Xia Chen did not put away the escape light, but took out a jade token from the storage space, put it in his arms, then cast an invisibility spell on himself, and then rushed straight into the depths of Yuejia Fort.
Although Chu Xiaoming has surrendered to the Yue family for many years, his identity has been well hidden. No one else knows about it except Yue Bufan and his two sons with fifth-level supernatural powers.
This is to prevent the Yue family from having a traitor and telling his secrets to the Chu family.
When flying over the castle gate, the gate guarding restriction had just reacted, but the jade token in Xia Chen's arms suddenly flickered, and the restriction immediately calmed down, and there was nothing strange again.
This jade token was a forbidden item that only important figures in the Yue family owned. There was no need to go through the city guard inspection when entering and exiting. Xia Chen killed Chu Xiaoming and naturally took over all his belongings.
Looking down at the Yuejia Fort from the air, one can vaguely see its regular arrangement. Obviously, the distribution of the Yuejia Fort is also a formation, and its various ingenuities also reflect its skill.
However, in Xia Chen's eyes, Yuejiabao's formation was a bit rough. There were still many imperfections and flaws everywhere. It was far inferior to the formations of Tianlan Sect and Yanzhao Alliance.
This is not surprising. Even within the Black Triangle, the Yan-Zhao Alliance and the Tianlan Sect can be considered first-rate forces. Naturally, they are far from being comparable to small families such as the Chu family and the Yue family.
Soon, Xia Chen came to a huge mansion. He did not show his body, nor did he go in immediately. Instead, he alertly sent out a spiritual thought and entered the mansion.
Soon, there was a response from inside, just two words: "Come in."
The door of the mansion did not open. Instead, there was a flash of green light, and a gleaming passage suddenly appeared on the wall.
Xia Chen did not hesitate at all, and immediately disappeared into the passage in a flash.
With his eyesight, he has naturally already seen that there is also a small forbidden formation hidden inside this mansion. Just like the original Peacock Villa, it seems to be just a mansion, but in fact it contains a space.
The passage was very long, dozens of feet long, but at Xia Chen's speed, it naturally reached the end in an instant.
There was another passage at the end, still dozens of feet long. Xia Chen walked through it without thinking, and then there was another long passage...
Xia Chen was like walking through a maze, passing through seven or eight people in a row before entering a spacious hall.
A thin old man sat in the middle. His hair was gray, but his eyes were clear and transparent, with clear distinction between black and white. They revealed a compelling light.
Beside the old man, there are two middle-aged men standing on one left and one on the right. The middle-aged man on the left has a rebellious look on his face, while the middle-aged man on the right looks quite calm, but his eyes are quite gloomy.
This old man is Yue Bufan, the ancestor of the Yue family. The rebellious middle-aged man is his eldest son Yue Changxing, and the man with gloomy eyes is his son Yue Changming.
Both of them are at the fifth level of magical power and golden elixir realm. Although they have not reached the peak, they should not be underestimated. Even if they do not release any aura, they still give people an invisible and huge pressure.
These three people are the core figures of the Yue family, and they are also the people who know Chu Xiaoming's true identity.
In addition, Yue Bufan also has a daughter, Yue Changling, but she is married to Fang Kaiyun, the head of the Fang family, and can only come back every once in a while.
"My subordinates have met the ancestor, the head of the family and the second master." Xia Chen immediately bowed his head and saluted the three of them.
"Haha, Xiao Ming, you are so polite every time. In fact, there is no need for you. You have been adopted as my adopted son, a son of my in-laws' family. Just call me adopted father. Call Changxing and Changming big brother and second brother.
That’s it.” Yue Bufan smiled.
Yue Changming had no expression on his face. His gloomy eyes glanced at Xia Chen, and there was a hint of coldness, but he didn't say anything.
Yue Changxing snorted: "Dad, I think he should be called that. He is also a third-generation descendant of the Chu family. Why should he be the same generation as me when he comes to my Yue's family? Moreover, even his cultivation level is one brother's level.
What qualifications do you have to be on par with me and my second brother?"
"Don't say that, Xiao Ming..." Yue Bufan shook his head disapprovingly and was about to persuade.
Xia Chen hurriedly said: "Ancestor, the master of the family is right. Although this subordinate is your adopted son, it is just your love for him. You don't dare to put him in the same category as the master and the second master. I should call him that."
Yes, this is a trivial matter, ancestor, you don’t have to worry about it.”
Yue Bufan smiled slightly and did not insist: "Okay, you can call me whatever you want. No matter what, I will be your adoptive father. How about Xiao Ming, that Chu family kid named Xiao Hong?
Did you bring it again? He is the key to unlocking the secret realm of the ancient city."
"I brought him here," Xia Chen said, "but on the way, his subordinates killed him."
Yue Bufan and the others were all startled.
Yue Changxing said coldly: "Who asked you to kill him? Without this person, how would our Yue family open the secret realm? Do you have other strange thoughts and don't want my Yue family to enter the secret realm at all?"
"Changxing, let Xiao Ming finish his sentence." Yue Bufan frowned.
