Chapter 57 The Mastermind Revealed, Underworld Palace Embarks on the Challenge
The Xiao family.
The members of the Xiao and Xia families gathered in the Xiao family hall, each looking somewhat disheveled, and they waited anxiously.
They were taken away by the provincial garrison for investigation, and were only released after all the blame was shifted onto Sun Youde, but they still suffered some hardship.
As soon as they left the military camp, the two families rushed back to the Xiao family home.
Because Xiao Yichen will be released from prison today.
"Master, the young master is back!"
Suddenly a shout came, and everyone's expressions immediately brightened.
Everyone rushed to the door to welcome the true son of the Xiao family.
Amidst their expectant gazes, Xiao Yichen walked in with a gloomy face.
"Yichen, why are you alone? Where is the person who was supposed to pick you up?" Xiao Hongyuan asked with concern.
Xiao Yichen didn't speak, but his expression was grim.
He could still hear Xiao Chen's words to him at the prison gate:
“An ant like you can be crushed by me at will. I’ll spare your life and show you all your abilities. Call as many Heavenly Kings’ Palace people as you can. If you still disappoint me in the end, I’ll chop you up and feed you to the dogs.”
Xiao Yichen clenched his fists, his eyes bloodshot.
When Xiao Chen said those words, his eyes were full of disdain for him, adopting an arrogant attitude of looking down on an ant.
This was unbearable for Xiao Yichen.
That was someone who had once groveled at his feet, begging for mercy. How could he possibly be above him?
"Damn Xiao Chen! I'll make you regret this for the rest of your life!" Xiao Yichen suddenly roared.
The two families looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Little brother, did Xiao Chen do something to you again?" Xiao Yiyi asked angrily.
"He dares to threaten me! No one has ever dared to threaten me, Xiao Yichen! Anyone who threatens me must pay a terrible price!" Xiao Yichen roared.
Xiao Yiyi comforted Xiao Yichen with a look of heartache.
"Yichen, don't feel aggrieved. Next, it will be time for the Xiao family to counterattack!" Xiao Hongyuan patted his shoulder and said, "The entire Xiao family will definitely avenge all the humiliation and resentment you have suffered!"
"We will all help you get revenge!" the entire Xiao family shouted loudly, their voices filled with fervor and inspiring enthusiasm.
At this moment, their morale reached its peak, and they had only one thought in their minds: to deal with Xiao Chen together, to avenge Xiao Yichen, and to avenge the Xiao family!
"And there's my Xia family! My Xia family will always follow in the footsteps of the Xiao family. We are united against a common enemy! Are we afraid of not being able to deal with a pawn?" The Xia family head raised his arm and shouted, and the Xia family members also shouted.
The shouts and cheers resounded, like a passionate mobilization before a righteous army sets out, incredibly enthusiastic.
Thirty kilometers away in a secluded place, Xiao Chen looked at the transmitted images with a cold gaze.
Those unaware of the situation might think that the Xiao and Xia families had suffered some injustice and humiliation, which was why they were so indignant and united in their hatred of the enemy.
"The Xiao family is beyond saving!" Xiao Chen said coldly.
They valued the so-called son of the dragon so highly, unaware that it was just a conspiracy against the Xiao family.
To be so deeply manipulated without even realizing it is utterly ridiculous...
"Are you all ready?" A deep voice suddenly rang out from the screen.
The sound came from somewhere in the Xiao family compound and echoed in the hall.
Xiao Chen's expression hardened slightly.
The sound gave people a sense of unease.
Led by Xiao Hongyuan, the head of the Xiao family, everyone respectfully bowed towards a certain spot.
"Lord Yaksha, what are your instructions?" Xiao Hongyuan asked respectfully.
"Xiao Chen is quite capable; you must not underestimate him," the voice said calmly.
Everyone looked surprised.
They had never given Xiao Chen a second glance, never expecting to receive such a high evaluation from Lord Yaksha.
"Xiao Chen is nothing but a discarded son of my Xiao family. No matter how remarkable he is, what level can he reach? I think that Lord Yaksha and the Heavenly King Palace can crush him as easily as crushing an ant!" Xiao Hongyuan flattered.
The voice in the shadows didn't react.
"The Heavenly King Palace has not yet fully entered the world, so it's not advisable to take too many actions. You'll have to deal with Xiao Chen yourselves."
"The Xiao family will receive substantial financial support, as well as powerful assistance. Don't let us down."
After saying that, the voice went silent.
The Xiao family members were overjoyed upon hearing this.
Xiao Hongyuan received a text message notification and was very excited after glancing at it.
"With such a huge amount of money, what can't my Xiao family do in Nancheng!" he boasted.
Xiao Yiyi and Xiao Shanshan came up and took a look, and were also pleasantly surprised.
"The Heavenly King Palace is truly amazing! Dad, I'll restart all of the Xiao family's projects right now. I'm going to swallow up all the competitors, become number one in Nancheng, and then march into Jinhu!" Xiao Yiyi said confidently.
"Go for it," Xiao Hongyuan agreed with a smile.
"Yi Chen, just wait and see. We will do everything in our power to make you a true superior person. At that time, you will be able to control the fate of others. At that time, if you want to take revenge on Xiao Chen, won't it be a piece of cake?" The Xiao family promised Xiao Yi Chen.
Xiao Yichen nodded, a cold smile appearing on his face.
Off-screen, Xiao Chen frowned.
"Your Majesty, we have found some information about the Heavenly King's Palace after our interrogation," Bai Wu reported.
"explain."
"This Heavenly King Palace is a very ancient and mysterious organization in the Xia Kingdom. It has very few official members, less than a hundred, and very few people know about them..."
"But this organization is not simple. Rumor has it that each of its members is incredibly powerful. Some are highly skilled, some have high status, and some are extremely wealthy, covering various fields. Once they unite, they become a terrifying force."
Xiao Chen frowned even more upon hearing this.
Such a mysterious and extraordinary organization, yet they dare to scheme against a small family like the Xiao family...
After some thought, he came to a conclusion.
The real target of the Heavenly King Palace's schemes should be the Xiao family, a top-tier wealthy family far away in the capital.
There must be some extraordinary secret within our family.
He wasn't interested in these things, but since the Heavenly King Palace had plotted against him, he decided to intervene.
"The leader of the Heavenly King Palace is called the Heavenly King. Even with the powerful intelligence system of the Underworld Palace, we have not obtained any information about him," Bai Wu added.
"Heavenly King..."
Xiao Chen squinted, thinking of that so-called fortune teller.
Will he become a superstar?
And there was that voice from the Xiao family; the Xiao family called him Lord Yaksha.
And what is his identity?
A moment later, Xiao Chen gave a cold laugh.
"My Underworld Palace has finally encountered a challenge," he said indifferently.
"Pass on my order: block the news and prevent the Heavenly King Palace from spying on even the slightest bit of information about my Underworld Palace."
"I hereby command all the troops of the Underworld Palace to maintain a state of combat readiness and await my orders at any time!"
"Yes." Bai Wu accepted the order and left.
Xiao Chen looked down at his feet, his eyes gleaming coldly.
"You are hereby suspended from the War of Concealment. From this day forward, you shall enter the mortal realm. When the King's decree is issued, you shall arrive with lightning speed!"
"As the king commands!"
A clear and resounding voice rang out, as powerful as thunder.
Those were hundreds of men dressed in black, just like the Five Nether Guards...
"Disperse!" Xiao Chen uttered a single word.
In the blink of an eye, the people beneath his feet vanished without a trace...
