Chapter 78
Xiao Chen left a ruthless sentence and hurried out of his courtyard. He walked into the Sha Clan’s courtyard.
Recalling the sound of the teacup falling to the ground, he suddenly felt an inexplicable annoyance. He was a little shocked by this situation but he couldn’t think of a reason.
There were many guards patrolling the Sha Clan’s courtyard. The patrolling guards naturally saw Xiao Chen walking in silence. They wanted to greet Xiao Chen but when they saw Xiao Chen’s expression, they took a detour and walked further away.
Actually, Xiao Chen didn’t care about the guards’ greeting. On the contrary, he hated it when people called him young master. He was happy when the guards didn’t greet him.
But he didn’t know that after he walked far away, the guards started to talk about him behind his back.
“Brother, Young Master Xiao Chen caused quite a commotion last night. Everyone in the city is talking about him now. He has become famous again. However, some people say that he is too high-profile and arrogant. After he killed the assassin who tried to assassinate him, he was so stupid that he went to the Ji family alone to cause trouble. If the Sha family doesn’t send people to help him, he won’t be able to get out of this embarrassing situation. Even if he doesn’t die, he will be humiliated by the Ji family!” A younger guard suddenly said to the older guard beside him.
The older guard heard the younger guard’s words and was shocked. He scolded, “Shh!
Lower your voice, do you want to die?
Young Master Xiao Chen is a killing god. An ace assassin and three golden assassins failed to assassinate him. Instead, they were all killed by him!
How terrifying is his combat strength! ”
“He is a powerful young master. As for him causing trouble in Ji Clan’s house but leaving Third Elder and the others at the critical moment when the Sha Clan was preparing to attack Ji Clan, who is right and who is wrong?
The Sha Clan’s higher-ups have their own conclusions. It’s not something we can comment on. Do you understand?
Be careful of the loose lips!
Brother. ”
The older guard scolded the younger guard not to comment on the big incident last night. But he himself talked for half a day. But in the end, he still changed the topic.
“Mm, brother is wise!”
The younger guard flattered the older guard. He rolled his eyes and continued to ask, “I heard that Young Master Xiao Chen broke through his cultivation while sitting in front of Ji Clan’s house. Is this true?”
“It’s absolutely true!
Young Master Xiao Chen is courageous and insightful. The things that he has done are things that ordinary people don’t even dare to think about or do. However, there are also people who say that he is an idiot, a fool. If one of the Ji Family’s experts suddenly attacks him, he will definitely die! ”
The older guard felt a little smug after being flattered by the younger guard. He began to comment unscrupulously, “Actually, I believe that Young Master Xiao Chen is extremely smart and has a well-thought-out strategy. He has long determined that the Ji Family wouldn’t dare to act rashly!
In the Killing God Tribe, under the pressure of the Sha Clan, no one dared to openly kill the Sha Clan’s young masters!
Hehe! ”
“But Young Master Xiao Chen’s character is too cold and arrogant. He has offended many Young Masters and Young Masters of the Sha Family. Last night, he even humiliated Third Elder!” The young guard also expressed his inner opinion.
“En, this is also Young Master Xiao Chen’s Achilles heel. He is too cold and too arrogant. He doesn’t even care about Third Elder who takes care of him. If he shows off too much, he will die prematurely sooner or later. Sigh, what a pity. Eh, isn’t that the Grand Elder and Second Elder?
Hush, don’t discuss anymore … ”
The older guard nodded in agreement. Suddenly, his expression changed as he immediately warned the younger guard beside him to stop talking.
He saw the two important figures of the Sha Clan walking towards the front courtyard’s conference hall. The two of them quietly walked to other places to patrol.
…
Xiao Chen didn’t hear the Sha Clan’s guard’s gossipy comments about him. He silently walked out of the Sha Clan’s gate and hastened his footsteps. He quickly walked towards the Liu Clan’s Auction House in the south of the city. Every seven days or so, he would go to the Liu Clan’s Auction House to ask if there was any news of the Dragon Heart Grass.
