Chapter 339 Kong Ming

Chapter 339 Kong Ming

In a room, Liu Zhen and Liu Ying looked very tired, especially since they had been cooped up in that room since morning, and the people in front of them also kept questioning them, especially about Chen Li and cultivators.

After all, they knew more or less cultivators could live longer and stay young, which greatly piqued their interest in becoming ones, so they decided to arrest them.

Unfortunately, Liu Zhen and Liu Ying chose to keep their mouths shut, especially since the Tianyi Realm was Chen Li's secret, so they had no intention of revealing it to them, and their attitude greatly annoyed those people.

Liu Ling'er, who sat in the corner of the room, could only sigh in her heart. She felt helpless to set his uncle and cousin free, especially since they had taken her smartphone. 'Chen Li! I hope you come back soon and free them, or these people will do something bad to them.'

Even so, not everyone involved in the government was interested in it, such as Zhuang Liang, Wang Yu, Guan Yu, and Chou Yi. They were truly frightened of Chen Li's madness, and they didn't want to endanger their families.

Sha Ling suddenly asked the old man. "Sir, since these two keep their mouths shut, it would be better if we used Kong Ming's ability to control their minds; only then will they reveal the secret to becoming cultivators to us."

"We also agree with her, sir." Cao Zheng, Song Zijun, and Mu Ye also said as they nodded to the old man.

*Tap... Tap...*

The old man fell into deep thought as his fingers kept tapping on the table, and his eyes kept looking at Liu Zhen and Liu Ying. As for Liu Ling'er, he didn't pay any attention to her at all, especially since she didn't know anything about cultivators and the like.

Seeing the old man like that, Tai Chen became increasingly impatient, and she tried to persuade him. "Sir, Chen Li isn't here now, so it would be better if we act quickly, or else we won't have another chance if he comes back later."

Unfortunately, none of them realized that Chen Li was already there and eavesdropping on their conversation from inside the void, and he wanted to know which people had bad intentions towards Liu Zhen and Liu Ying.

"What do you guys think about this?" The old man asked his three personal guards.

"I don't have an opinion on that, sir."

"Me too." The other two guards also answered him by shaking their heads.

The old man sighed softly and made his own decision. "Tianxie, go to that place and bring Kong Ming here now."

"Yes, sir." Mao Tianxie immediately disappeared from their sight, and everyone smiled happily at the old man's decision.

However, one of his guards suddenly spoke to the old man. "Sir, Huang Tian and the others have already mobilized their subordinates, and they will attack Chen Li's mansion soon."

"They are truly foolish." The old man said it with a soft sigh. "They didn't even bother to investigate Chen Li's whereabouts, and their efforts would only be in vain."

"Aren't you going to stop them, sir?" The other guards asked him.

The old man shook his head. "Those people are really stubborn, and they won't listen to my words, so just let them do what they want to do."

"Then what if Chen Li slaughters them?" The third guard asked with a confused look.

"If they really have to die, then just let them die, and we will arrange everything again from the beginning." The old man lightly answered the guard's question.

Although Chao Zheng and the others were shocked after hearing the old man's answer, they did not say anything to refute him, for they were also fed up with the arrogance of Huang Tian and the others, and they always thought of themselves more superior than the government.

Moments later, Mao Tianxie had returned with a pale-looking old man, and he was none other than Kong Ming, one of the people on their country's list of dangerous people.

"Hey, I didn't expect you to bring me here, Dugu Bao." Kong Ming indifferently said this to the old man.

"You-"

"Stop it." Dugu Bao stopped his personal guards, for he knew that they would not be able to defeat Kong Ming, and he then pointed at Liu Zhen and Liu Ying. "If you are willing to help me get some important information from them, then I will give you a little freedom, and I will release you completely after I prove the truth of that information."

"Hmm?" Kong Min turned to the two in surprise. "What are you keeping from them, Old Liu? Are those things very important?"

"Haha." Liu Zhen laughed casually at his question. "Old Kong, I know you want to be free from their grasp. However, as an old friend, I must advise you not to interfere in this matter, or else you will not get your freedom but death."

