"I never intended to let you go, Chen Family Village: Chen—Chen Bo?"
Luo Yong, who was in the middle of an emotional outburst, was taken aback.
What the hell is this name?
The guy whom Master Lu called "Old Seven Hong" said he had a powerful backer, and Master Lu mentioned "Chen Family Village" at the time.
Chenjiazhuang... The noodle shop owner's surname is Chen... This noodle shop is also a hideout for the Quanxing gang...
The noodle shop owner, Chen Bo, changed his expression drastically, and his feigned honesty vanished completely.
The moment his identity was exposed, he grabbed the soup ladle from the pot, ready to strike.
At this distance, if I were to take advantage of the situation...
The wind from the fan blew a wisp of "Xu Laosan" towards Chen Bo.
Looking at the slice of meat in front of him, which was even thinner than his own, he saw "Old Xu the Third".
Chen Bo's lips twitched.
Lu Xuan's skills are truly exceptional.
The "meat slices" were cut so thinly they were almost translucent, and even the blood was pressed inside the slices, with not a single drop of blood spilling out.
He silently threw away the soup spoon in his hand.
If I were to actually do it, I'd probably be cut into "original cut steak" the next second.
"Master Lu, I am not a member of the Quanxing Sect!"
Chen Bo raised his hands and spoke decisively.
“I did take in these Quanxing people before, but I am not a Quanxing person.”
"It was all because I misjudged people and made a mistake in my thinking that I came into contact with those evil people from Quanxing."
"It's all my fault!"
As he spoke, Chen Bo's expression even showed a hint of pity.
"Now that things have come to this, I am willing to take out some money to appease those whose families have been destroyed by the Quanxing thugs, and I will never let such a tragedy happen again."
"Master Lu helped my Chen family get rid of this scourge and killed Quanxing. He truly deserves to be called a young prodigy."
"I heard that Master Lu has some misunderstandings with the Wang family in the capital?"
“My father’s 100th birthday banquet is approaching, and I can mediate at that time.”
Chen Bo spoke with utmost sincerity and detail.
Upon hearing this, Luo Yong's expression gradually turned ugly.
He sensed something was wrong with Chen Bo, but Chen Bo's words sounded so sincere that he couldn't pinpoint what was wrong.
But he's just feeling uneasy right now.
"It's as if these aristocratic families are always glamorous and that the filth and darkness have nothing to do with them."
Chapter 157: I've already admitted my mistake, what more do you want from me?
Lu Xuan's voice rang out, making Luo Yong's eyes light up.
That's right! That's exactly the feeling.
Lu Xuan's words made Luo Yong instantly understand.
That's exactly what he meant.
Even an ordinary superhuman like him can see that Chen Family Village is colluding with Quanxing. How could Chen Bo twist the truth in just a few words?
How come the Chen family, who clearly colluded with the Quanxing, suddenly became a good person?
How can this make sense?
Upon hearing this, Chen Bo's expression grew even more unpleasant.
Is Lu Xuan really going to completely break off relations?
He had made himself perfectly clear. Was Lu Xuan genuinely unable to understand, or was he pretending not to?
Chenjiazhuang sounds like just a village, not well-known.
But in reality, they are the most prestigious family in the area, with a lineage spanning hundreds of years. Even the Wang family has to defer to the Chen family when they come here.
Chen Bo felt that he had already given Lu Xuan enough face with his words.
He has already backed down and is willing to offer some benefits to give both sides a way out, so that even Nadotong Company and the authorities can't find fault with him.
As for mediating the relationship between Lu Xuan and the Wang family? That's complete nonsense.
What he meant by saying this was to tell Lu Xuan that he had already offended the Wang family, and now he wanted to offend the Chen family village as well.
Do you dare challenge the status of a prestigious family?
So what if your cultivation level is high? Do you have absolutely no sense of shame?
The so-called "opposition between good and evil" is something created by these aristocratic families. Quanxing is a latrine that can throw anything into.
These aristocratic families joined forces to launch the Quanxing "black glove," partly to divert attention from the conflicts among the lower-level outsiders, and partly to better seize resources.
