Hearing Xiao Chen's words, the soldiers were stunned for a moment. But soon, they sneered, "Kid, don't blame us if you're courting death."
Although Xiao Chen's strength had shocked the soldiers, they believed that no matter how powerful Xiao Chen was, he would still die if he offended the Xiao Family.
Xiao Chen couldn't be bothered to talk nonsense with these guys. He released one of the soldiers and asked him to inform the Xiao Family clansmen who were in charge of them. As for Xiao Chen, he waited at the city gate.
He didn't have to wait for long, at most a quarter of an hour. The soldier who left earlier strode in with a young man.
The young man was wearing a shiny silver armor. His face was filled with arrogance. From afar, the soldier pointed at Xiao Chen and shouted, "Sir, it's him. Not only did he injure us, he even insulted the Xiao Family. How dare he!"
It was obvious that the soldier had exaggerated Xiao Chen's actions. Upon hearing this, the young man looked in the direction the soldier was pointing at. The arrogant look on his face disappeared in an instant when he saw Xiao Chen, and it was replaced by a look of excitement and fear.
He was excited because Xiao Chen had returned. He was afraid because of his soldiers. He never thought that his soldiers would offend Xiao Chen.
The soldier didn't notice the change in the young man's expression. He was still talking leisurely. Hearing his words, the young man kicked the soldier without hesitation, sending him flying more than ten meters away. Then, he quickly ran to Xiao Chen and shouted with a complicated expression. "Brother Chen."
"You still know that I'm your Brother Chen? Look at the soldiers you've brought. "Xiao Chen shouted coldly in front of the young man.
Xiao Chen wasn't familiar with this young man. They had only met a few times in the past. He remembered that this young man was a collateral descendant of the Xiao Family.
A mere branch family descendant was able to sit in the middle of the Xiao Family's army. From this, one could see the Xiao Family's current status in Ling Shan County.
After being berated by Xiao Chen, the young man did not dare to refute in the slightest. He knew very well that a single sentence from Xiao Chen could cause him to fall into eternal damnation.
He lowered his head and did not say a word. Seeing this, Xiao Chen said indifferently, "Lock up all these people. No one is to be released without my permission."
He gave the order to imprison the soldiers. The young man nodded. Xiao Chen didn't say anything else. He walked into the city with the Pill Cloud Ruler.
The incident at the city gate was just a small interlude to Xiao Chen. However, it was also because of this incident that Xiao Chen wanted to take a good look at the current state of Lingshan Prefecture City.
He wasn't in a hurry to go home. Instead, he strolled around the city, especially the Eastern Street. Xiao Chen wanted to see what happened to the Widow Wang that the soldiers had mentioned earlier.
Xiao Chen walked all the way to East Street. Along the way, the anger in his heart burned more and more fiercely. Xiao Chen had already seen no less than ten fights in a short distance of less than a kilometer.
It was as if he had come to a city of chaos. There were no laws at all. Violent fights could be seen everywhere.
He didn't expect Lingshan Prefecture City to be in such a state. However, despite his anger, Xiao Chen didn't do anything. It wasn't the right time yet. Even if he did something now, it would only treat the symptoms and not the root cause.
Moreover, through Xiao Chen's secret observation, he noticed that these robbers all had a crescent-shaped emblem on their chests. Clearly, they were from the same faction.
There were other factions doing evil in Lingshan Prefecture City, but the Xiao Clan didn't care. However, there was something strange. These people were all commoners without any cultivation. Judging from their clothes, they didn't look like rich people, let alone cultivators.
Xiao Chen didn't know about the Hao Yue Gang. He went all the way to the Eastern Street. After asking around, Xiao Chen finally saw the Widow Wang that the soldiers had mentioned.
Widow Wang, who used to be quite pretty, now had bruises all over her face. It was obvious that she had been beaten up. Her eyes were lifeless. It seemed that her mind had been damaged. Perhaps her husband's death was too much of a blow to her.
She was a beautiful young girl with a happy family, but she had been tortured by those ruffians. Xiao Chen did not say much to Widow Wang. He left her some money and told her that he would seek justice for her. Then, he left.
"Don't worry. Those people won't come again. As for your husband's death, I will give you an explanation. Don't worry." Xiao Chen said to the Widow Wang softly. Then, he turned around and left. However, just as he reached the door, the Widow Wang, who had been silent with her head lowered, suddenly whispered a word of thanks.
This simple word of thanks made Xiao Chen feel even worse. At the same time, his dissatisfaction with the Xiao Clan grew. His heart was cold. Fortunately, he had returned. Otherwise, he didn't know what the Xiao Clan would become. Faced with unprecedented power, some of the Xiao Clan members might have lost their minds. However, it didn't matter. Xiao Chen would fight them back the same way they lost their minds. This time, Xiao Chen would rectify the Xiao Clan's reputation.
After understanding the situation in Lingshan Prefecture City and seeing the Widow Wang, Xiao Chen and the Pill Cloud Sovereign returned to the Xiao Clan.
Xiao Chen's sudden return naturally delighted the members of the Xiao Clan. However, Xiao Chen's face was cold in the face of the smiling faces of his clansmen.
First, he asked someone to arrange a place for the Pill Cloud Sovereign. The Pill Cloud Sovereign obviously wasn't interested in these things.
After personally settling Dao Master Pill Cloud, Xiao Chen, Xiao Qing, and Qin Lie came to the study. Xiao Chen looked at his father and said.
"Father, do you know what the Xiao Clan has become?" He didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
Xiao Chen thought that Xiao Qing didn't know what the Xiao Clan was doing. Who knew that Xiao Qing would laugh bitterly when he heard Xiao Chen's words.
"You saw it, Chen 'er?"
Hmm? Hearing Xiao Qing's words, Xiao Chen was first stunned. From his tone, Xiao Qing seemed to know everything. Since he knew everything, why did Xiao Qing allow his people to do whatever they wanted?
Xiao Chen continued to ask. "Father, you knew about it? Since that's the case, why didn't you stop and punish them? "
"Chen 'er, I …" Xiao Qing didn't know what to say after hearing Xiao Chen's words.
However, unlike Xiao Qing, Qin Lie didn't have any scruples. He immediately told Xiao Chen the truth about the Xiao Clan's Second Master and Third Master.
After hearing Qin Lie's explanation, Xiao Chen quickly understood what was going on. He also found the root of the problem, which was that his two uncles were the ones behind it.
(Speaking of the issue of updating, some brothers say that it's too slow. However, Wufeng's writing can't keep up with the brothers' reading. It takes at least an hour to write a chapter, and that's under the premise that he doesn't get stuck. Brothers, on the other hand, can finish a chapter in ten minutes. Therefore, Wufeng must be doing his best to update.
Let's cut to the chase. Let's talk about the update times that the brothers are most concerned about. From now on, every day at four o 'clock, at twelve o' clock at noon, at four o 'clock in the afternoon, and at seven o' clock and nine o 'clock in the evening. This is Wufeng's limit. Of course, there will be an explosion of chapters. I hope that the brothers will continue to support Wufeng. As for the comments in the book review section, I won't reply to them one by one.
