345: Xie Chen came out of seclusion, his family was destroyed and everyone was dead

Black Night Church’s main hall.

“Greetings to God Child on his return, and congratulations to God Child on his Major Achievement in divine power!”

… …

As the guard at the entrance called out, Xie Chen stepped into the main hall.

“Good, good, good! It is the fortune of our Black Night Church that God Child could enter the Grandmaster Realm in such a short time!”

The Holy Emissary, seated at the head of the table, spoke with excitement.

“God Child is too powerful!”

“God Child is a role model for our generation to learn from.”

“The Church will definitely create new glories in the future…”

… …

The flattery was endless, and Xie Chen couldn't help but straighten his back a bit more.

After he came to stand below the main seat, he bowed to the Holy Emissary and said:

“Holy Emissary, I want to go home for a trip. Now that my divine power has reached Major Achievement, I believe that with my persuasion, the Xie Family’s incorporation into the Black Night Church will be a sure thing.”

After leaving for a few months, his cultivation had improved so much. Xie Chen could already imagine the astonished expressions of the Xie Family members when they saw him.

And his parents and several Elder sisters would definitely be proud of him.

What if he had fallen into a cult?

As long as he showed a little of his cultivation, everything would no longer be a problem.

In an era where the strong prey on the weak, strength was everything.

Upon hearing this, the Elders in the hall exchanged glances but gave no feedback.

“Ahem, well…”

The Holy Emissary lightly coughed twice,

“God Child’s divine power has just reached initial success, so the priority should be to consolidate his Realm. As for going home… let’s plan everything carefully.”

Feeling the perfunctory attitude of the Holy Emissary and the Elders, Xie Chen felt a slight displeasure in his heart:

“Does Holy Emissary not believe that I can succeed in persuading them?”

Xie Chen scanned everyone present, his tone firm,

“As long as I, Xie Chen, make a move, success is guaranteed. Although I haven’t shown up in the Xie Family for a long time, with my current strength, even the Xie Family Old Ancestor will have to show me three points of respect when I return!”

Joking, showing me three points of respect is being humble.

They’ll probably even come out to greet him barefoot!

After he finished speaking, Xie Chen’s Aura suddenly erupted, a powerful might that only a Titan Realm expert possessed.

Seeing this, everyone didn’t say anything, but they were all complaining endlessly in their hearts.

“You probably don’t know that the Xie Family now only has some lonely ghosts left…”

“Still showing you three points of respect, the grass on the Xie Family Old Ancestor’s grave is already three zhang high.”

… …

“We naturally believe in God Child’s appeal.”

The Grand Elder was the first to speak, breaking the awkward atmosphere,

“It’s just that during God Child’s seclusion, many things happened to the Xie Family, and we haven’t had a chance to tell you yet…”

Before the Grand Elder could finish speaking, Xie Chen interrupted him, saying:

“Oh?! There’s such a thing, could it be that Old Ancestor has broken through to the Grandmaster Realm?”

If Old Ancestor broke through to the Grandmaster Realm, he could become an Adjudicator in Dragon Country.

I understand, these people think I can’t suppress the Xie Family Old Ancestor.

What a joke, even if Old Ancestor enters the Grandmaster Realm, he’s at most similar to me.

With the Black Demon Mist’s blessing, I can definitely suppress him in terms of combat power.

Who are these old geezers looking down on?

Thinking of this, Xie Chen smiled casually:

“Grand Elder, please rest assured, even if Old Ancestor is a Dragon Country Adjudicator, my words still carry a lot of weight.”

The Grand Elder had many complaints about this God Child in his heart. Relying on his identity as God Child, he completely disregarded him.

So, the Grand Elder smiled slightly:

“I believe in God Child’s importance to the Xie Family.”

He paused, then continued,

“What I wanted to say is, the Xie Family has been wiped out…”

Boom!

Upon hearing this, Xie Chen’s vision went dark, and he almost fell to the ground.

He looked at the Holy Emissary, who was shaking his head and sighing from the main seat, confirming that what the Grand Elder said was true.

“Wiped out?! Who did it?!”

