Chapter 88: Leaving Without a Trace (23)

At this moment, there were many residents standing on both sides of the alley outside the house.

After witnessing the scene of Chen An and his family being taken away by the Law Enforcement Court, all the residents began whispering to each other.

Some had calm expressions.

Some took pleasure in others' misfortune.

But most of them had furrowed brows and worried expressions.

As neighbors, they were all aware of Chen An's character.

Three labels: cautious, prudent, conservative.

Therefore, it was impossible for Chen An to take the risk of refining and selling poisonous pills; it was not in line with his character.

On the other hand, the Law Enforcement Court of the Bamboo Leaf Gang was unreasonable, and as residents of the Bamboo Leaf Forest, they were well aware of it.

Many times, when the Law Enforcement Court accused someone of being guilty, they were indeed guilty.

There was no need for evidence; they could directly convict someone.

All the residents were worried that if today it was Chen An's misfortune, would it be their turn tomorrow?

After all, it was a special period, and anything outrageous could happen.

Chen An ignored the gazes of the residents on both sides of the alley and kept his attention on the Bamboo Leaf Gang cultivators around him. He sensed the faint spiritual pressure emanating from them and estimated their cultivation levels.

Except for the elder Zhao, who was at the Foundation Building First Level, the remaining few had a cultivation level of Qi Refining Ninth Level.

Their overall strength was formidable enough to sweep through the entire Green Willow Lane.

However, that was in the past.

Now, Chen An had absolute confidence that he could deal with Elder Zhao and the others alone.

He had already prepared for the worst in his heart.

Once Elder Zhao did something out of line to him and his wife and daughter, he would decisively counterattack and leave no one alive.

Soon, led by Elder Zhao, the group walked out of Green Willow Lane.

They gradually entered a deserted small forest from the originally wide road.

Seeing this, Chen An became even more convinced of his speculation. Elder Zhao of the Bamboo Leaf Gang was most likely going to harm him.

Therefore, he heightened his senses throughout the journey, and his Goldfinger was ready to strike, prepared to take action.

"Husband..."

Seeing Elder Zhao leading them further into a secluded area, Song Huaying felt extremely uneasy. She tightly held onto Chen An's clothes, her palms slightly sweaty from nervousness.

Wen Zhiyun and Gu Xinyue beside them also felt the same uneasiness in their hearts.

They were not foolish and had already realized how dangerous their situation was.

Seeing that they had walked far enough into the secluded area, Chen An stopped and no longer moved forward. He calmly said, "Elder Zhao, I remember that the road to the Law Enforcement Court is not this way. How did we end up in this forest?"

His wives knew that their husband was about to confront them.

They instinctively hid behind him.

Hearing this, Elder Zhao and his subordinates stopped.

Among them, Elder Zhao turned around and looked at Chen An. He no longer pretended and directly confronted him with a cold smile.

"Master Chen Dan, oh Master Chen Dan, I really didn't expect that someone with only a cultivation level of Qi Refining Fourth Level like you would dare to approach the leader's fiancée."

"Just because you're a second-tier alchemist?"

"Having three wives at home is not enough; you even have to go out and seduce women, and you've even seduced the leader's fiancée. You're truly seeking death!"

As he spoke, Elder Zhao looked eagerly at Wen Zhiyun, who was pregnant, his eyes filled with an urgent smile as he asked, "Fellow Daoist Wen, do you want to save your husband?"

Wen Zhiyun remained silent.

Elder Zhao continued, "Please me. Kneel down in front of me and please me, and I might consider sparing your husband."

Wen Zhiyun remained silent, believing that Chen An could protect her.

Elder Zhao laughed and then looked at Chen An with a mocking expression, saying, "Master Chen, don't you want to advise your concubine with the surname Wen?"

While Chen An gathered his spiritual power in his fingers, he remained expressionless and said, "Elder Zhao, what if I don't advise her?"

"What if you don't?"

Elder Zhao smiled and said, "Actually, nothing much will happen. At most, I will kill you, forcefully take your wives and concubines, including your daughter, and claim them as my own. I will dominate them in front of your grave."

"I see..." Chen An nodded.

In the next instant, without even using the Sleep Aid Technique, he formed a sword of light with a single thought, and with a blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Elder Zhao.

"You..."

"Swish!"

Elder Zhao was shocked by Chen An's speed. He wanted to say something, but before he could, a golden sword light flashed before his eyes, and he felt a searing pain in his neck.

Then, a loud thud was heard.

Elder Zhao's head fell from his neck and landed heavily on the ground, splattering blood everywhere.

The several attendants behind him hadn't even realized what had happened when they suddenly felt a searing pain in their necks. They all followed in Elder Zhao's footsteps, their bodies instantly separated from their heads, and their heads fell to the ground.

One Foundation Building Stage 1 expert.

Four Qi Refining Stage 9 powerhouses.

In just a blink of an eye, they all died under Chen An's sword.

Bodies separated, life extinguished.

"Husband..." Wen Zhiyun widened her beautiful eyes, her face filled with disbelief. She thought she was hallucinating.

Her husband had actually beheaded the Elder of the Bamboo Leaf Gang's Law Enforcement Hall and several attendants in the blink of an eye?

What... what was going on?

Wen Zhiyun looked skeptical.

She couldn't remember how many times she had doubted her life.

"Thump!"

Seeing the overly bloody scene in front of her, Song Huaying suddenly felt weak in the legs and collapsed to the ground.

Chen Yuejian, who she was holding in her arms, woke up immediately upon seeing the scene and burst into loud cries.

Seeing this, Chen An immediately used the Sleep Aid Technique on her, instantly making her fall asleep peacefully.

"Yinger, this is not the first time, but the second time," Chen An said calmly. "Don't get weak in the legs every time you see blood. I hope you can be stronger and not hold me back in such trivial matters."

Wen Zhiyun and Gu Xinyue quickly stepped forward and squatted down to search the bodies, showing no fear of the blood-soaked ground.

Song Huaying sat on the ground, staring blankly at her husband and two sisters searching the bodies, her eyes filled with tears of grievance.

Soon, she wiped away her tears, stood up, gently placed her daughter under a tree to sleep, and then, enduring physical and psychological discomfort, silently joined in searching the bodies.

She didn't want to hold back her husband.
