Chapter 359 Farewell to Yehuang
He spoke earnestly, but if someone else had said these words, Chen Ze might have been able to listen to them. However, since it was his father, who had done so many bad things, not only Chen Ze but also the rest of the Chen family found it ridiculous.

After all, the women and innocent men sent there were all part of a scheme orchestrated by the Chen family and Huang Xiao and others.

Yang Tuo bore the direct consequences, and they also had indelible karmic burdens on their bodies.

"If this matter escalates," Chen Qingyan said, "I will take full responsibility; you all need not concern yourselves with it anymore."

If this is the case, then someone from the Chen family must step forward to take responsibility for it, and that person's status cannot be too low.

No one is more suitable to be the head of the family than him.

Chen Ze said, "Father, things might not have come to this yet?"

Chen Qingyan, however, was not optimistic. "If it's just this step, it might be considered that God is taking pity on our Chen family. I'm just afraid..."

Before he could finish speaking, a smiling female voice suddenly came from above the Chen family: "Where is the head of the Chen family? Xu Xingtian of Yehuang Auction House requests an audience with the head of the Chen family."

The members of the Chen family exchanged glances, and their expressions changed.

Finally, Chen Qingyan stepped forward and saw Xu Xingtian and several powerful figures from Yehuang Auction House standing above the Chen family. He knew that the visitors were not friendly and that their visit was just a pretense to question him.

Whether the Chen family can continue to thrive in Yehuang City depends on what happens today.

He stepped forward, hovering in mid-air with a smile on his face. As if he hadn't seen the powerful figures behind Xu Xingtian, he asked Xu Xingtian, "What wind has blown Lord Xu here? Not only has Lord Xu come in person, but he has also brought so many people from the auction house. Our Chen family is truly flattered."

His words were a veiled mockery of Xu Xingtian for coming uninvited and barging into the Chen family's territory without asking where the host was, which he considered utterly unreasonable.

Unexpectedly, Xu Xingtian had no intention of reasoning with him this time and went straight to the point.

"The teleportation array in our Yehuang City has been managed by your Chen family for many years, hasn't it?"

Chen Qingyan's heart skipped a beat, but since he didn't know how far Xu Xingtian had gotten into this matter, he could only probe calmly: "Over the years, it has indeed been the Chen family."

"But how come the one drawn by your Chen family is so similar to the core array of our Lingtian Pavilion sect's teleportation array?"

These words truly ripped off the Chen family's dignity. Chen Qingyan hadn't expected Xu Xingtian to go this far, and couldn't help but show some anger as he continued to probe: "Master Yang should be the one in charge of liaising with the Chen family in Yehuang City. Isn't Master Xu overstepping his bounds by doing this?"

Xu Xingtian had long anticipated that he would say that, and of course she didn't mind shattering his last hope.

"Yang Tuo has been apprehended by the Lingtian Pavilion's main leader for his involvement in karmic debts and human trafficking. His work has been handed over to Elder Zhou. Patriarch Chen, are you now willing to cooperate with our investigation?"

Chen Qingyan's expression changed several times before he said, "Please allow me to explain the matter to the family elders."

Xu Xingtian knew exactly what the old man was planning.

They simply wanted to use the profits and capabilities of this teleportation array to put on another desperate struggle.

In the past, Yehuang City would have been reluctant to replace such a useful teleportation array, but now...

The teleportation array that the Hong family brought out didn't look any worse than the ones we have now.

Therefore, the Chen family's uniqueness is no longer irreplaceable. In addition, their collusion with Yang Tuo over the years has caused them a lot of trouble.

Now it's time to settle the score.

……

three days later.

Hong Chen, from the Hong family, looked at the girl in blue not far away with admiration and clapped his hands excitedly: "This formation is no less powerful than the one that the Chen family brought out! Moreover, it consumes less spiritual energy and creates a more stable spatial tunnel!" Lin Zhao, with dark circles under his eyes, was directing the Hong family's formation masters to work when he heard this and yawned.

It took her three days and three nights to complete the drawing of the core array under the guidance of Granny Honghu. If she were to draw the remaining large-scale array by herself, it would probably take at least several years. However, by distributing the blueprints to these spirit talisman masters, it was completed in just over a month.

After making adjustments at the crucial juncture, Lin Zhao determined that the remaining tasks could be completed by the Hong family on their own. Unable to hold on any longer, he stepped out of the area where the formation was set up and encountered Hong Feng, who was beaming with excitement.

She was now dressed in red, her eyes bright and sparkling, her cheeks rosy and full of life, a stark contrast to the woman Lin Zhao had seen a few days ago.

This is partly due to circumstances, but more importantly, it's because the Hong family's status has changed since they gained control of the Yehuang City teleportation array.

With the Chen family patriarch and the Tribulation Transcending stage elder under the control of Lingtian Pavilion, and the discovery that the teleportation array had stolen the core array of Lingtian Pavilion, the guest elders of the Chen family either left or severed ties. Now, only a portion of the direct descendants remain in the Chen family, making them even more miserable than the Hong family back then.

The Hong family naturally replaced the Chen family in status.

"Oh, isn't this the hottest young lady of the Hong family in Yehuang City right now?" Lin Zhao teased with a smile.

Hongfeng blushed slightly at the teasing: "When did you start being so cheeky?"

Lin Zhao laughed heartily: "Senior Sister's strength has improved?"

Hongfeng nodded: "It must be due to an open mindset that your strength has improved somewhat, but compared to you, it's nothing."

Her spiritual foundation has only increased somewhat, which is far from enough compared to Lin Zhao's current solid mid-stage Nascent Soul realm.

She estimated that it would take her at least several decades or even centuries to reach the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Lin Zhao said, "This level of cultivation didn't come easily."

Hongfeng sighed, "I know who your opponent is, but I believe you can definitely go that far. Of course, if you fail, the Hong family will always welcome you."

Lin Zhao laughed and said, "I'll remember that. Whether it works out or not, I'll come and treat you to a meal, so please don't look down on me then."

Hongfeng sensed something: "You're planning to leave? When?"

Lin Zhao looked up at the sky in the distance: "Now."

She should have left once she got what she wanted, but she lingered here for a while because of Hongfeng and Yang Tuo's matter.

Now it's time to head to the Demon Realm.

She has no intention of returning before the imperial election.

Ming Gui is advancing to the Nascent Soul stage. Whether he can enter the Nascent Soul stage himself depends on whether he can gain much from this trip.

Hongfeng said, "Cultivation is not easy, safety comes first, junior sister."

The phrase "junior sister" and the gentle look in the other person's eyes that resembled Yao Yun's made Lin Zhao somewhat stunned.

In the years since she left home, she has rarely received such gentle care from female elders. Suddenly, this happened, and Lin Zhao felt a strange soreness in her nose.

In an instant, Lin Zhao unfurled her phoenix wings and said, "Senior Sister, see you after the Imperial Election!"

Hongfeng watched the girl's disappearing figure and sighed, "I also hope that after the Imperial Election, Junior Brother Song can completely let go."

She used to think of Song Tingning, but now she genuinely feels that Song Tingning is not good enough for Lin Zhao at all.

"I wonder which young talent is worthy of the young master."
