The Demon Concubine of God

Chapter 269 You are safe and sound

Shen Wen, who was taken away, woke up amid a quarrel.

He never dreamed that this time he fainted and was taken away by Hu Chong who was hiding nearby.

Hu Chong brought him back to the thatched hut at the foot of the mountain. After his descendants confirmed that he was the culprit Shen Wen, he asked his grandson to watch him and instructed them not to kill him for the time being.

At first, everyone lived in peace until Hu Chong went out for something. Then the true intentions of the Hu family's descendants were exposed. Some of them who were vindictive began to instigate the killing of Shen Wen to vent their hatred.

Some people, taking Hu Chong's foolish filial piety towards him into consideration, naturally tried to stop him from taking action.

The ones who quarreled the most fiercely were Huang Yulian's brothers Huang Zuxing and Huang Zudai. Huang Zuxing respected his grandfather Hu Chong, while Huang Zudai was filled with hatred and wanted to kill Shen Wen to vent his anger. So they had different opinions and quarreled and even fought over it. So the second son of the Wang family, Hu Meng and Hu An, led by them, also quarreled endlessly. A few days ago, Liu Jizong, the only remaining child of the Liu family, and Huang Yulian's second brother Huang Zuwang, followed the Hu family's uncle Hu Yang to the mountain to find Hu Xiangxiang, and they have become zombies attached to the bones.

With new grudges and old grievances, Huang Zudai was a reckless young man who acted recklessly when his brain was hot. He didn't care what his grandfather Hu Chong wanted to do with Shen Wen. He just wanted to kill Shen Wen first.

Shen Wen half-opened his eyes in a daze and shouted, "Oh, it's so noisy. Why are you so rude when I'm sleeping?"

After he finished speaking, he felt the surrounding noises immediately quiet down, and Shen Wen then looked around.

I...

"There are quite a lot of people here, all of them are acquaintances."

Shen Wen didn't know why he said this.

As soon as he said this, the hair dryer blew up the fire that burned the mountain even more fiercely. Huang Zudai immediately rushed towards him with a knife in hand. If someone hadn't stopped him, his knife would have hit Shen Wen.

Shen Wen sat up immediately.

It was like falling into a cave full of snakes. I couldn't sit, stand, or even run away.

Wang Cun, the second son of the Wang family, stood closest to Shen Wen and said, "Boy, you have lived to the end of your life. Just wait."

Perhaps because he said this, Shen Wen calmed down a lot. He looked at the two groups of people arguing with a smile on his face. After watching for a while, he said, "Strange, it seems that one person is missing. Where is your Hu family's Patriarch Hu Chong, the Great Hero Hu?"

Juan opened his eyes and said to him with vicious eyes: "You are qualified to mention my father? I think you think your life is too long."

Hu Meng even turned around and slapped Shen Wen in the face, but fortunately Shen Wen dodged quickly.

When Shen Wen looked back at these people again, they were all staring at him hungrily, as if they wanted to eat him alive.

Shen Wen smiled again and said, "It seems that I can't escape today, but I won't accept it. Since you want me to die immediately, I think it would be fair if I fight with you and then die."

Juan laughed and said, "Since you said so, then I'll grant your wish."

Huang Zudai, who was on the side, said to Juan, "Uncle, I will fight him first."

Shen Wen didn't waste any time. He got off the bed, stood still and waited for Huang Zudai to attack him.

Huang Zudai naturally intended to kill him with one move. After the two of them exchanged two or three moves, Huang Zudai changed his tactics and focused on attacking Shen Wen's injured waist and abdomen. This really made Shen Wen overwhelmed. If anyone else fought with an injury, it would be hindered.

Just when Shen Wen was not paying attention for a moment, he was slapped and his body tilted and was about to fall. Huang Zudai's sword was aimed at Shen Wen's back and was about to fall.

A flying knife broke through the door and hit Huang Zudai's sword with a clang sound. The force was so great that Huang Zudai's sword fell out of his hand and onto the ground.

Immediately afterwards, two people flew in from outside the door and landed at the same time.

When everyone looked, they saw that it was Hu Chong and Guan Yonghuan.

The first thing Guan Yonghuan saw was Shen Wen lying on the ground, but fortunately he was not injured.

Guan Yonghuan glared and looked around, angrily saying, "You bastards, I knew you wouldn't be able to resist killing people."

Hu Chong was even more furious. He grabbed his son Juan, threw him to the ground and said, "You have grown wings and dared not listen to me. I think you are tired of living." After saying that, he was about to kill Juan with a palm.

Hu Meng quickly stopped his father's knife and said anxiously, "Father, please calm down. Father, please spare my life."

Juan was also frightened and begged: "Father, spare my life, father, I was wrong."

The other grandchildren all knelt down to plead for Juan, and Huang Zudai even said, "It's not Third Uncle's fault. I was the one who insisted on killing that man. If Grandfather wants to kill someone, just kill me."

Guan Yonghuan was still not satisfied, so he kicked Huang Zudai in the stomach, causing him to spit blood. Guan Yonghuan scolded him, "You are quite clever. Seeing the deep affection between you two, your grandfather wouldn't beat you even if he said it was your idea, right? Are you just taking advantage of your younger self?"

Hu Chong felt somewhat unhappy when he saw that he had touched Huang Zudai, but he did nothing.

Guan Yonghuan went to help Shen Wen who had already stood up.

