Chapter 533
After the experts of the Zhao Family and the Sun Family took action, the other two families of the Fire Spirit City, the Wang Family and the Li Family, as well as the Bai Family, received the news that Zhao Yunfei was captured by an outsider. The entire Fire Spirit City was shocked.
Three days ago, the Qilin Kingdom’s princess was captured. Three days later, the Zhao Family’s eldest young master was captured. What was going on?
Were they bullying the Fire Spirit City?
Were these two incidents done by the same group of people?
Countless experts in the Fire Spirit City were puzzled.
Seeing was believing!
The Wang Family and Li Family were very powerful and well-informed. From the reports of their family scouts, they guessed that the outsider who captured Zhao Yunfei was Xiao Chen. Because in the entire Qilin Kingdom, only Xiao Chen’s family could possess a powerful The Lion King.
Especially the Wang Family. Half a month ago, they received a report from the person in charge of the “Spirit Beast Pavilion” that Xiao Chen had appeared in the Spirit Beast Tribe. The Wang Family originally wanted to send an elder to win over Xiao Chen, but because of the princess being captured, they put the matter of Xiao Chen aside.
Not to mention the Zhao Family and Sun Family sending experts to deal with Xiao Chen and the Lion King, the Wang Family, Li Family, and Bai Family couldn’t just sit back and watch when Xiao Chen and the Lion King were heading towards the palace. Who knew what Xiao Chen was going to do in the palace?
If Xiao Chen went to attack the palace and the Wang Family didn’t go to save him, they would be committing a capital crime.
As a result — —
Within half an hour, the Four Great Families and the Bai Family all sent more than half of their experts to the palace in the center of the city. No matter if they started a war or not, they had to put on a good show.
In addition, many small and medium-sized families in the Fire Spirit City also sent some of their experts after receiving the news. They wanted to gain the respect of the aristocratic families and the large families, especially the royal family, so that they could change their fate and become the 19th large family.
… …
When the entire Fire Spirit City was in an uproar, Xiao Chen and Da Huang were already close to the palace. Xiao Chen and Da Huang felt that the quiet Fire Spirit City had become noisy. They knew that the news of them capturing Zhao Yunfei must have been spread and countless experts were rushing towards them.
“Hurry!”
Xiao Chen shouted at Sun Dayou in front of him, urging Sun Dayou to ride faster. They had to reach the palace before the experts from all sides arrived, otherwise a war was inevitable. Xiao Chen and the Lion King were not afraid of a war, but they still had Dongfang Qingwu with them. Once a war started, Dongfang Qingwu would be in danger.
In addition to taking Zhao Yunfei as a hostage, Xiao Chen also had an important purpose in capturing Zhao Yunfei. He planned to hand Zhao Yunfei over to the palace of the Qilin Kingdom, which could be regarded as giving a great face to the palace. Because Xiao Chen understood an obscure truth, that was, the Four Great Families might not be loyal to the palace. Xiao Chen slapped the Zhao Family in the face, which was equivalent to slapping the Four Great Families in the face and indirectly making the palace proud.
Of course, it was possible that Xiao Chen’s guess was wrong. That was, the Four Great Families were loyal to the royal family. Xiao Chen slapped the Zhao Family in the face, which was equivalent to slapping the royal family in the face. This was a big matter. Maybe the King of the Qilin Kingdom would directly order to kill Xiao Chen.
Although the risk was great, Xiao Chen had no way out. When he allowed Da Huang to slaughter the experts of the Zhao Family, there was no way out. Even if he let Zhao Yunfei go, the Zhao Family would still not let it go and would deal with him even more severely.
After experiencing so many things, Xiao Chen understood the nature of the great families and aristocratic families too well. The more you showed weakness, the more they would think you were easy to bully, so they would bully you even more. Rather than passively retaliating, it was better to take the initiative and capture Zhao Yunfei. As long as the Zhao Family still had Zhao Yunfei, the Zhao Family would not dare to act blindly without thinking.
