54: I know why you want to die!
Compared to Wang Li's confusion,
When the others saw Chen Buyu and Chen Xian, they actually erupted in cheers!
Chen Buyu said sternly, "Demonic Cultivators intended to ambush us and disrupt Jubei City!"
"Now the Demonic Cultivators have been completely eradicated! We will continue to guard Jubei City, so please rest assured, everyone! We will restore a bright and just world to Jubei City!"
After Chen Buyu finished speaking, the crowd cheered and applauded even more wildly.
At this moment, a discordant voice came from within the crowd!
"Wait a minute!"
Wang Li walked out unwillingly.
"We just saw from the light screen that someone shouted that Chen Xian had betrayed the Demonic Cultivators. General Chen, Chen Xian, shouldn't you give us an explanation regarding Chen Xian's identity?"
Seeing him say this, Chen Buyu was about to step forward.
But he was stopped by Chen Xian, who leisurely walked up to Wang Li himself.
"What kind of explanation does Young Master Wang want?"
"Your true relationship with the Demonic Cultivators!"
What a joke!
Four Elders had just perished like that.
How could he not drag Chen Xian down with him?
But the next second, Chen Xian laughed.
"My relationship with those four Demonic Cultivators is perfectly clear. However, someone saw the four of them entering your residence. Young Master Wang, would you like to explain that?"
After Chen Xian said this,
Wang Li was so startled he broke out in a cold sweat.
Secretly summoning four Elders from his Sect was a taboo in the Da Gan Dynasty!
Sects must not interfere in worldly affairs.
Especially since they had disguised themselves as Demonic Cultivators, it was an unspeakable matter.
If the higher-ups investigated, even as the Young Lord, the Sect would not fully protect him.
Thinking of this, Wang Li retreated repeatedly.
"Young Master Wang, I ask you, am I a Demonic Cultivator spy, or am I the son of Marquis of Jubei?"
Upon hearing this, although Wang Li really didn't want to answer, seeing Chen Xian's half-smiling expression,
he could only grit his teeth and say, "What Demonic Cultivator spy? Young Master Chen is the son of Marquis of Jubei, and the nephew of General Chen Buyu!"
"How can we take the slander of Demonic Cultivators seriously!"
Chen Xian said with a smile, "Today, the people of Jubei City are all here. With the testimony of General Chen Buyu and the Young Master of Tianqi Sect, Wang Li, everyone can believe I am innocent, right!"
As soon as these words were spoken,
the doubts in everyone's hearts gradually dissipated.
"Right, if you say Chen Buyu is shielding him because of his good relationship with Chen Xian's father, then Wang Li has no reason to do so!"
"Exactly, especially since Chen Xian even stole Wang Li's Fiancée. Such an adversarial relationship proving his innocence means we all believe it too!"
Hearing this, Wang Li almost spat out a mouthful of blood!
Damn, could you be any more heart-wrenching?
His fists clenched until they creaked.
But he didn't say anything, because at this moment, anything he said would be superfluous. He needed to hurry back and have someone thoroughly investigate whether those four were truly dead!
Seeing Wang Li leave with his men in a huff,
Chen Xian revealed a cold smile.
He didn't go anywhere else, but instead walked back to Marquis Jubei's Residence!
"Chen Xian, why are you going back there?"
Hearing this, Chen Xian immediately sneered, "Marquis Jubei's Residence is my home. Can't I go home?"
"Lord Wu Jun!"
Chen Xian emphasized the word 'Lord' heavily.
Wu Jun had originally wanted to salvage a bit of Face for his master, but Chen Xian's words made Wu Jun's legs nearly go weak, almost causing him to collapse to the ground.
Leaning against the wall, he slunk away from the place.
Late at night!
Chen Xian had just walked back into the residence.
A notification sound from the System rang in his mind!
[Ding! The Daily Intelligence System has been reorganized!]
[Daily Intelligence 1: Tonight during the Yin hour, the Ye Family will raid the prison to rescue Ye Wentian and escape back to the Southern Continent via the second teleportation array in the southern part of the city.]
Tsk!
For the Ye Family to have such an attitude,
actually surprised Chen Xian a little.
He had thought the Ye Family would cut their losses, sacrificing the pawn to save the king.
He never expected the Ye Family would go all out to protect Ye Wentian.
This made him even more convinced that this grandson Ye Wentian might indeed be some son of heavens chosen!
No, this must not be allowed to succeed!
[Daily Intelligence 2: Among the eighty Divine Strategy Army soldiers at Marquis Jubei's Residence, Zhao Hu, Yang Han, Wang Jing, and Mo Yunfei possess exceptional bone structure, with the potential to become Great Emperors!]
Hiss!
If Ye Wentian being rescued by the Ye Family was a minor surprise for Chen Xian,
then this truly left Chen Xian dumbfounded.
First, the System's reliability over the past few days left Chen Xian with no doubts!
The potential to become a Great Emperor!
This meant all four of them had the possibility of becoming future Great Emperors.
They were simply solid potential stocks!
Chen Xian felt somewhat excited; this excited him even more than Zhou Duo'er!
[Daily Intelligence 3: The Demon Lord has placed Demon-Binding Seals on all eight dispatched Demon Generals. The Host can use the elephant bone sword to break the Seals!]
Demon-Binding Seal?
Chen Xian vaguely knew of this thing; it seemed specifically designed to deal with Demonic Cultivators.
It seemed the System among their Demonic Cultivators wasn't that stable either!
As for being able to use the elephant bone sword to break the Demon-Binding Seal,
he vaguely guessed something!
The elephant bone sword was probably effective because it was stained with the blood of the Ancient Demonic Elephant from the Pill Refining Pavilion's underground palace!
That must be why it had this effect!
After reading the three pieces of intelligence,
Chen Xian strode into the back garden.
Looking at the six surviving Demonic Cultivators kneeling on the ground!
"Great Nephew, I'll take these few back with me! I need to interrogate them properly..."
Capturing Demonic Cultivators!
For the imperial court and the Cultivators of the North and South Continents, this was absolutely a major event!
But at this moment, Chen Xian whispered to Chen Buyu, "Second Uncle, I have a few words I'd like to say to you!"
"Hmm?"
Chen Buyu was pulled aside by Chen Xian.
"Great Nephew, what is it?"
"Second Uncle, can you give these Demonic Cultivators to me?"
Chen Xian's words caused Chen Buyu's expression to suddenly turn grave.
"Great Nephew, they are no good. If you lack guards, I can transfer people from the Divine Strategy Army to you! But these Demonic Cultivators are definitely not an option!"
Chen Xian said with a smile, "Second Uncle, I just want to make the best use of people and resources. These individuals are all at the Golden Core Stage; it would be a pity if they died!"
"Moreover, Jubei City is a mixed bag. If I have people from the other side, it would be more convenient for whatever I need to do!"
Faced with his Great Nephew's plea.
Chen Buyu hesitated for a moment.
"Alright then, but I have one condition!"
"Please speak, Second Uncle!"
"You have one quarter of an hour. If you can subdue them Face-to-Face, make them submit willingly, then I'll let them follow you!"
"If you cannot, then I cannot show you any leniency!"
Hearing this, Chen Xian nodded repeatedly.
"Second Uncle, then just watch me!"
After Chen Xian finished speaking,
he himself strode up to the six Demon Generals.
"The victor is king, the loser a bandit. We lost. There's nothing more to say!"
"That's right, just kill us now!"
Anyway, without capturing Chen Xian, their fate was also death!
Might as well die right here.
But at this moment, Chen Xian said with a smile, "I know why you are so determined to seek death!"
