A few people with cold expressions stood in the crowd. They were holding martial artist weapons and exuded dense killing intent.
If someone recognized the middle-aged man, they would recognize him as Chen Meng, who had been adopted by the Chen Clan to the Eight Immortals County's Shen Clan.
Chen Meng was Chen Canghai's true eldest son. Of course, he had changed his surname to Shen Meng.
Shen Meng was now in his thirties. His cultivation seemed to be even more terrifying than Chen Canghai's.
His gaze was fixed on the high platform in the plaza.
Today, the Chen Clan's enemies, the Ling Clan, were going to take over Yuhua Town.
How could he let these people get what they wanted?
The person behind Shen Meng was his junior brother in the Shen Clan. After Shen Meng was adopted by the Shen Clan, he had a high status in the Shen Clan because of his outstanding talent.
Breaking through to the Yin-Yang Realm at the age of 30 might not be worth mentioning compared to those peerless geniuses, but in the Eight Immortals County, it was very impressive.
He did not believe the rumors at all. He always believed that the Ling Clan had used despicable means to plot against the Chen Clan, causing the Chen Clan to be wiped out.
Actually, the truth was not important to him.
He only wanted the Ling Clan to pay the price. After all, although he was adopted by the Shen Clan, he was still a member of the Chen Clan.
"Young Master, shouldn't we get the Infernal Fruit first before considering revenge?"
A person behind Shen Meng whispered.
He spoke very carefully as if he was afraid of offending Shen Meng.
Shen Meng said in a deep voice, "That Lord Lin is guarding the Hell Fruit. Ling Xiao saw it long ago.
Even if we want to get the Hell Fruit, we have to kill that Ling Xiao first. That brat is not strong. Kill him first and stop the news of the Hell Fruit from leaking. Then, we can deal with the Ling Clan slowly. "
Because the story did not mention Ling Xiao's great achievements, Shen Meng did not know how strong Ling Xiao was.
In his eyes, Ling Xiao was just a bug that he could crush at any time.
"But Young Master, the three major clans of the Eight Immortals County are here today. I'm afraid it's not a good time to make a move."
Another person said.
"You are right. Then, let's wait for them to go back and find a chance."
Shen Meng took a deep breath and said, "In any case, that Ling Xiao is not valued by the Ling Family. It will be very easy to kill him."
As he spoke, his cold gaze suddenly turned towards Ling Xiao who was in the crowd.
Ling Xiao frowned and looked at Shen Meng.
He saw Chen Canghai's shadow on Shen Meng's face and could not help furrowing his brows.
"Ling Yuhua, does Chen Canghai have an illegitimate child outside?"
Ling Xiao suddenly asked.
Ling Yuhua did not know why he asked such a question, but he still shook his head and said, "I am not sure about the illegitimate child, but Chen Canghai had long ago given one of his sons to the Shen family of the Eight Immortals County for adoption."
"Do you see that figure?"
Ling Xiao pointed in Shen Meng's direction and asked.
Ling Yuhua looked up and was instantly alarmed. "Not good. This Shen Meng probably knew what happened to the Chen Clan and came back to take revenge. It is said that this guy has outstanding talent and has been treated as one of the successors by the Shen Clan.
With your current cultivation, I'm afraid you're not any weaker than me. "
"What are you afraid of? A mere Shen Meng can scare you to this extent?"
Ling Xiao glared at Ling Yuhua and said, "Could it be that what happened last night scared you so much that you peed your pants?
The Ling Yuhua that I know is a person who does not even recognize his own family. "
Ling Yuhua smiled bitterly and was speechless. He did not know how to reply.
After what happened last night, he really felt that he had become timid all of a sudden.
Just a little bit more and his Ling Clan would have been completely wiped out in Yuhua Town.
Luckily, Ling Xiao helped them.
Although Ling Xiao helped them at a price, this was still a very good outcome.
He really could not endure such an exciting matter.
"No wonder that guy has such a strong killing intent towards me. It seems like he is really planning to take revenge. However, the matter of me killing so many people in his clan did not seem to be spread out. Why is he only so hostile towards me?"
Ling Xiao was a little puzzled.
"Hell's Fruit!"
Suddenly, Ling Xiao thought of the Hell's Fruit that he had seen in Yuhua Mountain Range.
He instantly understood the reason.
Shen Meng wanted to kill him not because of hatred, but because he did not want him to leak the news of the Hell's Fruit.
It was said that Lord Lin was killed last night in Yuhua Mountain Range. If he guessed correctly, it was definitely done by this group of people.
It was obvious that the Hell's Fruit was very attractive.
However, that thing belongs to me, Ling Xiao. No one can take it away from me!
In an instant, Ling Xiao felt that he had to work harder in his cultivation.
Only by constantly becoming stronger could he prevent the thing that he wanted from being taken away by others.
Shen Meng, as well as the Shen family behind Shen Meng, was a giant to Yuhua Town.
Once the Shen Clan joined the fight, the situation would become very bad.
Just as Ling Xiao was thinking about these problems, the County Governor of Eight Immortals County, Lin Yuan, had already announced the final results of this year's Yuhua Festival.
"As all the disciples of the Chen Clan were killed, the winner of this year's Yuhua Festival is the Ling Clan.
The head of the Ling Clan, Ling Jiaojiao, will be the Yuhua Town's Guardian for the next ten years! "
As Lin Yuan's voice fell, the scene was dead silent.
After a while, it became chaotic again. Many people began to shout with righteous indignation.
"Isn't the head of the Ling Clan Ling Yuhua? Why did it change to a young lady? "
"That's right. How dare Ling Jiaojiao be our Yuhua Town's Guardian?"
"All of you, shut up!"
Lin Yuan glanced at Ling Xiao. His heart was still trembling. He was really afraid that this lunatic would turn the entire Yuhua Town into a purgatory in a moment of anger.
Therefore, he hurriedly asked everyone to stop talking.
His words might not have any effect on Ling Xiao, but to the others in Yuhua Town, they were still very powerful.
No one dared to disobey his orders.
The scene instantly became quiet.
"Ling Jiaojiao was appointed as the Guardian by the Eight Immortals County, and also by me. Moreover, she has the official seal of the imperial court!
Whoever dares to look down on the Guardian is looking down on me, the Eight Immortals County, and the imperial court! "
Lin Yuan's words were not only for the rowdy people, but also for Shen Meng, who intended to take revenge.
Of course, he knew that Chen Canghai had such a son.
Hearing Lin Yuan's words, many people fell silent.
Although they were not convinced by Ling Jiaojiao, they did not dare to disobey the County Guardian's words, much less the imperial court's orders.
They could only accept it obediently.
However, Shen Meng coldly glanced at County Guardian Lin Yuan. He thought to himself, You can scare others, but to scare me, Shen Meng? Dream on!
At the end of the day, this is a world where the strong preys on the weak. As long as I kill Ling Jiaojiao and destroy the Ling Clan, even the imperial court will not say anything.
Don't forget that my biological father is the Chen Kingdom's Yuhua King. However, didn't no one investigate his death?
