112: Revisit Zhanyang City

Two months had passed.

Yang Lingchen arrived in Zanyang City once again.

Looking at this city, Yang Lingchen felt deeply moved.

Recalling the time he left Zanyang City, he had held Zhang Junhao hostage and was chased by Zhang Deshuai all the way to the Cangyun Mountain Range.

At that time, his strength was weak, and he could only flee in a sorry state under the other's pursuit.

Now, arriving at Zanyang City again, Yang Lingchen's mindset had undergone a heaven-defying change.

With his current strength, no one in Zanyang City could threaten him anymore; even Zhang Deshuai was merely at the Peak of the ninth layer of the Spirit Sea Realm. He had enough confidence and strength to deal with any challenge.

Zanyang City, City Lord's Residence.

Zhang Deshuai was in the City Lord's main hall, handling the city's various affairs. His brows were tightly furrowed, and he appeared somewhat agitated.

"Report to the City Lord, Yang Lingchen has appeared."

A guard hurried in and said.

"Where?"

Zhang Deshuai stood up abruptly and asked in a hurry.

His eyes were filled with anger and killing intent, as if he wanted to tear Yang Lingchen apart.

"Just now, our people received news that Yang Lingchen and Chen Xueqi have appeared in Zanyang City and are currently on their way to the Chen Family."

The guard said. His voice trembled slightly, clearly fearful of Zhang Deshuai's rage.

"Little Bastard, this time I will tear you into pieces."

Zhang Deshuai gritted his teeth and said: "Order the City Guard to set out with me immediately." His voice echoed in the hall like thunder.

After speaking, Zhang Deshuai took out a sound transmission talisman and informed his second uncle, Zhang Donghai, who was at Medicine King Valley, about Yang Lingchen's appearance.

He knew well that Yang Lingchen's strength could not be underestimated and that he had to make full preparations.

Guided by Chen Xueqi, the two arrived at the Chen Family Residence.

This Residence was not the private Residence Chen Xueqi had before, but the main Family Residence. This Residence was imposing, with simple and elegant architecture, demonstrating the Chen Family's status in Zanyang City.

"Young Miss, you have returned." Seeing Chen Xueqi return, Lvluo hurried out to welcome her. Her face was filled with a joyful smile, and her eyes were full of concern.

"Is my father here?" Chen Xueqi asked. Her voice contained a hint of urgency; she wanted to see her father as soon as possible.

"Young Miss, hurry and go take a look! The Grand Elder and the others are forcing the Family to abdicate." Lvluo said anxiously. Her eyes were full of anxiety and helplessness.

"Why are they forcing my father to abdicate?" Chen Xueqi frowned and said. Her face became gloomy, and she felt angry at the actions of the Grand Elder and the others.

"It's all because this guy crippled Zhang Junhao, causing the City Lord's Residence to suppress us for the past two months. That's why the Grand Elder and the others took the opportunity to force the palace, making the Family Head abdicate." Lvluo gave Yang Lingchen a look of disdain.

She had no good feelings about Yang Lingchen's arrival, believing he had brought trouble to the Chen Family.

"Xueqi, let's go take a look!" Yang Lingchen said calmly. There was not a hint of fear in his eyes, as if everything was under his control.

"Mm."

Chen Xueqi took Yang Lingchen and walked straight toward the Chen Family meeting hall. Along the way, Chen Xueqi's mood was very heavy; she didn't know what would be waiting for them.

Chen Family meeting hall.

"Chen Donghai, today, you must step down whether you want to or not, otherwise don't blame us for being impolite."

The Grand Elder of the Chen Family said coldly. His face carried a hint of hideousness, and his eyes were full of greed and ambition.

"Chen Donghai, it is all because of the good daughter you raised. Look at what she has done to our Chen Family!"

The Third Elder scolded angrily. His voice was sharp and piercing, making people feel very uncomfortable.

Meanwhile, Chen Donghai, who was sitting in the Family Head's seat, had an extremely gloomy face. He didn't expect the Elders, who usually obeyed him, to join forces to force him to abdicate. His heart was full of anger and helplessness, but he didn't know how to deal with it.