"Ancestor, the reason why I killed Chu Xiaohong was actually because my subordinates had already obtained the Nine Palaces and Bagua Array to open the secret realm from him. Now even my subordinates can open the secret realm. Naturally, there is no need to keep that waste anymore."
Chen Chen said calmly.
"I see, I'm just saying, Xiao Ming has always been cautious and prudent in doing things. How could he be so reckless? It turns out that he got the method to open the secret realm so quickly, haha." Yue Bufan said with a slight smile.
"Then why don't you quickly hand over the formation that opens the secret realm and show your loyalty to our Yue family." Yue Changxing said coldly.
"My lord, I told the Yue family about the secret realm in the ancient city. If I am not loyal, why would I need to tell you? The formation that opens the secret realm was obtained by me at a risk, and you want me to hand it over in such a hurry.
, what do you mean, do you not believe in the loyalty of your subordinates?" Xia Chen said calmly.
"Are you talking to me?" Yue Changxing's face flashed with murderous intent, "Junior, you are just a dog used by my in-law family. If you are asked to hand it over, you will hand it over. Why is there all this nonsense?"
Xia Chen's expression changed. Judging from Chu Xiaoming's memory, although he had surrendered to the Yue family for many years, the Yue family did not really trust him, especially the head of the family, Yue Changxing, who suppressed him from time to time.
Although Yue Bufan has always been kind to him, who knows what thoughts are hidden in the old fox's heart? Maybe he is secretly directing, and he and his two sons beat him from time to time.
"Shut up!" Yue Bufan's face darkened, "What do you mean by targeting Xiao Ming several times? Xiao Ming is my adopted son, and if you say he is a dog, then who do you think I am? And who are you? As a person you are
The head of the family doesn’t even have the capacity to tolerate others. How can he convince the public in the future? If Xiao Ming is not loyal, will he kill Yue Xiaohong and tell us about the secret realm of the ancient city? Can you use your brain? "
After being scolded, Yue Changxing became much more honest. Although his face was still unruly, he fell silent.
"Xiao Ming, don't worry about big brother's attitude." Yue Changming, who had always had a gloomy look, said calmly, "After all, you are originally from the Chu family. Although you have sworn hatred with the Chu family, it is not wrong to join our Yue family.
Do you want to use our in-law family to avenge you? To put it bluntly, we are just using each other, so it is not an exaggeration to ask you to show some sincerity. Some things are better said clearly in person, what do you think?"
Xia Chen sneered in his heart. The three core figures of the Yue family, one a red-faced person, one a bad-faced person, and one a treacherous one, worked together to put pressure on him. It seemed that Chu Xiaoming's life was not easy either.
So he said with sincerity and fear: "The second master is right, my subordinates do want to use the power of the Yue family to take revenge. However, over the years, my ancestor and adoptive father has been very kind to me, and I have indeed found a sense of belonging in the Yue family.
Naturally, he is loyal to our Yue family, and since his subordinates have told the news about the secret realm of the ancient city, they will naturally hand over the opening of the formation."
He took out the jade slip that unlocked the secret formation from his arms, held it up with both hands, and handed it to Yue Bufan respectfully.
Yue Bufan stretched out his hand to take the jade slip, without even scanning it with his spiritual mind, and said in a friendly manner: "Xiao Ming, my adoptive father understands your feelings. Don't worry, regarding your mother's blood feud, the Yue family will do their best to help you. The secret realm of the ancient city is a
This is an excellent opportunity. After your great revenge is avenged, whether you are willing to fly away or stay in my in-law's family to marry into your family, I will welcome you. My adoptive father has never doubted his loyalty to you."
Xia Chen prostrated himself on the ground and said loudly: "My ancestor's kindness to me is hard to repay even if my body is broken to pieces. If I can get revenge, I will be willing to be a servant of the Yue family for the rest of my life."
Yue Changxing sneered and couldn't help but sarcastically said: "You want to be a servant, but I don't dare to keep you."
Yue Bufan glared at him and said to Xia Chen: "Xiao Ming, are you going back to the Chu family now? If you stay too long, don't let that old ghost Chu Tianying get suspicious."
Xia Chen's only hesitation was, "You can just go back tomorrow. I made an excuse this time, saying that I would go back within seven days and stay here for one night. It will be just in time to hit the road tomorrow."
Yue Bufan nodded, turned to Yue Changming and said: "Take Xiao Ming down to rest, and be careful to protect his identity and don't let others see it."
A gloomy look flashed in Yue Changming's eyes, and he motioned for Xia Chen to follow him. The two of them disappeared into the hall with a flash of blue light.
After the two disappeared, Yue Bufan had a look of contemplation on his face. He picked up the jade slip, penetrated it with his spiritual mind, and looked at it carefully.
Yue Changxing waited for a long time, became a little impatient, and asked: "Dad, what about this jade slip? Is it real or fake? Didn't that kid just make a formation to fool us?"
Yue Bufan thought for a while and said: "It should be true. Although I have never been to the secret realm of the ancient city, I think a formation to open the secret realm is not too complicated. There is nothing wrong with this jade slip."
A murderous look flashed across Yue Changxing's face: "Since it is true, then this man named Chu is of no use. He happens to be in the Yue Family Fort tonight, so just kill him."
