51: Let's meet late at night!
Even the Ye family would become a target for everyone in the North Continent because of this Demonic Cultivator incident!
"Although I don't know how you discovered Ye Wentian's collusion with Demonic Cultivators, your methods are quite good!"
"Exactly. The show is over. What do you plan to do next, Wang Li? The Tianqi Sect isn't that easy to deal with!"
Chen Xian said with a half-smile, "Who said the show is over?"
"Hmm?"
He pointed at Ye Wentian's figure in the light screen and said with a cold laugh, "He's just an appetizer. The real main course is still to come!"
"By the way, can you do something for me?"
Li Yu immediately burst out laughing upon hearing this.
"Having the current Princess do things for you—you sure have a lot of nerve. Tell me first, and I might consider it!"
"If you won't do it, then forget it!"
Chen Xian turned to leave but was grabbed by Li Yu.
"Does a girl not need some Face!"
If anyone familiar with Li Yu saw this scene, they would be dumbfounded.
Because they had never seen the cold-blooded and heartless Princess being toyed with like this!
"Fine, tell me, what do you want to do?"
"Tell your subordinates to spread the word with great fanfare that I will be meeting General Chen Buyu at the Jubei Marquiss Residence tonight!"
"A city-wide announcement?"
Chen Xian nodded.
"My only requirement is that your people don't get caught!"
Li Yu sneered: "Then you underestimate my people too much. If they are caught, they will end their own lives!"
"Once it's done, remember to come and watch the show at the hour of Hai tonight!"
After Chen Xian finished speaking, he left with Zhou Duoer and Da Huang.
Li Yu watched his departing back.
She murmured to herself, "Tsk, what on earth is this man trying to do!"
"Master, he wants to attract everyone's attention!"
Li Yu rolled her eyes.
"Nonsense, do you think I don't know that?"
"I'm just wondering how he will escape Wang Li's constraints. Chen Buyu's status alone is still not enough in Jubei City!"
Usually exceptionally brilliant, she felt this sense of the unknown—unable to see through someone's heart—for the first time.
And Li Yu found this feeling quite novel.
For the entire afternoon.
All sorts of rumors about Chen Xian spread through Jubei City!
"Does Chen Xian want to have a showdown with General Chen Buyu?"
"Eighty percent chance that Ye Wentian was his inside man. Now that the inside man is caught, he wants to Face them head-on!"
"He was wanted before; he must be a Demonic Cultivator, trying to take back everything that belongs to him!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, Demonic Cultivators are rebellious and should be executed. Let's go watch the excitement tonight!"
Ye Wentian colluded with Demonic Cultivators.
Chen Xian meets Chen Buyu late at night!
These two pieces of information.
Instantly ignited the attention of the entire city.
The City Lord's Mansion.
Chen Buyu was originally interrogating the incident of Ye Wentian's collusion with Demonic Cultivators.
Upon hearing this news, his expression immediately turned cold.
Could his Great Nephew really be a Demonic Cultivator?
Coming to have a showdown with him?
Just then.
A subordinate rushed in.
"General, someone asked me to give this to you!"
Chen Buyu looked at the note.
There was only one line of text on it: There will be great chaos tonight, secretly bring more people over!
Chen Buyu looked at this familiar handwriting.
Hiss!
He pondered for a moment.
"Pass the order down! Have the Eight Shence Guards come secretly, do not alert the enemy!"
"Yes!"
The subordinate quietly left.
Chen Buyu's Face was unreadable.
At the same time.
In Wang Li's residence.
The Faces of the four Elders of the Tianqi Sect were all quite unsightly.
"We originally thought to get rid of Chen Buyu tonight, but in this current situation where the whole city knows, what should we do?"
"If we make a move and get exposed, that would be bad!"
"Without the imperial court's permission, it's no small matter for Tianqi Sect Elders to intervene in the affairs of the Da Gan Dynasty!"
Although the Tianqi Sect's status in the Da Gan Dynasty was extraordinary.
They also didn't dare to challenge the Emperor's authority, because if they did, there would be only one outcome: death!
At this time, Wang Li suddenly spoke: "Four Elders, you were ordered to come secretly. You shouldn't have been exposed, right?"
"Naturally not. Although those thousand commoners saw us, they didn't even see our Faces clearly. They naturally won't remember!"
Wang Li said with a cruel smile: "Then it's easy to handle."
"In any case, Chen Buyu must die, and Chen Xian must also be eliminated. The plan for tonight remains unchanged, only the location is changed to the Jubei Marquiss Residence. As for the people..."
He said gloomily: "Just add Chen Xian to the list."
"Then we..."
"Elders, if you put on masks and pretend to be Demonic Cultivators, wouldn't that solve it!"
Wang Li's idea made the four Elders look at each other.
They were, after all, from a prestigious orthodox Sect.
They held Demonic Cultivators in contempt.
Now being asked to pretend to be Demonic Cultivators, their Faces were all quite unsightly.
Seeing them remain silent, Wang Li continued: "If both Chen Buyu and Chen Xian die, the Southern Continent Sects and clans will also feel guilty because of Ye Wentian's collusion with Demonic Cultivators. At that time, we will hold absolute authority over Jubei City!"
"Elder Zhou, I remember your grandson hasn't had his trial in the Sect yet!"
"Elder Wang, your daughter also seems to be looking for a place for her trial..."
With a few words from Wang Li, the Elders' expressions cleared up.
Right!
When they first came, it was because Wang Li was the Young Lord and had summoned them; out of respect for his status, they naturally wouldn't refuse.
But now, Wang Li was offering even higher stakes.
Tianqi Sect Disciples were always strictly required not to enter the secular world.
This also meant the Sect's resources were limited; the cake was only so big.
Now, if they could send their descendants into the imperial court through Wang Li.
Then wouldn't the sky be high for the birds to fly and the sea wide for the fish to leap?
Thinking of this, these people all became excited.
"Very well, we will pretend to be Demonic Cultivators tonight and kill them!"
...In the Yaochi Immortal Palace, when Zi Yun learned of this news.
Her brows furrowed tightly.
What on earth does that fellow Chen Xian want to do?
At noon, Ye Wentian's collusion with Demonic Cultivators and his being taken away by the Da Gan Dynasty for interrogation had greatly pleased Zi Yun!
But now, what was Chen Xian trying to do?
She didn't quite understand!
But she felt that this man must have his reasons for doing this.
Deep of night!
Even more people gathered at the gates of the Jubei City residence.
They were all looking around expectantly.
Although watching the excitement was dangerous, everyone wanted to see.
Chen Xian sat in the back garden and flicked his finger.
A huge light screen was projected into mid-air.
"Eh? A Projection Stone? Is this a real-time projection of the scene inside the Jubei Marquiss Residence?"
"What exactly is this Chen Xian trying to do?"
"Don't say it, this spendthrift can always come up with some new tricks!"
"Let's just watch and see what he's going to do!"
At this moment.
Chen Buyu walked alone to the Jubei Marquiss Residence.
"What are you all doing here?"
"This is a dangerous restricted area, leave quickly!"
"General Chen, will you bring Chen Xian to justice?"