Just then, Chen Xueqi, with Yang Lingchen, pushed open the doors of the meeting hall.

"Father."

Chen Xueqi called out softly. At this moment, she noticed that her father seemed to have aged a lot.

His hair was somewhat gray, and the wrinkles on his face had deepened significantly.

"Xueqi, you're back."

A loving smile appeared on Chen Donghai's face. His eyes were full of warmth and relief, as if he saw hope.

"I missed home, so I came back to see you and Mother."

Chen Xueqi said, her voice carrying a hint of choking, and tears glistening in her eyes.

"It's good that you're back. Go back to your room first, Father will come to see you when I'm done."

A loving smile appeared on Chen Donghai's face. He didn't want his daughter to be involved in this dispute and hoped she could be safe and sound.

"Wait."

At this moment, the Grand Elder stood up, looking at Chen Xueqi with a cold sneer.

His eyes were full of disdain and disgust, as if Chen Xueqi were a sinner.

"What does the Grand Elder mean?" Chen Donghai said coldly. His voice carried a hint of dignity, trying to maintain his daughter's dignity.

"Since the Young Miss has returned, she must give us, the Chen Family, an explanation." The Grand Elder's voice was cold, looking at Chen Xueqi with ill intent.

"Grand Elder, what explanation do you need This Young Lady to give you?" Chen Xueqi said. Her eyes were full of anger and determination, not fearing the Grand Elder's threat in the slightest.

"Was Zhang Junhao crippled by your fiancé?"

The Grand Elder asked with a cold sneer. His voice carried a hint of mockery, as if laughing at Chen Xueqi's ignorance and stupidity.

Chen Xueqi bit her pink lips and said: "Yes, so what?"

Her voice was full of stubbornness and unyielding spirit, without any intention of bowing her head.

At this time, the Third Elder stood up and scolded: "Shameless bitch, if it weren't for the wild man you found who injured Zhang Junhao, would our Chen Family have fallen to this point today?"

The Third Elder's voice was full of anger and accusation, pushing all the responsibility onto Chen Xueqi.

"Slap..."

Just then, a crisp sound of a slap echoed in the hall. A phantom flashed by, and immediately after, the Third Elder's body flew out like a cannonball.

"Bang."

"Ah... ah... ah..."

The Third Elder's body slammed heavily into a pillar not far away, immediately letting out a miserable scream.

His body trembled uncontrollably, and blood sprayed wildly from his mouth.

"Old thing, are you calling me a wild man again?"

Yang Lingchen curled his lips into a cold sneer, his cold eyes carrying a trace of faint killing intent.

His voice was full of dignity and dominance, making people shudder.

"Who are you? How dare you ambush and hurt people in my Chen Family?"

The Grand Elder stared at Yang Lingchen sharply. His eyes were full of anger and vigilance, shocked by Yang Lingchen's strength.

"I am the wild man you speak of."

Yang Lingchen said with a cold sneer. His voice was full of disdain and mockery, as if laughing at the Grand Elder's ignorance and stupidity.

"Hahaha..., there is a path to Heaven you do not take, but you break into the door of Hell. Today, this old man will take you to the City Lord's Residence to resolve our Chen Family's crisis."

The Grand Elder laughed and said.

In the Grand Elder's eyes, Yang Lingchen was just a piece of trash at the fourth layer of the Spirit Sea Realm. As long as he captured Yang Lingchen, he could please the City Lord's Residence, and at that time, his power would crush Chen Donghai as the Chen Family Head.

"Are you sure you want to take me to the City Lord's Residence?" Yang Lingchen sneered. His eyes were full of disdain and provocation, as if laughing at the Grand Elder's overestimation of his own abilities.

"Of course. It's best if you surrender now, that way you can suffer a little less." The Grand Elder said with cold eyes. He was full of confidence in his heart, believing that Yang Lingchen had no room for resistance in front of him.

"Slap."

