Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 978 - chapters Expropriation

The willows were lush, the alleyway serene.

Passing through the lengthy alley, Wang Chen arrived at the gate of a residence.

After leaving the Yiluan External Affairs Office, Wang Chen first returned to the inn he was staying at. After changing into casual clothes, he followed the address on a deed to find the house before him.

Initially, he had taken the hidden treasures from the Anyang Ling Family’s secret chamber, which included several property deeds of Daye.

Though Wang Chen told Liu Chaozong that he wanted to return to Donglu Prefecture, his intuition told him he would most likely be retained for a position in Daye.

With new Taoist skills refined, the accommodations at the inn became inconvenient. Thus, Wang Chen pulled out a deed from his storage space as a means to find himself a new foothold.

However, the couplets pasted on both sides of the gate made him frown involuntarily.

This house was undoubtedly part of the Ling Family’s properties, as clearly stated on the deed, complete with the official seal from the Daye Household Office.

Yet the relatively new couplets indicated that someone seemed to be living inside!

After some thought, Wang Chen stepped forward and knocked on the door knocker.

"Who’s there?"

After a short while, the gate creaked open, and a head peeked out from inside.

The person was dressed in bluish-gray servant’s clothes. Upon seeing Wang Chen, he immediately scowled and demanded, "What youngster is this, knocking haphazardly, disturbing my master’s nap? Can you afford the consequences?"

Wang Chen calmly inquired, "Is this your master’s house?"

"Ha!"

The servant, as if hearing the funniest joke, scoffed dismissively, "Not our master’s, then is it yours? Scram quickly, or you’ll answer to my fists!"

He shook his clenched fists menacingly at Wang Chen, his face fierce and threatening.

The next moment, the arrogant servant flew backward like a kite with its string cut, crashing heavily ten steps away in the courtyard, nearly splitting his backside in four.

"Ah!"

He screamed in pain, then immediately yelled, "Someone help! There’s someone attacking the household!"

Before his words ended, several figures quickly appeared in the courtyard, blocking Wang Chen, who had just stepped through the gate.

"Who is this? Daring to intrude into the Han Residence!"

"Kneel for your life!"

The guards from the residence, each one exuding a fierce aura, quickly surrounded Wang Chen.

"Han Residence?"

Wang Chen snorted coldly, "Since when did my Ling Family’s house become part of the Han Family’s?"

The guards encircling Wang Chen exchanged looks, one of them said solemnly, "Capture him first, then talk!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Three guards simultaneously flew backward, just like the earlier servant.

Each of them tumbled to the ground. Although their bodies were not severely injured, the shock in their hearts was indescribable.

None of the guards had seen how Wang Chen had moved. They only felt a great force suddenly strike them, and then they were involuntarily flung away.

This was definitely a high-tier martial artist!

At that moment, a middle-aged man swiftly arrived and landed in front of Wang Chen, asking with a grave expression, "May I ask, sir, in what way has the Han Family offended you?"

This middle-aged man undoubtedly had a stronger cultivation level than the guards. Wang Chen glanced at him and replied indifferently, "Didn’t you hear what I just said? This house belongs to my family. You squat in our nest and dare to question me?"

The middle-aged man was momentarily taken aback.

He hadn’t expected Wang Chen to truly come to "reclaim" the house.

The middle-aged man hesitated because he knew the origins of the house were somewhat murky, and his master had only moved in a few years ago.

The real owner had arrived!

"How audacious are you, villain!"

The next moment, a large group of people erupted from the front hall, led by a man in a brocade robe who roared at Wang Chen, "This is the Han Family’s ancestral property, you audaciously plan to seize and dominate it, it’s completely lawless!"

"Someone, seize him, kill him without mercy if he resists!"

After his shout, the man in the brocade robe realized the situation was completely wrong.

The middle-aged man standing in front of Wang Chen, who was the Chief Martial Master of the Han Family, suddenly knelt down with a thud.

His body trembled, his complexion pale as paper!

And the three guards who had just gotten up from the ground were also ashen-faced, daring not to step forward.

"What are you all standing there for?"

The man in the brocade robe, both shocked and angry, roared, "What am I feeding you for? Go up!"

Under his urging, several nearby guards drew their weapons, cautiously approaching Wang Chen.

They weren’t fools, how could they not see how formidable Wang Chen was?

But constrained by their master’s commands, they had to grit their teeth and confront him, all the while praying constantly.

But before they got close to Wang Chen, Wang Chen suddenly raised his hand and made a grasping motion, the long sabers wielded by a few guards simultaneously flew out of their hands, all landing precisely in his palm!

This scene was simply astonishing.

With a flick of his wrist, several long sabers instantly snapped and broke, clattering to the ground.

Only then did the man in the brocade robe realize he had bitten off more than he could chew. He instinctively stepped back two paces, stuttering, "In broad daylight, breaking into someone’s home is a severe crime, if you leave now, I will let this go."

The last two sentences exposed his own weak confidence.

"I have said, this mansion is mine."

Wang Chen dropped the handle of the saber in his hand, speaking indifferently, "If you leave now on your own, I will overlook your crime of occupying others’ property."

The mansion had been empty for quite a while, and Wang Chen was unclear whether Ling Hongyun had arranged someone to guard it.

Now that it was occupied, he was determined to reclaim it.

However, Wang Chen did not wish to complicate matters further, as long as the other party was sensible, it was better to do less than more.

The man in the brocade robe swallowed hard, retorting, "You say this mansion is yours, do you have any proof?"

"Of course, I have proof."

Wang Chen coldly laughed, "But are you worthy to see my proof? I’m giving you two hours to move out immediately, if you haven’t left by then, don’t blame me for being impolite!"

With that, he turned and left.

The man in the brocade robe stood there, dazed, watching Wang Chen’s figure disappear, it took him a long time to snap out of it, then he flew into a rage.

"What are you all doing standing around? Hurry up and report to the Jingzhao Yamen, let the Imperial Guard send someone to arrest the fiend!"

The mansion immediately became a scene of chaos.

Two hours later, Wang Chen once again arrived at this mansion.

He discovered that in the front yard stood a dozen fully armed Imperial Guards, with the man in the brocade robe hiding behind them, casting a satisfied glance at Wang Chen.

"Gentlemen, it’s him, he’s the one trying to seize our house!"

A broad-backed and fierce Imperial Guard stepped forward, saying threateningly, "You’ve got some nerve to..."

His voice suddenly faltered, as if someone had seized his throat.

Because Wang Chen had just revealed his Identity Plaque!
