Wu Guan Jia and Ling Er also arrived. Upon learning that they were experts from the Chen family, Ling Er's anger flared. She was about to go out to confront them but was firmly held back by Wu Guan Jia: "Eldest Miss, do not act rashly. The Wu family dares to make a move in Chengdu, they must be well-prepared. If a conflict truly erupts, it might lead to a bloodbath in the City Lord's mansion."
"My father is the Xuan Emperor. If they dare to do this, my father won't let them off easily!" Ling Er's voice was arrogant, carrying an air of authority, as if to her, all of this was beneath consideration.
Wu Guan Jia, however, shook his head: "Things are not that simple. The Chen family's audacity suggests they might have already offended someone based on some whispers. If the Xuan Emperor meets with an accident, perhaps..."
"Impossible! My father is so powerful, how could anything happen to him!" Ling Er shook her head, her gaze becoming more serious, as if in her eyes, her father was an invincible being, whom no one could harm.
"I am merely a little worried, Miss need not pay too much mind to it!" Wu Guan Jia quickly said.
"They are here for me!" Lu Fan stood up and said, "As long as I show myself, they naturally won't dare to barge in easily!"
"No, you cannot go!" Ling Er quickly stopped Lu Fan, "If you go out, the Chen family will become even more emboldened and attack you directly. I absolutely will not allow such a thing to happen!"
"Silly girl, since I dare to go out, I naturally have a plan. You don't need to worry about me." Lu Fan shrugged and smiled, as if everything was under control.
Ling Er did not believe him. This matter was of grave importance, and the Chen family had long harbored murderous intentions towards Lu Fan. If Lu Fan truly went out like this, he would face a devastating blow, which Ling Er did not wish to see.
"Miss, even if he remains within the City Lord's mansion, he may not be able to protect himself!" Wu Guan Jia stated frankly, "It would be better to let him go out; perhaps there is still a sliver of hope."
"This..."
Ling Er stood frozen, her expression shifting slightly. If Wu Guan Jia's words were true, and her father had met with trouble, then the City Lord's mansion might not be safe.
"We will accompany you!" Lei Ba Tian spoke up, "I am the Captain of the City Lord's Guard. You are part of my guard unit, and I will naturally protect you!"
"That's right, we will go out together!" The guards of the unit chimed in, showing great loyalty.
Lu Fan smiled: "Your words are enough, but you do not need to accompany me. I can go out alone!"
"No!"
Ling Er said coldly, "You are a member of my City Lord's mansion. How can I let you face them alone? If the Chen family truly intends to rebel, then let them tread over my dead body!"
After speaking, Ling Er strode out of the City Lord's mansion with determination in her eyes. Perhaps in her mind, the Chen family did not possess such audacity to lay hands on her.
"Miss, absolutely not!" Wu Guan Jia rushed forward, his heart filled with worry. He knew very well that if the Chen family harbored rebellious intentions, it would surely cause unrest and endless trouble.
At the same time, Lu Fan had already arrived outside the City Lord's mansion. He looked towards the more than ten men in black, a faint smile on his face, "Does the Chen family truly have to act so deviously? If you want to deal with me, why play these mysterious games and not show your true faces!"
"Tsk tsk... you little brat, you won't escape today!" The leading man in black sneered, "We have already laid a net in Xuan Emperor City. Even if you have countless doppelgangers, you cannot escape!"
"This is Xuan Emperor City, not a place for you to run wild!"
With a surge of anger, Ling Er ran out from the City Lord's mansion, appearing incredibly imposing. But in that instant, a burst of spiritual energy erupted. Ling Er's face changed drastically, and she quickly retreated into the mansion. The spiritual energy vanished in a flash, but if Ling Er had not dodged, she would have been cut in two.
"Emperor level aura!"
Wu Guan Jia frowned, his expression grim. He had not expected the Chen Family Head to be so direct, even disregarding Ling Er's life.
Ling Er was also terrified. It was her first time facing such an imposing presence, and she was stunned. She had never imagined the Chen Family Head to be so overbearing, showing no intention of holding back.
"You are here to deal with me, why frighten her!" Lu Fan shrugged, "Today, even if you have laid a net, I will still try to break through!"
"Good lad, you certainly have courage!" The Chen Family Head sneered coldly, "I want to see what means you possess to utter such words!"
Following these words, Lu Fan instantly soared into the air, exuding an aura with a cold glint in his eyes.
The leading man in black did not hesitate and directly charged into the sky, intending to capture Lu Fan. After all, in his perception, Lu Fan was already a trapped beast, with no suspense.
Ling Er stood within the City Lord's mansion, filled with worry but unsure what to do. The Chen family's actions clearly showed they did not regard the City Lord's mansion with respect. With the Xuan Emperor absent from the mansion, she felt a sense of helplessness.
"Miss, the Chen family is arrogant. Be absolutely sure not to conflict with them!" Wu Guan Jia advised, "Wait for the Xuan Emperor's return. Once he is back, these debts will eventually be settled!"
Ling Er nodded slightly, feeling somewhat moved. At this point, she understood the situation very clearly.
Meanwhile, Lu Fan had reached mid-air. However, the leading man in black blocked his path, a cold smile on his face. In his eyes, Lu Fan was already a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
"This is Xuan Emperor City. Who are you people? How dare you cause such a commotion here!"
At that very moment, an icy voice sounded. A figure shot into the sky, fixing his gaze directly on the elder in black. His aura was terrifying, having reached the Half-Emperor level.
"It's the Zhao Family Head! The Zhao Family Head has made his move!" Wu Guan Jia exclaimed with joy. The Zhao Family Head was also a Half-Emperor. If he sided with the City Lord's mansion, Xuan Emperor City would not fall into chaos.
"This matter has nothing to do with the Zhao family. It is best for the Zhao family not to wade into this muddy water!" The leading man in black's voice was cold as he stared directly at the Zhao Family Head, exuding an aura of pressure.
The Zhao Family Head was unconcerned and coldly stated, "As one of the three major family heads of Xuan Emperor City, how can I stand by and watch Xuan Emperor City descend into crisis? Who are you people, daring to even threaten Miss Ling Er? Are you seeking your own demise!"
Following these words, the leading man in black's face turned ashen. The Zhao Family Head's words were clearly intentional.
