The System Arrives: Leading My Clan to Become the Strongest

34: Chapter 34 The Demise of the Gu Family”A total of 900,000 Spirit Stones, right?”

Jiang Chen said as he prepared to take out the Spirit Stones.

”Um, no need, no need. Just pay me the cost; 500,000 Spirit Stones will do.”

Shopkeeper Huang said with a pained expression, his gaze flickering as he looked at Jiang Chen.

”What’s going on, Shopkeeper Huang?”

Seeing Shopkeeper Huang like this, Jiang Chen more or less knew that the shopkeeper seemed very afraid of him. Could there be some problem with Shopkeeper Huang?

”Um, Clan Leader Jiang, please don’t kill me. I really didn’t know that Gu Tiande wanted to kill you.”

”What happened?”

Looking at the situation, he must have played a part when Gu Tiande came to kill him.

”Th-that... Gu Tiande’s subordinate came to me to find out about your situation. You know, I’m just a mere Foundation Establishment Realm and I’m not good at fighting. His Gu Family has two Foundation Establishment Realms, so I didn’t dare to offend them, therefore...”

”So you told them everything you knew.”

Jiang Chen spoke indifferently, his gaze filled with scrutiny as he looked at the other party.

In an instant, Shopkeeper Huang felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, his whole body turning cold.

”This, this, this...”

He lowered his head, not daring to speak. This was a ruthless man who had even killed Gu Tiande. He heard there were two other Foundation Establishment Realms; this person had killed three by himself. This grand sir was truly someone he couldn’t afford to offend.

If he had known Jiang Chen was this powerful, he would have been firmer no matter what. Now, although he had taken benefits from the Gu Family, his life was in danger.

”What did you tell them?”

Jiang Chen looked at Shopkeeper Huang with a sharp gaze.

”Nothing much, just... just said that your grandfather somehow broke through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, and that your Jiang Family had no other Foundation Establishment Realm experts besides him.”

Shopkeeper Huang’s voice grew quieter and quieter until finally, it was so quiet a pin drop could be heard.

”Shopkeeper Huang, you and my grandfather might not be very close, but you’ve known each other for a long time, right? Don’t you know what kind of situation you’ve put my Jiang Family in by doing this?”

Looking at Shopkeeper Huang, Jiang Chen felt an impulse to slap him to death.

But he held back. If he made a move in this Market, he wouldn’t have any chance of escaping from a Golden Core True Person.

”Jiang Chen, get out here!”

Just as Shopkeeper Huang wanted to continue explaining, an aged voice resounded throughout the Market. Suddenly, everyone in the Market looked toward the source of the voice in horror.

A white-clothed, white-haired old man was seen walking through the air, flying directly toward Jiang Chen’s location.

Jiang Chen walked out of the shop. At this moment, he felt that he was locked onto by the other party.

However, Jiang Chen could simply ignore this kind of lock-on. If he wanted to, he could break free from it at any time.

”Who are you?”

Jiang Chen looked at him. Although he guessed that this was the Old Ancestor of the Gu Family, he still asked.

”I am Gu Songnian of the Gu Family. Was it you who killed Tiande?”

”Yes.”

Jiang Chen didn’t deny it. It was just a mere Foundation Establishment Late Stage; his sword was already thirsty.

”Since you admit it, then slit your own throat here to give yourself some dignity.”

Gu Songnian spoke indifferently, his tone full of contempt.

”Heh, old thing, my life is very tough; ordinary people can’t take it. Who do you think you are?”

Jiang Chen said disdainfully.

”You... In that case, don’t blame me for taking action personally.”

”Then come on, who’s afraid of whom?”

Jiang Chen said with a provocative look.

”Seeking death!”

Seeing that Jiang Chen showed no respect for his Seniors, Gu Songnian charged directly at him. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Jiang Chen.

Watching Gu Songnian’s attack about to land, Jiang Chen only said indifferently:

”One Sword Comes From The West.”

