Chapter 362: Cleaning Out the Family

In the quiet depths of the inner chambers.

A woman of noble bearing sat before a bronze mirror, holding a slightly long jade ruyi in her hand, while a young Miss knelt upright before her: "Ask him if he has any business; if not, get out of the Wang Fu."

"..." The bald man looked outside.

In the courtyard, an old man clad in black armor was pacing back and forth, his face twisted into a stiff smile.

"He just wants to protect this young girl; let him be. The real matter is more important." The bald man withdrew his gaze.

"Hah, a mere black-skinned man from the Zhen Mo Si, does he deserve to manage the affairs of our Wang Fu? Then let him stay."

The Ji Wang Fei casually waved the jade object before the young Miss's eyes, as if training a weak little cat.

She had done such things far too many times.

So much so that she felt somewhat weary, unable to find the initial thrill of revenge no matter what.

She truly had no interest in the Ji Wang anymore.

His absurd behavior over these years had completely disqualified him from inheriting the throne.

Chen Jinyu has gone to the Xuan Guang Cave; he will likely never become the Emperor of Great Qian again.

The only thing that could excite her now was what substantial reward this great merit would bring.

"When exactly can I enter the Xuan Guang Cave to cultivate?"

The bald man gritted his teeth.

"What are you in such a rush for?" The Ji Wang Fei glanced at him slowly and calmly.

"Of course I'm in a rush!" The bald man cautiously looked behind him, then shouted angrily: "Wumiao Zhu is already investigating this matter; if I don't leave soon, I will eventually be discovered, and my life will be in danger then!"

As he spoke, his eyes widened: "You wouldn't have taken my share of the merit..."

You must know that regarding this matter, he had taken enormous risks just to learn about the Xu family.

"Shut up."

The Ji Wang Fei slowly raised the jade ruyi and pointed it at him, smiling lightly: "Your life isn't the only one in danger; this time we returned, and for the Wumiao to still gather four Miao Zhu is already a miracle where the ancestral grave emits green smoke; where would they have time to care about you?"

"So serious?"

The bald man was startled.

"You have stayed in this barren land for too long; how would you know what kind of existence the Xuan Guang Cave is?"

The Ji Wang Fei stood up and patted the young Miss's face with the jade object: "Get out, it's boring."

Chen Jinyu stumbled to her feet, her knees, which had been kneeling until nearly numb, trembling like a sieve; her small face was pale, her eyes vacant, clearly her mind was not in the Ji Wang Fu.

She could not understand what she had done wrong.

Her mother died tragically.

Her brother and she had grown up in Boyun County, Qingzhou, on the border since childhood; only by her brother's sole effort raising them could the two survive to this day.

She had never done anything bad; she only washed clothes for the my lords inside the Zhen Mo Si, washing them very cleanly, and never took an extra coin.

Why then did they harm her brother to this extent, leaving his life or death unknown to this day?

Chen Jinyu stumbled towards the door.

Then she froze in place.

The Ji Wang Fei watched the young Miss's stopped back, frowned slightly, and said dissatisfied: "Why don't you get out quickly?"

Before her words ended, she suddenly noticed Jin Guang falling upon the young Miss, passing over her fragile body and casting into the room, until the entire inner chamber was illuminated brilliantly.

The Ji Wang Fei hesitated for an instant, glanced at the bald man beside her, and then they both walked towards the door without agreement.

Immediately after, their pupils dilated, seeing the most terrifying scene of their lives.

They saw above the sky of the Wang Fu.

Twelve Golden Bodies, each three zhang tall, surrounded in an orderly ring, while the Shenxu Laozu of the Wumiao, six zhang tall, stood with arms crossed.

Amidst this cluster of Golden Bodies, a dark golden Zhen Yu Dharma Image looked down like Gaoshan, its enormous face carrying an unassailable majesty.

Outside the inner chambers, purple-gold flames surged upward.

Turning the entire Wang Fu into a sea of fire.

