Urban: It turns out this is a comprehensive world

When Cheng Yao was questioned by Cheng Xiaotian in a stern voice, his body trembled violently, and the fear on his face intensified. He even stammered, "Dad, I really cleaned it all up."

The villagers have been behaving like quails lately, not daring to even leave their homes, and haven't caused any trouble at all!

I just can't understand it. Why did the higher-ups suddenly become so determined to target our Cheng family?

He wasn't making excuses; this was before the Old Dragon King was severely injured by Luo Lingtian and Bai Zhenbang, and then passed on his power to Xiao Chen.

Cheng Xiaotian repeatedly ordered his clansmen to stop all their underhanded activities, and all their shady businesses were shut down.

The relevant evidence was burned or destroyed, leaving not a single trace. With the help of the Xiao family, the country should have been unable to find any fault with the Cheng family.

Xiao Guodong sat to the side, his face so gloomy it could drip water. He tapped his fingers lightly on the table and suddenly said, "It's probably that brat Luo Lingtian who's behind this. That kid is meticulous and ruthless."

And the Luo family! They might have already secretly gathered evidence of our Cheng family's crimes, but they've been holding back from making a move.

Now that they've seen their opportunity, they're using the government's influence to wipe us out.

These words made the atmosphere in the study even more oppressive, and Cheng Ying's face also showed fear: "What do we do now? The Martial Arts Administration and the Law Enforcement Department are coming. With the strength of our Cheng family, we simply cannot withstand the government's thunderous measures!"

Cheng Xiaotian clenched his fists, his knuckles cracking, his eyes surging with boundless rage, yet also mixed with a trace of helplessness.

He knew very well that Xiao Guodong was right; this matter was most likely the work of Luo Lingtian and the Luo family.

That kid not only has formidable martial arts skills, but he also has high-ranking government officials backing him. Now that he has presented the Cheng family's irrefutable evidence, the government will naturally not hold back.

"What's the panic!"

Cheng Xiaotian gave a low shout, forcibly suppressing his anxiety, "Now is not the time to panic. Immediately go and notify those in the clan who were involved."

Tell them to pack their things quickly, without taking any valuables, and travel light to find Xiao Chen in the secret room!

As for those in the clan who weren't involved, let them stay in their own courtyards and remain indoors. Anyone who dares to make a move will face the wrath of Cheng Xiaotian, who shows no mercy!

He knew that the Cheng family was doomed this time, but the state might not make things difficult for those clansmen who had not participated in the illegal activities.

After all, this wasn't a feudal society, and there was no system of collective punishment.

But anyone who gets involved in even the slightest thing will face imprisonment or even death if they are arrested. They have no choice but to take a gamble and escape with Xiao Chen.

"And what about you, Dad?" Cheng Yao asked hurriedly.

"I'm going to see Xiao Chen to arrange the rest of our escape!"

Cheng Xiaotian said in a deep voice, he hadn't done anything wrong, but if he didn't participate, Xiao Chen and the others probably wouldn't be able to escape. "Hurry! Every second of delay is a death sentence!"

Cheng Yao didn't dare to delay. He turned around and ran outside, shouting into his communicator as he ran, telling the relevant people in the clan to hurry to the secret room.

Looking at Cheng Xiaotian's retreating figure, Xiao Guodong hesitated for a moment before saying, "Dad, things have come to this point, we can no longer stay in Yangcheng, and there is probably no place for you to stay in the Dragon Kingdom either."

Why don't you follow Xiao Chen to the Dragon King's Palace overseas to lay low for a while? That way, you can help Chen'er completely control the Dragon King's Palace, and you'll also have a safe place to stay."

Cheng Xiaotian paused, glanced back at Xiao Guodong, and nodded: "That's the only way. Since that kid Luo Lingtian is determined to kill us, and the country has taken action, there must be a tight net in the country. Only by going overseas can we have a chance of survival."

