After saying that, Chen Long immediately beheaded the two eunuchs.
After that, Mrs. Chen immediately approached Chen Long, staring intently at her son from head to toe, and asked, "When did you start talking, and how did you become so strong?"
Just as Chen Long had lied to Officer Cian, he also lied to his mother, claiming that he could speak and had gained his strength by eating a divine pill.
Of course, he couldn't reveal the truth to his mother because it would be hard for anyone to accept, and it would also be difficult for him to explain, so he chose to lie.
Mrs. Chen shook her head immediately, "Officer Cian just came here. He said your father is being framed and asked me to return to the village. I didn't want to at first, but seeing what you're doing now, you're also in danger. So let's go back to the village, my child."
In truth, Mrs. Chen was deeply worried about her husband. Previously, she had resolved to stay in the Royal City to fight for her husband's fate, or if necessary, she would ask to be punished alongside him. But upon seeing what Chen Long had done, she decided to return to the village so that Chen Long could leave the Royal City immediately, all for Chen Long's safety.
But Chen Long shook his head, "There's no need to return to the village. Mother, stay here. I will go to fetch my sister now. After that, we will think about father."
Chen Long knew that his sister's safety was more important at this moment and very urgent, because the Fifth Prince might force his will upon his sister.
As for his father, he was certain that even though his father was in danger, the Emperor would follow legal procedures, which would take considerable time—perhaps several days before the sentence for his father was handed down—while his brother did not have such time.
Chen Long looked at all the servants and guards of his family present in the hall and asked them not to discuss the deaths of the eunuchs in this hall. He also asked them to bury the eunuchs and their guards in the backyard.
After that, Chen Long immediately sought his mother's blessing, "Mother, I will go to fetch my brother. Mother, please stay calm."
Mrs. Chen shook her head. "You must not do that. The Fifth Prince has guards at the sixth stage of the Body Purification Realm. You have only just begun your cultivation. You will not be able to fight them."
Chen Long merely smiled. "Calm down, Mother. I will be fine, and I will definitely bring my older brother home."
After that, ignoring his mother's screams, he quickly stepped out of his house and headed straight for the Fifth Prince's residence.
In his years of silence, Chen Long had also heard about the Fifth Prince's exploits, which had caused much trouble for the poor, especially those with daughters.
"Now is the time for me to eliminate that cruel bastard!" Chen Long resolved as he leaped into the Fifth Prince's courtyard.
Up until now, he only knew the location of the Fifth Prince's residence but had never entered it.
When he entered the house, he was stunned by a pond located to the left of the Fifth Prince's residence.
"This is a pond with spiritual roots that can help many people achieve breakthroughs into the Body Strengthening Realm, but I rarely see cultivators of the Body Strengthening Realm in this kingdom. That means this pond isn't used by the people here, because they don't know its purpose."
Chen Long immediately entered the pool and bathed his body in the water of this spiritually-infused pool.
By combining it with earth core cultivation, Chen Long's cultivation range at level 1 of the Body Purification Realm became wider, so that now he was confident that he would be able to face a level 6 Body Purification Realm cultivator.
Some of the guards who had been watching Chen Long's behaviour began to laugh. Some of them recognised Chen Long, so they let him enter the courtyard and the pool as he pleased.
"He is the son of the Minister of Justice. He is known to be foolish and cannot speak. Therefore, let him bathe in this pond if he wishes," said the head guard to his subordinates, continuing to smile as he watched Chen Long like a amusing spectacle.
After feeling satisfied, Chen Long exited the pond and immediately walked into the palace of the Fifth Prince.
Chen Long's behaviour caused the head guard, who had been watching him all along, to shout, "Hey, you fool, you're not allowed to go in there! You're only allowed to roam around outside, but you're not allowed to go in there!"
Chen Long ignored his words and continued to walk inside
He had been hearing the terrified screams of a woman since earlier, and he was certain that the woman's voice belonged to his sister
Therefore, there was no time to waste, and he quickly walked inside
The guard outside immediately shouted to his colleagues stationed inside the room to block Chen Long
But everyone who tried to block Chen Long was immediately thrown against the wall, some severely injured, others breathing their last breath
Chen Long didn't want to be too kind to these people because he knew they were also involved in kidnapping girls to be offered to their master, the Fifth Prince
Therefore, every time someone tried to approach him, he immediately used his strength to strike back at the guards from a distance, causing some to have their heads shattered, others to be thrown while spewing blood, and still others to be paralysed by the power released by Chen Long.
Thus, without significant obstruction, Chen Long successfully broke down a door where he heard his sister's cries.
And sure enough, when he broke through the door, he saw his brother lying on the bed with his hands bound and his legs kicking wildly, while a man was trying to pry his legs apart as wide as possible.
"Chen Long!" Chen Yiling, Chen Long's sister, was shocked when she saw Chen Long. This was a scene she had never imagined. She never thought her foolish, speechless younger brother would now be breaking into the Fifth Prince's room.
The Fifth Prince was furious that his enjoyment had been disrupted. He turned his face back to look at Chen Long and shouted, "Guards! Arrest this man! Why did you let him into my room!"
Chen Long chuckled softly and said, "I came to finish you off!"
