The moment the old man died, the powerful senses of the soul suddenly swept over from Scarlet Water City, enveloping the entire street.
The owner of the senses of the soul was a peak Divine King. Originally, it should have been impossible for them to discover Jianchen with the strength of the senses of the soul.
However, Jianchen did not hide himself. He let out his presence slightly, disguising himself as an early Divine King.
This caused his body to be clearly exposed to this Divine Sense.
"Hmph!"
A cold snort rang out in Jianchen's head. It was filled with killing intent.
At the same time, the ground of Scarlet Water City suddenly shook. A powerful formation rose up, enveloping the entire city. Even all the teleportation formations in the city stopped functioning at that moment.
In a single moment, the entire city was completely sealed off from the outside world.
Jianchen glanced past the protective formation of the city before looking in the direction of the city lord's estate. He did not take it to heart. Instead, he looked at the girl and asked, "Little girl, where are your parents?"
The girl seemed to forget about her fear when she heard that. Her eyes reddened as she slowly explained her origins.
As it turned out, her name was Fang Jing 'er. She was only sixteen years old. When she was born, both her parents had passed away, so her grandfather had raised her single-handedly.
Her grandfather was an insignificant figure who lived at the bottom of the Saints' World. He was only a Divine Emperor, not even at the Origin realm.
However, even with that being the case, Fang Jing 'er was able to live a carefree life under her grandfather's care even though she was unable to obtain endless cultivation resources.
However, good times did not last forever. Her grandfather was injured by someone in Pool Water City three years ago. He was heavily injured, and his life was hanging by a thread. He could die at any time.
After losing her grandfather's support, Fang Jing 'er began a life of self-reliance. She used a map of Pool Water City that her grandfather had found a long time ago and drew it herself. She created rough maps stroke by stroke and sold them. Afterwards, she used the divine crystals she obtained from selling the maps to buy low level healing pills that cost a hundred low grade divine crystals each, keeping her grandfather alive …
"My grandfather needs to eat a pill every month to keep his life. It's already been over twenty days, and I've already sold nine maps this month. I only need one more, and I'll be able to gather enough divine crystals for a pill. Fortunately, I wasn't captured by them, or I definitely wouldn't have been able to sell ten maps this month. If I couldn't give my grandfather the pill on time, he wouldn't have been able to survive. Those people are just too evil … "Fang Jing 'er's face was filled with lingering fear. Right now, there was only her grandfather in her heart.
Jianchen sighed as he listened to the girl's bitter and tragic fate. After a moment of silence, he said, "I plan on going to the city lord's estate. Little girl, come with us. I'll let you personally witness the people who wanted to capture you disintegrate right before your eyes."
Jianchen also understood that his actions were far too cruel to a girl who had yet to mature.
However, this was the Saints' World, a world where the strong preyed on the weak. If one wanted to survive in this world, they needed to adapt to its laws.
At the same time, three middle-aged men sat around a round table in the city lord's estate. Various delicacies had already been placed on the table.
One of the three people was the city lord of Scarlet Water City, Guan Feiyu.
The other two were envoys of the Gloomwater sect. They were late Divine King experts.
"Brother Feiyu, why has your face suddenly changed? And it seems like the protective formation of Scarlet Water City has been activated as well." The two envoys from the Gloomwater sect looked at the city lord, Guan Feiyu. They spoke rather politely.
This was because not only was Guan Feiyu an envoys of the Gloomwater sect like them, but one of the ancestors of the Guan family was an esteemed elder of the Youshui Sect.
As a result, the two envoys fawned over Guan Feiyu. They did not dare to offend him at all.
"It's fine. There's just a small problem. Please wait for a moment. I'll be right back." Guan Feiyu stood up and was about to leave.
Boom!
However, at this moment, a deafening rumble rang out. The entire city lord's estate shook.
The formations of the city lord's estate had suffered a powerful attack.
Guan Feiyu, who was about to leave, immediately paled. Killing intent filled his eyes as he said coldly, "I was just about to go out and find you, yet you actually came here yourself. Hmph, you're still so arrogant after killing the people of the city lord's estate. You're looking to die. "With a single movement, Guan Feiyu vanished.
At this moment, Jianchen stood outside the city lord's estate with his hands behind his back. He stood leisurely before the entrance of the estate. Behind him was the indifferent Xu Ran and the panicked Fang Jing 'er.
Around Jianchen, over a dozen armored soldiers rolled on the ground as they cried out in pain.
"Who are you? How dare you act so recklessly in my Scarlet Water City?" With a loud call, the city lord, Guan Feiyu, appeared. He hovered in the air with a surging presence.
The two other envoys of the Gloomwater sect appeared behind Guan Feiyu as well. They radiated with sharp presences, clearly showing that they were on Guan Feiyu's side.
"The young master of Scarlet Water City wants to capture this girl. Let me ask you, what crime has this girl committed? Why do you want to capture her?" Jianchen calmly asked.
"She's just a mere Heaven Saint Master. Let alone capturing her, so what if we kill her on the streets? As long as she's in Scarlet Water City, no one dares to go against the decisions of the city lord's estate. But you, on the other hand, not only have you killed the people of the city lord's estate, you've even maliciously attacked the estate. This is a crime punishable by death. You will be executed without mercy, "Guan Feiyu coldly replied. He stared fixedly at Jianchen with hawk-like eyes. Seeing how fearless Jianchen was, he dared not to be careless. He immediately formed seals with his hands and controlled the protective formations of the city.
Immediately, the protective formations around the city shone brightly. Powerful pulses of energy surged out like a tsunami. A tremendous pressure blanketed the surroundings, causing all the people in the city to pale in shock.
Guan Feiyu was cautious. Even though Jianchen had only displayed the cultivation of an early Divine King, which was much weaker than late Divine King Guan Feiyu, he still chose to use the power of the formations to injure Jianchen.
The protective formations of Scarlet Water City had been cast down by the ancestor of the Guan family who had broken through to the Primordial realm. With the formations in operation, they could even fend off Primordial realm experts.
Of course, these so-called Primordial realm experts were only early Infinite Primes.
