23: Chapter 23 Third Life, Reborn as the Boss of the Opponent's Family (The End)

As a beam of light flashed by, Chen Shi returned once again to the familiar high-dimensional space.

The moment his feet touched the ground, the hatred pent up in his chest exploded. He cursed at his enemies, his words filled with vile, unbearable obscenities and the most malicious, filthy curses.

It was unknown how much time had passed before the violent heaving of his chest finally subsided. The madness in his scarlet eyes faded slightly, leaving behind only an ice-cold, bone-chilling calmness.

Gritting his teeth, he began to recall and dissect the scene before his death, grinding the actions and words of those enemies over and over in his mind.

Yes, the relief he felt at the final moment of his life had been forced; he truly had no other options.

He wanted to jump up and curse those people, but he could not move at all, so he was forced to accept it.

Although he had anticipated it, watching his clansmen bleed all over the Chen residence one by one, watching the beloved Yun Qingxue fall under siege, and watching himself and his parents being dragged into the Chen family's main hall like dead dogs and pressed down...

How could he not hate them? How could he possibly be at peace?

If he were truly going to die, he would certainly be at peace.

After all, Big Brother would avenge them. Even if he could not wipe them all out, he would surely find the vast majority of the enemies and slay them one by one.

He had also arranged for the seeds of the Chen family to scatter and leave early on; even if the Chen family were destroyed, his surviving descendants would live well.

But the key was that he would not truly die. Even if his soul were scattered, it could not cause his complete death.

First of all, judging by the actions and words of the ringleaders, they were definitely Big Brother's competitors in the Sacred Land—that is, fellow Inner Sect Disciples.

Thinking of this, Chen Shi's pupils suddenly shrank to pinpoints, and a chill rushed straight up his spine to the top of his head.

Inner Sect Disciples, which meant they were in the Copper Bone Realm.

After all, in the Sacred Land, Silver Marrow Realm experts were either Elders holding power or one-in-a-ten-thousand True Disciples; they would not stoop to such low-handed tactics.

But as fellow Copper Bone Realm cultivators, how could these people be so strong?

That Profound-grade mid-tier protective formation, which had guarded the Chen family for decades, was like paper in their hands, collapsing at the slightest touch.

Not to mention that later, after one of them personally took action, in just a short while, of the grand Chen family, only he and his parents remained alive.

One must know that all these years, he had been cultivating diligently without pause, having long pushed his cultivation to the late stage of the Iron Skin Realm.

When the incident occurred, there were even several clan elders at the early stage of the Copper Bone Realm sitting in the clan, and with the formation, they should not have been defeated so thoroughly.

It was this fluke that, even when he clearly sensed a fatal crisis, allowed him to let Yun Qingxue stay behind, ultimately resulting in the outcome of a mantis trying to stop a chariot and losing everything.

And those who charged at the front, killing the most viciously, were likely the fish that slipped through the net among the enemies Big Brother had destroyed over the years.

He had no impression of most of them, but one figure wielding a sword made him recognize them at a glance.

It was the ancestor of the Fang Family, formerly the number one noble family in Yanbei Prefecture, known as the "Gentleman Sword," Fang Xiaoru.

That man was naturally left-handed; when holding a sword, his knuckles would subconsciously curl slightly, and before striking, there was a very subtle wrist-sinking motion.

These habits were carved into his bones; there was no one else like him. Even if he turned to ash, Chen Shi would still recognize him!

He still remembered that when Big Brother first started to rise, Fang Xiaoru was the first to come up and show goodwill to the Chen family.

Later, when the Chen family moved into the capital of Yanbei Prefecture, it was he who busied himself back and forth, putting in countless efforts.

Even later, as the Chen family grew stronger day by day and gradually replaced the Fang Family as the number one noble family, he always maintained a friendly and harmonious appearance.

He even went so far as to disregard his status as a late-stage Copper Bone Realm cultivator, lowering himself to befriend him—a junior in the Iron Skin Realm—and becoming sworn brothers.

It was precisely this disguise of his over the decades that had blinded even Chen Shi, with his experience from multiple lives, leading him to truly believe him and think he genuinely wanted to cling to Chen Xuan's coattails.

