71: Chapter 71 resounded throughout the city.

"Big Brother, you handle this matter. Whenever we strike the Li Family, I will be the first to charge in," Pei Tianlin said.

Pei Tianrong waved his hand. "Enough, do you think I don't know your temperament? If there's nothing else, go back to the Old Ancestor and help suppress the Demons. The Old Ancestor is at such an advanced age, yet still has to toil over Family affairs; it is the incompetence of us juniors."

Listening to Pei Tianrong's words, a trace of guilt emerged in Pei Tianlin's heart. The pride brought about by his Breakthrough to the Five Viscera Realm vanished without a trace at this moment.

If not for the Old Ancestor, he would never have been able to step into the Five Viscera Realm in his entire life, so what was there to be proud of?

Pei Tianlin said in a deep voice, "Big Brother, there's nothing else here, so I will take my leave."

"Mm." Pei Tianrong replied, and only after Pei Tianlin disappeared from his line of sight did he slowly withdraw his gaze.

Wuyang County, Mingyuan Street.

With Wang Gang's intentional interference, the beggars and wanderers, both large and small, throughout Wuyang County spread the news crazily that the Li Family had taken the Pei Family's herb garden deed and refused to return it.

In just one day, dozens of streets throughout Wuyang County, including the slums, had learned of this news.

Even on the strictly monitored Mingyuan Street, discussions about this matter were circulating.

In a restaurant on Mingyuan Street.

A restaurant is the most chaotic place in a city; the people who come here are from all walks of life, a mixed bag of everyone.

This meant that once any news reached this place, it would spread rapidly.

A burly man with a flushed face, holding a delicate-looking man beside him, said with drunken eyes, "Third Brother, what have you been busy with these past few days? I haven't even seen your shadow. You're drinking at a brothel all by yourself and didn't even call your big brother."

The delicate-looking man picked up his wine cup and gulped down a mouthful, complaining, "What are you saying, Big Brother? If I were really drinking at a brothel, how could I not call you? You don't know, but this period of time has been truly miserable."

Hearing this, the burly man seemed to sober up a bit. "Third Brother, what do you mean by that?"

The delicate-looking man paused and said in a deep voice, "That is a long story."

"Surely you know that ever since the Wang Family incident, we small families dependent on the Wang Family have been struggling to live. Especially a few days ago, when the internal riots in the Wang Family left us small families in a state of chaos. They say that when big shots speak, those below break their legs running. To thoroughly investigate the traitors within the Wang Family, all of us families who have had contact with the Wang Family's traitors had to undergo strict scrutiny by the Wang Family."

"But after passing the review, that wasn't the end of it. We also needed to cooperate with the Wang Family's operations to suppress the traitors. I almost didn't make it back." Speaking of this, the delicate-looking man took another large gulp of wine, as if to vent the suppression in his heart.

"I didn't realize you had such a hard time, little brother. It was my misunderstanding. Come, I will punish myself with three cups." The burly man picked up a jar of wine, poured three bowls in a row, and gulped them down.

However, after drinking so much at once, the burly man's eyes became unfocused again. He swayed his body, trying to pat the delicate-looking man on the shoulder, but almost missed.

"Little brother, don't think too much. Things have already passed; there will be plenty of good days ahead."

The delicate-looking man sighed and said helplessly, "If it were really over, that would be cause for celebration. I don't know what's wrong with the Wang Family lately; they've had a streak of bad luck. Just yesterday, another major event occurred in the Wang Family."

The burly man, with drunken eyes, could only instinctively reply, "What happened again?"

The delicate-looking man looked worried. "The Wang Family's herb garden deed was stolen, and it's said that the Li Family took it. I'm really afraid that the two families will start fighting again. When that happens, it will be us small families who suffer. I really don't know when this kind of life will end."

At this moment, the delicate-looking man picked up a bowl of wine and downed it in one gulp. When he looked at the burly man again, the other party was already dead drunk.

The delicate-looking man could only smile helplessly.

Meanwhile, the conversation between the two was intentionally or unintentionally transmitted to the ears of others.

The Wang Family and the Li Family—one as a former top three Family, and the other as one of the current second-tier Families.

Among them, the Wang Family also involved the Pei Family.

Once a conflict occurs, it will cause a huge shock within Wuyang County.

This also made everyone subconsciously pay attention to news about the two families.

Inside the Heaven-grade private room.

A commander of the Evil Suppression Bureau was enjoying his lunch with gusto. His large mouth was like that of a glutton; with just two bites, a plate of meat had completely entered his stomach.

However, this was just the beginning.

In less than a moment, only some scraps remained of the dozen or so dishes on the table.

Yet even so, the commander of the Evil Suppression Bureau was still unsatisfied, subconsciously licking his lips.

Until there was not a trace of grease on the corners of his mouth, he said to the personal guard beside him, "Speak, what happened below?"

The personal guard lowered his head and said softly, "According to the information I gathered, the Li Family seems to have taken the deed to the Wang Family's herb garden and refuses to return it. The Wang Family also seems to have the intention of making an issue of this. Do you think we should report this to the director?"

The Evil Suppression commander glanced at the personal guard, naturally understanding the other party's desire to earn merit, but he did not expose it.

Back then, wasn't he the same?

Furthermore, the personal guard was his own man. He thought for a moment and still gave a reminder, "Do your own job well and don't meddle in things you shouldn't. Although the director is far outside the city, everything that happens within the city cannot escape his eyes."

The personal guard understood that this was a kind reminder to him. He slightly cupped his hands and immediately bowed, saying, "Thank you for your guidance, my lord."

The Evil Suppression commander nodded slightly. "Alright, get up."

...

Dozens of miles outside Wuyang City.

Chen Yuanba was vigorously suppressing the Demons. The long spear in his hand was like a Dragon; with every strike, several spear shadows shot out, like a gale charging forward, accurately piercing the Demons.

In less than a moment, dozens of Demons were slaughtered by him.

The personal guard on the side saw this scene, but there was not much surprise on his face.

As Chen Yuanba's personal guard, he had seen such scenes too many times. If it had been the first time, he might have been surprised. But by now, he had long since become numb to it.

In his eyes, Chen Yuanba was an invincible existence.

Eliminating Demons was just a routine matter.

After killing the Demons, Chen Yuanba slowly lowered the spear in his hand, and his astonishing Qi and blood instantly converged.

In just the blink of an eye, Chen Yuanba seemed like a different person. His eyes were deep as he gazed calmly into the distance. "Speak, what discoveries were made today?"

The personal guard quickly described what happened in the city.

After finishing, the personal guard did not forget to observe Chen Yuanba's reaction.

However.

Chen Yuanba's expression did not change at all, maintaining his original posture, as if what happened in the city was just a trivial matter.

But after waiting for a while, Chen Yuanba did not speak. Until he withdrew his gaze, he then said indifferently, "Let's go, continue suppressing the Demons."

The personal guard was puzzled, but still replied, "Yes."
