On the way to Dongji City, Xu Mingxi asked Lingyi indirectly about the situation in Dongji City.
Ling Yi was clearly experienced however, so he didn't say much, only saying that the city lord and several large families jointly managed Dongji City and the surrounding towns of various sizes.
However, he specifically pointed out that the Chen family was also among them, and that the city lord was from the Dai royal family.
"Oh, so, thank you very much, Senior Lingyi. I've also just left home, so I hope you can forgive me if there's anything wrong."
Xu Mingxi did his homework before leaving the sect. There were five major cities in the southeastern region of the Star Luo Empire, and Dongji City was one of them.
As the main transportation route between the southern part of the Star Luo Empire and the eastern and western regions, its importance and prosperity could be imagined.
And any family with influence in Far Eastern City had to have at least one Soul Douluo or several high-level Soul Saints.
His family name was Chen, the warrior of souls and Far East City. Xu Mingxi could only think of one person, Chen Rudong, whose martial soul was a colorful magic tiger and was a level 81 strong attacking soul fighter.
Xu Mingxi glanced at Chen Qinghuang who was about to fall asleep.
She looked so weak and fragile that she didn't seem to have inherited the colorful magic tiger martial spirit. In my opinion, it should have been inherited from her mother.
The three of them were riding the carriage towards Far Eastern City, while the four bandits there were already kneeling on the ground to report to the village chief.
Bang~
"You mean three Soul Sect members and five Soul Lords surrounded a young girl who had just become a Soul Sect member, and not only did four of you die, but she also escaped?"
The four bandits didn't dare to look up. They looked at each other, as if remembering something, with fear in their eyes. In the end, the only Soul Sect member ventured up and stood up.
"Village chief, this is not our fault. It's just that Chen Qinghuang's martial spirit has been possessed and he's like a rabid tiger.
Our attacks can only leave a few scratches on his body. And in the end, a Soul King appeared out of nowhere and we were truly no match for him."
The village leader had a headache. He really didn't want to get involved in the infighting between the bigwigs of Jidong City.
That was why he himself stayed in the fortress and sent most of his men out. Unexpectedly, he couldn't even capture a young girl who had just become a Soul Sect Master.
"Forget it, let's pack up and leave."
Because the person was not caught, the Chen family took offense, and the task was not completed, if not now, when else would they escape?
Just as the village chief ordered his men to pack up their things, he didn't realize there was a figure standing in the shadows behind him.
The candles in the village went out, and the village became pitch black, devoid of any movement.
"Brother Mingxi, come with me to Chen House. Father will want to see you too."
At the gate of Dongji City, Xu Mingxi pulled his hand from Chen Qinghuang's with great difficulty.
I really don't know what her martial spirit is like. He was so strong. And he called him "brother, brother", which made Xu Mingxi's scalp tingle.
In order to hide his talent, Xu Mingxi is still using the age when he participated in the Soul Master Competition, and is now 25 years old.
"You'd better go home first and tell your family that you're fine. I'll stay in town and sightsee."
"Alright, Brother Mingxi, you can stay at the Qingyin Inn. That's my Chen family's territory.
I'll come see you tomorrow, Brother Mingxi, you'll have to wait for me."
Seeing Chen Qinghuang being taken away by Lingyi, Xu Mingxi finally let out a sigh of relief.
He would never do something like a hero saving a beautiful girl again. That was really troublesome. He should have gone to the city to see the situation.
The head of the Chen family, Chen Rudong, was furious. Qing Huang was the future of their Chen family. Who the hell would be that brave?
Just as he broke the tenth cup of tea, a servant came reporting.
"Sir, young miss is back."
Chen Rudong's facial expression instantly turned friendly and he greeted her with a smile on his face.
When Chen Qinghuang saw her father, she was overjoyed and threw herself into his arms, which scared him.
"Dad, I almost can't go back, wuwuwu."
"Oh, my dear daughter, you finally came back, otherwise I don't know how to explain it to your mother."
Mrs. Chen is not a flower vase. Her real name is Xue Yun, and she is also a Soul Saint-level powerhouse.
Chen Rudong still didn't dare to tell her that her daughter was missing, but fortunately, her daughter has returned safely now.
"Qinghuang, what happened? Why are you being chased?"
Chen Qinghuang seemed to have remembered something and her face was slightly red.
"Father, I don't know where they came from, but this time it's all thanks to Big Sister Mingxi who saved me."
Bastard.
Seeing his favorite daughter's unusual expression, Chen Rudong knew that something bad was about to happen.
Madame Chen arrived in a hurry, and Chen Rudong immediately dismissed all of his subordinates and servants, leaving only their family of three and Ling Yi protecting Chen Qinghuang at home.
"Lingyi, what happened?"
"Master, the young lady met with bandits. I wanted to act, but was delayed by the Soul Emperor.
By the time I got rid of him, the young lady had disappeared. I have no choice but to return with the cavalry in black to search for her everywhere."
Chen Rudong's face became increasingly grim. It seemed that this was no ordinary bandit attack.
He said, how could there be bandits who dared to attack the Chen family's daughter around Far East City.
"Do you know who stopped you?"
"I don't know. All I know is that he has a black soul ring and his martial soul is a sword."
"Alright, you go down first."
"Alright, I take my leave first."
Chen Rudong knew that Ling Yi had done her best, and since Qing Huang had returned, he wouldn't make things difficult for her.
After Lingyi went downstairs, Mrs. Chen immediately grabbed her husband's ear.
"You're so kind. You didn't even tell me about something as big as my daughter's disappearance. Have you found out which family did it? I will make them pay."
Chen Rudong rubbed his red left ear and comforted his wife. Then she analyzed the matter with him.
"Qinghuang was attacked by some other families in the city. The person who saved Qinghuang must not be a good person."
"Father, I won't let you say that about Big Sister Mingxi. He must be a good person."
Before Xue Yun could say anything, Chen Qinghuang was displeased. This was the first time Xue Yun had seen his daughter like this. Decades of experience told him that there must be something going on.
This child, is she serious?
She waved her hand to signal Chen Rudong to come down and investigate, then she sat beside Chen Qinghuang.
"Qinghuang, how did the Mingxi brother you mentioned save you? What kind of person is he?"
"Mom, let me tell you, Brother Mingxi is very handsome and gentle. He's..."
Chen Rudong's face turned dark as he saw his wife and daughter talking about another man.
He could only choose to close his eyes and leave the lobby, ready to investigate the Sword Soul Emperor. A Soul Emperor did not appear out of thin air.
As Chen Rudong left, he thought of the few families in the city, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes.
Whoever dares to harm my daughter and the future of the Chen family must pay the price.
