The Underworld at Work, All Unrelated People, Get Out of the Way!

The four major families are the Ouyang family in the north, the Ling family in the south, the Zhuge family in the east, and the Sima family in the west!

The Ouyang family controls half of the spirit veins in the Great Qian, earning a fortune every year from the Spirit Crystals they produce.

It can be said that half of the Spirit Crystal consumption in the entire Great Qian is supplied by the Ouyang family.

As for the Ling family in the south, they supply sixty percent of the pills in the Great Qian.

The Sima family in the west, originating from artifact refining, is even more terrifying, controlling eighty percent of the supply of spirit artifacts and Supreme Treasures in the Great Qian.

As for the Zhuge family in the east.

In fact, compared to the other three families, the Zhuge family has a relatively good relationship with the royal family.

The ancestors of the Zhuge family were the right-hand men and top strategists of the Founding Martial Emperor of the Great Qian Divine Dynasty. After the establishment of the Great Qian, the ancestors of the Zhuge family served as prime ministers.

And now, two-fifths of the entire Great Qian officialdom consists of people from the Zhuge family or those related to them.

For example, the current prime minister, Di Wu Suifeng, although not surnamed Zhuge, is a member of the Zhuge family.

However, even though the Zhuge family has a good relationship with the royal family.

Lu Chen knew that in the future, the Zhuge family would also join forces with Lu Xuan to use the excuse of "clearing the emperor's surroundings" to place the Azure Emperor and the entire royal family under house arrest.

Therefore, in Lu Chen's eyes, the Zhuge family, like the other families, deserved to die.

"With Emperor Fengdu, a Heavenly Human Realm expert, around, it's easy to destroy the four major families, but it might be difficult to subdue them."

Lu Chen sighed and said.

However, the next moment, a cold expression appeared on Lu Chen's face.

"If you are unwilling to submit, then you all must die."

At this moment, Lu Chen's small face was filled with intense killing intent.

Meanwhile, in the Ling Mansion of the Ling family in the south, the sixth young master of the Ling Mansion, Ling Baitang, sat on a chair with a pale face, playing chess with the head of the Ling family opposite him, Ling Xuntian, who was also Ling Fei's father.

Around Ling Baitang and Ling Xuntian, several powerful auras were hidden; each was a Heavenly Phenomenon Realm expert.

However, at this moment, Ling Baitang was still sweating profusely, his face filled with fear.

"Father, do you think that mysterious assassin can really kill me in this situation? Will I survive?"

Ling Baitang was around thirty years old, in his prime, but now he was as scared as a dog.

"Hmph, I am at the Half-step Land Immortal Realm, and I have the protection of our Ling family's venerated elders, all of whom are Heavenly Phenomenon Realm experts.

With such a terrifying lineup, even a Land Immortal Realm expert would not be able to succeed."

Ling Xuntian snorted coldly, his face showing a gloomy expression.

Two days, two sons dead, anyone would be driven to the brink.

The atmosphere at the scene was somewhat heavy.

Just as Ling Xuntian and Ling Baitang were deep in thought while playing chess.

They saw a faint spatial fluctuation in front of them.

Sensing this spatial fluctuation, Ling Xuntian suddenly turned his head.

And around them, a total of five Heavenly Phenomenon Realm experts instantly revealed themselves.

"Friend, since you're here, why hide? You killed my two sons, you should at least let me know. Who did my Ling family offend?"

Ling Xuntian stood up, his face gloomy.

"Heh heh!"

As Ling Xuntian's voice fell, black Yin energy suddenly permeated the area, instantly making the entire space incredibly cold.

At this moment, a figure wearing the Hundred Ghosts Night Parade Black Robe and a terrifying mask appeared.

"Everyone, I apologize. I, from the Underworld, have only one principle: take people's money and resolve their troubles. I beg your pardon!"

The one who arrived was Emperor Fengdu.

After all, he was working for Lu Chen.

