Tomb raiding: Those who achieve immortality all have tattoos.

Black Bear hadn't spoken until now, and was momentarily stunned that he hadn't had a chance to appear. He immediately stood up and caught up with Chen Yan: "Hey, Fourth Master, where's I, the blind man? You have to protect me!"

Seeing Chen Yan about to leave, Xie Yuchen immediately stepped forward and grabbed Wu Xie, saying, "Let's go!"

Wang Yueban wanted to say something, but Zhang Qiling pulled him away.

They followed behind Chen Yan, and Chen's henchmen, who appeared downstairs at some unknown time, surrounded them tightly in the middle.

Chen Yan was not afraid at all. Instead, he smiled and said to the people on the first floor, "Don't worry, everyone. If I have any more clues, I will let you know. After all, although I am from the Northern School, I am also a businessman. I am happy to do things that can make money."

Everyone: Wow, you're obviously really happy! Stop laughing!

Chen Yan and his group left the Crescent Hotel.

These people wanted to leave, but they had to pay first; otherwise, they wouldn't be able to leave the Crescent Moon Hotel. All the thugs in the Crescent Moon Hotel came out, including the group that Chen Yan had specifically left to protect Yin Nanfeng, who hadn't shown up on the fifth floor.

Seeing Chen Yan about to get into the car, Xie Yuchen called out, "Chen Yan! Let's talk!"

Chen Yan did not answer, but bent down and got into the car, saying, "Master Jie, see you at the Chen family."

Xie Yuchen immediately grabbed Wu Xie: "Wu Xie, wake up! We have to get to the Chen family right now, or we'll be dead on the way!"

Wu Xie forced himself to stay awake and nodded. The four of them got into the car, and Wang Yueban drove, following Chen Yan's car.

When the group arrived at Chen Yan's alley, Zhang Qiling suddenly said, "There are people here, a lot of them."

A lot of people?

As Wang Yueban drove, he craned his neck to look around and said, "Hey buddy, I don't see anyone here."

Xie Yuchen, sitting in the back, said, "Most of the people under Chen Yan's command are not tomb raiders, but mercenaries. It seems that Chen Yan knew all along that from today onwards, the Chen family will be the most dangerous place within the Nine Gates."

Wu Xie asked, puzzled, "Then why would he do that? Is he really that confident he'll be alright?"

The more people there are, the easier it is for something to go wrong, isn't it?

Xie Yuchen shook his head: "I don't know either, so we need to talk to him."

The Huo family.

Upon receiving the news, Huo Xiangu's face turned even paler. Chen Yan, Chen Yan actually dared not to speak, and even completely exposed all the secrets of the Nine Gates!

Huo Xiangu immediately ordered, "Men, from today onwards, no one is allowed to leave the Huo family without permission. At the same time, mobilize everyone to patrol in three shifts without interruption to protect everyone in the Huo family."

"No one is allowed to act without authorization. Anyone who acts without authorization is no longer a member of the Huo family and will be executed on the spot!"

Huo Xiuxiu, a member of a collateral branch of the Huo family, and Huo Youxue all turned pale and were lost in confusion.

Qi Jia.

Qi Anmei cursed and said, "This Chen Yan is indeed Chen Pi's son; when he goes crazy, he's even crazier than his father! Someone, quick! Immediately arrange for our people to check if there's anything wrong with our own people."

Li family.

For the first time, Li Qunao's usual timid and fearful expression turned somber.

The collateral branches of the Li family all looked at Li Qutiao and asked, "Patriarch, what should we do?"

"What should we do?"

Li Qunao slowly raised his head and looked at the spot outside the door. After a long while, he said, "What else can we do? Chen Yan is going crazy. Which of the Nine Gates isn't going crazy with him now? If you dare to run away, you'll be doomed."

"Pass down the order: all members of the Li family must immediately return to their ancestral home, and their identities must be checked."

"Also, close the gate. Starting today, no one from the Li family is allowed to leave the house except to purchase necessities!"

Li Qunao's gaze swept over all the collateral branches of the Li family: "If you don't want to die on some road outside, you'd better behave yourselves!"

"Yes."

Jie family.

Because Xie Yuchen hadn't returned yet, all the collateral branches went to find Xie Da. Xie Da looked at the collateral branches and said, "Everyone, please calm down!"

"How the hell can we stay calm?"

"I was wondering why all of Ninth Master's children died so mysteriously. I thought it was some kind of collateral branch that did it, but it turns out they were all wiped out and sent away!"

"Are you suggesting we just be left to be hunted down and killed by the Wang family?"

"Where's Xie Yuchen! Let Xie Yuchen come out!"

"Yes, bring Xie Yuchen out! He has to give us an explanation!"

Jie Da's face darkened, and he said, "Enough!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment. Jie Da said, "You know that this whole thing was caused by Chen Yan. He's been acting strangely ever since he came back. Nobody knows if what he's saying is true or false."

"And even if it's true!"

Jie Da looked at the collateral branch and said, "No matter what, even if the patriarch has no connection with Chen Yan, Chen Pi is still alive!"

"No matter what, Chen Pi is the head of the family's senior brother."

"Instead of thinking about how to guard against the Wang family and find the Wang family members hidden by the Xie family, you're here forcing the family head to give you an explanation. You really want to die!"

The members of the collateral branches were so angry they wanted to curse Jie Da, a mere steward, for daring to speak to them like that.

But what Xie Da said was perfectly reasonable.

The most important thing now is not internal strife, but preventing the Wang family from resorting to desperate measures!

Jie Da's phone rang, and he answered, saying, "Patriarch."

"Turn on the speakerphone."

"Yes, Master."

Xie Da turned on the speakerphone, and Xie Yuchen's voice came through: "Listen, I don't care what you're thinking right now."

"Master Jie, get everyone in line to immediately conduct a thorough investigation of the entire Jie family!"

"Kill all the problematic ones!"

"Third Uncle, have your men immediately recall the people from the Xie family's operations. Anyone who doesn't return will be treated like a member of the Wang family."

"Sixth Uncle, your men, immediately begin organizing protection. First, protect the women of the Xie family."

"I'm on my way to the Chen family. If there are any problems, we can discuss them when I return. I hope all of you uncles and elders haven't forgotten how many people I, Xie Yuchen, killed when I was in charge of the family!"

"The situation is dire. If anyone causes trouble, I'll kill even more people!"

After saying that, Xie Yuchen hung up the phone. Xie Da looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, I don't have time to chat with you anymore. Please go ahead."

After Xie Da left, the members of the collateral branch looked at each other, and finally gritted their teeth and left to busy themselves with Xie Yuchen's arrangements.

After all, for them, the previous disputes were only internal matters of the Xie family, but now the Wang family is hiding inside, and countless people outside are trying to reach into the Xie family.

They can't afford to cause trouble now.

Making a scene at this time will only result in heavy casualties for the Xie family, or even their complete annihilation.

Nobody's a fool.

The Chen family.
