Tinghe nodded, "That's right. The Spirit Heart Essence is extremely rare. With your talent in alchemy, becoming a ninth-grade alchemist is just around the corner. So I thought I'd get my hands on the Spirit Heart Essence for you."
“I took down the notice and went to the Chen residence with Yingxue. I cured the Chen family head’s illness as promised, but they went back on their word.”
"Not only did they not hand over the Spirit Heart Essence to us, but seeing that we were weak and easy to manipulate, they wanted me to stay in the Chen family and become their alchemist, to be at their beck and call."
"Of course I wouldn't agree, so they wanted to force us to stay and keep us trapped in the Chen residence for a long time. I don't believe we wouldn't agree if this continued."
"Yingxue and I found a chance to escape from the Chen residence, but they relentlessly pursued us and even set up this barrier to stop us."
"Fortunately, our lord appeared in time, otherwise we would have been captured and taken back by those treacherous villains from the Chen family," Tinghe said indignantly, looking quite angry.
"Don't be angry. The Chen family is so unethical. They will be punished for their behavior. Tonight, you lead the way, and we will go to the Chen family's residence."
"Our due reward should naturally be taken back," Ruan Xiyan said, enunciating each word clearly.
Upon hearing this, Tinghe exclaimed happily, "That's wonderful! With our lord here, we'll definitely be able to teach those scumbags a lesson and vent our anger!"
In Qiutong City, the dark night enveloped everything, and all around was quiet.
At that moment, the sound of a door being kicked open broke the surrounding tranquility of the Chen residence.
The guards of the Chen residence immediately surrounded the uninvited guests who had barged into the mansion.
"Who is it! Why are you trespassing into my Chen residence so late at night?" A middle-aged man yawned as he walked out of the room.
He was also embracing two young women on either side of him.
Chen Ju squinted at the people standing in the courtyard, and it took him a long time to recognize Yingxue and Tinghe.
"Isn't this the Alchemist Master? He's back now because he's thought things through and decided to stay at my Chen residence."
"Rest assured, I am very gentle and considerate towards beautiful women, and I guarantee you will have a comfortable and pleasant stay at the Chen residence."
A lewd glint flashed in Chen Ju's eyes. His gaze lingered on Ting He Yingxue before finally settling on Ruan Xiyan.
"Another stunning beauty, perhaps she intends to stay at my Chen residence and keep each other company."
"Screw you!" Tinghe cursed angrily. "How dare you tease and harass my master? Don't you even know who you are?"
If Yingxue hadn't been holding Tinghe back, Tinghe would have angrily rushed towards Chen Ju.
Jun Yu's eyes turned cold. "Ayan, are you going to deal with this mess, or should I?"
Ruan Xiyan clenched her fist. "I'll do it myself."
After she finished speaking, she gathered spiritual power in her hands, and the power fluctuations emanating from her swept outwards.
All the surrounding guards fell to the ground and couldn't get up. With each step Ruan Xiyan took, a force emanated from her feet.
The guards all fell to the ground, and the entire Chen mansion was like an empty place to Ruan Xiyan.
"What?!" Chen Ju shoved the young woman next to him away, his eyes wide with shock.
Although one of the two girls was a noble alchemist, she was not very strong, only at the Great Completion Realm.
He had assumed that the people she brought wouldn't be very strong, but now he realized he had underestimated them.
Chen Ju stretched his muscles and bones. It had been a long time since he had used his strength, and this time he was going to capture these three beauties himself.
He hadn't seen such a beauty in a long time, especially the woman at the head of the group.
The two girls he pushed aside were so frightened that they hid behind a pillar.
"How dare you trespass into my Chen residence! Today I'll show you my power! This little beauty is so disobedient, she'll have to suffer... punishment!"
Before Chen Ju could finish speaking, Ruan Xiyan flashed in front of him and kicked him.
Her fist was covered in ice spikes. Every time she hit Chen Ju, the ice spikes would leave a bloody hole in his body, and a chill would seep into his body.
"Ugh! Ah—Pfft—"
Ruan Xiyan repeatedly slammed Chen Ju to the ground.
She kicked him into the air, and then appeared above him, forcefully kicking him down again.
Before he could land, Ruan Xiyan punched him again.
Chen Ju was completely powerless against Ruan Xiyan.
Before long, Chen Ju collapsed to the ground, his face bruised and swollen, his body riddled with holes, bleeding profusely.
The others in the Chen household were already stunned by this scene and were somewhat at a loss.
The two young women immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, fearing that they would be implicated because of Chen Ju.
"My lord, spare us! We were all abducted into the manor by Chen Ju. We know nothing about what he did, and it has nothing to do with us."
"Please, Your Honor, forgive us since we have not done anything heinous."
Ruan Xiyan remained expressionless, her extraordinary aura enveloping the entire Chen residence.
Those people suddenly felt a tremor in their hearts, fully realizing how terrifying this woman's strength was.
It would probably only take her a moment to take their lives.
Ruan Xiyan said, "Tonight is the time for the destruction of the Chen family. Those who do not want to die should leave within three breaths."
"Otherwise, there will be chaos and no one will be spared!"
Upon hearing Ruan Xiyan's words, everyone present rushed out of the mansion.
Even the head of the family was no match for this woman; they only lost their lives in vain if they stayed behind.
It was obvious that this woman was someone they couldn't easily provoke. Since the patriarch was now dead and they were no longer under any control, they should hurry and escape.
It's not worth risking your life for this.
After all, Chen Ju had provoked such a powerful enemy himself; as the saying goes, one reaps what one sows.
In the blink of an eye, everyone in the Chen household who could move ran out.
"Yingxue, Tinghe, go and ransack the Chen residence," Ruan Xiyan said.
"Yes, my lord." Tinghe pulled Yingxue along and skipped away.
As expected, with the Lord by our side, no matter what the situation, it can be easily resolved.
The Lord is someone who can put people at ease and make them unconsciously believe in Him.
Soon, Tinghe and her group had completely ransacked the Chen residence.
Ruan Xiyan glanced at the Chen residence, then snapped her fingers, and the Chen residence instantly burst into flames, engulfed in a raging fire.
The following day, the people of the city looked at each other in dismay as they faced the ruins of the Chen Mansion.
"Who did the Chen family offend that they were wiped out overnight!"
"Given the Chen family's history of arrogance and domineering behavior, it's only a matter of time before they offend some unknown big shot and are wiped out."
"That's right, every day on the mainland, forces perish. Even a small force can be wiped out overnight, let alone a family like the Chen family."
"......"
