The eldest son of the Fang Family, one of the Four Great Aristocratic Families, Fang Tianze is holding a funeral!

This news spread throughout the entire Dingjing overnight.

This time, Fang Tianze's funeral had drawn the attention of all parties in Dingjing.

The Fang Family is one of the traditional old aristocratic families and had always stood at the top of Dingjing society. Moreover, just yesterday, the Four Great Aristocratic Families issued a final ultimatum to the rising star Yi Chen. The changing of hands at Sky Venerate City had just caused a sensation, and now, this event once again focused the public eye on Sky Venerate City.

At the same time, with this funeral, people also wanted to see whether Yi Chen would send someone to attend. If Yi Chen did attend the funeral, the attitude of their representative would reveal a lot.

The Four Great Aristocratic Families had dominated Dingjing for many years, their power unmatched. After Yichen Company set up in Dingjing, it had caused a stir. This time, one might witness a direct collision between the new and the old powerhouses.

Therefore, today's funeral attracted many family powers from Dingjing; they all wanted to see whether Yi Chen would return and, after arriving, whether they would show submission or confront fiercely!

This funeral was destined to become a venue for the Fang Family, and even the Four Great Aristocratic Families, to showcase their strength, as well as a touchstone for the clash of power between the established families and the new contender.

Dingjing's An Jing Funeral Home.

This is a place specially designed for the nobility to hold funerals. Behind the funeral home is a cemetery. The plots here are more expensive than Dingjing's house prices!

The crowd was immense!

The several hundred square meter plaza was filled with various luxury limousines, the entrance of the funeral home was crowded with people orderly entering the home, paying their respects, and then leaving. The constant flow of people never ceased, as almost every somewhat influential person in Dingjing came to pay their respects.

The scene was very quiet, aside from the mourning music, only footsteps could be heard. Inside the funeral home, people also spoke in hushed tones, as if afraid to disturb the departed.

"Has Yi Chen's people not arrived yet?"

"It seems they haven't come. Could they be scared?"

"If they're scared, they should show up as a gesture, right?"

"Maybe they're afraid of losing face and plan to visit secretly?"

As noon approached, whispers could be heard amongst the crowd waiting outside the funeral home.

The members of the Ye Family and others all showed surprised expressions. In their estimation, Jiang Chen would certainly not back down, while the people from the Gong Family revealed sneers.

"Haha..."

"Indeed!"

"It's so lively here, so many people!"

Suddenly, a burst of laughter and cheerful voices came, and the people at the door turned their heads in astonishment.

Jiang Chen walked alone at the front, followed by Xuan Long and over twenty other people, chatting and laughing as they walked toward the funeral home.

"Who are these people?"

"Judging by the situation, are they here to cause trouble?"

"It's Yi Chen's people! The one in front is Yi Chen Company's boss, Jiang Chen!"

"People from Yichen Company? This is..."

"They are going to confront the Four Great Aristocratic Families head-on!"

The crowd suddenly became restless, and as soon as Gong Zijun directly pointed out the identities of Jiang Chen and his group, a flurry of exclamations arose.

"It's them!" A distinct low exclamation sounded, Lin Chao's face changed in the crowd—he had been the one who was driven away after causing a scene over demolition at Jiang Chen's villa just two days prior. He immediately stepped back, retreating two steps, and stood behind others.

His face filled with panic as he watched Jiang Chen and the others approaching closer and closer, never had he imagined that the Yichen Company everyone mentioned would actually belong to Jiang Chen.

Seeing Yan Hu behind Jiang Chen, carrying a massive weapon, Lin Chao's face turned pale.

Others might not know Jiang Chen's strength, but he did!

As soon as he recognized it was Jiang Chen and his group, he knew that today's affair wouldn't end well. Judging by Jiang Chen's demeanor, they weren't here to sincerely mourn; and with a Heavenly Peak Grandmaster level martial artist by Jiang Chen's side, the Four Great Aristocratic Families likely couldn't detain him today.

"Who are you people? Today is the funeral of the Fang Family's young master; how dare you cause trouble here? Do you have a death wish?" Suddenly, a loud shout erupted from beside Lin Chao.

When Lin Chao turned his head, he discovered that his own father had already rushed forward to block Jiang Chen and his group, his face full of anger as he questioned them.

"Ssst—"

Lin Chao drew in a breath of cold air, trembling inside.

He understood all too well what his father was thinking; certainly he wanted to take this opportunity to step on Jiang Chen and his group, to show his face in front of the Four Great Aristocratic Families.

If it were someone else his father intended to step on, Lin Chao would definitely not interfere, but rather join in to rally support. They were always this arrogant.

But today was different. That was Jiang Chen! Was that someone his father could step on?

One misstep could lead to crushing their own demise!

Therefore, seeing Jiang Chen frown, Lin Chao's body shook and he quickly rushed in front of his father, desperately pulling him to the side while urgently speaking, "Dad, have you gone mad? Come over here quickly!"

Jiang Chen glanced at Lin Chao, a probing look in his eyes.

"What are you doing? Let go of me! How dare these people here..." Lin Chao's father, Lin Zhengfeng, roared in anger toward Lin Chao.

Opportunity! What a great opportunity!

Lin Zhengfeng was frantic; although they were also of the Lin family, they had no connection with the Lin family among the Four Great Aristocratic Families and were often obstructed by them due to sharing the same surname. The various families in Dingjing knew that the aristocratic Lin family disliked Lin Zhengfeng's branch, and despite other families wanting to support them, they were warned by the aristocratic Lin family that only they could oppress those with the Lin surname.

This left Lin Zhengfeng's Lin family in an awkward position; in Dingjing, aside from the aristocratic Lin family, no one would oppress them, but the aristocratic Lin family treated their family like a toy, neither annihilating them nor allowing them to develop.

This was why Lin Chao could boast that he could go anywhere in Dingjing. Not because their family was very powerful, but because they were, in a way, protected by the aristocratic Lin family—a protection with humiliating undertones.

In Dingyun Lake, Lin Chao boasted in front of Sun Zhihan just to show off.

Lin Zhengfeng believed that Jiang Chen and others causing trouble at the Fang Family young master's funeral were practically seeking death. It was the perfect opportunity to establish a connection with the Fang Family. They did not ask for much, only for the Fang Family to speak on their behalf to the aristocratic Lin family and stop restricting their family's development.

But his own son was running out to obstruct him. How could Lin Zhengfeng not be furious!

"Dad!"

Lin Chao was almost in tears, understanding his father's intentions, but people were talking about a Heavenly Peak Grandmaster martial artist here. Even the Four Great Aristocratic Families might not be able to contend with such a figure. Why add to the trouble!

"You lot, what are you staring at? Hurry up and pull the young master away!" Seeing Lin Chao disregarding his scolding and continuing to pull him, Lin Zhengfeng immediately shouted at the bodyguards nearby.

Two of Lin Zhengfeng's bodyguards stepped forward and took Lin Chao aside.

Lin Chao flailed his arms and legs, shouting urgently, "Dad, come back quickly!"

While calling out, Lin Chao turned his head to look at Jiang Chen, who was now getting impatient, frowning once again.

And when he turned back, Lin Chao saw his father still scolding Jiang Chen, and his heart skipped a beat, his face instantly going white.

Somehow finding the strength, Lin Chao forcefully broke free from the bodyguards' hold and charged directly in front of Jiang Chen.
