Caught in the Act, Already in the Wrong

"I wonder what the Chen Clan has done?"

Despite the unexpectedness of the incident, Sun Yi still inquired about what had happened.

Lu Changzhi briefly explained the situation.

"If we cannot subdue the Chen Clan family, they will indeed cause trouble again."

After listening, Sun Yi said:

"I wonder how long they've been gone?"

Lu Changzhi thought for a moment, "They had just left when I sent you the message."

Sun Yi nodded, looked in the distance, and said:

"The Chen Clan lives some distance away, so even if we set off immediately, it would still take some time."

After saying this, Sun Yi turned to Lu Changzhi and said:

"This matter will be handled by the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion. We guarantee they won't come back here to cause trouble again."

He didn't know why Lu Yuan's son had come to this place.

But there must be some reason.

The reason they've sought help from the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion is simply to ensure the safety of this area.

In fact, Lu Changzhi did have this in mind.

He was still unfamiliar with the situation outside this Land of the Four Directions.

Although some methods can be left in the village, they cannot be guaranteed to be effective indefinitely. If trouble arises again in the future, they could endanger the small village.

In contrast, it would be much easier to handle these matters by letting Heavenly Treasure Pavilion get involved, given Heavenly Treasure Pavilion influence.

At this moment, Lu Changzhi also glanced around and said:

"I didn't expect so many powerful individuals to come. Thank you for your trouble."

"You're too kind."

Sun Yi smiled and waved his hand:

"Your Excellency is Purple-Gold Guest. Since you have encountered trouble and sought our assistance, our Heavenly Treasure Pavilion will naturally take it very seriously. Therefore, upon receiving the message, we immediately contacted our lower-level branches in the surrounding area to gather powerful individuals to help you resolve your problem."

Lu Changzhi had only one feeling about what Sun Yi said.

Service first.

In this respect, Heavenly Treasure Pavilion's business capabilities are visibly catching up with the system.

"How does Heavenly Treasure Pavilion plan to resolve the matter concerning the Chen Clan family?"

Lu Changzhi asked curiously.

Sun Yi smiled and said:

"This isn't a major conflict. If you have no other plans, Heavenly Treasure Pavilion will reason with the Chen Clan and appeal to their emotions. I believe we can resolve this matter perfectly."

"As for you, there's no need to worry about this. You can rest for a while. If you'd like, we can arrange a meal for you now."

"Then there's no need to trouble yourself." Lu Changzhi waved his hand, recalling what Shi Qinglin had said, and said:

"When they left, they also took with them the village's sacrificial offerings, which were very important to Mountain and Sea Village, so..."

Before Lu Changzhi could finish speaking, Sun Yi said confidently:

"Rest assured, Your Excellency, we will definitely retrieve it."

"Okay, then I'll trouble you."

Lu Changzhi nodded, and the two chatted for a few more minutes before returning to the village.

Meanwhile, the many powerful figures who had come from the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion were all busy with their tasks.

It's not too troublesome.

Based on the distance, it will take some time for the Chen Clan family to arrive, so we should wait and find a suitable place to hide first.

In fact, putting aside Heavenly Treasure Pavilion's reputation, their strength alone is enough to keep the Chen Clan in check.

But that doesn't generate the greatest profit.

It is true that Lu Yuan's son is a VIP, and it is also true that those who came are all members of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.

But this does not mean that they do not expect anything in return for their efforts.

Therefore, this troublesome trip should have some return and benefit.

Should we have Lu Yuan's son give it to him?

Given his status Purple-Gold Guest, he certainly shouldn't expect anything in return.

The Chen Clan is the most suitable.

However, as a powerful business association, reputation is of paramount importance to the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.

Heavenly Treasure Pavilion does not arbitrarily interfere in matters between different factions.

If you're going to intervene, you need a pretext, a legitimate reason to do so.

In fact, that's enough for now. After all, Lu Yuan's son is Purple-Gold Guest Sect. If he causes trouble for Lu Yuan, Heavenly Treasure Pavilion can't just stand by and do nothing. It's only right that they intervene.

But in Sun Yi's view, this is actually not enough.

The Chen Clan isn't a particularly large or wealthy power, so getting them to offer a sufficient return will require careful consideration.

I might as well just wait here.

They hid and laid an ambush, waiting for the Chen Clan to arrive. With numbers against fewer, and given that the Chen Clan's young master had been killed, there would inevitably be a great deal of shouting and commotion.

Then, Heavenly Treasure Pavilion will reappear.

As the saying goes, catching someone in the act of adultery is an act that is inherently unreasonable.

It will be much easier to reason with the Chen Clan then, discuss compensation, and talk about the division of profits.

Soon, figures disappeared into various parts of the mountains and forests.

The area around Mountain and Sea Village presents a tranquil scene.

In mid-air.

Chen Yu, who had left Mountain and Sea Village, had already met with the people from the Chen Clan who had come to help.

"Only one person?"

After hearing the details, the gazes of everyone in the Chen Clan towards Chen Yu became subtle.

A dignified Transcendent Realm couldn't even save Chen Ye's life from a junior?

What else could this be but dereliction of duty?

As if knowing this, Chen Yu explained:

"Although this young man appears to be quite young, his cultivation level and strength are extremely formidable; he must have already reached the Saint Realm. The incident happened so suddenly, and given how close he was to Chen Ye, we dare not rashly resort to any other methods."

Chen Tianyang looked at Chen Ye's corpse, his face grim, and said coldly:

"My son possesses abilities no weaker than those of an ordinary Saint Realm expert, so why did they fail to work!"

Chen Yu was silent for a moment, then sighed softly:

Chen Ye probably thought that the other party wouldn't dare to kill him.

The air froze slightly after the words were spoken.

At this point, someone else spoke up, changing the subject.

"At such a young age, to have reached the Saint Realm level, one might have some kind of background. I'm afraid..."

Upon hearing this, some people couldn't help but look at Chen Tianyang.

After all, it was his son who died.

Chen Tianyang seemed to know what everyone was thinking, and snorted coldly, saying:

"He better really have it, otherwise, it won't be as simple as just giving an explanation!"

If you insist, just give me an explanation; if I'm wrong, I'm wrong.

If you're strong enough, then it could be either you're wrong, or it could be me who's at fault.

But if it has nothing to do with strength...

I will make sure you suffer an eternal damnation!

Of course, you'll only know these things after you go there.

Furthermore, discussing these matters is somewhat disheartening, since this involves restoring the Chen Clan's reputation, and how can one be worried before it even begins?

Soon, many people's attention turned to Huang Pi.

With a powerful member of the Huang Clan accompanying them, and considering the relationship between the Chen Clan and Huang Clan, their backgrounds are perhaps not a concern.

Do you know that kid's name?

Huang Pi spoke up, looking at Chen Yu.

Knowing a name often allows you to roughly deduce someone's background; sometimes, just the surname is enough.

Everyone realized what was happening and looked at Chen Yu.

"Let me think..."

Chen Yu pondered for a moment, a thoughtful expression on his face, as if he had finally remembered, and said:

"Judging from how the village children address him, we can confirm that his surname is Lu, but his real name has not been mentioned."

"Land?"

Upon hearing this surname, Huang Pi's eyelids twitched for no apparent reason.
