The main city of Twilight has seven top families who control the entire city, both inside and out, making them the true uncrowned kings of this main city.

The Yun family is very strong, and although the Yue family has fallen on hard times, its foundation should not be underestimated.

But even such a large family dares not underestimate a junior member of the Luo family!

Because the Luo family is too powerful!
The Luo family, also known as the Angel Luo, has almost all of its direct descendants following the path of angels.

Angels are the complete opposite of the legendary Twilight Realm, which comes from hell. It is said that the Luo family's angelic path was modified from the secret methods of a small world.

Back then, when they fought in that small angel world, the number of powerful figures who participated exceeded an even number, and at the last moment before the angel world was destroyed, they even took three powerful figures with them.

This demonstrates just how powerful angels are, and their power has been greatly enhanced after the angelic path was transformed into a profession exclusive to the Luo family.

Only the top families can stand against the top families!

Luo Family
A smiling young man walked briskly out of the huge and luxurious black manor amidst the respectful greetings of his servants.

"Damn it, they actually sent me to a place like the outer circle. All I did was almost sleep with a politician's daughter, and I didn't even actually sleep with her, yet they banished me like this. Those old bastards are really damned!"

"And that congressman, he actually dared to sue me. I'll kill him sooner or later. No, I can't let them off too easily."

As Love muttered nervously, a burly figure appeared behind him, the sunlight casting a shadow that completely enveloped him.

"Young Master Luo, the master has instructed that you have gone too far this time. He hopes you can achieve something in the outer circle!"

"My lord, a team of Five Elements Angels has been arranged to wait for you on your way to the outer circle."

"I see!"

The towering figure, having received the reply, quickly disappeared from Love's sight, taking one step at a time.

"The Five Elements Angels, huh?"

Love gave a nervous smile: "Going to the outer circle is fine too, we can take care of that councilor's family first!"

"I've already been relegated to the outer circle, so this little thing shouldn't be a problem!"

The outer circle, the Pavilion of a Hundred Beasts.

The day after attending the banquet, Chen Jiuge received his payment.

"Little guy, you can't let me down!"

Level 6 citizenship, Heavenly Dragon Essence Blood, and the Ten Perfect Heavenly Martial Arts—any one of these three would be considered a meteoric rise for an ordinary person.

However, Chen Jiuge gave all three items to his adopted daughter.

It wasn't that Chen Jiuge had a saintly heart, but rather that she had the will but not the power.

Whether in the Heavenly Realm, the True Realm, or the Heavenly Gift Realm, no matter which world she was in, no matter how difficult things were at the beginning, Chen Jiuge had great confidence in herself. However, in the Twilight Realm, her confidence was not so strong.

This is not just because the Chaos Pearl's power is starting to lag behind, but because the Twilight Realm is too complex.

Even though the Great Luo Realm only corresponds to the second level of cultivation in the Twilight Realm, why does one's cultivation level increase faster after arriving in the Twilight Realm?
Moreover, isn't the upper limit of an ordinary small world just the Great Luo realm? Why would Yunyan, whose cultivation level is as high as level six, be trapped in a small world?

All of this made Chen Jiuge feel very uneasy and uncertain.

"This world is truly terrifying. What kind of existence are these so-called powerful beings? And just how strong are those who break through limits?"

Chen Jiuge desperately wanted to know all of this, but it was like trying to catch the moon's reflection in water—unattainable.

"It will take me at least ten years to break through to the seventh level of cultivation. Rather than wasting resources on myself, I might as well gamble on this child!"

Yao Yao's talent is terrifying, and Chen Jiuge has very high expectations for her.

"Cuckoo"

Yao Yao, who was suckling at the breast milk, had no idea what Chen Jiuge was thinking. Her big, black pearl-like eyes were squinted happily. This breast milk tasted really good!

"Mr. Chen, someone is looking for you!"

"Find me?"

Chen Jiuge was somewhat surprised. Apart from having some minor relationship with Yue Zexuan in the outer circle, he had no connection with anyone else. Well, it would be the same in the inner circle.

Given his limited strength, Chen Jiuge was unwilling to get involved in unnecessary trouble, and reducing diplomacy was the best approach.

"Bring it over!"

The newcomer was a delicate-looking young girl, but her features revealed a resilient character.

"Who are you? Do we know each other?" Chen Jiuge asked, somewhat puzzled.

"I don't know you, and I don't know you either, but someone sent me to find you!"

Die Dongxue took out a jade pendant with a huge character 'cloud' engraved on it.

"The Yun family token?" Chen Jiuge was startled. He also had one of these jade tokens, but he had given it to Axi to keep things under control.