Yang Lingchen couldn't be bothered with nonsense. His figure turned into a phantom, and he slapped the Grand Elder across the face, instantly sending him flying.

"Ah..."

The Grand Elder fell to the ground and let out a scream. At this moment, his entire face was covered in blood, and his right cheek had been completely sunken in.

His eyes were full of fear and despair; he hadn't expected Yang Lingchen's strength to be so terrifying.

"Overestimating yourself, old thing. If it weren't for Xueqi's sake, I would have slapped you to death."

Yang Lingchen stood proudly, glaring coldly at the Grand Elder. A powerful Aura emanated from him, making people afraid to look directly at him.

At this moment, the Chen Family meeting hall was silent. Everyone looked at Yang Lingchen in horror. They couldn't understand how this young man at the fourth layer of the Spirit Sea Realm could slap the Grand Elder, who was at the eighth layer of the Spirit Sea Realm, flying. This was simply too contrary to common sense.

Unlike the others in the Chen Family, Chen Donghai's face instead revealed a look of surprise.

Because he could see that although Yang Lingchen only had the cultivation level of the fourth layer of the Spirit Sea Realm, his true Combat Power far exceeded his own, which was at the ninth layer of the Spirit Sea Realm.

At this moment, Chen Donghai calculated secretly that if the Chen Family could have a son-in-law with strength comparable to the King Realm, then in the future, they would not need to look at the face of the City Lord's Residence to live.

"Family Head, it's bad. The City Lord has brought people here, telling us to hand over Yang Lingchen and the Young Miss."

Just then, a Chen Family servant hurried in. His face was pale, and his eyes were full of fear.

"Little Bastard, you are dead. The City Lord will definitely not let you off."

The Chen Family Grand Elder slowly crawled up at this time, looking at Yang Lingchen with resentful eyes. His heart was full of hatred; he wished he could tear Yang Lingchen into ten thousand pieces.

"Slap."

Yang Lingchen's figure turned into a phantom, and he slapped him again. Instantly, a large head flew out.

"Bang..."

Coincidentally, the Grand Elder's head hit the Third Elder, immediately scaring the Third Elder so much that he almost fainted. His body trembled uncontrollably, and he made incoherent sounds in his mouth.

Yang Lingchen took a towel out of the haotian jade space, wiped his hands, and said faintly: "What kind of thing is that? With that IQ, I don't know how he lived to this age?"

Yang Lingchen's voice was full of disdain and mockery, as if the Grand Elder's life and death were just a trivial matter in his eyes.

After witnessing Yang Lingchen's brutality, for a time, no one dared to underestimate Yang Lingchen anymore. After all, no one wanted to lose their head like the Grand Elder.

"Yang Lingchen, you are so fierce!" Chen Xueqi said timidly.

Her eyes carried a hint of surprise and fear; she hadn't expected Yang Lingchen to be so ruthless.

"Then are you afraid?"

Yang Lingchen showed a gentle smile and said. His eyes were full of concern; he didn't want Chen Xueqi to be afraid of him.

"I'm not afraid!"

Chen Xueqi said, trying to stay calm. But her voice still carried a hint of trembling; clearly, she was still a little scared.

"Then if I ask you to accompany me to kill Zhang Deshuai, do you dare?" Yang Lingchen smiled and said. His eyes were full of confidence.

"I dare. As long as you are here, I am not afraid of going anywhere."

Chen Xueqi said in a delicate voice. Her eyes were full of firmness and trust; she was willing to follow Yang Lingchen through fire and water.

"Then let's go meet them."

Yang Lingchen gently held Chen Xueqi's hand and walked outside. His steps were firm and powerful, as if carrying endless courage and determination.

"Xueqi, you..." Chen Donghai shouted in a hurry. His eyes were full of worry and unease; he didn't want his daughter to be in danger.

"Father, don't worry, I will be fine." Chen Xueqi turned back and said. Her eyes were full of confidence and firmness, reassuring Chen Donghai.

Seeing this, Chen Donghai shook his head helplessly and followed them out. No matter what, he didn't want to see his daughter get into trouble.
