At the same time.
Tianjing City, Division of Surveillance headquarters.
Ever since Chen Xiao returned from annihilating the Primal Chaos Sect and killed Sakura Island's Grandmaster, Liu Cangqiu had been working day and night.
On top of that, Old Liu had not slept for an entire week because of the vigorous advancement of the Dragon Vein Plan.
There were many things that others could not care less about, but he had to care about.
If Old Man Liu had not reached the peak of the Xiantian Realm and broken through to the half-step Grandmaster realm under Chen Xiao's guidance, he would have been overwhelmed by the endless trivial matters.
Even so, the current Old Man Liu still felt a sense of exhaustion.
"Master, there's news from the East Sea. Grandmaster Chen and his family boarded a flight to Tianjing tonight. They seem to be going to Tianjing for the New Year."
At this time, Liu Qizhou suddenly came to report, which made the old man furious. "How many times have I told you not to come to me for trivial matters … Wait! What did you say?! "
Liu Qizhou mumbled, "Grandmaster Chen and his family are coming to Tianjing. They will probably arrive tomorrow morning."
"Damn it, why is the Demon King coming to Tianjing at this time?"
Liu Cangqiu frowned and said, "Are they here to cause trouble for the Lu Clan? No, Sakura Island's God of Swords is also in Tianjing. If Demon King Chen comes … "
Be it the Okita family's God of Swords or Demon King Chen, they were all lawless existences.
It would be fine if they had no grudges, but Chen Xiao had just killed a Grandmaster from Sakura Island not long ago.
If the two sides were to meet, it would definitely be like lightning striking the earth, and a world-shocking battle would erupt!
"Quick, quick, quick, report to the higher-ups and prepare a car for the old man. We're going to the airport to pick him up now!"
"Master, there's one more thing." Liu Qizhou reminded in a low voice. "Grandmaster Chen's parents are also in Tianjing. I'm afraid they're here for the Lu family.
"Aren't the higher-ups worried about how to rope in Grandmaster Chen? I think it might be a good idea to use his parents as a breakthrough! "
Liu Cangqiu was silent for a few seconds, then nodded in agreement. "You're right, kid. Contact them immediately and inform them that Demon King Chen is arriving in Tianjing!"
Following Old Man Liu's order, orders were sent out from the Division of Surveillance to every corner of Tianjing.
…
Lin family courtyard.
The senior members of the Lin Family had already fallen asleep.
But at this moment, the Lin family's meeting hall was brightly lit as if it was daytime.
The upper echelons of the Lin Family yawned and discussed in hushed voices, their eyes still blurry from sleep.
At the head of the table sat a middle-aged man with a dignified expression. His aura was steady and solemn.
Beside him stood a graceful woman. Her beautiful eyes flashed with excitement.
"Alright, since everyone is here, I'll cut to the chase."
Right at this moment, the middle-aged man spoke in a deep voice. Just this sentence alone caused the entire meeting hall to boil.
"Demon King Chen is coming to Tianjing tonight."
"What? Demon King Chen actually came to Tianjing?"
"What is he doing in Tianjing? Is he planning to annihilate another aristocratic family?"
Everyone was in an uproar, and the disorderly sounds of discussion practically drowned the meeting hall.
"No matter why Demon King Chen came to Tianjing, he has done the Lin Family a favor. He even helped my daughter break through to the Xiantian Stage …"
The middle-aged man, who was the head of the Lin Family, spoke again and suppressed the uproar. "So our plan is … to befriend Demon King Chen!"
In fact, as a military aristocratic family, the Lin Family had an extremely high status in the military and the martial arts world.
Coupled with Lin Fei's existence, the Lin Family was one of the few forces that knew about the "Tumen River Battle" and the true meaning behind the title of "Protector of the Northern Plains."
They also heard that many of the big shots above them thought highly of Chen Xiao!
"Let's not waste any more time. There are still a few hours before Demon King Chen's flight arrives. We can still make it if we prepare now!"
…
"Chen Xiao is about to arrive in Tianjing?"
Tianjing Lu Family. After receiving the news, the senior member of the Lu Family was confused.
Who the hell was Chen Xiao?
But as he continued to read, his expression changed drastically.
"It's that bastard Lu Yunjing's son! And he came to Tianjing with his whole family? "
Bang!
He slammed the table and laughed angrily. "Does he think he can bully the Lu Family just because he earned some money from his company? He still dares to hate the Lu Family, this bastard is really going against the heavens! "
In his eyes, the Lu Family was already very merciful when they spared Lu Yunjing's life back then.
Lu Yunjing should have obediently given birth to children and become a housewife. She shouldn't have been allowed to take even half a step into Tianjing.
But this bastard doesn't know how to be grateful. After more than 20 years, he still couldn't forget and still wanted to return to Tianjing!
He angrily threw the document into the shredder and it was shredded into countless pieces on the spot.
Because of this, he didn't notice that on the next page of the document, there were words written in bright red:
Chen Xiao, codename 'Demon King', cultivation level unknown, inheritance unknown, combat power estimated to be three to four stars Grandmaster.
More than ten Grandmasters, dozens of Innates, and countless experts have died in his hands.