"Who sent you?!"

“Mr. Chen, you should be familiar with him.”

"I see."

Chen Jiuge frowned slightly and asked, "Are you in any trouble?"

A deep-seated hatred flashed in Die Dongxue's eyes: "If there were no trouble, that lord wouldn't have sent me here."

"Too!"

Chen Jiuge gave a wry smile, then said seriously, "If it's convenient, I hope you can explain in detail. After all, taking you in is unavoidable, so whether for your own sake or for mine, I need to understand the specifics."

A hint of struggle flashed in Die Dongxue's eyes, but when she realized that she was all alone now, her expression suddenly became calm.

“My name is Die Dongxue. My father is Die Qing, one of the twelve councilors of Twilight City.”

“At a banquet, Luo Fu of the Luo family took a liking to me. I did not agree, and he tried to forcibly take me, but my father’s guards discovered it. My father offended the Luo family in order to seek justice for me!”

"And then your father was killed by the Luo family because of this?" Chen Jiuge asked.

Die Dongxue nodded sadly.

Chen Jiuge nodded. This plot was exactly the same as the melodramatic novels from her previous life. Wherever the female lead went, she would cause huge trouble. When she knew there was no way to escape, the protagonist would appear.

"and many more!"

Chen Jiuge's pupils contracted. Wasn't his current position just like that of an NPC being sacrificed in a melodramatic plot?
Shaking off the jumbled thoughts in her mind, Chen Jiuge asked in a deep voice, "I don't know much about the Luo family. I only know that they are one of the seven top families in Twilight City, but councilors should be the most important figures at the top. Is it too frivolous to say that they would be wiped out just because of a junior member of the Luo family?"

"That's not the case; there's no comparison between the two!"

Die Dongxue explained, "The twelve councilors are for the benefit of the ordinary people in Twilight City."

"Nine out of the twelve members of parliament are from prominent families, leaving only three seats for others to compete for."

"Therefore, in the eyes of many people in the inner circle, there are only nine members of parliament. People like my father, who have no background, are not even considered members of parliament, even if he sits in the position of member of parliament."

"Then what makes your father qualified for this position?" Chen Jiuge asked, puzzled.

"Because of reputation."

"Reputation?" Chen Jiuge shook his head slightly. In this dog-eat-dog world, this thing really has no use.

"So the Luo family is still hunting you down?"

"That's right. My father knew that offending the Luo family would definitely lead to trouble, so he arranged for the family to flee to the outer city that very night. However, we were ambushed, and my father chose to cover our retreat in order to protect me."

"If I may ask, what is your father's cultivation level?"

"A 'Great Limit'—to become a councilor, the minimum requirement is a 'Great Limit' of cultivation, followed by prestige." "A 'Great Limit'?"

"Levels one through nine are called the mortal realm. The limit breaker is an existence that breaks through the limit. The realms within are divided according to the number of times the limit has been broken."

"Is level nine or above a major limitation?"

"Yes."

"A maximum of nine limit breaks can be performed, but this is very difficult. Generally speaking, as long as you can break through the limit more than three times, you can break through to become a Cocoon Breaker, which is also known as a Great Power."

"Three times, nine times, that's quite a big difference!"

Although Die Dongxue didn't say it explicitly, Chen Jiuge knew without even thinking that the number of times one broke through limits was related to the strength of one after becoming a Breaker.

"Hmph, I have a question. The people from the Luo family who ambushed you were at least at the Great Limit of cultivation. Do you think my Hundred Beasts Pavilion can withstand them?"

"Those who have broken through the limits can no longer act arbitrarily in the outer circle, especially in certain industries within the outer circle!"

“If they make a move, the Ten Courts will intervene, which is unacceptable to them.”

"The councilor and the Ten Courts are not in cahoots?" Chen Jiuge asked, somewhat surprised.

The Ten Palaces are the official forces of Twilight City, while the councilors are, to put it bluntly, representatives of the family forces in Twilight City. It's already quite good that the two don't fight each other to the death, let alone be on the same side.

"Of course not. The Ten Palaces are the Ten Palaces, and the councilors are the councilors. They are obviously different."

"I see."

Chen Jiuge still had many questions in his heart, but seeing the tired look on Die Dongxue's face, he temporarily suppressed his questions, thinking that there was plenty of time in the future and there was no need to rush.

Chen Jiuge asked Axi to arrange accommodation for Die Dongxue, while he pondered how to proceed.

"According to Die Dongxue, the Luo family is still hunting him down. Although there is a powerful expert of the Great Limit by his side, they cannot attack without reason."

