Chapter 226
“En, it seems like this is the only way. I hope that Xiao Chen won’t demand an exorbitant price. If he really wants one million taels of purple gold, our Qian Clan will lose half of our wealth, which we can’t afford!”
Qian Baiwan didn’t look good. Such a troublesome matter had appeared out of nowhere. Anyone would be in a bad mood. When he thought that his second son, Qian Baiwan, had provoked Xiao Chen, the bane and killer, which caused Qian Clan to face such a huge crisis, he suddenly burst into rage. “It’s all because of that unfilial son, Baiwan, that he provoked Xiao Chen!
If Qian Clan can’t overcome this crisis, I will tear him apart personally! ”
When the three elders and young masters of Qian Clan heard Qian Baiwan’s roar, they lowered their heads and didn’t dare to look at Qian Baiwan’s eyes. They didn’t even dare to breathe heavily. They knew Qian Baiwan’s temperament the best, and he was extremely ruthless. Even Qian Dashou didn’t dare to be disrespectful to Qian Baiwan. Because Qian Baiwan was an iron-armored God-bestowed expert, and he was also a first-stage Purple Image Realm expert. In addition, Qian Baiwan was the Clan Head, so Qian Dashou naturally didn’t dare to contradict Qian Baiwan.
After scolding for a while, Qian Baiwan felt a little better. He looked at his eldest son, Qian Wanwan, and the three elders’ sons and said sternly, “Wanwan, the few of you should restrain yourselves. If you cause trouble outside like Baiwan, don’t come back!”
“Father, I understand!”
“Yes, Clan Head!”
Qian Wanwan and the other Qian Clan young masters shrunk their necks and responded with reverence. They didn’t dare to have any objection, otherwise, they would be scolded and punished by the furious Qian Baiwan.
Qian Wanwan was much better looking than Baiwan. He didn’t feel like Qian Baiwan’s biological son, but he did have the same mother as Qian Baiwan. He had an elegant demeanor comparable to Sha Buhui, and he was a few years older than Sha Buhui. He was about 30 years old, and his cultivation had reached the second stage of Blood Bear Realm. His strength wasn’t bad. He looked modest, but he was jealous of Xiao Chen in his heart. He was jealous that Xiao Chen could be famous in the entire Death God Tribe at such a young age.
“En. Everyone, follow this Clan Head to the entrance to welcome Xiao Chen. Without this Clan Head’s order, no one is allowed to quarrel or conflict with Xiao Chen!
Anyone who disobeys … shall be beheaded! “Qian Qianyi ordered in an awe-inspiring manner. He waved his hand and took the lead to stride towards the entrance of the Qian Clan’s courtyard.
The Elders and Young Masters of the Qian Family didn’t think there was anything wrong with Qian Qianyi’s action. Although it was a bit shameful, it was the best expression. Only by lowering their stance in front of Xiao Chen could they minimize their losses. Many people in the God-Slaying Tribe knew that Xiao Chen was amenable to persuasion but not coercion. If anyone dared to put on airs in front of Xiao Chen, they would die miserably.
A moment later, the Qian Clan Head, three Elders, and four Young Masters of the Qian Clan were standing in front of the Qian Clan’s entrance. They were the highest ranking members of the Qian Clan. Behind them were fifty Blood Bear Realm martial experts. As for the rest of the experts, they were all hidden in the Qian Clan’s courtyard.
Qian Qianyi didn’t order all the Qian Clan’s martial experts to stand in front of the Qian Clan’s entrance. He was afraid that it would cause a misunderstanding to Xiao Chen. Otherwise, when Xiao Chen arrived and saw hundreds or thousands of people blocking the entrance, he would think that the Qian Clan was preparing for a war. According to Xiao Chen’s character, he would definitely start the fight. By that time, Qian Qianyi wouldn’t be able to cry even if he wanted to.
“Report!”
Suddenly, an agile low-level martial artist dashed over from the end of the road. When he was three meters away from Qian Qianyi, he stopped and immediately knelt down on one knee. He reported respectfully with slight panic, “Reporting to Lord Clan Head. Xiao Chen has led three hundred poor martial artists and appeared five hundred meters away from here. With their running speed, they will arrive here soon!”
