Xiao Mingsheng looked at Feng Xingyao with an ambiguous expression and asked tentatively, "Where are you from, Master Feng?"

"The upper realm." Feng Xingyao smiled slightly, his expression calm.

"Oh?" Xiao Mingsheng narrowed his eyes and wanted to ask how Feng Xingyao and Yan'er knew each other, but he changed his mind and thought that if he asked now, it might cause unnecessary trouble.

In the end, he just said, "You and Yan'er should come to the District Lord's Mansion more often in the future."

Feng Xingyao nodded and smiled: "Yes."

Xiao Mingsheng looked at Uncle Zeng and other senior officials, and slowly said, "I have a close relationship with your Highness. She now recognizes me as her uncle. Therefore, our District Lord's Mansion is willing to form an alliance with the Shen Mansion to work together to completely expel the substance "Black Water" from the Ninth District. As for the chaos in the Colosseum, you, the Shen Mansion, will handle it on your own."

When these words were spoken, the old ministers were shocked.

Was the matter resolved peacefully like this?

Upon hearing this, Uncle Zeng lowered his head slightly and said, "Lord Xiao, don't worry, our Shen Mansion will take care of the rest!"

Xiao Mingsheng nodded.

Afterwards, Chen Yan and others personally escorted Xiao Mingsheng out of the Chen Mansion.

When the practitioners saw them coming out, they immediately became excited again.

"District Master Xiao, you have to uphold justice for us!"

"All our relatives have died because of this premeditated Colosseum. Why should the Shen family just sit on the sidelines? They must compensate us with spirit stones!"

"One million high-grade spirit stones! Not a single one can be missing!"

"The injuries we've sustained from the black water are getting worse! I heard there's no cure for this kind of injury. In the end, our bodies will become the black water's nourishment, leading to our death!"

The practitioners shouted with red eyes.

Suddenly, Xiao Mingsheng's majestic voice sounded.

"quiet!"

For a moment, everyone present fell silent. Everyone looked up at Xiao Mingsheng. At the same time, they also noticed the girl in purple beside Xiao Mingsheng. A trace of doubt arose in their hearts. Who is this?

Xiao Mingsheng announced grimly, "Regarding the subsequent compensation for the Colosseum Blackwater Incident, the Shen Mansion will be responsible for handling it, and this district master will personally supervise it."

Hearing this, the practitioners looked at each other with changing expressions.

District Master Xiao doesn't intend to intervene in this matter forcibly?

What did District Master Xiao talk about with the people from the Shen Mansion? Did the people from the Shen Mansion bribe District Master Xiao?

Just as everyone was about to express their dissatisfaction, Uncle Zeng stepped forward and said with a serious face, "Everyone, that woman previously impersonated our Highness for over thirty years, and we in the Shen family suffered greatly from her. Now, the one standing here is the true Highness of our Shen family—Chen Ke."

"From now on, His Highness will have full authority over our Shen Mansion."

As the words fell, everyone showed shocked expressions. They looked at Chen Yan in doubt and looked at him carefully.

Why does this real Prince Shen look so young?

Someone sneered, "She is Shen Ke? She doesn't look like her at all! Could it be that you, the Shen family, just picked someone randomly to fool us?"

"That's right, don't think we will believe it!"

"I think you, the Shen family, are deliberately putting on this show for us just to shirk your responsibilities!"

Suddenly, District Master Xiao interrupted them and said, "I can prove her identity. She is Chen Ke."

Everyone was suddenly stunned, looking stunned.

At this time, the purple-clothed girl glanced coldly at the practitioners present and said, "I am Chen Ke. Our Shen Mansion promises to make appropriate compensation. We will also send people to do our best to heal your injuries. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can raise it, and we will handle it as appropriate. However, we will definitely not tolerate anyone who makes trouble because of this matter, so don't try to provoke us."

District Master Xiao said, "Just listen to her."

Everyone: “…”

Without District Master Xiao to boost their morale, their arrogance was immediately suppressed by the Shen Mansion, and the Shen Mansion also dealt with the follow-up matters of the Colosseum disaster with thunder-like means.

Compensation for this compensation.

For those practitioners who are injured by black water, the Shen Mansion will also send doctors to remove the black water for them.

…

The Colosseum incident in District 9 caused a huge uproar and attracted the attention and discussion of all parties.

Many forces were also ready to make a move, but before they had the chance to suppress the Shen Mansion, they were surprised to find that the Shen Mansion actually turned around and cooperated with the District Lord's Mansion.

This news quickly spread throughout District 9.

And the news about the fake prince of the Shen Mansion also spread.

Those who had previously had close ties with the "fake prince" believed that the Shen family had conspired with District Master Xiao to frame the "fake prince." They angrily declared that if the Shen family did not kill the current prince and welcome the "fake prince" back, they would no longer maintain friendly relations with the Shen family and might take retaliatory actions.

The Shen family has yet to make a statement.

It gives people a guilty feeling.

Therefore, these forces are clamoring even louder.

Some forces did become friendly with the Shen family because of the 'Fake Prince', so they did not want the 'Fake Prince' to fall. To some extent, this had already infringed upon their own interests.

Therefore, if they want to maintain their own interests, they must ensure that the "fake prince" returns to power so that their previous efforts and costs will not be wasted.

Some forces also choose to befriend His Highness...

This incident caused a lot of uproar, and it was two days later that the Shen family responded.

——Hunting down the fake prince with all our strength!

Such a decisive response surprised many people.

On the same day, the Shen Mansion and the District Lord's Mansion took joint action and dispatched personnel to post wanted notices in every corner of the Ninth District, and at the same time issued a notice prohibiting the refining of black water.

The reward for the wanted order is: two million high-quality spirit stones!

Such a high bounty amount has made many practitioners eager to take action.

Most of the cultivators who were able to stay in the Ninth District were desperate criminals, and they were very interested in this wanted order.

But what was unexpected was that the next day, an even more shocking news came.

Someone offered a bounty of 20 million high-grade spirit stones for the head of the current prince of the Shen Mansion.

This number was so huge that the entire dark world was shocked.

For a time, not only those independent cultivators were excited, but even many large and small forces also focused their attention on Chen Yan.

After all, the allure of these 20 million high-grade spirit stones was too great, enough to drive people crazy. For an individual, this sum of spirit stones could allow him to ascend to heaven in one leap, achieving a comeback in life; for an entire faction, it could even bring about earth-shaking changes!

Since the bounty was issued, many people with ill intentions have been lurking around the Shen Mansion, waiting for an opportunity to strike. Some bold killers even tried to force their way into the Shen Mansion and take Shen Yan's life.

However, all these killers who broke in by force were killed without exception.