"Although I don't know what the punishment will be for those who break through limits to make a move in the outer circle, judging from Die Dongxue's lack of concern, it probably won't be too easy. At least neither the Hundred Beasts Pavilion nor I am worth the risk of a person who breaks through limits making a move."

"However, it's too dangerous to rely on other people's choices to take risks. Because a woman who's capable of wiping out a politician's entire family is capable of anything!"

"But the Luo family probably won't come to the outer circle!"

On the sewage-filled streets, Love swaggered down the middle of the road with a group of five angels.

"Looking for death!"

A large truck suddenly appeared around the bend ahead. The driver seemed to have had a few drinks; his head, sticking out of the window, was quite red, and his speech was very direct and fluent.

Stopping the fire angel from making a move, Love said with a smile, "Don't bother with trash."

"I know, I know!"

Lov led his men to the roadside, and the truck driver slowly drove past them.

"I was terrified! I thought it was some big shot, but it's just a nobody!"

"I still can't drink and drive from now on, it's easy to make mistakes."

"boom!"

The violent explosion was dazzling in the dimly lit street.

"call"

Blowing a puff of smoke from his fingertips, Lof smiled and said, "I don't care about trash, but if it's not even as good as trash, then I can't stand it."

"Young Master is right!"

"Hehe, you're the kind of person who's easiest to hear!"

The Water Angel smiled and bowed, nodding. The other four angels disapproved of the Water Angel's behavior. They were all Limit Breakers, and even in the powerful Luo family, they had a certain degree of autonomy.

"Alright, enough with the nonsense, where is that little bitch?"

"do not know."

Earth Angel shook his head and said, "When Die Qing stopped us, Die Dongxue's signal disappeared."

"Disappeared?"

"Wasn't it said that her mechanical heart had already been located?"

"Young Master, the Mechanical Heart is not omnipotent, and besides, she is the daughter of a senator; she couldn't possibly be unaware of such inside information!"

"That's right, but I don't want to hear it!"

"You'll be in charge of this. I expect you to get her to me within seven days."

Water Angel's expression changed slightly, then she spun around and said with a smile, "Yes, young master, I guarantee there won't be any problems."

"Hmm, where is the place the old man arranged for me to stay?"

The Golden Angel was the leader of the five, and he was the only one summoned by the Master regarding Love's exile to the outer circle.

"Young Master, the Master hasn't arranged accommodation for you. He hopes you'll have to work for yourself." The Golden Angel's voice was grating; you wouldn't forget it after hearing it once.

"Huh? I'll arrange it myself? Has the old man gone mad?"

"Fine, where's the best spot on the outer ring? Let's go rob it!"

"I'm eager to try," said Lov.

"Sorry, young master, you can't get those places."

"Oh, you're kidding me?"

The Wood Angel said softly, "The most extravagant place should be the Dark Star headquarters, but we are no match for the Dark Star Grand Commander stationed there, and they will not care about the Luo family's identity."

"There are a few scenic spots, but they are mostly established by top-tier families. If we were to rely on ourselves, we would probably be driven out."

"As for the forces established by the locals in the outer circle, they may not dare to offend the Luo family, but if the young master goes too far, they will probably fight to the death. With our strength, we may not be able to protect the young master completely."

"If you don't mind taking a risk, young master, we'd be happy to accompany you."

Looking at the gentle and beautiful face of the wooden angel, Love's lips twitched, unsure of what to say.

Although coming to the outer circle is like being exiled, it's really just a way to escape the criticism from the inner circle. Now that I want to have some fun, I have to take risks instead, so what's the point?

The Wood Angel is also the only one among the five angels who is not afraid of offending Love.

Every wooden angel is an exceptionally skilled physician. If it weren't for the Luo family's angelic cultivation method, such physicians would never have joined the Luo family as guards.

Even now, if Luo Fu or the Luo family asks the Wooden Angel to do something excessive, she can simply leave.

The Ten Courts of Justice welcome the addition of highly skilled physicians.

"Alright, let's just find somewhere to take a nap!"

The five men remained motionless, and Lov's face darkened: "Don't tell me you have no money!"

"It's not that we don't have money, it's that the master hasn't given us any operating funds. That's the situation right now!"

The Earth Angel counted on his fingers and said, "Young Master, you owe us money for a field mission, and you also owe us money for a battle against the enemy. In addition, you need to settle the monthly expenses of your accompanying guards."

"Stop, stop, stop."

Love said with a dark expression, "Forget it, I'll give you double when I get back!"

Upon hearing this, the Earth Angel finally withdrew its fingers, satisfied. (End of Chapter)
