Genius Daddy in the City - Chapter 857
Chapter 857: People from the Seven High Sects Are Here!
At Border Dragon City, when Ye Chen returned with Mengmeng, he saw that the city was heavily guarded and filled with killing intent.
Groups of imperial guards from the City Governor’s Mansion went around capturing the people on the streets. For a time, all sorts of cries of grievances rang out.
While Ye Chen looked surprised, he heard a few ordinary people talking among themselves.
“It’s said that half an hour ago, a mysterious person killed many paragons of the high sects in succession. As a result, the City Governor’s Mansion became furious and mobilized the imperial guards to capture that person.”
“Not only that, I’ve also heard that the seven high sects have joined hands to pressure the Xiao clan, ordering them to find the real culprit within three days!”
“It’s so miserable, it’s so sad. Anyone who wears a conical hat will be captured on the spot if they don’t have any identification documents. Someone will be killed if they resist.”
“What a sin. Say, if that mysterious person wanted to kill someone, he should’ve done that further away. Why did he have to kill someone outside Border Dragon City? Great, now he has implicated many people.”
Ye Chen smiled calmly after hearing everyone’s discussion. He did not expect the Xiao clan to be the first to panic.
When he saw that many imperial guards passed by him without noticing him, he chuckled softly and led the little girl back to Wuling Inn.
As soon as he entered the inn, he found Fu Qiuchan and the others from the Star Sect packing their luggage.
When she saw him, Fu Qingqing ran up to him. There was worry in her eyes, “Brother Ye, where have you been? We’ve been looking for you for so long, and we thought something had happened to you.”
“I’m fine. I was bored in the inn earlier, so I decided to go for a walk.” Ye Chen smiled and asked, “Are you guys leaving?”
“Yeah!
“Brother Ye, you’ve no idea, but we just witnessed a massive scene. It was too shocking!”
Fu Qingqing nodded. She seemed to have thought of something and immediately said excitedly, “Just outside Border Dragon City, a person wearing a conical hat killed many supreme paragons consecutively. Among them was Daoist Soni of Dao Sect…”
“Qingqing!”
Fu Qiuchan, who was standing aside, interrupted her immediately. She glanced at Ye Chen coldly with suspicion in her beautiful eyes, “Where did you go?”
Before she left, she ordered a maid to keep an eye on Ye Chen. However, Ye Chen left without anyone noticing.
She could not help but suspect Ye Chen after she recalled that Fu Qingqing had guessed that the mysterious man who killed numerous supreme paragons was Ye Chen.
Ye Chen frowned slightly and said, “I told you. I was bored, so I took my daughter out for a walk.”
Only then did Fu Qiuchan take a glance at the cute little darling in his arms. The doubt on her face gradually disappeared, “We plan to head back. The situation in Border Dragon City is complicated now. If you don’t want to die, you should leave soon!”
“Why are you wasting your breath talking to someone like that? Let’s go!” Yue Kun walked out with a few Star Sect disciples after packing his stuff. He did not show Ye Chen any respect.
This time, the No. 1 true disciple of the Star Sect had been killed, so they could no longer participate in the Xiao clan’s birthday celebration. They had to return to the sect as soon as possible to explain the situation.
At that moment, an old voice suddenly exploded in everyone’s ears, “There’s no need to leave!”
At the next moment, an old man appeared before everyone’s eyes like a ghost. He wore a purple robe with countless stars embroidered on it. His aura was concealed and reserved. He was obviously a Pseudo Emperor Stage cultivator.
Upon seeing the person, Fu Qiuchan and the others were shocked at first. Then, they knelt on one knee respectfully, “Greetings, Elder Phecda!”
The person was an elder from the Star Sect’s Phecda Peak.
Elder Phecda glanced at everyone coldly. His gaze paused on Ye Chen and Fu Qingqing for a few seconds before he said, “Get up!”
After everyone stood up, the old man said, “I’m here on the orders of the sect to investigate Shang Xingchen’s death!”
Fu Qiuchan and the rest immediately became spirited. Yue Kun could not help but ask, “Elder Phecda, does that mean we have to stay in Border Dragon City to work with you?”
“It’s not just us. The other sects are doing the same!”
Elder Phecda’s expression was extremely dignified, “This time, all the seven high sects, including our Star Sect, have come. This time, even if we have to turn the sky and mountain around, we must find that b*stard!”
‘What? The seven high sects have all come?’
When they heard those words, Fu Qiuchan and the others felt their scalps go numb and their minds endlessly shaken. Clearly, this matter had completely blown up. The fury of the seven high sects was enough to shake the entire Kunlun Ruins.
What the few of them did not notice was a flash of coldness in Ye Chen’s calm eyes.
A few seconds later, Fu Qiuchan mustered her courage and asked, “Elder Phecda, are we going to attend the Xiao clan’s birthday celebration?”
“Why not?!
“I can ask the Xiao clan for an explanation!”
Elder Phecda scoffed. He looked at Ye Chen and Fu Qingqing when he was done talking, “Who are these two?”
“Elder, Qingqing is my sister. I want to bring her into our Star Sect,” Fu Qiuchan hurriedly explained.
Just when she was about to introduce Ye Chen, Yue Kun pointed at Ye Chen first and said, “Elder, we met this brat on the way here. He insisted on coming to Border Dragon City with us. He said he wanted to see the world.”
“Nonsense!”
Elder Phecda immediately berated, “Since you’re not a member of our Star Sect, why are you so close to him? Don’t forget your status as a disciple of a high sect!”
Yue Kun looked at Ye Chen teasingly, “Ye, did you hear that? Get lost now. Don’t embarrass yourself!”
“Then I shall leave!”
Ye Chen smiled lightly and left Wuling Inn with the little girl in his arms. Fu Qingqing wanted to say something when she saw that, but Fu Qiuchan glared at her fiercely.
Fu Qiuchan watched Ye Chen leave and secretly shook her head, ‘Don’t blame me for being too cold. The difference between you and us is too great.
‘It’s good that you’ve left, so that you won’t have any ill intentions towards Qingqing. Moreover, Border Dragon City is filled with killing intent now. If you continue to stay, you’ll only be throwing your life away.’
…
At the same time, in the City Governor’s Mansion, Border Dragon City Governor Nie Yuan looked at the old man in front of him from a close distance and narrowed his eyes, “Are you sure that person was chased out by the people from the Star Sect?”
“City Governor, this humble one dares to guarantee with my life!” The old man placed his head on the ground and said with absolute certainty.
“Looks like this brat isn’t someone from the high sect. In addition, he came alone, so his background must be nothing impressive.”
Nie Yuan slowly stood up and activated the mechanism on the wall, revealing a small shrine. Inside the shrine was a palm-sized coffin with a fistful of hair and ashes.
“Feng’er, you died when you were only five. Although I secretly hired someone from the Ghoul Sect to refine you into a ghost and worship you in the shrine, you’ve been lonely all these years!”
Nie Yuan looked at the shrine carefully and a sinister look flashed across his face, “I recently discovered a little girl who has quite a bit of spirituality. If I refine her into a ghost, she can be your company!”
