After settling everyone in the restaurant and waiting, Xiao Chen and the Burning Sky Ruler went to purchase a mansion. Along the way, Xiao Chen learned that if one wanted to buy a mansion in Moon Trace City, they had to go to the City Lord's Mansion. All vacant mansions belonged to the City Lord's Mansion.
After learning about the process of purchasing a mansion, Xiao Chen and the Burning Sky Ruler walked towards the City Lord's Mansion. As the number one faction in Moon Trace City, the City Lord's Mansion was naturally not difficult to find. It was located in the center of Moon Trace City and occupied a large area.
"Xiao Chen, in the future, you and I will call each other uncle and nephew in the Tianhe Continent," the Burning Sky Ruler said as they walked.
In the Tianhe Continent, they naturally couldn't easily reveal their true identities. Who knew what kind of attitude the people of the Tianhe Continent had towards outsiders from other continents? If the Tianhe Continent was extremely xenophobic, wouldn't that be asking for trouble?
Therefore, the Burning Sky Ruler thought that the relationship between them was that of master and servant, and Xiao Chen was his nephew. In the future, others would call the Burning Sky Ruler Lord and Xiao Chen Young Master.
Hearing the Burning Sky Ruler's words, Xiao Chen nodded. In the Tianhe Continent, it was indeed necessary to pay attention to concealing their true identities. After all, they weren't from this continent.
They rushed all the way to the City Lord's Mansion. Just as Xiao Chen and the Burning Sky Ruler were walking along the street, in the distance, Xiao Chen saw a group of guards wearing martial attire surrounding a white-haired old man, punching and kicking him. At the same time, in front of this group of guards, there was a luxuriously dressed young man watching all of this with a sneer.
Obviously, the luxuriously dressed young man should be a descendant of some large family in Moon Trace City, and the group of guards were his followers. As for the old man, judging from his clothes, he didn't seem to have any status, and his cultivation was only at the Earth Mirror realm.
Facing such a scene, Xiao Chen frowned slightly, but he didn't make a move. If they were in the Tianchen Continent, Xiao Chen would definitely berate them, but now, they were in the Tianhe Continent. First, he didn't know the identity of the young man, and second, Xiao Chen didn't want to cause more trouble.
Some of them were shocked that more than ten strong young men were ganging up on an old man with one foot in the grave. Moreover, looking at the strength of these people, it was obvious that they did not hold back at all and were extremely ruthless.
As for the old man who was being beaten up by the crowd, his complexion was already pale. His aura was weak and he was vomiting blood nonstop. It was evident that he was seriously injured.
None of the passersby dared to stop them. They were probably afraid of the young man's identity.
Xiao Chen silently walked past this group of people like other passers-by. Just as he passed by the young man, he heard the young man say with a sneer.
"An old fart dares to meddle in other people's business. Isn't she just a slut? It's fine if I kill him, but you still dare to report me to the City Lord Manor. Hmph, you don't know what you're talking about. Beat him up, beat him up ruthlessly. "
As the young man's voice fell, the old man who was being beaten up weakly said, "Wu De, you're not human. My granddaughter is only twelve years old this year, and you're actually so ruthless. She's just a slut in your eyes, but in this old man's eyes, she's my only family. Us grandfather and granddaughter depend on each other for survival in Moon Trace City. How can you do such a heartless thing? Today, this old man swears that as long as this old man still has a breath left in him, even if I have to report this to the Imperial Capital, this old man will seek justice. This old man doesn't believe that your Wu Family can cover the sky with one hand."
"You still want to report this to the Imperial Capital? You old bastard, are you dreaming? Today, whether you can live or not will depend on this young master's mood. Beat him up, beat him up ruthlessly, and kill this old man. "As if he was completely enraged by the old man's words, Wu De's eyes were overflowing with killing intent as he shouted.
Upon hearing Wu De's words, the dozen or so henchmen under him became even more ruthless in their attacks.
Xiao Chen passed by Wu De. From the brief conversation between the two of them, he could make out some clues. The matter should be that Wu De took a fancy to the old man's granddaughter, who was then forcefully taken advantage of, and finally tortured to death by Wu De. The old man was filled with grief and indignation, so he went to the City Lord Manor to report Wu De. In the end, Wu De found out about this matter, which was why he beat the old man up on the street.
According to the old man, the granddaughter was only twelve years old. At such an age, she could only be considered a little girl. But even so, Wu De actually tortured her to death.
Xiao Chen originally intended to ignore this matter, but just as he was about to leave, he heard the old man's angry roar from behind.
"Wu De, this old man will not let you go even if I become a ghost. You bastard, ah …"
As if he had used up his last breath, the old man's angry roar fell. It was as if he no longer had any strength left. He weakly lay on the ground, allowing the dozen or so henchmen to ruthlessly beat his body. His body trembled from time to time, and blood continuously flowed out from his mouth. The look in his eyes gradually became lax, but at the corner of the old man's eyes, two lines of clear tears silently flowed down.
These two lines of clear tears seemed to be telling the injustice of the heavens, telling the grief and indignation in the old man's heart. The heavens were ruthless and treated all living things like straw dogs.
Why were people divided into three, six, and nine classes the moment they were born? Why did people without status and background have to be bullied and humiliated? Why was it said that the heavens had eyes, but no one had ever seen the heavens really open those eyes?
His breathing grew weaker and weaker. Blood continuously flowed and gathered at the corner of the old man's mouth. At the same time, every time the old man breathed, because of the blood in his mouth, there would be a slight popping sound, as if a bubble was being blown.
Xiao Chen had already walked past the young man, but at this moment, he stopped in his tracks. Reason kept telling Xiao Chen that he shouldn't get involved in this matter. Now that they hadn't established a firm foothold in the Skyriver Continent and Moontrace City, they shouldn't cause trouble for no reason.
But in the face of the old man's angry roar, Xiao Chen couldn't convince himself to ignore it. Looking at the silent Xiao Chen, the Burning Sky Ruler didn't say a word, as if everything was up to Xiao Chen. If Xiao Chen wanted to get involved, he would stand firmly behind Xiao Chen and give him enough confidence. And if Xiao Chen chose to ignore it, he wouldn't say anything.
At the same time, the young man behind him had already unsheathed the sword in his hand, walked up to the old man, and said with a sneer.
"Old man, open your eyes a little wider in your next life. There are some people you can't afford to offend, and you still want to sue me? Go die, old thing."
As he spoke, the young man thrust out his sword. Sword light flashed. Seeing that the old man was about to die under this sword, the surrounding people couldn't bear to watch and averted their gazes. However, at this critical moment, an unexpected scene occurred.
A young man in white appeared out of nowhere and instantly appeared in front of the old man. He stretched out two fingers of his right hand, and with two fingers, he firmly clamped the young man's sword.
