Unrivaled Martial Emperor - Chapter 476 - Imperial City Shaken
Chapter 476 – Imperial City Shaken
Nangong Yue had come.
Just when Chen Fan was about to settle scores with Nangong Xuan, Nangong Ling, and the others, she had come, forcing Chen Fan to take a pause.
“Mother!”
“Yue… Yue’er!” Chen Zhengqing became visibly agitated as Nangong Yue approached, trembling.
It has been twenty years. He and Nangong Yue had been forcibly separated for two decades; today, he finally laid eyes on the person he had longed for day and night.
Likewise, Nangong Yue was overwhelmed upon seeing Chen Zhengqing. Her emotions surged.
“Zhengqing…”
Tears streamed down her cheeks. For twenty years, she had never ceased thinking about her husband and child.
She met Chen Fan over a year ago when he came to the imperial city under an alias. However, that wasn’t a full reunion, as Chen Zhengqing was missing.
Now, the family of three was finally together again in the Qin Clan mansion.
“Yue’er!” Chen Zhengqing moved swiftly, sweeping Nangong Yue into his embrace.
“I’m sorry, Yue’er. I’m late. I’m useless. I made you wait for two decades…”
“Zhengqing, as long as you and Xiaofan are safe and sound, I’m content.”
Seeing his parents embrace, Chen Fan felt his heart soften and his nose turn sour.
For some reason, Qin Yao surfaced in his mind. She left three years ago, and he had no knowledge of her current whereabouts.
Chen Fan clenched his fists.
Great Jin Imperial Court…
One day, he would bring Qin Yao back—without a doubt.
Soon, Senior Sister. Just wait for me. I’ll head to the Great Jin Imperial Court to find you very soon. No one can stop me. No one! Chen Fan thought resolutely.
“Xiaoyue, I’ve made mistakes. It’s my fault, but everything I did was for the clan. It’s all for the clan…” Nangong Xuan wept as he saw Nangong Yue, hoping she would plead on his behalf.
He knew that the Nangong Clan’s fate hinged on a single thought from Chen Fan, and only Nangong Yue could influence that.
Nangong Yue looked at Nangong Xuan and the others with a complicated expression. She sighed, looked at Chen Fan, and said, “Forget it, Xiaofan. It’s all in the past. Spare the grand elder and the others this once for my sake.”
“Fine, I can spare this old coot, but Nangong Ling and Nangong Tong must be punished for their sins!” Chen Fan said coldly.
The relief that had briefly crossed the faces of Nangong Ling and Nangong Tong vanished, replaced by a pallor of fear.
Must be punished?
Will our golden cores also be shattered?
Nangong Ling and Nangong Tong immediately looked at Nangong Yue.
“Xiaoyue, we were wrong. We’ve realized our mistakes.”
“No need to plead for them, Mother. I won’t spare them even if you ask.”
Chen Fan said firmly, “A year ago, these two tried to kill me. Today, they wanted to rip me into pieces. No matter what, I won’t let them off easily!”
Upon hearing that, Nangong Yue did not say anything.
Since Nangong Ling and Nangong Tong had repeatedly tried to take Chen Fan’s life, Nangong Yue couldn’t easily forgive them either.
“No, no!”
The two were in complete despair.
Nangong Xuan wanted to intervene; ultimately, he closed his eyes
He knew that if he were to say a word, Chen Fan might not spare him. If he were killed or had his cultivation crippled, the Nangong Clan would truly be finished.
The members of the Sun and Star Bloodlines looked sorrowful as Chen Fan shattered Nangong Ling and Nangong Tong’s golden cores. T/his chapter is updat𝓮d by n𝒐v(ê(l)biin.co/m
The winner is king, and the loser is a thief. Chen Fan was already showing mercy to them.
If he hadn’t been strong enough, today might have marked the death of Chen Fan and Chen Zhengqing. Would Nangong Ling and the others have spared them?
No!
Ignoring the two broken souls, Chen Fan shifted his gaze toward the Qin Clan’s people and said icily, “Everyone from the Qin Clan must leave within three days. You’re not allowed to bring anything with you, or you’ll die!”
The Qin Clan members trembled violently.
Chen Fan was seizing their assets and stripping them of their status. Their once-proud identity as Qin Clan members would vanish, and the Chen Clan would take their place as the new nobility of the imperial city.
Even though the Chen Clan’s foundations were weak, with Chen Fan around, the Chen Clan would be the undisputed number one clan of the imperial city.
That day, the entire imperial city bore witness to Chen Fan’s exceptional strength. Even Lord Chu dared not force his will upon Chen Fan, instead humbly requesting a favor. Who would dare to oppose him now?
“Watching them build a tower, and watching their tower collapse… I didn’t see the Qin Clan rise, but I have seen their fall. This life is not in vain.”
“Who would have thought that the illustrious Qin Clan would fall apart today, plummeting from the clouds into the abyss overnight?”
“I’m afraid the Qin Clan’s troubles have only just begun. Over all these years, they bullied and suppressed numerous artists and clans. Now that they’re in decline, it would be surprising if those people didn’t seek revenge.”
“Hehe, I know, right? They used to have more than twenty Core Formation realm experts, but Chen Fan killed most of them, leaving only a few old and weak ones. The Qin Clan has completely collapsed.”
“You can’t put it that way, either. A starved camel is still bigger than a horse. They could establish a foothold in the imperial city by relying on these old and weak Core Formation realm experts, though they would fall from the top prestigious clan to a third-rate one.”
“What a pity. The Qin Clan’s thousand years’ worth of wealth would all go to Chen Fan.”
“……”
The crowd sighed.
The Qin Clan had lost everything, including their mansion. They had to leave within three days without taking even a single brick or tile. How cruel was that?
Chen Fan’s trophy was all their treasures and wealth. The Qin Clan members would probably vomit blood in frustration.
If they could bring their fortune with them, they might still have a chance to rise again in the future with those resources.
However, that single sentence from Chen Fan erased all possibilities of the Qin Clan’s resurgence.
Even so, the Qin Clan could only gnash their teeth and swallow their indignity.
Now, they had no right to speak, much less the power to resist.
Resist?
Disagree?
That would be courting death!
Chen Fan’s ferocity when he slaughtered their people was still deeply engraved in their minds. He wasn’t merciful or soft-hearted. Resistance meant death.
Meanwhile, the regret in Nangong Xuan’s eyes grew even thicker when he heard this.
If only he had stood on Chen Fan’s side, the Nangong Clan could have used this opportunity to soar to the skies and have a taste of being the number one prestigious clan of the imperial city.
However, a single misstep led to a cascade of mistakes.
The Qin Clan had completely fallen from grace, and the Nangong Clan that stood by its side would also decline from today onward.
Except for the Moon Bloodline, the other bloodlines’ Core Formation realm experts had all been dealt with. Chen Fan showed no mercy.
Aside from Nangong Baxiong and the other three, the number of Core Formation realm experts still alive in the other bloodlines could be counted on one hand.