"Uncle Kong, you should listen to my father's words, especially since you don't know the horror of the person behind us." Liu Ying joined in persuading Kong Ming, especially since she had known him since she was little. "They- Argh!"

*Slap*

Before she finished her words, Tai Chen suddenly slapped Liu Ying's cheeks really hard, which caused her white cheeks to turn very red.

"Tai Chen!" Dugu Bao shouted as he glared viciously at the old woman. "Who allowed you to do that?"

"Sir, I-" Tai Chen immediately swallowed her words when she felt Dugu Bao's killing intent directed at her, and cold sweat began to drip from her forehead.

However, Dugu Bao immediately withdrew his killing intent and warned Tai Chen sternly. "If you dare do anything to her again without my permission, I will send you to that special prison, and you can spend the rest of your life there."

"Yes... yes... I won't do anything else, sir." Tai Chen answered with a trembling voice.

Dugu Bao then turned to Kong Ming and told him. "The person behind them is Chen Li, and he has slaughtered hundreds of people in just one night."

"Oh?" Kong Ming turned to him in surprise. "Since when did the Chen family have someone so terrifying? Even the late Chen Zhen, who was so powerful, had never done such a thing before."

"Chen Li is Chen Zhen's son, and he is much more terrifying than his father." Kong Ming was even more surprised after he heard that, and Dugu Bao then spoke to him again. "You only have two choices: help us get that information from them, or rot in the special prison."

"Kong Ming, they-"

However, Mao Tianxie immediately moved and sealed the space around Liu Zhen, so none of them could hear his words.

Liu Ying didn't say anything, but she looked at Kong Ming while shaking her head, for she didn't want him to die in Chen Li's hands if he preferred to help those people.

Kong Ming himself was not stupid, and those people's treatment of Liu Zhen and Liu Ying made him realize their fear of Chen Li, so he immediately rejected Dugu Bao's request. "I won't help you guys do anything to them, and you can send me to that special prison if you want."

Liu Ying let out a sigh of relief after she heard that, and she nodded in satisfaction to Kong Ming. "Uncle Kong, you have made the right decision, and you will not regret your decision today."

"You seem to trust Chen Li a lot, huh?" Kong Ming said to Liu Ying.

"I do." Liu Ying nodded at him smilingly. "After all, I've known Chen Li for many years, so I know his character well. Besides, he's my future husband, so I naturally have to trust him, right?"

Even though Liu Ying had confessed her feelings for Chen Li before, Liu Ling'er still sighed in her heart, especially since she was more willing to accept his relationships than her.

Kong Ming was truly surprised to hear that, and he smiled before speaking to her. "I hope I'm still alive to attend your wedding with him, Little Ying."

"Don't worry, you can definitely attend my wedding with Chen Li, Uncle Kong." Liu Ying replied as she nodded.

Dugu Bao's face darkened listening to their conversation, and he immediately ordered Mao Tianxie. "You can take him to that special prison now and tell them to place him in a special cell."

"Yes, sir."

However, when Mao Tianxie activated his space superpower, a power stronger than his own overwrote it, shocking him greatly.

"What happened? Why didn't you take him away immediately?" Dugu Bao asked Mao Tianxie with a frown.

"Sir, this-"

"Do you think I will continue to remain silent, Dugu Bao?"

Dugu Bao and the others immediately stood up from their seats as soon as Chen Li appeared behind Liu Zhen and Liu Ying, especially since they had never noticed his presence before, and he also used an ability similar to Mao Tianxie.

Liu Ying and Liu Ling'er breathed a sigh of relief with his appearance, and Chen Li directly freed Liu Zhen from Mao Tianxi's abilities. "Uncle Liu! Sister Ying! Ling'er! I'm sorry for coming late, but you'll all be fine now." n-(o/-v-(e).L)-b--1/.n

On the other hand, Kong Ming looked at Chen Li in astonishment and muttered in his heart. 'So he is the late Chen Zhen's son, huh? However, his face doesn't resemble his father at all.'