After saying that, he lifted his foot and walked towards the secret chamber, each step feeling incredibly heavy.

He knew that once he left, he would never return; the Cheng family, which had been built up over generations, was about to collapse in Yangcheng.

Meanwhile, in the secret chamber of the Cheng family, Xiao Chen was at a critical stage in refining his true energy.

The true energy around his body surged more and more violently, and a tingling sensation came from his dantian. He was only one step away from the Celestial Realm. If he could persist for another half an hour, he would be able to break through completely and enter the ranks of the Celestial Realm.

Just then, the stone door to the secret chamber was suddenly pushed open, and Cheng Xiaotian's voice, tinged with urgency, rang out: "Xiao Chen, stop refining it! Stop immediately! Something terrible has happened!"

Xiao Chen was startled and forcibly interrupted the refining of true qi. He almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He suddenly opened his eyes, which were filled with anger: "Grandpa!"

What are you doing! I'm about to break through to the Celestial Realm!

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt his internal energy become chaotic, surging through his meridians, causing him to grimace in pain and his face to turn ashen.

Looking at Xiao Chen's appearance, Cheng Xiaotian felt guilty, but still said in a deep voice, "Now is not the time to break through. That brat Luo Lingtian handed over the evidence of our Cheng family's crimes to the country."

The law enforcement and martial arts administration departments are already on their way. Their targets are you and those from the Cheng family who are involved in this. If you don't leave now, it will be too late!

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen's pupils contracted sharply, and the anger on his face was instantly replaced by fear: "What? Luo Lingtian actually pulled this trick!"

He never expected that Luo Lingtian would use the country to deal with them.

It's important to understand that when the nation intervenes, it's far more powerful than forces like the Dragon King's Palace or the Cheng family. For a major power like the Dragon Kingdom, wiping them out is as easy as lifting a finger when they get serious!

"It's pointless to say anything now!"

Cheng Xiaotian stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Those involved in the matter in the clan have already gathered at the entrance of the secret room."

Your father suggested that everyone go with you to the Dragon King's Palace overseas to temporarily avoid the trouble. What do you think?

Xiao Chen gritted his teeth, feeling the chaotic true energy within his body, his heart filled with resentment.

He was just one step away from entering the Celestial Realm, at which point he would be able to put up a fight against Luo Lingtian.

But now, not only has his breakthrough been interrupted, but he has also become a wanted criminal in the Dragon Kingdom, and can only flee in a sorry state.

But he also knew that now was not the time to worry about such things; survival was the most important thing.

"Alright! Let's go to the Dragon King's Palace overseas!"

Xiao Chen said in a deep voice, "The Dragon King Palace overseas still has many people and is far away from the Dragon Kingdom. Even if Luo Lingtian has connections everywhere, he may not be able to extend his reach overseas!"

"Once I have completely taken control of the Dragon King's Palace, refined all the true energy within my body, and broken through to the Celestial Realm, I will definitely return to seek revenge on Luo Lingtian!"

After saying that, he stood up and followed Cheng Xiaotian out of the secret room.

The entrance to the secret room was already crowded with members of the Cheng family, numbering in the dozens, including men, women, and children. Each of them looked terrified and carried only simple packages in their hands.

When Cheng Xiaotian and Xiao Chen came out, everyone's eyes were focused on them, filled with anticipation.

These people were the core members of the Cheng family who were involved in illegal and criminal activities, and they were also the clansmen that Cheng Xiaotian valued the most. As for those from the collateral branches, Cheng Xiaotian did not notify them at all, and their lives were left to fate.

"Listen up, everyone!"

Cheng Xiaotian's voice rang in everyone's ears, "Today, the Cheng family is facing a great calamity. There is no place for us to stay in the Dragon Kingdom."

Next, we'll follow Xiao Chen to the Dragon King's Palace overseas to temporarily avoid the storm!

"All actions on the road are under the command of Xiao Chen and me. Anyone who dares to act without authorization will be killed on the spot!"

