The carriage rolled through the bluestone alley smoothly and comfortably, which was due to the driver's skilled craftsmanship, but also because pedestrians knew better and gave way.

After half an incense stick of time, the carriage stopped in front of a mansion and the gates opened and closed, but somehow, the numerous palace gates gave people a deep and eerie feeling.

"Is this the Qiu family's land?"

Chen Sheng got off the carriage and saw the mansion. He could tell that it was the accumulation of years of aristocratic family, but they didn't care. They had also destroyed the Taoist tradition that had been passed down for thousands of years, and they felt indifferent.

"Sir, this way please..."

It's funny, seeing him like this, the driver looked at him a little more highly, spoke with a hint of friendliness, and invited Chen in.

Mr. Chen noticed this change in mentality, but his emotions remained calm. He thought that people like him advanced by observing people's words and expressions. There was no need to care too much about such people.

"What's your master's name?"

He said calmly.

This question is somewhat funny, as the invited person does not even know the host's name. But considering what happened to Baibao Tower, such things that are obscured by mist are not uncommon.

"My surname is Ma, and my name is Xue Zheng."

When the master's name was mentioned, the driver showed fear on his face, and even when asking questions, he did not dare to be disrespectful.

"Son-in-law?"

Mr. Chen was stunned. It was really strange that a person with a different surname appeared in the Qiu family's territory.

"My Lord, be careful with your words."

The driver was shocked and didn't dare to say anything, as if the word "son-in-law" was some kind of taboo. However, he did not correct it, but acknowledged it.

"It's rare for a son-in-law to have such power among his enemies."

Mr. Chen exclaimed in amazement.

An outsider, who had such power among his enemies, became a little curious about Ma Xuezheng.

Then...

Mr. Chen came to a courtyard. The driver had already left quietly. He walked through the gate without any hesitation. When he turned around, he saw a middle-aged man.

This man looks heroic and strong, with bright eyes. He is dressed in elegant white clothes and is a very handsome man.

"Fellow Daoist, how is my foundation?"

The middle-aged man raised his eyes and looked at Chen Sheng with a kind smile on his face. He was somewhat similar to Qing Huo, the owner of Baibao Tower.

"Ma Xuezheng? The son-in-law of your enemy? Your foundation?"

Mr. Chen blurted out that he originally thought that this son-in-law was a big shot in the enemy's family, but he didn't expect that he had underestimated him. He actually occupied the magpie's nest and took control of the power of a big family.

"Hahaha, it's been a long time since I heard anyone call me the son-in-law."

Ma Xuezheng laughed loudly, but there was a deep feeling hidden in his laughter. At the end, he emphasized: "This is the first time. I hope that fellow Taoists will not have a next time."

The identity of a son-in-law is a lifelong worry for him. If there is a choice, who would want to be a son-in-law? The feeling of being inferior is not pleasant.

Therefore, he fought hard to climb up, even to the point of being above all his enemies. Anyone who dared to mention the past to his face would be beaten to death.

"You are an outsider, how could they agree to let you take charge of the power of their enemy?"

This is what Mr. Chen is curious about.

"I killed all those who opposed it."

Ma Xuezheng's answer was actually nothing new. He had killed so many members of the Qiu family in seven days that he couldn't even count them.

On the eighth day, this cleansed mansion welcomed a new owner, a son-in-law of a different surname, who took control of the power of his enemy.

"Is this also the method used by the Lord of the Burning City?!"

Chen Sheng could imagine that it would definitely be a bloody scene, and it would be difficult for Ma Xuezheng to accomplish it alone. Considering the rise of the Lord of Baibao Tower, the probability of the Lord of Burning City meeting his end was extremely high.

"He is my benefactor."

There was a hint of gratitude in Ma Xuezheng's words. Without this person's help, he would still be a son-in-law who had to depend on others for his favor.

"The Lord of the Burning City is quite a character."

From Qinghuo to the rise of Ma Xuezheng, the figure of the Lord of Burning City has always appeared, with a sense of guiding the people.

"Join us, and you will get the Thimble Chamber of Commerce, and become a wealthy man."

Ma Xuezheng extended his hand to Chen Sheng. As long as he accepted this kindness, the Dingzhen Chamber of Commerce would change hands, and the power of the entire Fencheng would fall into the hands of the Lord of Fencheng. They would be able to release terrifying power and plan for various places.

“No…”

Chen Sheng shook his head. People with different ideals cannot work together. Even if the Lord of Burning City is very skilled, the two of them will not be friends.

"You refuse?"

Ma Xuezheng's smile froze for a moment, he was even a little bit unbelievable, and asked again.

That was the goodwill of the Lord of Fencheng. As long as Mr. Chen nodded, the Dingzhen Chamber of Commerce would be his. Such a refusal was really shocking.

