170: Cold Blade Tower assassins, close the door and unleash the hounds!
Chen Chuanwen looked at the high-spirited Chen Changsheng and couldn't help but be dazed. In his memory, Chen Changsheng had always been cautious and acted only after careful planning, rarely having such a domineering and casual moment.
"Second Brother, don't just stand there dazed. Don't you believe what Father said!"
Chen Chuanjie smiled and patted Chuanwen's shoulder. Chen Chuanwen looked at Chen Changsheng carefully again and asked uncertainly:
"Father, are we really going to fight to the death with the Cold Blade Tower and the Lin Family?"
Chen Changsheng nodded and said to Chuanwen with a smile:
"[Remember this site's domain name, look for Taiwan novels at kn.com, super powerful]"
"After today, besides the Three Great Immortal Clans in Annan Prefecture, no other Family will need to be feared by our Chen Family!"
Seeing Chen Changsheng's affirmative answer, although Chen Chuanwen had many thoughts in his mind, he finally nodded and said:
"Alright, Father, I'll go down the mountain now to invite Uncle Mantou!"
Chen Chuanwen went down the mountain to invite Steamed Bun. Chen Changsheng sat in the courtyard drinking tea, Howling Heaven lay obediently at his feet, and the Ice Soul King Scorpion lay lazily on his shoulder.
As for Chuanwu and Chuanjie, because they knew the power of the Ice Soul King Scorpion, they were not in a hurry. The two stood behind Chen Changsheng and waited silently.
A fire was also burning in their hearts. Their Chen Family had always been low-key and enduring, and now they finally had the chance to make their own voice heard in Annan Prefecture. The two of them felt a faint urge to let out a long, joyful roar.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, two hours had gone by.
Chen Chuanjie and Steamed Bun came to the courtyard. Seeing Chen Changsheng, Steamed Bun's cold Face twitched slightly. He quickly walked to Chen Changsheng, lowered his head, and cupped his fists, saying:
"Lord!"
Chen Changsheng quickly stood up and supported Steamed Bun. He patted Steamed Bun's shoulder, a hint of emotion appearing on his Face. Back when the Chen Family was weak, Steamed Bun was the backbone that supported the Chen Family!
Now that the Chen Family had grown, Steamed Bun, who was in the Innate Realm, could no longer keep up with the Chen Family's pace, but Chen Changsheng still remembered Steamed Bun's dedication to him.
A pair of Lord and servant, brothers for a lifetime, Chen Changsheng had never forgotten!
"Steamed Bun, congratulations on finding your enemy. You'll be able to take your revenge soon!"
Chen Changsheng said to Steamed Bun with a smile. Steamed Bun's cold Face had no expression, but a hint of apology appeared in his eyes. He lowered his head and said:
"It's I who have brought trouble to the Lord!"
Chen Changsheng laughed, then looked at Steamed Bun sincerely and said in a low tone:
"What are you saying? Do you still remember our promise?"
"As long as you do not fail me, I, Chen Changsheng, will never fail Steamed Bun!"
Chen Changsheng's words were the same as when Steamed Bun first acknowledged him as his master. Steamed Bun's cold Face finally showed some emotion. He pulled out a forced smile and said to Chen Changsheng:
"Steamed Bun is willing to go through fire and water for the Chen Family for generations!"
Chen Changsheng felt Steamed Bun's sincere and warm emotions and couldn't help but laugh loudly. The oath between this Lord and servant had finally survived the trial of time, and neither had changed.
"Steamed Bun, tell me about your past. How did you end up having a grudge with that Cold Blade Tower?"
Chen Changsheng sat back at the table, took a sip of tea, and then asked Steamed Bun.
"I am an orphan. I was raised by the Cold Blade Tower since childhood to become an assassin. After that, I kept killing for the Cold Blade Tower. When I was thirty, the Cold Blade Tower asked me to kill a woman born in a Yin year and Yin month to offer her Hearts Blood!"
