Chapter 233: Seven Years in a Flash
"Senior Xu, Yan Yu harbored evil intentions and committed unforgivable crimes. I have now executed him. However, the nine great families behind him are still a cancer. If they are not eradicated, I am afraid that they will cause trouble for thousands of years."

Three more rounds of wine were served, and five more dishes were served. After Chai Xin toasted Xu Daoqing from a distance, he suddenly changed the subject in a light tone.

As soon as these words were spoken, the lively atmosphere in the room suddenly became silent again.

There were no fools among the people present. Of course, they could hear the strong murderous intent hidden in this seemingly casual tone.

Even Xu Daoqing, an old man who was shrewd and cunning and never showed his emotions, couldn't help but raise an eyebrow when he heard this.

It's obvious from what this young man said that he wants to wipe out the roots!

As the lord of this city, he has been treated perfunctorily by the nine great families for many years. Naturally, he wants to get rid of them as soon as possible.

Moreover, as a qualified superior, he had already thought about this when Yan Yu died.

However, the nine major families are easy to deal with, but Yan Cangqiong behind them is by no means an easy opponent!
In terms of strength, the old guy might be a little inferior to the law enforcer Liu Yu, but in terms of scheming and tactics, he is even better.

You must know that when Yan Cangqiong was the commander of the Second City, Xu Daoqing was already the lord of this city, and the guide at that time was the law enforcer Liu Yu!
At that time, Xu Daoqing had to rely on the two of them. Although he was the city lord and the person with the highest status in the city on the surface, he was actually just a figurehead.

Later, Liu Yu and Yan Cangqiong made breakthroughs in succession and became Saint Kings. One was transferred to the Law Enforcement Department with greater power, and the other was appointed as the guide of thirty cities.

This is intended to promote the highest level, but is also a means to prevent the local forces in the Second City from becoming too powerful and becoming the personal enemy of a certain family.

The two people's actions made Xu Daoqing feel sad, but at the same time, he couldn't help feeling a little relieved. After all, the two huge mountains around him had flown away.

However, the nine major families headed by the Yan family still refused to give up power. Relying on the Sage King behind them, they acted recklessly and almost turned the second city of the human race into a private territory.

As a result, even after Xu Daoqing had achieved the realm of Saint King, he still endured it in secrecy, and even kept the fact that he had entered the realm of Saint King a secret, in order to avoid alerting the enemy.

It was precisely because he had worked with Yan Cangqiong and Liu Yu before that he was very familiar with their personalities and was wary of Ruo Si.

"This... the evildoers of the nine major families have already been killed. If we rashly start killing again, I'm afraid it will be unjustified and will attract criticism."

Xu Daoqing is also a descendant of an aristocratic family, but he is not born in this city. He is well aware of the unspoken rules of the game between big families.

If he dared to take people to destroy the nine major families immediately, Yan Cangqiong and Liu Yu would definitely become desperate, and even the top leaders would punish them severely after finding out.

Even though he was already a Sage King, and also the lord of a city and a guide, he did not dare to risk the wrath of the world and massacre all the noble families in the city.

"Have all the evildoers been killed? That may not be the case..."

While Chai Xin was speaking, he suddenly waved his hand and the Lihuo God Furnace appeared in his palm.

"Buzz!"

As the air shook slightly, more than a dozen figures in armor appeared on the scene.

These people were obviously confused and had not yet realized what was happening.

Not only these people, but everyone in the field was confused by Chai Xin's actions.

"What happened? Could it be that the Lord Law Enforcer saved us?"

"Chai Xin! You, a devil, dared to kill the patriarch of my Yan clan. You will never have a good ending!"

After a while, the dozen people gradually came to their senses and were shocked to see Chai Xin sitting on his seat.

The others also understood that these were the masters from the nine major families that Chai Xin had deliberately left behind and suppressed in magic weapons!

"This boy's scheming is no less profound than any of the older generation!"

After Xu Daoqing was stunned for a moment, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

At this point, how could he still not see through the deeper meaning of Chai Xin's actions?

"Liu Yu has already fled because of his crime. Why don't you, the remaining scum, bow your heads and confess your crimes?"

Chai Xin put down his wine glass and stood up suddenly. A sense of power emanated from his body and pressed down on the people below.

"What?! The Lord Law Enforcer escaped? Impossible!"

The masters of the nine major families all showed incredible expressions and could not believe what Chai Xin said at all.

However, when their thoughts swept through the void and did not find any trace of Liu Yu, they suddenly panicked.

