In the eyes of the Chen Family Head, Xiao Chen and Lin Yun were Progenitor Realm experts.
This should be where their confidence came from. However, it was simply wishful thinking to think that they could compete with the Chen Family just because they had Progenitor Realm strength.
The reason why the Chen Family could rise so quickly was not because of anything else, but because they had the backing of the Divine Temple.
To be honest, not to mention the entire Land of All Living Beings, the Chen Family's foundation could only be considered shallow even in the surroundings of East Saint City.
It could be said that they were a family without any foundation, but they could rise in such a short period of time.
They became the undisputed Lord of East Saint City, and even the City Lord Mansion had to be courteous to them. This was definitely not because of the Chen Family's strength.
In the beginning, the Chen Family could be said to have no experts, only the Progenitor Realm expert in the Chen Family Ancestor.
In the past, an Progenitor Realm expert was indeed very strong, but in the Land of All Living Beings, it was nothing.
After all, after the establishment of the Land of All Living Beings, many experts sprung up like bamboo shoots after the rain, so the Chen Family was really nothing.
Moreover, it was impossible for the Chen Family to dominate the entire East Saint City with just this.
The real opportunity for the Chen Family to rise was because the Chen Family Ancestor was lucky enough to join the Divine Temple.
Although he was not considered to be in power in the Divine Temple, and his status was very ordinary, even so, it was enough for the Chen Family to leap up.
It was because of this that the Chen Family developed so quickly.
They then recruited many experts to serve them, and the reason why these guards joined the Chen Family was very simple. It was because of the Chen Family Ancestor, or rather, the Divine Temple.
With the Divine Temple as a big tree, the Chen Family could be so fearless. In the Land of All Living Beings, the Chen Family Head did not believe that anyone could compete with the Divine Temple.
The murderous intent in his eyes did not decrease, but increased instead. At the same time, he had already contacted the Chen Family Ancestor, who should be on his way back.
In response, Xiao Chen and Lin Yun were not in a hurry to make a move. They only suppressed the crowd with their coercion, then led Qin Shuirou, Hundred Flower Fairy, and the other girls to the main hall and sat down, as if they were waiting for the Chen Family Ancestor to arrive.
"Reckless."
Seeing that Xiao Chen and the others did not intend to escape, the Chen Family's Patriarch sneered in his heart.
This was their only chance to escape. Since they didn't want to escape, they could only wait to die. When the Old Ancestor arrived, they would all die.
However, those women were outstanding beauties, so he could spare their lives.
He still doesn't know what kind of existence he has provoked, the Chen Family Head thought to himself.
On the other side, the young man and woman beside Xiao Chen's group carefully asked when they saw this situation.
"Senior …"
The two of them also felt that it was time for Xiao Chen and the others to leave. No matter what, they had to leave East Sage City first.
But before the two of them could say anything, Bai Hua Fairy smiled at them.
"Just watch from the side. It's fine."
The two of them didn't know Xiao Chen's identity, and there was nothing they could do to help.
Just as the group of Chen Clan's experts were suppressed by the pressure and were unable to move, the people from the City Lord Mansion also arrived. They were personally led by the City Lord.
When he learned that the Chen Clan's Third Young Master had been killed, the City Lord was shocked.
He knew how domineering the Chen Clan was. Now that such a big thing had happened, the Chen Clan would definitely cause an uproar in the city.
As the City Lord, he naturally didn't want things to get out of hand. Otherwise, the Chen Clan might be fine, but as the City Lord, he wouldn't be so lucky.
Therefore, when he heard the news, the City Lord immediately rushed over with his men.
His original intention was to negotiate with the Chen Clan and ask them not to make a big deal out of it. Otherwise, it wouldn't be good for anyone, and it would be fine to just kill them in secret.
But no one expected that when the City Lord led his men into the Chen Clan's Mansion, they would see the Chen Clan members kneeling on the ground.
Even he himself felt a powerful pressure at this moment.
To be able to become the City Lord of East Sage City, this person's cultivation base was naturally not low. He was directly in the Progenitor realm.
But so what if he was an Progenitor? In East Sage City, he still had to give the Chen Clan face.
This was also why the Chen Clan Head didn't panic when he guessed that Xiao Chen and Lin Yun might be Progenitor realm experts.
Even though the City Lord of East Sage City was also an Progenitor realm expert, he still had to be respectful to the Chen Clan.
"This, Brother Chen, you …"
"Hmph, those two are Progenitor realm experts. Hurry up and take them down."
The Chen Clan Head coldly snorted. His tone was extremely unyielding, without the slightest bit of respect.
Seeing this, the City Lord frowned, but he didn't dare to say anything. He could only endure the terrifying pressure and enter the main hall.
Xiao Chen and the others naturally knew that the City Lord was coming, so they didn't use their pressure to suppress him. Otherwise, even if he was an Progenitor realm expert, he would only end up like the Chen Clan members, forced to kneel on the ground.
Xiao Chen wanted to see how the City Lord of East Sage City, an Progenitor realm expert, could be suppressed by a small clan in the territory under his jurisdiction.
Due to the special geographical location of East Sage City, under normal circumstances, the City Lord's position had to be approved by the Sacred Temple.
Of course, these trivial matters naturally couldn't reach Xiao Chen and the others. In other words, Cang Xing and the others' approval was enough.
Therefore, Xiao Chen didn't know the City Lord, and he had never seen Xiao Chen and the others before.
When he arrived at the main hall and saw Xiao Chen and Lin Yun sitting on the main seat, the City Lord took a deep breath and shouted coldly.
"Impudent! East Sage City strictly forbids fighting. Are you out of your mind?"
The City Lord didn't care who Xiao Chen and Lin Yun were. He knew very well that he was already tied to the Chen Clan.
Besides, who cared who they were? The Chen Clan's Progenitor was from the Sacred Temple.
No matter what, he had to stand on the Chen Clan's side. This was the City Lord's opinion.
Hearing the City Lord's rebuke, Xiao Chen smiled, but the anger in his heart continued to grow.
Now, he knew why a City Lord was suppressed by a small clan to the point that he couldn't raise his head.
Such a person was simply a lackey. Even if he was an Progenitor realm expert, he couldn't hide the servile nature in his body.
"How lawless! Then what about the Chen Clan's actions in the city for no reason?"
The Chen Clan could take action, but others couldn't? The rules of East Sage City were followed by others, but the Chen Clan didn't?
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, the City Lord was still unrepentant. Instead, he said coldly.
"Hmph, you killed Third Young Master Chen on the street. The Chen Clan only took action to arrest you. What's wrong with that?"
"Also, now that you've been captured and brought to the Chen Clan, you still dared to take action. Are you not putting the City Lord's Mansion and the Sacred Temple in your eyes?"
