Longevity Reward Redemption: The Immortal Clan Starts with Farmers

30: The emperor issued a decree to seize the land, and Liu Xingye cut off his arm.”Father, did you get the eight hundred acres of land? How much silver did it cost?”

Chen Chuanwen knew his Family’s finances; their savings were far from enough to buy eight hundred acres of land. He had thought his father only went to the county yamen this time to gather information.

He never expected that he would actually bring back the land deeds for eight hundred acres!

”Sigh, it was a complicated turn of events. I don’t know if it’s a blessing or a curse...”

Chen Changsheng sighed softly and told Chuanwen about his cooperation with Baili Ce.

Chen Chuanwen lowered his head in thought for a moment, a sharp light flashing in his eyes as he lowered his voice and said:

”Father, regardless of what that Immortal Official is thinking, we can use him as leverage. He’s using us to make money, and we can use his prestige!”

”At the very least, within Longwei County, he is the most powerful person besides the County Magistrate who controls everything!”

Chen Changsheng nodded silently, narrowed his eyes, and said to Chuanwen:

”Baili Ce is cooperating with us for profit. Therefore, the first month’s dividends must satisfy him. As a dignified Immortal Official, he will not cooperate with useless people.”

”So... the first step is to reclaim those eight hundred acres of land from the Liu Family. Are you confident?”

A cold smile played at the corners of Chen Chuanwen’s mouth. He touched the long saber at his waist and sneered:

”In terms of background and strength, how can the Liu Family compare to us?”

”If the Liu Family doesn’t know what’s good for them, I don’t mind staining my blade with blood to settle the debts of many years once and for all!”

Seeing that Chuanwen was confident, Chen Changsheng felt relieved. He wasn’t afraid of Chen Chuanwen going on a killing spree; he only feared that he wouldn’t have the heart to pull the grass up by the roots.

Fortunately, Chuanwen was a ruthless one!

”Then go and prepare. Head to the Liu Family to demand the land!”

Chen Changsheng gave the order and then went to the courtyard to teach Chuanjie martial arts. A Liu Family that had fallen from grace was no longer worth his concern.

Chen Chuanwen lightly stroked his saber, gave a cold laugh, and then called the Family’s farmhands to head straight for the Liu Family!

At the Liu Family residence, the once-bustling main gate was now deserted. The doors were tightly shut, with only an old man left guarding the entrance.

”Go call someone. Tell Liu Jinshan to come out and see me!”

Chen Chuanwen walked aggressively to the Liu Family’s gate and instructed Double Happiness, the farmhand behind him.

Although the Liu Family’s pillar had collapsed, their accumulated prestige among the villagers remained.

Double Happiness walked to the gate and politely expressed that the Chen Family’s Second Young Master wished to meet with Liu Jinshan.

The old man was quite old and slow-witted; he didn’t immediately realize who the Chen Family’s Second Young Master was!

He remained lying in front of the gate, slowly smoking his pipe with an arrogant air, seemingly wanting to get some silver from Double Happiness.

Double Happiness looked at Chen Chuanwen with some embarrassment. Chen Chuanwen had come today specifically to carve meat from the Liu Family; seeing this, he was in no mood to indulge the other party.

”Heh, can’t hear us talking? Then I’ll make some noise!”

Chen Chuanwen walked to the gate, glanced at the old man, and then walked over to the stone lion in front of the residence. He wrapped his arms around it, gave a low shout, and directly uprooted the stone lion, hurling it violently at the Liu Family’s gate.

*Crash!*

The heavy stone lion smashed a large hole right through the exquisite wooden gate. Chen Chuanwen stood at the entrance and shouted loudly toward the Liu Family residence:

”Liu Jinshan, get your ass out here! It’s time to pay your debts!”

The commotion instantly stunned the old gatekeeper. First, he hadn’t expected anyone to possess such valiant strength; second, he hadn’t expected anyone to dare provoke the Liu Family, the most formidable Family in the village.

