Zhang Feiyu didn't recognize Chen Xia.
After all, Chen Xia had changed too much, his aura was not revealed, and he was wearing a straw hat to cover up, so it was normal that he couldn't recognize him.
But he recognized Wang Yangzi!
What kind of existence is Wang Yangzi?
He is an existence that is high above the upper realm, on good terms with Chen Zu, has the title of Dan Saint, and is even a saint who can single-handedly overwhelm the entire middle realm!
And now Zhang's prodigy actually dared to point at Wang Yangzi's nose and curse, and wanted to catch Wang Yangzi alive?
Zhang Feiyu's face was blank, and he didn't even know what to say. Could it be that today is the day of Zhang's destruction?
"Master, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Guang looked at Zhang Feiyu, who had been unresponsive for a long time, and asked in puzzlement.
Zhang Feiyu's body trembled, he turned his head blankly to look at him, took a deep breath, and asked again.
"Zhang Guang, the Zhang family has not treated you badly. Why do you do such ungrateful things? Did I do something wrong?"
Zhang Feiyu's retort made Zhang Guang completely confused, not knowing how to answer, stammering:
"No... Master, the clan has treated me well. It's just that these two people really don't know the rules, so I just..."
"Shut up!" Zhang Feiyu suddenly shouted, then suddenly turned around and slapped himself in the face, revealing a flushed slap mark, and respectfully said to Wang Yangzi:
"The Zhang family's discipline is not strict, offending Senior Wang. It is the Zhang family's fault. Feiyu hereby apologizes to Senior Wang and is willing to give compensation. Please forgive me, senior!"
The cultivators on the side were completely dumbfounded.
Zhang Guang's face was blank, staring blankly at Wang Yangzi, and really couldn't figure out what ability this old man had to make the Zhang family bow their heads!
Zhang Nianming was excitedly looking at Chen Xia next to Wang Yangzi, thinking that since Chen Ye could stand with such a powerful existence, he must also be a hidden great master!
"What compensation do you plan to give?" Wang Yangzi chuckled and asked.
Zhang Feiyu lowered his head, his face embarrassed. He didn't know what compensation would satisfy a saint, probably even if he gave away the entire Zhang family, it wouldn't satisfy Wang Yangzi.
After all, this is a saint!
Zhang Feiyu's body trembled slightly, "What the Zhang family has, senior can ask, Feiyu will never go back on his word, and hopes that the senior will forgive me for Chen Zu's sake, and not get angry."
This time he was really exceptionally serious, even citing Chen Xia's name. This was the first time in four thousand years that Zhang Feiyu had given Chen Xia's name.
Wang Yangzi's face was strange, he patted Chen Xia on the shoulder next to him, and laughed:
"Guess who he is?"
Zhang Feiyu looked up in puzzlement, only to see a very old face appearing under the straw hat, looking very familiar.
After all, he had been in contact with Chen Xia for a long time. Zhang Feiyu recognized him at once, and even his hands began to tremble. His pupils widened to the extreme, and he spoke excitedly. He knelt directly on the ground and knocked heavily on the ground with a bang, then stammered:
"Chen Zu!"
After this cry, it was silent around.
The surrounding kneeling cultivators had horrified expressions on their faces, and couldn't help but look back at Chen Xia. If they didn't hear wrong, didn't Zhang Feiyu, the deputy head of the Zhang family, just shout Chen Zu?
Being able to make Zhang Feiyu shout Chen Zu, this person must be the mysterious patriarch of the Zhang family.
Does it mean that this old man who has been selling wine in the wine shop for hundreds of years is the legendary Zhang Chen Zu?!
Nonsense!
What a fantasy twist!
Zhang Guang was completely stunned, his head blanked on the spot, and even wisps of white smoke came out, almost burning his head.
Zhang Nianming didn't dare to believe it, looking at Chen Xia in a daze, murmuring:
"Chen Ye turned out to be Chen Zu, this...how is this possible?"
Chen Xia lightly pressed the straw hat, smiled at Zhang Feiyu kneeling on the ground, and said lightly:
"Feiyu, four thousand years have passed since we last met, time really flies. In my memory, you were still the timid little cultivator who followed me back then. I didn't expect that now you can also hold up a side on your own...
Time is really a wonderful thing."
Zhang Feiyu's body trembled, his words already choked with sobs, excitedly said:
"Feiyu has been missing Chen Zu for four thousand years, and has always wanted to manage the Zhang family better to earn your approval. But today Zhang's prodigy has offended you, Feiyu really can't face you anymore."
He suddenly got up, spiritual energy gleaming in his hand, his expression angry, staring at Zhang Guang, gritting his teeth and saying:
"Today Feiyu will kill this scum to give you an explanation!"
For Zhang Feiyu, Chen Xia is the god of the entire Zhang family, the most respected and revered existence, and no one can insult Chen Xia in front of him.
And now Zhang's prodigy has actually insulted the god of the Zhang family, which made him sad and indignant, and more unable to face Chen Xia. The only way out was to kill Zhang Guang to make himself feel better.
Chen Xia remained silent, just watching calmly.
Wang Yangzi looked interested, took a gourd of spirit wine to liven things up.
Zhang Guang's face was blank, and soon turned to fear. Seeing Zhang Feiyu's angry appearance, he quickly said:
"Master, I admit my mistake, I admit my mistake, don't do it, I know I was wrong!"
"Blind thing!" Zhang Feiyu shouted angrily, and all the power at the peak of the Falling Sea Realm gushed out. Spiritual energy gleamed in his hand and blasted towards Zhang Guang.
Zhang Guang naturally did not dare to fight back, and could only try his best to resist while fleeing backwards extremely fast.
Zhang Feiyu chased and killed, every move fatal, determined to kill this family traitor, in order to obtain Chen Zu's understanding.
Zhang Guang desperately fled, never expecting that Zhang Feiyu would be so ruthless as to try to kill him, the number one prodigy of the Zhang family!
The two fought in the sky, spiritual energy constantly shaking.
Zhang Feiyu had the advantage in realm, so his strength was naturally stronger. Adding to Zhang Guang not daring to fight back, Zhang Feiyu soon gained the upper hand, beating Zhang Guang down from the sky, and chased after him. His supernatural powers emerged, turning into golden spikes that were about to pierce Zhang Guang's chest.
"Master, spare me, master!" Zhang Guang still begged for mercy.
The golden spikes had already pierced his chest, splashing blood out, spilling onto the mountains and rivers.
Zhang Guang's face was blank, never expecting that he would die like this.
The void of heaven and earth suddenly shook.
Gray and white colors filled hundreds of miles, slowing down everything until it stopped.
Wang Yangzi fed himself a peanut, chuckled while looking at Chen Xia next to him, shook his head and said:
"Compared to before, you seem to have a little more human touch, maybe you really are getting old."
"Who knows?" Chen Xia asked back with a smile, then snapped his fingers.
Things within a hundred miles began to reverse.
The golden spikes withdrew, the splashing blood returned along the original path back into Zhang Guang's body.
The two had at most the strength at the peak of the Falling Sea Realm, completely under Chen Xia's control, totally at his mercy.
The gray and white colors brought the two back in reverse, like a video rewind.
Until the two stopped in front of Chen Xia, just like at the very beginning.
The gray and white colors dissipated.
Zhang Feiyu's face was slightly startled, looking at Zhang Guang in confusion, always feeling that he had killed him, but now he was not dead.
"After four thousand years, today's Zhang family makes me..."
Chen Xia's tone paused for a moment, and continued expressionlessly:
"Very disappointed."

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.

young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
