Li Chen and Ji Ling'er returned via their original route, with all obstacles along the way already cleared by him.
Thus, their journey was exceptionally smooth.
In just three days, they arrived at Tianyang City.
The Ji Family was the largest family in Tianyang City, aside from the City Lord Manor.
Unfortunately, the former prosperity was long gone, replaced by a scene of unbearable ruin.
Moreover, to cover up the crime of exterminating the family, the city lord Pu Yinglong had the previous Ji Family residence set ablaze, reducing it completely to scorched earth.
Seeing the former home now in ruins, Ji Ling'er felt as if her heart was being cut with a knife, and she fell to the ground, letting tears run down her cheeks as she called out the names of her loved ones.
"Grandfather, father, mother... Ling'er has come to see you!"
Li Chen did not step forward to offer comfort; he simply stood by and watched quietly.