The old man’s eyes were wide, and he stood as still as a petrified terracotta warrior, not daring to move an inch!

”Who dares to act so insolently before my Liu Family gate!”

Suddenly, a furious roar came from inside the courtyard. The provoked Liu Xingye strode out aggressively!

The Liu Family naturally had to send people to serve in the military. For the sake of the Family, Liu Jinshan had sent a playboy young master to take the spot, keeping behind the second-stage Flesh Refining Martial Artist, Liu Xingye.

”It’s your Grandpa Chuanwen. Why hasn’t Liu Jinshan come out? Is he making a junior like you shoulder the burden?”

A sneer appeared on Chen Chuanwen’s face as he deliberately provoked the other man.

”Damn you, you little brat! Even when your elder brother was around, he wouldn’t have dared to speak to me like that. Today, I’ll teach you how to behave!”

Provoked by Chuanwen, Liu Xingye’s eyes turned red. His Family was already facing disaster; with County Commandant Liu Jiang’s fall, his own career prospects were ruined.

He was already full of pent-up rage, and being further provoked by the obscure Chuanwen, his temper flared, and he immediately attacked.

Chen Chuanwen’s reputation had always been low-key, so Liu Xingye inevitably felt some disdain and charged in empty-handed!

The Iron-Refining Hand he had learned from County Commandant Liu Jiang indeed had some power when fueled by rage, but unfortunately, he was facing Chen Chuanwen, who had already stepped into the Bone Refining Realm.

Not only was Chen Chuanwen’s Realm a level higher than his, but Chen Changsheng had also made him diligently practice the Five Tigers Gate-Severing Saber for years, making his Martial Skill quite exquisite.

Facing Liu Xingye’s furious punch, Chen Chuanwen remained calm on the surface. Only when the opponent was close and the punch was fully extended—making it difficult to change moves—did he suddenly draw his saber!

The blade flashed, and blood splattered instantly. The sharp long saber sliced through the opponent’s guard with incredible smoothness, and with a light flick at the upper arm, it directly severed Liu Xingye’s tendons!

”Ah... You actually... dare to sever my tendons?”

Liu Xingye’s eyes widened as he shouted in disbelief. He was both shocked by Chen Chuanwen’s high level of martial arts and unable to accept that he would meet such a miserable end.

With the tendons in his right hand severed, his right arm was completely ruined. Even if there were divine medicines in the world that could reconnect tendons, with the Liu Family’s current influence, they certainly wouldn’t be able to get them!

”So what if I severed your tendons? If you dare to strike again, I’ll take your head!”

Chen Chuanwen said coldly, his eyes narrowed. Blood dripped from his long saber onto the ground, coating him in a murderous Aura!

”Ah... You brat, I’ll kill you!”

Realizing his martial path was ruined, Liu Xingye’s mind completely snapped. At this moment, he didn’t care whether he could defeat his opponent; he only wanted to fight to the death.

Just then, Liu Jinshan rushed out of the house, grabbed Liu Xingye, and then bowed low, saying to Chen Chuanwen with a humble expression:

”Second Young Master, please be magnanimous and don’t lower yourself to this fellow’s level. It was my Liu Family that was negligent. Please, come inside for a cup of tea!”

Looking at the Liu Family bowing in submission, a surge of satisfaction welled up in Chen Chuanwen’s heart. Five years ago, they had to endure the Liu Family’s exploitation and assassination attempts without a word, only able to bow their heads and endure!

Now, five years later, their Chen Family had finally made Liu Jinshan lower his head completely before them.

”There’s no need for tea. These are the land deeds for eight hundred acres, signed by the county yamen. Take a good look!”

”From today onward, these eight hundred acres belong to our Chen Family. Take out the deeds you extorted from the villagers and burn them; they are now void!”

Chen Chuanwen said coldly. He then tossed the land deeds, which slammed hard against Liu Jinshan’s fat face like a resounding slap!
