The wedding was livestreamed by the sister, revealing his identity as a Taoist priest.

"Wait...wait a minute!"

Shen Xingzhou stepped forward, his voice hoarse.

"On orders?"

"On whose orders?"

Lu Chen stood at the bottom of the steps, raised his one eye, and looked past Shen Xingzhou, his gaze landing directly on Shen Nianqing.

He lowered his head slightly.

"Mr. Chen."

Three words, resounding with conviction!

Shen Nianqing's previously tense shoulders instantly relaxed.

She looked down at the red string on her left wrist and a faint smile appeared on her lips.

Holy crap!

Shen Xingzhou slapped his thigh and jumped up on the spot.

"Brother-in-law!"

"He's my brother-in-law's man!"

He turned to look at the bald bodyguard lying on the lawn groaning in pain, then at the fifty figures in dark red Taoist robes standing straight below the steps. The fear on his face was instantly replaced by ecstasy.

"Awesome!"

"My brother-in-law is awesome!"

Shen Xingzhou rushed down the steps, grabbed Lu Chen's arm, and was so excited that he was incoherent.

"Grandpa! Dad! Mom! Did you see that?! That's a real powerhouse!"

"What kind of junk did you hire for 70 million? It's not even as good as one of my brother-in-law's men!"

Shen Zhengting let out a long breath and slowly loosened his clenched fists.

Lin Ruolan's eyes reddened as she held her daughter's hand tightly.

The prayer beads in Zhou Shuhua's hand stopped spinning, she put her hands together and chanted Amitabha Buddha three times.

Shen Yingxue peeked out from behind the door, looked at the fifty menacing-looking people, then at Shen Nianqing, and couldn't say a word.

sense of security!

An unprecedented sense of security filled the entire Shen family.

The shadow of that three-meter-tall monster from last night was completely swept away at this moment.

Chen Xiaoyu stood at the top of the steps, hands on her hips, chest puffed out.

She raised her chin slightly, her pride impossible to hide.

"That's right!"

Chen Xiaoyu said loudly.

"My brother is extremely protective of his own!"

Lin Keke nodded frantically beside her, her eyes sparkling.

Lu Chen ignored Shen Xingzhou's pulling and gently shook his arm, knocking Shen Xingzhou's hand away.

"Mr. Chen has ordered that any evil spirits that dare to approach the Shen family within the Jiangcheng territory shall be killed without mercy."

Lu Chen's voice was hoarse.

"Miss Shen, we'll stay outside. Please rest assured."

Shen Nianqing nodded.

"Thank you for your hard work, old man."

Lu Chen turned around, preparing to arrange for the fifty men to be deployed.

"Hey, wait a minute!"

Shen Xingzhou moved closer again.

He looked Lu Chen up and down in his dark red Taoist robe, then glanced at the forty-nine disciples behind him carrying two swords, and clicked his tongue.

"Old man, let's make a deal."

Lu Chen stopped and turned to look at him.

"explain."

Shen Xingzhou pointed to their clothes.

"Your outfits are too eye-catching."

"This is modern society, and Jiangcheng is a metropolis. Fifty of you dressed in red robes and carrying swords are wandering around the courtyard. Anyone who didn't know better would think we were filming an ancient costume drama."

"If a passerby takes a picture and posts it online, it will become a trending topic again."

Shen Xingzhou rubbed his hands together.

"How about we change our clothes?"

Lu Chen frowned slightly.

The Taoist robes worn by the Punishment Hall represent the ruthless power of the Zhengyi sect.

But when he looked down, he realized that he was indeed out of place in this European-style villa.

Mr. Chen had instructed that the guards should protect the Shen family and not cause them any trouble.

"Can."

Lu Chen nodded.

"Change to what?"

"Suit!"

Shen Xingzhou's eyes lit up, and he snapped his fingers.

"Black suit! White shirt! Black sunglasses!"

"With your physique and presence, you'd be a hundred times better than those foreign mercenaries in suits!"

Shen Xingzhou turned and shouted at the butler.

"Uncle Liu!"

"Contact the best haute couture clothing store in Jiangcheng immediately!"

"Call all the tailors over to our house!"

"Made to order! Buy the most expensive one! Swipe my card!"

Lu Chen did not refuse.

As long as it doesn't interfere with drawing the sword, it doesn't matter what you wear.

Five minutes later, the twelve heavily hired Iron Wall bodyguards helped each other to their feet.

The bald man clutched his broken forearm, his face ashen.

Shen Xingzhou walked over and patted the bald man on the shoulder.

"Brother, I'll pay the penalty for breach of contract. You can book your tickets and go home now."

The bald man glanced at the row of red-clad men standing in the distance, swallowed hard, and limped away with his men.

……

Jiangcheng, Cloud Club.

The most secret private room at the deepest part of the top floor.

Three people were sitting on the sofa.

Lu Zhenting, the head of the Lu family.

He Hong, the head of the He family.

Zhou Deming, the head of the Zhou family.

