Wherever there were people, there would be fights. Between people and between forces, cultivation was always a law of the jungle. This was an unchanging law. It was the same in Saint Origin World and the Immortal World. No matter where one went, it would be the same.
Yan City wasn't as peaceful as it looked on the surface. The undercurrent was surging. Once there was a chance, the City Lord Mansion and Huang Family would kill each other. Jiang Chen knew that he would be involved in the battle between the two major powers.
However, Jiang Chen had experienced too many things in his life. He had seen all kinds of battles. The small Yan City wasn't on the same level as the battle between the eight families of Pure Land and the battle in Saint Origin Palace.
Yan Qingcheng's residence!
These two days, she had been feeling restless while cultivating. This was something that had never happened before. Yan Qingcheng knew that her mentality had changed. When she was cultivating, a silhouette would always appear in her mind, affecting her condition.
* Ai! *
Yan Qingcheng shook her head helplessly. She knew that she had fallen in love with Jiang Chen, but Jiang Chen didn't seem to be interested in her at all. This feeling made Yan Qingcheng very irritated, but there was also a kind of restlessness deep in her heart.
Yan Qingcheng was slender and elegant. She was standing on top of a big bluestone in the courtyard. It must be said that Yan Qingcheng was really beautiful. Even the word 'peerless' was not enough to describe her. She raised her head and looked at the full moon in the sky.
Dong! *
A knocking sound was heard outside the door, followed by a voice. "Sister Qingcheng."
"Come in."
Yan Qingcheng said faintly. She could already tell who the owner of the voice was.
* Creak! *
The door of the courtyard was pushed open. A handsome youth in blue walked in. He was handsome and had a high cultivation base. He was an extremely rare young talent.
"It seems like Big Brother Yuan has gained a lot from your adventure."
Yan Qingcheng smiled at Yuan Chengjun. She and Yuan Chengjun could be said to be childhood sweethearts. They grew up together. She was very clear about Yuan Chengjun's feelings for her. Unfortunately, she didn't have any feelings for Yuan Chengjun.
"Qingcheng, you look so beautiful when you smile."
Looking at Yan Qingcheng's smile, Yuan Chengjun felt intoxicated. Every time he saw Yan Qingcheng, his eyes would shine with radiance. He swore countless times in his heart that this was his woman. No one could take her away from him.
"Big Brother Yuan, why did you come to me so late at night?"
Yan Qingcheng retracted her smile in a flash and returned to her ice-cold state. The way Yuan Chengjun looked at her made her very uncomfortable. Especially now that she already had Jiang Chen in her heart, she actually felt a trace of disgust towards Yuan Chengjun.
Yan Qingcheng's sudden change stunned Yuan Chengjun. One must know that although Yan Qingcheng had always been indifferent to him, they had grown up together. She had never been so cold to him before.
Yuan Chengjun was not a fool. The change in Yan Qingcheng's attitude towards him was most likely because of that damned Jiang Chen.
"Sister Qingcheng, I heard that a genius alchemist named Jiang Chen has arrived in the manor. He is highly regarded by Sister Qingcheng and the City Lord."
Yuan Chengjun said.
"That's right. Big Brother Jiang's alchemy skills are amazing. Without him, who knows how to deal with my father's cold poison."
Yan Qingcheng said. At the mention of Jiang Chen, she couldn't help but reveal a smile on her face. This change in attitude made Yuan Chengjun's heart twitch fiercely. An invisible killing intent overflowed from his body.
"Sister Qingcheng, don't be fooled by this man's appearance. I think he has a close relationship with the Huang Family. If he's a spy sent by the Huang Family, I'm afraid it will be very disadvantageous to the City Lord's Mansion."
Yuan Chengjun said with a sneer.
"Impossible. Don't slander me, Big Brother Yuan. How could Big Brother Jiang have any relationship with the Huang Family? He came with the people of Han Village. He has never appeared in the City Lord's Mansion before."
Yan Qingcheng's words were filled with anger.
"Some things can't be said for sure. What you saw might not be true. I saw with my own eyes that Jiang Chen went out of the mansion late at night and met with Sixth Brother Huang in the alley. If he's normal, why would he go out alone in the middle of the night and meet with Sixth Brother Huang?"
Yuan Chengjun continued.
"What? This is impossible. How could Big Brother Jiang meet with Sixth Brother Huang late at night? "
Yan Qingcheng's expression slightly changed. She would never believe Yuan Chengjun's words.
"I saw it with my own eyes. How could I lie to you? If you don't believe me, you can go and question Jiang Chen now. He has already returned to the mansion."
Yuan Chengjun said.
Hearing this, Yan Qingcheng's expression turned extremely unsightly. She could tell from Yuan Chengjun's tone that he was not lying. In other words, Jiang Chen really went to meet with Sixth Brother Huang.
"Even so, it doesn't mean that Big Brother Jiang has any relationship with the Huang Family. Think about it, if Big Brother Jiang is really a member of the Huang Family, why would he save my father? My father is suffering from the cold poison, which is incomparably beneficial to the Huang Family. The Huang Family would be more than happy to save my father. Moreover, if the Huang Family has a talent like Big Brother Jiang, I'm afraid that their overall strength would surpass our Prefecture."