You, Lu Xuan, killed Quanxing, fine, but do you also want to kill us aristocratic families?
Do you really think the world of superhumans is just a world of ordinary superhumans?
"Lu Xuan, I advise you not to make a mistake."
Chen Bo's expression grew increasingly cold.
"You've already offended the Wang family, and you still dare to provoke my Chen family? Do you really think the company can protect you?"
“Here, the Chen family is the law.”
What is a family lineage? It is a family that has passed down its traditions through generations, with deep-rooted connections that are omnipresent.
Even the local Nadutong company doesn't dare to provoke them easily; the local Nadutong manager has to be mindful of their attitude.
You, a mere cricket, Lu Xuan, are you really going to think you're some kind of powerful figure just because I call you an immortal?
Chen Bo's face showed a mixture of disdain and anger.
I, the young master of the prestigious Chen family, have been reduced to colluding with Quanxing and hiding in order to traffic people. Why are you still making things difficult for me?
I've had enough.
If we go back a hundred years, my Chen family could kill people without breaking the law. We could just throw some money at them and people would come to us for us to choose from.
Now that the Chen family has fallen on hard times, they have to operate in the shadows to traffic people, and even hiring members of the Quanxing gang has to be done furtively, for fear of being discovered by the company.
Haven't we, the Chen family, suffered enough?
In the past, our Chen family could wear dragon robes, and you lowly commoners had to kneel before us.
Now, even if someone tries to secretly traffic people, you'll block their door?
I've already apologized and am willing to pay some compensation, so why are you still pressuring me?
"Lu Xuan, I advise you not to make a mistake..."
Chen Bo's expression changed repeatedly.
Lu Xuan had already extended his hand.
The next moment, time seemed to slow down.
Chen Bo, his face fierce, spouted absurdities, his face trembling and his flesh rolling. Luo Yong's face slowly showed anger, and even the creaking of the old fan in the air slowed down.
A gentle breeze blew by, carried by the wind from the old fan, and softly caressed Chen Bo's body.
Chen Bo continued to spout nonsense.
When he got angry, he slammed his fist on the table.
Then I realized that the flesh from my arm had fallen all over the table.
Chen Bo subconsciously raised his hand, only to find that all the flesh on his arm had been gone, leaving only white bone without even a trace of flesh.
Then, that unbearable, bone-deep pain spread throughout my body.
"Ah! Ah~ Ah!!!"
An uncontrollable, inhuman roar erupted from deep within his throat, accompanied by unimaginable pain and torment.
Chen Bo, who had always lived a life of luxury, had never experienced such suffering.
I wanted to run, but I found that as I lifted my leg, the flesh on my leg was falling off in a cascade.
He wanted to roar, but found that even his throat couldn't make a sound, because...
His throat had been stripped of flesh and blood.
Even Chen Bo could feel the fat on his face jiggling as he screamed in pain, falling into the pot like noodles.
A hoarse sound erupted from deep within his throat; it was his final, silent wail. Was it pain? Or perhaps a trace of regret?
Lingchi—also known as "death by a thousand cuts"—was used in ancient times to punish serious crimes such as "heinous crimes" and "immorality."
One of these crimes is: killing three members of a family who are not sentenced to death, as well as dismembering people, harvesting animals, and mutilating people.
Hong Laoqi and his gang were the tools, but Chen Bo, as the behind-the-scenes employer, was the real culprit.
Lu Xuan thoughtfully chose this way of dying for Chen Bo.
There's no point in reasoning with this kind of guy, and Lu Xuan had no intention of making him regret it; such trash's regret is utterly worthless.
Chen Bo's death will make the entire world of supernatural beings understand that what they want to kill is not only the Quanxing, but also all the demons in the world!
In Chen Bo's perception, time passed very slowly. He could clearly feel the pain of every inch of flesh being cut off, and the torment that penetrated to the bone marrow every moment.
After a long period of time, Chen Bo was reduced to a skeleton.
From Luo Yong's perspective, however, everything happened very quickly—
In the blink of an eye, Chen Bo was stripped of all his flesh and blood, his white skeleton scattering across the ground.
But Luo Yong showed no fear whatsoever.