“En, scout again!”
After Qian Qianyi heard the report of the Qian Clan’s scout, his face didn’t change at all. He ordered the scout indifferently. The current Qian Qianyi had completely restored his calm. He was like a completely different person from when he was in the room. It was obvious that he was a very shrewd person. To be able to become a Clan Head of a large clan, he really wasn’t a simple person.
“Yes!
Lord Clan Head! ”
The scout responded respectfully and immediately got up to leave. A moment later, he hid in a small alley at the side.
“Da da da!”
Sure enough, after a while, the sound of messy footsteps came from the end of the road in front of the Qian Clan. A large group of martial artists appeared in front of the Qian Clan.
“Are they here?
He must be the famous Xiao Chen, right?
“
The fat on Qian Qianyi’s face trembled. His eyes narrowed as he looked at a distant cold-looking young man wearing a black warrior suit and carrying a huge sword on his back. Although this was the first time he had seen Xiao Chen, he was still able to determine that the black clothed man in front of the crowd was Xiao Chen.
Black warrior suit, huge wooden sword, cold-looking young man. These three types of attire and personality combined together were basically Xiao Chen. Unless someone deliberately pretended to be Xiao Chen, then it would be a different story.
That person was indeed Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen led the three hundred poor martial artists at a very fast pace. Later on, they slowed down a bit. But no matter how slow they were, they still approached the Qian Clan in less than half an hour.
Xiao Chen naturally saw a group of powerful martial artists standing in front of the Qian family’s door. His expression did not change at all, and he continued to lead the three hundred sellers to the other side. However, when the two sides were about ten feet apart, Xiao Chen stopped, and the three hundred martial artists behind him naturally stopped as well.
Both sides began to confront each other. No one moved, and no one spoke. They just stood there quietly. The atmosphere became oppressive and heavy, as if a war was about to break out.
At this time, countless martial artists appeared in the distant streets and alleys. The onlookers all had different expressions as they looked at the two sides. They wanted to know whether the war would start or not.
“Hahaha!”
After confronting each other for a while, a burst of hearty laughter suddenly sounded, instantly breaking the increasingly tense atmosphere. All the onlookers looked at the laughing middle-aged man, the Qian Clan’s Patriarch, Qian Qianyi. Their eyes had a puzzled look. How could he still laugh when the enemy was at his doorstep?
When Qian Qianyi saw that everyone’s eyes were attracted to him, the smile on his face became even more brilliant. He even smiled from ear to ear. He looked at the indifferent Xiao Chen with a friendly gaze and said in a clear voice,
“Young Master Xiao Chen, I got the news a little late, so I didn’t have the time to welcome you. I hope Young Master Xiao Chen can forgive me. Haha!
My humble house has prepared some food and wine to welcome Young Master Xiao Chen. I wonder if Young Master Xiao Chen will give me face and come into my house for a chat? ”
Don’t hit a smiling person. Qian Qianyi used this trick well!
All the onlookers sighed in their hearts. They were impressed by Qian Qianyi’s shrewdness. Xiao Chen had seriously injured a Young Master and an elder of the Qian Clan, but Qian Qianyi could still smile so naturally, warmly, and brilliantly.
Xiao Chen guessed the identity of the middle-aged man who spoke. He was a little surprised by Qian Qianyi’s performance and bearing. The Qian Clan’s Patriarch actually led all the higher-ups of the Qian Clan to stand at the gate early to welcome this group of “debtors”. Moreover, his attitude was extremely good.
However, Xiao Chen pondered for a while and figured out why the Qian Clan was so friendly to him. They must be afraid of his previous identity as the Young Master of the Sha Clan and his current identity as the Grim Reaper.
If it weren’t for these two identities, the Qian Clan would have directly taken action.
In the face of the invitation of the Qian Clan’s Patriarch, Xiao Chen sneered in his heart. He was here to ask for compensation for the 300 sellers behind him. He had to do what he said. Otherwise, he would break his promise and wouldn’t be worthy of being a man.
