Chapter 229: The Chen Family Surrenders

“It’s just a virtual divine artifact.”
Chen Xiao waved his hand, and the virtual divine artifact flew directly into his palm. At this moment, Chen Xiao was truly in the Source Realm, with only his mental energy fluctuations suppressed. Now, controlling Snowflakes Drifting was even easier for him.
“How… is this possible?!” Chen Xuantong and Chen Xuanlong’s faces turned pale.
The family’s ancestral treasure had been so easily taken by this young man? They felt like they might faint.
Chen Xuanlong had already had most of his life force drained by the ring of the virtual divine artifact, leaving him pale. Seeing this, he let out strange gurgling sounds from his throat before collapsing.
Chen Xiao held the virtual divine artifact in his hand, fiddling with it constantly.
“Will you surrender?” Chen Xiao gently stroked the artifact, a faint smile on his face. “As long as you submit, I promise I won’t harm you in the slightest.”
“Who are you exactly, and why attack my Chen family for no reason?” Chen Xuantong’s expression darkened, almost dripping with anger.
“You’ll find out.” Chen Xiao waved his hand, and a green wave rushed into Chen Xuanlong’s body, saving his life.
“You…” Chen Xuantong was shocked by Chen Xiao’s action.
“Don’t worry, I’m saving him,” Chen Xiao shook his head. These people were even one generation above his grandfather, but those from his great-grandfather’s generation were still his ancestors. He wouldn’t go too far.
“I have the power to destroy everything here, including all descendants of the Chen family. If you surrender, the clan can continue to thrive. If you resist, there’s only destruction.”
Chen Xiao waved his hand and tossed the virtual divine artifact into Chen Xuantong’s hands. There were countless such artifacts in the Main God’s Space, so holding it meant little to him.
Chen Xuantong glanced at Chen Xuanlong, who was now unconscious and supported to the side, then at the Chen family members behind him. Their faces showed determination, with no sign of retreat.
“Sigh…” Chen Xuantong sighed and said, “I hope you’ll keep your promise.”
“Elder!” A tall young man behind Chen Xuantong suddenly shouted, “Elder, I, Chen Wenhú, would rather die in battle than live on through such charity!”
Chen Wenhú was the same one from The Soul of China. He stepped forward boldly and said, “I’ve already sought help from The Soul of China to resolve this. I hope you’ll stop now!”
“The Soul of China?” Chen Xiao frowned. He remembered the Great Immortal’s words—that destroying the Chen and Dragon families was a test for him. If he passed, there seemed to be another task ahead.
“That’s right! The Soul of China! The greatest supernatural force in China!” Chen Wenhú stood tall, pride shining in his eyes.
The Soul of China protected China and suppressed various forces. Not only did foreign supernatural groups fear it, but even internal forces in China avoided provoking it.

“And moreover, one of the Chen family’s descendants holds the Heavenly Group Order within the Soul of China and has earned the recognition of the Heavenly Group. He can fully utilize this order to provide support to the Chen family!” Chen Wenhu said loudly.
“Wenhu!” Upon hearing this, Chen Xuantong’s expression changed drastically. He snapped, “Stop mentioning this matter!”
Chen Xiao’s identity had long been made public—everyone in the Chen family knew she was the granddaughter of Chen Jianzhou.
“Oh? What is it?” Chen Xiao raised her eyebrows slightly upon hearing this.
“Ah, never mind. I hope you’ll keep your word,” Chen Xuantong shook his head and turned away, saying weakly, “For the sake of the family’s legacy, everyone, surrender.”
After saying this, Chen Xuantong seemed to age by dozens of years; his once clear eyes became clouded.
Hearing Chen Xuantong’s words, the super-grade ancient martial artists behind him and some of the Chen family’s descendants who were preparing for battle paled, eventually lowering their weapons in resignation.
“Chen Xuantong… I should call you uncle, right? My name is Chen Xiao.”
Suddenly, Chen Xiao’s voice reached Chen Xuantong’s ears directly.
Chen Xuantong’s eyes suddenly lit up with an incredible glow. He raised his head and stared at Chen Xiao blankly, opening his mouth but not knowing what to say.
Chen Xiao sighed softly and spoke to him again, “My grandfather’s enemy is the Dragon family. As for what to do with the Chen family, it depends on his decision.”
In an instant, Chen Xuantong seemed to understand everything. He sighed, “It was our mistake back then. Nothing can be undone now. We don’t ask for your forgiveness, but we hope to give the Chen family a way out.”
Chen Xiao nodded. “If my grandfather takes control of the Chen family again, all grudges will vanish. After all, we’re family, right?”
“Mm…” Chen Xuantong nodded. “What about that world of supernatural abilities…”
“Don’t worry. My subordinates know exactly when to stop and won’t kill indiscriminately.”
Hearing Chen Xiao’s words, a hint of guilt flashed in Chen Xuantong’s eyes. They had made a mistake back then, and everyone in the Chen family understood that.
Chen Xiao sighed. In truth, he had no feelings toward the Chen family. He showed mercy because he saw the reluctance in Chen Jianzhou’s eyes.
Moreover, the Chen family was a powerful force. If they were to absorb the entire Chen family, the power of the Glory Temple would rise to another level.
As Chen Xiao’s strength grew, he increasingly realized the benefits of faith power. If he could comprehend the soul and reach the level of a cultivator, his understanding of the laws would become even smoother under the endless flow of faith power.
The main divine entity provided strength, but the laws still needed to be understood by Chen Xiao himself.
However, Chen Xiao never revealed where his power came from. Now that he had told Chen Xuantong his identity, it didn’t matter—sooner or later, Chen Xuantong would find out anyway.
And by revealing his identity, he also wanted Chen Xuantong to understand that the Chen family was not in danger of being exterminated, completely dispelling any thoughts of resistance.

