Urban: It turns out this is a comprehensive world
Chapter 108 Secrets: Going All Out Against Xiao Chen
"Here's what happened..."
Faced with Mo Yu's doubts, Luo Lingtian slowly opened his mouth and told him everything that the Heavenly Dao had told him before, without hiding anything.
After listening to Luo Lingtian's explanation, Mo Yu, Zhao Hao, and Ye Fan exchanged glances, their faces showing sudden realization, and their doubts instantly vanished.
It turns out that Luo Lingtian hadn't made a move because it was an order from Heaven.
Then, Zhao Hao slowly narrowed his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them, and asked in a deep voice, "Since that's the case, Young Master Luo, why don't you tell us about this now?"
Does this mean we should temporarily stop targeting Xiao Chen and continue with our previous approach of only launching passive counterattacks without taking the initiative?
The old Dragon King is currently seriously injured and his fate is unknown. Xiao Chen and his group may still be within the territory of Hai City.
They had originally planned to find Xiao Chen and his group as soon as possible, and then launch another attack to eliminate Xiao Chen completely in one fell swoop.
It seems that without the protection of the old Dragon King, a powerful expert at the Celestial Realm, Xiao Chen will be doomed to die once they find him.
But now that they know the truth, they probably can't take action against Xiao Chen for the time being.
No, quite the opposite.
Luo Lingtian shook his head slightly, a meaningful smile suddenly appearing on his face. He said in a relaxed tone, "From now on, we can deal with Xiao Chen without any scruples."
"Oh? Could it be... that all the fortune has been successfully transferred to Xiao Chen?"
Ye Fan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he sat up straight instantly. His tone was filled with surprise and eagerness as he quickly asked.
"That's right."
Luo Lingtian nodded, his tone relaxed, then sighed softly, "However, there's bad news."
Xiao Chen left Hai City last night and is now at the Cheng family's place in Yangcheng.
This morning, after waking up and learning that he could deal with Xiao Chen without any scruples, he immediately ordered Luo Ya to search for Xiao Chen's whereabouts.
With artificial intelligence and satellites at their disposal, Luo Ya quickly ascertained Xiao Chen's movements.
"Tsk, this is indeed a bit troublesome."
Mo Yu clicked his tongue, a hint of regret on his face. "That kid Xiao Chen has hidden in the Cheng family, so it's really not a good time for us to make a move."
He knew that the state would generally ignore life-or-death battles between individual martial artists to a certain extent, and would not intervene unless things escalated too much.
However, it would definitely not work if they simply stormed into the Cheng family to deal with Xiao Chen, or even the entire Cheng family.
After all, the Cheng family is not some insignificant small family, but a well-known and powerful family in Yangcheng with a vast influence and profound foundation.
Their battle is bound to be earth-shattering. If things escalate and attract the attention of the authorities, it will be difficult to handle and may even bring unnecessary trouble upon themselves.
"It's not that there's no way."
Seeing the regret and helplessness on everyone's faces, Luo Lingtian's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile, and he slowly said, "Moreover, I have some good news to tell you."
"Oh? What method? And any good news?"
Mo Yu instantly became interested, the helplessness in his eyes vanished, and he hurriedly urged her on.
Zhao Hao and Ye Fan also turned their gazes towards the scene, eager to know what Luo Lingtian's method and good news were.
"As the local tyrants of Yangcheng, the Cheng family has been anything but peaceful in Yangcheng. They have done a lot of dirty things in secret, especially after their marriage alliance with the Xiao family, they have become even more unscrupulous."
I have secretly gathered a stack of irrefutable evidence of their bullying, tyranny, and wrongdoing; each piece is enough to get them into serious trouble.
Luo Lingtian sat upright in his chair, his fingertips lightly tapping the table. He spoke slowly, his tone carrying a hint of cold indifference: "We haven't touched them before simply because the most opportune time hasn't come yet."
Now that Xiao Chen's usefulness has been completely exhausted, there's no need to be polite in dealing with the Cheng family anymore!
As soon as he finished speaking, a chilling killing intent quietly spread from Luo Lingtian's body, and the surrounding air seemed to cool down instantly.
The Cheng family was one of the culprits who caused him to be separated from his biological parents and forced him to wander from place to place.
If it weren't for them, he should have had an incredibly smooth life, living comfortably and without any setbacks.
He should have been the third-generation successor of the Luo family in the capital, a beloved direct descendant of the Bai family, a martial arts family, born with inexhaustible resources and top-notch cultivation techniques.
Why rely on some kind of cheat code to painstakingly learn the methods of martial arts training and struggle step by step like this?
If it weren't for the Cheng family's scheming back then, he wouldn't have needed to go through so much trouble to build his own power, and his martial arts strength would probably have far surpassed his current level, and he would have already stepped into a higher realm!
Of course, this does not mean that he is dissatisfied with his current adoptive parents. Luo Lingtian is grateful to his adoptive parents for raising him and is also very fortunate to have met and been with them, and to have a warm past.
However, people strive for higher positions, just as water flows downhill. If there are better life choices, who would be willing to endure hardship and take every step cautiously?
Well, on the other hand, compared to ordinary people struggling at the bottom of society, his life can't really be considered truly bitter.
