Chapter 276: The Tang Family's Fury
"Brother Wushuang, the Patriarch made Chu Feng the Young Master of our Chu Family... Isn't that arrangement a bit inappropriate? After all, he didn't grow up in the Chu Family, so he doesn't understand anything about it," someone said.
Hearing this, many of the people around them nodded thoughtfully.
It was true that Chu Feng had never lived with the family, and none of them knew him very well.
But when Chu Wushuang heard this, he immediately snapped, "What kind of crap are you all talking about? You've all seen Chu Feng's strength with your own eyes. He can be the Young Master because he has the ability. Or are you saying the Chu Family can rise again by relying on me? On you?"
"That's not it. The point is, we don't know him."
"Whether we know him or not, he's a member of our Chu Family. Chu Feng's strength is undeniably formidable, and I deeply admire him. We are all members of the Chu Family, so you should respect him. After all, he is our Young Master now!" Chu Wushuang said.
The Chu Family disciples: "..."
They exchanged glances, finding it all a bit hard to believe.
What they didn't realize was that Chu Wushuang's pursuit of strength could be described as fanatical. If someone was stronger than him, strong enough to make him yield, he would admire them from the bottom of his heart.
He had personally experienced Chu Feng's strength. It was immense.
It was so overwhelming he couldn't even muster the will to resist, and on that day, Chu Feng hadn't even used his full power.
He believed that if Chu Feng had gone all out, he would have died on the spot.
Therefore, he now greatly admired Chu Feng, viewing him as the goal to pursue in his own cultivation.
He had wanted to immerse himself single-mindedly in his cultivation, but the family had insisted he come out and work. He had no choice in the matter.
In truth, the family was doing it for his own good.
Everyone had noticed something was off with him. Cultivating too intensely could easily lead to a backlash, causing one to go mad.
After all, Chu Wushuang's strength was already quite good, and his talent was exceptional.
He had just happened to run into a freak of nature like Chu Feng, which was why his own brilliance had been overshadowed.
"Remember what I said!" Chu Wushuang admonished them.
"Yes, Brother Wushuang." Everyone nodded in response.
They had no choice; they all respected Chu Wushuang.
Although ordinary people were completely unaware and there were no news reports online, the Chu Family was making a comeback, preparing to re-enter the world.
However, among the Martial Arts Families, it had caused a massive stir.
For this matter, Chu Feng wasn't just looking for proxies; he had also invited some families who were on good terms with the Chu Family.
They were welcoming guests from all corners.
「The Qing Gang, on the Southwest Border.」
At this moment, the three great families of the Qing Gang had gathered.
The Chu Family's high-profile announcement of their return felt like a provocation to the Qing Gang.
"Gang Leader, what should we do? The Chu Family is being so brazen—it's a complete declaration of war against us," a member of the Tang Family said, looking up at the Qing Gang's leader.
The feud between the Tang Family and the Chu Family ran incredibly deep.
In truth, even without Chu Feng in the picture, the Tang Family and the Chu Family had long harbored a deep-seated hatred for each other.
Years ago, the Gang Leader of the Qing Gang had been a member of the Tang Family, but he was killed by the Chu Family.
This had caused the Tang Family to fall to the bottom of the three families. In that battle years ago, the Tang Family had suffered catastrophic losses.
"What are your thoughts on this matter?" the Gang Leader of the Qing Gang asked.
Although they had mauled the Chu Family badly in that war—badly enough to force them into seclusion—the Qing Gang had suffered equally devastating losses.
It was a pyrrhic victory; overall, the Qing Gang had come out of it in worse shape.
The only reason they'd managed it was because the Qing Gang was backed by a Martial Arts Peak Level expert. If it weren't for that old bastard, they would never have been able to keep the Chu Family down.
"Kill their entire family! Don't leave a single one! Not one person from the Chu Family can be left alive!" Patriarch Tang said, his face contorted with fury.
"Patriarch Tang, you should be more careful with your words," someone said. "The Chu Family's old ancestor isn't dead yet, and that man's strength is nothing to scoff at. If we really fight to the death, our own losses will be immense."
"What? Have you all forgotten the losses the Chu Family inflicted on the Qing Gang back then? Our Gang Leader died in battle! How can we not avenge such a bitter feud?" Patriarch Tang said, his face flushed with anger, looking thoroughly infuriated.
"Patriarch Tang, you have the gall to say that? It was because your Tang Family attacked the Chu Family first that the Qing Gang got dragged into it. Our two families each lost several Foundation Establishment Realm experts, not to mention countless other disciples."
"What? Is the Tang Family trying to push the Qing Gang to the edge of a cliff again?" the man retorted.
"I request that the Gang Leader take action! We'll wipe out the Chu Family in one fell swoop. This time, we'll sweep them away completely! Patriarch Liu, don't you forget, when the Chu Family killed your kinsmen, they didn't show the slightest bit of mercy!" Patriarch Tang roared.
"The Chu Family is on good terms with the people from Sword King Valley, and on top of that, there's the Zhao Family. If that weren't the case, the Gang Leader would have acted long ago. Why else would he have waited until now? If we could handle Sword King Valley and the Zhao Family, then our chances would be much greater," the man continued.
