LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 523: Luo Zhenjia
Tong Ya let out a faint breath; it seemed that these people were not after money but Chen Yu.
Without saying much more, she carried Tuan Tuan out of the car and headed straight to a warehouse.
The place appeared very deserted, and in the vast warehouse, there were only a few masked individuals standing.
They were extremely polite to Tong Ya, having prepared a sofa especially for her.
"Miss Tong, inviting you here is a necessary resort, not an intentional kidnapping," one of them said. "After all, we and Mr. Chen belong to the same Daoist circles. We simply want to clarify some matters with him; there are no other intentions."
Disdain filled Tong Ya's eyes. "You have the nerve to call yourselves members of the Daoist sects? Since when do Daoists become kidnappers in the secular world?"
The masked people stood there, dumbfounded; they hadn't wanted to do such deeds initially, but the Sect Leader had commanded, and they had to obey.
Just then, a middle-aged man walked slowly into the room. Although his clothes were odd, they were indeed those of the Daoist tradition.
"I've long heard of Miss Tong's decisive manner, and seeing it today, it's indeed formidable!" he remarked.
Tong Ya instinctively shielded Tuan Tuan behind her.
"It looks like you're the mastermind behind this! At this point, don't you have the courage to reveal your true identity to me?" she challenged.
The middle-aged man chuckled lightly and took out a token from his garments.
"My name is Luo Zhenjia, the Sect Leader of the Luo Tian Sect! Within the Daoist community, we are on equal footing with the Xuanqing Sect."
Tong Ya looked at Luo Zhenjia coldly. "You think you're on par with my husband? You're hardly qualified for that! Speak, what do you want with my husband?"
Seeing that Tong Ya wasn't going to be easily swayed, Luo Zhenjia no longer said much and directly picked up the phone to make a call.
After dealing with the matters on Kirin Island, Chen Yu arrived in the imperial capital.
He had planned to take Tong Ya and Tuan Tuan with him to visit the Sacred Mountain for a grand gathering.
In his view, the Daoist congress was no different from a temple fair, and it was the perfect opportunity to show his wife and child a bit of the world.
But as soon as he got out of the airport, his phone began to ring.
"Mr. Chen, both your wife and daughter are in my hands. There are some matters that we need to talk about face-to-face. Could you come to Dock Twelve?"
Chen Yu's pupils dilated dramatically. "Who are you?"
No more sounds came from the other end of the phone!
Chen Yu tried to keep himself calm, hailed a taxi on the roadside, and rushed straight towards Dock Twelve.
As he was nearing his destination, he let his system spread out over the area.
Unexpectedly, this time the range of the system's coverage extended over half of the imperial capital.
Within this scope, everything was completely revealed to his mind.
If he wished, he could see everything he desired.
In the past, such a scenario would have startled him out of his wits.
Back then, although his physical fitness had reached the limits of humanity, his brain's capacity was no different from the average person's and couldn't handle so much information.
Now, his brain capacity and intelligence had both surpassed human limits by twice as much. Not to mention the current data provided by the system, even if it were expanded further, he could still handle it.
Before long, he had pinpointed the abandoned warehouse at Dock Twelve.
The place was quite remote and indeed hard for people to find.
After having the taxi driver stop not too far away, he took a side path and circled around to approach.
In the warehouse, Luo Zhenjia sat quietly on a sofa, waiting.

Tong Ya and Tuan Tuan both maintained an air of dignified calm, staring intently at Luo Zhenjia.
When Chen Yu saw his wife and child were unharmed, he instantly breathed a sigh of relief and flashed into the warehouse.
Luo Zhenjia was startled.
Although the members of the Taoist sects all practiced physical techniques and were much stronger than the average person, he had never seen such speed before.
"Sect Leader Chen, you've finally arrived!"
No sooner had he spoken than Chen Yu's fist was upon him.
Taken completely by surprise, Luo Zhenjia was sent flying.
The man in the mask beside him was so scared that he froze in place.
Luo Zhenjia was known as the Heavenly Master, and also the Sect Leader of the Luo Tian Sect, yet he was so easily knocked to the ground.
Chen Yu lifted his head and looked coldly at the gang.
"You just wanted to test my strength, right? You even dared to kidnap my wife and child, I think you are truly tired of living!"
Chen Yu said coldly, then picked up Tuan Tuan, and also grabbed Tong Ya's hand.
Just as he was about to leave, Luo Zhenjia staggered to his feet.
"Wait! I have some questions that need to be cleared up. You, as the Sect Leader of Xuanqing Sect, why are you meddling in worldly affairs? Why are you building an external branch under Tianhu Mountain? You've set this precedent, what are we other Taoist sects supposed to do?"
Chen Yu found him laughable.
During his eradication of the Knights of the Round Table, he had discovered that many in the Taoist sects were connected with the knights' families, even entrusting them with their assets for management.
Especially the Luo Zhenjia before him.
This guy had somehow acquired eighty billion yuan, placed in the financial institutions of the Childe Family, from which he could make billions in net profit every year.
The real reason he kidnapped Tong Ya and Tuan Tuan was not the justice he spoke of, but rather to demand an explanation from Chen Yu and perhaps, if possible, net a few billion for himself.
"Heavenly Master Luo, if all of your deeds were to be revealed, I'm afraid even the Taoist community wouldn't tolerate you. I'll overlook what happened today, but if there's a next time, believe it or not, I'll raze your Luo Tian Sect to the ground."
Luo Zhenjia glared with wide eyes; he had a guilty conscience and naturally dared not confront Chen Yu directly.
But just then, a burly young man suddenly leapt forward.
"Chen, don't think that just because you're the Sect Leader of the Xuanqing Sect, you can disrespect my master. His position is equivalent to yours!"
Chen Yu slowly turned his head, surprised to find that this young man had physical capabilities that were the pinnacle of human achievement.
Moreover, his brain was emitting a faint magnetic field, allowing him some degree of control over the actions of others.
Luo Zhenjia suddenly toughened up.
"Shan Tong! You saw Mr. Chen's speed just now. Opportunities to learn from such experts are rare. Why don't you ask Mr. Chen to teach you a few moves?"
Shan Tong held a very high position in the Luo Tian Sect, second only to Luo Zhenjia, and was Luo Zhenjia's biggest support.
The rage in Chen Yu's eyes reached its limit; he didn't expect Luo Zhenjia to still dare oppose him.
Shan Tong dashed forward a couple of steps and then swung his fist down ferociously.
There was not the slightest fear on Chen Yu's face. With one hand holding Tuan Tuan and the other raised effortlessly, he caught the incoming fist steadily.
