It was already midnight. Just outside Linxian City, Ye Tianchen sat cross-legged on a large tree. He had already parted ways with the Wudao Saint Child. He furrowed his brow, pondering why he hadn’t seen the old man with the smoking pipe. This old guy was most likely the one who framed and ambushed him. Ye Tianchen was almost certain of it. And yet, until he and the Wudao Saint Child, with the help of the Wang family’s second young lady, left, Ye Tianchen had not caught a trace of the old man with the smoking pipe, which made him feel a bit strange.

”Could it be that the old guy is already dead? Impossible. He’s unfathomably powerful and also has the forbidden tool, the Black Tripod. He should have been the first to escape when given the last chance. But when the Black Tripod plunged into the dust below, the old man with the smoking pipe wasn’t seen emerging. Could it be that this old thing had long left the manor and was using the Black Tripod inside to control the battle with Divine Thought?” Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but talk to himself.

Ye Tianchen continued to think about the despicable person who framed and ambushed him, someone so vicious and treacherous. Who could it be? Clearly, the one capable of killing the old man from the Ding Sect and the middle-aged man from the Xinyang family, and even all the experts from these two legacies, someone who also knew about the spiritual medicine and divine herb on their bodies, was very skilled. The only people aware of this were Ye Tianchen, the Wudao Saint Child, the old man with the smoking pipe, the old man from the Ding Sect, and the middle-aged man from the Xinyang family. The last two were already dead, and they certainly didn’t kill themselves to rob themselves of their spiritual medicine and divine herb. This left only one possibility: the old man with the smoking pipe and the Wudao Saint Child took advantage of the chaos to steal the medicine, impersonate him, frame, and assassinate. The more he thought about it, the only person Ye Tianchen could think of was the old man with the smoking pipe. Firstly, the old man was unfathomable, who knows how powerful he was; secondly, he had a grudge against him; compared to the Wudao Saint Child, there was never any conflict. Thirdly, the Wudao Saint Child appeared in the end, breaking through the Fiery Flame Killing Array with him, and even jointly attacked the Sky Suppressing Tower. If the Wudao Saint Child had stolen the spiritual medicine and divine herb, he would have long escaped, and indeed, had he wanted to assassinate him, there were many opportunities just now.

Therefore, from these analyses, Ye Tianchen was almost certain that the one who framed and ambushed him, who killed the old man from the Ding Sect and the middle-aged man from the Xinyang family, and took their spiritual medicine and divine herb was indeed the old man with the smoking pipe!

”I can’t leave yet, the fishing old man senior and Xiao Ling are still in Linxian City, I have to figure out a way to get them out!” Ye Tianchen thought for a moment, then slowly entered meditation, waiting for dawn.

The next morning, Ye Tianchen was awakened by the urgent sound of horse hooves and couldn’t help but look down. He saw powerful martial artists in various distinctive outfits all rushing towards Linxian City along the road. There was no doubt these people were from the forces of those who died last night. They naturally wouldn’t be content to let their people die just like that; they wanted justice, an explanation. They couldn’t just let the Wang family kill their people in vain.

”As expected, it was no surprise the Wang family’s second young lady foresaw this. The Wang family’s actions would surely make them a target of all, and they would meet a grim fate!” Ye Tianchen shook his head. Now let’s see how the Wang family handles it. Among these arriving legacies, several are not weak and do not fear the Wang family’s power. Suppressing them will likely require a significant price from the Wang family.

After thinking it over, Ye Tianchen was still in the tree. Only to see his form and appearance constantly changing. By now, he had mastered the ’Bone Transformation Skill’ and quickly transformed himself into a big, fat man. His presence had completely disappeared, a total metamorphosis. After thinking it over, Ye Tianchen looked at his Taoist robe and found it quite fitting. He then used the Bone Transformation Skill on a tree branch, turning it into a horsetail whisk, and jumped down from the tree looking like a true fat Taoist.

Ye Tianchen headed towards the entrance of Linxian City and indeed saw an increase in the disciples inspecting for the Wang family at the entrance, and even two elder-level experts. One was in the Late Martial Venerate cultivation realm, and the other in the Early-stage Martial Saint cultivation realm. It must be said that the Wang family took this very seriously and also knew the factions and legacies related to those killed would not let it rest. Fearing a direct exposure and assault towards Linxian City, not even given a chance to explain, so they sent two elders with profound cultivation to guard the place.

Except for those large forces, who could enter without inspection, any martial artist or ordinary person wanting to enter or leave Linxian City had to undergo inspection and be scanned with Divine Thought by the two powerful elders. It seemed they worried someone might use Disguise Skill to avoid inspection. These large forces entering were naturally those from which the murdered martial artists belonged, already filled with fury, eager to destroy the Wang family immediately. If further inspected here, it would likely cause them to immediately lose their temper.

