93: Angry Chen Xuanfeng

Xie An left directly after bringing Xun Xiuyuan and the two others to Xie Nanqiao's courtyard.

As for Xie Lin and the remaining surviving Qianlong City members, they had to return to Qianlong City on their own and did not receive the same treatment as Xun Xiuyuan.

Upon arrival, Xun Xiuyuan immediately went to the backyard to visit his mother and grandfather.

Ji Wushuang and Ji Tianxun were quite calm about Xun Xiuyuan's return, as they had no idea of the dangers of the Lingtian Relic, and it had only been a few days since he left.

However, for Xun Xiuyuan, the subsequent process of the Ling Tian Pagoda recognizing him as its master was extremely painful, making him feel as if he had narrowly escaped death. Thus, seeing his mother and grandfather now made him a little emotional.

Ji Wushuang saw Xie Nanqiao and Bai Xiaoou following behind Xun Xiuyuan and immediately smiled, saying, "I'll go cook. It's rare for everyone to be back, let's have a lively meal together. Nan Qiao, go call your father over, and we can have some drinks and a meal together."

Due to Ji Wushuang, the relationship between Xie Nanqiao and her father, Xie Shan, had greatly improved during this period.

Ji Wushuang didn't actually know the specifics of the relationship between Xie Nanqiao and her father, but ever since she first witnessed the awkward meeting between Xie Nanqiao and her father, Ji Wushuang, who had experienced many setbacks, understood something.

Afterward, Ji Wushuang intentionally or unintentionally always made the two interact, hoping to restore their father-daughter relationship.

Later, Ji Wushuang indirectly learned the source of the conflict between Xie Nanqiao and Xie Shan.

As an outsider, such a conflict could not be resolved through persuasion. She could only create opportunities, hoping that it would slowly ease. At least for now, the effect seemed to be good.

Xie Nanqiao was arrogant towards everyone in Qianlong City, but she was incredibly submissive when facing Ji Wushuang.

Xie Nanqiao herself wasn't quite sure why.

Perhaps it was because Ji Wushuang was Xun Xiuyuan's mother, and she loved the house because of the person in it. Or perhaps it was because Ji Wushuang's gentle care made her feel the long-lost maternal love.

Or perhaps both reasons contributed.

After hearing Ji Wushuang's words, she hesitated for a moment, but then, seeing Ji Wushuang's expectant gaze, she finally gave in and pulled out her phone to call Xie Shan.

Ji Tianxun's cultivation realm was now stable at the peak of the Grandmaster Realm, and with a bit more effort, he could soon step into the Great Grandmaster Realm. Although the seven Body Tempering realms did not greatly increase lifespan, at the current pace, there was still some hope of advancing to the Innate Realm.

After all, Xun Xiuyuan provided enough breakthrough gene fluid, and soul stones would not be lacking, so the cultivation of his family members was steadily progressing.

Jiaolong City.

At this moment, Jiaolong City was in chaos. Wang Yonghua was the first to leave Qiulong City, and after returning to Jiaolong City, he immediately ordered the control of all members of the Chen Family.

Chen Xuanfeng was also bewildered by the sudden situation, and it wasn't until he contacted Ling Ren in Qiulong City that he learned about his family's Old Ancestor dying in battle outside the Lingtian Relic, causing his expression to change drastically.

Ling Ren was the Ling Family's second Shattering Void Realm expert and had a very good personal relationship with Chen Xuanfeng.

Upon receiving the news, Chen Xuanfeng immediately ordered the Chen Family members not to resist for the time being, but to stabilize their position first.

Just as Chen Xuanfeng learned of his family's Old Ancestor's death, Wang Yonghua had already arrived at the Chen Family.

Wang Yonghua no longer concealed himself, and the humiliation he suffered in Qiulong City made this Shattering Void Realm Old Ancestor completely enraged.

"Chen Xuanfeng, if you are sensible, hand over all of your Chen Family's fixed assets and all of your soul stone reserves. This way, I can show you mercy and allow your Chen Family to leave Jiaolong City safely."

Wang Yonghua could only act quickly at this moment, as he estimated he would get nothing if Xie An and the others arrived.

Although Chen Xuanfeng knew that his family's Old Ancestor had died in battle, he did not know that the Human Race's higher-ups had already agreed to the Chen Family's withdrawal from Jiaolong City.

