Chapter 74
“Wow!”
When the hundreds and thousands of spectators saw how the Sha Clan seized one-third of the Ji Clan’s property without a single drop of blood, they were so shocked that they almost bit off their tongues. They were amazed at the Sha Clan’s methods and tyranny. They had the strength to easily obtain nearly two million taels of purple gold.
The Sha Clan had made a huge profit, but the Ji Clan was going to cry to death!
Some people were happy, while others were worried!
After swallowing such wealth, the Sha Clan was still not satisfied. They had already extended their greedy claws to their next prey — the Situ Clan.
The spectators began to run towards the Situ Clan. They wanted to know what would happen to the Situ Clan.
Would the Situ Clan submit like the Ji Clan?
Everything was unknown. They had to see it with their own eyes.
Soon, the spectators near the Ji Clan’s entrance were all gone. Almost all of them had rushed to the Situ Clan’s entrance. The originally lively scene had become a little quiet.
Suddenly, on the balcony of a dilapidated two-story building beside the main road, a graceful woman and a slightly hunched old woman appeared. Both of them were silently looking at the Ji Clan’s entrance.
“Eldest Young Lady, the Ji Clan has suffered a great loss this time. Although we managed to avoid being exterminated, we still suffered a great loss!
Hehe. ”
The old woman suddenly opened her mouth to speak. Although her voice was hoarse, it sounded kind and benevolent.
Due to the darkness of the night, the appearance of the woman with an excellent figure was a little hazy. However, one could be sure that this woman was definitely a great beauty.
When she heard the old woman behind her, her red lips opened slightly. A soft and pleasant voice was heard.
“Granny Liu, the Sha Clan was able to obtain so much not only because of their strength, but also because of Xiao Chen’s help. If Xiao Chen didn’t cause such a huge commotion, the Sha Clan wouldn’t have sent so many experts to the Ji Clan. Especially when Xiao Chen left at the most crucial moment as if it was none of his business, the Sha Clan was furious. That was why the Sha Clan took the opportunity to ruthlessly slaughter the Ji Clan!
Hehe! ”
What a familiar woman’s voice!
If Xiao Chen was here, he would immediately recognize the voice because Xiao Chen had seen the owner of the voice several times. She was the eldest daughter of the Liu Family and the chief auctioneer of the Liu Family Auction House, Liu Ruyue!
“The First Miss is right. Xiao Chen’s actions were the most crucial part of tonight’s events. From the moment he was assassinated, he rushed to the Ji Family’s entrance, and then he coldly stood there to create a tense atmosphere. Then he shouted for Ji Haoyue to come out and accept his death. He pressured the Ji Family step by step. Then, he made a dramatic turn and broke through on the spot. In the end, when everyone was waiting to see how he would deal with the Ji Family, he actually left.”
The old woman who was called Granny Liu by Ruyue followed Ruyue’s words and summarized what Xiao Chen had done tonight. Her hoarse voice faintly contained a sense of appreciation. After a short pause, she continued,
“Xiao Chen’s series of actions have brought the situation to the most tense moment, giving the Sha family the perfect opportunity to take advantage of the Ji family. If all of this was done unintentionally by Xiao Chen, it would be fine. But if it was done intentionally by Xiao Chen, then this young man is too scary. His scheming is extremely deep. In time, Xiao Chen will definitely become the next Sha Polang, or even surpass Sha Polang’s achievements. It is entirely possible for him to become the future ruler of the God Killing Tribe!”
“Oh?”
Ruyue couldn’t help but glance at the old woman behind her with a slightly astonished gaze. She thought in her heart, ‘Granny Liu is rarely such a ruthless young man. It seems like Xiao Chen is indeed different. En, I also think so. Xiao Chen is indeed a very charming young man …’
“First Miss, Xiao Chen is not only extremely talented, he is also very smart. I suggest that the Liu Clan should try their best to be on good terms with Xiao Chen. Even if we can’t rope in Xiao Chen, we have to be on good terms with him. Even if we can’t be on good terms with him, at least we can’t be enemies!”