"I intended to kill, but fell in love with that woman at first sight. I protected her and fought our way out, blocking the Cold Blade Tower's pursuers alone. I was captured by mistake, and they broke my clavicle, leaving me to beg for the rest of my life until I met the Lord!"
Hearing Steamed Bun's words, Chen Changsheng couldn't help but sigh. Steamed Bun was also a man of misfortune. He followed Steamed Bun's words and asked:
"Where did that woman escape to? Can she still be found?"
"I looked for her. She's already dead, her heart pierced by an assassin from the Cold Blade Tower to take her Hearts Blood!"
Steamed Bun's expression was still cold and his tone calm, but his eyes were full of killing intent, like a sharp cold blade!
"My condolences. Today, I will take revenge for you and your woman!"
Chen Changsheng patted Steamed Bun's shoulder, a hint of anger also flashing in his eyes. Not for anything else, but because Chen Changsheng was someone who protected his own!
"Father, people are coming down the mountain. There's movement in the Formation!"
Just then, Chuanwen's voice came over. Chen Changsheng sat at the table, drank a cup of tea, and then said to Chuanwen with a smile:
"It should be that Cold Blade Tower. Open the Formation and let them come up to meet their deaths!"
Chen Changsheng smiled coldly, then poured a cup of tea and waited quietly for the other party to come up the mountain.
Chuanwen left quietly to deactivate the mountain protection array. After all, the Chen Family's Four Directions Cloud and Mist Mountain Protection Array was something even a Gu God Cult Elder had to rely on a Secret Treasure to break. If Chuanwen didn't deactivate the Formation, these assassins from the Cold Blade Tower would never have a chance to step out of the Formation in their lives!
After a while, Chuanwen returned. He nodded to Chen Changsheng and then stood behind him.
A moment later, three figures silently sneaked into the courtyard. Although their movements were skilled, in front of the four Cultivators like Chen Changsheng, it was like being under a spotlight.
"Since you're in, don't hide anymore. Are you the assassins from that bullshit Cold Blade Tower?"
Chen Changsheng slowly drank a cup of tea and then said in a low voice to the empty courtyard.
There was no sound or shadow in the courtyard.
Chen Changsheng frowned, looked at Steamed Bun, and said with a smile: "Are the assassins from your Cold Blade Tower all this arrogant? They don't give me any Face at all!"
A cold light flashed in Steamed Bun's eyes. He cupped his fists to Chen Changsheng and said:
"Lord, do you want me to catch them and bring them before you!"
Steamed Bun was also a veteran in the assassin industry. He had also sensed the traces of these three assassins. With an existing grudge, Steamed Bun wished he could kill them right now!
"No need to trouble ourselves. Just sit and watch the show!"
"Old Third, close the door and release the dog!"
Chen Changsheng sneered at Chuanjie. Chuanjie also chuckled. His Magic Power surged, and the door of the Courtyard House was immediately closed.
And Howling Heaven, who was lying at Chen Changsheng's feet, suddenly stood up, let out a howl toward a nearby tree, and flew out like a sharp arrow from a bow.
The three people hidden behind the tree were instantly startled. They didn't expect to be discovered just after sneaking in, nor did they expect a hound at that middle-aged man's feet to be so fierce!
This was no ordinary hound; it was practically a Essence Spirit that could bite an Innate Master to death!
"Quick, leave! Fight our way out!"
The three Cold Blade Tower assassins reacted quickly. They knew their mission had failed and that they had kicked a steel plate.
Could a Family that raised a Essence Spirit like a house dog be an ordinary Family?
Among the three of them, only one was an Innate, and the other two were just at the Blood Refining Peak. Their original target was only one Innate, but who would have thought they would encounter such an unusual Family in the blink of an eye.
They truly had suffering they couldn't voice; they had truly intruded into a Celestial Household by mistake!
