High Martial Arts: Invincible Starts from Basic Archery Chapter 805 - 623: Are You Talking About Him?

The pair was startled and promptly inquired.

"I'd like you both to assist me in scouting the locations of the Fierce Beasts."

Gazing far off, Chen Fan declared, "Now we seize the upper hand and utterly eliminate these Fierce Beasts."

His statement landed, stirring waves of feeling in the Thunder Emperor and his companion.

Absolutely.

Without the Elder Council's support, just the duo alone might not hold back the Fierce Beasts' assault—it remained uncertain.

Things shifted entirely with Chen Fan present.

Whether facing four Beast Emperor Level Fierce Beasts or a dozen, the Fierce Beasts' doom stayed inevitable.

"Fine."

The Thunder Emperor agreed without hesitation, "Still, stay alert during your journey and avoid any recklessness."

...

Xu Family.

A handful of the Xu Family's key figures assembled.

Xu Hu led the group, his expression glowing as he addressed those before him, "Starting today, Yan Country has no Awakened Association left. Our Noble Families dictated terms in the past, and we'll keep ruling in the days ahead."

The others were aware their family elder had headed to the Su Family to confront the Thunder Emperor, and this news sparked wild thrill in each of them.

"About time too—those Awakened Association folks always acted so superior, ignoring us completely, particularly that pair."

"On that note, the Thunder Emperor probably never imagined the Ice Emperor turning against him, huh? Honestly, I'd love to witness his face when the truth hits him."

"Hahaha, it'll be priceless."

Boisterous chuckles filled the air.

Xu Hu joined in the robust laughter.

"Dad, I've got one worry." A middle-aged man voiced up then.

"If the Ice Emperor seizes the Awakened Association and bolsters the Su Family's strength once more, what if they flip on us and target the rest of the families?"

His words dropped, silencing the room at once.

Grins vanished from their faces bit by bit.

True enough, as the proverb warns, no one tolerates threats sleeping right next to their bed.

Put in their shoes, with power clearly outweighing rivals, they'd push for more dominance too—forget the Su Family.

"That's a fair point."

Xu Hu's features grew grave.

"Heard of Gong Bo and Yu Jianqiao?"

"Gong Bo? Yu Jianqiao?"

"The pair of Awakeners the Awakened Association hunted down?"

"Didn't the Awakened Association snag them already? Word just came out days back that a young Chen fellow caught them."

"Dad, are you suggesting?"

"The Su Family actually groomed those two." Xu Hu drew in a sharp breath before revealing.

"What!"

"No way!"

The group gaped, inwardly stunned beyond measure.

"This is rock-solid info—Su Ming admitted it right in front of us all. He raised them for one clear reason: to keep the other families in check."

They exchanged glances.

"Dad, but with those two nabbed by the Awakened Association, aren't they finished now?"

"Exactly."

Xu Hu dipped his head, "Thinking back, that Chen kid wrecked the Su Family's plot, shattering their long-term efforts in a single night."

This eased their tension noticeably.

Truth be told, had those two stuck with the Su Family, the Xu Family—already weaker—would've faced an even grimmer outlook.

"Hold off on celebrating."

Xu Hu eyed them sternly, "The Su Family's drive to crush us persists. Dead or not, Gong Bo and Yu Jianqiao won't stop them from training up a Zhang Bo or Li Jianqiao next. Plus, post this mess, the Awakened Association falls squarely under Su control, simplifying the hunt for gifted Awakeners like that."

"Grandpa, so what's our move?"

Panic gripped the bunch.

Right, soon the whole Awakened Association would bow to the Ice Emperor's full command.

Their position looked bleak indeed.

"We prepare ahead, naturally."

Xu Hu narrowed his gaze and stated, "I've quietly reached out to the other three families already. When the moment comes, we'll band together against the Su Family."

"?"

Right then, a silhouette emerged in the chamber.

One person jolted up from their seat in terror.

"Who're you? Who allowed you inside! Out!"

A shout rang at Chen Fan.

Just Xu Hu displayed shock across his visage.

He spotted instantly the intruder was the very Chen Fan they'd discussed!

At once, tremors seized his frame.

He understood full well he stood no chance against Chen Fan—only the family elder in the Divine Cultivation Realm could match him.

Worst of all, that Divine Cultivation Realm elder had left for the Su Family, absent from home now.

Meaning, nobody in the family could halt him presently.

"Bang!"

A thunderous crash.

The furious speaker slammed into the wall with force. Bones cracked apart, sealing his fate clearly.

"Third brother!"

"You dare slay our kin!"

Rage blazed in the survivors, who lunged at Chen Fan without delay.

Xu Hu clenched his jaw and slipped quietly toward the back.

Anyone could guess Chen Fan's purpose; lingering spelled doom. The Secret Realm offered no refuge either—better rush to the Su Family and alert the elder.

Yet abruptly, motion froze for him, like some Body-Stabilizing Technique struck, leaving him to stare as Chen Fan drew near.

"Mercy, don't end me."

He begged, "Name your price, I'll hand it over—just spare my life."

"Oh?"

Chen Fan curved his lips slightly, "Suppose I demand your Xu Family's Supreme-level Martial Arts, or even Divine Demon-level ones?"

"Those I can provide, yes I can." Xu Hu rushed out, "Supreme-level Martial Arts fall under my say, but Divine Demon-level ones rest with our family elder, needing their okay."

"You mean this one?"

Chen Fan brushed his Spatial Ring.

A body dropped to the ground.

"?"

Xu Hu froze in disbelief.

Then his eyes bulged, on the verge of popping.

"Elder? Impossible! No, it can't be!"

He muttered the denial over and over, like madness took hold.

"You're lying! You staged this with a fake to mimic my family elder. It won't work on me!"

Chen Fan only smirked in silence.

True to form, Xu Hu spiraled deeper into frenzy.

"This is a trick, yeah?"

"That's not my family elder, is it?"

"A Divine Cultivation Realm powerhouse wouldn't fall so simply!"

"Tell me! Why stay quiet?"

Finally, doubt eroded Xu Hu's resolve.

Beyond the elder's reclusive life barring any encounter with Chen Fan, the attire and trinkets—if forged—pointed to the elder's likely demise.

"You've pieced it together, so why make me spell it out? Here's some positive news: the Su Family vanished ten minutes back, sparing your families their threats."

"What?"

Xu Hu's astonishment peaked.

The Su Family gone?

Impossible.

Besides their own ranks, the Su Family hosted elders from all four families, including theirs.

With such forces, betrayal from every side alone could spell disaster—nothing less.

"The grim part: I took out your family elders too. Soon, your families join the list of the extinct."

"No, lies!"

Xu Hu bellowed.

He'd never accept, even under torture, that their elder perished by Chen Fan's hand. "Don't worry—folks from the other families will reunite with you shortly."

Chen Fan wrapped up, then crushed the foe's heart meridians outright, heading next to the Xu Family's Secret Realm site.
