Chapter 161 Flying Geese over Yanshan
"Damn it!"
Enraged, Old Man Qu slammed his palm hard on the ground, instantly shattering it into pieces.
"This person's strength is probably close to the Ming Jin level. What could the Chu family possibly have that would catch his eye?"
Yan Chen frowned and said.
There are very few experts of this caliber in the entire Yanshan City. How could a small family like the Chu family possibly be acquainted with such an expert?
Just as the two were wondering why such a powerful expert would help the Chu family, two figures approached from not far away.
It was Zhou Chengan and Ren Changqing.
The two rushed over to check after discovering the battle was over.
But as soon as the two got close, their expressions changed.
"Brother Yan, Brother Qu—what's going on here—?"
Zhou Chengan sounded anxious and quickly ran over to help Yan Chen and the other person up.
Seeing the injuries on the two people and his own tattered clothes, his heart sank.
These are two Bone Forging Realm martial artists, and they're even working together!
They were actually defeated by that mysterious person just like that?
What are the Chu family's trump cards and abilities that allow them to invite such a master to assist them?
"We two old fools are useless; that man in black robes ran away with Chu Tian—"
Yan Chen's face was bitter as he said helplessly.
"Brother Yan, you flatter me. Unexpected things always happen on the battlefield, so don't worry about it!"
Zhou Chengan shook his head repeatedly.
Although we failed to capture Chu Tian, the Zhou family has been completely defeated and taken over, which can be considered a great victory.
As for Chu Tian, who escaped, we will find clues to eliminate him later.
After tonight, the Chu family will cease to exist in the entire Yanshan City!
"Brother Ren, I owe you a favor this time!"
Qu Laogui also shook his head, and then solemnly said to Ren Changqing.
He had a close relationship with Ren Changqing, and this time, knowing that the Ren family was going to deal with the Chu family, he took the initiative to offer his help.
Now that things have gone wrong, Qu Laogui believes he is responsible for the whole affair.
"That won't do! Brother Qu, you're making me feel so ashamed—"
Upon hearing Qu Laogui's words, Ren Changqing shook his head and waved his hands repeatedly, quickly helping the other man to sit down.
The fact that Old Man Qu came was already a great honor for the Ren family.
Even if the mission fails, he cannot say a single word of dissent to the other party.
Although there has been a minor hiccup, it will not affect the overall result.
"But you must be careful—the Chu family seems to be deeply involved, attracting such powerful people to take action. I'm also a little worried about your future—"
Yan Chen glanced again in the direction the man in black had left, feeling that things were not over yet.
"I think you two should just merge into one. That way you can support each other and your armed forces can be more concentrated."
Qu Laogui suggested.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Chengan and Ren Changqing exchanged a glance.
I have to admit that what Qu Laogui said was right.
Now that the Zhou and Ren families have joined forces, they naturally need to concentrate their resources and unite against external threats.
"We need to go back and discuss this—"
Zhou Chengan pondered for a moment.
Ren Changqing nodded and said, "Let's deal with the immediate matter first."

Tap tap tap —
In the dark alley, hurried footsteps approached from afar, and a figure dressed in black was running rapidly through the darkness.
Pfft!
suddenly!
A black arrow pierced the man's skull, leaving a transparent hole.
The man's eyes were wide open, his pupils still showing the fear of his impending death. He fell to the ground, his blood staining the snow beneath him.
"Wasn't it said that—this person was to be kept alive for questioning?"
Two figures slowly walked out of the alley and then walked to the corpse. Looking at the corpse on the ground, one of the men in black robes said with some dissatisfaction.
"It's a habit—you won't hit me in the head next time you come."
The other man brandished the crossbow bolt in his hand and said calmly.
Upon hearing this, the other person fell silent, took two steps forward, squatted down, and began to examine the body.
They've been keeping watch here all night, specifically targeting any escaped members of the Chu family.
But despite killing many people, they still found nothing.
They had lost patience with this, knowing that the thing would definitely not appear on these Chu family members who had secretly escaped.
Therefore, as soon as the Chu family members were discovered, they were dealt with by a few crossbow bolts.
"Hurry! There's movement over there again!"
Another man in black robes walked to a wall and took down a jet-black iron arrow that was embedded half an inch into the stone wall!
The power of these crossbow bolts truly startled him!
As he reloaded the crossbow, the man in black noticed that his companion was also staring at him.
"What are you doing?"
The man in black frowned.
"It seems like—there's something there—"
The black-robed man touching the corpse had a strange look on his face, and then took out an ordinary bamboo tube from the corpse's bosom.
Open the bamboo tube, and a cylindrical object, resembling a scroll, falls out!
"It's a painting!"
The man in black robes narrowed his eyes and strode forward. "Open it quickly!"
The black-robed man holding the painting nodded, surprised that he could find the painting on this guy at the last moment.
He immediately unrolled the scroll.
The other person took out a tinderbox, lit it to illuminate the painting in his hand.
The light was dim, and a faint firelight appeared.
As the landscape in the painting moves backward, it eventually lands on a line of small characters at the very bottom.
"Wild geese fly eight hundred miles over Yanshan, the landscape is painted for three thousand autumns." —
"Wild Geese Flying over Yanshan Mountain!"
As expected!
Found it!
A series of surprised exclamations began to ring out.
Pfft!
Before the two could even rejoice, the black-robed man holding the tinderbox suddenly had a bloody hole appear on his forehead, his head lolled to the side, and he collapsed to the ground.
The tinderbox went out, and the surroundings immediately became dark.
"who!?"
Another man in black robes cried out in alarm and raised his crossbow, ready to fire in the direction from which the arrows were coming.
But it was too late.
Because at that moment, another arrow pierced through his head from behind!
In an instant, the two black-robed men, who were not weak in strength, died under the arrows without any explanation.
They didn't even get a clear look at the person before their life was ended!
"It seems they're looking for this painting?"
Zhou Zhengtang looked on with suspicion as he gazed at the scroll stained with specks of blood.
He couldn't help but ask in confusion.
"That's probably it!"
Su Hao nodded slightly.
Zhou Zhengtang picked up the scroll, examined it carefully, and frowned slightly.
"Isn't this Yanshan? What's so special about it?"
Zhou Zhengtang was speechless.
They followed the two men all night, watching them kill each other as bystanders.
Without exception, everyone who came from the Chu family became a victim of these two men in black robes.
"You saw how those two acted earlier; perhaps this painting isn't simple."
Su Hao's gaze fell on the painting, and he recognized the scenery in the painting as the entire Yanshan Mountain.
"Perhaps—"
Zhou Zhengtang shook his head; he had no time to worry about such things.
He simply rolled up the painting, tied it with a black rope, and then put it into the cloth bag at his waist.
"It seems the time is almost up. After tonight, the Chu family will cease to exist."

Zhou Zhengtang smiled faintly.