Xie Chen’s eyes were bloodshot, his voice hoarse,

“As one of the four great Families in the Capital, and with an Old Ancestor at the Grandmaster Realm, who has the ability to wipe out the Xie Family?!”

“Alas, it’s our fault for reacting too slowly. By the time we learned of the news, the Xie Family was already…”

The Holy Emissary sighed, looking mournful.

“Please tell me who the culprit is, God Child!”

Xie Chen’s eyes were splitting with rage, and his hands clenched in his sleeves, making a creaking sound.

The Holy Emissary comforted him:

“It’s fine to tell you, but don’t be too impulsive. The other party is not someone you can afford to provoke.”

“Holy Emissary, please rest assured, I, Xie, am not an impulsive person. Even if a Martial God expert did this, I will endure the humiliation and wait until my strength is strong enough before settling the score with the other party.”

“The other party is Dragon Country’s new Adjudicator… Jiang Fan.”

???

Xie Chen was a little bewildered for a moment.

This name?

First, it was certain that this was definitely not Dragon Country’s Martial God.

Nor had he heard of any Grandmaster Realm expert in Dragon Country named that.

Could it really be that kid who did it?

Thinking of this, Xie Chen’s voice was dry, and he asked with some uncertainty:

“The Jiang Fan you’re talking about, it wouldn’t be the person I met at the Training Camp, would it?!”

The Holy Emissary nodded:

“It is indeed this person.”

Xie Chen’s expression instantly became incredibly complex, with anger, confusion, and more bewilderment.

“Impossible!”

Xie Chen shook his head,

“He… what Realm is he now?”

Xie Chen found it hard to accept.

A few months ago, Jiang Fan was only at the Grandmaster Initial Stage Realm.

It hadn’t been long, how could he possibly have the strength to destroy the Xie Family? After all, the Xie Family had Old Ancestor, an expert at the Grandmaster Realm, holding down the fort.

He basically had the strength to sweep through Grandmaster Realm experts, how could he have been wiped out by Jiang Fan?

There must be some hidden truth to this.

“He should be at the Grandmaster Realm. We suspect that a Martial God expert attacked the Xie Family that day, which is why the entire Xie Family was wiped out…”

The Holy Emissary’s words confirmed Xie Chen’s guess.

Sure enough, there was a Martial God expert backing him!

“Jiang Fan! I will never rest until one of us is dead!

Today, I, Xie Chen, swear here that I will definitely kill this child!”

Xie Chen gritted his teeth, wishing he could tear Jiang Fan into ten thousand pieces immediately.

Grandmaster Realm?

He could crush him with one hand.

Xie Chen, who was already at the Titan Realm, had enough confidence to suppress Jiang Fan.

Just then,

Outside the main hall, a guard rushed in:

“Reporting to Holy Emissary! Fourth Elder… has fallen!”

“What? Fourth Elder is dead? Even with the Ancestor Insect’s help, he still failed?!”

The Grand Elder was startled upon hearing this,

“What’s the situation with that Ancestor Insect?”

“Reporting to Grand Elder, the Ancestor Insect is also dead, and many of the Mother Worms here at headquarters have died along with it.”

Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder sighed deeply.

The Ancestor Insect and the Mother Worms shared a karmic link; when the Ancestor Insect died, the Mother Worms of the same lineage would also die simultaneously.

“With Jiang Fan’s ability, it’s impossible for him to resolve the Fourth Elder and the Ancestor Insect alone.”

The Second Elder, who had a very close relationship with the Fourth Elder, analyzed,

“Could it be the Martial God named Huang Qianyu who was with him that made the move?”

As soon as this was said,

Everyone nodded, finding it reasonable.

Indeed, Jiang Fan, a Grandmaster Realm expert, certainly couldn’t deal with a combination of a Titan Realm expert and an Ancestor Insect.

However, if a Martial God expert made a move, the outcome would be hard to say.

The Grand Elder’s face was full of confusion:

“But, we clearly told the Fourth Elder to bring Feng Qianxun’s Divine Phoenix True Feather. Didn’t we say that their siblings’ relationship is very good, and Huang Qianyu would definitely be hesitant and not dare to act?”
