Chapter 291: Chapter 311: Hunter and Trap _1

Nightfall descended, and the full moon shone brightly in the sky.

The Chu Family ancestral house was located in the suburbs of Linhai City, within a vast manor. On ordinary days, only a small portion of people who guarded the ancestral house lived there. However, every Mid-Autumn Festival, the Chu Family would hold an Ancestral Worship Ceremony here, making the scene lively and festive.

Those attending the ceremony, in addition to the Chu Family’s direct cultivators, also included all cultivators nurtured by the Chu Family. Although they did not participate in the actual worship, they would observe the entire process, which doubled as a display of the Chu Family’s power, further deterring these non-Chu cultivators and increasing their loyalty.

Chu Songfeng watched the bustling scene outside and asked, "Has Old Master Zhu arrived?"

"He’ll be here soon."

Chu Songfeng breathed a sigh of relief: "That’s good. Bring the old man in secretly, and don’t let anyone see him."

"Yes, sir!"

Chu Tianyu stood by Chu Songfeng’s side, puzzled: "Dad, why do you seem a bit nervous?"

Chu Songfeng said solemnly, "If Lin Chen wants to completely defeat our Chu Family, today would be the best opportunity - all of our people are gathered here, ready for him to catch us all at once!"

Chu Tianyu’s eyes widened in shock: "Although Lin Chen is a Grandmaster, he wouldn’t dare to be so arrogant, would he? Even with his companion, there are only two Grandmasters. If they come here, isn’t that simply a death wish?"

Chu Songfeng sneered: "What if the Wei Family joins forces with Lin Chen?"

Chu Tianyu disbelieved: "Even with their help, they couldn’t possibly annihilate us."

Chu Songfeng said gravely: "Who knows if they have other helpers? Lin Chen’s master, Xue Kuangren, has quite a few friends."

Chu Tianyu asked in surprise: "If that’s the case, why are we giving them such an opportunity?"

Chu Songfeng sneered: "If the Zhu Family Ancestor hadn’t agreed to come, I might have canceled this gathering or moved it to the city. But now that the Zhu Family Ancestor is here, I’m hoping that they’ll reveal themselves!"

Chu Tianyu suddenly understood and looked at his father with admiration: "So, this is a trap?"

Chu Songfeng nodded: "Yes, as long as the Zhu Family Ancestor remains unseen, if they are indeed prepared, they will certainly make a move. At that time, with the Zhu Family Ancestor present, we can solve all our problems once and for all!"

Chu Tianyu still looked worried: "What if there are many Grandmasters coming? The Zhu Family Ancestor is just one person; will he be able to...?"

Chu Songfeng shook his head, his eyes showing a hint of leisurely longing: "Although Grandmasters are powerful, they are nothing compared to Great Grandmasters. It’s like the difference between children and adults. Even if a group of Grandmasters comes, a single Great Grandmaster is enough to deal with them. That’s the reason why the Zhu Family has always been the top family in Linhai."

After a pause, Chu Songfeng continued with a hint of regret in his tone: "Your great-grandfather has already reached the peak of the Grandmaster realm, only one step away from becoming a Great Grandmaster. However, this one step is like the difference between heaven and earth. If your great-grandfather could take that step, our Chu Family would immediately rise to the ranks of the top four families, standing side by side with the Zhu Family!"

Chu Tianyu immediately stopped worrying and said: "Now that you’ve said that, I actually hope that they do come. I really want to see their dumbfounded expressions."

Chu Songfeng sneered: "As long as they dare to come, they are doomed!"

At this moment, someone came in to report: "Elder Zhu has arrived and has been directly sent to the backyard."

Chu Songfeng nodded: "Alright, I’ll go and see him first. Are all the people outside gathered already?"

"Everyone is here."

Chu Songfeng looked at his watch: "I’ll go and see Elder Zhu first, then prepare everything outside. The Ancestral Worship Ceremony will begin exactly at eight o’clock!"

"Alright!"

When Chu Songfeng arrived in the backyard, he saw an old man with a ruddy complexion and silver hair, chatting leisurely with Chu Family Ancestor Chu Xuankong, both smiling and at ease.

Chu Songfeng went over and respectfully greeted: "Greetings, Mr. Zhu!"

Zhu Zi’an smiled slightly: "Hello. Today is a big day for you; as the family head, you have many things to attend to, so you don’t need to come here specifically."

Chu Songfeng smiled: "Mr. Zhu, as my senior, it is only natural for me, as a junior, to come and pay my respects. Furthermore, if there are any changes today, we will have to ask for your help."

Zhu Zi’an nodded: "Your grandfather has already told me. Since I’m here, you can rest assured. If they do come, I will naturally take action. However, there’s something I need to make clear beforehand."

Chu Songfeng smiled: "Please speak, Mr. Zhu."

Zhu Zi’an laughed: "I will only help you against Lin Chen and his people. If other Linhai families are involved, we all need to leave room for future encounters. As long as they promise to stop, I won’t take any action against them."

Chu Songfeng understood instantly. Zhu Zi’an was saying that if Lin Chen joined forces with other local forces, like the Wei Family, he would get the Wei Family to cease their attack on the Chu Family. As long as the Wei Family stopped, he would not take action against them, as doing so would create unnecessary enemies for the Zhu Family.

"Of course. Mr. Zhu, you only need to deal with Lin Chen, the female Grandmaster by his side, and any other non-Linhai experts he has invited."

Zhu Zi’an nodded: "Alright."

Chu Songfeng sighed in relief, glanced at the time, and smiled: "Time is almost up. Mr. Zhu, please have a seat; I’ll go and prepare for the Ancestral Worship Ceremony!"
