397: action

"Alright, then follow me."

Chen Heng smiled and said nothing more.

After hearing what Bai Jun and Luo Shuo said, Chen Heng finally realized that the things he had done simply because he found them displeasing were actually so terrifying.

"Could it be that I can really master this human emperor seal?"

"By the way, Bai Jun, besides the Human Race, Ghost Race, and Yao Race, what other races are there in this world?"

Chen Heng looked up at Bai Jun and asked the doubts in his heart.

"Human Race, Ghost Race, Yao Race..."

Bai Jun recalled the knowledge he had learned from ancient texts.

"Oh, right, does the legendary Celestial Being Race count?"

"And Wu Man, he is a race from the Yin Side, does he count as one?"

Hearing Bai Jun's words, Chen Heng shook his head.

"The Celestial Being Race doesn't count, but Wu Man and his kind probably do."

Chen Heng learned from Qian Fa that the Celestial Being Race was actually a type of Human Race, just more powerful.

They were similar to Heavenly Gods, but not as powerful as Heavenly Gods, nor did they possess the Heavenly Gods' ability to resurrect from the dead.

When the Celestial Being Race died, they were truly dead, and their lifespan was no different from ordinary Human Race.

Moreover, these guys had already gone extinct in Qian Fa's era, dying during the Ultimate Return.

"That should be it, and there are other races living on the Yin Side of the World."

Chen Heng glanced at Wu Man; although they had the appearance of the Human Race, their core was completely different.

They were completely different races from Wu Man.

"Alright, it seems you don't know much either." Chen Heng gave up on the possibility of getting information about other races from Bai Jun.

"Rest up, we're going home tomorrow."

Chen Heng stood up and rubbed his neck. This action actually had no great use; to put it plainly, it was just a habit of Chen Heng's.

Just like stretching after waking up, Chen Heng's body didn't need these useless movements, but he just wanted to do them.

"Got it, time to rest."

Bai Jun and Luo Shuo nodded, intending to return to their respective rooms.

"Oh, right, Luo Shuo, are you planning to stay here and help your father or come with me?"

Chen Heng turned to look at Luo Shuo, who was just turning to go back to his room.

"Of course I'm going with Big Brother Chen, I'm not needed here anyway."

Luo Shuo looked indifferent; he had no role here at all, other than standing by and playing the part of a fool.

"Good, go rest."

Chen Heng waved Bai Jun and Luo Shuo away, then turned to look at Wu Man and the others, who were sitting in the corner and almost falling asleep.

"Wu Man, you all go rest too, I have some things to attend to."

"Chen Heng, I want to stay here and protect you and the children!" Wu Man immediately woke up and patted his chest, saying.

"I, I don't know anything else, I only know how to fight, I want to help you."

"There's no need. If I needed you to protect me, I might as well just die right here."

Chen Heng refused Wu Man's kind offer and led them out of the courtyard.

Now, only Chen Heng and Hu Ling were left in the courtyard.

Hu Ling naturally knew what Chen Heng meant. After being back for several days, it was time to get down to business.

"Master..." Hu Ling's eyes were filled with longing, and she stood up, walked to Chen Heng's side, and gently massaged his shoulders.

"I know, there really hasn't been any time these past few days, I've neglected you a bit."

Chen Heng patted Hu Ling's small hand to comfort her.

"It's alright, Master, your servant will always wait for you." Hu Ling's little face was a bit flushed.

Although she was no longer an innocent maiden, she hadn't experienced that feeling many times.

Just thinking about what was about to happen, Hu Ling was still a little nervous.

"Master, your servant..."

Hu Ling still wanted to take the opportunity to introduce Spirit Fox Qian'er to Chen Heng, but Chen Heng didn't give her the chance.

Chen Heng simply picked Hu Ling up in his arms, pushed open the door, and walked inside.

Spirit Fox Qian'er, who was invisibly waiting on the wall for Hu Ling's instructions, was completely dumbfounded by this scene.

"What about me then, what should I do now?"

Just as Spirit Fox Qian'er was about to sneak over to eavesdrop, Chen Heng flicked his finger, and a compressed air current hit Qian'er's forehead.

With a whoosh, the already petite Qian'er was sent flying out of the courtyard, a thumb-sized bump rising on her forehead.

A moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold... (But if I write it out, I'll get a 404, so please use your imagination, esteemed readers.)

...Meanwhile, the Black Guard's Soul Restraint Formation had also been set up.

Not only that, he also used the Concealment Array to envelop the entire Qiyang City, severing the connection between Qiyang City and the Xuan Alliance.

"Remember, the Concealment Array can only ensure that what happens in Qiyang City remains unknown for two hours. Once that time is exceeded, we will face the Xuan Alliance's siege."

The Black Guard looked at the twenty-odd people in front of him and repeated the plan once more.

"Remember, the goal this time is not to kill, but to abduct the three people in the plan."

"Be sure not to injure Chen Fugui, Chen Tianer, and Chen Heng's maid; their value will drop significantly if they are injured."

"Everyone else can be killed; if anyone blocks the way, they can be killed."

"Begin!"

At the Black Guard's command, his two dozen subordinates disappeared into the darkness and rushed towards the Chen Family Courtyard.

"Chen Heng, I refuse to believe that this time you won't obediently go to the Divine Capital to die!"

...At the entrance of the Chen Family Courtyard, Zhu Ri and Zhu Chang were meditating with their eyes closed.

For them, there were no opponents in the entire Qiyang City, so they naturally relaxed.

Just then, Zhu Ri suddenly felt a Killing Intent coming towards him.

"Not good!"

But as Zhu Ri tried to act, a strong sense of weakness emanated from his body.

"Zhu Chang! Wake up!"

Zhu Ri barely managed to support his body, transformed into human form, and drew his long saber.

"Huh?" Zhu Chang also woke up, but the weakness in her body made it impossible for her to get up.

"Hmph, as expected of a Demon King, to be able to counterattack under the suppression of the Soul Restraint Formation."

"Geng Metal Blade Aura!" Zhu Ri had no intention of wasting words with them. He had been a lazy tiger for so long, and today he finally encountered trouble.

A golden Blade Aura shot into the sky, directly cutting the figure in front of him in half.

"Not bad, a mere demon can actually use the Geng Metal Blade Aura."

The Black Guard's figure emerged from the shadows, and two sharp daggers slid out from his sleeves.

"These two Demon Kings are mine; you all go in and do your business!"

The surrounding shadows immediately surged towards the Chen Family Courtyard. Just as Zhu Ri was about to block them, the Black Guard's figure appeared before him.

"I'm still here, where do you think you're going?"

"Noisy!" Zhu Ri forcefully gathered the demonic power within him and unleashed a Divine Tiger Devouring the Sun attack towards the Black Guard.
