"If the intelligence was right, this should be the place."

A voice suddenly rang out, interrupting Chen He and Li Yan's conversation.

Watching a group of well-equipped soldiers burst into their home, the couple frowned deeply, seized by an ominous feeling.

Chen He stepped forward first and asked, "What do you mean by suddenly barging into my home? City Lord Sai En and I are business partners with a very close relationship. Aren't you afraid that, by doing this..."

The knight in the lead smiled disdainfully. "Sai En? Who the hell is that?

"No more nonsense. As long as you cooperate, we won't hurt you. You're our grand marshal's honored guests, so please come with us. The carriage is ready, right outside.

"Please, both of you."

Chen He and Li Yan exchanged a glance and nodded, each understanding what the other had in mind.

They both summoned their Martial Souls. Chen He was a Level 41 Soul Ancestor, with one yellow, two purple, and one black Soul Ring.

Li Yan was a Level 46 Soul Ancestor, with one white, one yellow, one purple, and one black Soul Ring.

The leading knight was shocked to see that Chen He and Li Yan were both Soul Ancestors with four Soul Rings, and that each had a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring.

"How is that possible? Didn't the intelligence say you two were just a One-Ring Soul Master and an ordinary person? You're actually Soul Ancestors. You really hid yourselves well.

"But unfortunately for you, I'm a Level 67 Soul Emperor. Surrender without a fight."

After speaking, the knight captain summoned his Martial Soul. As if in a chain reaction, the other knights summoned theirs as well. There were Three-Ring Soul Elders among them, and including the knight captain, there were three Six-Ring Soul Emperors.

Chen He's expression darkened. If there had been only one Six-Ring Soul Emperor, they might have been able to fight their way out. Chen Mo had given them both plenty of life-saving items and had also given them Immortal Herbs to consume. He had left behind quite a few pills that could increase their cultivation and strengthen their foundations.

However, they were a little too old, after all. Neither their potential nor their combat strength came close to Lin Yaodong's, whom Chen Mo had personally trained.

Still, Chen Mo had long had plans for his parents.

The Divine Realm.

Chen Mo had to take the Divine Realm. When that time came, he would get his parents divine positions, allowing them to live forever on the Douluo Plane and giving them enough power to protect themselves.

But not now. He would wait until his normal combat strength was enough to overturn the Divine Realm.

Although Chen Mo could now rely on Experience Cards to sweep through the Divine Realm, they lasted only twenty-four hours. Even if he slaughtered all the gods and brought his parents to the Divine Realm, he still wouldn't be able to protect them completely.

Without the gods, would there be no other dangers?

Should he keep relying on Experience Cards forever? He had only fifty-four in total, and even counting every last one, fewer than ten granted Tier 5 combat strength or higher. Once the Experience Cards ran out, what would Chen Mo have left to protect his parents if they encountered danger?

So, until his normal combat strength reached Tier 5, Chen Mo would stay away from the Divine Realm for the time being.

The waters there still ran deep, and Chen Mo couldn't yet get a grasp on them.

Surrounded by so many knights, Li Yan and Chen He both knew very well that they probably couldn't fight their way out with their own strength.

Li Yan secretly handed Chen He a card. He took it and nodded.

Both Chen He and Li Yan carried a joker card, the big joker and the little joker, each sealing an Experience Card for a Level 99 Titled Douluo and a Level 98 Titled Douluo, respectively.

What Li Yan had just given Chen He was the Experience Card sealing a Level 98 Titled Douluo.

Chen He didn't hesitate and immediately used the Experience Card.

At once, Chen He's bearing changed. His Martial Soul and Soul Rings lit up again: two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red, nine Soul Rings in total.

The knight captain's eyes nearly popped out at the sight.

"A T-Titled Douluo? No, that's impossible..."

Chen He answered him with an attack.

Sixth Soul Skill: Tiger Roars through the Mountain Forest.

Chen He opened his mouth wide and roared with all his might.

Roar~

A tiger's roar burst from Chen He's mouth, stunning the knights surrounding him and Li Yan for three to ten seconds. Those below the Soul Ancestor level suffered internal injuries from the impact and lost their ability to fight.

Feeling the power of that Soul Skill, the knight captain lost his nerve, because his opponent really was a Titled Douluo.

Once the stun wore off, the knight captain shouted.

"Fall back, retreat! The intelligence was wrong! They're not ordinary people at all, but a Titled Douluo! Retreat! The wind is tight, scream the retreat..."

But how could they possibly escape a Titled Douluo?

Titled Douluo: Don't I need face?

Before long, Chen He had killed most of them, leaving only a few alive to interrogate. After finding out why they had come, he executed them.

Meanwhile, the knight commander had brought Lin Yaodong's family to the agreed location and was waiting there. As the other group failed to appear, the knight commander grew somewhat anxious.

The knight commander thought, Could something have happened?

The thought had barely crossed his mind when Chen He arrived.

The knight commander had naturally seen a portrait of Chen He, one of the targets of this mission.

Seeing the target appear with none of his own men in sight, the knight commander's bad feeling grew stronger.

The knight commander was about to say something to Chen He, but Chen He summoned his Soul Rings the moment he arrived. The sight of all nine made the commander swallow his words.

The knight commander bellowed, "Fall back, retreat! The intelligence was wrong! Everyone, scatter and flee..."

Although Chen He managed to keep most of the guard knights from escaping this time, a few small fry still got away.

There was nothing he could do. At the knight commander's order, every knight fled in a different direction, while the knight commander charged straight at Chen He, intent on holding him up and giving the others a chance to survive. Only then could the intelligence get out, and only then would their deaths not be in vain.

It was precisely because the knight commander clung to him so relentlessly, and because Lin Yaodong's family was there, that Chen He had to hold back and couldn't use his full strength.

By the time he dealt with the knight commander, the knights had already put a considerable distance between them. Although Chen He chased after them with all his might, he still failed to catch the small fry fleeing in several directions.

Chen He didn't dare stray too far from his wife Li Yan and Lin Yaodong's family, so he gave up.

After making some quick preparations, he took everyone to an estate outside the city.

This was a safe house Chen Mo had prepared long ago. His parents had been unwilling to follow him to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to cultivate in seclusion.

So, for their safety, he had arranged this place in advance.

Chen Mo and his parents had long ago agreed that if they encountered danger, they would immediately use an Experience Card. After driving off the enemy, they were to bring everyone to this safe house. Once the formation inside was activated, even a Titled Douluo wouldn't be able to break in anytime soon.

Once an Experience Card was used, Chen Mo would know, and he would hurry back as fast as he could.

All they had to do then was stay in the safe house and wait for Chen Mo to arrive.

Meanwhile, at Chen Mo's training ground.

"Lin Yaodong! Come on! We're going home!"

A voice full of rage rang out, rousing Lin Yaodong from his cultivation...
