Shen Qing frowned when she arrived at her home, especially since those people were still there, but she ignored them and went straight to her mother’s room. “Mom-”
“Where have you been, Qing’er? Why are you only coming back now? Don’t you know about your father and brother’s deaths?” Shen Yu immediately bombarded her niece with questions as soon as Shen Qing entered the room.
“Of course, I already knew about it, so I went straight home to accompany my mother.” Sheng Qing casually answered her aunt and immediately sat beside her mother, and the two of them pretended to be sad in front of Shen Yu, or else she would suspect them.
Shen Yu sighed after seeing them like that. She then stood up from her seat and walked out. “Since you’ve returned, I’ll go to the hospital to take care of their funeral. I’m sure Luo Zhenhai and the others have already finished autopsies on their corpses.”
“Please take care of their funeral.” Yang Li said to her sister-in-law.
“Leave it to me.” Shen Yu answered curtly and immediately left the room.
Yang Li then asked her daughter. “Why did you come back here?”
Shen Qing hugged and told her mother. “Mom! I couldn’t bear to leave you in this house alone, so I was thinking of taking you to live in Chen Li’s mansion with me; I’m sure he wouldn’t mind it.”
“No.” Yang Li rejected her daughter directly. “Currently, your aunt and the others are still on high alert after the deaths of your father and little brother, and Shen Yu will be coming here frequently, so I can’t leave this house for now.”
“But-”
“Sigh, listen to me, Qing’er.” Yang Li interrupted her daughter. “If I stay with you in Chen Li’s mansion now, they will definitely suspect that we are in cahoots with him, which will make it more difficult for him to take revenge on them.”
Shen Qing sighed softly and said to her mother. “All right, you can stay in this house for the time being, but you have to stay with us after Chen Li manages to get his revenge on them, okay?”
“En.” Yang Li nodded to her. “Don’t worry, I will definitely stay with you after everything is over, but I think Chen Li will have a little trouble carrying out his next plan.”
“Haha.” Shen Qing laughed softly upon hearing that. “You don’t need to worry about that, Mom. Chen Li is no ordinary man, and he also has many abilities beyond our expectations, so I’m sure he won’t have any trouble carrying out all his plans.”
Yang Li then asked her daughter. “Do you know about Chen Li’s next target?”
“Uncle Yang is his next target.” Yang Li looked surprised to hear that, and Shen Ling told her. “His documents are in his possession now, so he will attack him next. However, Aunt Xuan and Aunt Lian’er came to see him earlier, and I believe they begged him to spare their sons.”
This did not surprise Yang Li, especially given that she was aware of how much the two women loved their sons. “Then what about Yudie?”
“I don’t know.” Shen Qing replied with a shake of her head. “However, I saw that Chen Li’s expression was unusual when he met Yudie earlier, so I’m sure he won’t hurt her.”
Yang Li heaved a sigh of relief after she heard that. “Yudie is a kind and innocent girl, and she doesn’t know anything about her father’s and big brother’s deeds, so I really hope Chen Li doesn’t do anything to her.”
“Don’t worry, Chen Li is not that evil.”

Meanwhile, Luo Zhenhai was sitting in front of his subordinates and listening to their reports about the autopsy results and their investigation into the identity of the caller and the fingerprints on the dagger. “Are there really no other fingerprints on the dagger?”
“No, Chief! We only found Shen Lu’s fingerprints on it.”
“Then what about the identity of the caller?”
“Based on the CCTV footage near the payphone, the person calling you is an old man.” Luo Zhenhai raised his eyebrows upon hearing that. “We’ve tried to match his photo with our database, but we couldn’t find his identity.”
“Have you checked our database thoroughly?” His subordinate nodded to him, and Luo Zhenhai fell silent afterwards, but he was wondering in his heart. ‘Could it be that the culprit has more than one superpower? My instincts tell me the old man is the culprit, but he must have used a disguise when he called me, or else they should be able to find his identity in our database.’
While he was thinking things through, Luo Zhenhai suddenly received a message, and he immediately said to them. “You guys investigate this murder case again, especially the CCTV footage around the Shen house, and I will go to the superpower bureau to see Long Jiuxiao and the others.”
“Yes, Chief!”