"I refuse."

Chen Sheng repeated it again. After finding out Ma Xuezheng's background and having a general understanding of the Lord of Burning City, he finally lost his patience and continued to argue, and walked towards the Qiu family's territory.

"He could have been a noble man, but he chose a dead end."

Ma Xuezheng did not try to persuade him to stay. His eyes became cold, as if he was looking at a dead person.

Such people may have great abilities, but they are arrogant because of their talents and will never be able to live a carefree life for long.

…

Thimble Chamber of Commerce.

"I heard that Mr. Chen was asked to leave by his enemy's master."

The news that Mr. Chen was picked up by his enemy's carriage in the streets of Fencheng spread like wildfire outside. Even Han Fang heard about it. He felt a little heavy in his heart and came to discuss it with Lu Shaoqing.

"Could it be him?"

Lu Shaoqing's first reaction was to wonder if Ma Xuezheng was the mastermind behind the targeting of Dingzhen Chamber of Commerce.

Han Fang rejected this possibility, saying, "He may have participated, but he definitely does not have the ability to embezzle the Dingzhen Chamber of Commerce."

President Lu Wangsheng was extremely capable and had a deep background like his enemy. Even when he encountered the powerful Dingzhen Chamber of Commerce at that time, he was unable to defeat it in one go.

"That……"

Hearing this, Lu Shaoqing became even more worried. If even his enemies were not enough to defeat the Dingzhen Chamber of Commerce, then how powerful would the mastermind behind the scenes be?

Finally, she asked in shock, "Mr. Chen has entered the Qiu family's territory. Will he be in danger?"

The methods used by those people are too horrible. Although Chen Sheng has great combat power, he is not invincible. If he is ambushed, he will still be defeated.

"This trip should be to win over others, nothing will happen."

Han Fang knew what was going on and advised, "Perhaps, we should consider that he will change his mind and attack us instead."

This possibility is not absent, and it is very high. The wealth of the Dingzhen Chamber of Commerce is too impressive.

"This...something that has never happened before cannot be doubted."

Lu Shaoqing believed in Chen Sheng. This man had saved her from the brink of death, and she couldn't help but have some trust in him.

"What are you talking about?"

At this time, Mr. Chen returned.

This trip had some twists and turns, but fortunately we did not gain nothing, as we found out the source of the crisis of the Dingzhen Chamber of Commerce.

"My lord, are you happy with your trip?"

Lu Shaoqing's clear eyes fell on Chen Sheng. Thinking of the invitation from his enemy, he asked in a casual tone.

"Are you talking about the matter of Baibaolou or the matter of the enemy?"

Chen Sheng saw that Lu Shaoqing was nervous, so he kept it a secret, but he also exposed Baibao Tower.

Lu Shaoqing was both surprised and happy. He was surprised that one enemy was not enough, and Baibaolou was also involved. The situation of Dingzhen Chamber of Commerce became more critical. He was happy that Chen Sheng was so calm and obviously did not accept the other party's kindness.

"Both families have one thing in common, they have a close relationship with the Lord of the Burning City."

Mr. Chen revealed a key point: Ma Xuezheng, the enemy, and Qing Huo of Baibao Tower, were both chosen by the Lord of Fencheng to swallow up their old bosses and then take over.

"So..."

Lu Shaoqing understood everything immediately and looked a little sad. He obviously thought of the mastermind behind the attack on Dingzhen Chamber of Commerce, who was indeed the Lord of Fencheng.

Moreover, this person's power is even more terrifying than she had imagined.

"call……"

After dozens of breaths, Lu Shaoqing calmed down, his eyes were firm, and he said: "Dingzhen Chamber of Commerce is my father's life's work, I will not let it fall from my hands."

No matter who wants to take away Dingzhen Chamber of Commerce, she will fight to the death with them.

"Let's go."

Mr. Chen admired this kind of ambition and decided to give this strong little girl some help.

"What?"

Lu Shaoqing was puzzled.

"Wake up the president, you are too immature."

During this trip, Chen Sheng found the Calming Bell, which has the power to look within the mind and break through obstacles. It is like a guiding light, which can guide Lu Wangsheng's spiritual wisdom to the right path and break the curse.

"ah?!"

Lu Shaoqing was dizzy, but he followed Chen Sheng closely and walked into a room. The middle-aged man lying on the bed was indeed the unconscious Lu Wangsheng.

"Sir, are you sure?"

Han Fang thought it through. He knew that Chen Sheng had withstood the scrutiny outside and had returned again, so he could trust him completely. However, he dared not make any mistakes when it came to the safety of the president, and he still had concerns.

"It should work."

Mr. Chen nodded.

"I believe you, just go ahead and do it."

