112: Control over all the prodigies!

After the protective shield held out for less than ten seconds...

...it finally shattered.

Sun Xiu hurriedly summoned a shield.

Only then did he barely manage to block that Sword Qi.

Boom!

However, despite this...

Sun Xiu was still sent flying out from the thirty-third floor!

He spun several times in mid-air before he was just barely able to stabilize himself.

Even so, Sun Xiu ended up in a pathetic state.

At that moment, a burst of laughter rang out.

"Hahahaha, Your Excellency has quite the skill. In Jubei City, only my household slave can block this strike of mine. Your Excellency can now be compared to my household slave!"

Chen Xian's words made the expressions of the other six scions of aristocratic families turn playful.

Only Sun Xiu's face was incredibly gloomy!

On the surface, Chen Xian's words seemed to be praising him, but in reality, he was comparing this Heir of the Sun Family to a household slave.

It was simply an insult to him.

"You're looking for death!"

Just as Sun Xiu was about to attack, Chen Xian laughed loudly.

"The one looking for death is you. You dared to lay a hand on the tomb of my late father, the former Marquis of Jubei. Today, I'll see just how many lives you have to walk out of this Jubei City!"

As Chen Xian spoke, his hand was already resting on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

Killing Intent erupted from his body.

"Wait! Wait!"

Tian Wuqi stood between the two.

"We are heading to the Shanhai Secret Realm today. If we exhaust ourselves here, wouldn't we miss out on the best Opportunity?"

"Brother Sun didn't do it on purpose just now. Shouldn't the Marquis of Jubei be lenient? After all, we are fellow officials serving the same court..."

Although he was trying to mediate...

...he was actually helping Sun Xiu.

After all, Sun Xiu was currently in the wrong, both logically and emotionally.

If Chen Xian were to give the call...

...not to mention how many of Invincible Chen's former subordinates were in Jubei City...

...even if just Chen Buyu showed up, they would have their hands full.

Although they had come here to provoke Chen Xian, what Sun Xiu had done indeed put them in the wrong instantly.

Therefore, the impact could not be allowed to spread.

Sun Xiu seemed to understand the meaning in Tian Wuqi's eyes.

He gave a cold snort.

And spoke no more.

However, just because he was silent didn't mean Chen Xian intended to be.

He looked down at Tian Wuqi from above.

"Who are you?"

The smile on Tian Wuqi's face froze.

He hurriedly said, "I am Tian Wuqi, the second son of the Prince of Qi! Greetings, Marquis of Jubei!"

Chen Xian gave a contemptuous sneer.

"You're not the Heir, not even a legitimate eldest son. What right do you have to speak here?"

These words were quite blunt.

And this sentence struck right at the heart of Tian Wuqi's insecurity.

It was precisely because of the gap in status that he flattered Sun Xiu so much.

Yet as soon as Chen Xian appeared, he pointed out the awkwardness of his status in one word.

This immediately filled Tian Wuqi's heart with rage.

Despite this, he gritted his teeth and said, "Is the Marquis of Jubei going to make enemies of our seven Princely Families as soon as he arrives?"

Chen Xian asked bluntly, "Can you represent the Families behind you?"

As soon as he said this...

...the faces of those watching the scene also became extremely unsightly.

None of them had expected that Chen Xian, who had been hiding away for a month...

...would have his combativeness fully charged the moment he emerged.

One of them had a cold expression.

"Chen Xian, we are all people of the Da Gan Dynasty. By saying this, where do you place the Dynasty's etiquette?"

"Speaking of etiquette!"

Chen Xian looked at the seven people before him with a half-smile.

"I am the Marquis of Jubei, personally enfeoffed by Your Majesty!"

"And I was the legitimate eldest son of my late father!"

When he said the words 'legitimate eldest son', Chen Xian gave Tian Wuqi a particularly meaningful look.

This caused Tian Wuqi's fists to clench in anger.

"So, when you see me, shouldn't you treat me with proper etiquette?"

"Pay your respects to the Marquis!"

After saying this...

Chen Xian actually sat down on a chair with great poise.

"State your identities one by one!"

"Otherwise, I will first petition the imperial court, stating that you intended to destroy my father's tomb, and secondly, that you do not recognize the status of the Marquis of Jubei, thereby disregarding the Emperor!"

*Hiss!*

Chen Xian was really pinning a massive label on them!

It left the group in a state of panic.

They could be disrespectful to Chen Xian!

But they didn't dare be disrespectful to the Emperor.

If Chen Xian were to submit such a report, even if the Emperor disliked Chen Xian, he would still punish them for their behavior!

At the thought of this...

One of the young men in white was the first to step forward.

"Zhu Fengtian, Heir to the Prince of Han!"

"Sun Xiu, Heir to the Prince of Han!"

"Tian Wuqi, second son of the Prince of Qi!"

"Gu Qingcheng, legitimate daughter of the Prince of Zhou!"

"Lin Gui, second son of the Prince of Liang!"

"An Rushan, second son of the Prince of Yue!"

"Zheng Yi, second daughter of the Prince of Zheng!"

"Greetings, Marquis of Jubei!"

Although they were all unwilling...

They still gritted their teeth and greeted Chen Xian.

As for Chen Xian, seeing this, a smug smile appeared on his face.

"I just love how you can't stand me, yet you can't get rid of me!"

"You..."

Chen Xian sat on the chair.

He said indifferently, "Didn't you say we're going to the Shanhai Secret Realm?"

He pointed at Sun Xiu.

"Go. Go to the Jubei Marquiss Residence and tell my household slave that he can accompany me to the Shanhai Secret Realm."

"You... you're making me deliver a message?"

Sun Xiu simply couldn't believe it!

Chen Xian sneered and said, "What? As the Marquis of Jubei, I hold the same rank as your father. You are merely an Heir; am I not worthy of ordering you around?"

"Some people aren't even legitimate eldest sons; even if they wanted to be ordered around, they wouldn't get the chance."

"Tian Wuqi, don't you agree?"

Tian Wuqi's heart was bleeding at this moment.

He now deeply regretted stepping forward to mediate and taking Sun Xiu's side!

It was truly too late for regrets!

"If you don't go, I'll call my second uncle over and let him have a chat with you about how you 'accidentally' tried to destroy my father's tomb."

Chen Xian's words were a direct threat.

Chen Buyu was a fierce general of the imperial court!

Especially his Divine Strategy Army; even those Princes of different surnames wouldn't dare oppose them.

Sun Xiu had no choice but to sullenly disembark from the dragon boat and head straight for the Jubei Marquiss Residence.

At this time, a White Cat also appeared on Chen Xian's shoulder.

The White Cat was none other than the Moon Demon.

"Being so high-profile makes you an easy target!"

Chen Xian sneered.

"As if they wouldn't cause trouble if I were low-profile. Since they want to cause trouble anyway, why shouldn't I be a bit more high-profile!"

The Moon Demon thought about it.

Chen Xian's words weren't entirely without reason.

Inside Jubei City.

Chen Xian's act of ordering Sun Xiu around had long been witnessed by the city's commoners.

Although they didn't think much of Chen Xian at first, Sun Xiu and the others had been running amok in Jubei City recently!

They had done all sorts of evil deeds.

Seeing Chen Xian publicly order Sun Xiu around as soon as he appeared...

Everyone was momentarily thrilled.

"Even though Chen Xian was a waste before, he's at least vented some frustration for us commoners of Jubei City!"

"If the Marquis of Jubei really has such prestige, then won't our Jubei City be as peaceful as it was before!"

Just then, a voice came from the dragon boat.

"Who dares to use a sword here?"
