Chapter 222: Returning to the Village

This scene left everyone dumbfounded.

The Zhang family head, a dignified True Immortal, surprisingly found himself helpless in front of this young man!

Especially Chen Ahud, who was utterly shaken!

After all, figures like Immortal Eight and Immortal Nine among his acquaintances were already considered top-notch experts!

As for a True Immortal? To him, that was an unparalleled being.

“Ansheng, my dear brother, I don’t know what kind of opportunity you’ve obtained to be able to contend with a True Immortal!”

Chen Ahud’s mind was blank as he whispered to himself.

“Celestial being, let’s talk things over!”

The Zhang family head, having lost an arm, finally dared not act recklessly and quickly fell to his knees to beg for mercy.

Chen Ansheng merely snorted coldly, not explaining anything. Whether this man would live or die depended on his performance.

Seeing that Chen Ansheng’s killing intent had not dissipated, the Zhang family head quickly said, “A bunch of foolish pigs, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and bring out all the purple crystals from the vault to compensate this esteemed lord.”

“Yes, family head!”

Everyone sprang into action and soon brought all the stock from the mine.

A total of over seven hundred pounds of purple crystals!

“Tiger Brother, take this.”

Chen Ansheng instructed.

“Ansheng, my dear brother, this is too much. I can’t accept it.”

Chen Ahud had never seen such a quantity of purple crystals and was trembling all over.

“Stop being so wishy-washy, just take it all, and bring it back to the village to share with everyone,” Chen Ansheng said.

Only then did Chen Ahud shiver his way over to collect the purple crystals.

Afterward, with a simple grab, Chen Ansheng imprisoned the Zhang family head with a spell. “If you dare to defy, I’ll have a master from the Red Moon Sect come and take revenge on you.”

The Zhang family head was terrified, trembling in fear as he quickly said, “I wouldn’t dare, wouldn’t dare at all.”

“Very good,” Chen Ansheng replied coldly, “Now, execute those who framed my brother on the spot, or I’ll have your entire family buried with you!”

“All elders, heed my command! Quickly carry out the orders of the esteemed celestial being. Anyone who wronged that lord will be executed on the spot, with no leniency!”

With this order given, several elders from the Zhang family immediately began their investigation.

The managers of the entire mine were filled with dread, trembling in fear.

“Third Uncle, spare my life, I know my mistake. Please don’t kill me!”

“Pfft!”

As soon as the words were out, an elder drew his sword and executed the three individuals who had been investigated on the spot.

There was no choice; having stirred up such a massive disaster, if they didn’t make sacrifices, the family would be utterly finished.

Let alone the elder’s nephew, even the family head’s own son would have to die today!

“Good that you’re perceptive. Tiger Brother, let’s go.”

Once the matter was settled, Chen Ansheng called out and left with Chen Ahud.

After they departed, the remaining elders of the Zhang family arrived.

“Family head, I’ll go notify the Red Moon Sect and seek revenge on that guy!” one elder volunteered.

“Slap!”

The Zhang family head slapped him hard across the face.

“Fool, do you want to bury the family and the Red Moon Sect together? From today onward, strict enforcement will be observed in the mine. If there are any further acts of framing, all elders guarding the mine will be executed!”

Seeing the family head trembling with fear, everyone understood that this time they had truly hit a solid wall.

…

On the road.

“Ansheng, my dear brother, thank you. Without you, I would never have been able to retaliate for this grievance in my lifetime.”

“It’s a small matter, no need for thanks,” Chen Ansheng replied casually, then asked, “By the way, how is the village? My grandmother is doing well, right?”

Chen Ahud hesitated for a moment, wanting to say something but ultimately swallowed his words.

“Is something wrong?”

Instantly, Chen Ansheng’s expression grew serious, the chilling aura causing Chen Ahud to shiver.

“Actually, it’s nothing much.” Chen Ahud, drenched in cold sweat, said, “In the first few years after I left the village, a group of demon bandits came down from the eastern mountain and frequently descended upon our village to steal our livestock. Other than that, there isn’t anything serious. Also, my grandmother hasn’t been well; she’s been bedridden for over a year. The younger generation in the village has been taking turns looking after her.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Ansheng’s calm façade instantly crumbled.

In the past, when he sent messages back home with fairy crystals, his grandmother always said she was doing fine and not to worry, urging him to work hard outside and strive to get married early.

“Alas.”

Chen Ansheng felt a pang of sadness.

He genuinely couldn’t return before; the round trip would consume several years of wages, and he didn’t dare go back.

“Ansheng, are you returning home this time?”

“Yes! Right now! Let’s go!”

Saying this, Chen Ansheng took hold of Chen Ahud and soared into the air, heading straight for the nearby lower-level teleportation array.

…

Several hours later, Chen Family Village.

“Still the same as before.”

Gazing at the clear little river at the eastern end of the village, a long-lost sense of familiarity flooded into Chen Ansheng’s heart.

“Ansheng, hurry and look! That group of demon bandits has come again!”

Over there, several bull-headed demons were urging the villagers to hand over their livestock.

Chen Ansheng’s expression darkened, and with a flash, he flew over.

“Beasts! What are you doing?”

Chen Ansheng shouted coldly, and the bull-headed demons all turned to look at him.

“You little brat, what are you shouting about!”

One bull-headed demon wielding a stone axe was about to strike Chen Ansheng.

The villagers lining up to hand over their livestock all turned to glance at Chen Ansheng.

“Oh my, isn’t that Ansheng?”

“It’s Ansheng back home!”

“Kid, stop talking nonsense.”

Immediately, an old man stepped in front of Chen Ansheng, bowing and scraping to the bull-headed demon and saying, “My lord, this kid has been working away from home for many years and doesn’t understand the rules. I hope my lord won’t hold it against him.”

The bull-headed demon, used to being arrogant and overbearing, wouldn’t let it slide: “Daring to insult your Grandpa Bull, you deserve death, which cannot be pardoned. Old man, get out of the way quickly, or I’ll kill you too!”

“Who do you want to kill!”

In that moment, all of Chen Ansheng’s anger seemed to dissipate.

What was the point of getting angry with a dead cow?

“You’ve gone too far! You dare to provoke Grandpa Bull? If you ignite my anger, I’ll wipe your village clean!”

“Beast, you’re seeking death!”

Chen Ansheng slapped out.

Boom!

The enormous bull demon was shattered instantly, flesh and bones splattering, guts and entrails flying everywhere.

“You, you!”

Another bull demon, upon seeing this, stepped back in fear repeatedly.

“Just you wait! My king will definitely not spare you!”

Saying this, the bull demon transformed back to its original form and fled madly toward the village exit.

Chen Ansheng did not stop him; it was just right to send him back to report the news, so he could take them all down later.

The villagers around were shocked silly by Chen Ansheng’s act, taking a while to regain their senses.

“Ansheng, why are you so impulsive? That Bull Demon Great Sage has boundless power; this time you’ve really stirred up a big trouble.”

“Alas. Things have come to this; quickly gather everyone in the village and prepare to fight the Bull Demon to the death!”

“You foolish child.”

The villagers were all anxious like ants on a hot pan.