So, this was no gentleman at all, but a venomous snake that had been hiding for decades, waiting specifically for a fatal strike!

The catastrophe that befell the Chen family today, those remnants of Big Brother's enemies, were nine times out of ten contacted and gathered together by him in secret.

This venomous snake likely had ulterior motives toward the Chen family from the very beginning.

If the Chen family remained safe, he would naturally be willing to lower his head and act submissive, truly clinging to their coattails.

But if the Chen family encountered trouble, relying on his consistent behavior and persona, no one would likely suspect him.

Thinking of this, Chen Shi clenched his knuckles until they turned white, his joints cracking, and he let out an inexplicable cold laugh.

He only hoped Big Brother would not be deceived by this hypocrite's mask.

But he knew in his heart that Big Brother valued relationships and righteousness; upon learning of the Chen family's tragic demise, he would surely go mad and investigate to the end, grinding these enemies who jumped out into the open into dust to exact the blood debt for the Chen family.

However, the struggles within the Sacred Land were intertwined and complex. These people dared to defy the world and attack the Chen family, so they must have long prepared backup plans and hidden escape routes.

There might even be a deeper mastermind whose true face he had not even seen clearly.

Even if Big Brother had heaven-defying means, he might not be able to completely wipe out all the rats in the gutter and the maggots hiding in the dark.

This debt, stained with the blood of hundreds of Chen family members, could not be repaid by Big Brother alone.

Chen Shi slowly closed his eyes, carving the faces of those enemies, the actions of them wielding their blades, and every word they had spoken deep into the depths of his soul, stroke by stroke.

This vendetta must be avenged.

In the next life, he would find these rats in the gutter one by one and exterminate their entire clans!

He would even shake the yolks of the eggs in their homes and drag the earthworms out of the ground to chop them in half.

A moment later, Chen Shi calmed down completely and began to check the simulator.

[The Third Life: You continued to adopt the strategy of focusing points on family background, born into the Chen family behind the Liegu Martial Arts Hall, becoming the second legitimate son of the Chen family.

You originally thought that given the operating style of the Liegu Martial Arts Hall, the Chen family would definitely not be good people, but getting along with them was unexpectedly pleasant.

In this reincarnation, your luck exploded, and you unexpectedly gained a genius elder brother.

The fame and protection he brought allowed the scale of the Chen family's development to far exceed your initial family background by several times.

Although the price was that you seemed to live your whole life under his halo, you did not care at all, with only one word left in your heart: Satisfying! Satisfying! Satisfying!

Unfortunately, you succeeded because of him, and you failed because of him.

At the critical moment when Chen Xuan was in seclusion breaking through, the Chen family was slaughtered by his competitors and enemies working together, and no one present escaped.

Fortunately, in this life, you completed your first life leap, initially unsealing part of your true spirit essence, awakening the Danger Perception talent, and early on, you scattered a batch of Chen family seeds.

Only the death of your wife, Yun Qingxue, left you unable to find peace, and you swore that this vendetta must be avenged!

You had a perfect start in this life, everything went smoothly, and you successfully succeeded to the position of head of the Chen family.

After years of development, your influence spread across several surrounding prefectures, and even people in the prefecture capital heard of your deeds, stirring up quite a storm throughout the entire Huangyan Prefecture that did not dissipate for a hundred years.]

Evaluation: Green Nine-Star

Reward: 900 Points

True Spirit Talent: Danger Perception

Chen Shi was a bit surprised; he did not expect that in this life he would actually get a Green Nine-Star evaluation, charging straight to the top.

As expected, one must go all-in; going all-in is the way to go!

Going all-in with 70 points, now it has directly become 900 points, more than a tenfold increase!

However, Chen Shi still had some self-awareness; the credit for being able to get such a high evaluation this time mostly belonged to Big Brother Chen Xuan.

Especially since he had already successfully broken through and would inevitably avenge the Chen family, which allowed the scope and duration of the Chen family incident to reach such a level.

After all, a Silver Marrow Martial Lord has a lifespan of three hundred years. This realm evolves bone marrow, sublimates the entire body's blood, and allows for flight, with the will manifesting and transforming into substance; it is a true high-level life form.]

However, the point allocation strategy for the next life must be carefully considered.

Should he continue to go all-in, or should he reserve some points?
