbs that had inexplicably grown on her body earlier had also disappeared. Her body surface was now completely covered by thick Dragon scales.

However, the blood-red vertical single eye on her chest was still there, fortunately, it didn't have any impact on Snake Green.

"Master, I will definitely become your helper, not just a pet..."

Snake Green's eyes were fierce and firm, almost frantically absorbing the energy within the evil dragon pearl.

Outside the courtyard, Zhu Ri and Zhu Chang, the siblings, were accompanying Chen Fugui.

"Uncle Chen, I think you don't need to worry. Snake Green is in a very good state right now, and her Yao Power is getting stronger and stronger."

Zhu Chang saw Chen Fugui's worried face and, after thinking for a moment, still offered comfort.

"Sigh, no matter what, you are all like family now. How can I not worry?"

Chen Fugui sighed. This was his flaw; he liked to worry about others.

He used to always worry about Chen Heng, but ever since he saw him once last time, he had never worried again.

He was now very certain that his son should be invincible in the world.

At least in his perception, Chen Heng was invincible.

"Family, huh..." Zhu Ri looked at Chen Fugui with complicated eyes. He didn't know how to describe this Human Race.

They were clearly Yao Race, two races that should be at odds like fire and water, yet now they could get along so harmoniously.

Didn't you see how Zhu Chang was like a child now? It was all Chen Fugui's doing.

Every day, they had good food and drinks, and various precious Materials that Mr. Chen left for Patriarch Chen. They enjoyed them greatly.

Patriarch Chen treated them so well that it was hard not to become dependent on him.

"Alright, Zhu Chang, we've rested for half an hour. Hurry back and continue guarding the gate."

Zhu Ri tapped Zhu Chang's head.

"Uncle Chen, then my brother and I will go do our work now."

Zhu Chang waved at Chen Fugui, following behind Zhu Ri.

"Good, there's braised pork tonight. This dish was taught to the kitchen by my son."

Chen Fugui nodded. He quite liked this pair of big tigers.

Although they looked a bit scary, they were actually not too mentally mature, similar to Chen Heng.

Chen Fugui simply raised them as his children, never lacking them anything good to eat or drink.

"Sigh, this brat has been gone for such a long time again, he doesn't even know to come back and see his father."

Chen Fugui glanced at Snake Green's small courtyard, sighed, and left with his hands behind his back.
