The gazes of the crowd were filled with fear upon hearing this.
Facing a Martial Master, these people had no chance of victory whatsoever.
Suddenly, Chen Mo moved.
He launched a punch directly towards Ouyang Zhengde's forehead.
Ouyang Zhengde was startled.
He wanted to dodge, but kneeling on the ground, he had nowhere to escape.
Before the fist even landed on Ouyang Zhengde, he could already feel the sharp gust of wind from the punch.
This made Ouyang Zhengde's expression change. With no other option, Ouyang Zhengde could only raise his arms to block.
"Bang!"
In an instant, Chen Mo's fist struck Ouyang Zhengde's arm.
There were no flashy martial skills, only pure strength.
"Crack!"
Immediately, the sound of several bones breaking echoed.
Ouyang Zhengde's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Pfft!"
A mouthful of blood sprayed from Ouyang Zhengde's mouth.
His body slid more than ten meters on the ground before finally stopping after hitting the steps of the Ouyang family mansion.
The sudden turn of events caused everyone present to look over.
The next second, everyone was shocked.
Ouyang Zhengde's arms were clearly broken, and a dent appeared on his forehead.
Looking at Ouyang Zhengde's face.
Blood flowed from his seven orifices, and he had no breath left.
Even in death, Ouyang Zhengde remained kneeling on the ground.
"Patriarch!"
Seeing this, the remaining family members of the Ouyang family cried out in pain and despair.
Ouyang Zhengde was the spiritual leader of their Ouyang family.
With Ouyang Zhengde's death, they knew that the Ouyang family was completely finished!
Seeing that Ouyang Zhengde couldn't even withstand a casual punch from Chen Mo and had perished, Li Wanzong and the others showed a look of despair.
Retracting his fist, Chen Mo's gaze fell upon Li Wanzong and the others.
"Thump!"
Li Wanzong and the others stumbled and all knelt before Chen Mo.
Noticing the despair on their faces.
Chen Mo's lips curved into a smile: "Do you want to live?"
"Yes, yes!"
Upon hearing this, Li Wanzong and the others nodded frantically without hesitation.
Having experienced despair, giving them a glimmer of hope for survival would make them cherish it.
Chen Mo asked, "What is the function of that jade pendant?"
Zhang Chaoyang quickly stepped forward and said, "Mr. Chen, that jade pendant is said to be the key to a secret realm."
"Key?" Chen Mo frowned slightly.
Li Wanzong also hurriedly said, "Yes, it's rumored to contain endless wealth, and even powerful martial arts inheritances. Whoever obtains that secret realm can unify the ancient martial arts world."
"Have you ever seen this secret realm?" Chen Mo asked.
The crowd exchanged glances and all shook their heads.
Chen Mo's expression darkened: "It's because of this uncertain secret realm that you slaughtered the entire Chen family?"
Li Wanzong and the others looked very troubled.
They dared not offer any rebuttal.
Huangfu Qi suddenly said, "Mr. Chen, the secret realm actually appeared once before, but we didn't get the jade pendant."
"Appeared?" Chen Mo frowned.
Huangfu Qi nodded: "Yes, it appeared before. They can all testify!"
Li Wanzong and the others also nodded in agreement.
Seeing that Chen Mo remained silent, Huangfu Qi continued, "Mr. Chen, in another half a year, that secret realm will appear again, and you can go in and see for yourself then."
"Half a year?"
"Yes, according to the previous calculations, the secret realm will appear within these six months."
Hearing their replies, Chen Mo fell into thought.
"Old Ancestor, what exactly is inside this secret realm? Could it be something you left behind?" Chen Mo couldn't help but ask.
"No, for my inheritance, would I need to set up such a secret realm? It would be utterly redundant," the Old Ancestor replied disdainfully.
Then, the Old Ancestor asked again, "How do you plan to deal with them?"
Hearing this, Chen Mo's gaze swept over Huangfu Qi and the others.
Noticing Chen Mo's gaze, everyone kneeling on the ground trembled, cold sweat beading on their foreheads.
"I can let you go," Chen Mo suddenly said.
Upon hearing this, Li Wanzong and the others were overjoyed.
"However, from now on, all four of your families must work for me," Chen Mo continued.
Li Wanzong and the others' expressions shifted slightly.
"What? You disagree?" Chen Mo asked.
Li Wanzong hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, no, our Li family is willing to be Mr. Chen's hounds!"
"Our Huangfu family is also willing."
"The Zhang family also agrees!"
"The Sun family is also willing to serve Mr. Chen."
Chen Mo scanned the crowd.
Seeing their patriarchs had already knelt before Chen Mo, the experts from the other families also knelt down.
Chen Mo's gaze finally fell upon the few members of the Ouyang family: "From now on, Dingyang will have no Ouyang family."
"If I find out that you are also disloyal to me like Ouyang Zhengde, the Ouyang family's fate will be your fate."
"Yes!"
Everyone kowtowed to Chen Mo in unison.
Seeing everyone submit before him, Chen Mo felt an inexplicable surge of emotion.
Composing himself, Chen Mo slowly walked up to Zhang Chaoyang: "Send someone to take me back. As for how to deal with the Ouyang family, you can discuss it among yourselves."
"Mr. Chen, please," Zhang Chaoyang hurriedly stood up and respectfully led Chen Mo to his car.
He instructed the driver to personally take Chen Mo back.
After Chen Mo left, everyone finally stood up from the ground.
Especially the few patriarchs, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Just now, their lives were in Chen Mo's hands.
This incident was not a loss for them.
Although they became Chen Mo's hounds, Chen Mo's strength was enough to make them submit, and they had also divided the Ouyang family's assets, so this trip was not in vain.
Chen Mo handed over the Ouyang family to the other four families so that they could gain some benefits.
Interest was always the primary pursuit of noble families.
And when interest is combined with fear, it is called a combination of grace and might, which can better control these families.
Chen Mo did not want to rely solely on his elder sister, so he also wanted to have his own influence.
Chen Mo did not consider himself ruthless enough to kill five families at once.
Just then.
Chen Mo's phone suddenly buzzed.
He glanced at it and saw a short text message from his elder sister: 'I'm in the southern suburbs.'
"Southern suburbs?" Chen Mo thought carefully, his expression changing slightly.
The southern suburbs, wasn't that where Fang Fang currently lived?
Immediately, Chen Mo instructed the driver to head directly to Fang Fang's residence.
Meanwhile.
In a courtyard in the southern suburbs.
A woman pushed open the courtyard gate and walked in slowly.
No one followed behind her.
However, from the woman's aura, it was evident that she was no ordinary person. She was like a queen, exuding an inexplicable sense of pressure.
And she was Chen Mo's elder sister, Qin Yuyan.
"Who are you?" Fang Fang, who was washing clothes, asked curiously upon noticing Qin Yuyan in the courtyard.
"I'm looking for Chen Mo," Qin Yuyan said faintly.
"Chen Mo?" Fang Fang's expression stiffened.
Especially under Qin Yuyan's radiance, Fang Fang found herself appearing so ordinary.