"Yes!" the crowd responded in unison, their voices trembling slightly.

Xiao Chen glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice, "There's no time to lose, let's go now!"

We left through the secret passage of the Cheng family. The exit of the passage was at the dock on the outskirts of Yangcheng, where a boat I had arranged in advance would take us to the high seas.

Once we reach international waters, we'll transfer to the Dragon King's Palace ship and head overseas!

That was originally set up in advance as a precaution, but I never expected it would actually come in handy today.

After saying that, Xiao Chen took the lead and walked towards the entrance of the secret passage. Cheng Xiaotian followed behind him, and the rest of the Cheng family followed closely behind, not daring to delay in the slightest.

Just as they entered the secret passage, the gate of the Cheng family in Yangcheng was already surrounded by a dense crowd.

Several police cars from the law enforcement department were parked at the gate, their lights flashing. Dozens of well-trained law enforcement officers, armed with guns, surrounded the Cheng family's gate, their eyes warily fixed on the courtyard.

Behind the police officers were dozens of martial artists dressed in uniform black outfits; these were all members of the Martial Arts Administration Bureau.

Leading the group was an elderly man with white hair and beard. He exuded a powerful aura and had sharp, eagle-like eyes. He was Qin Cang, the deputy director of the Martial Arts Administration Bureau and a mid-stage Celestial Realm expert who had come from the capital.

Beside Qin Cang were several experts at the Innate Realm, as well as dozens of first- and second-rate martial artists, each with a powerful aura and a menacing gaze.

"Listen up, Cheng family!"

Qin Cang's voice rang out like thunder, echoing throughout the entire Cheng family: "Some members of your Cheng family are suspected of colluding with foreign forces, selling state secrets, abusing their power, and committing crimes. They have now been listed as wanted persons!"

You have ten minutes to come out and surrender, or we will forcibly break in and kill you without mercy!

The voice faded, but the courtyard fell silent. The Cheng family members who were not involved hid in the courtyard, trembling, not daring to even peek out, let alone respond.

Qin Cang waited for a moment, and seeing no movement in the courtyard, a cold glint flashed in his eyes: "It seems you intend to put up a stubborn resistance!"

"Brothers from the law enforcement department, seal off all exits! People from the Martial Arts Administration, follow me and force your way in!"

"yes!"

At a command, law enforcement officers immediately dispersed, sealing off all exits of the Cheng family's residence, their guns cocked and ready to fire at any moment.

Meanwhile, the martial artists from the Martial Arts Administration Bureau, led by Qin Cang, rushed towards the Cheng family's gate.

Qin Cang casually waved his hand, and a powerful burst of true energy slammed into the gate, instantly blasting the heavy solid wood door into dust.

The crowd rushed in and began searching the Cheng family home for anyone involved. Those Cheng family members who were not involved stayed obediently in the courtyard and were controlled by the law enforcement officers, not daring to resist at all.

However, after searching the entire Cheng family, apart from those uninvolved clansmen, not a single one of the core lawbreakers could be found.

"Director Qin, something's wrong! All the key members of the Cheng family involved in the case have disappeared!"

A powerful expert at the Innate Realm approached Qin Cang and said in a deep voice.

Qin Cang frowned deeply, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes: "Impossible! Our operation was extremely secretive; there was absolutely no way the information could have leaked. How could they have escaped ahead of schedule?"

This operation was personally ordered by the Grand Elder and was kept completely secret. Apart from a few high-ranking members, no one knew about it. Even if the Cheng family had extraordinary abilities, it would be impossible for them to receive the news in advance.

Just then, a police officer from the law enforcement department ran over, holding a walkie-talkie, and said urgently, "Director Qin, there's news from the docks."

"The secret passage exit of the Cheng family has been discovered. Dozens of people are running towards a speedboat at the dock. Leading them are none other than Xiao Chen and Cheng Xiaotian!"
