”Something big has happened...”

”These three people are dead, all killed!”

”Oh my god, these are Young Master Xinyang’s men, who dares to provoke them? Let alone kill them, trouble has come, that kid is in big trouble!”

Some martial artists who knew the identity and background of these three people couldn’t help but discuss in surprise, all realizing that something big had happened in Linxian City, and it could no longer remain calm, because three of Young Master Xinyang’s men were killed by Ye Tianchen, and one was completely annihilated, which for those who knew the details, was a shocking event that would surely stir up a storm.

”Who is this Young Master Xinyang, what is his background?” At this time, a martial artist nearby who didn’t know the details couldn’t help but ask quietly.

”What? You don’t even know Young Master Xinyang?”

”So what if I don’t know?”

”Then you might deserve to die!”

”Don’t try to scare me, I’m not scared easily.”

Regarding the background of this Young Master Xinyang, and his depth and terror, many martial artists present had heard about it, however, some did not know just how powerful Young Master Xinyang was? Killing his men, would surely not end well, right? What kind of prestige and dominance is this?

”Let me mention three points, and you’ll be scared witless!” A martial artist who knew some details about Young Master Xinyang spoke to the bewildered martial artist.

”Really? Then go ahead and say it? Even the Heavenly King couldn’t scare me enough to wet myself!” The slightly skeptical martial artist said dismissively.

”First, Young Master Xinyang has Late Stage Martial Saint cultivation; second, he is the fiancé of the Wang family’s second young lady; and the third, which is astonishing to all lineages, is the rumor that Xinyang family ancestors have been praised by Immortals...”

With a thud!

The martial artist questioning Young Master Xinyang’s background sat on the ground, though not scared witless, it was even more serious than being scared witless, he had fainted, his face pale, with scattered Martial Arts True Qi, not only him, but many surrounding martial artists were also utterly shocked. Any of these points would be enough to scare countless martial artists, proving Young Master Xinyang’s strength and profound foundation. This time Ye Tianchen killed his three subordinates, it seems an unending battle is inevitable; such a person, with such a foundation, definitely cannot tolerate anyone touching his dignity, it’s clear that he is very strong, Ye Tianchen unwittingly provoked a big shot.

At that moment, Ye Tianchen and Xiao Ling walked out of the roast duck shop together, both feeling satisfied and full, not thinking much, believing those despicable bullies deserved to be dealt with harshly, it was only right and reasonable to kill them, what more was there to think?

”Hey, where are we going now?” Xiao Ling asked, looking at Ye Tianchen walking ahead.

”Go back, by now the old senior should have sold almost all the fish, right?” Ye Tianchen thought for a moment and said.

”Oh, it’s still very early, didn’t the old senior say? It won’t be till the afternoon around dusk that he’ll finish selling them; let’s go stroll around now, take a walk everywhere!” Xiao Ling said with a grin.

Ye Tianchen thought for a moment, it made sense, getting familiar with the environment in Linxian City was good, after all, this was the only market town in the Penglai Ancient Martial World where various information could be gathered. However, Ye Tianchen still had not found a way to gather information, and at the roast duck shop earlier, no martial artist was discussing much. It seems since Linxian City was controlled by the Wang family, those entering became extra cautious and careful, no one dared to speak recklessly, fearing the Wang family would find out and bring deadly disaster. So, Ye Tianchen still needed to find other ways to obtain some information.

Following Xiao Ling around, Ye Tianchen found that this little girl mainly wandered through streets filled with various snacks. She would want to eat this now and that later, as if she were an eternally famished ghost who could never be satisfied. Soon enough, Xiao Ling’s hands were filled with all sorts of snacks, which left Ye Tianchen a bit annoyed. He couldn’t help but say, ”I mean, you just ate so much roasted duck and drank a whole jar of wine, can you still eat more?”

”Even if I can’t eat more, that’s okay; I can pack it up!” Xiao Ling replied with a cute chuckle.

Ye Tianchen shook his head. He had no way to deal with this quirky little girl. Meanwhile, he kept extending his powerful Divine Thought, hoping to hear what nearby martial artists were discussing. Unfortunately, the conversations were insignificant. Of course, he also heard some rumors about Young Master Xinyang, but he didn’t pay much attention. It’s not that Ye Tianchen was arrogant, but if someone dared to provoke him, not to mention those shameless martial artists, even Young Master Xinyang himself would inevitably be slain.

