He had recently lost a grandson, and now, he was betrayed by his only relative.
"Why would you do this!"
"Did our Ouyang family ever treat you poorly!"
Ouyang Yuming, who had taken this collateral branch descendant in because he valued talent and didn't want Ouyang Xiu's abilities to be buried, had personally raised him.
Over the years, he had never forgotten to share any good fortune with Ouyang Xiu.
He had also entrusted him with the management of the group's important affairs.
Ouyang Yuming had given Ouyang Xiu the maximum power and freedom he could, yet...
"Heh, you didn't treat me poorly, but you were always biased!"
The gentle and elegant demeanor on Ouyang Xiu's face had completely vanished. "No matter how hard I try, in your eyes, I'm always inferior to that useless Ouyang Yu!"
"As long as he exists, you will never hand the Ouyang family over to me."
"No matter how hard I try, you only see him! Just like this time, accompanying the Venerable of the Divine Hall to the Treasure Pavilion. I had already requested to go, but to pave the way for your grandson, you gave this great opportunity to him!"
"If one does not look out for himself, heaven and earth will destroy him. You taught me that, Grandfather!"
"So I killed him, with my own hands."
Ouyang Yuming's expression instantly turned blank.
He had never imagined that the child he had raised by his side for so many years and entrusted with great responsibility would turn out to be a viper!
"Beast! He was your own brother!"
Ouyang Xiu remained unmoved. He tightly restrained Ouyang Yuming in front of him and then looked at Chen Fan with hatred. "If you have to blame someone, it's only this Chen Fan."
"If it weren't for him, you could still be alive and well, enjoying your old age."
"But now..."
Ouyang Xiu's eyes sharpened, and he fiercely tightened his grip, attempting to snap Ouyang Yuming's neck!
Chen Fan's face instantly darkened. He flicked his fingertip towards Ouyang Xiu's wrist.
Ouyang Xiu's strength immediately dissipated.
Chen Fan then quickened his pace and swiftly pulled Ouyang Yuming back.
Ouyang Xiu's eyes were inscrutable as he looked at Ouyang Yuming, who had moved to Chen Fan's side. He then calmly nodded at Chen Fan and said, "The rest is an internal matter of my Ouyang family."
"If you leave now, I promise to let your Dark Fox organization retreat unharmed, and I will never bother you again."
Chen Fan chuckled and looked at him, "What if I don't?"
Ouyang Xiu sneered, "Then don't blame me for being impolite, and I'll make you accompany this old man to hell!"
"Just you?"
Ouyang Xiu did not answer his question.
At this moment, several elders of the Ouyang family had already arrived.
They unhesitatingly stood behind Ouyang Xiu, appearing to be completely at his command.
Ouyang Yuming had not yet recovered from the shock of Ouyang Xiu's attempt to kill him. Seeing this scene, the anger in his eyes intensified. He shouted at the elders, "Don't you forget who has been supporting you all these years!"
"Patriarch, you are old. It is time to pass the stage to younger people."
Ouyang Yuming staggered back several steps. Yin Ping, standing nearby, saw this and quickly stepped forward to support him.
Ouyang Yuming's face was as pale as paper.
He had not expected Ouyang Xiu's influence to have spread so far!
Was it all due to his indulgence of Ouyang Xiu over the years?
Chen Fan sighed. He originally had no intention of meddling in this affair.
However—
If he were to allow a power-hungry individual like Ouyang Xiu, who disregarded human life, to take power, it would be tantamount to allowing another "Divine Hall" to fester on European soil in the future.
Chen Fan sighed and stepped forward. "I am determined to get involved in this mess today."
"You likely lack the ability."
As soon as Chen Fan's words fell, a person walked out from behind Ouyang Xiu.
The old man's temples were already streaked with white, indicating he was in his fifties or sixties, but his spirit was vigorous, and every step he took exuded the aura of a powerful expert.
This was Elder Luo, the most capable among the Ouyang family's elders.
He had already reached the peak of the Nascent Soul realm.
Elder Luo sneered at Chen Fan, "There aren't many people left in Europe who dare to act so presumptuously in front of me."
"You cannot protect this person."
As Elder Luo spoke, his spiritual power surged.
He almost boastfully displayed his strength before Chen Fan. "If you don't wish to perish, then get lost!"
Chen Fan looked coldly at the person before him and then raised his chin, nodding at the elders still standing behind Ouyang Xiu. "Come at me together."
"I'm in a hurry."
Chen Fan, through his actions, embodied the saying that there is no most arrogant, only more arrogant.
Indeed.
Elder Luo and all the other elders burst into laughter. "Kid! Do you think life in Europe has been too easy, and you're tired of living, to dare provoke us like this?"
"This is the territory of the Five Great Families! Do you think these are some insignificant forces in Europe that you can bully at will?"
Ouyang Xiu had long disliked Chen Fan.
Seeing his arrogance at this moment, he immediately waved to the elders. "No need to waste words with him!"
"Attack directly!"
Fine.
Ouyang Xiu's words indeed served as a reminder to Chen Fan.
There was truly no need to waste any more words with them.
Chen Fan sneered and charged forward. No one could clearly see how he moved!
He weaved between the elders like an afterimage!
