30: Sold out instantly!

Li Yu couldn't help but laugh as she watched Chen Xian give a thumbs up.

"I don't have time to joke with you here. Jubei City is in chaos right now, and it's too dangerous here. Come back to the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion with me!"

"How is it in chaos?"

"Don't you know? A Demonic Cultivator kidnapped Lin Xiangzhong from the Pill Refining Pavilion. By the time everyone found him, he was already severely injured!"

"However, Lin Xiangzhong and the Pill Refining Pavilion have issued an announcement: anyone who kills the Demonic Cultivator will receive a reward from the Pill Refining Pavilion..."

Li Yu held up two fingers.

"Starting with two qi gathering pills!"

"Right now, I'm afraid every immortal cultivator in Jubei City is searching for that Demonic Cultivator!"

"It's a complete mess outside right now; it's safer to go to the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion!"

It wasn't that Li Yu was afraid for her own safety.

Rather, she was worried that Chen Xian would run into danger; after all, he was already a hated figure in Jubei City.

Especially now that she was treating him as her Dao Companion.

This would inevitably make Chen Xian a thorn in the side of many!

She had to be on guard against this!

Hearing this, Chen Xian nodded thoughtfully.

"Alright then, let's go!"

He didn't want to be framed or have groundless charges leveled against him!

"We're leaving!"

Zhou Duoer looked at the woman before her with curiosity.

Li Yu was actually sizing her up as well!

"Chen Xian, I really underestimated how low you could go. How could you lay a hand on such a young child?"

Chen Xian: "..."

"No, it's not like that..."

Chen Xian hesitated, his words trailing off.

He couldn't very well reveal the secret Zhou Duoer carried.

After all, he didn't know Li Yu's true background yet, and even if he did, he still couldn't speak of Zhou Duoer's secret.

Otherwise, Zhou Duoer might lose her Divine Emperor Bloodline in an instant!

"Not what?"

Li Yu looked at Chen Xian with a hint of disdain.

Although this man had shown a mysterious side, he also seemed like a leopard that couldn't change its spots.

He really was hard to read!

The three people and the dog walked along the street, but before they could reach the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion in the black market...

...a man in black robes stood before them.

Chen Xian's heart instinctively tightened.

Crap, could it be the Demonic Cultivator found out I took all the pills from the Pill Refining Pavilion?

At this moment, Li Yu's expression turned even more grim.

Because she saw a silver jade pendant hanging at the man's waist; under the moonlight, the character "Wang" on the pendant shimmered!

"Get lost!"

Li Yu was the first to snap coldly.

"Young Miss, I am not here for you today; I am here for him!"

With just that one sentence...

...Chen Xian understood that this man was not a Demonic Cultivator. Instead, he seemed like someone from Li Yu's family or sent by her betrothed.

He was here specifically to target him!

"I don't care who you're looking for!"

Li Yu said coldly, "My people are not for Wang Li to order around!"

"But our Young Master said he only wants his head."

The man said with a smile, "If the Young Miss interferes, I'm afraid..."

Before he could finish, he was sharply interrupted by Li Yu.

"You dare ignore my words? Who gave you such courage?"

"I did!"

From the darkness...

...a man dressed in luxurious robes slowly stepped out from the shadows.

However, he wore a mask on his face.

"Little sister, didn't you say you wanted to be with this man?"

"I must see where his value lies, shouldn't I?"

"If he can't even defeat Wang Li's subordinate today, then he is not worthy of being your husband!"

Li Yu gritted her teeth and shielded Chen Xian behind her.

"I'd like to see who dares to lay a finger on him today!"

With that, Li Yu's aura surged.

The atmosphere instantly became tense.

But at that moment, Chen Xian patted Li Yu's shoulder from behind.

"Ahem, I think I understand now."

He pointed at the black-robed man standing in front and said, "This person is a subordinate of your betrothed!"

Then he pointed at the masked man in luxurious robes standing to the side.

"And this one is your brother!"

"They both disapprove of us being together! So, they want to take me out today, right?"

Li Yu: "..."

This guy laid it out so clearly, what is he trying to do?

Despite her internal complaints, she instinctively nodded.

Chen Xian said seriously, "So, I just need to defeat this man in front of me, right?"

This time, he was asking the man in luxurious robes.

"Yes!"

The man in luxurious robes sneered, "Defeating him is far from enough, but at least for today, you will be allowed to live!"

"So, if I don't kill him, then I'm the one who dies, right?"

The man in luxurious robes nodded.

"Correct!"

"Big brother, Chen Xian..."

"Yuer, leave this to me!"

Chen Xian said seriously.

"You..."

It wasn't that Li Yu lacked confidence in Chen Xian, but the gap in their strength was simply too obvious!

Standing opposite them was Wang Li's confidant.

His strength had already reached the Qi Refining Seventh Layer!

What was Chen Xian's cultivation level?

Only the Qi Refining Third Layer!

A difference of four minor Realms.

The probability of Chen Xian turning the tables was practically zero!

But then, Chen Xian said with a smile, "I said, just leave it to me."

At the same time, he whispered in Li Yu's ear so only they could hear, "I will fulfill my obligation; don't you forget what you promised me!"

The deal between them was simply him acting as her shield.

In exchange, Li Yu would give him spirit ginseng grass.

Looking at it now, if Chen Xian continued to act like a coward...

...not only would he not get the spirit ginseng grass...

...but he had less than three days left before his life was over.

Of course, what Chen Xian really wanted to do was test his limits.

After all, he had just broken through to a new Realm; he felt like a hunter with a Gatling gun looking for prey.

He was itching to find someone to test his strength against!

Seeing Chen Xian step forward...

...Wang Li's confidant sneered and said, "Chen Xian, right? The Heir of the Marquis of Jubei? Back then, the Marquis of Jubei repeatedly opposed our master!"

"Today, I can send you down to join your father."

Chen Xian returned the sneer.

But he said coldly, "Oh? Then I have even more reason to kill you!"

"And why is that?"

Chen Xian didn't speak; in the next second, his figure abruptly vanished from where he stood.

"It's simple: anyone my father looked down upon couldn't possibly be a good person!"

By the time he finished the sentence...

...he was already standing behind Wang Li's confidant.

As the sword in Chen Xian's hand was slowly sheathed...

...Wang Li's confidant looked at the massive sword wound on his chest in disbelief.

"This... how is this possible!"

Thud!

He collapsed to the ground, his eyes wide in death!

An instant kill!

Whether it was Li Yu or the man in luxurious robes, they all gasped in shock at the sight!

They thought Chen Xian would surely lose.

They also thought he might put up a struggle.

But no one expected that this man would actually kill his opponent in an instant!
