The comments said I was deeply affectionate, I just added points by using an alternate account.

What goes around comes around, and it's rare that Su Yuehe wasn't taken hostage.

At this moment, Su Yuehe, who was being criticized in her heart, was sitting in the passenger seat and flipping through the information on the tablet: "The Yin family's ancestral home is in the western suburbs of Shanghai, about a 20-minute drive away."

Hongyuan leaned back in the back seat, arms crossed, staring blankly at the roof.

After a while, she spoke, her voice filled with self-reproach.

"I should have started sooner."

Now, the sadness finally surfaced belatedly; she shouldn't have trusted Yin Chen so much.

"It's no use moving," Chen Guan said silently, sitting next to her.

Although Chen Guan wasn't actually there, he felt that Yin Chen's easy capture might have been his own doing.

Putting everything else aside, Chen Guan knew that Yin Chen had the Frostbone Wolf by his side. Even if he didn't beat Guan Jinyue to a pulp, he certainly wouldn't lose so easily. There weren't even many signs of a fight at the scene.

There's also Red Iris's cheat turtle; even if it's not good at fighting, it's still a decent tank.

But no, nothing at all, and he was taken away so easily.

Given Chen Guan's understanding of Yin Chen, after learning everything, it was impossible for him to be without guilt.

Therefore, he probably volunteered to become a hostage in Guan Jinyue's hands in exchange for his sister regaining her sight.

An Changqing turned his head from the front row.

"It's not your problem. Guan Jinyue's target this time has always been Yin Chen."

"To be precise, it's Yin Tianzheng."

"Yin Chen is just a bargaining chip."

Chen Guan continued, "Guan Jinyue's sister was used by Yin Tianzheng as the core of a living human array and sealed under the Oriental Pearl Tower. She has come this time to take her away."

Everyone looked at him.

An Changqing frowned: "How did you know?"

"She said that herself when I was pursuing her."

Chen Guan lied, and there was no flaw on his face.

I can't exactly say it was a little story that Barr told me.

An Changqing didn't press further; he didn't have time to dwell on the source of the information.

"If what she said is true, then Yin Tianzheng's actions three years ago were indeed problematic."

Long Ao shook his head repeatedly: "That's Yin Tianzheng's fault, Yin Chen is innocent."

"I didn't say we wouldn't save Yin Chen." An Changqing turned around. "I meant that when we go to see Yin Tianzheng, we have to be prepared for him to be uncooperative."

"The thing people who have done something wrong are most afraid of having their past misdeeds brought up."

Su Yuehe added softly, "Moreover, Yin Tianzheng has blocked Yin Chen's number, which means he doesn't want to face this matter at all."

"If that old man doesn't care about his own grandson, I'll be the first to object." Hong Yuan gripped the axe handle tightly.

A low wall flashed past the car window, behind which lay a vast complex of classical buildings, standing out starkly in the prime western suburbs of Shanghai.

The car stopped.

Su Yuehe looked up at the navigation, "We're here."

The main gate of the Yin family ancestral home consists of two three-meter-high black lacquered wooden doors. There is no plaque on the lintel, and the stone lions on both sides cast heavy shadows in the night.

When the group got off the car, the gate was already open.

An elderly man who looked like a butler stood at the door, bowing slightly.

"Please come in, everyone. The master is waiting for you."

An Changqing walked at the front, with the others following behind.

Passing through the screen wall in the front yard and around a rockery, the view suddenly opens up.

The main courtyard of the mansion is very large, with a clean bluestone-paved ground and lanterns hanging on the surrounding pillars, casting a dim yellow light into the courtyard.

In the very center of the courtyard, a person stood with his hands behind his back.

He was dressed in a dark blue Tang suit. He wasn't particularly tall, but his back was ramrod straight, and his gray hair was neatly combed.

He stood there, without making any unnecessary movements, but the air around him was so heavy that it made it difficult to move.

This sense of oppression is not released by supernatural powers, but is something that naturally accumulates in a person who has lived most of their life.

Yin Tianzheng.

An Changqing stopped five steps away, and the others followed suit.

The old man's gaze swept over everyone.

Long Ao, Hong Yuan, Su Yuehe, Chen Guan.

Finally, it landed on An Changqing's face.

"Evergreen".

Yin Tianzheng spoke slowly: "Didn't your father teach you not to compromise with the enemy?"

An Changqing did not back down and met that gaze head-on.

"Mr. Yin, Guan Jinyue has spatial abilities, and his strength is at least at the seventh level."

"She has kidnapped Yin Chen and given you one hour to personally go to the Oriental Pearl Tower to break the seal."

"If you don't go, she will take Yin Chen's life and the entire city of Shanghai with her."

Yin Tianzheng's expression remained unchanged after hearing these words; he didn't even lift his eyelids.

"Anything else?"

"She said that her younger sister is imprisoned beneath that seal." An Changqing stared into the old man's eyes: "You sealed her in there yourself three years ago."

The moment those words were spoken, Yin Tianzheng finally reacted.

His brow twitched.

It was very slight, but everyone present noticed it.

"That girl volunteered," Yin Tianzheng said.

"That's not important." An Changqing took a step forward.

"The important thing is that Yin Chen is now in her hands, and I need you to tell me whether or not that seal can be broken."

Yin Tianzheng remained silent for a moment before speaking: "What do you think is locked inside that seal?"

Everyone's attention was instantly drawn to it.

He turned around, his back to the crowd, and his voice suddenly rose a few decibels.

"That is the remains of a fallen demon god!"

Demon God!

These two words struck everyone's ears, more terrifying than the roars of the monsters outside.

Chen Guan stood at the very back, piecing together all the fragments rapidly in his mind.

The remains of a demon god, the eye of a living formation, connected by spiritual veins.

No wonder the old man resonated with it unconsciously...

"You guessed right."

The image of Bal inside his head kept chuckling, confirming his idea.

The suppressed remains of the demon god and the fallen half-step demon god whose divine essence was taken by the original body are the same demon.

Yin Tianzheng turned around, his gaze sweeping across everyone's face.

"Three years ago, I used the soul of a psychic as the core of the array and connected the seal to the underground spiritual veins of Shanghai to barely suppress that thing."

"Do you know what will happen once the seal is broken?"

No one answered.

"The demon god's remnant body has been revived, the spiritual veins have collapsed, and the rules of space have completely disintegrated."

Yin Tianzheng said, word by word, "Half of Shanghai will be buried with it."

"At that point, it will truly be over. Do you know how much power a demon god, even if it's just an unconscious remnant, possesses? Who will deal with it? How many people will have to die to handle it?"

An Changqing gripped the hilt of his sword tightly.

"What about Yin Chen?"

Yin Tianzheng closed his eyes.
