Fantasy: The Clan Chief Lies Down, His House Is Full of Emperors

After paying the spirit stones, Xu Chen left the arena with the three assassins he had bought. The manager looked reluctant to see him go and prayed that he would come often.

Xu Chen went straight back to the inn, released the two people he had bought on the spur of the moment, and kept only the burly, dark-skinned youth.

After disguising themselves and the boy, they immediately took him away from the main city, intending to use the teleportation array to leave the Holy City.

Xu Chen had no idea whether he had been targeted by someone during his year of scavenging in the Holy City.

But now that we've found such a great bargain, the safest thing to do is to run away first.

The main issue is that it will be inconvenient to continue traveling with him in the future.

The boy couldn't help but ask, "Why did you buy me?"

"I think you're special," Xu Chen replied casually.

The boy was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "If you can do me a favor, I'll do anything you want from now on."

"What kind of help? Tell me," Xu Chen asked with interest.

The boy briefly recounted his experience.

He came from a small family in an ordinary town. He was orphaned at a young age and was taken in and raised by the old housekeeper.

A year ago, his small family was arrested by the authorities for offending someone.

The old and young were killed, and the young and women were sold.

Because the boy was special, he was sold to the Holy City Arena.

For the past year, he has been working hard to improve his strength, hoping to one day escape and avenge the old steward who raised him.

Because of his special abilities, many people came to test him in all aspects, but unfortunately, they found no results. He was just strong, but he couldn't even perform Qi sensing cultivation.

So he remained in the arena, struggling to live for the faint hope.

Until now, when Xu Chen was bought.

The help he mentioned was to help him find his enemy and take revenge.

If Xu Qingzhou were here, he would definitely sigh and say, "This is the typical protagonist template."

After listening, Xu Chen said, "I can help you find your enemy, but if the other party is too powerful or has a powerful background, you can't take revenge immediately. You'll have to wait."

What powerful people could a small family in a small town possibly offend?

Xu Chen said this to be on the safe side, not wanting to make any promises too easily.

The boy replied, "Okay, thank you. My name is Qu Wubing. My grandfather gave me this name because I was often sick when I was a child."

"Will that work?" Xu Chen asked, almost as if possessed.

Qu Wubing replied, "It's no use. I still get sick often, just not as frequently as before."

Xu Chen: "..."

The kid kept talking with a blank expression, which made Xu Chen feel embarrassed to laugh out loud.

In large cities like Holy City Broken Mountain City, the teleportation arrays are located on the edge of the main urban area. When they arrived at the main hall where the teleportation array was located, they were stopped.

"The teleportation array is malfunctioning and cannot be used temporarily."

Xu Chen frowned subconsciously.

"But I saw someone go in just now and haven't come out yet."

The security guard still had a cold expression.

"Just now, now is now."

Hearing this, someone with a short temper would have already been ready to fight or start yelling.

But the cautious and steady Xu Chen, expressionless, turned and left.

Clearly, this was intentional, and they were prevented from riding.

I just don't know if I was targeted before, or if I was targeted because of buying a fake illness.

Xu Chen thought it was the former, after all, he had done a near-perfect job in buying Qu Wubing.

With such immense power, the other party's identity must be extraordinary.

When they were about a thousand feet away from the main hall, Xu Chen stopped, looked up and asked loudly.

"What kind of deity is following me and won't let us leave? What's their purpose? Shall we talk about it?"

His behavior made passersby think he was mentally ill.

In a short while, an old man and a young man appeared about ten feet away from him.

The old man was vigorous and energetic, while the young man, dressed in white, possessed an ethereal air; their strength was unfathomable.

"My name is Gu Mingkong. Please forgive my abruptness."

Xu Chen was startled.

The Holy City is managed by three major holy lands: Zhenyi, Taichu, and Tianhuang.

The Holy Son of Zhenyi Holy Land is Zhan Wufeng, and the Holy Son of Taichu Holy Land is Gu Mingkong.

Xu Chen never expected that the person who was targeting him had such an astonishing identity.

In Shenque Palace, he and Zhan Wufeng, the Holy Son of Zhenyi Holy Land, were both students. However, after leaving Shenque Palace, the gap between him and the Holy Sons of the three Holy Lands was vast, like an insurmountable chasm.

Not only will it be difficult to escape now, but even if you do manage to escape, there may be trouble later.

When did you start targeting me?

Gu Mingkong said, "A month ago, at the auction, the purple stone..."

Xu Chen suddenly realized.

A month ago, he attended a large-scale auction and won a purple stone. The stone was ordinary and useless, but it contained a valuable demon core.

Xu Chen did hide his abilities very well, but in the face of absolute power, these methods seemed somewhat naive.

The old man beside Gu Mingkong was at least at the Integration Realm, and most likely a Saint Realm expert.

It can be said that for the past month, everything he did was under the watchful eye of the other party.

Thinking of this, Xu Chen felt a chill run down his spine, feeling both angry and helpless.

The reason they haven't shown up or contacted me is probably because they don't want me to break the rules of the Holy City.

It's also possible that they wanted to continue monitoring Xu Chen to see what was so special about him.

It's not too late to take action once everything is clear.

Gu Mingkong said directly, "I have two purposes for talking to you. First, you need to tell me what methods you used to discover the secret of the purple stone. Second, what is so special about the young man next to you?"

Although he didn't mention the consequences of Xu Chen refusing, the consequences were already obvious.

Moreover, he wasn't discussing it or asking Xu Chen for his consent; it was more like giving an order.

"Could you give me a day to think about it?" Xu Chen replied.

Gu Mingkong smiled slightly, as if he had already guessed Xu Chen's purpose. He raised an eyebrow and said calmly.

"No problem, you have one day to call for help. Hopefully, you can find someone to take you away."

After saying that, the two of them left immediately.

Two words: confidence.

This is a holy city jointly managed by the three holy lands, and Gu Mingkong, as the holy son of the Primordial Holy Land, certainly has such confidence.

Although he cannot represent the three holy lands, if he were to reveal Xu Chen's secret to the other two holy lands, then the three holy lands could unite.

Even if the two great dynasties or the two great ancient families come together, it won't make a difference.

Unless all four of them come together, the Holy City can make concessions.

In Gu Mingkong's view, since Xu Chen wanted to delay for a day, either he had a powerful background and wanted to seek support, or he had a way to escape.

If he really has some powerful background, then I should apologize and turn hostility into friendship.

If you don't have any connections and are just thinking of using some means of escape, then you're overthinking it.

After all, his methods would be ineffective in the face of absolute power.
