Chapter 678 - 678 Shen Family's Arrival
Neither Ghost King Demon Queen nor others dared to confront Cui Yulong, but the Right Protector was different. He stared coldly at Cui Yulong and said in a deep voice, "Cui Yulong, we are all from the Sha Men. Are you trying to bully others just because you have more power?"
"So what if I am!" Cui Yulong retorted coldly, "Blood-Sealed Throat, don't forget how you humiliated me back then."
"Let bygones be bygones. Right now, we share a common enemy and must confront the Shen Family. Everyone from Sha Men should give their all for this cause. As a member of Sha Men, you should be fully supportive, not hindering us at this juncture!" Right Protector said firmly, "Though you seized the Seven-Star Ancient Sword, you are still one of us. Giving the Ancient Sword to someone else is inappropriate!"
"So what if it's inappropriate!" Cui Yulong looked at Right Protector with cold eyes and said, "If you're not convinced, why don't you fight me!"
Enraged, Right Protector said in a deep voice, "Cui Yulong, it's always the same with you, do you really think no one can beat you?"
Impatient, Cui Yulong stood up, casually grabbed a wooden box next to him, and said sternly, "Are we fighting or not?"
Right Protector, furious, was about to rise and speak when suddenly, someone rushed in from the entrance and exclaimed, "Right Protector, we just got word that the Shen Family's convoy is less than fifty kilometers from Shenchuan City. They will enter the city within an hour!"
Upon hearing this, everyone from Sha Men stood up. At this moment, Right Protector also set aside his dispute with Cui Yulong and ordered solemnly, "Send someone to tail them immediately. Report back as soon as they enter Shenchuan City!"
"Understood!" The messenger hurried out to carry out the task. Right Protector turned to the Sha Men's crowd and declared, "Everyone, the Shen Family has finally arrived. It's time for them to repay what they owe us. I won't say more; killing is nothing difficult for Sha Men. This time, we must ensure the Shen Family doesn't leave alive!"
The crowd erupted in outcry, their hatred for the Shen Family momentarily making them forget everything else. Even the Netherworld Scholar shouted loudly for murder. The atrocity of the Shen Family slaughtering for three thousand miles ten years ago was a grudge none from Sha Men could forget!
At midnight, most of Shenchuan City was shrouded in darkness. However, the Lin Family Courtyard was still brightly lit, especially the building where Lin Huayu resided—there were at least ten people standing guard outside.
After the continuous kidnappings, Lin Zhen Nan couldn't sit still any longer and had spent a fortune on bodyguards to protect her. Even so, he still felt uneasy and invited Shen Baichuan to stay in Lin Huayu's building as a precaution against further attacks.
"Uncle, don't worry with me here!" Shen Baichuan patted his chest and said, "No matter what kidnapper comes, as long as they dare enter the Lin family, I'll make sure they don't leave in one piece. Let cousin rest well, just leave everything here to me!"
Lin Zhen Nan glanced at Lin Huayu beside him, frowned slightly, and said, "Baichuan, don't take this lightly. The kidnapper is very strong—probably a master. Even Ye Qing suffered a loss at his hands. Be very careful!"
Hearing the name Ye Qing, Shen Baichuan's expression clearly showed his displeasure. He waved his hand dismissively and said, "Uncle, how could Ye Qing, a third-rate character, compare to us of the Shen Family? Rest assured, with me here, nothing will happen!"
"Cousin, how can you talk about Brother Ye like that!" Lin Huayu pouted discontentedly and said, "Brother Ye isn't a third-rate character; he's a true man!"
"Him, a true man?" Shen Baichuan scoffed, "He's just riding on the coattails of a woman. Without the opportunity given by the East State Poisonous Mantis, could he have reached his current position? Hua Yu, don't be fooled. Without the Poisonous Mantis giving him a chance, he'd still be a worker struggling for his next meal, not at all a true man!"
"You're talking nonsense!" Lin Huayu refuted immediately, "Brother Ye reached his position through his own hard work. Humph, I won't talk to you anymore. You only slander Brother Ye; you're not a good person!"
Lin Huayu said this and turned to leave, huffing with anger. Shen Baichuan's face turned icy, filled with rage, but he couldn't lose his temper and could only clench his teeth and blame Ye Qing in his heart.
"Baichuan, I know there's a misunderstanding between you and Ye Qing. He's actually a good person, and you must have misunderstood him!" Lin Zhen Nan said, "When we have time, I'll have Ye Qing come out, and we can clear up this misunderstanding between you two!"
Shen Baichuan didn't dare act too presumptuous in front of Lin Zhen Nan, so he nodded and said, "Uncle, don't worry about me. You should go back and rest; it's getting late. I'll handle everything here!"
"Thank you for your trouble!" Lin Zhen Nan took one last look at Lin Huayu's room, still somewhat anxious.
