Hearing this, Ling Fei’s expression turned frigid. "Brat, I was looking for you. I didn’t expect you to come here to die."

Ling Fei snorted coldly and slammed his hand on the table. The moment it shattered, he shot forward, stepping on the head of a kneeling man to launch himself into the air. The man’s skull instantly burst open, sending the others nearby scattering in terror.

Seizing the opportunity, Ling Fei rushed toward Chen Xiao and threw a punch accompanied by the faint roar of a wild beast. The blow was immense and heavy, delivered with furious momentum!

"Martial Skills?" Chen Xiao said with astonishment. "It seems you actually learned something from your Hidden Sect!"

Martial Skills were techniques used in tandem with Cultivation Techniques, allowing a Martial Artist to unleash greater combat power. Fist Techniques, Stick Techniques, Swordsmanship, and Blade Techniques all fell under the category of Martial Skills. However, the martial skills of the secular world could not compare to those from the Cultivation World. They offered only a limited increase in strength, whereas the skills from the Hidden Sects were far more powerful.

Chen Xiao held out his hands and unleashed a burst of Qi Force, completely dispersing the power of Ling Fei’s punch. He then clapped his palms together, enveloping the incoming fist!

"Die." Ling Fei’s other fist flew toward Chen Xiao’s face.

Chen Xiao sidestepped the attack. The fierce power of the punch grazed his cheek, leaving behind a stinging pain.

"Not bad!" Ling Fei’s expression grew grim. He had already reached the Grandmaster Peak realm, so for this brat to withstand a couple of his blows was quite impressive.

But in the next second, a tremendous force assailed him.

CRACK! CRACK!

Chen Xiao brutally twisted his arm, snapping it.

Ling Fei’s face contorted. He immediately threw a punch with his free hand to break Chen Xiao’s hold. After landing, he stumbled back seven or eight steps, his face a mask of horror.

Chen Xiao adopted the Big Dipper stance, his Fist Techniques becoming broad and ferocious! Ling Fei, already down one arm, was forced into one perilous situation after another. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

He suddenly roared, "Fiery Palm!"

A scorching aura erupted from his palm, surging toward Chen Xiao!

"You think you’re the only one with Martial Skills?"

Chen Xiao let out a cold laugh as Tianyang Xuanqi gathered in his palm, coalescing into what looked like a miniature sun. Its scorching aura felt as if it could evaporate a man on the spot.

The moment they collided, Ling Fei was sent flying. He crashed heavily to the ground, and to everyone’s shock, his entire hand had been burned into a lump of charred flesh.

Chen Xiao continued to walk toward him.

Ling Fei staggered to his feet, his face a mixture of terror and rage. He roared, "Brat, my Qinglan Sect is one of the Eight Hidden Sects of the Kunlun Mountains! If I die here, my master will hunt you down and grind your bones to dust!"

"Oh," Chen Xiao responded indifferently. The next moment, he simply twisted Ling Fei’s neck.

Ling Fei’s eyes bulged as blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. He died with his eyes wide open, unable to rest in peace.

The other members of the Ling Family collapsed in fear. Chen Xiao’s cold gaze swept over them as he spoke, enunciating each word. "From this day forward, I don’t want to hear the name ’Ling Family’ in Zhonghai ever again."

"GET LOST—!"

At his roar, the members of the Ling Family fled in terror, vanishing in the blink of an eye. The other families who had been planning to surrender also scattered like birds and beasts.

After dealing with Ling Fei, Chen Xiao called Qin Lan to tell her the news.

Qin Lan was slightly shocked. "You dealt with him that quickly?"

"There was no point in keeping him alive," Chen Xiao shrugged. "The sooner it’s handled, the sooner we can relax. You can rest easy now."

"That’s my man," Qin Lan complimented with a chuckle. "I’m planning to cook dinner tonight. Want to come over?"

Chen Xiao, of course, accepted the invitation.

「After a night of intimacy.」

Chen Xiao left Qin Lan’s large villa. Meanwhile, Zhu Baixi had already booked a flight to return to the Jinling Jiang Family and seize power. After informing Zhang Yaqing of his plans, Chen Xiao joined Zhu Baixi on the trip to Jinling.

In the first-class cabin of the flight from Zhonghai to Jinling, Chen Xiao was reclining in his seat with his eyes closed. Zhu Baixi came over from the adjacent seat and casually pulled down the privacy partition.

"What are you doing over here?" Chen Xiao opened his eyes.

