I Am Born With A Sliver Spoon

Chapter 772

“You’re going to be dead, and still you’re this insolent?” shouted the lackey, who then froze in an instant when he saw flames in Chen Hao’s eyes. The flames seemed so enticing, but his own feet started to burn, and he barely had time to scream before he immediately turned into ashes.

“This is how insignificant the life of a nobody is.” Chen Hao shook his head and smiled faintly, his hands behind his back as he turned into a strong gust of wind that disappeared from where he stood, and headed straight for the cave.

At the entrance of the cave, Chen Hao assassinated anyone and everyone who engaged with him. Like he said, these people were nobodies to him. He didn’t care which Chen family they came from—as long as anyone wished him harm or harbored any ill will toward him, he must die!

Whoosh! Meanwhile, in the middle of the prison, everyone was deeply shocked to see so many experts being killed just like that. Just then, the gust of wind transformed into a figure who stood among the prisoners. “Chen Hao!” Wan Xue recognized him immediately, and called out his name right then and there.

It might not have been obvious, but what Wan Xue had just experienced truly shook her to her core. She’d really thought she was going to be raped by the Daoists, and now she was captured by these horrible men. One could only imagine how she felt when she saw Chen Hao again.

“You’re okay now!” Chen Hao said simply, and unlocked everyone’s chains with a snap of his fingers— including the three masked men who’d just saved Wan Xue, as well as a group of Daoist elders.

What Chen Hao didn’t expect to see was a group of perfectly ordinary, petrified girls in the farthest corner. It seemed that the disappearances of these girls in the last few days had been the doing of these false Daoists. How could members of this Chen family be so immoral and despicable? Rage flashed through Chen Hao’s eyes.

Quickly, the prisoners walked outside as if a weight had been lifted off their shoulders. The leading Daoist elder bowed down to him in respect. “You have saved us all, kind sir. Allow me, a humble Daoist, to thank you,” said the elderly man, who was almost in tears.

“You’re welcome, master. I was going to ask you about someone!”

“Oh? Who is it you’re looking for?” the elder asked.

“I’m looking for Master Ghost, who is currently hiding on this mountain. Have you seen him among the prisoners?” Chen Hao asked curiously.

“Master, could he be the Master Chen Hao that Master Ghost spoke of?” asked a middle-aged man, looking to the elder with respect.

“I am!” Chen Hao nodded. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“I see. Master Ghost had mentioned that you were an immensely talented fellow, and now that I have witnessed your prowess, I see nothing false with his words. Master Chen Hao, Master Ghost is indeed hiding in Xuanyang Mountain to evade your family, but we had never expected him to be captured anyway! Master Ghost has been taken away by Chen Haotian, so he is not with us,” the elder explained.

“What do they want with Master Ghost?” Chen Hao asked.

“I don’t know, but he had put his hopes in you before this disaster fell upon him, and you’re his only salvation from it!” the elder replied hastily.

“Alright, I understand!” Chen Hao nodded.

“Thank you for saving us, kind sir! I’m Yun Haotian!” The middle-aged leader of the masked men came forward to thank Chen Hao.

“Disciple Haotian, you’re here!” the elder called out. It seemed they knew each other.

“Yes, we came as soon as we could after receiving your distress signal in Xuanyang Mountain, but we didn’t foresee that this Chen Haotian would become so strong after just a few decades. I was not powerful enough to stop him unless I mobilized the guy in the Dragon Zone. If not, I wouldn’t have been able to defend myself against these people. However, I slipped up and got caught while rescuing this young lady!” Yun Haotian replied.

He was shocked when he saw that Chen Hao was quite charismatic with a mysterious, unpredictable fighting prowess. He had never heard of such a man before, and felt nothing but respect toward Chen Hao. Yun Haotian was about to continue conversation when a young Daoist ran back in after being sent to scout the surroundings.

“Masters! We’re in trouble! They’re closing in!” he said nervously.

“Ah!” The captured girls hugged each other fearfully, clearly traumatized from their stay here.

“Fear not, follow me!” Chen Hao said curtly, and strode out to see the place surrounded by Daoists of all ages and skill levels.

The middle-aged leader of the Daoists froze, but put on a gleeful expression and laughed soon after. “Haha! I see that I’ve been led on a wild goose chase when you were right under my nose this whole time! I’ve found one of the escaped Chen family members.” Evidently, he had recognized Chen Hao on sight. “You’re Chen Hao from the Chen family in Nanyang, aren’t you?” he asked.

“Yes. And you are?” Chen Hao nodded.

“Hmph, we’ve been looking for you all over the place, and we were wondering how you could possibly cover your tracks so well even though we used the Sun Totem! Remember the name of your captor, boy: I am Chen Lianhu!” The man smiled coldly.

“The Sun Totem? I’ve seen it before! Does it have a tracking function as well?” Chen Hao asked.

“I’d sooner spit on you than answer! Why would a lowly piece of trash like you have seen the true Sun Totem?” Chen Lianhu said.

“It looks like my family has really been captured by yours. I don’t understand! According to my leads, we’re technically distant relatives under the same clan surname. Why are you turning against us like this?” Chen Hao asked curiously. To be honest, he still couldn’t believe why such an illogical thing was happening.

“This is because unforeseen circumstances have pushed our fates in a direction that wasn’t intended by the heavens, and this undesirable direction has left all of you worthless in our eyes. We might as well kill all of you before you mess up our big plan!” Chen Lianhu mocked.

“Does that mean the grandfather I had always respected is behind all of this? He’s been using us this whole time?” Chen Hao asked.

“Hahaha, what can I say? Your lowly family had always been good-for-nothing! Furthermore, don’t you dare say that we are distant relatives! We have always been ashamed of your family, but now, your lowly family is about to be wiped out by us!” Chen Lianhu laughed maniacally.

“And what have you done to my family?” A strong murderous intent flashed across Chen Hao’s eyes.

“Hahaha! That Chen Jindong was already near death after all the torture he went through by the time I came out here. Who knows whether he’s still alive?” Chen Lianhu laughed loudly.

“Very well then!” Chen Hao nodded coldly.

“Ha! Am I hearing things correctly? Are you applauding the torture of your own father?” Chen Lianhu looked at Chen Hao as if he were an idiot.

“You have misunderstood me. I said ‘very well’ not because of how you treated my father, but because your words have cleared all of my concerns. Now, I can kill all of you without any hesitation or mercy. You hear me? I’ll kill each and every one of you!”
