50: No need to lift a finger!

Chen Xian believed that as long as Chen Buyu died, no one in Jubei City would be a match for Wang Li.

In the imperial court, all it would take was for those Tianqi Sect Elders, who were the Masters of the princes, to speak up.

This place would instantly become Wang Li's main battlefield.

Leaving aside what would happen to the commoners of Jubei City, he himself certainly wouldn't be able to stay here anymore.

Thinking of this, Chen Xian smacked his lips.

He absolutely could not let this happen!

He continued to look down at the information.

[Daily Intelligence 2: Eight Golden Core Stage Demon Generals are gathering tonight, preparing to infiltrate Jubei City and capture the Host!]

Holy crap!

Chen Xian's right eyelid twitched.

Eight Golden Core Stage Demon Generals!

These Demon Cultivators really think too highly of him!

This sudden escalation was so massive that a chill rushed straight from the soles of his feet to his head.

Last night, he was still excited about being able to defeat a Foundation Establishment Stage Demon Cultivator.

As it turned out, the enemies updated their strength even faster, jumping straight to the Golden Core Stage.

If things continued to change like this...

He would definitely be dead meat!

No, he had to find a way.

Neither he nor Chen Buyu could die!

Chen Xian continued to look at the intelligence below.

[Daily Intelligence 3: The Estate Guarding Grand Array of the Jubei Marquiss Residence has completely failed today. Activating it requires one hundred thousand Spirit Stones!]

A Estate Guarding Grand Array?

Chen Xian was not unfamiliar with this; in his impression, any important building or city in this world would have a defensive Formation.

Just in case of emergencies!

The Marquis Jubeis Residence was the number one residence in Jubei City!

Even the City Lord's Mansion could not be compared to it.

So it wasn't strange for it to have a Estate Guarding Grand Array.

The three pieces of intelligence made Chen Xian frown deeply.

Two concerned his life, and one seemed insignificant.

What should he do!

However, just a few seconds later.

Chen Xian suddenly slapped his forehead!

Got it!

...The sun rose high in the sky!

The number of people on the streets of Jubei City increased slightly.

With no Demon Cultivators causing trouble, and given that this was one of the top populous cities!

It was impossible to have no one on the streets at all.

"Have you heard? The thousand people who disappeared from our place last night have returned!"

"I heard. They were captured by Demon Cultivators, but were released by a masked Sword Cultivator."

"I heard General Chen is already investigating this matter thoroughly and will definitely give us commoners an explanation!"

"Sigh, the world is declining. Back when the Marquis of Jubei was still here, how majestic our Jubei City was! Whether it was Demon Cultivators or Yao Beasts, as long as they dared to come, he would ensure they never returned!"

"Alas, we can't go back to the past. Now Jubei City is truly like an old lady celebrating the New Year—each year is worse than the last!"

On the street, everyone was discussing fervently.

As for Chen Xian, he was wearing a mask and walking on the street with Da Huang, listening to these commoners boast.

He even saw countless commoners kneeling at the entrance of the Marquis Jubeis Residence.

He took a closer look.

The auras on these people were none other than those from last night.

"Marquis of Jubei, it must have been your spirit manifesting last night that saved us!"

"Back then, our ancestors followed you here to reclaim wasteland, build the city, and settle the fields. Now that you protect us, your subjects, we have no way to repay you!"

Seeing this scene, Chen Xian was somewhat moved.

He didn't expect his Cheap Old Father's influence in the city to be so profound!

He was both moved and relieved!

Moved that these commoners had not forgotten his father's contributions.

Relieved that he had saved them.

Otherwise, even though he was no longer that useless person from the original body, carrying the title of the Heir of the Marquis of Jubei still made him feel somewhat guilty.

This action had, in a way, repaid the favor to this Cheap Old Father!

Chen Xian leisurely led Da Huang past the area.

Straight to the Black Market!

Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion!

Seeing Chen Xian arrive, Li Yu asked curiously, "Did you do it last night?"

"Which matter are you talking about?"

"Saving a thousand commoners from over a thousand Demon Cultivators!"

Chen Xian sneered: "Do you think I have that kind of ability?"

"Although I really want to believe you did it, it seems you indeed are unlikely to have!"

Li Yu sized up Chen Xian from top to bottom.

She always felt that this matter was related to Chen Xian.

But Chen Xian was only at the Qi Refining Fifth Layer. Setting aside whether he could even survive the Demon Cultivators, let alone saving a thousand commoners!

Especially since she had checked through her own channels and found that Chen Buyu hadn't even left the city last night, and everything in the city remained unchanged.

Who could this person be who saved a thousand people?

Seeing that Chen Xian wouldn't talk, Li Yu asked somewhat gloomily, "Didn't you say you would break the deadlock? It's been a whole day, why is there still no movement?"

Chen Xian sneered and said, "Who said breaking the deadlock requires me to do it personally?"

"Besides, I think it's more interesting to watch from your place!"

"Hmm?"

Just then, an old man from the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion ran hurriedly to Li Yu.

"Master, nearly a thousand light screens in Jubei City have been activated almost simultaneously. Someone has placed a shadow-recording stone on them!"

Li Yu narrowed her eyes.

"This Jubei City is getting more and more interesting. Playing tricks... bring the projection over, I want to see what this person is going to show!"

"Yes!"

In the backyard.

Li Yu and Chen Xian looked at the light screen in front of them.

This was a unique function of Projection Stones; as long as they were powered by Spirit Stones, they could project certain special images.

And this required a shadow-recording stone to cooperate.

In Chen Xian's eyes, one was a DVD player and the other was the principle of a disc!

On the light screen, the conversation between Ye Wentian and the Demon Cultivator was currently playing.

"You just need to open the barrier in the inner city and let us in..."

"I..."

The conversation between the two was clearly presented before the eyes of everyone in Jubei City.

At this moment, Ye Wentian's face was incredibly pale, devoid of all color!

He never imagined that this scene would actually be recorded by someone.

And broadcast publicly throughout the city!

"Impossible, this is fake! This is fake!"

As Ye Wentian said those words, the Ye Family's station had already been surrounded by people.

Chen Buyu said coldly, "Young Master Ye, it's time for you to come with us!"

Regarding this, none of the Southern Continent's Sects or families said anything!

After all, this involved Demon Cultivators, and the content on the shadow-recording stone could not be faked!

The fact that Ye Wentian colluded with Demon Cultivators was already set in stone.

There was no escape!

Li Yu looked at Chen Xian's smug smile.

She subconsciously asked, "Did you do this?"

Chen Xian shrugged.

"It wasn't me. I don't know who recorded it either, but the technique was quite good."

Although he didn't admit it, his every word and action seemed to prove that this matter was related to him.

Li Yu's estimation of Chen Xian's methods also rose to a new level, and she looked at him with new eyes.

She had originally thought this man would confront them head-on or seek help from Chen Buyu.

But he didn't take either of those two paths.

Instead, he took a non-traditional approach and found another way.

He had taken down Ye Wentian with effortless ease!