The heads of Jiangcheng's top families have gathered together at this moment.

There was neither tea nor wine on the table.

There were only three thick document folders.

The air pressure inside the room was extremely low, and even breathing sounded heavy.

Lu Zhenting's fingers, which were holding a cigar, trembled slightly.

"Finished watching?"

He Hong threw the documents in his hand on the table and took a deep breath.

"The information coming from the outer members of Tian Shu is absolutely reliable."

Zhou Deming crossed his hands, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged.

"Nine fully armed retired special forces soldiers from overseas went into the convention center with C4 explosives to steal things."

"They were attacked by four Taoist priests, who didn't even manage to hurt a hair on their heads, but crippled all four of their limbs and threw them on the ground."

Lu Zhenting took a deep drag on his cigar.

"What's this?"

He pointed to the second document.

"Last night, at the Shen family villa in the western suburbs."

"The detectors at the Tian Shu branch detected an A+ level energy burst—that's bizarre! You all know what that is, right?"

Lu Zhenting stared at the other two.

"When the people from Tian Shu arrived, that A+ level monster had turned into a clump of ash."

"He was struck down by a bolt of pure white lightning from the sky and instantly turned to ashes!"

He Hong then spoke.

"At the same time, the ring road."

"Qi Liancheng, the son of that old man from the Qi family, and the evil Taoist priest he invited."

"The person and the car were completely wiped out by another bolt of lightning."

"The Qi family held a funeral overnight, but they didn't even have an urn to bury the ashes; they could only bury a few pieces of clothing!"

The private room fell silent once again.

Families of their stature, with their profound heritage, naturally had contact with Tian Shu.

They also knew that strange things and supernatural abilities were hidden in the world.

It is precisely because they know this that they are even more terrified.

"Thunder Magic".

Zhou Deming gritted his teeth and spat out two words.

"Taoist thunder magic."

"Moreover, it is a lightning technique that can simultaneously traverse more than ten kilometers and precisely eliminate targets."

"Could that old sect leader of Longhu Mountain do it?"

Lu Zhenting shook his head.

"I can't do it."

"I asked the higher-ups at Tian Shu, and they said that no one in the world can match this level of lightning magic."

The three exchanged a glance, and in each other's eyes they saw a deep fear.

The mysterious son-in-law of the Shen family.

That young man named Chen Shidu.

The first time, they sent fifty million Taiyi Star Papers, escorted by nine Taoist priests dressed in robes made using lost techniques.

The second time, they sent the Seven Star Lamp, the foremost of the four sacred artifacts of Taoism, which drove away all those who coveted it.

The third time, a heavenly thunderbolt swept across the land, annihilating the A+ level monster and conveniently eliminating the eldest son of the Qi family.

Even this morning.

Fifty Taoist priests in red robes appeared at Jiangcheng Airport and headed straight for the Shen family.

"Wearing a red Taoist robe and carrying two swords on his back."

He Hong's voice was strained.

"The person who opened that door is clearly not an ordinary person!"

"Right now, these fifty men are working as security guards for the Shen family."

Lu Zhenting stubbed out his cigar in the ashtray.

"Just who is this son-in-law of the Shen family?!"

"His position within the Taoist sect is absolutely terrifyingly high!"

"An elder? The head disciple? Or perhaps a true disciple of some reclusive, powerful being?"

Zhou Deming suddenly stood up.

"No matter who he is, he's not someone we can afford to offend!"

"This is the fate of the Qi family!"

"Qi Liancheng only wanted to target the Shen family, but he didn't even get inside their gates before he was gone!"

He Hong also stood up, his face ashen.

"We must not antagonize them."

"We absolutely must not antagonize the Shen family!"

Lu Zhenting braced his hands on the table, his eyes fierce.

"We not only cannot become enemies, but we also have to apologize."

He stared intently at He Hong and Zhou Deming.

"Don't forget what those brats of ours were doing at the Shen family's doorstep when the first betrothal gifts arrived!"

"What did they say at the tasting event at the convention center?"

He Hong and Zhou Deming both gasped for breath.

On the first day, the second young master of the Lu family, the eldest grandson of the He family, and the young master of the Zhou family mocked Chen Xiaoyu at the entrance of the Shen family's residence.

The next day, at the convention center, the three of them followed Pei Jingchuan again, waiting to see the Shen family's betrothal gifts become a laughing stock.

Cold sweat instantly soaked the backs of the three family heads.

"These damned beasts!"

Lu Zhenting slammed his hand on the table, making the teacups jump around.

"They want to die, but don't drag their entire family down with them!"

"Go to the Shen family immediately!"

"We'll come to your door to apologize!"

He Hong took out his phone, his fingers trembling.

"right."

"Now."

"immediately."

Zhou Deming yelled at the bodyguards outside the door.

"Someone come here!"

The bodyguard pushed open the door and entered.

"go!"

Zhou Deming pointed outside the door, his eyes bloodshot.

"Tie those brats up and bring them here right now!"
