Chapter 65
“Plop!”
“Young Master Xiao Chen!
This subordinate was late to save you and failed to protect you. Please punish me, Young Master! ”
Military Kill Ripper was the strongest among the group, so he was the first to recover from the shock. He put away his long saber and knelt down in front of Xiao Chen, respectfully yet fearfully.
Military Kill Ripper was truly terrified. First, he was afraid that Xiao Chen would blame him. Second, he was terrified of Xiao Chen’s cruel methods.
Xiao Chen didn’t say anything. His pair of blood-red eyes scanned the surroundings coldly before slowly closing. A moment later, he opened his eyes again and regained his clarity. The blood-red color gradually faded away. He had already released the Berserk God Bestowment.
“Young Master, please leave the Sha Clan. It’s not safe outside. I’m afraid there are still assassins hiding in the dark. Can you come out after this subordinate has sent some people to clean out the assassins?”
Military Kill Ripper didn’t dare to stand up since Xiao Chen didn’t say anything. He was worried that there were still assassins hiding in the city. Therefore, he hoped that Xiao Chen would return to the Sha Clan immediately. That way, it would be absolutely safe. Currently, no one dared to go to the Sha Clan to cause trouble or kill anyone, unless they wanted to die.
Xiao Chen glanced at Military Kill Ripper indifferently. He still didn’t say a word, but he turned around and walked away. The strange thing was that he didn’t put away his wooden sword, and he didn’t walk in the direction of the Sha Clan.
Where was he going?
Without putting away his weapon, was he going to kill someone?
Everyone was stunned.
Xiao Chen’s current location belonged to the north of the Sha Clan. If he wanted to go back to the Sha Clan, he should go west because the Sha Clan occupied the center of the city. The other eight regions were occupied by the other eight clans.
The Sha Clan was the lair of the city lord, Sha Potian. It was like a king being protected by the other eight clans. If the eight clans joined hands to deal with the Sha Clan, the Sha Clan would be in a very disadvantageous position.
There had been such an incident in history. The Sha Clan was enraged and revealed most of their trump cards. They swept through everything in their path like a hot knife through butter. They were invincible and killed the eight clans, causing them to lose everything.
Later on, the Eight Great Clans surrendered. The Sha Clan felt that it was impossible to annihilate all of the Eight Great Clans. If they were all killed, it would be a bald commander. Hence, it stopped the war.
After this battle, the Sha Clan’s position as the overlord was further consolidated. Almost no clan dared to go against them. The Sha Clan had become the local tyrant in the Asura Tribe.
Xiao Chen did not head in the direction of the Sha family. Instead, he headed north, which was the direction of the northeast region. What was he doing in the northeast region?
Shouldn’t he be returning to the Sha family to seek protection when he was being assassinated?
The eastern region was the region where the Ji Clan was located.
Ji family?
Ji Family!
Oh my god!
Could it be that Xiao Chen’s target was the Ji Family?
How could this be?
Some of the citizens who knew about the feud between Xiao Chen and the young master of the Ji family, Ji Haoyue, realized a crazy and unbelievable thought. Xiao Chen was going to cause trouble for the Ji family.
Could it be that Xiao Chen suspected that Ji Haoyue or even the Ji Family hired killers to deal with Xiao Chen and wanted to kill Xiao Chen, who had humiliated them?
From the looks of it, it was very possible.
But if this matter was really done by the Ji Family, then this matter wasn’t just a small matter, it was a huge matter!
Think about it, if the Ji Family intended to murder the young master of the Sha family and it was proven, what kind of serious consequences would there be?
The consequences would be that the Ji Family was prepared to bear the wrath of the Sha family. If they were not careful, the Ji Family might be exterminated by the Sha family!
The matter of Xiao Chen being assassinated seemed to be developing into a huge matter. It might evolve into a battle between the Ji Family and the Sha Family. It might even involve the Situ family because the young master of the Situ family, Situ Nan, had a grudge with Xiao Chen. Since there was a grudge, then the Situ family would be the target of suspicion. Or perhaps, this was a trap set up by the two families to kill Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen’s actions showed that he was furious and wouldn’t let this matter rest. He wanted to do something to let certain people know that he wasn’t someone to be trifled with and that the consequences of offending him would be very serious.
Wasn’t it too arrogant for him to head to the Ji Family alone? At the very least, he should return to the Sha Clan to deploy some troops, right?
There was a possibility that the Sha Clan’s scouts had already sent the news back to the Sha Clan. The Sha Clan was considering if they should send out their experts to assist Xiao Chen to demonstrate or attack.
According to the Sha Clan’s temper, they would definitely immediately send out a large number of experts. The Ji Family was in trouble.
