Chapter 476 - Imperial City Shaken

Chapter 476 - Imperial City Shaken

Nangong Yue had come.

Just when Chen Fan was about to settle scores with Nangong Xuan, Nangong Ling, and the others, she had come, forcing Chen Fan to take a pause.

“Mother!”

“Yue... Yue’er!” Chen Zhengqing became visibly agitated as Nangong Yue approached, trembling.

It has been twenty years. He and Nangong Yue had been forcibly separated for two decades; today, he finally laid eyes on the person he had longed for day and night.

Likewise, Nangong Yue was overwhelmed upon seeing Chen Zhengqing. Her emotions surged.

“Zhengqing...”

Tears streamed down her cheeks. For twenty years, she had never ceased thinking about her husband and child.

She met Chen Fan over a year ago when he came to the imperial city under an alias. However, that wasn’t a full reunion, as Chen Zhengqing was missing.

Now, the family of three was finally together again in the Qin Clan mansion.

“Yue’er!” Chen Zhengqing moved swiftly, sweeping Nangong Yue into his embrace.

“I’m sorry, Yue’er. I’m late. I’m useless. I made you wait for two decades...”

“Zhengqing, as long as you and Xiaofan are safe and sound, I'm content.”

Seeing his parents embrace, Chen Fan felt his heart soften and his nose turn sour.

For some reason, Qin Yao surfaced in his mind. She left three years ago, and he had no knowledge of her current whereabouts.

Chen Fan clenched his fists.

Great Jin Imperial Court...

One day, he would bring Qin Yao back—without a doubt.

Soon, Senior Sister. Just wait for me. I’ll head to the Great Jin Imperial Court to find you very soon. No one can stop me. No one! Chen Fan thought resolutely.

“Xiaoyue, I’ve made mistakes. It’s my fault, but everything I did was for the clan. It’s all for the clan...” Nangong Xuan wept as he saw Nangong Yue, hoping she would plead on his behalf.

He knew that the Nangong Clan’s fate hinged on a single thought from Chen Fan, and only Nangong Yue could influence that.

Nangong Yue looked at Nangong Xuan and the others with a complicated expression. She sighed, looked at Chen Fan, and said, “Forget it, Xiaofan. It’s all in the past. Spare the grand elder and the others this once for my sake.”

“Fine, I can spare this old coot, but Nangong Ling and Nangong Tong must be punished for their sins!” Chen Fan said coldly.

“Who would have thought that the illustrious Qin Clan would fall apart today, plummeting from the clouds into the abyss overnight?”

“I’m afraid the Qin Clan’s troubles have only just begun. Over all these years, they bullied and suppressed numerous artists and clans. Now that they’re in decline, it would be surprising if those people didn’t seek revenge.”

“Hehe, I know, right? They used to have more than twenty Core Formation realm experts, but Chen Fan killed most of them, leaving only a few old and weak ones. The Qin Clan has completely collapsed.”

“You can’t put it that way, either. A starved camel is still bigger than a horse. They could establish a foothold in the imperial city by relying on these old and weak Core Formation realm experts, though they would fall from the top prestigious clan to a third-rate one.”

“What a pity. The Qin Clan’s thousand years’ worth of wealth would all go to Chen Fan.”

“......”

The crowd sighed.

The Qin Clan had lost everything, including their mansion. They had to leave within three days without taking even a single brick or tile. How cruel was that?

Chen Fan’s trophy was all their treasures and wealth. The Qin Clan members would probably vomit blood in frustration.

If they could bring their fortune with them, they might still have a chance to rise again in the future with those resources.

However, that single sentence from Chen Fan erased all possibilities of the Qin Clan's resurgence.

Even so, the Qin Clan could only gnash their teeth and swallow their indignity.

Now, they had no right to speak, much less the power to resist.

Resist?

Disagree?

That would be courting death!

Chen Fan’s ferocity when he slaughtered their people was still deeply engraved in their minds. He wasn’t merciful or soft-hearted. Resistance meant death.

Meanwhile, the regret in Nangong Xuan’s eyes grew even thicker when he heard this.

If only he had stood on Chen Fan’s side, the Nangong Clan could have used this opportunity to soar to the skies and have a taste of being the number one prestigious clan of the imperial city.

However, a single misstep led to a cascade of mistakes.

The Qin Clan had completely fallen from grace, and the Nangong Clan that stood by its side would also decline from today onward.

Except for the Moon Bloodline, the other bloodlines’ Core Formation realm experts had all been dealt with. Chen Fan showed no mercy.

Aside from Nangong Baxiong and the other three, the number of Core Formation realm experts still alive in the other bloodlines could be counted on one hand.