"run!"

"This boy is ferocious. Escape back to the clan quickly and activate the clan protection formation!"

Almost instantly, more than a dozen masters from the nine major families flew away.

Chai Xin remained indifferent to this, and even had a smile on his face.

After a long time, he put on a cold face again and shouted: "The nine major families are stubborn and shielding the guilty. How can Chai condone it?"

After saying this, in front of everyone's increasingly dazed eyes, he transformed into a divine rainbow and quickly flew towards the direction of the Yan family.

“This… is too cruel!”

Looking at the place where Chai Xin disappeared, Fairy Qingshi's beautiful face was full of shock. She was stunned for a moment before she slowly spoke.

At this point, everyone in the field understood Chai Xin's intention.

From the very beginning, he had no intention of letting the nine major families go!

The reason why these dozen masters were left behind was to go on a killing spree in the name of arresting the murderer.

"Brother Chai is going to the big family to capture the remnants. Does City Lord Xu want to wait and see what happens?"

Fairy Qingshi turned her beautiful eyes to Xu Daoqing who was not far away and asked with a smile.

Xu Daoqing's face was uncertain, and he finally coughed and said righteously: "In order to prevent the nine major families from being destroyed, I must stay in the city lord's mansion to prevent unrest in the city! I think that with the strength of Mr. Chai, he is enough to crush all the villains in the nine major families."

Having said that, in reality he just wanted to reap the benefits.

At this moment, using Chai Xin to destroy the nine major families would undoubtedly be a great thing for him.

Afterwards, even if Yan Cangqiong and Liu Yu, or even the top management, investigated the matter, he could stay out of it.

Moreover, Chai Xin was indeed smart enough to keep those dozen masters as an excuse in advance. Otherwise, the other party would attack the nine major families so openly, and Xu Daoqing, the city lord and guide, would not be able to sit idly by.

After all, every wrong has its perpetrator. It would be fine to kill those who killed you, but there is no reason to destroy the family, not to mention that there is a powerful old man in the family.

Everyone couldn't help but feel a little numb when they thought about how Chai Xin could think about all these things so calmly even in such a tense state at the beginning of the battle.

This not only shows his far-reaching scheming, but also means that he has strong confidence in his own abilities!
If he didn't have the confidence that he could defeat Liu Yu, why would he have the extra energy to arrange all these details?
On this day, the second city of the human race was swept by an unprecedented bloody storm. The nine major families dared to attack him, and given Chai Xin's character, he naturally retaliated without mercy.

However, it is not necessary to kill them all.

Among them, all the members of the Yan clan who had cultivation levels above the Immortal Stage were killed by Chai Xin; the remaining eight major families, the current patriarchs, and those who resisted were all killed as well.

Killing is not the goal, it is just to calm the anger in the chest. If you kill endlessly, you will fall into the devil's barrier and affect your own Taoism.

As for whether the revenge plots in legendary novels would appear among the descendants of the nine major families, Chai Xin didn't care at all.

The first priority in achieving enlightenment is to establish an invincible heart. If you kill everyone in the world because of hidden worries in your heart, you are doomed to fail in reaching the top of the Tao.

In short, killing is the way, and not killing is also the way.

The Tao lies in one's heart.

Even though he had suppressed his murderous intent, Chai Xin's action still shocked the entire ancient road. Countless people who heard about it privately changed the title of "Chai Invincible" to "Chai Demon God".

When Chai Xin learned of this title, he just laughed it off.

What does the world’s praise or criticism have to do with him?
Speaking of which, this name is quite similar to the "Chai Demon King" that is popular in Beidou.

In addition, when Yan Cangqiong heard this news, he was naturally furious.

There are even rumors that he has applied to the top leadership to reverse his decision and execute Chai Xin, the "rebel", but his request was rejected by the top leadership.

Not only that, someone in the top leadership even ordered a reprimand for Yan Cangqiong and Liu Yu, saying that the two had formed a clique for personal gain and ordered them to reflect on their mistakes for a year.

The signal sent out by this action undoubtedly shows the attitude of the top leadership - support Chai Xin!
In fact, this is not difficult to understand. It is impossible that the top leaders are completely unaware of the improper behaviors of some guides and law enforcers below.

It's just that due to some reasons, it doesn't happen often.

Now, taking advantage of the Chai Xin incident, it is a perfect opportunity to make use of this issue and also to warn those big families who have been too active recently.