There were scouts from the various clans in the crowd, and there were definitely scouts from the Ji Clan, the Situ Clan, and the Sha Clan. The matter of Xiao Chen being ambushed by the assassins and how Xiao Chen counterkilled the assassins, as well as his current actions must have been reported back to the three clans. Of course, the scouts from the other clans had also reported back to the various clans.
Something big had happened!
Something big was going to happen. The Sha Thearch City had been silent for too long, and there were plenty of hidden conflicts that might be exposed because of Xiao Chen’s incident. It might even lead to an escalating battle between the major clans.
When Xiao Chen arrived in the Sha Thearch City, he had openly robbed the two Young Clan Heads of the Ji Clan and the Situ Clan, which were worth nearly 300,000 taels of purple gold. The Ji Clan and the Situ Clan didn’t even dare to let out a fart. Could it be that they bore grudges against Xiao Chen? They didn’t dare to do it openly and decided to do it in the dark, hiring assassins to kill Xiao Chen?
Things had become confusing, and it was hard to differentiate the truth from the lies. Xiao Chen’s current actions were going to blow up the matter, and the truth might really be exposed.
“Young Master!”
Military Kill Ripper also understood that things weren’t going well. He tried to stop Xiao Chen from going to the Ji Clan. If Xiao Chen went to the Ji Clan, things might get out of hand. He was a little afraid. Hence, he started to plead to Xiao Chen’s back, hoping that Xiao Chen would think twice before acting.
He couldn’t forcefully bring Xiao Chen back to the Sha Clan. Xiao Chen was the Sha Clan’s young master, and everything he did could partially represent the Sha Clan’s will. Even though he was a Purple Image Realm expert and was one of the higher-ups of the Sha Clan, he didn’t dare to go against Xiao Chen’s will. Otherwise, he would be offending his superior.
Xiao Chen heard Military Kill Ripper’s pleading, but he didn’t say anything. His footsteps didn’t stop, and he dragged the heavy wooden sword on the ground with one hand. He was indeed planning to go to the Ji Clan to demand an explanation.
It hadn’t even been a month since he came to the Sha Thearch City. Other than offending Ji Haoyue and Situ Nan for saving Su Qingyi, he didn’t offend anyone else.
He had also suspected the Yue Clan and Xue Clan in the Blood Sun City. However, the Yue Clan was almost wiped out, so what kind of storm could they still cause?
Therefore, the Yue Clan could be eliminated.
The Xue Clan was possible, but the Xue Clan had just sent a beautiful lady to curry favor with him. If they were to hire an assassin to assassinate him at the same time, wouldn’t that be contradictory and a waste of time?
Xue Wuchang wasn’t an idiot. If he was really an idiot, he wouldn’t be able to become the City Lord of the Blood Sun City and become an overlord.
Therefore, the Xue Clan could be eliminated as well.
After eliminating the Yue Clan and the Xue Clan, only the Ji Clan and Situ Clan of the Sha Thearch City were left. These two clans had the motive, and they had the wealth and connections to hire a Blood Bear Realm expert who possessed the Blessings of Speed to assassinate him. Xiao Chen deduced this, and it was a very reasonable deduction.
Therefore, Xiao Chen resolutely went to the Ji Clan and Situ Clan to demand an explanation. As for how he would demand an explanation, it would depend on the attitude of the two clans.
If the attitude of the two clans was bad, he didn’t mind starting a war with them and slaughtering them. He could use this as a warning and deterrence to all the people and forces that had the intention to harm him.
“Men!”
Military Kill Ripper silently looked at Xiao Chen who was getting further away. His expression was incomparably stern, but his mind was thinking. Suddenly, he shouted at the crowd of onlookers.
Moments later, a skinny and quick-witted martial artist came out from the crowd and quickly walked to Military Kill Ripper. He knelt down on one knee and asked respectfully, “My Lord!
Please instruct me! ”
“Go back to the Sha Clan immediately and meet with the Third Elder. Ask him to bring some men to the Ji Clan to support Young Master Xiao Chen. Tell him that Young Master Xiao Chen is in trouble!
Go now! “Military Kill Ripper ordered sternly.
“Yes!
My Lord! ”
The scout of the Sha Clan replied respectfully. He stood up and rushed towards the Sha Clan, disappearing into the dark night in just a moment.
“Swish!”
Military Kill Ripper moved as well. He quickly chased after Xiao Chen. His mission was to protect Xiao Chen’s safety before the Third Elder brought reinforcements. Even if he were to lose his life because of this, he would definitely protect Xiao Chen’s safety.
Something big was going to happen!
