276: Ten days

After Jiang Chen decapitated Family Head Zhao Lingtian...

He released his Divine Soul power to scan the mist of blood.

Ensuring that no one was left alive.

At this moment, his gaze shifted to a group of people gathered about ten miles away, and he immediately frowned.

In an instant, his figure charged toward the direction of those people.

Boom!

Jiang Chen's figure arrived before them almost instantaneously.

For a moment, everyone stood frozen in place, not even daring to breathe.

Some instinctively wanted to flee, but after a second thought, they stayed put; if they made any rash moves now, they feared Jiang Chen would instantly obliterate them.

Had they not seen it? In front of Jiang Chen, the survival time of those many experts from the Zhao Family was no different from that of mosquitoes.

Even if fifty mosquitoes were to start a fight, it wouldn't be that simple.

Furthermore, this killing god before them looked so incredibly young.

Who exactly was this person?

The Guardian War God of the Great Lan Dynasty? An ancient protector? Or perhaps the Reincarnation of some Great Emperor?

However, Jiang Chen did not remain silent for long; otherwise, the mere Aura emanating from him would have been more than these people could bear.

"Are you external help invited by the Zhao Family, or just passing through?"

Jiang Chen asked.

Among this group of people, there were both strong and weak individuals.

With their strength, it seemed the Zhao Family wouldn't have even looked at them, but it was possible they were hired thugs or entities intending to plunder resources while the Great Lan Dynasty was weak.

"Re... Reporting to My Lord, we are just passing through... we have absolutely no relation to the Zhao Family!"

A quick-witted person understood the implication as soon as he heard Jiang Chen's words.

Jiang Chen's meaning was that he was clearing the field.

What a joke.

Even if they were truly invited help, in a situation like the one just now, who would dare claim to be from the Zhao Family? The only way to survive was to distance themselves from the Zhao Family.

"In that case, you may leave."

Jiang Chen waved his hand and said.

He did not start a massacre among these people.

Jiang Chen was not some kind of monstrous beast that devoured everyone he saw.

There was no need to care about those unrelated to the Zhao Family.

Unless the other party provoked him, Jiang Chen would not consider taking action to kill them.

In private, Jiang Chen was actually a fairly easy person to get along with.

Hearing Jiang Chen's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Without realizing it, their backs were already soaked with sweat.

There was no helping it; the pressure Jiang Chen exerted was simply too overwhelming.

How could it not be strong?

Even if the other three great families joined forces and sent out their Family elites, it would be impossible to annihilate all these members of the Zhao Family so quickly.

The only explanation...

Jiang Chen was a Martial Emperor Realm powerhouse!

An existence in the Martial Emperor Realm.

And he was so young.

If he continued to grow in the future, wouldn't he be comparable to a Domain Lord!?

Everyone felt extremely fortunate to have come here and witnessed such a legendary scene.

After receiving Jiang Chen's permission, everyone bowed one after another.

Then they turned and fled.

"Wait a moment."

Just as everyone was preparing to use their movement techniques to escape this place as quickly as possible,

Jiang Chen suddenly called out again.

The group immediately stopped in unison.

They all turned back, looking at Jiang Chen with incomparable respect.

Not a single person thought of taking this chance to escape; they all stayed obediently in place.

Because they knew that in the face of Jiang Chen's power, it was impossible for them to escape.

If someone tried to be the first to run, they might very well be killed instantly.

"May I ask what orders Senior has for us?"

The quick-witted man from before asked with a smile.

"I acted too quickly just now and forgot to leave a survivor."

"You all should be from the Lingcang Domain, so please help me spread a message."

"In ten days, I will go to annihilate the Zhao Family. Those who leave the Zhao Family voluntarily before I arrive, I may spare."

Jiang Chen thought for a moment.

If he didn't give a warning and just went straight to exterminate the clan, there would inevitably be some innocent people involved.

So, he simply asked these people to help pass the word.

Within ten days!

Annihilate the Zhao Family!

Hearing Jiang Chen's words, everyone's eyes widened.

Arrogant!

Simply too arrogant!

Although the Zhao Family had lost so many people this time,

Their foundation was still there after all!

It was said that the Zhao Family possessed powerful Spiritual Artifacts.

Such things were not something ordinary people could withstand.

Even if you possessed the strength of the Martial Emperor Realm, you might not necessarily be able to take them down.

Yet Jiang Chen actually dared to utter such ruthless words.

That was truly a declaration of a fight to the death.

However, the current situation was already no different from a fight to the death.

Even the head of the Zhao Family had been blown apart; was there any room left for negotiation?

Presumably, only if the Domain Lord stepped in could there be any talk.

But this matter had nothing to do with them; Jiang Chen was only asking them to carry a message.

And they were naturally willing to carry such a message.

If the Zhao Family were gone, many resource-rich lands would become ownerless!

For them, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

They could even start planning for it right now.

"As you command! We will certainly deliver Senior's words exactly as they were spoken!"

"Rest assured, Senior, leave this matter to us."

Seeing how polite Jiang Chen was, some people's courage grew.

They all expressed their compliance.

"Much obliged."

Jiang Chen cupped his hands toward the crowd.

Although he could leave right now to destroy the Zhao Family,

The main issue was that the round trip would take time.

Additionally, the matter of the Demon Cave had not yet been settled, and currently, only Xue Lianyue was holding the line there.

Jiang Chen needed to handle the Demon Cave issue first.

Then he would rest for a few days.

Besides, the martial arts scroll hadn't been opened yet.

Ten days was about right.

After the crowd dispersed, Jiang Chen finally returned to Li Xiaoqing's side.

"Let's go. I won't return to the Royal City with you. I'm going to the Demon Cave; you report the situation here to Your Majesty."

Jiang Chen said.

At the same time, with a thought,

He collected all the Storage Rings scattered among the mountains.

"Oh... oh, alright..."

Li Xiaoqing had still not reacted; she was in a state of shock and numbness.

When a person experiences something that exceeds their limits and cognition, they don't scream or shout.

Instead, they appear very numb.

Even in Li Xiaoqing's mind, she was still constantly replaying the events.

Did the Zhao Family forces actually come?

If they came, why was there no commotion?

Why wasn't a single person seen?

Oh, they were just blown apart by Jiang Chen.

Then it's fine.

Li Xiaoqing finally sorted things out in her mind.

At this moment, she also realized that, somehow, she had already returned to the Royal City.

When she saw Ye Duling before her,

Li Xiaoqing was momentarily stunned.

Then, with a face full of shock, she said,

"Your... Your Majesty! Jiang Chen... he killed everyone from the Zhao Family..."
