**Chapter 301: The Emperor’s Mercy**
Chen Ansheng ignored the Zhou Family Great Sage.
“Open.”
A single word lightly escaped his lips, and the ground below erupted with a tremendous crack.
A transparent barrier appeared.
Inside the barrier, the members of the Chen family were filled with despair and anger.
In the end, they were still discovered by their enemy clan!
This tribulation was unavoidable after all.
“Yuling, we old folks will fight to the death, hoping to pave a path for you!”
“Fellow clansmen, burn your divine blood with me to protect the clan head!”
“Understood!”
Over a hundred elite members of the Chen family, resolutely embracing death, aimed to ensure Chen Yuling’s survival.
“Clan Elder, wait!”
Chen Yuling immediately flew up, stopping everyone from using their blood.
She then looked up, gazing at the sky.
In her bright eyes, the unparalleled figure of an immortal was reflected.
“My brother is here!”
A faint, tragic smile appeared on Chen Yuling’s lips; he really did come to save her.
Had he changed?
She still remembered when she was caught by the spider demon in the Spirit Realm, he ran away without a moment’s hesitation.
Of course, Chen Yuling never thought there was anything wrong with that.
It was foolish to stay behind and die when one could not win.
But now, how could he come charging in, knowing the enemy of their family might be the Xuan Emperor?
Looking at the blood rain pouring from the sky, she knew that Ansheng’s strength had surely increased significantly from before.
But so what? How could he possibly contend with the Emperor Realm?
Sigh.
“Everyone, follow me to fight our way out!”
Chen Yuling sighed and decided not to think more. Since Ansheng had clearly opened a massacre, they would first join forces to eliminate the Zhou Family Great Sage stationed here.
“Okay! Kill! Let’s kill!”
Swish, swish, swish…
The barrier shattered, and Chen Yuling led the remaining hundred clansmen to charge upwards.
Kill!
A group of people, unafraid of death, fiercely rushed towards the Zhou Family Great Sage.
Something’s off.
It smells terrible!
“This old bastard, did he wet himself?”
Before the Chen family members could make a move, they were left frozen in mid-air.
“Gulp.”
The Zhou Family Great Sage’s expression was dazed, swallowing hard as his knees buckled and he knelt in mid-air.
“Excuse me, Imperial Lord, I am Tianfeng the Great Sage under the Zhou Emperor. I do not know where I have offended…”
Before he could finish speaking, Chen Ansheng flicked his finger, and a strand of terrifying immortal energy shot from his shoulder, directly piercing a bloody hole through him.
“Don’t make a fuss; it does not matter what name you call yourself.”
Chen Ansheng’s indifferent words made the Zhou Family Great Sage’s soul tighten.
“What?”
Chen Yuling and the others were stunned.
He casually pointed and pierced through the Great Sage’s body?
Could it be that Ansheng had entered the Emperor Realm!
The terrifying aura just now was indeed no less than that of the Emperor Realm!
“How is it? Are you still worried that my strength is insufficient?”
Chen Ansheng looked at Chen Yuling and grinned.
Chen Yuling was frozen and murmured in verification: “Ansheng, you… you really did enter the Emperor Realm, right?”
Chen Ansheng casually replied with two words: “Not just.”
What!
Everyone present was filled with shock.
The striking young man before them surpassed the Emperor Realm?
Could it be that he was the Xuan Emperor!
For ordinary cultivators, even for ancient saint clans or ancient emperor clans, the Xuan Emperor was an existence that one could not aspire to reach.
After all, even if you lived for a hundred thousand or a million years, it would be difficult to witness the presence of a supreme or heavenly emperor.
“Chen Family Elder, lead the clan and pay respects to the Emperor.”
The Chen family members, led by the clan elder, quickly half-knelt in salute.
“I refer to your clan’s head as my sister; there is no need for excessive formalities, please get up.”
Chen Ansheng waved his hand, and numerous Saint realm cultivators stood up uncontrollably.