"I was worried you’d get bored," Zhu Baixi said, settling onto Chen Xiao’s lap.

"So, what’s the situation in Jinling?" Chen Xiao asked, casually wrapping his arms around her.

"The Jiang Family is leaderless and in complete chaos. Everyone wants a piece of the pie," Zhu Baixi began. "The other powers in Jinling are also hoping to take a bite. There are even some people outside the family trying to use the strength of other families to seize assets. However, it seems they’ve forgotten about me... the legitimate heir."

Chen Xiao narrowed his eyes. "How strong are these factions you’re talking about?"

"They’re mediocre at best. When Jiang Baifeng was still around, these riff-raff wouldn’t have dared to show their faces. Their attempts to stir up trouble now are completely useless."

"Hmm. If we can deal with them all at once, that would be for the best. It saves us the trouble."

Zhu Baixi whispered in his ear, "It’s still over an hour until we reach Jinling."

As she spoke, a seductive glint appeared in her eyes, and her hands began to wander.

Chen Xiao took a sharp breath. "The soundproofing in here isn’t great."

Zhu Baixi whispered back, "Don’t you move. I’ll be in control."

Before long, a long-legged flight attendant pushing a trolley stopped beside Chen Xiao’s seat and asked respectfully, "Sir, can I get you anything?"

"Thank you, but we don’t need anything," came Chen Xiao’s slightly strained voice from behind the partition.

Hearing the flight attendant’s voice only seemed to make Zhu Baixi more daring. Just then, the attendant finally heard faint sounds coming from behind the partition, and a blush crept up her cheeks.

"Very well, sir. My apologies for the disturbance," she said, practically fleeing as she pushed the trolley away, her face burning.

She pushed the trolley through the first-class cabin. When she passed Chen Xiao’s seat again, she couldn’t help but pause, an astonished look crossing her face. It’s been almost half an hour, and the rhythm hasn’t even changed... Is he a bull in there?

Suddenly, she heard a suppressed whimper. As a woman, she knew exactly what that meant. Her face grew even hotter, and she quickly pushed the trolley away.

"You’re so bad!" Zhu Baixi said, her voice weak as she playfully slapped his chest. "Every time you heard her footsteps, you acted up on purpose, trying to make me make a fool of myself."

Chen Xiao smirked. "Isn’t this what you wanted?"

It took a long while for Zhu Baixi to recover a bit of her strength, after which she carefully wiped the sweat from him.

「More than ten minutes later.」

The plane finally landed.

Hand in hand, the two of them emerged.

Two flight attendants were standing in the first-class cabin—one with a sweet face, the other tall and statuesque. They both bowed to the couple, their beautiful eyes holding a knowing look.

Zhu Baixi appeared calm on the surface but didn’t dare to meet their gazes. She acted as if nothing was amiss as she walked out of the first-class cabin, secretly pinching Chen Xiao’s waist.

After all the first-class passengers had deplaned, the sweet-faced flight attendant whispered to her long-legged colleague, "So that’s the passenger you were talking about?"

"He’s quite handsome... hehe... and so vigorous, too."

"Stop drooling," the long-legged attendant laughed. "Did you see the woman he’s with? Her aura, her figure... she’s an absolute bombshell!"

The sweet-faced attendant pouted. "If I met a passenger like that, I’d pay for the privilege! It’s so much better than those creepy guys with beer bellies, right? Being groped by one of them is enough to make you feel disgusted for a whole year..."

While the two flight attendants were gossiping, Chen Xiao and Zhu Baixi had already reached the airport exit.

The moment they stepped outside, several men hurried over and bowed to Zhu Baixi. "Madam!"

Zhu Baixi explained to Chen Xiao, "These are my subordinates. I called ahead and had them come pick me up."

"Madam, we were worried you had met with an accident as well. It’s wonderful that you’re safe and sound! The Jiang Family desperately needs you to take charge right now!"

Zhu Baixi nodded slightly. "Alright, take me back."

The men ushered Zhu Baixi and Chen Xiao into a car.

Not long after they got in, the car began heading down a remote road.

Chen Xiao raised an eyebrow. "Is this the way to the Jiang Family estate?"

"No," Zhu Baixi replied, her expression turning grim.

The driver said, "Madam, the Jiang estate isn’t safe right now. We’re taking you somewhere else to lie low for a while."

"Oh, really?" Zhu Baixi nodded. "Then you handle the arrangements."

With Chen Xiao by her side, why would she be afraid of whatever schemes these small fries might have in mind?