After helping Shen Wen onto the bed, he looked at Hu Chong and said, "Old Hu, tell me, your descendants have offended the owner of our Zhong Family Manor. How do you plan to apologize?"

Hu Chong coughed and said, "Look at what you said. Didn't I just apologize? I rescued your owner from the soldiers and personally went to notify you and brought you here to pick him up. This counts as an apology. What do you think? Is my apology sincere enough?"

Guan Yonghuan pointed at Huang Zudai and Hu An and said, "But they wanted to kill our owner. If we hadn't arrived in time, our owner would have died at their hands."

Hu Chong said: "He was not killed, was he? You just taught the young man a lesson, what else do you want?"

Guan Yonghuan said, "No, I have to kill these two bad guys, otherwise how can I establish my authority in the martial arts world?"

Huang Zuxing said angrily, "How can you be so vicious, old man? It was Shen Wen who provoked us first. Some of our Hu family members died or fled because of him. Now at this point you want my uncle and younger brother to die for your shitty prestige. You are so shameless."

Guan Yonghuan laughed at being scolded. He said, "Hey, you are right. Becoming the enemy of my Zhong's Manor means the extermination of the entire clan. Since you don't know this rule, go ask your grandfather if my Zhong's Manor has always been like this."

Hu Chong glared at Huang Zuxing, then said: "He is the son of the Demon Cult. The people of the Demon Cult are willing to be slaves. What kind of a reputable and upright place do you think he is? Are you talking about reason with the Zhong Family Manor? This is what your three uncles taught you during the years I was away?"

Hu Meng immediately pulled his nephew, signaling him to stop talking.

Although Juan was afraid of Guan Yonghuan and Zhong's Manor, he still said stubbornly: "The former owner of Zhong's Manor is long gone, and the Zhong's power is no longer as strong as before. There is only a member of the Demon Cult to support the appearance. I don't believe it..."

He glanced at Shen Wen and said, "This manor owner is so weak that he can fall down at the slightest gust of wind. I'm afraid he's only a bluff left."

Shen Wen immediately chuckled.

Shen Wen looked at Hu Chong. He looked him up and down and asked, "You brought me down from the mountain?"

Hu Chong nodded.

Shen Wen said, "If I remember correctly, you were also nearby that night at Guandi Temple, right? You should have fought with Qu Qiushui's zombies. It's strange! When zombies target others, the invisible bone-attaching snakes will immediately drill into the person's body and treat that person as a host. How come you are safe and sound?"

After hearing what he said, Hu Chong also thought of this problem.

Shen Wen continued, "You will be fine if you have come into contact with the Bone Snake. There are also several others who have come into contact with the Bone Snake and are fine, such as Qu Qiushui, the people in Guandi Temple, and of course Chu Yanqiu, but Chu Yanqiu borrowed the protection of the treasure of the Diyi Armor."

Then Shen Wen looked at Hu Chong again.

After hearing what he said, Hu Chong suddenly had an idea and his eyes had nowhere to hide.

Shen Wen said: "The Hu family is very powerful in the martial arts world, and the head of the Hu family is a powerful man with superb martial arts skills. Just like what your son said, you should not be afraid of my Zhong's Manor. May I ask why?"

Hu Chong's eyes dodged, he looked elsewhere and said: "Master, you are joking. Zhong's Manor is a huge dark empire, we can't confront it head-on."

Shen Wen smiled and said, "That makes sense. So, the deaths of the Hu family's relatives won't be attributed to me, right?"

When Hu Chong heard this, he said to his descendants seriously, "Your sister Huang Yulian died of illness. It has nothing to do with Master Shen. The others all brought it upon themselves. Don't have the evil thoughts of involving innocent people in the future. And your uncle and mother, their deaths have nothing to do with Master Shen. I'm telling you, if you provoke Master Shen again in the future, you don't need Master Shen's people to kill you. I will clear the door before they do. Do you understand?"

These words were sonorous and powerful, like heavy hammers hitting their hearts. No one would treat them as just talk. The sense of life-threatening crisis made them dare not say another word.

The head of the family, Hu Chong, was able to keep the situation under control, and the subsequent communication was much more friendly. No matter how unwilling the two boys from the Huang family were, they did not dare to act rashly.

Shen Wen learned that Hu Chong intended to bring his children and grandchildren back to Hujiabao, but there were soldiers guarding the foot of the mountain and he could not get out for the time being.

Guan Yonghuan told Shen Wen about the situation of the officers and soldiers who came down the mountain. He said that there were not only troops from the Northern Barbarians, but also a small wave of troops from the Da Jue Kingdom. Not only that, many people from the martial arts world also came one after another, and with the addition of people from the Immortal Sect, it was really lively.

Hu Chong wondered, "I really don't know why so many people were involved?"

Guan Yonghuan once caught a few gossips to inquire about the matter. He looked at Shen Wen meaningfully.

Shen Wen didn't seem to care. He even joked, "No matter what they are doing, they are just people who come here to do sneaky things. I think they will not be able to do what they want to do, and they will end up going there without coming back. That's sad."

Hu Chong and Guan Yonghuan were not as optimistic as he was.

Hu Chong said, "I say you are such a boaster. Do you know what kind of power these people represent? I don't know where you get the courage to say such big words."

He turned to look at Guan Yonghuan, and the deep meaning in his expression suggested that the master they found was not very good.
