Chapter 347 Wang Wu's Fear
Chapter 347 Wang Wu's Fear
A look of immense fear flashed across Wang Wu's face, and his voice trembled: "Patriarch, we must never provoke Chenjia Village in Taiping County!"
Seeing the unusual expression on Wang Wu's face, Wang Wenshu couldn't help but frown. Wang Wu was not a coward. Because of his extraordinary talent since childhood, Wang Wu made great progress in martial arts. It could be said that he had no rivals in the entire Wang family, which fostered his fearless personality.
At least in the land of Taicang County, Wang Wu never felt fear towards anyone or anything.
however……
At this moment, when Wang Wu of Chenjia Village was mentioned, it was as if he had encountered some terrible event. His face was full of fear, and his pupils were trembling. This made Wang Wenshu even more curious about what Wang Wu had experienced in Chenjia Village.
"What exactly did you encounter in Chenjia Village?" Wang Wenshu asked in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, Wang Wu remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking: "By order of the patriarch, Wang Zhuang, Wang Nian, and I went to Taiping County and successfully found out information related to Chen Dao. Then, following the patriarch's instructions, we planned to infiltrate Chenjia Village and take Chen Dao's head."
At this point, Wang Wu's pupils trembled violently, as if recalling the terrifying incident that night: "We successfully infiltrated Chenjia Village, but just then, an accident occurred."
Wang Wenshu's expression turned serious; he knew the main event was about to begin.
Wang Wu continued, "We had just entered Chenjia Village when a rooster crowed, and then Wangzhuang was attacked by a rooster."
"A chicken?"
Wang Wenshu's expression immediately became very strange. Wang Zhuang was a sixth-grade peak martial artist. Let alone one chicken, even if a hundred chickens came, they couldn't hurt him, right?
"Yes, it's a chicken."
A look of apprehension flashed across Wang Wu's face: "That was a chicken with blood-red feathers, as tall as half a person. With just one attack, it caused Wang Zhuang to suffer serious injuries."
"..."
Wang Wenshu opened his mouth, momentarily dumbfounded. A chicken half the height of a person, and capable of injuring Wangzhuang with a single attack—how could there be such a powerful chicken in the world?
"After Wang Zhuang was injured, we realized what was happening and tried to join forces to kill the chicken, however..."
Wang Wu's mind flashed back to the Fire-Patterned Chickens that surrounded them in Chenjia Village: "There are not just one of these terrifying chickens in Chenjia Village, but a total of ten, and each one is exceptionally powerful, far surpassing a sixth-rank martial artist! Under their siege, Wang Zhuang and Wang Nian were quickly seriously injured, and even with the use of Blood Explosion, they were still unable to escape."
As for me…
Wang Wu smiled bitterly: "The patriarch also saw my fate. I barely escaped Chenjia Village only after using the Blood Explosion technique."
Wang Wu knew very well that after using the Blood Explosion technique, he would probably never make any further progress in martial arts, and might even... his cultivation level might drop, turning him into an ordinary person.
"This……"
Wang Wenshu was dumbfounded and couldn't help but ask, "Is Chenjia Village really that terrifying?"
"Yes."
Wang Wu nodded solemnly: "Patriarch, Chen Family Village is extremely strange. I do not recommend that we continue to be hostile to Chen Family Village."
"Well."
Wang Wenshu's face darkened as he pondered. Chen Dao had caused the Wang family heavy losses, first crippling his son and then killing so many high-level martial artists in the Wang family. It was clearly not an easy task to get him to give up his hatred for Chen Dao.
but……
The key to the Wang family, or rather the vast majority of families in the Xia Kingdom, being able to survive for hundreds or even thousands of years lies in their ability to adapt to changing circumstances.
When they are provoked by the weak, they will become enraged and choose to fight to the death.
However, when they discover that the one who provoked them is a powerful enemy, their bodies become extremely flexible.
Previously, Wang Wenshu regarded Chen Dao as a weakling, so even though Chen Dao had left the county town, he still chose to send people to Taiping County to hunt him down.
At this time, after realizing the power of Chen Dao and Chenjia Village, Wang Wenshu also began to consider giving up the idea of revenge.
To be fair, he and Chen Dao didn't have any irreconcilable hatred; it was just that he had crippled an illegitimate son...
"You should take good care of your injuries."
Having made up his mind, Wang Wenshu comforted Wang Wu, saying, "The clan will do its best to find medicinal herbs to heal your damaged meridians."
"Thank you, Master."
Wang Wu thanked them verbally, but felt bitter inside. The medicinal herbs used to repair meridians were all priceless, and even with the Wang family's power, it would be difficult to collect them.
It's no exaggeration to say that the cost of repairing a martial artist's damaged meridians is greater than the cost of training a sixth-grade martial artist again. Wang Wu doesn't think the Wang family would be willing to pay such a high price to repair his meridians.

The next day.
At the south gate of the prefecture city, a banner bearing the character "Zheng" emerged from the gate and headed north.
Zheng Qiuyan sat inside the carriage, lifting a corner of the window, and observed the woods along the official road with a serious expression.
Recently, the Taishan bandits have been causing trouble outside the city, and it seems they have their eyes on the Zheng family's caravan, specifically targeting and robbing it. Zheng Qiuyan is very worried that her team will be attacked by the Taishan bandits.
Fortunately, perhaps the bandits were wary of the caravan's security, or perhaps they were wary of the Zheng family, the forest was calm and no bandits appeared.
What Zheng Qiuyan didn't know was that after her team left, in the place where the caravan had just passed, the leaves on a big tree trembled slightly, and two figures fell down.
“Zheng Qing’s daughter is truly beautiful.”
One of the two men, a short, fat man with a lewd expression, said with a lewd grin, "If I could strip him naked and throw him on the bed to ravage him, that would be an extremely wonderful thing."
The fleeting glimpse Zheng Qiuyan gave when she opened the car window had already captivated the short, stout man. Her beautiful face and supple figure made his lower abdomen burn with desire, and he longed to tie her up, throw her on the bed, and ravage her.
"No!"
The tall, thin man next to the short, stout man shook his head. He was Wang Taishan, the leader of the Taishan bandits, while the short, stout man was Wu Dalang, the second-in-command of the Taishan bandits.
Wu Dalang was extremely lecherous. Whenever he saw a beautiful woman, he would try every means to tie her to his bed.
Wang Taishan had no objection to this. As a bandit from Taishan, being lecherous was not a flaw, and he would not stop Wu Dalang from forcibly taking women.
This time, however, when Wu Dalang wanted to take action, he was stopped by Wang Taishan, and the reason was quite simple.
The reason why the Taishan bandits were able to grow so powerful was because of the help of the Wang family. Without the help of the Wang family, the Taishan bandits would probably have been wiped out by the prefect long ago.