"So that's how it is! Using the power of the state to punish them is indeed a good way to solve the problem once and for all!"
After listening, Ye Fan's eyes flashed with approval, and he immediately praised her.
With irrefutable evidence of the Cheng family's illegal and disorderly conduct, it would be far more efficient and less troublesome for the national authorities to personally intervene and take action against them than for the few individuals to painstakingly and slowly devise a plan to target the Cheng family. This would also avoid unnecessary trouble.
"That being said, it won't be that easy to completely destroy the Cheng family."
Mo Yu frowned, his tone cautious, and slowly offered a reminder.
"That's right. The Cheng family is a long-established martial arts family in Yangcheng with a profound foundation. There is even a Celestial Realm expert in the family, so their strength should not be underestimated."
Even if the government intervenes, it may not be able to completely eradicate them.
Zhao Hao nodded in agreement with Mo Yu's statement, his expression remaining calm.
"I never expected the higher-ups to wipe out the Cheng family directly."
Luo Lingtian's lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile, and he said calmly, "As long as we can use this evidence to turn the Cheng family into wanted criminals, that will be enough."
"That's right! How come I didn't think of that!" Upon hearing this, Mo Yu and the other two suddenly realized and nodded in agreement.
Once the Cheng family members become wanted criminals by the state, then they can legitimately take action against the remaining members of the Cheng family.
Even if there's some commotion, it's just doing what's right and sharing the burden for the country, and there's no need to worry about the authorities interfering.
Having figured things out, Mo Yu asked again, "Ling Tian, what's the good news you mentioned? Stop keeping me in suspense!"
Luo Lingtian raised his eyes, looked at the three expectant expressions, smiled slightly, and slowly uttered four words with a hint of barely perceptible pleasure in his tone: "The Old Dragon King is dead!"
"???"
These four words exploded in the ears of the three of them like a thunderclap!
Mo Yu, Zhao Hao, and Ye Fan suddenly jumped up from their seats, their bodies stiffening, their eyes wide open, staring straight at Luo Lingtian with disbelief written all over their faces.
They roared in unison, "Really? That old bastard, the Dragon King, is dead?!"
The old Dragon King was a powerful expert in the mid-stage of the Celestial Realm, and Xiao Chen's strongest backer. How could he be dead?
"Of course it's true."
Luo Lingtian picked up the tea on the table, took a slow sip, and remained calm and composed, as if he had only mentioned a trivial matter.
"The news has been confirmed. The old Dragon King died last night, and his body is already cold."
"Hahaha! Good! Excellent! This is truly gratifying!"
Upon receiving confirmation from Luo Lingtian, Mo Yu could no longer contain his joy and burst into laughter, the sound of which made the windows of the study rattle slightly.
"With the old Dragon King dead, Xiao Chen has lost his strongest backer. Now, dealing with that kid will be much easier!"
"That's true."
Zhao Hao smiled and nodded slowly, saying, "With the old Dragon King dead, the Cheng family now has a way to deal with him. As long as we keep a close eye on Xiao Chen and prevent him from taking the opportunity to hide at the Xiao family in the capital, dealing with him will be a piece of cake!"
"The Xiao family? They wouldn't dare protect Xiao Chen."
Luo Lingtian shook his head slightly, his tone firm, and slowly explained, "Since Xiao Chen stepped into the Dragon Kingdom, he has never done anything clean. He has a lot of blood on his hands and has committed many crimes."
"Putting everything else aside, just this one time, he led a large number of his subordinates from the Dragon King's Palace to openly attack us, intentionally injuring people and provoking trouble. That alone is enough to warrant a severe sentence for him."
"Moreover, I have irrefutable evidence that he secretly leaked my information to hostile foreign forces."
Treason, threatening national security, and all his previous misdeeds—each one carries a death sentence. Even if the Xiao family had the greatest audacity, they wouldn't dare openly protect someone destined for death at this time!
"Ha! So, once we officially take action, there will be no place for that bastard Xiao Chen to hide within the entire Dragon Kingdom!"
Mo Yu sneered, his eyes flashing with intense excitement and undisguised killing intent.
Finally, he was able to completely kill Xiao Chen, that bastard who had repeatedly provoked them. How could he not be excited?
"However, I think that in the end we will probably have to go abroad ourselves to deal with him."
While everyone was excited, Zhao Hao remained calm, his brows slightly furrowed, and slowly analyzed the situation.
"As Luo Shao said before, the Heavenly Dao has already poured all the remaining fortune into Xiao Chen."
This means that we no longer have any scruples and can deal with him without restraint.
But this also means that Xiao Chen's luck has reached its peak. With this stroke of good fortune, he shouldn't be so easily caught by the government.
"You have a point, but it doesn't really matter."
Ye Fan sat back down in his chair with a relaxed smile on his face and said, "If he hides in the country, we will have to be constantly concerned about the safety of ordinary people when dealing with him, which will restrict our actions and cause us a lot of constraints."
Having been a soldier, Ye Fan had the safety of ordinary people ingrained in his very being. In everything he did, he would prioritize the safety of the innocent, which had always been his bottom line.
"If he's really forced to flee abroad, that would be even better. Then we can deal with him however we want, without any hesitation!"
