Chapter 68: Menacing

"Don't worry, leave this matter to me. Go back and tell others that I will go out to fight on time tomorrow."

Gu Chen said casually.

"Senior Chen, does he have a way to deal with four worshipers?"

Concubine Huang was relieved after hearing this. Gu Chen's calmness gave her confidence.

Gu Chen nodded without elaborating, and Huang Fei left with his promise.

Not long after returning to the meeting hall, the uncle and the second uncle also came back, with gloomy faces on their faces.

"How's it going with grandpa?" Huang Fei asked immediately.

"We stayed outside the door for a long time, but your grandfather didn't respond. I'm afraid he won't be able to come out tomorrow."

The two smiled bitterly and asked with concern, "What did Chen Gongfeng say?"

"Senior Chen said he will go out on time tomorrow."

Huang Fei's answer made the two men relax their brows a little, and the uncle asked cautiously.

"He just said he wanted to go to war? Did he say how he was going to deal with the four worshipers of the Lan family?"

Huang Fei shook her head, and the group of people suddenly became uneasy again.

There is no specific plan, and Chen Gu’s efforts alone are really worrying!

"Did he agree easily? He wasn't just perfunctory with you, was he? You know, we can only count on him now. Don't let him run away."

The second uncle of the Huang family said worriedly.

Gu Chen had previously asked them to tolerate the Lan family, but now he was willing to fight, which was really unconvincing.

"Second uncle, why are you talking? Senior Chen is not that kind of person!"

Huang Fei's face suddenly turned cold.

Although the previous events made her a little disappointed with Gu Chen, she still had great trust in him.

Especially at this critical moment of life and death, how can we allow such rumors that shake the morale of the military?

"Everyone saw Senior Chen's strength with our own eyes. Now that things have developed to this point, we can only choose to believe in him. If we don't unite now, the Huang family will really be doomed."

At this moment, she showed the authority of the family head, and everyone nodded without saying anything more.

That night, everyone in the Huang family could not sleep, worried about the unknown fate tomorrow.

I finally made it to morning.

"Uu——"

The war horses neighed and their hooves flew. As soon as dawn broke, a large group of people from Greedy City headed straight for the Huang family!

The Lan family is on the move. Yesterday they submitted a battle invitation, and the news that today they will drive the Huang family out of Tanlang City has already spread.

With the Huang Mansion as the center, almost all nearby residents have evacuated, for fear of being involved in the vicious fight between the two major forces.

Everyone knows that after today, there will be only one big force in Tanlang City, and that force is, not surprisingly, the Lan family!

At the entrance of the Huang Mansion, the head of the Lan family got off his horse and walked into the Huang Mansion with a smile on his face, accompanied by the Zheng family brother and sister, Liu Zhenren and Yin Tutuo, the four monks.

The guards of the Huang Mansion all looked nervous as if they were facing a formidable enemy, walking on thin ice under the pressure brought by the monks.

"Master Lan, my genius has just begun. I didn't expect you to come here."

The uncle of the Huang family immediately came out to greet him, with anger on his face.

"Don't you want to settle everything early so that your Huang family can have enough time to pack their luggage?"

The head of the Lan family teased. These words made the Huang family's uncle angry, but he didn't dare to make any mistakes in front of the four monks.

After a while, Concubine Huang and the others also arrived, and they didn't look good when they saw the arrogant Lan family.

"Everyone, please come in. Come and serve tea!"

Concubine Huang showed great self-control and invited several people to sit in the hall.

"You're welcome, little girl. Elder Wu should be here soon. Let's wait for him here. Let's take a look at the Huang Mansion. The scenery in the courtyard is very nice."

Concubine Huang has been the head of the Huang family for a long time, but now the head of the Lan family calls her little girl, which is full of disrespect.

What's even more disgusting is that he looked around Huang Mansion as if the place had become his.

The people who came from the Lan Mansion also behaved very arrogantly. The Huang family looked at the four monks and dared not speak out in anger.

"Hurry up and invite Senior Chen."

Concubine Huang spoke to a cousin, who nodded and left in a hurry.

Not long after, it was bright and clear, and the people from the Yunyan Sect arrived.

The leader was none other than Elder Wu. As soon as he arrived, the head of the Lan family immediately stepped forward with a smile.

"Elder Wu, you are here."

Patriarch Lan and Elder Wu appeared to be very familiar with each other, and Elder Wu smiled brightly when he faced him.

Concubine Huang stepped forward to say hello, but Elder Wu deliberately ignored her and acted lukewarm, which was completely inferior to his previous attitude.

Everyone in the Huang family felt heavy after seeing this scene. It seemed that the Yunyan Sect was really preparing to help the Lan family unify Tanlang City, so they deliberately showed alienation.

"Now that everyone is here, let's begin today's life-and-death battle. Why haven't we met Mr. Huang yet?"

Elder Wu personally presided over the competition.

Everyone in the Huang family fell silent immediately. Since yesterday, they had sent people to guard outside the old family leader's retreat, waiting for him to leave the retreat.

But the old man didn't respond at all, and he definitely wouldn't be able to come out today.

Seeing the heavy look on the Huang family's face, the head of the Lan family still doesn't understand what's going on?

"It seems that Mr. Huang is old and can no longer fight."

He breathed a huge sigh of relief. The biggest change today was Huang Pingzhang. The evil reputation he earned when he was young still intimidates the entire Tanlang City.

Now that the Huang family is at a critical moment of life and death, and he still hasn't shown up, that can only mean that his strength is really gone. It is even possible that he has actually died of old age, but the Huang family has hidden it until now.

"It seems that today's competition can be avoided. The Huang family will withdraw from Tanlang City today."

The handsome Zheng Fenghe said calmly.

"It's too early to say this. Chen Chongfeng is already on his way."

Concubine Huang immediately retorted, trying to cheer up the demoralized Huang family.

"Chen Gu? We have four people here today. Could it be that the Huang family plans to send him alone to challenge us?"

A sneer appeared on Zheng Li's face, "Let alone fighting the four of us, even if he only fights me, Chen Gu's chances of winning are extremely low."

"If the Huang family relies on him, then it's better to admit defeat as soon as possible and don't waste each other's time."

These words were spoken with deep disdain, which made the Huang family angry and unable to refute.

Although Gu Chen said he would fight, most people in the Huang family were not optimistic about it at all.

Those were four monks. Chen Gu was so young, how could he possibly win the battle no matter how powerful he was?

What's more, the fact that he asked the Huang family to be patient earlier showed that he lacked confidence and did not dare to challenge the Lan family's enshrinement head-on.

"We haven't even fought yet, so why are you so sure? Aren't those two of you the defeated generals of Senior Chen? There's nothing to be arrogant about!"

Huang Fei was angry and pointed at Liu Zhenren and Yin Toutuo who were silent.

When the two of them heard this, their expressions suddenly became a little uneasy.

The defeat at the hands of Chen Gu last time caused them to lose their position as worshipers of the Huang family. They were left with a disgraced face, the other was seriously injured, and became the laughing stock of many comrades.

This time they came, firstly for the generous rewards given by the Lan family, and secondly to avenge their previous shame.

Today, the Zheng family brothers and sisters are helping out, but they don't take Chen Gu seriously.
