CHAPTER 285: CHAPTER 281: THE CHARM OF THE DRAGON

The pressure around Luan Ying continued to rise.

A moment later!

"Boom!"

It reached its peak!

The spiritual power surrounding Luan Ying at this moment became tangible.

Clearly visible to the naked eye.

"Is this what Immortal Rank spirit cultivators are like?"

Chen Xuan muttered to himself. Even though he was now in the Profound Realm, Luan Ying’s substantial spiritual power gave him a sense of danger.

This... is too exaggerated!

Immortal Rank... the gap between this and the Profound Realm!

It’s no exaggeration to say it’s a world apart.

But now, this spiritual power is making him feel a hint of danger.

Is this what a spirit cultivator is!

He couldn’t help but have the urge to upgrade his Myriad Manifestation Skill now.

"Whoosh!"

In an instant, the spiritual power around Luan Ying disappeared.

"Husband! I’ve broken through!"

Luan Ying exclaimed excitedly.

"Congratulations!"

Chen Xuan stepped to her side and embraced her.

"Thank you, husband!"

Luan Ying looked up. Although she was incredibly excited at that moment, she knew everything she had now was given by Chen Xuan.

Without him, she’d still be a mere maid in a brothel.

Perhaps... in the future... she’d become just a courtesan in the brothel.

"Why thank me!"

Chen Xuan affectionately pinched her delicate cheek, then leaned into her ear and whispered, "If you really want to thank me... do well tonight!"

A mischievous smile appeared on his face.

"Okay!"

Luan Ying agreed straightforwardly.

"Hehe..."

....

Night falls!

Luan Ying, who had broken through to the Immortal Rank, was unusually excited. Perhaps it was Chen Xuan’s words during the day; tonight, the young lady was exceptionally cooperative and proactive.

She complied with his every request without hesitation.

As the biggest beneficiary, Chen Xuan was naturally overjoyed.

He couldn’t remember the last time he’d experienced such wantonness; for a moment, it felt like he was back in the Human Realm.

When he went wild with several women.

After the intense night, Luan Ying soon fell asleep, breathing heavily.

"Hoo...."

Chen Xuan also exhaled slightly.

His big hand rested on Luan Ying’s forehead, gently pressing it.

"Exhausted!"

He murmured softly, though his slightly upturned lips showed he was quite satisfied with Luan Ying’s performance just now.

"When Xin’Er can join, that would be great!"

...

In the Three Judicial Departments.

Today, Zongzheng appeared especially restless.

Pacing back and forth incessantly in the hall.

And occasionally looking towards the deepest part of the Three Judicial Departments.

Finally standing by the window, motionless.

"Greetings, my lord!"

At this moment, Qin Ke arrived here, respectfully greeting.

But Zongzheng seemed not to hear it, showing no reaction at all.

"Hmm? What’s the matter?"

Qin Ke wondered internally, looking at Zongzheng’s back. Then he spoke again, this time louder, "Greetings, my lord!"

"Oh...?"

Only then did Zongzheng come to his senses, though looking slightly stunned.

Then he turned around,

"Ah, Qin Ke is here!"

Seemingly normal, but his words lacked his usual composure.

Even though Qin Ke was puzzled, he did not dare to ask more.

Pretending not to notice, he replied with a smile, "May I ask, my lord, what orders do you have for me?"

Just today, right after entering the Three Judicial Departments, someone notified him, saying Zongzheng wanted to see him.

He thought Zongzheng wanted to ask him about the Ning Family.

But looking at his appearance, he dismissed this thought.

After all, last time he reported back, Zongzheng seemed quite indifferent, not so concerned about searching for the Ning Family.

"Take this!"

Saying that, he tossed him a black token.

Qin Ke caught it and saw a long sword engraved on the front of the token, and on the back was the word "Yu" from Great Yu.

"This is...?"

"This is the token of the Minister of the Three Judicial Departments. Holding this token, even Golden Robe Chief Constables have to obey you."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ke’s face instantly became serious.

"This is... to take action against the Yang Family!"

The thought immediately popped into his mind, and he was quite sure it was the only possibility.

"Wait for my orders, then gather all personnel of the Three Judicial Departments swiftly! Do you understand!"

Zongzheng squinted his eyes, even exuding a subtle aura of killing intent.

Even though it wasn’t directed at Qin Ke, he felt a piercing chill.

Zongzheng quickly restrained himself, realizing his loss of composure.

"Phew—"

Qin Ke inadvertently exhaled, finding his forehead covered in cold sweat.

"You can leave now, but remember, not a single piece of information must be leaked, and once orders are issued by this department, act quickly!"

"Anyone, whoever it may be, should they hesitate for even a moment, seize them immediately!"

Zongzheng said gravely, his voice low, reminding him.

"Yes, my lord! I will handle this task properly!"

Qin Ke immediately responded seriously.

"Hmm!" Zongzheng nodded slightly, "You may leave now!"

"Yes!"

...

During the day, Qin Ke was as usual in the Three Judicial Departments, chatting with some Chief Constables, even inviting some to the brothel.

"Alright, brothers, enjoy your food and drink, I’ve arranged everything with my subordinates."

"No problem, no problem, Brother Qin went all out again!"

"Indeed... hahaha..."

...

These few were all White-clothed Chief Constables, all at Mid-Stage or Late Stage Immortal Grade.