In that fire sea where light and dark interlaced, a young man in black robes walked out slowly with Chen Ji.

His handsome face entered the Ji Wang Fei's vision.

Causing her to stare blankly for a moment: "Shen... Inspector... why have you come to my residence?"

At the instant she saw all the Golden Body Dharma Images gathered, the Ji Wang Fei had already realized something.

Surrounded by the sea of fire, yet feeling as if falling into an ice cave.

Feeling the scorching heat that almost melted her, she finally could not help but shout: "I am the Ji Wang Fei... No! I am a disciple under the Xuan Guang Cave; how dare you be so presumptuous?!"

A title that was usually invincible, representing the world's top immortal sect behind it.

Even the Wumiao would not dare to act rashly!

But at this moment, the Ji Wang Fei could not find the slightest fluctuation on the faces of those Golden Body Dharma Images.

They were like deities, looking at her indifferently, as if looking at a corpse.

Under such a posture, even the palace buildings of the imperial city were silent, with no one daring to step out through that palace gate.

Great Qian is the Wumiao's Great Qian.

"Come here."

Shen Yi waved his hand.

Chen Jinyu finally came to her senses under this terrifying scene.

She hurriedly took steps.

In her panic, she completely failed to notice that the moment she stepped, the inner chambers behind her were suddenly enveloped by purple-gold flames.

Those flames, like living creatures, surged into the mouths and noses of the Ji Wang Fei and the bald man.

The two figures looked like evil ghosts, their finger bones straining outward as if wailing like drowning men.

The Wang Fu Wang Fei could not understand at all why this youth showed no fear of the Profound Light Cave, ignored evidence, and had not even looked her directly in the eye from start to finish; even the crowd in the Wumiao before her watched him strike down to kill without blinking.

Fortunately, this doubt soon vanished.

In the span of a single breath, she had disappeared into the sea of fire, her very bones melted away.

Chen Ji finally caught his sister, but there was no time for greetings.

Instead, he stared in terror at the scene before him.

He had thought that Shen Lord's status was extremely high, his strength formidable, and that he would surely help him retrieve his sister.

But he never imagined.

That the other party would openly burn a Wang Fei to death right within the Imperial City.

And even now, not a single person dared to speak up and disturb him.

"Cry slowly, no rush."

Shen Yi glanced at Chen Jinyu, then patted Chen Ji's shoulder: "Live here from now on. I have other matters."

Upon hearing these words, everyone watching nearby opened their mouths slightly.

Even A Qing, who was closest to Shen Yi, had never heard such teasing words from Shen Big Brother before.

In her heart, the other party was always the image of ruthless killing and a lack of smiles.

Shen Yi nodded to Old Master Chen Qiankun beside him, who was already dazed by shock: "I owe you a debt."

Only then did he walk toward the outside of the Wang Fu.

By the time his figure vanished from sight, the Yaksha Dharma Image transformed into Jin Zhu; Master Zhu Jue floated down, looked at Chen Ji thoughtfully, and finally turned his gaze toward Chen Qiankun.

At least the Profound Armor on this person could still indicate some status.

"This General, I have not yet asked your honorable surnames?"

"No! You misunderstand." Chen Qiankun hurriedly waved his hands: "That kid just has this temper; it is truly not because I have any ability. I am just an old man responsible for watching the river in Outside Qingzhou."

"I am merely a servant under Shen Lord." Chen Ji also shook his head to deny it.

This group clearly had an extraordinary status and were not of the same level as him and the others.

Seeing the crowd's confused expressions, Chen Jinyu whispered: "Shen Lord was previously the Head Constable of our Boyun County..."

It would have been better if she had not said that.

Before Da Gan and the others could react, several elders of the Xu family already had cold sweat on their foreheads.

Head... Head Constable?!

Since when did Great Qian become so wealthy that a Soul Transformation True Person was sent to guard a county town in his youth?

No wonder they declined; with such poor judgment and such a degree of waste, it would be strange if they could recover.
