CHAPTER 1657: CHAPTER 1658: THE LONELY ISLAND ON THE OCEAN

"My brother is dead, and I will protect his family."

This time, it’s the Duanmu Family from Chaoyang City.

Duanmu Yinque has arrived.

Luo Chengdong’s face grew increasingly grim.

He’d made a mistake.

He hadn’t anticipated that even a dead man would have so many people to defend and support him.

"Whoever dares to wreck the mourning hall, they must first get past our Shi Family Village."

Members of the Shi Family Village arrived as well.

Each of them was a skilled fighter.

The elite guard secretly trained had already grown up.

Xiao Chen was indeed willing to risk his life because he was confident.

"Heh heh, did someone forget about our Yanzi Sect?"

Liu Hong also appeared.

He brought along a group of Yanzi Sect experts.

"Western Territory Stone God Family is here!"

The Stone God Family now recruited a large number of experts from the Western Territory, their strength already able to contend with the Luo Family.

"You! All of you!"

The expression of Luo Chengdong and the Luo family experts had changed to one of fear.

How could this be?

A dead man actually had so many people willing to pledge loyalty. Are they all damned fools?

It was simply incomprehensible.

"Heh, boss, you’re really something. In less than two years, you’ve garnered the support of so many people, even though they haven’t fully matured yet.

But it’s enough to protect your family."

Lin Feng said with a smile.

"That’s right, but they’re still not capable of handling genuine experts, so we’ll still need to rely on you. They’re still in the midst of growing."

Xiao Chen replied.

He was quite touched.

While some people’s disgust was nauseating, the loyalty and righteousness of others truly moved him.

He felt that these past times he really hadn’t lived in vain.

He had truly done many right things.

"Kill them!"

Zhang Qi’s voice was cold as frost.

The Jiang Clan people only had words, mere mockery.

But these people from the Western Territory’s Luo Family were different.

They came to wreck the mourning hall, to kill Xiao Chen.

Such people must not be allowed to live.

"Yes!"

Zhang Qi was the de facto controller of the Xiao Family.

Because Xiao Chen trusted him.

He did not betray Xiao Chen’s trust.

Even after Xiao Chen’s death, he remained immensely loyal.

Ding Mulan, Li Zui, and others all issued orders.

The Luo family’s people were slaughtered in an instant.

"Let’s use their blood to honor the Family Head’s spirit!"

Zhang Qi’s eyes were icy cold.

After this incident, no one dared to mock anymore.

Because people realized one thing, although Xiao Chen was dead, the Xiao Family remained powerful.

If there were no top-tier experts, it was likely impossible to really do anything against the Xiao Family.

Soon, the three-day mourning ended.

Then, nearly a month passed.

It was relatively calm.

Many thought of dealing with the Xiao Family and the Xinmeng Group, but none dared to make a move.

Xiao Chen’s lingering influence was still present.

The Xiao Family remained very united.

People at the Xinmeng Group worked harder than before, although overseas expansion had stalled.

On this day, Jiang Meng gave birth to Xiao Chen’s child.

It was a son.

Named Xiao Yingxiong!

It sounded like a tribute to his heroic father.

But only Jiang Meng knew, she hoped her son could be as remarkable as his father, becoming a great hero standing tall amidst the world.

The birth of Xiao Yingxiong made many restless.

That was Xiao Chen’s son.

If he learned what they had done to Xiao Chen, wouldn’t that be troublesome?

Thus, the newly born Xiao Yingxiong was placed on the international bounty list, with a bounty of 100 million!

That was certainly a record breaker.

Much higher than his father’s bounty when he first came onto the scene.

Xiao Chen spent each day with his son and wife, living leisurely.

However, his being alive was not something he wanted to disclose just yet.

Because the most fearsome enemy had not acted yet.

The remnants of the Demon King’s Temple were now in the Wo Nation.

Their hatred for Xiao Chen had reached an extreme.

They were trying every way to seek revenge.

Xiao Chen had to make these people show themselves, otherwise, this Demon King’s Temple issue would be endless, and it would be too troublesome to deal with.

When Xiao Yingxiong was a month old, Xiao Chen made a decision to travel to the Wo Nation!

He took Jiang Meng, Xiao Yazhi, and the one-month-old Xiao Yingxiong!

The saying goes, if you don’t enter the tiger’s den, how will you get the cub!

The Xiao Alliance members were always on standby, he did not need to worry about anything happening to Jiang Meng.

On the surface, only Ren Jing and thirty-six Tiangang members followed.

The rest stayed in Dragon Country to protect the rest of Xiao Chen’s family.

But in reality, members of the Xiao Alliance were everywhere.

This news, once out, shocked both domestic and international circles.

"Is there something wrong with Jiang Meng’s head? Doesn’t she know she’s been targeted with a bounty?"

"Taking a young child out on a trip?"

"If Xiao Chen were still alive, he’d surely be furious!"

They certainly didn’t know that Xiao Chen was indeed still alive.

And it was actually Xiao Chen’s suggestion.

"Scared?"

On the cruise ship, Xiao Chen asked with a smile.

"Not scared, as long as you’re by my side, I’m not afraid of anything."

Jiang Meng smiled: "Yazhi has been gloomy since she thinks you’re dead. That child truly admires and loves you dearly.

Don’t you plan to tell her?"

"Let her in. Now the whole world thinks I’m dead. It’s been two months. Those who should have made moves have done so. It won’t hurt to let Yazhi know."

Xiao Chen chose a cruise instead of a plane to have better recreational travel.

In his world, it’s not just about plans and battles, but also about companionship.

It’s a pity that he still has to fake death at the moment, so he can’t let more people know of his presence yet.

"Daddy!"

"Daddy, you’re not dead!"

"Yazhi thought you didn’t want me anymore!"

Xiao Yazhi cried her heart out when she saw Xiao Chen, tears streaming down.

Xiao Chen felt quite emotional, realizing he had somewhat neglected those who cared about him and were saddened for him.

He would need to make it up for them in the future.

"Don’t cry, Daddy is fine. Daddy pretends to be dead to protect you from the bad guys hiding in the shadows."

Xiao Chen smiled. He didn’t know if Xiao Yazhi understood, but this little girl had indeed matured faster compared to ordinary children after experiencing some events.

"I know! We’re going to catch the ghost."

Xiao Yazhi said with a smile.

"Yes, to catch the ghost!"

Those domestic people had all been put on the blacklist.

Just waiting to settle the score in the fall.

Now, it was time to fish for those offshore.

In the Pacific Ocean.

There was a secluded island.

Few knew, but this was a prison.

A natural prison.

The island held many death row inmates.

They had committed heinous crimes, and each was terrifyingly powerful.

They came from all over the world.

A ship was approaching the isolated island.

A man stood at the bow.

His name was "Orochi," the new Demon King of the Demon King’s Temple.

He had come here this time, only to find one person.

To find someone who could, through layers of obstacles, slay Jiang Meng and Xiao Yingxiong.

Xiao Chen was already dead.

But the Demon King’s Temple wanted Xiao Chen’s line to end.

Thus, Jiang Meng had to die, and Xiao Yingxiong too.

The ship did not berth.

Because the lunatics on the island were extremely dangerous.

Though they all wore collars to control their actions, providing thrilling combat performances for the big shots behind the TV screens.

But caution was still needed.
