Chapter 257: The Humiliated Ye Xiu
After hearing Shen Songshan’s words, Shen Monong finally realized he wasn’t joking.
She grew anxious and said, "Great-grandfather, I can’t find him! Even if I could, he’s a Great Grandmaster. How could I possibly kill him?"
"How you find him and how you kill him is your business. I don’t care!"
Shen Songshan’s voice was utterly cold and merciless. He waved his hand and commanded, "Men, take Shen Shijie to the dungeon. If I don’t see that boy’s corpse in three days, execute him."
"Yes!"
Instantly, two young men from the collateral branches of the Shen Family flanked Shen Shijie and dragged him away. Throughout the ordeal, Shen Shijie neither argued nor begged for mercy. He was so terrified that he trembled, wet himself, and was rendered speechless.
When Shen Monong saw Shen Songshan having Shen Shijie locked in the dungeon, she panicked. The Shen Family dungeon was for executing death row inmates, and anyone locked inside almost never came out alive.
She looked at Shen Songshan in disbelief. Even a fierce tiger won’t eat its own cubs. To kill an outsider, he’s actually willing to send his own grandson, Shen Shijie, to his death. He’s simply inhuman!
Shen Songshan surveyed everyone on the rooftop and announced, "Listen up! Anyone who can find and kill that boy will become part of the Shen Family’s Main Lineage, and I will personally teach them Martial Arts."
His words threw the members of the Shen Family, who had been enjoying the spectacle of Shen Shijie and Shen Monong’s downfall, into an uproar. Excitement flashed in everyone’s eyes.
They were desperate to become part of the Main Lineage—it was all they ever dreamed of! Becoming part of the Main Lineage meant they could compete for the position of Head of the Shen Family.
「...」
The war between the Lian Family and the Shen Family grew increasingly fierce as reinforcements continued to arrive for both sides. The conflict raged until evening, ending only when the Lian Family was annihilated and their allies had fled in defeat.
Both sides suffered devastating casualties in the battle. It was a Pyrrhic victory where they lost eight hundred of their own for every thousand enemies killed.
However, after this battle, no family or sect in Qingfeng Road, or even the entire Qi Yun Dao, could rival the Shen Family.
Qingfeng Road and the entirety of Qi Yun Dao were about to witness a great reshuffling in both the Ancient Martial Circle and the business world.
However, Shen Monong and the members of the Shen Family’s collateral branches cared little for this. As soon as the war was over, they began frantically searching all over Qingfeng Road for Ye Xiu.
Meanwhile, Ye Xiu was sitting on the subway, bored and playing a game of Snake.
The subway came to a stop, and a young mother carrying a child boarded.
"Please, sit here," Ye Xiu offered, quickly giving up his seat.
"Thank you," the young mother said shyly, sitting down with her child in her arms.