At this time, the roasted duck shop was already empty. Many of the shops in towns within the Martial Arts World were run by ordinary people, and these individuals were powerless. However, there were surely some powerful martial artists backing them. Otherwise, when martial artists came to eat, drink, and take for free, they would have no recourse. This roasted duck shop was the most famous in Linxian City and had considerable influence backing it. But, this time, three of Young Master Xinyang’s men died in the roasted duck shop. Knowing Young Master Xinyang’s strength and background, the shop owner definitely wouldn’t let this go easily and wouldn’t spare his shop. Even if his backers intervened, they likely wouldn’t be a match for Young Master Xinyang. So, the roasted duck shop owner wisely closed the shop to avoid trouble since he had already made enough earnings in Linxian City over the years to last several generations.

”Who dares to kill members of the Xinyang family...” At that moment, standing before the three corpses was a boy of only nine years old, whose eyes revealed a hint of viciousness completely inconsistent with his age.

”I heard it was a young martial artist accompanied by a teenage girl,” hurriedly replied a martial artist beside him.

”Find them! We must find this pair of miscreants, chop off their heads in front of everyone, and hang them on Linxian City’s gates,” the nine-year-old declared viciously.

”Bo Qi Young Master, shouldn’t we wait for the older master to handle this? We’re afraid they might not be ordinary martial artists and could be very strong!” someone reminded.

”Strong? Stronger than the Xinyang family? Stronger than my brother? This is disgraceful! My brother is about to visit Linxian City to propose to the Wang family, and he sent us here to have fun first. Unexpectedly, three of his men were killed. Where does that leave the face of the Xinyang family? In a few days, my brother will arrive in Linxian City, and before he does, we must find and kill this pair, to show others that I, Xinyang Boqi, am not to be trifled with!” The nine-year-old Xinyang Boqi arrogantly and malignantly stated.

”Yes, Young Master!”

The martial artists standing behind Xinyang Boqi didn’t dare to defy his orders after hearing his words, hurriedly answering and dispersing into Linxian City to seek Ye Tianchen and Xiao Ling.

Meanwhile, Xiao Ling and Ye Tianchen had been wandering through Linxian City for a full four hours, almost covering half of the city except the specific locations in detail. At this point, Ye Tianchen didn’t want to accompany Xiao Ling anymore, as she not only bought food but also many other items along the way. She bought anything she liked, almost spending all of Ye Tianchen’s hundreds of gold coins, making the shop owners smile broadly, apparently having never encountered such an easily persuadable customer before.

”Hey, beautiful, we’ve pretty much explored the place; shouldn’t we head back?” Ye Tianchen glanced at Xiao Ling and asked.

”We haven’t gone north yet!” Xiao Ling said, rotating her big eyes.

”Isn’t there nothing in the north? We already asked the locals; the north is just ruins with nothing there, no need to go!” Ye Tianchen said decisively.

”Fine, we’ve explored enough anyway, we’ll come another time!” Xiao Ling chuckled.

”Next time, you go by yourself. I won’t be coming with you again...” Ye Tianchen said, a bead of sweat forming on his forehead.

Xiao Ling made a face at Ye Tianchen and joyfully ran forward, like a little elf, leaving Ye Tianchen to shake his head helplessly and follow. However, as Ye Tianchen caught up, an elder sitting on the ground nearby piqued his curiosity. This elder wasn’t selling anything but held an old looking map. What was the elder up to?

”Young Taoist, seeing that you have extraordinary cultivation and insight, why not try your luck with immortality in Linxian City?” the elder asked with a laugh as he noticed Ye Tianchen pausing.

Hearing the elder’s words, Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but be surprised before replying with a smile, ”Everyone knows that Linxian City belongs to the Wang family; what immortality could there be here? If there were, it would surely belong to the Wang family, wouldn’t it?”

”Haha, Young Taoist, you may not know, there is a place even the Wang family dares not venture easily, and that place...” the elder said with a mysterious smile. (To be continued.
