After hearing this laughter, Chu Linfeng immediately knew who its owner was. However, at this moment, two pig-killing screams sounded as well. The dantians of two middle-aged men were directly abolished, and their tendons were severed, practically reducing them to complete invalids. Chu Linfeng didn’t even give them a glance but headed toward the owner of the laughter.

"Did you forget your brother now that you’ve returned without giving any notice?" The newcomer looked at Chu Linfeng and said.

"I helped you solve the headache, how are you going to thank me, huh? Besides, I just came back myself. I think my father must have sent someone to inform you, otherwise, you wouldn’t have appeared here. Are you pretending, do you want a beating? By the way, where’s Lin Yue? Why didn’t she come along with you?" Chu Linfeng asked.

"Lin Yue is still grooming and dressing; she’ll be bringing the child over later. As soon as I heard you were back, I rushed over immediately, didn’t even bring any attendants—how sincere is that?" The newcomer said.

"You all have children already, that’s really fast. I didn’t expect I would be an uncle now; time really flies!" Chu Linfeng laughed, feeling very happy inside that Chu Linyue had children.

"Qingkong, you’re actually a prince, I thought you were joking back then!" Nie Ling’Er walked over and said.

Soon, all the females came over, and Yuwen Qingkong knew them naturally. After exchanging a few brief words, the topic shifted, "What happened to these four people? Why did you cripple them? This is a considerable loss to our Celestial Dragon Empire."

"A loss, huh? Do you want me to compensate you? They dared to threaten me, not killing them is already lenient. Let’s go, we’ll return to the General’s Mansion for a drink, let Ruoxi and the others continue to shop. If anyone else acts recklessly, just kill them on the spot, don’t bother about their identities." Chu Linfeng said.

Yuwen Qingkong rolled his eyes at Chu Linfeng and said, "You troublemaker, you’ll be stirring up chaos on the court tomorrow for sure. Let’s drink first, we’ll deal with tomorrow’s trouble tomorrow."

Chu Linfeng had the guards go directly to confiscate the properties of the two individuals, expelling everyone in the mansion, regardless of age or gender, from the Imperial City, and banning them from entering for life. If discovered, they would be executed without mercy.

In an instant, Chu Linfeng destroyed two key figures on the court. Now the people in the Imperial City understood that everything that happened before was just his pretense; he was teasing the opponents, never actually considering them. Some who originally harbored biases against Chu Linfeng suddenly began to regard him with reverence.

Soon after Chu Linfeng and Yuwen Qingkong returned, Wei Qun, Luo Lin, and Grand General Luo also arrived, naturally engaging in a round of catching up. They were all startled to learn that Chu Linfeng had become a top-tier presence.

Meanwhile, Ye Suping and the other women thoroughly enjoyed shopping in the Imperial City, purchasing anything that caught their eye. Although many were curious about their identity, after the incident with the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, no one dared disrespect them. Many actively avoided them, fearful of bringing trouble upon themselves.

When they came back, Chu Linyue arrived with a child over one year old. Seeing Chu Linyue’s child, Chu Linfeng was also joyous. The banquet officially began at that moment.

Everyone naturally kept toasting Chu Linfeng, including Luo Lin, who had now stepped out of Chu Linfeng’s shadow, happily chatting during the banquet, alleviating Chu Linfeng’s initial guilt.

At the end of the banquet, Chu Linfeng took out several Netherworld Purple Orchids and said, "This Netherworld Purple Orchid is the key to breaking through to the Saint Martial Realm. It’s become very scarce in the Netherworld now, so I hope you can take good care of it. Once you reach the Ninth Layer of the Divine Martial Realm, then absorb its energy for a breakthrough. I hope everyone can achieve a stronger strength.

Tomorrow, I will return to Canglan Ancient Land. If you encounter any difficulties, feel free to come to Canglan Ancient Land to find me. Even if I am not there, someone will be able to help you with your issues."

Afterward, Chu Linfeng gave one to Grand General Luo, another to Luo Lin, and five to Yuwen Qingkong, startling him profoundly. Finally, when it was Wei Qun’s turn, Chu Linfeng asked: "Are you coming with me to Canglan Ancient Land, or will you stay here? Decide for yourself!"

"I’d rather stay here; I still have my wife and children here. Once I’ve fully restored the memories in my mind, I might come to Canglan Ancient Land to find you, and it’ll surely surprise you. But for now, I won’t tell you." Wei Qun said.

Chu Linfeng also gave him one and said: "No matter where you are, you’re my brother. If you run into trouble, come find me, through thick and thin!"

Wei Qun nodded, feeling his life was worth it to have made a friend like Chu Linfeng. He believed that once his memories fully recover, someday he would surely be able to help him—it was this belief that caused Chu Linfeng’s reputation to rise in the Immortal Realm...

Afterward, everyone reluctantly returned, and Chu Linfeng felt a slight pang of loss. Even the most delightful banquets must eventually end; separation is inevitable. At this moment, he could deeply empathize with the feelings of Kong Feifei and the other three women far away in the Netherworld.

That night, Chu Linfeng didn’t get close to any woman; with too many women, it’s hard to choose. Instead, he sat on the rooftop throughout the night, pondering deeply...

The next morning, everyone was prepared, especially Tang Li and Yang Rui, who couldn’t wait to arrive at the legendary Canglan Ancient Land. Only Sima Jingyi seemed a bit melancholy. Chu Linfeng knew her thoughts, so he quietly decided to leave the City Lord’s Mansion to his father, while Lin Ruoxi’s father would be cared for through Yuwen Qingkong’s advancement.

Chu Yuanba looked over and said to Chu Linfeng, "Feng’er, let’s go!" Since only Chu Yuanba’s power was too weak, while others could fly, Chu Linfeng directly let the Golden Demon Vulture transform into its original form for everyone to ride.

Now that the Golden Demon Vulture’s power had improved, its flying speed was much faster, taking just half a day to reach the mysterious teleportation array that leads to Canglan Ancient Land.

This teleportation array only becomes visible at night, and Chu Linfeng had encountered it twice, so he was well aware of this. He idled away his time by catching numerous fish from the river and showcased his barbecuing skills, earning endless praise from the others, amusing him as he recalled using grilled fish to tempt Qing Ruming and Nie Ling’Er in the past.

After passing through the teleportation array, everyone found themselves in the Magic Beast Forest, while the Golden Demon Vulture continued its rapid flight, reaching the West King Hall by afternoon. The Celestial Ape offered Chu Linfeng and the others a night’s rest at the West King Hall, but he declined. Now crossing through the teleportation gate meant arriving at the Green Frost Sect; despite being away for not long, he worried the Dark Forces might stir up anything, as Xiao Qiang, once he starts drinking, forgets his limits. He had to return to check. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

The Celestial Ape didn’t insist when Chu Linfeng declined, only asking him to visit when possible. Just as Chu Linfeng and the others were about to enter the teleportation gate, a boy about ten years old appeared in front of him, giving a slight smile, "Brother, heading back without waiting for me?"