The cloudy eyes of the old woman suddenly erupted with a corporeal light. Her entire aura changed, causing people to feel fear when they looked at her. She was actually an expert at the Violet Image Realm, and she seemed to be much stronger compared to ordinary Violet Image Realm experts.
Ruyue cast her gaze towards the direction of the Sha Clan with a thoughtful expression. A moment later, her beautiful face blossomed, brightening up the dark night. She mumbled to herself, “Granny Liu is right. Xiao Chen’s current performance is indeed very outstanding. He is a strange young man, a mysterious young man, and an interesting young man. Ruyue will definitely think of a way to be on good terms with him. If he can completely move this young lady’s heart, Ruyue wouldn’t mind him becoming my man.”
“Your man?
Ah?
First Miss, you have never been interested in men, but you are moved by a young boy. It seems like Xiao Chen’s charm is not small. If First Miss really likes him, then it is his great fortune. Hehe. ”
When the old woman heard Ruyue’s words, she was slightly shocked and then relieved. Xiao Chen was indeed a very unique and charming young man. If she was 60 years younger, she would probably be moved as well.
“Granny Liu, let’s go back.” Ruyue said lightly and turned around to walk towards the stairs.
Granny Liu followed her silently.
…
Of course, Xiao Chen didn’t know that he had been fancied by the goddess Liu Ruyue in the hearts of all men in Sha Di City. At this moment, he had just entered the gate of the Sha Clan and was walking towards his residence.
When the Sha Clan’s guards saw Xiao Chen come back alone, they were surprised and thought, ‘Didn’t the elder bring people to find Young Master Xiao Chen?
Why did they see Young Master Xiao Chen come back alone? ‘
Strange … The guards didn’t dare to ask Xiao Chen. They just greeted Xiao Chen and silently watched as Xiao Chen left in front of them.
Xiao Chen walked quickly. Except for a few Sha Clan’s guards, he didn’t meet any elders, young masters, or young masters of the Sha Clan. He also didn’t meet the Sha Clan’s patriarch, Sha Potian. Soon, he reached the gate of the Soaring Dragon Pavilion and stepped into the courtyard without thinking.
“Hmm?
Something is wrong … ”
Xiao Chen was walking in the yard. After taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped. His originally relaxed face became a bit tense. He frowned slightly and reached out with his right hand, quietly grasping the hilt of his wooden sword. His ears moved slightly as he listened carefully.
After a moment, his body released an invisible killing aura. He sneered in his heart, ‘Is there someone upstairs?
His breathing is very light and peaceful. He didn’t release any killing aura. Could it be another assassin?
But if it is really an assassin, then this assassin’s concealment and concealment skills are quite terrifying. However, even the most powerful assassin would be unlucky to meet me. Hehe … ‘
When Xiao Chen entered the courtyard, he felt the abnormality in the courtyard. It was as if there was something extra. After sensing carefully, he sensed that there was someone hiding on the second floor.
He was just attacked by an assassin outside. Naturally, he thought that there was a brilliant assassin hiding on the second floor.
Xiao Chen started to walk like a cheetah in the dark night. He didn’t make a single sound. At the same time, he slowed down his breathing and slowly walked to the second floor.
Soon, Xiao Chen walked into the first floor’s gate and started to step on the wooden stairs that led to the second floor.
“Dong, dong, dong …”
Even though Xiao Chen had already gathered his qi and lowered his footsteps, there was still a slight sound coming from the wooden stairs.
Xiao Chen frowned and didn’t care anymore. He started to speed up and rushed to the second floor. In the blink of an eye, he was on the second floor.
There were four rooms on the second floor. Xiao Chen sensed again and found that the assassin was actually hiding in the room that he usually slept in. He couldn’t help but laugh coldly in his heart.
“Zeng.”
Accompanied by the sound of a sword being drawn, the wooden sword was already in Xiao Chen’s hand. In the next moment, he jumped up like a leopard. He swung the wooden sword in half a circle and smashed it at the thick wooden door with lightning speed.
