Chapter 38

"Lord of the house is dead!"

"You killed the lord of the house?!"

"How dare you kill the lord of the house!"

The several guards of the Chen family, upon seeing Chen Jinan fall in a pool of blood, were all stunned. Then they all looked at Fang Ling with a mix of disbelief and confusion.

In their eyes, Chen Shengnan in Dinging City was like a god!

Chen Shengnan's power in Dinging City was absolute!

But at this moment, this omnipotent person was actually dead.

And the one who killed him was the young man standing right before them!

Fang Ling looked at the guards, gave a cold laugh, and a thought flashed through his mind. The Xuan Yin Dao, which was connected to his mind, slashed toward the guards like lightning.

"Thud, thud, thud"

The blade flashed, and the guards were all cut into two pieces.

Fang Ling raised his hand and recalled the Xuan Yin Dao. Facing the fallen Chen Shengnan and others, he felt a third of his anger dissipate.

At this time, many servants of the Fang family had gathered around Fang Ling. They all stared in shock, completely stunned.

As residents of Dinging City, how could they not know the power of the Chen family? Now, the lord of the Chen family had actually been killed by their young master.

This outcome they had not expected, but it was a cold, hard fact.

Fang Ling glanced at the thin monkey standing to the side and said in a deep voice, "Dazhuang, take the gold from the warehouse. Five hundred taels for each person. After receiving it, leave the Fang family immediately."

The thin monkey wanted to say something, but Fang Ling's resolute gaze made him swallow his words.

In the messy courtyard, only Fang Ling and Hua Shuying remained.

Just as Fang Ling was about to tell Hua Shuying his plans, she gently walked up to him.

She extended a hand, as if carved from white jade, and gently touched Fang Ling's hair, a smile appearing on her face.

"Sister has always been reluctant for Xiaoling to grow up, but my Xiaoling has finally grown up!" Hua Shuying's words were filled with relief, joy, and a hint of indescribable bitterness.

Hua Shuying's words made Fang Ling pause. His heart felt warm, but there was also an unusual feeling.

"Yingjie, people always grow up!"

"Xiaoling, do you know? Your angry killing today was very attractive to me." Hua Shuying said this, lightly wiping her face with her sleeve, and smiled, "With my Xiaoling's talent, in the future, many beautiful girls will be moved by you!"

As she spoke, Hua Shuying chuckled.

But following the laughter were two unshed tears.

Hua Shuying forced back her inner sorrow, preventing the tears from falling. She took a deep breath and said, "Xiaoling, Chen Shengnan deserved to die. Although he had power and people, he still had to curry favor with Qing Luo. I will talk to Qing Luo, and this matter can be suppressed."

Talk to Qing Luo? Qing Luo is not a charity, why would he listen to Hua Shuying? Why would he heed her words?

Fang Ling could not be fooled by this.

Looking at Hua Shuying, who seemed more delicate than a flower, Fang Ling felt a greater admiration.

Hua Shuying was preparing to sacrifice herself to help him.

In an instant, Fang Ling felt that the last bit of distance between him and Hua Shuying had completely disappeared.

"Shuyingjie, since you say I have grown up, let me handle this. I can deal with Chen Shengnan, and that Qing Luo..."

"Who?" Fang Ling said coldly, interrupting himself.

"Master, Miss, it's me." The thin monkey walked in from outside and said in a deep voice.

Fang Ling looked at the thin monkey and said calmly, "Why haven't you left?"

"Master, since you saved me from the hands of Huwei Martial Hall, I, the thin monkey, have decided that my life belongs to you. Now that our Fang family is in the most critical time, although I have no great abilities, I can still risk my life!"

The thin monkey said this and suddenly knelt down, "Please allow me, the thin monkey, to share the fate of the Fang family!"

Seeing the thin monkey's agitated expression, Fang Ling felt a bit moved.

But after a moment's hesitation, Fang Ling hardened his heart.

He was not distrustful of the thin monkey, but the secret realm of the West Suburb Zoo was better known by as few people as possible!

"Dazhuang, I understand your intentions, but you should still follow my instructions. Don't worry, I will bring you back one day."

Saying this, Fang Ling took out two bottles of pills from his spatial bag, "Take these two bottles of Jin Jing Pills for now. They should be enough for you to break through to the fourth level of Qi Cultivation."

The thin monkey was about to refuse, but Fang Ling continued firmly, "Take advantage of the chaos in Dinging City and leave quickly!"

