Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!

"Madam, come closer and listen."

"I have a strategy that might increase our chances of winning."

Yi Chen's eyes flickered as a plan surged into his mind. He quietly transmitted his ideas to Madam Shuang, giving her instructions on the fly.

"Good! I'll follow your advice completely." Madam Shuang's eyes showed a color of hatred as she nodded in agreement. After changing her appearance, she was taken away by people summoned by Yi Chen under the pretext of a minor crime and sentenced to three years of mining labor.

Given Madam Shuang's recent entry into the True Person Realm and the secret techniques of the Yin Illusion Demonic Sect, coupled with his cover, Yi Chen was not worried about her exposing their tracks.

"Xu Xiaoxun."

Although the case had suddenly become clear, Yi Chen's mood did not have a trace of joy; on the contrary, he felt an inexplicably uncomfortable feeling.

For a moment, his desire for power grew even stronger.

If Xu Xiaoxun had the cultivation Yi Chen possessed now, would he have needed to resort to such a decisive and tragic method to seek justice for the deceased?

"Brother Xu is indeed admirable, but that is not my path."

"I hope 'Ten Thousand Transformations True Origin Great Qi' will take my True Technique to a higher level."

Thinking of the soon-to-be-obtained "Ten Thousand Transformations True Origin Great Qi," Yi Chen couldn't help but feel slightly uplifted.

To advance to the twelfth level of True Technique as soon as possible, after slaying those three Thousand Infant Ghost Spirits, he even suppressed the urge to continue improving the "Yin Yang Cave Divine Pupil Technique."

"Next, Zhang San."

"Someone, bring this man to me; just hearing his name irks me."

Playing the whole act to completion, Yi Chen still had to diligently carry on with the play, even after uncovering the truth about Tianfeng Prefecture.

The interrogations continued.

.....

.....

And so another day passed.

That day, Yi Chen did not make any other moves, but methodically collected information, interrogating those evildoers.

This allowed the major families, who were closely watching Yi Chen's actions, to relax their anxious hearts slightly.

The third day.

Miao Zi brought a small goldfish to Yi Chen's side.

This caused his expression to ripple with shock.

He knew the time had come.

This was the signal he had agreed upon with Madam Shuang.

It meant that Feng Linsu's forces had arrived nearby.

Yi Chen pushed open the window, and a gust of cold wind poured into the room.

At that moment, snowflakes had unexpectedly started to fall from the sky.

Master Li, with his neck shrunken, carrying a jug of warm wine, knocked on Yi Chen's door.

"Sir, this year's sudden spring cold is truly bizarre, bringing snow. It's cold out; please have some of this year's new wine to warm up before you continue your work."

Yi Chen, dressed in light clothing, his physique robust, stood immobile in front of the window like an anchor amidst the waves.

Hearing Master Li's words, Yi Chen turned around and flashed a grin, a white star twinkling at the corner of his mouth: "Indeed, Master Li, it is getting cold."

"Gather all the forces of Tianfeng Prefecture's Peacekeeping Division, we're surrounding the Huang family!"

As these words were spoken, it was as if a thunderbolt had struck the sky. The wine jug in Master Li's hand dropped to the floor. He knew that a change of power in Tianfeng Prefecture was imminent.

The Huang family was finished.

Although Master Li knew that the Huang family was backed by Prince Seven, after a few days of interaction, he knew that the man before him, Yi Chen, always planned thoroughly before acting.

The forces sent out by the Peacekeeping Division had already been recalled by Yi Chen under the guise of enforcing discipline the day before.

In the time it takes for a pot of tea to steep, all the troops were fully decked in armor, regrouped, and set out toward the Huang residence.

On their way, some people's faces turned pale at the sight of the procession and melted away into the crowd. Yi Chen turned a blind eye to this, and before long, they had surrounded the Huang residence tightly.

Standing again beneath the Huang family's archway, Yi Chen raised his voice and enunciated clearly, "A family that accumulates good deeds will reap continued blessings."

"The words are good, but the people, they do not match these words."

With a burst of golden force, the large archway collapsed with a thunderous crash.

The snow fell even heavier now.

Creak.

The grand doors of the Huang family's estate opened.

Family Head Huang walked out with a gloomy face.

"Sir, what is the meaning of this? Have I offended you in any way?"

"The world is large, and I cannot afford to offend you, but some can. Do not mistake my intentions."

An old slick was always an old slick, and right from the start, he framed Yi Chen's actions as a retaliatory attack.

Yi Chen was not annoyed by this but simply chuckled: "Family Head speaks well!"

As he spoke, Yi Chen climbed the steps, his True Technique surging, his left arm swelling enormously and turning a golden color as a dragon-shaped force appeared in the palm of his hand.

There was no reasoning in a prevailing wind.

Yi Chen chose to act directly!

Boom!

Family Head Huang's face showed terror as he desperately tried to muster his mana to form a four-sided green wind shield, but it was no match for Yi Chen's current strength.

He only felt an overwhelming force piercing through the mana shield, attacking him like a relentless disease, advancing toward him.

Hiss.

The sleeves Family Head Huang was pressing against the shield suddenly burst into shreds of cloth, and then the shield shattered, the residual force from the strike hitting him in the chest and sending him flying backward into the wall behind him, and then ricocheted out, vomiting a mouthful of blood in the process.

With one strike, Yi Chen defeated Family Head Huang, and the spirits of the Peacekeeping Division rose tremendously, with many displaying frenzied excitement on their faces.

"Surround the Huang residence completely, not even a chicken or a dog shall escape. Any who disobey will be put to death without mercy!"

"I'll have a chat with Family Head Huang."

Yi Chen indifferently took a black cloak from Master Li's hands and strode into the Huang residence. With a wave of his hand, the grand red doors closed instantly.

"Sir, I was wrong."

"If you have any demands, please just state them clearly." Family Head Huang struggled to his feet, bowing his head to conceal the fierce look in his eyes.