In the end, it was Lu Shaoqing who spoke. Han Fang had no choice but to stand aside and leave all the space to Chen Sheng.

"Ding-ling-ling..."

Mr. Chen looked calm. He flipped his hand and a bell appeared. It was plain but had a unique charm.

He activated it, and the magic of the Calming Bell gradually revealed itself. The body of the instrument glowed with a hint of golden light, and the sound was crisp without a trace of noise. It calmed the mind and made people feel calm.

"Buzz"

Lu Wangsheng's confused mind suddenly moved, and he realized that he was in trouble. The surroundings were hazy, and he saw a golden light falling, and he followed it.

He was on the right path, but was eventually stopped. A talisman took effect, and lines intertwined and turned into an indestructible mountain.

"Is this... a curse? The president has indeed been ambushed."

Han Fang saw that a mysterious talisman was floating between Lu Wangsheng's eyebrows, suppressing his mind, causing his body to become unconscious and unable to wake up.

"Sir, can you break the curse?"

Lu Shaoqing looked at Chen Sheng excitedly, his eyes filled with unconcealable joy. Before, it had been a long time since his father woke up, but today, he finally saw the light of day.

"Don't worry."

Mr. Chen remained calm from beginning to end. The methods used by the Lord of the Burning City were indeed ingenious, but they were still within the range that he could handle.

"Ding-ling-ling..."

He rang the calming bell, and waves of clear sounds echoed in the room, like flowing water or a clear spring, cleansing Lu Wangsheng's mind.

Lu Wangsheng gradually regained consciousness, and one could even see his body trembling slightly, but the talisman was indeed stubborn and managed to stay stable just in case.

"The purpose of this magic weapon is still a bit narrow."

Chen Sheng took a look at the Calming Bell, which was a third-rank instrument. Activating it once a day could keep the mind clear and eliminate delusions, but its attacking power was too weak to do anything about the methods of the Lord of the Burning City.

"What should we do then?"

Han Fang said anxiously.

Lu Shaoqing's brows were tightly knitted together, with a hint of tears in his eyes, and he was obviously very worried.

"Simple!"

Chen Sheng was neither hurried nor slow. The Calming Bell was not useless. It forced the talisman out. What was missing was the finishing touch to smash it with great force.

“Boom…”

He let go of his mind, and a powerful mental power surged out from his sea of ​​consciousness. It was empty and invisible, and the thoughts were intangible, but it gave people a feeling of a vast ocean and surging waves.

Under this might, green mountains will be pushed down and even the most solid objects will be shattered.

"Could this person be in the late Jindan realm?"

Han Fang's heart was shaken, and he felt a sense of greatness. Facing this divine thought, he had no intention of resisting at all.

This showed that the gap between the two sides was so big that it could not be measured. When Chen Shengzhen killed Xiangyu before, he had estimated that this mysterious existence was at least in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm. But this time, his estimate was overturned and raised.

“So strong.”

Lu Shaoqing's eyes were shining. He had never seen a man as powerful as Chen Sheng, especially his aura, calmness and composure, as if he was not afraid of the sky falling.

"Edict!"

The room was quiet. Chen Sheng shouted, and a stream of spiritual thoughts, like thousands of rivers returning to the sea, hit the talisman.

There aren't too many twists and turns.

The golden talisman, as if made of polished glass, shattered in an instant, and a ray of spiritual light ran out from it, leaping with joy.

"cough"

Lu Wangsheng, who had been silent all the time, finally moved. He frowned, coughed lightly, and slowly opened his eyes.

"Father!"

“President…”

Lu Shaoqing and Han Fang were overjoyed and surrounded the bed, but they didn't make much noise, giving Lu Wangsheng some time to slowly wake up.

"Xiaoqing, you have suffered."

Lu Wangsheng lay on the bed for another half a quarter of an hour, his eyes completely clear. He knew that Lu Shaoqing must have been wronged after he fell down, and he couldn't help feeling distressed.

"Now that my father has woken up, all the sufferings are gone."

Lu Shaoqing cried and laughed. Ever since Lu Wangsheng fell, she had been under tremendous psychological pressure, which was something she had never experienced in her carefree days in the past. It was truly painful.

She was not afraid of this kind of suffering, but she was afraid that her father would fall seriously ill and she would be alone from then on, which would be miserable.

Fortunately, everything is over.

"Han Fang, did you manage to get down here?"

Lu Wangsheng patted Lu Shaoqing's hand, indicating that everything was fine, and then looked at Han Fang, full of relief.

He knew the methods of the Lord of Burning City too well. He was surprised to find that he could wake up and the Dingzhen Chamber of Commerce still existed.

"President, the Dingzhen Chamber of Commerce was able to survive this most dangerous period thanks to this young master."

Han Fang took a step back and said.
