Chapter 1226 1226: A Man’s Innocence Is His Guilt
Ye Guichen is certainly very wealthy now.
The items he obtained from Su the Monster are enough to support an entire sect.
However, he felt a slight tinge of awkwardness inside.
By killing Su the Monster, didn't he just end up causing trouble for the Silver Spear Sect?
When the whole Silver Spear Sect thought Su the Monster had become a Foundation Establishment Expert, capable of completely suppressing the Long Sword Sect, yet he dared not show up, isn't that too ironic?
Ye Guichen shook his head, casting aside these tangled thoughts, and walked straight into the city.
The city was fairly prosperous, with streets lined with shops.
In this burst of running, Ye Guichen had covered thousands of miles.
He suddenly realized that sometimes being fast isn't necessarily a good thing.
But since history brought him here, he should feel at ease.
Later, when he's eaten and drunk enough, he'll have a good rest and then return to the Dan God Sect.
Thinking this way, Ye Guichen saw someone selling maps by the street, so he casually bought one.
Then he entered a restaurant.
After entering, Ye Guichen didn't bother hiding anything; he directly placed three little wolves on the table, tossed a Spirit Stone to the shopkeeper, and asked for plenty of fish and meat to be served.
The shopkeeper, seeing Ye Guichen's generous spending, was only too happy to oblige.
But upon noticing those three little wolves, he frowned, shook his head, and didn't say much.
Just as Ye Guichen entered the restaurant, another group of five or six people came in.
The five or six people split into two groups, and after entering the restaurant, rather than ordering food, they stared straight at Ye Guichen.
Ye Guichen looked up, and said to a burly man with a dark face: "What, is there a flower on my face?"
The dark-faced man didn't seem intimidated; he quickly stood up and reached to grab the three little wolves.
Ye Guichen picked up the chopsticks on the table and directly stabbed the man's hand onto the table.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
The dark-faced man erupted in screams of agony, trying to pull his hand back, but couldn't because of the severe pain.
His companions quickly drew their weapons, surrounding Ye Guichen.
The other group hesitated briefly, then grabbed their weapons and charged forward, shouting: "Kill this guy, we'll split the three beasts."
"Alright! Slaughter him, slaughter him!" The dark-faced man managed to pull his hand back, now bleeding profusely.
"Kid, hand over the little wolves, and we'll spare your life!" another middle-aged man said sinisterly.
Ye Guichen, acting as if no one was around, continued eating, and after some time, spat out a single word: "Scram."
"Damn, kill him!"
These people are Innate experts, far stronger than ordinary people.
Since they couldn't sense any terrifying aura from Ye Guichen, they naturally assumed he was an ordinary person.
As for the three beasts, they probably thought he had found them by accident.
It's said that wealth stirs hearts.
With the three little wolves right in front of them, they didn't want to waste time gauging Ye Guichen; they just wanted to snatch them quickly.
With a shout, the five or six people raised their weapons and charged at Ye Guichen.
The shopkeeper had already hidden on one side, watching from afar.
Seeing the three little wolves, the shopkeeper knew that Ye Guichen certainly wouldn't walk out of Fengming Town alive.
It seemed, indeed, that way.
Nevertheless, he sent a server outside to inform others.
Ye Guichen saw these people courting death, trying to rob his little wolves in public, a teasing smile curled on his lips; without even moving a hand, he directly used the Xuanming Prison Suppressing Technique.
In the next second, those five or six Innate experts turned into dried corpses on the spot, with no chance to resist.
For Ye Guichen now, killing these Innate experts was no different from squashing an ant.
Seeing the bizarre death of the Innate experts while Ye Guichen remained unfazed, the surrounding people erupted in chaos, retreating in fear.
"Is that young one a高手?"
"But we didn't even see him make a move; how did those people just die?"
"You're asking me, how would I know? My goodness, this is terrifying."
"Those three beasts seem hard to obtain."
"Make way, make way!"
At this moment, someone was shouting from outside.
People looked towards the voice and saw a team rushing in this direction.
Someone recognized the leader, and immediately their complexion changed: "It's the City Lord himself."
Quickly, a team of over thirty people arrived at the restaurant.
Those thirty-plus people were all Innate experts, and most had reached the pinnacle of the Innate, just one step away from the Qi Refining Realm.
The person leading the group was dressed in a tiger robe, and turned out to be a Qi Refiner.
Though only at the first layer of Qi Refinement, he was the strongest among the group.
He walked up to Ye Guichen, saw the dried corpses on the ground, frowned slightly, glanced twice at the three little wolves, and cupped his hands towards Ye Guichen: "Did you kill these people?"
Ye Guichen asked back: "Who are you?"
"I am Zhou Boseng, the Lord of Fengming City," Zhou Boseng stated proudly.
"Oh." Ye Guichen responded blandly, merely nodding: "Is there something you need?"
Zhou Boseng squinted his eyes: "As the Lord of Fengming City, I naturally have the responsibility to protect it. Someone died here; I can't just stand by. Friend, please come with me for an investigation."
Ye Guichen showed no intention of standing up: "What if I don't go back with you?"
"Haha, this is Fengming City, where Silver Spear Sect is, with Su Wannian as my grandmaster. You surely wouldn't want to take on the entire Silver Spear Sect, would you?" Zhou Boseng said boastfully.
Being the Lord of Fengming City, if he didn't have backup, how could he hold this position steadily?
Zhou Boseng wasn't afraid of anyone causing trouble here, nor worried that anyone could, given Silver Spear Sect backing him up.
Upon hearing this, Ye Guichen remembered the already dead Su the Monster, sighed deeply, wondering if there is a fated entanglement with Silver Spear Sect.
He didn't just run in the wrong direction, but ended up in Silver Spear Sect's territory.
Sighing, Ye Guichen stood up and picked up the three little wolves that were already burping from overeating: "City Lord Zhou, please lead the way!"
Zhou Boseng tugged at the corners of his mouth, seeing Ye Guichen complying. He naturally felt immensely pleased, waving his hand and said: "Bring the bodies back for identification!"
No one fitted shackles on Ye Guichen, but the City Lord's people closely surrounded him, preventing escape.
Many who wanted to snatch the three little wolves from Ye Guichen shook their heads in regret.
Since Zhou Boseng got involved, they probably wouldn't have anything to do.
Zhou Boseng will undoubtedly find a way to seize the three beasts, then present them to Silver Spear Sect, to curry favor with them.
Simultaneously, Zhou Boseng also sent people to Silver Spear Sect, asking them to quickly come down the mountain to retrieve the three little wolves.
The three little wolves had three heads, clearly a type of beast; when grown, their rank surely will be high.
While watching Ye Guichen's departing figure, Zhou Boseng was already contemplating how to obtain the three little wolves.
Directly kill him?
That would be the last resort.
Since no one knew Ye Guichen's identity, if he had powerful figures backing him, wouldn't killing him bring huge trouble?
The best method was to let Ye Guichen surrender them willingly.
Then reciprocate to some extent, and gradually, following the course.
Having figured things out, Zhou Boseng formulated a plan.
