Eternal Beast Taming Family

Chapter 269 Family or Enemy Meeting

Chu Jingyu slowly stepped into the hall, and the people behind him followed suit.

The other guests noticed that the others were only at the Spirit Rank, and they pondered how to deal with Chu Huanlou.

However, upon seeing Chu Jingyu's appearance, Chu Jingxuan in the hall displayed an incredulous expression, and his fingers trembled slightly with excitement.

"Chu Huanlou, what a Chu Huanlou... I should have thought of that sooner."

Passing through the many guests, Chu Jingyu's gaze met Chu Jingxuan's from afar.

At this moment, time seemed to have shifted, returning to the time when the two were young and impetuous. However, all their brotherhood had been destroyed by the burning of the Chu family mansion and the repeated pursuits outside the city.

Standing here now are an old man corrupted by the power of the Chu family, and the new head of the Chu family who has returned to seek revenge.

Looking at Chu Jingyu's face, which was much younger than his own, and the several young faces behind him that looked somewhat familiar,

Chu Jingxuan suddenly felt a little panicked. He realized that everything today seemed to be planned by Chu Jingyu for a long time. Although he didn't know what Chu Jingyu's purpose was, it was definitely not good news for the Chu family.

Moreover, this banquet was very likely a trap set up for the Chu family.

His mind raced, and he gave a low shout to the young men who had come with him, "Come with me."

Several younger colleagues who had followed were startled by Chu Jingxuan's somewhat serious tone. They didn't know why he was suddenly leaving, but they didn't slow down and immediately got up and followed behind Chu Jingxuan.

Instead of heading towards the entrance of the hall, where Chu Jingyu was, Chu Jingxuan looked directly at a window to the side and lifted his feet into the air, about to leave through the window.

Chu Jingyu, who had been observing his movements, immediately understood his intention and said calmly:

"Brother, we haven't seen each other for years, and now that we're finally in the same place, you're leaving already? Isn't that a bit disrespectful to your younger brother?"

As Chu Jingyu spoke, Chu Shengyuan arrived at the window even faster. Behind him, the phantom of a python appeared, seemingly about to solidify into a physical form at any moment.

Chu Jingxuan looked at Chu Shengyuan, whose cultivation level was no weaker than his own, then turned around with a cold gaze, facing Chu Jingyu.

"What a brilliant tactic! I never imagined that the banquet I, Chu Jingxuan, attended would be a trap."

When the former brothers met again, there was no warmth whatsoever; their eyes held only a cold indifference, as if they wanted nothing more than to kill each other.

The surrounding guests were somewhat bewildered by this magical turn of events, except for a few older guests who seemed to recall something and whose eyes revealed understanding.

However, with great tacit understanding, the guests stepped back towards the perimeter, leaving the central space of the hall to Chu Jingxuan and Chu Jingyu's groups.

Chu Jingyu spoke softly, "It's been so long since we last met, brother. You seem to have aged faster than I expected. Could it be that you're burdened by too much worry at home?"

Chu Jingxuan was unfazed by Chu Jingyu's words, and instead spoke with a cold laugh.

"After all these years, you've only reached the mid-level Spirit Rank. You still look like such a waste."

As soon as he said that, Chu Qinhui behind Chu Jingyu and Chu Shengyuan by the window made a move at the same time.

Behind Chu Qinhui, a wolf-shaped source beast with two wings flapped slightly, and a gust of wind carrying a sharp blade rushed forward.

Beside Chu Jingyu, a phantom giant python materialized, and many vines sprouted from the wooden floor, lashing out like whips.

Chu Jingxuan seemed to have anticipated their attack. After standing up, the golden-armored giant reappeared, his hands gripping a huge cleaver. With each swing of his blade, he deflected all the surrounding vines and wind blades.

Chu Jingyu then slightly raised his hand, "Stop."

This stopped Chu Qinhui and Chu Shengyuan from continuing their attack.

He nodded slightly to Nan Li, then smiled and looked at Chu Jingxuan, who had a golden-armored giant standing behind him.

"Big brother said I'm a piece of trash? It's a pity I'm no longer young, and I won't believe your deliberate words of suppression. The only way you can advance faster is by consuming more resources to accumulate them."

And what about me? I was still young when I had to lead a hunting party to the wild to gather resources for my family.

"I never imagined that after all these years, you would still have wasted those resources and never truly stepped into the Domain Rank. It seems you're the one who's wasted your time."

After saying this, Chu Jingxuan's face turned pale.

The smell of gunpowder in the air grew stronger, and some of the onlookers who didn't want to get so close to watch the spectacle were about to leave through the exit behind Chu Jingyu.

Seeing their actions, Chu Jingyu spoke again:

"Please wait a moment, everyone. We haven't even had our meal yet, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

Chu Jingyu's tone was inscrutable, and these small forces hesitated and remained where they were.

Chu Jingxuan seized the opportunity and spoke up, "You're really quite powerful now. All the major and minor forces in Chuyan City will depend on you for survival in the future."

Those in the small faction thought to themselves, "It seems that neither of you brothers is a good person; you're both the kind of bad people who threaten others at the drop of a hat."

However, they dared not speak out against it. The Chu family had the backing of seventh-rank celebrities from other cities, and the young woman from the newly arrived Chu family seemed to be a Domain Rank expert, so she was also not to be trifled with.

So for now, we can only stand here and watch the two sides fight it out.

Upon hearing Chu Jingxuan's claim of forming cliques, Chu Jingyu shook his head slightly and looked towards the window where Chu Shengyuan was standing.

"Chu Jingxuan, look, it's on fire again. Doesn't it look like that fire from back then, the one that even torrential rain couldn't extinguish?"

Through that window, raging flames rose from a corner of Chuyan City, and the towering pillars of fire were clearly visible from Chuhuan Tower in the city center.

A young man behind Chu Jingxuan spoke in a hoarse voice, his tone unusually panicked, "Grandfather, that seems to be the direction of our home."

Even without the young man's reminder, Chu Jingxuan knew that was the location of the Chu family's ancestral home.

He strode towards Chu Jingyu, demanding, "You dare to make a move in Chuyan City? Aren't you afraid of the dynasty's punishment?"

Nan Li, standing behind Chu Jingyu, slightly raised her hand, and a bright wall of fire appeared in front of Chu Jingxuan, stopping him from taking any further steps.

"This is a family matter, how could the dynasty interfere?" Chu Jingyu answered with unusual ease, but there was a deep sadness in his eyes.

Chu Jingxuan gave Nan Li behind Chu Jingyu a deep look, then took out a green feather from his pocket.

The blue feathers rose without wind and transformed into a bluebird with a long neck and elegant posture.

With a slight flap of its wings, the surrounding space seemed to ripple, and in the blink of an eye, Chu Jingxuan appeared outside Chu Huanlou with several young men behind him.

The large blue bird flapped its wings again, and the blue Geng wind carried them towards the Chu family's residence.

Is this a magical item left by the Fang family to protect Chu Jingxuan's life? Chu Jingyu's gaze revealed a hint of speculation.

He spoke softly, "Let's go, let's go see. This grudge has lasted for years, but today is the day of our return."
