However, from a different perspective, Xiao Chen could understand why Pei Yuanqing would do this. After all, the news had been kept very secret.
Right now, Pei Yuanqing had no idea what was going on here!
He still thought that he was just an ordinary Celestial King. Therefore, sending people to assassinate him was indeed the simplest and most effective method for Pei Yuanqing.
"Bai Ye, capture them alive. Don't alarm anyone." Xiao Chen sent a voice transmission to Bai Ye. These two fellows were the living evidence that Pei Yuanqing had sent to him.
"Understood, Master!" Bai Ye immediately accepted the order.
At this moment, the two people sent by Pei Yuanqing had already sneaked into the courtyard. Looking at Xiao Chen, who didn't seem to notice anything unusual, their eyes flashed coldly, and they were about to make a move.
However, in the next moment, the two fellows were horrified to find that they were frozen on the spot and couldn't do anything.
Then, they saw Xiao Chen stand up, open his eyes, and look at the two of them.
"You, how did you sense it?" The two of them were horrified.
"Hehe, this doesn't seem to be something you should worry about. It seems that Pei Yuanqing really wants to kill me. He just came back in the day, and he can't help but make a move at night." Xiao Chen sneered.
"We don't know what you're talking about." The two fellows' faces changed, but they immediately pretended to be confused.
"You don't understand? It's okay! "Xiao Chen smiled.
Just as he was about to ask Bai Ye to take the two fellows away, a shocking scene happened. The two fellows suddenly bled from their seven orifices and died immediately.
"Damn it! They actually committed suicide? "Looking at the two corpses, Xiao Chen's eyes flashed with coldness.
Bai Ye said in horror, "Master, it's all my fault. I didn't expect them to be so ruthless to bury such a poison in their bodies."
"Forget it, it's not your fault. We just didn't consider it thoroughly enough. Since the Pei Family dared to do this, they probably have all kinds of backup plans. It's not unusual for them to commit suicide." Xiao Chen waved his hand, feeling a little depressed.
He really didn't expect these two fellows to commit suicide so decisively.
And it was already a corpse. Even if he took it out, he would not be able to bring any substantial trouble to Pei Yuanqing. Maybe he would even be blamed by the Pei family.
"I guess as soon as these two fellows died, Pei Yuanqing should have received the news. I'm afraid he won't act rashly for the time being." Xiao Chen speculated.
That was indeed the case. The moment these two fellows committed suicide, Pei Yuanqing had already sensed it through a special method. His expression turned ugly.
"Damn it. Could it be that Hong Hua and the others are still hiding around Xiao Chen to protect him in secret?" Pei Yuanqing roared angrily.
Before they took action, they had investigated very clearly. Hong Hua and the others were all in their own residences. That was why they sent people to assassinate Xiao Chen.
"Young Master, we should have thought of this earlier. Xiao Chen has suddenly returned. Hong Hua and the others have come out to support him. They must know that we won't give up so easily. So, it's only right to send people to protect him in secret." An old servant beside Pei Yuanqing immediately said.
"Anyway, this kid has returned. Sooner or later, we can easily find an opportunity to get rid of him.
Moreover, he doesn't have any evidence to prove that Young Master did anything bad to him back then. So, in fact, Young Master doesn't need to worry at all. That kid won't dare to say it easily. Even if he says it, there's no evidence. What can Hong Hua and the others do? "
"Now that they've been exposed, it's not suitable to act again in a short period of time. It's useless even if they have two corpses. Young Master, it's better to wait patiently. When the Elder Ancestor comes out of seclusion next time, he can kill all these annoying fellows in one go!"
A cold light flashed in Pei Yuanqing's eyes. Then, he glanced at the old servant and nodded. "Alright, those old fellows won't dare to say anything before there's any evidence. Let's let this little thing live for a few more days."
"Yes, Young Master, don't worry anymore. Before the Elder Ancestor went into seclusion, he said that the next time he comes out, he hopes to see Young Master's cultivation improve a little. Young Master, you don't have to worry about these nobodies. "The old servant said fawningly.
"Well, make the arrangements. I will go and cultivate." Pei Yuanqing said unhappily.
Since Pei Yuanqing had decided not to do anything to Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen waited for a few more days. He understood Pei Yuanqing's intention. He didn't wait in the South Dingyuan City any longer.
He had wanted to go back to the Central Imperial Universe for a long time. If it weren't for the inexplicable incident at the South Dingyuan City, he would have gone back to the Central Imperial Universe.
On the day he came back, he would have gone back to the Central Imperial Universe.
Now that he knew that Pei Yuanqing wouldn't do anything to him for the time being, Xiao Chen didn't have to wait any longer. He bid farewell to Hong Hua and the others and left the South Dingyuan City for the Immortal Universe.
After the teleportation, Chen Hao shouted at the top of his lungs, "Ah, what a familiar smell. This is the smell of home …"
"…" Xiao Chen and the others glared at him, speechless.
"Boss, I want to go back and have a look. I have been in the South Dingyuan City for years and then went to the Land of Exiles. My father doesn't know about me yet," Chen Hao said.
Xiao Chen looked at Chen Hao in surprise. If he remembered correctly, Chen Hao and Chen Jian did not seem to have a good relationship with each other. But now, it seemed that Chen Hao had changed his mind. This was naturally a good thing, and Xiao Chen would not stop him.
"Sure. Contact me or Brother Wen Xiu if you need anything." Xiao Chen nodded.
"Let's go!" Chen Hao waved his hand and left.
"Shall we go back to the Southern Immortal Sect as well?" Xiao Chen looked at Wen Xiu and Zang Qing.
Naturally, the two of them had no objection.
The South Dingyuan City was a base in the Immortal Universe. They could teleport to any place in the Immortal Universe.
Returning to the Southern Immortal Sect was just a matter of teleportation.
Not much had changed in the Southern Immortal Sect.
Though many changes had taken place in the South Dingyuan City over the past two hundred years, for the Immortal Universe, two hundred years was nothing.
What surprised Xiao Chen was that Patriarch Zhang and Ghost were not here.
After asking the other elders in the sect, he found out that Elder Zhang and Old Ghost had both gone out to comprehend the Dao.
Judging from the reaction of other patriarchs, it seemed that nobody knew about Xiao Chen and Wen Xiu at the South Dingyuan City.