*Boom.*

It was like a sword chime. In Gu Songnian’s eyes, Jiang Chen seemed to hold the heaven and earth, kneading them into a sword of heaven and earth that fell straight toward him. He wanted to dodge, but no matter what, he couldn’t. He collided with that giant sword.

And then, there was no then. Under this sword, his body turned into starlight, his consciousness completely dissipated, vanishing into the world.

The entire Market was silent. When Gu Songnian made his move, everyone had moved away from Jiang Chen’s area, watching from a distance.

Originally, in their understanding, Gu Songnian of the Foundation Establishment Late Stage could slap the other party to death. But the result was that the other party killed Gu Songnian in an instant.

One must know that Gu Songnian was the strongest person in Tianfeng City besides the one in the City Lord’s Mansion.

They didn’t expect that such a powerful figure in their eyes couldn’t even last one move against the opponent.

”Old Ancestor!”

Just then, at the intersection ahead, Gu Tianxuan arrived with a group of Elders. They happened to witness the scene of Jiang Chen killing the Old Ancestor with one sword. For a moment, everyone from the Gu Family was shocked.

They hadn’t expected that Jiang Chen, whom they regarded as an enemy, would be so powerful.

Jiang Chen looked toward the source of the voice, narrowed his eyes, and the green feather sword appeared again. One Sword Comes From The West shot through the air toward them.

”Quick, run!”

Seeing that Jiang Chen actually attacked without saying a word, Gu Tianxuan shouted hurriedly, but it was already too late.

After his voice fell, Jiang Chen’s attack arrived. Under Jiang Chen’s One Sword Comes From The West, not a single member of the Gu Family was left.

Having dealt with the Gu Family members, Jiang Chen looked at the crowd watching the show in the distance.

As Jiang Chen’s gaze shifted to them, they could no longer bear the pressure he exerted and scattered like birds and beasts.

In the blink of an eye, there wasn’t a single person left in the entire Market. No, wait, there was still Jiang Chen and Shopkeeper Huang.

At this moment, Shopkeeper Huang was completely stunned. This Jiang Chen was a god of slaughter—no, a killing seed.

Seeing Jiang Chen’s gaze turn toward him again, he could no longer stand and knelt directly before Jiang Chen.

”Clan Leader Jiang, it’s all my fault. Please be magnanimous and forgive me this once. I promise there won’t be a next time.”

Shopkeeper Huang said incoherently.

”Hmm, no next time?”

Jiang Chen asked doubtfully.

”Yes, yes, yes. I promise, there definitely won’t be a next time.”

Shopkeeper Huang nodded hurriedly.

”Oh, it’s fine. You won’t have a next time.”

”What?”

Feeling that Jiang Chen’s words were a bit off, Shopkeeper Huang asked in confusion.

However, he would never hear the answer. At that moment, a sword light flashed, and Shopkeeper Huang crashed to the ground.

”Next time? Who are you kidding? If there’s a first time, there’s a second. If there’s a second, there are countless times. Do you think I’m stupid? As long as you’re gone, there won’t be a second time.”

Jiang Chen muttered to himself.

For a moment, Jiang Chen was filled with emotion. Looking at the five Storage Pouches in his hand—well, not bad. As expected, the things that don’t cost money are the best.

As the idle Jiang Chen was preparing to leave, a squad of soldiers walked up to him. Jiang Chen glanced at them doubtfully.

”Sir, the City Lord requests your presence.”

The leader bowed respectfully to Jiang Chen.

”The City Lord is looking for me? That Golden Core True Person, what does he want with me?”

Jiang Chen asked doubtfully. He didn’t even know the man, so he didn’t know why he was being summoned!

”I don’t know. Please ask the City Lord yourself, Sir.”

The leader said respectfully once more.

”Lead the way.”

Jiang Chen didn’t want to make things difficult for them and spoke directly.

”Please follow me.”

Soon, the leader led Jiang Chen toward the City Lord’s Mansion.

At this moment, the City Lord’s Mansion.
