168: You're the one.

"Young Master Chen, please do not be angry." Lin Tang quickly placated him, "The Du Family only destroyed one statue. I have already sent people to guard the other statues."

"Withdraw the people."

Chen Qingxuan said directly.

Lin Tang thought she misheard, "But..."

"No need to send people to guard. I will pay a visit to the Du Family myself."

"Young Master Chen..."

Lin Tang was about to dissuade him;

But before she finished speaking, she saw Chen Qingxuan fly out of the Lin Family residence and could only hurry to chase after him.

On the other side.

Inside the main hall of the Du Family.

Du Bu said smugly, "Reporting to the Family Head, after we destroyed one statue, the Lin Family immediately sent people to guard the others. It seems they are heartbroken."

"Haha, Elder Du Bu's method is excellent!"

"I didn't expect one statue could provoke such a strong reaction from the Lin Family. There must be some unknown motive behind it."

"Now, we only need to wait and see, and we have already gained the upper hand."

The Elders smiled broadly, congratulating each other.

Du Futian stroked his silver beard and looked at Du Bu with satisfaction, "In the future, all of you must learn more from Du Bu. Not everything requires risking your lives. When you encounter an enemy you can't deal with, do not panic or be anxious... instead, learn from Du Bu how to start with easily overlooked details to achieve the effect of overcoming the great with the small."

"Yes, the Family Head's teaching is correct."

The Elders all cupped their hands and cast looks of admiration and envy toward Du Bu.

In contrast, Du Bu was smiling so much his mouth couldn't close, feigning modesty, "The Family Head praises me too much. I only achieved this value today under your wise leadership."

"Haha!"

Du Futian laughed heartily upon hearing this.

Bang—

But just then, a loud explosion suddenly rang out;

Du Futian was startled, "Quick, go see what happened."

"I'll go right away."

Du Bu was about to take the lead;

But before he could turn to leave, an Elder rushed in to report, "Family Head, Family Head, something terrible has happened! The young man who helped the Lin Family reclaim the star vein has killed his way over."

Whoosh—

Upon hearing this, Du Futian and the others were all stunned.

Killed his way to the Du Family?

Was there a mistake?

"Go out and see."

Du Futian's expression darkened, and he quickly led the pillars of the Du Family out of the main hall;

When they arrived at the Du Family courtyard, they happened to see Chen Qingxuan surrounded by a group of Du Family experts, yet walking through as if no one was there.

"It's him!"

Seeing Chen Qingxuan again, Du Bu immediately confirmed to Du Futian, "Family Head, this is the brat who helped the Lin Family seize the star vein and killed nearly ten of our Du Family members."

...

Du Futian narrowed his old eyes, sizing up Chen Qingxuan;

He intended to see through Chen Qingxuan's Realm and aura, but after observing for a while... he couldn't sense at all what level of Cultivator the other party was.

So strange?

As the Family Head of the Du Family, although Du Futian was cautious, he was not a coward scared by trifles. "Young man, I am the Family Head of the Du Family. You trespassed into my Du Family without reason tonight and even injured my clansmen. If you cannot give me a reasonable explanation... regardless of your background, this is against the rules, isn't it?"

Du Family Head?

Chen Qingxuan looked at the old man whose hair and beard were all white, without any nonsense, "You talk about rules? Fine. Hand over the person who destroyed the statue tonight."

Statue?

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the Du Family experts changed;

At this moment, they seemed to finally understand the purpose of Chen Qingxuan's visit—it was because of the destroyed statue?

Could it be that the statue... was related to him?

Not the Lin Family!

Instantly, many people felt a chill in their hearts, sensing that things were not good.

And Du Bu, the mastermind of this matter, nervously stepped forward, "What statue? We don't know anything... Are you mistaken?"

Chen Qingxuan sneered, "You talk about rules first, and I'll talk rules with you. Now that I'm talking rules, you want to stop being reasonable?"

"Young man, don't get agitated."

Du Futian spoke while forcing himself to remain calm.

Feeling the arrogance in Chen Qingxuan's tone, he also felt uneasy.

It was because they targeted the Lin Family when they destroyed the statue, but they never expected that the one provoked was not the Lin Family, but Chen Qingxuan.

It must be known that the reason the Du Family did not dare to forcibly seize the star vein again was not because they feared the Lin Family;

But because of Chen Qingxuan!

Until now, they hadn't clearly investigated the other party's identity. Even Du Futian, the Family Head, dared not act rashly. Moreover, Chen Qingxuan had actually killed his way over tonight... Who facing such a situation would believe that a youth with no background would dare to act this way?

He must have backing!

So, in the next moment, Du Futian chose to avoid the sharp edge first, "We are indeed unclear about this matter. However, we can start investigating for you. As for injuring my Du Family clansmen tonight, considering it was caused by a misunderstanding... we do not intend to pursue it."

Before Chen Qingxuan could speak;

At this moment, the guilty Du Bu hurriedly said, "Did you hear that? Our Family Head is generous and doesn't intend to pursue it, and he even promised to help you investigate the truth... You should go back and wait!"

"Haha."

Chen Qingxuan did not leave, but instead burst into laughter.

At this time, Lin Tang and the others also rushed over in a flurry.

But before they could speak, they saw Chen Qingxuan, who was supposed to be surrounded, acting as if one person was surrounding the entire Du Family, saying, "Since you all like to play dumb, I will give you a chance to investigate. But before the mastermind is found... I will kill one Du Family member every day."

"Tonight, who will die first?"

As he spoke, Chen Qingxuan's icy gaze swept over the Du Family members.

Whoosh—

A collective gasp of cold air immediately followed.

If they hadn't heard it with their own ears, who would have believed that someone would dare to storm the Du Family and issue such a threat?

Let alone the Du Family members finding it unbelievable, even the Lin Family experts who arrived later felt it was as unreal as a dream.

But Chen Qingxuan's cold expression, as he swept his gaze over the Du Family members, did not look like he was joking at all, sending chills down many spines.

At this moment, Du Bu was even more furious, "Insolent! Our Du Family has already been so merciful to you, and you still dare to threaten to kill my Du Family members..."

"It's you."

Chen Qingxuan narrowed his eyes slightly, locking onto that familiar figure.

Before Du Bu could finish speaking, he felt a gust of wind erupt behind him, and a powerful force instantly sent him flying forward completely unprepared.

This scene caught everyone off guard.

Only Du Futian reacted, but it was too late to grab Du Bu, "Wait..."

Bang!

Unfortunately, he was still a step too late.

As soon as his voice sounded, Du Bu was forcefully flown in front of Chen Qingxuan and had his throat seized by one hand.

"What?"

Even at this moment, Du Bu hadn't reacted.

By the time he realized he had been captured alive, he felt an unbearable grip on his neck, and the other approaching large hand was reflected in his pupils.

Under everyone's gaze, Chen Qingxuan said nothing and tore off Du Bu's head with his bare hands, issuing an unquestionable command,

"I will return tomorrow at noon... Remember to choose who will die!"
