The next morning, Chen Lingjun got up early. Today was the last day of the Lantern Festival and he couldn't miss it.

The surprise was that Chen Yanran was not in good spirits today and looked like she had kidney deficiency, so she did not go with them. She only sent some guards.

"Sir, I am the daughter of Linqin, the commander of the city defense army. Would you mind getting to know me?"

As soon as I walked out onto the street, a woman in a flowery gown came over and started a conversation.

Chen Lingjun took a look and said, "Not interested."

The woman in the flowery gown felt humiliated, but she didn't get angry. She just left in a huff.

After that, every few minutes someone would come and chat with us, and we couldn't get rid of them, causing the whole street to be extremely crowded.

There was really no other way, Chen Lingjun could only ask the guards to drive them away, so that he could have some peace and quiet.

"I heard that the Gu family was wiped out yesterday."

"It must be fake. The Gu family is the largest family in Yongji City, and they have two cave heaven masters. Who has such ability?"

"Really? My uncle-in-law is from the City Lord's Mansion. It is said that there are corpses everywhere in the Gu Mansion. That scene is so ugly."

"Rumor has it that Miss Gu Xuejian of the Gu family had her head chopped off and her body could not be found."

"It seems that things are going to change in Yongji City."

…………

Chen Lingjun listened to the news carefully, and his heart was suddenly filled with turbulent waves.

The Gu family was wiped out? Gu Xuejian died?

Chen Lingjun vaguely felt that this matter was related to Chen Yanran, and it was even she who did it.

A man in leather jacket once said that there are no coincidences in the world, only long-planned conspiracies.

"Even people in the Cave Heaven Realm could not escape his clutches. It seems that Chen Yanran's cultivation is at least at the Spiritual Soul Realm."

This news was very important to Chen Lingjun, as he no longer had any clue about Chen Yanran.

"That's him. Take him away."

At this time, a group of soldiers came towards Chen Lingjun aggressively and wanted to arrest him without any explanation.

"Sister Guan, I don't know what crime I have committed. Why are you arresting me?"

Chen Lingjun saw through at a glance that the leading soldier was only at the fifth level of Qi training, and the rest were just trash at the third or fourth level of Qi training.

I am more than capable of dealing with them myself.

"Stop talking nonsense. I now suspect that you are a spy from the Wujin Kingdom. Take you away!" said the leading soldier viciously.

"Qiang!"

The moment the soldiers' hands touched Chen Lingjun, the guards drew the blades at their waists and several pairs of severed hands flew up.

Fast! Too fast.

Before anyone present could figure out what was happening, several soldiers fell to the ground, wailing.

"Ah! You dare to attack the officers and soldiers? You are dead." Even after his hands were chopped off, the officers and soldiers did not forget to threaten.

The two guards walked out of the line, ignored them, and chopped off the heads of all the officers and soldiers with two swords.

During the process, the guards did not say a word and their faces were covered by masks, making them look like killing machines.

Chen Lingjun did not say anything to stop them, because he knew that the guards would only obey Chen Yanran's orders and would not listen even if he said something.

"It's over. They actually dared to kill government officials."

"Young Master Chen is so pretty, he will definitely suffer a lot in prison."

…………

After such a commotion, Chen Lingjun no longer wanted to continue shopping and prepared to return home. (It was definitely not because he was afraid of trouble from the government)

"Donor, please stay."

At this time, a nun in a yellow robe called Chen Lingjun.

When Chen Lingjun saw that it was a nun, he did not dare to be negligent and quickly bowed and saluted.

"Excuse me, Master, what can I do for you?"

Buddhism! The absolute dominant force of the Tianfeng Dynasty, with countless disciples spread across every corner.

It’s just that Buddhism does not participate in secular conflicts and rarely appears in people’s field of vision.

This also led to people frequently questioning the strength of Buddhism, believing it to be just for show, and as a result, they all went to see Ksitigarbha.

"I am Huikong, a nun. May I ask, sir, who are these people?" Huikong asked, putting her hands together.

"They are all guards in my mansion, and they are usually responsible for security work." Chen Lingjun said, pointing at the guards.

"Is that so? Amitabha! Sorry to bother you, benefactor." After hearing this, Huikong did not ask any further questions and said goodbye and left.

"Buddha have mercy on me! Master, take care and come to my house for tea when you have time."

Chen Lingjun clasped his hands together, pretended to salute, and then quickly left under the protection of the guards.

You have to be brave. What if the people from the City Lord's Mansion come to kill you and Chen Yanran is not around? Then you'll be doomed.

Let’s go back home first and leave the rest to Chen Yanran.

"A corpse puppet from the Cave Heaven Realm and a young man with such a strong Yang Yuan aura, I want to see who this Chen Mansion is."

Huikong held a six-ring staff in his hand and slowly moved the Buddhist beads with one hand.

Chen Lingjun left a very good impression on her. Not only was he extremely handsome, but his personal cultivation was also top-notch.

It would be great if we could persuade her to convert to Buddhism and practice with her.

…………

After returning home, Chen Lingjun told Chen Yanran everything, but the latter didn't care and asked him to go back to his room and rest.

"It seems that the plan needs to be brought forward and we should start tonight." Chen Yanran originally wanted to wait until Chen Lingjun's Yang Yuan became stronger, but this good disciple was too charming and caused trouble everywhere.

I even had an intersection with a Buddhist just now. In order to avoid any further complications, it is better to make plans in advance.

It was soon night, and Chen Lingjun had just finished bathing and was getting ready to go to bed.

Bang!

The door was suddenly pushed open by a figure. Chen Lingjun looked and saw that the person was his master Chen Yanran.

But at this time, Chen Yanran was in a very miserable state, with disheveled hair, tattered clothes, and blood at the corners of her mouth.

But it still can't hide her beautiful face.

"Master, what's wrong with you?" Chen Lingjun was shocked. Who could beat her like this? She hurried over to support her.

"Disciple, the City Lord's Mansion brought people to kill us. The guards suffered heavy casualties. I was defeated and was also seriously injured by them."

Chen Yanran frowned, her breathing became rapid, and the black flame on her forehead also dimmed a lot.

Chen Lingjun quickly helped her sit on the bed, opened the door and observed the situation outside.

I saw the guards fighting hard with a group of soldiers, and the situation was very critical.

"wrong!"

Chen Lingjun keenly realized that something was wrong, and the sound of fighting started almost instantly.

If the City Lord's Mansion really sent troops to attack, he should have heard it earlier anyway.

Also, according to his inference, Chen Yanran was at least at the Spiritual Realm.

In this remote and backward Yongji City, there are only a handful of people who have reached the Cave Heaven Realm. How could someone actually be able to injure him?

Could it be...

"Master, what should we do now? How about we run away?" Chen Lingjun picked up the towel and gently wiped the blood from the corner of Chen Yanran's mouth.

Hmm..., this towel seems to be used for bathing. Never mind.

"You can't escape. The City Lord's Mansion has already set up a dragnet outside."

Chen Yanran felt Chen Lingjun's thoughtful service, and a trace of pity flashed through her heart, but it quickly disappeared.

"What should we do then?" Chen Lingjun looked horrified.

"Disciple, there is only one way, and we need you to help us escape." Chen Yanran held Chen Lingjun's hands with her backhand.

Finally, the day has come...
