Cui Xuanyu was speechless for a while. She didn't expect that it was Meng Chen who came. She was happy, but she quickly looked at her clothes and was quite nervous.

The twelve elders who were shouting for war and killing also stopped and looked at Cui Xuanyu in surprise.

The smile on Cui Yingzhou's face, who was so smug just now, froze. Looking at Cui Xuanyu's expression, that guy might really be her fiancé!

Cui Xuanyu tidied himself up and walked hurriedly towards the door. When he was almost out, he took a deep breath, patted his chest, and steadied his breathing. Then he took light steps and came to the door.

The moment she saw Meng Chen, her eyes lit up and a smile appeared on her face, like a snow lotus blooming in winter, bright and charming.

But this smile only lasted for a short while. Her eyes drooped slightly, and emotions of grievance, loss, and confusion appeared on her delicate and soft little face. She trotted into Meng Chen's arms.

Meng Chen hugged her, his eyes swept over the group of people behind her, and this time he asked distressedly: "What's wrong? What wronged you?"

Cui Xuanyu's tears couldn't stop flowing, and the warm liquid had soaked Meng Chen's chest.

She seemed to have found support, and cried, "Meng Chen, my father... he has lost contact in the imperial capital. You know where he went. Now the four major families have lost contact with their patriarchs, and the people sent to the imperial capital have never returned. I really don't know what to do."

Meng Chen was shocked. Huang Wujin had indeed taken action, and he had most likely succeeded. He didn't know if all the people from the four great families were still alive...

Meng Chen felt a little depressed. He didn't want to see Cui Xuanyu sad, and didn't want her to lose her father.

"It's okay. Huang Wujin and Yun Niang won't kill us all. At least... at least your father will definitely be alive."

Cui Xuanyu became more and more worried, and said in panic: "What should I do? Meng Chen, what should I do..."

She was probably under too much pressure during this period, and when she got a chance to talk, she couldn't help but talk.

Meng Chen patted her back gently, and his eyes fell on the group of old men from the Cui family. The struggle within the family was also very fierce.

At this moment, the old men stared at Meng Chen with a scrutinizing look.

Meng Chen met their gaze without any retreat. As his eyes moved, he saw Cui Yingzhou hiding behind them.

He pondered for a moment, but did not choose to pursue the matter. He whispered, "Xuan Yu, stop crying. If you have anything to say, let's find a suitable place to talk about it slowly."

After Cui Xuanyu vented her anger, her emotions gradually calmed down. She took Meng Chen back to the Cui family's meeting hall and had someone add a chair next to her. Then she talked about Cui Dongsheng's loss of contact.

Before Cui Dongsheng went to Kyoto, they built a communication array that could keep in touch with the Cui family, billions of miles away, at any time. However, after the day Cui Dongsheng mentioned the competition, they lost contact with Cui Dongsheng.

The Li family, Zheng family, and Wang family are in a similar situation. They have all lost contact, and now the imperial city is under blockade, allowing only entry but not exit. They have sent several waves of people but have not been able to get out any news.

Meng Chen fell into deep thought. He didn't know much about the family, but he did have some feeling about how terrifying Huang Wujin was.

At the moment, he actually doesn't have any good solution.

"What are you going to do?" Meng Chen asked.

Cui Xuanyu told the plan without hesitation. The four great families were really frightened this time, so they formed an alliance. As long as the news of the murder of the family head was confirmed, they would announce their separation from the Red Phoenix Immortal Dynasty and call on the subordinate cities to rebel completely.

Meng Chen didn't expect them to be so bold. He said in a deep voice, "Are you sure you can deal with the empress? With her talent, she might have entered the Mahayana realm by now."

Meng Chen planned to exaggerate to make them wary and fearful. Otherwise, with the audacity of these families, they might attack at any time. And what he said was not impossible. Huang Wujin had already completed his soul and spirit, and it was estimated that the fusion would be completed soon. By then, he might really be able to enter the Mahayana realm!
Cui Xuanyu didn't say anything. A white-haired old man slammed the table and shouted angrily: "Impossible! Don't boost others' ambitions and destroy your own prestige! The little emperor is indeed extremely talented, but if he wants to enter the Mahayana stage, haha!"

His words were full of contempt and disdain, and he was obviously certain of this matter.

Seeing this, Meng Chen sneered and said, "You are so sure that the little emperor's insane state was not caused by you, right?"

The smile on the old man's face froze instantly: "No, no! You don't need to know these, you just need to tell us about Kyoto now."

Meng Chen shook his head: "I left before the competition, so I don't know what happened."

"Useless! What else can you do? You even dare to lay your hands on my eldest daughter of the Cui family. Are you worthy?"

Meng Chen was scolded and his face darkened: "My father-in-law said it's my turn to marry, so I'm the one to marry. Who do you think you are? How dare you point fingers at the son-in-law appointed by your master!"

The old man sneered disdainfully: "Haha, you approve just because you say so?"

Meng Chen took out a token and threw it into the old man's hand. It was given by Cui Dongsheng, who said it could prove his identity.

The moment the old man saw the token, his eyes widened and his face was full of disbelief.

"This... no matter what, an outsider has no right to interfere in the Cui family's affairs!"

Other elders also started discussing. During the debate, only words like "outsider", "no authority" and "confidential" could be heard clearly, as if they were saying it on purpose, deliberately trying to make Meng Chen recognize his position.

Cui Xuanyu had a worried look on his face, but when he heard that Meng Chen had been recognized by his father, a hint of joy flashed across his face.

However, I was still very depressed because my father's whereabouts were unknown.

Meng Chen pondered for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "Forget it, I will go to Kyoto again and bring my father-in-law back."

The Cui family will not reveal their entire background, and Meng Chen does not want to be associated with them, so he can only go and save Cui Dongsheng by himself!

Cui Xuanyu hesitated for a moment, then said firmly: "I want to go too, to the imperial capital!"

She knew Yun Ying, and Yun Ying was the empress's personal bodyguard. If Cui Xuanyu went there, there would be no doubt that his life would be safe.

"In that case, let's go to Kyoto together! But before that, you must not act rashly!" Meng Chen said seriously.

Cui Xuanyu also joined in and began to arrange things to do after she left. Although the head elder did not get along well with her, she had no choice but to hand the Cui family over to him for now. However, she also asked the third and fourth elders of the clan who were close to her to assist her, as a check and balance on the head elder.

After doing all this, Cui Xuanyu immediately packed up his things and took Meng Chen to the teleportation platform between the Cui family and Kyoto.

Now that Kyoto is blocked, the teleportation station can only teleport them to a place thousands of miles away from Kyoto, which is enough.