Though Qin Ke was still at First Grade.

But several people also called him brother.

This is the charm of a seamless experience of eating, drinking, and entertainment that no man dislikes, even those of Immortal Grade, who were easily taken down by him.

Though they were just superficial brothers.

But if it goes on like this, who knows what might happen.

Qin Ke staggered out of the brothel, but as soon as he got into the carriage, he instantly regained his calm.

"The wind is going to rise! Master will definitely be thrilled to hear this news!"

He murmured to himself.

...

In the study.

Chen Xuan was quite surprised to see Qin Ke seeking him so late.

"Is there something big happening?"

He didn’t waste words and asked directly.

"The Three Judicial Departments are about to make a move!"

"Really!?"

Chen Xuan couldn’t sit still for a moment and reconfirmed.

"Yes! Lord Zongzheng handed me the Minister of the Three Judicial Departments’ token today. Though not explicitly stated, I’m certain this is the matter!"

Qin Ke spoke with great confidence.

"Good!"

Chen Xuan squinted and couldn’t help but shout.

Damn it!

Finally, after waiting so long, the Three Judicial Departments are about to make a move.

I must also prepare thoroughly.

When the time comes, I will take advantage of the chaos to capture a direct disciple of the Yang Family and use the Divine Soul Technique.

"Hope I can get the information I want!"

Chen Xuan muttered softly, his face full of anticipation.

...

The next day, Chen Xuan instructed Zhuo Wu to gather all information and portraits of the direct disciples of the Yang Family for him.

This operation startled him at once.

But his life and death were in Chen Xuan’s hands, so whether he wanted to or not, he had to do it.

It only took half a day for all the information about the Yang Family’s direct disciples to reach Chen Xuan’s hands.

In the study.

Chen Xuan carefully reviewed each piece.

Not only that, Zhuo Wu also marked the most important members of the Yang Family.

"Hehe!"

Chen Xuan chuckled, no wonder he could be the leader of the Celestial Profound Gang, his mind was different.

After reviewing all the information, Chen Xuan waved lightly.

Instantly, all the papers turned to dust.

"Let’s wait!"

Chen Xuan said calmly.

...

Five days later!

In cultivation, Chen Xuan suddenly opened his eyes.

"This is....!"

Chen Xuan’s figure instantly appeared on the roof.

At this moment, the Spiritual Qi in the city seemed to be drawn by something, all flying in one direction.

That was..... the direction of the Three Judicial Departments!

"Boom!"

Just then, a Spiritual Qi vortex nearly a kilometer in size slowly took shape in the void.

"Rumble...."

A kilometer-long purple lightning streaked across the void, and then the sky suddenly darkened, and strong winds arose.

"What on earth is happening!"

Chen Xuan muttered to himself, staring blankly.

Even from several kilometers away, he could feel the immense pressure, and at that moment, his heart trembled slightly.

He was now an expert in the Mid-Stage Profound Realm.

"Whew—"

Chen Xuan exhaled deeply to force himself to calm down.

"What’s going on?"

Two fragrant figures appeared beside him.

"What exactly is that?"

Luan Ying and Ning Xin were both stunned, staring blankly at the distant Spiritual Qi vortex.

But the next moment, Ning Xin suddenly spoke, "Someone is undergoing a realm breakthrough!"

"You mean beyond the Profound Realm?"

Chen Xuan immediately reacted.

"Yes!"

Ning Xin nodded, "Back when Marquis Ning broke through, the disturbance was so great that members of the Great Yu Royal Family came!"

"Moreover, the area within tens of kilometers was cleared!"

At the time, he thought the village chief’s words were exaggerated.

But seeing the situation now, it’s likely he was still too conservative.

After all, Marquis Ning’s talent was top tier even in the long history of the Eastern Continent.

"It should be Zong Peng, the minister of the Three Judicial Departments!"

Chen Xuan instantly guessed.

Recalling Lord Zongzheng’s actions when he instructed Qin Ke the day before.

There was only one outcome, when Zong Peng succeeded in his breakthrough, it would be time to move against the Yang Family.

"But... breaking through the Profound Realm’s barrier is difficult and life-threatening!"

Ning Xin’s words came as a surprise to Chen Xuan.

So he immediately asked, "Why?"

"That’s what the village chief said, the specifics... just wait and see!"

Ning Xin didn’t know either, but she remembered the village chief’s frightened appearance and trembling voice clearly.

"Rumble, rumble...."

One after another, purple lightning appeared in the void.

Moreover, the pressure was growing stronger.

Even Ning Xin and Luan Ying could barely withstand the pressure.

Chen Xuan waved his hand, instantly enveloping the three of them with spiritual power.

He then looked at them and asked, "Better now?"

"Much better!"

The two women spoke simultaneously.

Both of them were only equivalent to the Early-Stage Immortal Grade, and this pressure was overwhelming for them.

"Everyone immediately evacuate to beyond ten kilometers of the Three Judicial Departments; violators will be slain!"

Suddenly!

A terrifying shout echoed, even drowning out the sound of the purple thunder in the void.

The next moment, a figure appeared in Chen Xuan’s sight.

It was Zongzheng!

At this moment, he looked tense, staring up at the void, then looked toward the deepest part of the Three Judicial Departments.

"Brother, you must succeed!"

His hands were tightly clenched into fists!