Warning! This person is extremely dangerous, please be careful when interacting with him!!
Different forces were at different levels, so the information they received was also different.
But without exception, the news of Chen Xiao's arrival instantly spread among the major forces in Tianjing.
…
"Chen Xiao? Demon King Chen? "
Tianjing City, Zhongnanhai. An old man suddenly raised his hand and called for his guard.
"Little Zhao, I'm old and can't run anymore. Go and welcome him for me."
The guard who was called 'Little Zhao' was actually in his forties and had a square face.
He seemed to have thought of something, and his expression turned solemn. He saluted and said, "Yes, Chief."
…
"Hey, this Chinese is in Tianjing? Looks like we came at the right time. "
Two tall figures moved quickly. They put down their wine glasses and apologized to the people around them. "Babe, I have something urgent to do tonight, so I can't spend the night with you."
"Yugaliv, you annoying guy, didn't you say you were going to do something interesting tonight?"
The enchanting woman was still pestering him.
But suddenly, a bloody hole appeared in between her eyebrows. Her eyes were filled with disbelief, and she fell to the ground.
…
"The previous assassin has been confirmed dead, but we're different. Bloodborne has never failed an assassination since its establishment ten years ago!"
Not long after they left, a few more people were alarmed by the news of Chen Xiao's arrival.
"That invisible woman is already on her way to the Lu family. It won't be long before she succeeds. Next, we just need to wait for news from her."
…
"Chen Xiao, it's him? He's actually in Tianjing? "
At a banquet that had just ended, a beautiful woman had a surprised look on her face, which was soon followed by joy.
Thinking of this, she flagged down a passing taxi under everyone's shocked gazes and left without looking back.
"Miss Xia, where are you going?" A young man shouted from behind.
"I have a friend in Tianjing. I'm going to the airport to pick him up!" Xia Lengxue's voice was getting further and further away.
"Friend, are you in a hurry to pick someone up at this time?"
The young man's face was gloomy. He said to the person beside him coldly, "Go and check which friend of Xia Lengxue's is at the airport."
Recalling the unprecedented smile on Xia Lengxue's face just now, the man's expression became even more gloomy.
"It's fine if it's a woman, but if it's a man … hmph!"
…
At the same time.
"You actually … want me to apologize?"
Zu Songyuan's face darkened. He was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
He was clearly the one who had been slapped several times. It was fine if these people were collectively blind and pretended not to see it, but now they actually wanted him to apologize to a few country bumpkins?
"Yes, Mr. Zu. Please don't make it difficult for us."
The stewardess pursed her lips tightly, feeling helpless as if the illusion of her idol had been shattered. She nodded and said, "Every passenger here can testify. Please don't continue to disturb the cabin."
"Yes, the young man might have been a little loud, but it's too boring for you to pretend like this."
"This is reality, not a TV series. Your acting just now was too clumsy."
Many passengers agreed and felt sorry for Chen Xiao's family.
"You, you … You bastards …" Zu Songyuan was so angry that his nose was almost crooked.
"That's enough, Junior Brother."
At this moment, a pleasant voice suddenly sounded. "Don't cause trouble. Hurry up and apologize."
The person who spoke was Zu Songyuan's Senior Sister, Yu Xiya.
"Senior Sister, even you …" Zu Songyuan said bitterly.
"Master said not to stir up trouble," Yu Xiya emphasized again.
"Okay, okay! I'll apologize! "
In the end, Zu Songyuan gritted his teeth and apologized. The onlooking passengers finally dispersed.
However, during the entire flight, there was always a gloomy gaze that swept over Chen Xiao.
…
A few hours passed in the blink of an eye.
The plane's altitude began to gradually decrease.
Through the clouds, the outline of Tianjing City could already be seen.
Soon, the plane's altitude decreased rapidly and finally landed safely at the capital airport.
The plane was still taxiing on the runway, and the passengers in the cabin had already turned on their phones.
Some of them contacted their relatives and friends, while others planned to post what had just happened on the Internet. They wanted to take the opportunity to make the headlines.
Suddenly, someone pointed outside the window and exclaimed, "Look! What are those people doing?"
They saw a group of people standing in the distance. They were like a guard of honor. They were divided into two rows, as if they were waiting for the arrival of a distinguished guest.
When the plane stopped taxiing, the two rows of people were standing right in front of the exit of the plane.
All of a sudden, everyone looked at Zu Songyuan and Yu Xiya with envy.
In their opinion, the only people on the plane who deserved such treatment were these two big stars.
"Ahem, these people should be here to pick me up."
At this time, Zu Songyuan smiled and pretended to be reserved. "I already told them to keep a low profile. I didn't expect them to be so enthusiastic."
Although he was quite surprised, he had never received a notice that someone would come to pick him up.
However, this was no longer important.
On this plane, besides him and his Senior Sister, there was no one else who deserved such a warm welcome.
When the cabin door opened, Zu Songyuan glanced at Chen Xiao proudly and couldn't wait to walk out of the cabin.
"Everyone, you have worked hard. Thank you for coming here so early to pick me up …"
Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a voice.
"Kid, who are you? Don't block the way. Get out of the way! "