Yan Qingcheng once again denied the relationship between Jiang Chen and the Huang Family. What she said was reasonable. If Jiang Chen was really a member of the Huang Family, he definitely wouldn't save Yan Dongliu, because that would bring trouble to the Huang Family. One should know that if the Prefecture lost Yan Dongliu, the Huang Family would soon dominate Yan City.
"Sister Qingcheng, why do you trust an outsider so much? You and I are childhood sweethearts. Could it be that I'm less important than an outsider in your heart? What's so good about that brat? He's merely a late Human Immortal. Apart from alchemy, he can't be compared to me. "
There was a hint of anger in Yuan Chengjun's words, but more of it was unwillingness. He was the son of a dignified Heaven Immortal, a late Earth Immortal genius expert, and a childhood sweetheart of Yan Qingcheng. Despite his status, he was still inferior to a brat who had just arrived a few days ago. How could he feel good about this?
Yan Qingcheng's reaction made Yuan Chengjun feel extremely uncomfortable, which made him even more determined to get rid of Jiang Chen.
"Big Brother Yuan, if there's nothing else, please leave. I'm tired."
Yan Qingcheng turned her face away and ordered Yuan Chengjun to leave. She was already in a bad mood. Her mind was filled with Jiang Chen's figure. Although she didn't believe that Jiang Chen had anything to do with the Huang Family, she couldn't help but have a different thought when he went out to meet the higher-ups of the Huang Family in the middle of the night.
Yuan Chengjun's face darkened. His eyes looked like they were about to spurt out fire. Without saying another word, he turned and left.
Outside the courtyard, Yuan Chengjun's face was gloomy. "Qingcheng, in that case, don't blame me for being impolite. You'd rather fall in love with a late Human Immortal brat than fall in love with me. I'll let you know what regret is."
In the courtyard, Yan Qingcheng's eyes couldn't help looking at the direction of Jiang Chen's residence. Her eyes were a little sad. "Big Brother Jiang, I hope you won't let me down."
Yan Qingcheng wanted to find Jiang Chen and ask him about it, but she still trusted Jiang Chen very much. Although she had only known Jiang Chen for a few days and knew nothing about Jiang Chen's past, she still felt that Jiang Chen was a trustworthy person.
Early in the morning the next day, Han Cong ran to Jiang Chen's residence in a fluster.
"Ah Cong, what happened? Why are you so flustered? "
Jiang Chen frowned.
"Big Brother Jiang, something bad happened in Han Village."
Han Cong's face was full of nervousness.
"What happened? Tell me slowly. "
Jiang Chen asked. A man who had been through great storms would always be able to maintain the most basic calmness at all times. He wouldn't change his expression even if the sky collapsed in front of him.
"I don't know how Huang Village offended the Huang Family in Yan City. The Huang Family went to Han Village overnight and imprisoned everyone in the village."
Said Han Cong.
"What?"
Jiang Chen's facial expression changed slightly.
"According to the news from Han Village, the leader is Huang Xiong, the Sixth Master of the Huang Family. He specifically asked you to go to Han Village. If you don't show up, he will kill everyone in Han Village."
Han Cong said while wiping his sweat. He grew up in Han Village. His feelings for Han Village couldn't be compared to others. Now that the Han Village was in such a big crisis, he had already lost his mind.
"Who knows about this?"
Asked Jiang Chen.
"The person who sent the message specifically came to me. I'm the only one who knows."
Said Han Cong.
"It seems like I'm their target. Huang Xiong, you want to deal with me, but you used the method that I hate the most. In that case, don't blame me for being impolite."
Jiang Chen's face darkened. A surge of killing intent overflowed from his body like a tide. The temperature of the courtyard dropped abruptly. Han Cong couldn't help but shiver. Looking at the young man in front of him, he felt that when Jiang Chen was angry, the Heaven and Earth would burn.
"Big Brother Jiang, what should we do now?"
Asked Han Cong anxiously.
"Ah Cong, don't worry. I'll go to Han Village now. I guarantee that no one will be in danger."
Jiang Chen patted Han Cong's shoulder.
"Big Brother Jiang, the Huang Family is very powerful. I think we should inform the Eldest Miss. It's too dangerous for you to go alone."
Said Han Cong. Although he was confident in Jiang Chen's strength, the opponent was too strong. No matter how powerful Jiang Chen was, he was only a late Human Immortal. How could he deal with a late Earth Immortal expert?
"No need. I have my own way."
After saying that, Jiang Chen walked out of the courtyard with big steps.
"Big Brother Jiang, I'll go with you."
Han Cong followed.
"Let's go."
Jiang Chen grabbed Han Cong's shoulder. Very quickly, they arrived at the gate of the Prefecture.
"So fast."
Han Cong was shocked. Jiang Chen's speed was too fast. It was several times faster than the cheetah that sent Han Changling back to the Prefecture a few days ago. At this speed, it would take them at most two hours to reach Han Village.