Wang Yonghua was taking advantage of this time difference to see what the effect would be.

Chen Xuanfeng pondered for a moment and replied, "Old Ancestor Wang, the fixed assets originally belong to Jiaolong City, and I can offer them with both hands. As for the soul stones, I can also hand over half the amount. Do you think this is feasible?"

For a large family that had existed for hundreds of years, with numerous members, if they handed over all their reserve soul stones, the cultivation of the family's disciples would be affected. This was a matter that impacted the family's foundation, and Chen Xuanfeng could only negotiate in good faith at this time.

After all, with the Old Ancestor gone, the Chen Family's relationship with the Wang and Cui families had always been poor, and Chen Xuanfeng feared that Wang Yonghua would directly slaughter the Chen Family's disciples.

In fact, Chen Xuanfeng's worries were not unfounded at all. If Li Jun hadn't just mentioned the Chen Family's situation, and if his own family's disciples hadn't been caught in the Remains, making him very passive, Wang Yonghua would probably have already made his move.

Wang Yonghua saw Chen Xuanfeng soften and feared that the people from Qianlong City would quickly arrive to assist the Chen Family. Although he had already activated the grand formation, he could not directly teleport into the city.

He nodded and agreed, saying, "Hand over the information on the fixed assets and five-tenths of the soul stones, and I will no longer obstruct the Chen Family from leaving Jiaolong City."

Seeing Wang Yonghua agree to his demands so readily, Chen Xuanfeng was a bit surprised, but for the continuation of his family, he had no choice but to give Wang Yonghua the items he mentioned.

Wang Yonghua took the items, glanced at them, and then looked at Chen Xuanfeng, saying, "Consider yourself sensible!"

After speaking, Wang Yonghua did not linger and quickly left.

The moment Wang Yonghua departed, Lu Feng arrived at the Chen Manor through the city gate.

Chen Xuanfeng was delighted to see Lu Feng, stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Senior Lu!"

Lu Feng looked at Chen Xuanfeng, "Do you know about your family's Old Ancestor's matter?"

Chen Xuanfeng's expression immediately darkened, "I already know."

Lu Feng nodded, "Don't be too sad. Old Chen's passing this time was extremely tragic; he is a role model for us humans. The higher-ups have already agreed for your Chen Family to settle in Qianlong City, and no one is allowed to obstruct it for any reason. They have also granted your Chen Family the reward from the fifth floor of the Ling Tian Pagoda. With your accumulation, it won't be long before you advance to the Shattering Void Realm."

Lu Feng spoke quickly, informing Chen Xuanfeng of the current situation, hoping that Chen Xuanfeng wouldn't be extorted. Little did he know, it was already too late.

After hearing this, Chen Xuanfeng trembled with rage and said to Lu Feng, "Senior Lu, before you arrived, Wang Yonghua had already been here, threatened me, and took away our Chen Family's fixed assets and half of our soul stone reserves."

Lu Feng was also furious upon hearing this and cursed, "This dog is truly inhumane. No wonder Jiaolong City's grand formation was activated so early; he probably feared I would teleport directly in and ruin his good deed."

Just as Lu Feng was seething with anger, a voice came from behind him, "Old Lu, what's wrong? Did the Wang Family cause trouble again?"

It was Xie An.

Lu Feng helplessly recounted how Wang Yonghua had extorted Chen Xuanfeng.

Xie An scoffed after hearing it, "No wonder he's been stuck in the late Shattering Void Realm, unable to advance. With such character and such a mindset, he'll advance to nothing."

He then drew the Space Rending Spear he had just obtained, which could be said to be a top-tier weapon from the abyss, and said to Lu Feng, "You take the Chen Family members and leave first. A few resources are nothing. Old Chen died saving my Xie Family's son-in-law. If your Chen Family lacks cultivation resources, just ask my Xie Family. If the Xie Family doesn't have enough, the Lu Family will supplement it."

He glanced at Lu Feng as he spoke, and Lu Feng smiled and nodded.

Xie An spoke again, "I'll try out the weapon my Xie Family's son-in-law brought back for me and see if the supplies Wang Yonghua extorted are enough to cover his medical expenses?"

After speaking, he immediately headed to the Wang Family's stronghold.