Walking on the main street of the Sha Thearch City, Xiao Chen’s mood was much more relaxed. When he stayed in the Sha Clan, he always felt a little uncomfortable. He didn’t know the reason; perhaps it was because he disliked the Sha Clan.
There were many people on the main street. There were martial artists, commoners, and merchants. They were all walking very naturally, but when they saw Xiao Chen walking towards them, their expressions turned into fear. They avoided him as if they were avoiding the God of Plague.
Soon enough, a strange scene appeared on the main street. There was no one within a ten-meter radius of Xiao Chen. Some of the passersby even hid as far as they could. It seemed that if they got too close to Xiao Chen, they would be eaten by Xiao Chen.
“Eh?”
Xiao Chen’s senses were originally strong, and he immediately noticed the abnormality of the passersby. He felt that the passersby were looking at him with fear as if they were looking at a terrifying monster. He couldn’t help but frown, but his brows immediately relaxed. He had always been a loner. If no one bothered him, he would be happy to be free and unfettered.
Although Xiao Chen had no intention of grabbing someone to ask why everyone was avoiding him, he had overheard the conversation between two passers-by behind him with his extraordinary hearing.
“Bane?
I have become a bane?
Eh … “From the conversation between the two passersby martial artists, Xiao Chen understood why the passersby were avoiding him as if he was the God of Plague. His expression instantly turned strange and helpless.
It turned out that last night, after Xiao Chen created a huge commotion in Sha Thearch City, he went home to sleep. The Sha Clan ordered the entire city to search for suspicious individuals, causing the entire Sha Thearch City to be in chaos. Everyone was afraid that they might be treated as a suspicious individual and be captured if they weren’t careful.
The awe-inspiring General Sha Po led five thousand elite soldiers and turned the entire Sha Thearch City upside down. He didn’t disappoint the Third Elder’s request and successfully captured more than a hundred ‘suspicious individuals’. Among these ‘suspicious individuals’, there were unemployed vagrants and villains. There were also some wealthy clans and aristocratic clans’ disciples who were out to seek pleasure.
This caused those wealthy merchants and aristocratic clans to be anxious. They all ran to General Sha Po and tried to persuade him to release their people. However, General Sha Po was impartial and incorruptible. How could he let them go so easily?
The wealthy merchants and aristocratic clans clenched their teeth and spent a huge sum of money to redeem their people.
Many people in Sha Thearch City suffered a huge loss because of the Sha Clan. They were angry but didn’t dare to say anything. Finally, they shifted their resentment to the main culprit who caused this huge commotion — Xiao Chen.
If it wasn’t for Xiao Chen creating havoc in the Ji Clan, would the Sha Clan send out so many experts and troops?
If they didn’t send out experts and troops, would the Sha Clan conduct a city-wide search?
If they didn’t conduct a city-wide search, would they implicate so many innocent people?
The Ji Clan and the Situ Clan suffered even more. They suffered huge losses. Each of them lost nearly two million purple gold taels worth of their clan’s assets. And this was just their real estate. It didn’t even include how much profit these assets could make every year.
Therefore, who hated Xiao Chen the most?
It had to be the Ji Clan and the Situ Clan!
Moreover, the bloody incident that Xiao Chen created in Blood Sun City was once again brought up by someone. Moreover, it spread throughout the entire Sha Thearch City at lightning speed. The extermination of the Yue Clan was all attributed to Xiao Chen.
It was rumored that the Yue Clan, from the infants who were crying piteously to the elderly women who had lost all their teeth, the Yue Clan’s Patriarch, Elders, Young Masters, and Young Mistresses were all killed by Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen’s ferocity and bloodthirstiness caused people’s hair to stand on end!
In the end, someone concluded that wherever Xiao Chen went, there would be murder, plunder, and countless people would suffer misfortune. Xiao Chen was just like a star of calamity that brought disaster to the world, causing people to be afraid and horrified …
“So be it. As long as no one comes to bother me, it will be fine.”
Xiao Chen spoke helplessly in his heart. He wasn’t angry. With a grim expression, he quickened his pace and rushed to the Liu Clan’s Auction House.
