Chapter 900 - 268: Inheritance Scroll
Chapter 268 [Inheritance Scroll]
After Chen Yan knocked vigorously on the door multiple times, Shen Shiqi had already caught up and walked to his side, smiling wryly, "Are you... just going to knock like this?"
"What else?" Chen Yan grinned, "We’re here to fight, not for a meal."
Shen Shiqi frowned, "Isn’t it a bit reckless? Actually, we could first check the situation and then..."
He wasn’t finished speaking when they heard a creaking sound. To the side of the mansion’s main door, unexpectedly, a small side door opened.
Chen Yan smiled.
Ah! Turns out I’m still uncultured.
In ancient times, the main doors of wealthy households generally didn’t open. They only opened on important days or when important guests arrived.
Beside the big door, there was usually a smaller side door for everyday entries and exits.
Those dramas showing big doors of grand households casually open—those are just for filming needs.
When the small door opened, a skinny, old man walked out from inside.
Wearing a long robe, with a black headscarf, and a beard.
His expression cold and stiff as he faced Chen Yan, he said in a cold tone, "Where do you wild people come from, daring to cause a ruckus at the Li Mansion’s doorstep!"
Oh?
Filming a period drama, eh?
Chen Yan squinted and scrutinized the little old man for a moment, nodding his head.
Regardless of anything else, if this were truly a filming set, the costume and set design are truly impressive!
"Is this the Li Mansion?" Chen Yan laughed heartily.
The little old man coldly said, "Since you know it’s the Li Mansion, why don’t you hurry and get lost! It’s not a place for wild people like you..."
He seemed ready to continue berating, unprepared for Chen Yan who suddenly briskly walked toward him, reaching him in a few steps!
Just saw Chen Yan suddenly raise a hand, pulling out a sword from the Storage Jade Pendant!
A real sword, a genuine sword!
Moreover, it was one he casually bought in the Domain Realm, intended for cultivator use!
Though it hadn’t been awakened spiritually, hadn’t been refined, couldn’t be used for flying sword spells in sacrificial practice, and hadn’t birthed anything like a sword spirit...
But, it was a genuine deadly weapon!
With a swish!
A gleam of the blade sliced down!
The little old man hadn’t finished his words before his head had already split from his neck!
Rolling a few times, the head tumbled to the ground!!
Shen Shiqi jumped in fright, letting out a startled cry.
Chen Yan, however, coldly stared at the head fallen at his feet.
Hmm, there’s no blood on the ground!
And the little old man’s body was still standing there, arms suddenly raised, waving back and forth.
The head lying on the ground revealed an angry expression, still spurting words angrily, roaring, "Damn thief, you’ve got guts! Dare to cut my head off!! Return my head! Return my head!!"
Chen Yan chuckled, bent down and grabbed the old man’s head, lifting it up.
The old man’s expression twisted with fury, roaring angrily, "You’re dead! Causing trouble at the Li Mansion! The master will surely tear you to pieces and boil your bones and fat!!"
Chen Yan brought the head closer for a look and nodded, "So that’s how it is."
Then he kicked the old man’s body flying. After a single kick, it bounced off the wall and fell to the ground.
Watching as its chest caved in!
Then in a puff, it transformed into a wisp of smoke and disappeared!
On the ground, only a yellowish talisman paper remained.
The head in Chen Yan’s hand grew even angrier, "Damn thief! Return my body! Return my body!! That was the body the master made for me! Return it..."
Chen Yan slapped it, and the old man’s face instantly caved in on one side.
Then Chen Yan strode forward, kicking once more, causing the side door’s panel to collapse. Holding the head in one hand, he charged inside in large strides!
"It’s a robbery! It’s a robbery!! Liangshan heroes are here! Today we didn’t come for anything else but ransacking homes!"

Inside the mansion, as Chen Yan entered through the side door, he found an annex room next to him. Peering in, he discovered it was completely empty.
Seeing the spacious layout of the front courtyard, it was indeed a large yard, surrounded by flowers and plants, with blue bricks paving the center leading to a main hall at the front, and side corridors flanked by side rooms.
As he walked inside, Chen Yan raised his voice loudly.
Soon, several individuals in house servant uniforms emerged from the side rooms, holding wooden clubs, shouting loudly.
"There’s a thief!!"
"Catch the thief!!"
"Thief is committing a crime, trespassing the mansion!"
"Beat them out! Beat them out!!"
"The thief killed the fourth steward!"
Chen Yan fixed his gaze upon these people, a strange smile slowly forming on his face, "What a bunch of brutes!"
Saying that, he tossed the head he was holding, then kicked it, causing it to fly and strike a charging house servant’s chest.
The house servant, hit, flew backward, his chest and abdomen caving in. Before hitting the ground, he transformed into a puff of smoke and vanished.
Chen Yan rushed forward, meeting a house servant raising a club to strike, slashing downward with the sword, the house servant and the club both sliced in two!
Half the body fell to the ground, transformed into smoke with a bang, and vanished again!
"Murder! It’s murder!"
The remaining house servants turned and ran, some even dropping their clubs, dropping to their knees trembling, pleading, "Oh sir, please don’t kill me!!"
Chen Yan’s expression remained stern as he approached and pierced him with the sword!
Bang bang, as another puff of smoke rose, Chen Yan with just a sword in the front yard slaughtered the whole area. Soon, four or five house servants had been slain and vanished into smoke. The courtyard left empty, as survivors fled inside with cries and screams.
