667 A Great Big Lie
Asking everyone to kneel and apologize to him? This simple statement was akin to dropping a nuclear bomb in everyone's heart. A shocking blast destroyed all their senses. They were not just asked to kneel before Chen Xiaobei but also kowtow to him. Set aside the country, the whole world would be left in bewilderment if they hear of it!
"Son of a bitch! Time to die!"
Once again, Zhuang Hao was furious. Immediately, he formed a battle suit around his body with his True Kang. It seemed like his patience had reached its limit. He was about to dash towards Chen Xiaobei and kill him. On the other hand, the four bodyguards had True Qi channeled around their bodies as well. Standing around Zhuang Hao and glaring at Chen Xiaobei, they did not hesitate to attack Chen Xiaobei once Zhuang Hao initiated the attack.
Frowning, Zhuang Lao Taijun had no intention of stopping him anymore. Considering that the Zhuang Family had never received such scorn before, Zhuang Lao Taijun could no longer suppress her anger. In the other private room, Lan Mengchen took in a huge breath. Her body shook uncontrollably due to fear and worry. She could never understand why Chen Xiaobei would make such a suicidal move. To her understanding, offending the entire Zhuang Family would bring him harm and had no benefits whatsoever.
"Mr. Chen! The Zhuang Family is after all one of the four biggest families in China! Asking us to kneel before you is just absurd! The descendant of the Zhuang Family would be happy to put on a fight with you!" said Zhuang Lao Taijun.
Upon hearing that, Zhuang Hao and his bodyguards were ready to strike Chen Xiaobei. Meanwhile, Lan Mengchen was holding her breath and paying attention to the TV, while praying that Chen Xiaobei would not do something stupid. Zhuang Lao Taijun and Elder Su just stared at him in silence.
At that moment, everyone in the room was waiting for Chen Xiaobei to reply! His reply was going to determine his fate in the room.
Fight?
Or
Truce?
It would all depend on how Chen Xiaobei answers them!
"Fine! Let's fight then! I have never gone through a real combat with anyone right after I stepped out from the mountain! I don't mind destroying the entire the Zhuang Family since all of you insist on putting up a fight with me! You guys are going serve as a warning to the rest of the people in this world! Those that go against me, Chen Zhufeng will die horribly!"
"Chen… Chen Zhufeng? I thought your name is Chen Xiaobei?"
Everyone was taken aback after they heard Chen Xiaobei revealed his true name.
Just got out of the mountain?
Destroy the entire the Zhuang Family?
Serve as a warning?
Chen Zhufeng?
Immediately, everyone felt baffled after they remembered how haughty Chen Xiaobei was when he talked to them.
'Maybe he really is a super elite from some ancient faction!'
'Maybe he does possess the power to destroy the entire Zhuang Family!'
'The name, Chen Zhufeng sounds really powerful and dominating!"
'Maybe his Tao name is Zhufeng Zhenren!'
Suddenly, numerous questions formed in their mins. They felt like something was not right. Trying to imagine that a kid in his twenties without a powerful support at his back would dare to go against the Zhuang Family? That was just suicidal! If he did have someone powerful behind his back, Zhuang Family would most certainly be destroyed if they went against him.
"Zhuang Hao! Stop acting so impulsive! Let's talk about it first!" shouted Zhuang Lao Taijun.
Truthfully, Zhuang Hao and four of his bodyguards were already scared to death before Zhuang Lao Taijun shouted at them. Especially Zhuang Hao; considered that he had a high position in Jianghu and fortune that he could never use up, he would definitely not risk his precious life.
Seeing that Zhuang Hao had stopped his attack, Zhuang Lao Taijun and Elder Su were relieved. Clearly, they were scared to death by Chen Xiaobei as well. They were worried that a grave mistake like that would cause unrepairable damage to the Zhuang Family.
However!
They never thought everything that Chen Xiaobei told them was made-up.
There was no coming out from the mountain.
He certainly was not powerful enough to destroy the entire Zhuang Family.
His name was not Chen Zhufeng.
Those were his lies!
This was all psychological warfare!
Without a doubt, Chen Xiaobei had won in this battle. From the beginning till the end, everything happened according to his plan. In the end, the entire Zhuang Family was terrified by the things that Chen Xiaobei told them. Though they were stronger than Chen Xiaobei, none of them dared to do anything to him.
Such irony!
Even Lan Mengchen was taken aback when she saw what just happened to the Zhuang Family from the TV. It was hard for the smart Lan Mengchen to believe that the all-powerful Zhuang Family was just pinned down by Chen Xiaobei completely. This was truly unbelievable! Actually, the lies that he told them was not the main reason why he won in this psychological warfare! His state of mind was the reason that he won in this battle!
Though he was lying to them, his powerful state of mind allowed him to act as arrogant as possible in front of them – making them believe everything that he told them. Of course, his steadiness contributed to his victory as well. That was why the winner of this battle had already set in stone before the battle even began! The last step was to make the Zhuang Family apologize to him. They would definitely not mess with him after this incident.
Solving the problem once and for all! This was the result that Chen Xiaobei wanted. Suddenly, a slow and steady footstep could be heard outside the room. A man in his fifties entered the room. His hair was all white. With a wooden hairpin holding his hair up and in a crimson Tao robe, he looked like he just traveled from ancient times to this modern world. Immediately, everyone could not wait to show their respect to him when they sense his deity-like temperament.
"Hengfeng Zhenren! You are finally here! Lao Taijun! Master Zhuang! This is my old friend from Mount Shu Faction, Hengfeng Zhenren! With him being here, everything can be solved with ease!"
"Pleasure to meet you Hengfeng Zhenren! Your name precedes your reputation! You are really out of this world when we finally get to meet you in person!"
Immediately, Zhuang Lao Taijun and Zhuang Hao went and greeted him in a polite manner. Needless to say, they were joyful when they saw him. At the side, the four bodyguards treated him with a good amount of respect by bowing to him. To them, Chen Xiaobei would surely be defeated with this super elite on their side.
However!
All them were baffled when they witnessed their elite acting in an extremely polite manner towards Chen Xiaobei. Putting both hands together and bowing to Chen Xiaobei, he said, "My living god, please accept my utmost respects!"
"What now? Did you just come here to be killed by me?" said Chen Xiaobei scornfully with an icy glare.