Besides, Chai Xin is such a gifted man, a peerless genius who is said to have surpassed high-level Saint Kings at the Saint level. How could the top leaders not take care of him?

At that level, they no longer care about the gains and losses of a family or a place; those things are completely insignificant compared to the rise and fall of the entire human race.

Even though there are some selfish and powerful elders in the top leadership, they cannot influence the overall situation. After all, the general direction of the human race is always controlled by several quasi-emperors who have been secluded from the world.

Even if the great saints at the top level were given great courage, they would not dare to go against the wishes of the quasi-emperors.

This is also the fundamental reason why the human race has been able to survive to this day and prosper day by day.

From then on, Chai Xin's reputation became more and more famous, and spread throughout the entire ancient starry road. Even in many distant star fields, there were legends of "Chai Invincible" and "Chai Demon God".

Since leaving the second city of the human race, Chai Xin has been moving forward and no one dared to be his enemy. There are even many people who came to follow him and ask for his guidance.

He rejected most of these people, but there were some who were sincere and had similar personalities and characters, so they stayed in the end.

In the blink of an eye, seven years passed.

Chai Xin cherishes this ancient trial road which has left countless opportunities by the ancestors of the human race. He never speeds up his pace, but moves forward slowly, carefully experiencing every possible opportunity.

Seven years have passed, and although he has not yet passed the tribulation, his own understanding has reached the extreme. Among his peers in the world, there is probably no one who can surpass him.

On this day, he left the 27th city of the human race and continued along the ancient starry road.

Beside him followed seven outstanding human beings, each of them had the strength of a supreme saint. Two of them were even invincible saints, and were only a step away from becoming a Saint King.

These seven people are much older than Chai Xin. The youngest is over a hundred years old, and the oldest is nearly three hundred years old.

Of course, at the age of less than 300, they have achieved such a level of cultivation, which puts them among the top among the many geniuses of the entire human race, and even among all races.

Among those saint-level beings in the Big Dipper Star Region, which one is not an antique that is at least three or four thousand years old?
Compared with those people, those who are less than 300 years old are truly young people.

It is like a ten-year-old boy in front of a centenarian, or the sun at five or six o'clock in the morning.

The seven people wanted to follow the traditional custom of the ancient road and call Chai Xin "Lord" or "Master", but the latter refused and directly asked them to call him "Master".

When they learned that the name of the sect "had not been decided yet", the expressions of the seven people were exactly the same as those of the Green Dragon King and the Red Dragon Taoist at the beginning, their faces were full of confusion and disbelief.

But Chai Xin said that the name of a sect was related to fortune, so one must be cautious. If one had enlightenment in the future, blessings would naturally come to the mind, so there was no need to choose one hastily.

After hearing these words, the seven people felt even more impressed.

As they were walking in the starry sky and were about to arrive at the 28th city of the human race, Chai Xin was suddenly startled and stopped.

"Master, why are you stopping?"

The strongest and most burly young man among the seven stepped forward and asked in confusion.

This man's name is Li Danxi, and he is also the oldest among the group. He has a generous and free-spirited personality, is chivalrous and righteous.

Chai Xin did not answer, but took out the Lihuo Divine Furnace.

Everyone looked at it in confusion, only to discover that the palm-sized divine furnace was constantly trembling, as if some mysterious force was pulling it.

"Why... why is the Lihuo God Furnace vibrating inexplicably?"

Another young man whose strength was very close to Li Danxi's spoke. There was a sharp and fierce aura in his temperament, like a divine sword that was about to leave its body.

This person's name is Zhu Zifeng. He has recently reached a bottleneck in his practice of a sword technique, so the sword intent in his body is somewhat out of control.

The seven people have followed Chai Xin for a long time, the shortest of whom has been more than three years, so they naturally recognize some of the treasures on him.

"I've never seen anything like this before. I think... Master must be in crisis."

When he said goodbye to Jiang Taixu, the other party had left a mark in the Lihuo Divine Furnace. As long as Chai Xin was still in Beidou, the other party could use this mark to teleport here.

In addition to this, there is also an incarnation that will appear when it senses that Chai Xin is in danger.

However, Chai Xin made rapid progress and it has been hard to find an rival on the Ancient Trial Road in recent years. Naturally, he has never triggered this incarnation hidden in the Lihuo Divine Furnace.

"The mark left by the master is actually weakening. What happened to Beidou..."

Chai Xin frowned, then quickly put away the Lihuo Divine Furnace and looked up at everyone.

"Do you know which city the nearest star gate is in?"