"Uncle, rest assured, with me here, there won't be any problems!" Shen Baichuan declared, thumping his chest with assurance.
Lin Zhen Nan glanced at the bodyguards outside, and with a semblance of peace of mind, he turned and went back to rest.
As Lin Zhen Nan walked away, Shen Baichuan's face gradually grew colder, and he muttered through gritted teeth, "Ye, our Shen Family's men are about to enter Shenchuan City. Hmph, let's see how long you can jump around. Once our family arrives, I'll personally take your life!"
At 1 am, on the highway in the northwestern suburbs of Shenchuan City, five sedans were slowly driving towards the city. There weren't many vehicles on the highway late at night, and this convoy of five cars was the largest on the road.
The lead car carried a single passenger, Shen Qianyue, the most outstanding youth of the Shen Family. He sat in the passenger seat, with a man and a woman in their forties behind him. Both had cold expressions, reclining in their seats with their eyes closed, seemingly indifferent to everything outside.
Shen Qianyue, sitting in the front, was a bit nervous, checking the rearview mirror from time to time to observe the convoy behind him. Inside the five cars were the elite experts of the Shen Family, coming to Shenchuan City this time to settle matters with the Sha Men once and for all.
As Shenchuan City drew closer, several lights flickered in the distance behind the convoy. Shen Qianyue immediately sat up straight and turned to look carefully, seeing several cars speeding towards them. The speed of those cars was so high it made one wonder what the occupants were up to!
Shen Qianyue frowned slightly, quietly instructing the driver beside him to be careful. Meanwhile, he sat up straighter, watching the approaching vehicles intently, ready to face whoever was coming.
The vehicles drew nearer, and finally, the foremost car closed in on their convoy, signaling to overtake by flashing the left turn signal.
The vehicles behind wanted to give way, but Shen Qianyue, in a hurry, grabbed the walkie-talkie and shouted, "Don't let them overtake!"
As he spoke, two cars had already been overtaken. Hearing Shen Qianyue's words, the third car immediately moved towards the center, blocking the car that was trying to overtake.
That car was traveling at a high speed and almost collided with them, but fortunately, the driver braked in time, narrowly avoiding an accident. However, this move seemed to infuriate the other driver, who continually honked the horn, signaling for the car ahead to move aside.
Of course, that car was not going to move aside and just blocked the trailing cars, not letting them overtake at all. Shen Qianyue in the front, continuously issued commands through the walkie-talkie.
Finally, the woman in the back opened her eyes and asked, "Qianyue, what's the matter?"
Shen Qianyue said, "Second Aunt, there are eight cars coming from behind, of unknown origin, very suspicious. I suspect these cars might be from the Sha Men, seeking to ambush us, attempting to overtake and block us to launch a surprise attack!"
The woman turned to look at the cars behind them. Since they were being blocked, those in the rear seemed quite angry, continuously honking and flashing their lights. Someone from one of the cars even stuck their head out, loudly swearing and demanding they clear the way.
The woman frowned slightly, saying, "Let them overtake."
"Second Aunt..." Shen Qianyue anxiously said, "If they're from the Sha Men, if we get stopped, I'm afraid..."
"Afraid of what?" The woman glared at Shen Qianyue and said, "Ten years ago, we made the Sha Men flee in disarray, and ten years later, we can still do it. Do you think the remaining scum of the Sha Men can turn the tide? We, the Shen Family, have never been afraid of anyone. So what if the Sha Men have come chasing? If they want to rush to their deaths at this time, then let's send them on their way!"
The woman's words were full of pride, showing the arrogance that was shared by everyone in the Shen Family. Seeing her take this stance, Shen Qianyue no longer dared to say anything and could only use the walkie-talkie to instruct the cars behind to make way.
After the Shen Family's cars gave way, three cars behind immediately charged forward, directly overtaking Shen Qianyue's car. And just as Shen Qianyue had predicted, those three cars stopped right in the middle of the road, blocking all of their cars.
The remaining five cars also blocked the road behind, trapping the Shen Family's five cars in the middle.
Twenty or thirty people from the eight cars surrounded them, shouting loudly for the Shen Family members to get out of their cars. Especially the three cars in the front, several men wearing Taekwondo uniforms were shouting as they approached, knocking on the hood of the leading car, yelling for the people inside to get out.
Noticing the attire of these people, Shen Qianyue slightly frowned and said, "Second Aunt, it seems that they are not from the Sha Men, but probably members of a Taekwondo Association from Shenchuan City."
The woman also recognized their identity and waved her hand impatiently, saying, "Send them off!"
"Yes!" Shen Qianyue responded and got out of the car.
"Are you f*****g asking for death?" Seeing someone from the car step out, the men ahead suddenly became excited, and one of them, pointing at Shen Qianyue, started swearing, "You even dare to stop our cars, are you sick of living, do you know who is in the cars?"
