Chapter 452: Shocking The Jiang Nan Province

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

When dawn finally broke, ushering ordinary people to the bustle about their life, news of what had happened during the night finally reached the elite circle and took it by storm.

The news only reached the ears of the most prominent family lords, however, by then, nearly everyone in the elite circle were talking about it.

Lords of sixteen families were dead; it would be impossible to cover up such startling news. Therefore the information spread like wildfire across the entire Jiang Nan Province.

By now, even the slowest person would have known that something big had happened, and it was going to change everything

“Chen Beixuan is back!”

“Hehe, who would have thought that the Chen family could turn the situation around in the end.”

Old man Qiao slurped down a gulp of congee and shook his head. “Chen Beixuan really lived up to his reputation as the devil’s incarnate. He killed so many people in just one night, I wonder how the people of Jiang Bei will take the news.”

The family lord of Qiao Family of Jin City was in his seventies, but he was still healthy and strong.

“Dad, are you sure Chen Fan is back?”

Qiao Luoyin asked curiously. There was a hint of excitement in her voice.

“General Li told me about personally. So, yes, I am sure. Plus, who else other than Chen Beixuan can make such a dramatic comeback? He had tracked over a thousand kilometer in one night and killed hundreds. I have heard rumors that he is powerful enough to defeat an entire army. I think those rumors have some truth in them. ”

Old Man Qiao exclaimed.

Chen Fan’s ability to dictate life and death had stunned even a seasoned tyc.o.o.n such as Old Man Qiao. The Song Family was the most unwise to crush the Chen family so heavy-handedly before they could even confirm Chen Fan’s death. They brought their downfall onto themselves.

“Who is Chen Beixuan?”

Qiao Luoyin’s bimbo friend asked. She was wearing a poncho and a pair of pencil jeans, adding on her beige-colored sungla.s.ses, she looked just like a rich glamorous housewife who carried herself in the most decorous manner.

“Qiuyun, you should be careful about speaking this man’s name directly.” Old Man Qiao said with a smile. “Why don’t you let Yinluo fill you in? He is a real character.”

“Humph, whatevs. He is probably just a loser anyways. I know this kind of man. He thinks he can solve every problem by pounding as hard as he can. Does he even know that law exists? What a tool.”

Pei Qiuyun snorted.

The Pei family was barely noteworthy in Yan Jin, but in the second and third-tier cities, she might as well be a celebrity. On the other hand, Pei Qiuyun’s husband was from a much more prominent family in Yan Jin.

Her upbringing and her husband’s influence had made Pei Qiuyun prouder and made her very judgemental.

“Hehe, Chen Beixuan is not your average Martial artist. Even the most influential Young Lords in Yan Jin city, such as w.a.n.g Chen, Li Mufan, Xiao Tianchen had to keep their heads down and their tails between their legs when they saw him.”

Qiao Luoyin answered readily, sipping on a cup of green tea.

“Yea, right.”

Pei Qiuyun didn’t believe any of it. “I have met many martial artists and spellcasters in Yan Jin, but they all serve the great families merely as bodyguards. What kind of bodyguard material could have compared with those elite heirs?”

w.a.n.g Chen, Li Mufan and Xiao Tianchen were among the richest of the rich in Yan Jin City.

Even Pei Qiuyun’s husband paled in comparison with those blue blooded princelings.

“Well, then let me share a story with you. A year ago, the Second Lord Han, Han Hongkun had messed with Chen Beixuan, and guess what happened to him?”

Qiao Luoyin changed the topic and asked.

“Han Hongkun? I have heard he was grounded by his family because he had offended someone important…” Pei Qiuyun recalled as she furrowed her brows. Suddenly, realization dawned upon her like a crack of lightning.

“Was that because of Chen Beixuan?”

“If not because Han Juntu apologized in time, Han Hongkun should have already been dead. Song Family was also kicked out of Jin City on the same day. Half a year ago, the rumor about Chen Beixuan’s death started to spread and Han Hongkun was finally allowed out of his house and so Song Family moved back to Jin City.”

Qiao Luoyin said lightly.

“That’s… impossible! We are talking about Han Juntu, the Han Family!”

Pei Qiuyun’s face paled as she shook her head in denial. If Chen Beixuan could force Han Juntu to his knees then he was —as Qiao Luoyin suggested— as powerful as those princelings if not more so.

“Chen Beixuan is not an ordinary Martial Artist. He ranked number one on the Heaven roll, higher than even Ye Nantian.”

Qiao Luoyin put in.

“Ye Nantian!”

Pei Qiuyun grew silent as she turned her thoughts inward.

Like everyone else, she knew who Ye Nantian was and what it meant to be more powerful than him. Ye Nantian’s personal strength aside, his family, the Ye family of Mount Yan was even more influential than those who dominated the Yan Jin city such as the w.a.n.g or the Xiao family.

“But… Can he really get away with killing so many people? Isn’t he afraid of the Special Case Department?”

Pei Qiuyun asked in confusion.

She found it hard to accept that any individual could have risen up against a legion of family clans.

Worse, Chen Fan had opening flaunted law and order, making himself a public enemy.