At that moment, they were overcome with emotion, with tears in their eyes.
Chen Yuling had actually become the sworn sister of a peak expert suspected to be the Xuan Emperor!
Now, the Chen family was saved!
It seemed the old ancestor’s decision to choose Chen Yuling as the heir was indeed the right choice; the cycle of heaven’s path was now manifesting.
The Chen family was ecstatic.
The Zhou Family Great Sage, however, was nearly paralyzed with fear.
In his heart, he wailed, “Why didn’t you say earlier that the Chen family had an Emperor backing? This is the end now.”
“Now, tell me what happened. Who’s behind all this?”
Chen Ansheng looked at everyone.
Before Chen Yuling could speak, the Chen Family Elder hurriedly knelt and said, “Report to the Emperor, hundreds of years ago, a Spirit Realm emerged, and many families went to contend for it…”
The Chen Family Elder thoroughly conveyed the events to Chen Ansheng.
It turned out that the Chen family’s calamity stemmed from the seeds of disaster sown during the contest for the Spirit Realm.
On the day the Spirit Realm was taken by Chen Ansheng, the Zhou Family’s experts of the Emperor Realm ended up with nothing, while Chen Yuling and Lu Lingxi had come to protect Chen Ansheng, earning the resentment of the Zhou family and several other clans.
The Lu Family was said to have an ancestor at the Emperor Realm, so the Zhou family didn’t dare to act recklessly, and the disaster naturally fell onto the Chen family.
On that day, the Zhou Family’s Emperor personally intervened, shattering the ancient protective formation of the Chen family and slaughtering countless Chen family members.
Chen Yuling had merely inherited the strength of the Great Sage and was far from being able to contend with the Emperor Realm; thus, she led the remaining clansmen to hide in their ancestral barrier, hiding there for hundreds of years.
“Imperial Lord, if there is any misunderstanding, I could call upon my Zhou Emperor to discuss it with you, if that would be acceptable?”
The Zhou Family Great Sage finally regained his composure and trembled as he spoke.
“Fine, let him come quickly. If he doesn’t arrive in less than a hundred breaths, I will annihilate your entire clan.”
Buzz!
The Zhou Family Great Sage felt as if his soul was about to explode from the murderous intent directed at him.
He hurriedly used a secret jade to contact the Zhou family’s Emperor Realm expert.
“Imperial Lord, please remain calm. My Zhou Emperor will be here shortly. I am merely following orders, please…”
“Not a chance.”
Before the other party could finish pleading, Chen Ansheng pressed down with his palm.
Boom!
The heavens trembled, and the Zhou Family Great Sage didn’t even have time to scream before he was turned into a mist of blood.
This is the might of the Emperor!
With one thought, all beings perish!
To be honest, at this moment, Chen Ansheng felt immensely satisfied; the sensation of having life and death in his grasp was perhaps far more thrilling than being the Peak Immortal King in the Immortal Realm.
Perhaps this was how the Immortal Emperors felt in the Immortal Realm?
“Girl, how is my strength?”
Chen Ansheng smiled at Chen Yuling.
Chen Yuling snapped back from her shock and exclaimed excitedly, “I was shallow-minded; brother, you are invincible, forever invincible!”
“Hahaha.”
Chen Ansheng laughed heartily and turned to gaze at the heavens, fully displaying the demeanor of a master.
Before long, the clouds and fire-red light on the horizon pierced through the deep sky.
A figure walked in the light, covering a thousand miles in a single breath.
“May I ask which Emperor is in conflict with my family’s servants? Zhou certain has come to meet you.”
The Zhou Family Emperor, sensing that the guarding clan members had all been annihilated, was naturally filled with endless rage.
However, before he clarified the opponent’s strength, he temporarily suppressed it.
“Come to your mother! Get over here and kneel!”
Boom!
Chen Ansheng shouted angrily, activating the Law Palace, and with a single claw, he solidified a law imprint that seized the Zhou Family Emperor tightly.