"Master, I will go to other cities to hide. As soon as I hear that you and Miss have returned to Dinging City, I will come back immediately."

The thin monkey left with reluctance, looking back every few steps.

"Dazhuang is a good person, Xiaoling, in a few days..."

Hua Shuying's words were cut off as Fang Ling pulled her to the back yard. As he unfolded the West Suburb Dust Map, the hidden space of the West Suburb Zoo appeared before them.

Hua Shuying was familiar with the back yard, but she never expected such a space to be hidden there.

"Xiaoling, this is..."

"Yingjie, this is a small space. Let's go in!" As he spoke, Fang Ling pulled Hua Shuying into the space.

Fang Ling was very familiar with the West Suburb Zoo space, knowing exactly where the pitfalls and spatial cracks were.

Pulling Hua Shuying to his alchemy platform, Fang Ling smiled, "Yingjie, although this space is not large, as long as we hide here, the Chen family will never find us."

At first, Hua Shuying's face was full of surprise, but hearing Fang Ling's words, she smiled happily.

If there were no other options, she would never have said those words.

There is always a way out!

"Let's wait here. I don't believe those people will keep watching our house. Once the storm passes, we can move to another place." Hua Shuying's face showed even more joy at the end.

Fang Ling nodded, but he did not fully relax. Hua Shuying did not know the abilities of cultivators, but he had a good understanding.

Although the West Suburb Zoo was hidden, it could not completely isolate cultivators, especially those like Senior Brother Ma, who were at the Foundation Establishment stage. Moreover, there was the talisman placed on Hua Shuying by Qing Luo.

However, these were not suitable to tell Hua Shuying. He smiled and introduced the West Suburb Zoo to her, pretending to be confident.

After this emotional rollercoaster, the tired Hua Shuying began to meditate on the cushion where Fang Ling usually practiced alchemy, while Fang Ling sat on a stone, quietly pondering the next steps.

Killing Chen Shengnan, he had no regrets.

It was a matter of life and death, and there could be no mercy!

The Chen family was now his greatest enemy, but the one who made him feel like a thorn in his throat was Qing Luo.

This person, whether in terms of background or methods, was far beyond the Chen family. If he kept hiding, then...

"Hmm!"

Fang Ling's ears suddenly perked up, hearing a rumbling sound from outside. He immediately leaped up and flew toward the exit.

With the refinement of the West Suburb Dust Map, Fang Ling's control over the West Suburb Zoo had greatly increased.

Standing at the exit, Fang Ling focused his gaze and saw that many people were standing in the Fang family's courtyard. A roaring voice echoed over the Fang family, "Find him! Dig up the ground if you have to, but find that boy from the Fang family!"

"Boom"

Three or four black-clad men, all at the fifth level of Qi Cultivation, acted simultaneously, and the main house where Hua Shuying lived instantly collapsed.

Many people were digging in the Fang family's courtyard, giving the impression of digging up the ground.

Compared to the roaring man, what caught Fang Ling's attention most was a purple-robed old man standing in the middle of the Fang family's courtyard. The old man did not say a word, but he exuded an aura of authority.

Could this be Chen Shengnan's eighth-level Qi Cultivation uncle?

Just as Fang Ling was about to take a closer look, the old man suddenly turned his head. His eyes looked directly at Fang Ling.

This made Fang Ling quickly avert his gaze, not daring to stare at the man.

When the man turned his gaze away, Fang Ling became even more certain of his identity.

"Seventh, stop roaring. This method won't work. Try to capture a batch of the neighbors and servants around the Fang family and see if there are any secret rooms!" The old man's voice was hoarse, like the sound of metal clashing.

Although Chen Shengtong roared loudly, his grief was minimal. Chen Shengnan's death brought him more joy than sorrow.

His anger was mostly for show.

"Yes, Ninth Uncle, but those neighbors..." Chen Shengtong did not continue, but his face showed a hint of difficulty.

The purple-robed old man smiled coldly, "What about the neighbors? Our Chen family's lord is dead. Why not take it out on them? Announce that if Fang Ling is not found by tomorrow morning, all the people within a mile of the Fang family will be killed!"

Chen Shengtong's heart tightened, but he still responded in a deep voice, "Nephew understands!"

The purple-robed old man hummed and then said with a murderous intent, "Tomorrow, I will use the blood of these people to tell the people of Dinging City, no, the entire Nanhua Continent, what the consequences of offending our Chen family are!
