Border Dragon City.
When Ye Chen returned with Mengmeng, he saw that the city was heavily guarded and filled with killing intent.
Groups of Imperial Guards from the City Governor's Mansion were arresting people on the streets. All sorts of cries of injustice could be heard.
While Ye Chen was surprised, he heard a few ordinary people around him discussing secretly.
"I heard that a mysterious person killed many paragons from the high sects half an hour ago. Therefore, the City Governor's Mansion was enraged and sent the Imperial Guards to find that person."
"Not only that, I also heard that the seven high sects joined forces to pressure the Xiao clan and ordered them to find the real culprit within three days!"
"Tragic, how tragic. Anyone who wears a conical hat will be captured on the spot if they don't show their identity. Some people were killed the moment they resisted."
"What a sin. If that mysterious person wanted to kill someone, he should have done it further away. Why did he have to do it outside Border Dragon City? Now, many people have been implicated."
Ye Chen smiled calmly when he heard the discussion. He did not expect the Xiao clan to be the first to be nervous.
Seeing that many Imperial Guards passed by him without noticing him, he chuckled and returned to the Wuling Inn with the little girl.
As soon as he entered the inn, he realized that Star Sect's Fu Qiuchan and the rest were packing their luggage.
When she saw him, Fu Qingqing quickly walked up to him. There was no lack of worry in her beautiful eyes, "Brother Ye, where did you go? We've been looking for you for a long time. We thought something happened to you."
"Nothing. I was bored in the inn earlier, so I thought I might as well go for a walk." Ye Chen smiled in an undeniable manner. He then asked, "Are you guys leaving?"
"That's right!"
"Brother Ye, you have no idea. We just experienced a huge scene. It was too shocking!"
Fu Qingqing nodded her head and seemed to have recalled something. She instantly said with incomparable agitation, "Right outside Border Dragon City, there's a person wearing a bamboo hat who killed numerous supreme geniuses one after another. Among them were even Daozi of Dao Sect …"
"Qingqing!"
Fu Qiuchan interrupted her immediately. She glanced at Ye Chen coldly with a hint of suspicion in her beautiful eyes, "Where did you go earlier?"
Before she left, she had ordered a maidservant to keep an eye on Ye Chen. However, Ye Chen had left without anyone noticing.
She could not help but suspect Ye Chen after recalling that Fu Qingqing had guessed that the mysterious man who killed several supreme paragons was Ye Chen.
Ye Chen frowned slightly and said, "I told you that I'm bored, so I brought my daughter out for a walk."
Only then did Fu Qiuchan take a look at the cute little darling in his arms. The doubt on her face gradually disappeared, "We plan to go back. The situation in Border Dragon City is complicated now. If you don't want to die, leave as soon as possible!"
"Why are you wasting your breath on such a person? Let's go! " Yue Kun, who had packed his things, walked out with a few Star Sect disciples. He did not give Ye Chen a good look.
This time, the number one true disciple of the Star Sect had been killed, so they could no longer participate in the Xiao clan's birthday celebration. They had to return to the sect as soon as possible to explain the situation.
At this moment, an old voice suddenly exploded in everyone's ears, "There's no need for all of you to return!"
At the next moment!
An old man appeared before everyone like a ghost. The old man wore a purple robe with countless stars engraved on it. His aura was hidden and abnormally restrained. He was a Pseudo Emperor Stage cultivator.
Fu Qiuchan and the rest were shocked at first when they saw the person. Then, they knelt on one knee respectfully, "Greetings, Elder Phecda!"
The person who came was the elder of the Phecda Peak of the Star Sect.
Elder Phecda glanced at everyone calmly. His gaze paused on Ye Chen and Fu Qingqing for a few seconds before he said, "Get up!"
After everyone stood up, the elder said, "I'm here this time to investigate Shang Xingchen's death on the orders of the sect!"
Fu Qiuchan and the rest were shocked. Yue Kun could not help but ask, "Elder Phecda, does that mean we have to stay in Border Dragon City to cooperate with you?"
"You're not the only one. The other forces are doing the same!"
Elder Tian Ji's expression was extremely dignified, "This time, all the people from the seven high sects, including my Star Sect, have come. This time, even if we have to turn the entire Kuocang Mountain upside down, we have to find that thief!"
What? People from the seven high sects have come?
Hearing that, Fu Qiuchan and the rest felt their scalps go numb, and their hearts trembled. Clearly, this matter had blown up. The anger of the seven high sects was enough to shake the entire Kunlun Ruins.
What they did not notice was a hint of coldness flashing through the depths of Ye Chen's calm eyes.
A few seconds later, Fu Qiuchan mustered up the courage to ask, "Elder Phecda, are we going to attend the Xiao clan's birthday celebration?"
"Why not?!
We can ask the Xiao clan for an explanation! "
Elder Phecda smirked coldly. He looked at Ye Chen and Fu Qingqing this time, "Who are these two?"
"Elder, Qingqing is my sister. I want to bring her to our Star Sect this time," Fu Qiuchan explained hurriedly.
Just when she was about to introduce Ye Chen, Yue Kun pointed at him and said, "Elder, we met this brat on the way here. He insisted on coming to Border Dragon City with us. He said he wanted to see the world."
"Nonsense!"
Elder Phecda immediately reprimanded, "Since he's not a member of our Star Sect, why are you so close to him? Don't forget your identity as a disciple of a great sect! "
Yue Kun looked at Ye Chen in a mocking manner, "Ye, did you hear that? Scram now. Don't make things difficult for yourself! "
"I'll take my leave then!"
Ye Chen smiled lightly and left the Wuling Inn with the little girl in his arms. Fu Qingqing seemed to want to say something when she saw that, but Fu Qiuchan glared at her fiercely.
Fu Qiuchan watched Ye Chen leave and secretly shook her head, "Don't blame me for being too cold. The difference between you and us is just too great.
"It's good that you left, lest you have any ill intentions towards Qingqing. Moreover, Border Dragon City is filled with killing intent now. If you continue to stay, you'll only die for nothing."
…
At the same time, in the City Governor's Mansion.
The City Governor of Border Dragon City, Nie Yuan, looked at the old man in front of him from a close distance and narrowed his eyes, "Are you sure that person was chased out by the Star Sect?"
"City Governor, this subordinate dares to guarantee it with my life!" The old man placed his head on the ground and said with absolute certainty.
"Looks like this kid isn't from the high sect. Furthermore, he came alone, so his background shouldn't be deep."
Nie Yuan slowly stood up and opened the mechanism on the wall, revealing a small shrine. There was a palm-sized coffin in the shrine, and there was a handful of hair and ashes in the coffin.
"Feng 'er, you died when you were only five years old. Although I secretly hired someone from the Ghoul Sect to refine you into a little ghost and worship you in the shrine, you've been quite lonely for so many years!"
Nie Yuan looked at the shrine carefully, and a trace of viciousness flashed across his face, "I recently discovered a little girl with intelligence. If I refine her into a little ghost, she can accompany you to relieve your tiredness!"
