80: Chapter 80 Chen Family's Provocation, First Clash

The popularity of Gus Pill Shop had completely overturned the Medicinal Pill market landscape in Baifeng City that had existed for hundreds of years, with an unstoppable momentum.

The news of this storm naturally reached the other end of the tempest at the very first moment — the Chen Family.

Inside a luxurious courtyard of the Chen Family mansion.

"Trash! You are all trash!"

A young man dressed in gold-threaded finery, his handsome face marred by a hint of sinister air, was furiously smashing the precious porcelain in his hands onto the ground, one by one!

Crackle! The crisp sound of shattering was endless.

In front of him knelt a row of trembling servants—the very shopkeeper and attendants who had retreated in defeat from Wanbao Tower.

"A mere outsider, a country bumpkin! You opened a lousy Medicinal Pill shop! And you were scared into this state by them?!"

The young man kicked the shopkeeper in the chest, sending him flying backward as he spat out blood.

"My Chen Family has been running the Medicinal Pill business in Baifeng City for hundreds of years! Since when is it the turn of some unknown stray cat or dog to come and snatch our rice bowl?!"

This person was none other than the most favored Young Lord of the Chen Family, the very same ruthless individual rumored to not hesitate in exterminating an entire Family just to seize treasures...

Chen Xuanfeng!

A Genius who was only twenty-five years old and already possessed Level 8 Qi Refining cultivation!

"Young... Young Lord, please calm down!" a middle-aged man who looked like a steward advised, trembling with fear. "The Gu Family... has a significant background! Not only does the Tianyi Chamber of Commerce support them, but the quality of their Medicinal Pill is truly... unbelievable! We..."

"Quality?" Chen Xuanfeng's face twisted in extreme disdain. "In this Baifeng City, strength is the only thing that matters! Quality is worth nothing!"

"He is cutting off my Chen Family's financial path, which is equivalent to digging up my Chen Family's ancestral graves!"

"If I endure this, what face will I have to stand in this Baifeng City in the future?!"

The more he spoke, the angrier he became. He shoved aside all the servants in front of him, his eyes flashing with a violent and ruthless light!

"Prepare the carriage!"

"I want to see for myself what kind of holy person this so-called 'Great Master Gu' is! How many heads does he have to dare to break ground on my Chen Family's territory!"

Without even informing the elders of his Family, he took it upon himself to lead a team of the most elite guards from the mansion, heading straight for Gus Pill Shop in the market with a menacing Aura!

...

Inside Gus Pill Shop, it was still overcrowded.

Suddenly, a huge uproar and commotion erupted from outside the shop!

Immediately after, over a dozen Chen Family guards in uniform black armor and exuding fierce Auras appeared. Like a pack of ferocious, evil tigers, they rudely pushed aside all the Cultivators who were queuing and stormed directly into the shop!

Leading them was Chen Xuanfeng, his face so gloomy it could drip water!

"From now on, this place is closed!"

Chen Xuanfeng surveyed the customers in the shop who were retreating in fear, and announced in an incredibly arrogant, unquestionable tone.

"Those who don't want to die, get out now!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the shop was in an uproar.

"It's... it's Young Master Xuanfeng of the Chen Family!"

"Heavens! Why is he here?!"

"Looking at this posture... he's here to find trouble!"

Although the customers were unwilling, facing this notorious 'Living Yama' of the Chen Family, no one dared to object. They scattered like birds and beasts, fleeing the shop in terror.

"Who are you?! How dare you cause trouble in a shop that cooperates with my Tianyi Chamber of Commerce?!"

Jin Feiyan, who had been discussing follow-up matters with Gu Yan on the second floor, rushed over upon hearing the news. Seeing the mess before her and Chen Xuanfeng leading the group, her pretty face instantly turned frosty.

"Yo, I wonder who it is. So it's little sister Feiyan." Seeing Jin Feiyan, Chen Xuanfeng squeezed a wicked smile onto his gloomy face. "Haven't seen you for a few years, little sister Feiyan; you've become even more supple."

As he spoke, his malicious eyes unscrupulously scanned Jin Feiyan's exquisite curves.

"Chen Xuanfeng! Be respectful!" Disgust flashed in Jin Feiyan's eyes. "This place is the shop of Young Master Gu, a distinguished guest of my Tianyi Chamber of Commerce! I advise you, it is best not to run wild here!"

"Distinguished guest?" Chen Xuanfeng seemed to have heard a huge joke. "Just him? A country bumpkin who crawled out of some poor village, and he deserves to be a distinguished guest of your Tianyi Chamber of Commerce?"

"Jin Feiyan, I advise you, it is best not to meddle in other people's business!" His face became ferocious again. "Today, this is a personal grudge between him and me! If your Tianyi Chamber of Commerce wants to intervene, it is equivalent to... formally declaring war on my Chen Family!"

"You!" Jin Feiyan was so angry that her pretty face turned flushed.

Just as the situation was about to spiral completely out of control,

a calm voice drifted slowly from the staircase on the second floor.

"You are... that trash from the Chen Family who likes to exterminate an entire Family for a blade of grass?"

Gu Yan's figure walked slowly down the stairs.

There was not a hint of anger on his face, only a kind of... pure... indifference, as if he were looking at garbage.

Chen Xuanfeng's pupils shrank violently!

He stared fixedly at this man who dared to curse him as 'trash' in public!

"You are the so-called 'Great Master Gu'?" He swept his Divine Sense over Gu Yan, and when he discovered that the other party was only at the Great Perfection of Level 9 Qi Refining, his vigilance instantly turned into endless contempt!

A mere Qi Refining Great Perfection!

Dared to be so rampant in front of him, a 'Senior' at Level 8 Qi Refining?!

"Very good! You have guts!" Chen Xuanfeng laughed out of extreme anger. "This Young Master is in a good mood today! I won't kill you!"

"Now, kneel down and kowtow to me three times! Then, obediently hand over your Alchemy formula!"

"This Young Master might consider taking you in as a... dog that does Alchemy for my Chen Family!"

His words were arrogant to the extreme, and also vicious to the extreme.

However, Gu Yan still did not speak.

He just walked down the stairs, step by step.

Then, he stood quietly in front of Chen Xuanfeng.

The next moment!

A terrifying Aura, so huge it was indescribable and felt almost tangible, erupted from his seemingly ordinary body!

Great Perfection of Level 9 Qi Refining!

Without any reservation!

This Aura was not as flimsy as Town Mayors Son, nor as violent as Chief.

It was heavy, dense, like an invisible mountain descending from the sky!

Boom!

Inside the entire Gus Pill Shop, all the tables and counters groaned under this terrifying pressure, unable to bear the load!

The Chen Family guards following behind Chen Xuanfeng, who had been grinning savagely, didn't even have a chance to react before their legs went soft in unison. With a 'thud,' they all knelt on the ground!

Each of them was pale, foaming at the mouth, as if all the bones had been sucked out of their bodies!

And Chen Xuanfeng, who was at the very center of the pressure, was struck as if by lightning!

He felt that in an instant, he had changed from a high-and-mighty hunter into a trembling ant being stared at by a prehistoric Vicious Beast!

Cold sweat instantly covered his forehead!

His legs trembled violently and uncontrollably!

He wanted to retreat, but found that his feet were as heavy as if they had been filled with lead, and he could not move at all!

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but found that his throat seemed to be tightly strangled by an invisible giant hand!

He couldn't even make the simplest syllable!

He could only watch helplessly as the man with a calm expression slowly raised his hand...