However, when Ye Tianchen arrived at the city gates, he found three portraits posted on the wall. These portraits were of him, the old man with the smoking pipe, and the Wudao Saint Child, with texts below that many were looking at. When Ye Tianchen saw the text, he wanted to flatten the Wang family with a foot. It was infuriating; it seemed the Wang family had already planned this. Beneath the three portraits, there was a line of text: These three are Great Demons attempting to steal the Taishi family’s legacy, thus going on a murderous rampage, killing most of the martial arts experts. The Wang family arrived to suppress these three Great Demons but unfortunately let them escape. Anyone providing clues would be rewarded with ten million liang, deeply regretting not being able to save most, for which the Wang family sincerely apologizes!

The Wang family is disgraceful, and also forced into a corner. I didn’t expect them to have come up with such a method long ago. No wonder they dared to carry out a massacre on such a large scale last night. Even if a few powerful martial artists managed to escape, they didn’t immediately send people to pursue them, but instead focused all their efforts on killing Ye Tianchen and the Wudao Saint Child. Because once they dealt with them, even if those who escaped knew about the Wang family’s conspiracy, they might not be able to convince everyone. The Wang family could still claim that they didn’t come to kill them, but to save them. They could say they were just targeting the three great demons: Ye Tianchen, the pipe-smoking old man, and the Wudao Saint Child. Although these influential groups might not believe it, the Wang family would have ample justification. Any group wanting to challenge the Wang family would have to consider the Wang family’s deep resources, and surely wouldn’t act recklessly. That’s why the Wang family dared to act so fearlessly.

”I didn’t expect it to be this guy, too powerful!”

”We actually didn’t make a mistake, but I wonder where this guy has gone. It seems he won’t meet us as scheduled, right?”

Suddenly, among the crowd reading the bulletin, Ye Tianchen noticed two familiar faces, or rather not quite familiar people. They were none other than the Black and White Impermanence brothers, which surprised him. Despite their not particularly high cultivation realm, they had managed to escape alive from the Wang family’s estate, which was truly remarkable. He wondered what their background was.

At this moment, Ye Tianchen remembered that he had arranged to meet these two brothers early in the morning outside Linxian City, then go together to steal the so-called Immortal Wine. Unexpectedly, these two brothers were indeed waiting here. Ye Tianchen shook his head and headed toward the city gate of Linxian City. Not to mention that he didn’t trust these two brothers—besides, he needed to quickly bring out the Old Fishing Man and Xiao Ling. Knowing that they had stirred up trouble at the entrance of Linxian City before, and since Ye Tianchen’s wanted posters had come out, it would be dangerous for Xiao Ling and the Old Fishing Man if they were found.

”Stop, submit to an inspection!” a disciple of the Wang family shouted at Ye Tianchen.

Ye Tianchen stood still but secretly began to circulate his Martial Arts True Power. Although he had absolute confidence in his Bone Transformation Skill, if encountering someone with excessively high cultivation or possessing a secret treasure, he might still be exposed. This martial arts world is vast and boundless, and it’s unknown what terrifying entities or powerful treasures might exist, so it’s best to be cautious. Ye Tianchen had no intention of causing any big trouble now; first, he needed to ensure the safety of the Old Fishing Man and Xiao Ling. He didn’t know how they were doing now.

At this time, as Ye Tianchen stood still, an elder of the Wang family approached, staring closely at Ye Tianchen. A powerful Divine Thought spread out, probing toward Ye Tianchen, which startled him, as he could feel the runes flashing within this powerful Divine Thought, making it hard to hide his Origin. The Wang family indeed had profound strength and a deep foundation, truly worthy of not being underestimated. At that moment, Ye Tianchen concentrated and suppressed his Martial Arts True Qi, maintaining complete calm, so as not to reveal any flaw to the Wang family elder.

After a few moments, the elder from the Wang family looked at Ye Tianchen with a frown and then said, ”You may go in!”

”Thank you. Excuse me, could you tell me what’s happening in Linxian City? It seems the Wang family has stationed many people here,” Ye Tianchen intentionally said.

”Three great demons have killed many disciples of various forces and might still be hiding in Linxian City. We do not allow anyone to enter or leave easily. Since our Wang family governs Linxian City, it is only natural for us to uphold justice for everyone!” The elder said with utmost seriousness as he looked at Ye Tianchen, making him want to slap him. The acting was too good, showing no emotion even in extreme disgrace. (To be continued.