The Ling family had made thorough preparations this time, and Emperor Fengdu, fearing any slip-ups in the mission, decided to carry it out himself.

As Emperor Fengdu's voice fell, a black light shot towards Ling Baitang.

"Father, save me!"

At this moment, Ling Baitang truly felt the threat of death, his face pale, and he trembled as he spoke.

"Hmph, arrogant."

Ling Xuntian snorted angrily upon seeing Emperor Fengdu make a move.

The next moment, Ling Xuntian and the five Heavenly Phenomenon Realm experts around him simultaneously charged towards Emperor Fengdu.

"Hmph, kneel down for me."

Emperor Fengdu, facing these six figures, was not flustered at all.

He let out a cold snort, and then, from Emperor Fengdu's body, a terrifying wail of ghosts suddenly erupted.

Instantly, the entire Ling Mansion seemed to transform into a desolate Underworld.

As for Ling Xuntian and the other five, facing Emperor Fengdu's command to kneel, they felt as if the sky had collapsed, pressing down on them with immense force.

With a crack, the legs of the six Heavenly Phenomenon Realm cultivators, led by Ling Xuntian, all snapped, forcing them to their knees on the ground.

Swish...

At this moment, a crisp sound rang out. A bloodline suddenly appeared on Ling Baitang's neck, and the next moment, with a thump, he fell to the ground.

"No..."

Ling Xuntian watched his own son die before his eyes. Then, he felt that he, a dignified cultivator at the ninth level of the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm, at the Half-step Land Immortal Realm, was no match for Emperor Fengdu. He was on the verge of collapse and couldn't help but roar to the heavens.

"See you all tomorrow. Don't rush, your Death-summoning Talismans are also on their way and will reach you."

Emperor Fengdu looked at Ling Xuntian, who was kneeling on the ground with a pale face, and spoke in a hoarse voice.

The next moment, Emperor Fengdu vanished from his spot.

Where he had stood, with a clang, only a black, eerie token was left behind.

On the front: Death-summoning Talisman. On the back: Underworld!

"That person just now was at least in the Land Immortal Realm."

"An assassin in the Land Immortal Realm. When did such a terrifying assassin organization appear in the Eastern Cang Region?"

Ling Xuntian spoke with a hoarse voice.

"Patriarch, instead of dwelling on these things, shouldn't we quickly investigate who hired the Underworld's assassins to wreak havoc on our Ling Family?"

Beside him, Third Master Ling, Ling Xuntian's younger brother, who was at the fifth level of the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm, spoke with a complex expression.

"Who, who is it!"

Ling Xuntian gritted his teeth, his face ashen.

"Who has our Ling Family offended recently!"

Ling Xuntian roared hoarsely.

"Patriarch, the Eleventh Prince, Lu Chen..."

At this moment, a Heavenly Phenomenon Realm cultivator beside him whispered.

As the words fell, Ling Xuntian froze completely.

"Tomorrow, tomorrow is the Eleventh Prince's engagement banquet. I will personally go. I will definitely get to the bottom of this."

Ling Xuntian clenched his fists and roared.

"Patriarch, that Fifth Young Master, tomorrow, it's for Fifth Young Master..."

Beside him, another gentle reminder completely broke Ling Xuntian.

"Tell Fifth Brother to escape quickly. Run as far as you can now, hide."

Ling Xuntian gritted his teeth.

"No, that's not right. Tomorrow, I'll take Fifth Brother to the Imperial Palace. I want to see if that assassin dares to assassinate Fifth Brother in front of the Azure Emperor, on the Eleventh Prince's joyous occasion!"

Suddenly, Ling Xuntian had an idea, and a strange smile appeared on his face.

Meanwhile, in the Imperial Palace. When Spirit Consort saw the red note for the third time, her vision went black, and she fainted.

"Your Highness..."

Instantly, the entire Spirit Marvel Hall descended into chaos.