“I also don’t know how much higher that Dark Supreme God is. With the power of a Supreme God, after escaping, he should immediately contact other Supreme Gods and return to fight again, right? Could it be that he hasn’t revealed my situation?”
After dealing with the Chen family in the secular world, Chen Xiao immediately used his supernatural card to return to the world of supernatural powers.
Thinking about the so-called common enemy of Supreme Gods mentioned by the Dark Supreme God, Chen Xiao felt a sense of unease, unable to find peace for even a moment.
“Sohen,” Chen Xiao immediately contacted Sohen in the Supreme God’s space.
“Younger master, what are your orders?” Sohen’s figure appeared before Chen Xiao, speaking respectfully.
“You, Shadow, and Mengfei, go to the Land of Origin right now to investigate the situation. See if the Dark Supreme God has returned to the Land of Origin. Also, stay there to assist Cassius in expanding his power.”
Chen Xiao gave direct instructions. Now that the time restrictions in the Supreme God’s space for its followers had been lifted, Sohen and the others could freely enter and exit both the outside world and the Supreme God’s space.
“Yes, younger master.”
A glimmer of fervor appeared in Sohen’s eyes. In the Supreme God’s space, he was only responsible for managing one world, which was monotonous and even lacked opponents. How could such a strong person tolerate loneliness?
Now that Chen Xiao had sent them to the Land of Origin, it was exactly what he longed for.
Sohen’s body instantly returned to the Supreme God’s space, where he contacted Mengfei and Shadow. They then used the passage between the Land of Origin and the Supreme God’s space to head there.
Feeling that Sohen and the others had left, Chen Xiao breathed a slight sigh of relief. With those three watching over things there, plus Shangxie at the second level of the Primordial Spirit Realm, Chen Xiao could finally relax a bit.
“Next is to wait for news from Fuyun.”
Chen Xiao returned to the Glorious Temple but did not go to look for Fuyun. He believed that with Fuyun and Yuannie, it would be no problem to eliminate the Chen family’s power in the world of supernatural powers, so he no longer needed to get involved.
“Xiaozi, how did it go?” Chen Jianzhou’s eyes lit up slightly upon seeing Chen Xiao return. He asked hesitantly, clearly feeling uneasy.
“I didn’t kill a single person,” Chen Xiao sighed lightly. “I revealed my identity, and the Chen family in the secular world has surrendered.”
Hearing Chen Xiao’s words, Chen Jianzhou finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Grandpa, after all, the Chen family is our roots. No matter how wrong they were in the past, I won’t uproot my own roots.”
Chen Xiao smiled. “But the Dragon family must be destroyed.”
Chen Jianzhou nodded. “If it weren’t for the pressure the Dragon family exerted on the Chen family back then, the Chen family’s ancestor wouldn’t have made such a decision.”
A faint green light flashed in Chen Jianzhou’s eyes. The divine power of wood emerged slightly from within him, the result of him integrating that Primordial Spirit Divine Entity.
Now, the original vital energy in Chen Jianzhou’s body was gradually being replaced by the divine power of wood.
“Younger master, the Chen family has surrendered,” suddenly, Fuyun’s voice echoed in Chen Xiao’s mind.
“Surrendered? It must be Chen Xuantong who revealed my identity to the Chen family’s upper echelons.” Chen Xiao nodded. “Fuyun, you did very well this time.”
Hearing Chen Xiao’s words, Fuyun also smiled.

“Lord Ao Yi, your master behind you…” In front of Fu Yun stood a middle-aged man who appeared to be in his thirties but had white hair. He looked at Fu Yun with slight trepidation.
“You must already be aware of the identity of my master.” Fu Yun used his true name, Ao Yi, at this moment. “As long as your Chen family is willing to surrender and submit, my master will not refuse.”
Hearing Fu Yun’s words, the white-haired man finally breathed a sigh of relief. This white-haired man was the strongest member of the Chen family—a martial artist at the seventh level of the Domain realm.