Of course, it did not mean that with Zhao Yunfei as a hostage, Xiao Chen and the others could sit back and relax. Xiao Chen still had another important reliance, which was that he could help King Ouyang Tiande find and rescue Ouyang Chuchu. This was an important reason why Xiao Chen dared to capture Zhao Yunfei and bring him to the palace.
As for the reason why Xiao Chen was so confident in finding and rescuing Ouyang Chuchu, the reason did not come from himself, nor from his good brother Da Huang, but from the Peerless Ominous Sword in the Storage Ring — Fengsha Sword.
Half an hour ago, the Fengsha Sword, which had been quietly staying in the Storage Ring, suddenly transmitted a voice to Xiao Chen, telling Xiao Chen to do what he wanted and not to be afraid of a small Fire Spirit City. It also told Xiao Chen that it could help Xiao Chen find and rescue the Princess. As for the method, the Fengsha Sword unexpectedly kept him guessing.
Xiao Chen felt helpless about this, sighing to himself. How could he subdue such a naughty Peerless Ominous Sword?
However, with the support of the insane Fengsha Sword, Xiao Chen was full of confidence. He planned to capture Zhao Yunfei and break into the palace.
The Princess had been abducted for three days. The Fire Spirit City had sent out so many experts and martial artists from several tribes to search for the Princess, but there was still no news. It meant that the Heaven Mystics Kingdom’s experts were very resourceful.
Ouyang Tiande must be in a terrible situation. If Xiao Chen could guarantee that he could find Ouyang Chuchu, then Ouyang Tiande would definitely be delighted and would definitely protect Xiao Chen from being bullied by the Zhao Clan. By then, even if Xiao Chen killed Zhao Yunfei, Ouyang Tiande might turn a blind eye to it. After all, compared to the safety of his beloved, Zhao Yunfei was nothing.
Compared to Zhao Yunfei, who was the most unlucky one, Sun Dayou was considered a small unlucky one. However, no matter how big or small, he was still an unlucky one. Right now, Sun Dayou had a bitter expression. He drew out his hand and pointed at a giant cluster of palaces and spoke respectfully, “Young Master Xiao, that palace in front is the royal palace. Can I go now?”
“You can’t.”
Xiao Chen spoke these three words indifferently, which immediately cut off Sun Dayou’s thoughts of leaving. He looked at the giant cluster of palaces that was dozens of meters away and lamented. The royal clan was indeed wealthy and dignified. It probably cost billions of purple gold to build such a giant royal palace, right?
“Ah?”
When Sun Dayou heard that Xiao Chen didn’t allow him to leave, his expression turned even uglier. He spoke with a voice that was on the verge of crying, “Why won’t you let me go?
I have already brought you to the vicinity of the royal palace. Young Master Xiao might be much stronger than me, but you have to be reasonable, right? ”
Sun Dayou already knew Xiao Chen’s surname from the conversation between Xiao Chen and Dongfang Qingwu, but he didn’t know Xiao Chen’s specific identity. He originally thought that Xiao Chen was only asking him to lead the way, but he didn’t expect that Xiao Chen didn’t intend to let him go. He was extremely terrified and had the urge to abandon Zhao Yunfei and flee on his horse. However, he didn’t dare to do so. With the Lion King’s speed, he could easily catch up to the warhorse.
“Cut the crap!”
Xiao Chen shouted impatiently. He stared coldly at Sun Dayou until Sun Dayou revealed a fearful expression. Xiao Chen then continued to speak indifferently, “Don’t worry. As long as you bring us into the royal palace and meet the king, I will let you go. I, Xiao Chen, am a man of my words. I hope you will cooperate. Otherwise … you know the consequences.”
“Alright.” Sun Dayou had no other choice. If he wanted to live, he could only listen to Xiao Chen’s orders.
