High Martial Arts: Invincible Starts from Basic Archery Chapter 805 - 623: Are You Talking About Him?

The pair felt a sudden jolt and hurriedly inquired.

"I'd like you both to assist me in probing the spread of those Fierce Beasts."

Chen Fan gazed far off, "Now's the moment to strike first and eradicate all these Fierce Beasts for good."

His statement landed, stirring waves of feeling in the Thunder Emperor and his companion's chests.

That's right.

Without the Elder Council's support, just the duo alone might not hold off the Fierce Beasts' onslaught—it remained uncertain.

Things shifted entirely with Chen Fan present.

Whether four Beast Emperor Level Fierce Beasts appeared, or even ten, the Fierce Beasts' doom stayed inevitable.

"Fine."

The Thunder Emperor agreed without hesitation, "Still, stay vigilant during your journey and avoid any slip-ups."

...

Xu Family.

A handful of the Xu Family's key figures had assembled.

Xu Hu led the group, his expression glowing with satisfaction as he eyed those before him and declared, "Starting today, the Awakened Association vanishes from Yan Country. Our Noble Families dictated terms in the past, and we'll keep ruling the roost moving forward."

The others were aware that their family's elder had headed to the Su Family to confront the Thunder Emperor, and this news sparked wild excitement in each of them.

"About time too—these Awakened Association folks always acted so superior, ignoring us completely, particularly that pair."

"On that note, the Thunder Emperor probably never imagined the Ice Emperor turning on him, huh? Honestly, I'd love to witness his face when the truth hits him."

"Hahaha, it'll be a sight to behold."

Boisterous chuckles filled the air around them.

Xu Hu joined in the hearty laughs.

"Father, I've got one worry on my mind." A middle-aged man voiced up then.

"What if the Ice Emperor seizes the Awakened Association, boosting the Su Family's strength once more—could they flip and target the rest of us families?"

His words dropped, and silence swept the room at once.

Their grins slowly drained away from their faces.

True enough, as the proverb warns, no one sleeps soundly with a tiger at their bedside.

Forget the Su Family—if it were their own side with clear superiority in power, they'd surely push for more gains too.

"That's a fair point."

Xu Hu's features grew grave.

"Heard of Gong Bo and Yu Jianqiao, those two?"

"Gong Bo? Yu Jianqiao?"

"The pair of Awakeners the Awakened Association had on their wanted list?"

"Didn't the Awakened Association nab them already? Word just came out days back that a young Chen fellow caught them."

"Father, are you suggesting?"

"The Su Family actually groomed those two." Xu Hu drew in a sharp breath as he revealed it.

"What!"

"No way!"

The group gaped, their inner turmoil hitting peaks of disbelief.

"This is rock-solid info—Su Ming spilled it right in front of us all. His aim in raising them was straightforward: to keep the other families in check."

They exchanged glances among themselves.

"Father, but with those two snagged by the Awakened Association, aren't they as good as finished now?"

"Exactly."

Xu Hu dipped his head, "Thinking back, we owe it to that young Chen chap for foiling the Su Family's plot—their long-term efforts crumbled in a single night."

At that, the others let out relieved exhales.

Truth be told, had those two lingered with the Su Family, their Xu Family—already weaker—would've faced an even grimmer outlook.

"Hold off on celebrating."

Xu Hu shot them a look, "The Su Family's drive to crush us hasn't faded. Dead or not, Gong Bo and Yu Jianqiao won't stop them from training up a Zhang Bo or Li Jianqiao next. Plus, post this mess, the Awakened Association falls squarely under Su control, letting them breed top-tier Awakeners with ease."

"Grandfather, what's our move then?"

The group grew alarmed.

Yes, soon the whole Awakened Association would bow fully to the Ice Emperor.

Their position looked far from promising.

"We prepare ahead, naturally."

Xu Hu narrowed his gaze and stated, "I've quietly reached out to the other three families already. When the time comes, we'll band together against the Su Family."

"?"

Right then, a silhouette materialized in the chamber.

One person leaped from their seat in terror.

"Who goes there? Who allowed you entry! Scram!"

A voice snarled at Chen Fan.

Only Xu Hu displayed shock across his features.

He spotted instantly that this intruder was the very Chen Fan they'd been discussing!

In a flash, his frame started shaking beyond control.

He understood full well he stood no chance against Chen Fan—barring their family ancestor in the Divine Cultivation Realm, nobody could rival him.

Worst of all, that Divine Cultivation Realm ancestor had ventured to the Su Family, leaving the estate empty of his presence.

Meaning, right now, nothing in the family could halt him.

"Bang!"

A thunderous crash echoed.

The furious speaker slammed into the wall with force. His frame cracked apart, and survival seemed impossible.

"Third brother!"

"You dare slay one of ours!"

The survivors' rage flared up, and they lunged at Chen Fan without delay.

Xu Hu clenched his jaw and slipped quietly toward the back.

Anyone could guess Chen Fan's purpose here; lingering spelled doom. The Secret Realm offered no refuge either—better to dash to the Su Family and alert the ancestor to the crisis.

Yet abruptly, motion escaped him, like some Body-Stabilizing Technique had struck, leaving him to stare as Chen Fan closed in.

"Spare me, I beg you, don't end me."

He begged, "Name your price—I'll hand it over, just let me live."

"Oh?"

Chen Fan offered a light smile, "Suppose I demand your Xu Family's Supreme-level Martial Arts, or even Divine Demon-level ones?"

"Those I can provide, yes I can." Xu Hu rushed out, "Supreme-level Martial Arts fall under my say, but Divine Demon-level ones rest with our family ancestor—they'd need to greenlight it."

"You referring to this one?"

Chen Fan brushed his finger across the Spatial Ring.

A body tumbled onto the ground.

"?"

Xu Hu froze in place.

Then his eyes bulged, on the verge of popping.

"Ancestor? Impossible! This isn't real! No!"

He muttered the phrases over and over, like someone gripped by madness.

"You're tricking me! You staged this with a fake to mimic my ancestor. It won't work on me!"

Chen Fan just smiled, staying silent.

As expected, Xu Hu's agitation mounted.

"This is a lie, isn't it?"

"That's not my ancestor, correct?"

"My ancestor holds Divine Cultivation Realm power; they'd never fall so simply!"

"Tell me! Why stay quiet?"

Finally, Xu Hu's certainty crumbled.

For one, their ancestor dwelled in isolation—Chen Fan had zero shot at encountering him.

And the attire plus accessories matched; if those were forged too, then the ancestor likely perished for real.

"You've pieced it together, so why make me spell it out? Here's some positive update: the Su Family ended ten minutes back, sparing your families any fear of their schemes."

"What?"

Xu Hu's inner astonishment soared to new heights.

The Su Family gone?

How?

Everyone knew the Su Family boasted not just their core, but also the ancestors from the four families—including theirs.

With such forces, only mass betrayal could spell their downfall—how else would trouble find them?

"The grim part: I've slain your family ancestors too. Soon, your families join the list of the extinct."

"No, lies all of it!"

Xu Hu bellowed.

He'd refuse to accept, even under torture, that their ancestor perished by Chen Fan's hand. "Don't worry—folks from the other families will join you shortly."

Chen Fan wrapped up, then crushed the foe's heart meridians outright, before heading to the Xu Family's Secret Realm site.