Chen Li raised his eyebrows after he arrived before the members of the Long Feng Pavilion, especially since they seemed to be much more respectful towards him than usual.
Lu Zhe then told him. “Boss! Yan Qiu already informed us of Shen Hu and Shen Lu’s deaths, but we did not expect that you would act so quickly, and you didn’t even tell us beforehand.”
Chen Li glanced at Yan Qiu as he shook his head, and he asked them. “Do you know the identities of the leaders of the White Tiger Gang and the Black Tortoise Gang?”
“Don’t you know their identities?” Chen Li shook his head at Yan Qiu, and she then explained it to him. “The leader of the White Tiger Gang is Bai Lao, and he is also the leader of the Bai family. Meanwhile, the leader of the Black Tortoise Gang is He Gui, and he is the second in command of the He family.”
Chen Li nodded in understanding and asked them. “Are you two able to take on them at once?”
“Eh?” They were shocked after hearing his question, which Lu Zhe asked with a confused look. “Are you going to take over both gangs at the same time, Boss?”
“I advise you not to do that, Chen Li.” Yan Qiu spoke to him as she shook her head. “Nan Wei was on alert after the Green Dragon Gang disappeared from the public eye, and he contacted us to meet with him to discuss it.”
“Oh?” Chen Li was slightly surprised after hearing that. “When does Nan Wei want to meet you guys?”
“The day after tomorrow.” Yan Qiu then said to him again. “Although the Bai and He families aren’t powerful families, they do have quite a number of superpower possessors, so I think it would be best if you took over one of them first.”
Chen Li nodded in understanding. “For the next target, I’ll leave everything to you guys, so you can choose our next target.”
“The Black Tortoise Gang!” Yan Qiu and Lu Zhe answered him at the same time.
“All right, you guys can start preparing our members, and I will give you three days to take over the Black Tortoise Gang.” They nodded in agreement with him, but Chen Li’s expression suddenly turned very serious. “However, if you fail to do so within three days, then all of you will undergo a full week of hellish training.”
Lu Zhe and Yan Qiu’s bodies trembled after they heard that, and they said to him. “Don’t worry, we will definitely take over the Black Tortoise Gang in three days.”
“That’s good.” Chen Li then jumped amidst his underlings, and he immediately attacked them one by one, including Yan Qiu’s female underlings.
They were shocked by Chen Li’s action, but they immediately attacked him as usual, especially the former members of the Green Dragon Gang who had already gotten used to his training.
Even though they had heard about Chen Li’s rigorous training, this was the first time they had personally experienced it, so the former members of the Vermilion Gang felt overwhelmed by his actions.
Meanwhile, the Meng Twins seemed excited about it, as they felt extremely grateful to Chen Li after he killed their parents’ killer, and they wanted to become stronger to help him with all his plans.
Not only them, even Duan Yiren was excited by training with Chen Li; she and the Meng Twins then teamed up to take him down, but they certainly wouldn’t be able to do that easily.
Seeing their excitement, Lu Zhe and Yan Qiu joined them to attack Chen Li. In the end, he had to fight against 205 of his subordinates, but that wasn’t a problem for him, especially since his stamina was way above theirs.

Even though Bei Yudie was still in shock after Feng Xian’er brought her into the Tianyi Realm, and she told her many things about cultivators and the like, she seemed eager to start her cultivation path.
After she explained everything, Feng Xian’er softly said to her. “If you understand everything, then you can try absorbing the Qi into your body, Little Die.”
“Yes, Big Sis Xian’er.” Bei Yudie directly closed her eyes and muttered in her heart. ‘Big Brother Chen, I will definitely become a strong cultivator to help you fight against your enemies in the future.’
Feng Xian’er smiled after she learned Bei Yudie’s thoughts. ‘Unfortunately, she’s still underage, so she still has to wait a long time to dual cultivate with my hubby.’
