Border Dragon City led to the northern city.
Ye Chen carried the little girl and walked toward the Xiao residence. Along the way, he saw many people from the other ancient families, such as the Duan family, the Lin family, the Huang family, and so on.
"Come, the more the better!" There was a hint of coldness in the depths of Ye Chen's calm eyes.
The reason why he did not kill his way into the Xiao residence immediately was because he wanted to use the opportunity of the Xiao family's birthday celebration to lure the people from the other four ancient families over. This way, he would not have to scare the other ancient families into hiding after destroying the Xiao family.
Just as he arrived at the northern city entrance, the city gates were suddenly closed. A figure descended from the sky and landed not far away from him.
It was the City Governor of Border Dragon City, Nie Yuan. After making up his mind, he followed the old man's spies and chased Ye Chen all the way here.
Nie Yuan lifted his head to look at Ye Chen with a grim expression, "Brat, give me the girl in your hand and I'll leave your corpse intact!"
"Leave my corpse intact?"
Ye Chen's gaze turned cold, "City Governor Nie, there's no enmity between us, right? Why are you doing this?"
"Boom …"
Nie Yuan did not say anything else. He moved in a flash after scoffing coldly and grabbed at Ye Chen immediately. He had already made up his mind. There were many people in Border Dragon City now, so he could take this opportunity to kill Ye Chen.
"You're courting death!"
Ye Chen did not move at all. Just when he was about to get close to him, he suddenly grabbed his neck and lifted him into the air, "I have to say, you're very unlucky!"
"W-Who are you?" Nie Yuan's eyes widened, and his face was filled with shock.
He was a peak martial venerable. Even the ordinary disciples of the three sects and four groups were no match for him. Yet, he could not resist at all.
His heart sank completely. He finally realized that Ye Chen was not as simple as he thought.
Ye Chen pressed his palm on the top of his head and performed the Soul Searching Tactic forcefully. He smiled coldly a few seconds later, "It's fine if you're raising a little ghost, but you're actually targeting my daughter!"
A head flew into the air as soon as he said that.
Ye Chen waved his sleeve. A blood-colored flag on the city gate floated over and wrapped the head.
"I'm lacking a birthday gift for the Xiao family. Your head is perfect!" Ye Chen entered the northern city with the head.
…
In the center of North City.
In an extremely luxurious and majestic mansion, at this moment, there were people surging about, and it was extremely lively. Countless experts from all over had gathered here at this moment.
The clamor, the sound of firecrackers, and the congratulatory voices gathered together and soared into the sky, spreading far and wide, almost enveloping the entire Border Dragon City.
Almost everyone in Border Dragon City, from the City Lord's Manor to the peddlers and servants, knew that today was the two hundredth birthday of Xiao clan's old ancestor!
As the master of Border Dragon City, the Xiao clan had been in charge of Border Dragon City for close to a thousand years. In addition, as one of the 12 ancient clans, they had long shaken the Kunlun Ruins. Even the one mountain, two religions, three sects, and four groups had to give them face and send people to congratulate them on their birthday.
On a huge square in the mansion.
There were huge seats, and at that moment, the important figures of the sects in the Kunlun Ruins were sitting there. Meanwhile, there were still countless people bringing birthday gifts to the main entrance.
"The birthday banquet has already begun. Why hasn't the Xiao clan's patriarch come out yet? Could it be that he doesn't dare to show himself because the supreme paragons of the seven high sects were killed? "
"Heh, according to the news I received, the Xiao clan's patriarch seemed to have been severely injured a few days ago. I wonder why he suddenly wants to hold a 200th birthday celebration!"
"What? The Xiao clan's patriarch is injured? That's impossible. After all, he's an Emperor Stage old monster. His strength isn't low even in the seven high sects. "
In the huge square, countless gazes were communicating with each other. From time to time, they would secretly size up the huge seats that belonged to the ten high sects. Whispers spread out.
In the face of such chaotic voices, the expressions of the people from the ten high sects were all cold, and no one could tell what they were thinking.
"Boom …"
Amidst the clamor, an earth-shaking bell suddenly rang out. The entire square immediately quietened down, and numerous gazes simultaneously looked at the seats that belonged to the Xiao clan.
Under everyone's gaze, an old voice slowly appeared. It was the Xiao clan's patriarch, Xiao Wuming.
The Xiao clan's patriarch swept his gaze across the crowd, and a faint smile appeared on his slightly aged face, "I would like to thank everyone for coming to my birthday celebration today!"
Following his words, many people in the square immediately stood up and cupped their hands in return, congratulating him repeatedly. Everyone knew that the Xiao clan's patriarch was the leader of the five ancient clans. Even the ten high sects had sent people over.
In the crowd, Luo Shuiyao stared coldly at the Xiao clan's patriarch, "Didn't third grandpa say that this old thing is seriously injured? Why doesn't he look injured at all? "
"Maybe it's fake news!"
Luo Tianya, who was beside her, secretly frowned. For some reason, he felt that the Xiao clan's patriarch gave him an extremely uneasy feeling.
After a round of pleasantries, an old man suddenly stood up from the exclusive throne of the ten high sects and said, "Brother Xiao, my Spirit Talisman Sect's Tuoba Long died outside your Border Dragon City. Don't you have to give me an explanation?"
"It's the hall master of the Spirit Talisman Sect's Law Hall!"
Everyone could not help but be shocked when they saw the old man's face.
Just as the Xiao clan's patriarch was about to speak, another person stood up and said, "And my Dao Sect's Dao Child, Zong Rui!"
"And my Ghoul Sect's young master, Jiu Ying!"
"And my Devil Sect's Pink Prince …"
"…"
In an instant, the representatives of the Star Sect, Spirit Talisman Sect, Dao Sect, Devil Sect, Ghoul Sect, and Witchcraft Sect all stood up to question.
Only the people from the Sword Sect and Corpse Sect remained silent, looking like they were watching a good show.
Seeing that the seven high sects had spoken at the same time, the other guests' expressions froze. They all held their breaths and did not dare to interrupt.
The Xiao clan's patriarch took a deep breath in and said with a faint smile, "Everyone, I've already ordered someone to investigate this matter. I'll definitely give you an explanation!"
"However, before that, I'd like to use this birthday celebration to announce a piece of news to everyone from the ten high sects and the various forces in the Kunlun Ruins!"
With that, he suddenly waved his hand, and a few people from the Xiao clan carried a huge iron cage over slowly.
Everyone could not help but look over. They saw three people in the iron cage. Their hands and feet were all shackled, and they accepted everyone's gazes with a wooden expression.
"What's this? People? Pitifully weak people! "
"Why is the Xiao clan's patriarch showing us this?"
In an instant, a commotion broke out on the huge plaza. Luo Shuiyao's pretty face changed, "Brother, why are they here?"
Luo Tianya's pupils constricted slightly as well. He realized that the three people in the iron cage were Yuan Qitai and the rest.
The three of them had boarded the ghost ship with them and were lucky enough to return to China. However, the three of them had disappeared later on.
He did not expect to see them here.
