Chapter 1469 – Delaying for Time



Chapter 1469 – Delaying for Time

“Hmph!”

With a cold snort, Xu Shen quickly glanced across the surroundings. The entire area fell silent.

In Seascape City, no one dared to openly challenge the City Governor.

One of the reasons was because Xu Shen’s cultivation was extremely strong and he was one of the peak cultivators. His cultivation was becoming more and more complete and he was rumored to be able to break through and become a Ruler in the next one hundred years.

Moreover, he was cold and brutal. From the past till now, he had personally taken action four times, and all four times, a True Saint had died.

The City Governor had such a horrifying Assistant General and no one dared to challenge them.

Chen Shanglue did not have the arrogance of a young lord as he quickly stepped forwards to greet respectfully, “Uncle Xu, you are here. I can finally rest assured!”

He was not simply complimenting but was genuinely relieved. Since Xu Shen had come personally, no one could change anything.

This had been the truth and was well proven by history!

Xu Shen returned the greeting respectfully. He was not burdened by Chen Shanglue’s politeness at all, “Young lord, what happened here?”

There was a sinister look in Chen Shanglue’s eyes. “I won’t hide from you Uncle Xu. Although I am involved, I don’t know what is really going on. This is a joke, but in order for me to not become the laughing stock of the city, please help me retain everyone in the darkness. We will be able to find out the truth…after all, the City Governor will not take the fall!”

He said the last sentence with a murderous intent.

Xu Shen immediately understood the deeper meaning in his words. Although what happened today seemed to be targetted at Chen Shanglue, it was in fact meant to attack the City Governor. There must be a huge plot behind this.

As an important member of the City Governance, Xu Shen had always been extremely respectful towards Governor Chen. If the Governor had not helped him back then, Xu Shen would not be where he was today.

Moreover, he was very aligned with Governor Chen and was in an indivisible union. They both had one goal. Whether intentional or for practicality, Xu Shen would not allow anyone to plot against the Governor.

Narrowing his eyes, Xu Shen waved his hands coldly, “Surround them!” The numerous cultivators he brought with him dispersed and secured this courtyard that was shrouded in darkness.

Similar to Chen Shanglue, Assistant General Xu Shen recalled how the City Governance had recently gone through some troubles. Even as the Governor, he had to personally submit a declaration to the West Desolate Emperor to explain himself and make it clear that he was not involved.

Now, even the imperial capital’s attitude was ambiguous and no one knew when things would end or whether the investigation would expand in scope. But no matter what, it was best for the City Governance to be silent and not create any commotion. But it seems like someone did not want the City Governor to remain silent.

A sinister look filled Xu Shen’s eyes as he took out a token and handed it to his confidant. He said a few things into his ear and that person flew up. Very soon, a huge troop of city guards reached Moon Brothel and took control of the entire place, sealing it and preventing any incidents from happening.

The residence that was shrouded in darkness was still in turmoil. The massacre was still happening and Xu Shen could sense the intense aura that was being emitted from within. He frowned before turning calm again.

He was calm because no matter where their opponent came from or what their goal was, Xu Shen was confident in controlling the entire scene. He just needed to catch these people and make them speak. They would be able to find out what happened.

If they wanted to capture them alive, then they could not just sit and watch. If someone was killed inside, many things may be buried.

Taking a deep breath, Xu Shen stepped forth. His entire aura changed as if a thick long knife had been unsheathed and its sinister cold light reflected into the air, emitting endless killing intent.

Boom –

With a strike, the darkness tore from within. Without hesitating, Xu Shen stepped in.

Boom boom boom –

In the next moment, the darkness pulsed even stronger and emitted a horrifying aura. Madness sprung from it.

Crack –

Crack –

In the depths of the lake, the mud and stone were torn apart. It seemed to give birth to several bottomless cracks, like an open mouth madly swallowing the lake water to form a huge vortex.

With an exclamation, light shone from within and covered all the guests as well as the beauties. They were shocked and started to run in all directions.

In the next moment, the luxurious and beautiful front courtyard collapsed!

The boss of Moon Brothel, who was young but rumored to have a strong backing, suddenly appeared within the chaos. His eyes were wide as he stared at what was going on. He paled in an instant and started trembling.

Things had blown up and would not end with this. If they investigated him…he was not confident that he would be able to escape unscathed!

After a brief hesitation, there was a trace of misery on his face as the boss raised his hand and touched his forehead. ‘Pak’, Red and white things splattered everywhere and the headless corpse fell on his back. Blood spurted out of his broken neck like a blood fountain.

There were exclamations in the crowd. Those that knew who he was immediately started to silently retreat as they sent messages out anxiously.

What everyone thought was a simple show of jealousy had turned into this. Xu Shen personally brought guards over and then the city guards came to Moon Brothel….now, the boss of this brothel had committed suicide!

There must be something going on…trouble. Big trouble!

Chen Shanglue found out about the ‘boss’ of this Moon Brothel committing suicide and his heart fell as he looked solemn.

But now, he could not be bothered about this. Xu Shen had been inside for a long time but had yet to suppress the opponent.

At this moment, the darkness was pulsing violently. It was like a bloated stomach that was squirming crazily. It gave a horrifying and strange feeling.

All of a sudden, a horrifying thought flashed through his mind. His entire body stiffened as horror shone in his eyes.

Could it be that this entire thing was aimed at the City Governor? Was Xu Shen entering the darkness like prey falling into a trap?

Chen Shanglue growled and gestured to the city guards to take action. However, at this moment, there was a soft cough by his ear. A cold hand grabbed his neck.

“Order them to stay where they are.”

A black robe flashed. Chen Shanglue did not know who this person was but the hairs on his back stood from the coldness.

At this moment, the city guards protecting Chen Shanglue finally sensed the man in the black robe as they shouted angrily, “Let go of the lord!”

Qin Yu coughed a few more times as surprise flashed through his eyes. Alas, that person was someone powerful from the Desolate Area. Their means were terrifying and even with his power, he almost suffered.

In the Vast Brightness World, although not super easy to deal with, normal True Saints were still manageable. He would not be disheveled like now!

Thinking fast, he glanced at the eager city guards and his hand clenched tighter. He said slowly, “Make them keep quiet. Just because they are loud, it doesn’t mean that it will be able to solve the problem. Neither can they die on your behalf.”

Chen Shanglue’s heart froze as he struggled to maintain a stable hand. He lifted his hand and stopped the city guards from shouting. He said slowly, “I hope you know who you are touching.”

Taking a deep breath, his voice was even calmer as his eyes were unflustered, “I am Chen Shanglue. I am the only son of the Governor of Seascape City, Chen Yuanshen. No matter who you are, since you dare to touch me, you will not be able to escape Seascape City alive. So you better think properly on whether you can bear the consequence!”

He spoke threateningly.

In this world, no one was an independent individual. There were always some people one cared about and were close to. It was okay to lose one’s life, but if one wasn’t not careful, they may bring them a terrifying disaster.

Qin Yu tilted his head to take a look. Chen Shanglue was slightly pale but he was calm and unflustered. Qin Yu was slightly surprised.

It seemed like there were still some outstanding people in the second generation of hedonists. When it came to personality, Chen Shanglue could be considered outstanding.

But it was just that. So Qin Yu nodded, “I know.”

One sentence, two words. He said it lightly, without revealing any emotions. Chen Shanglue felt like his threat had landed on deaf ears and his heart shrunk as he felt uneasy.

Instinct told him that this man in black was an extremely terrifying being. It seemed like he did not care about the City Governor’s power!

The darkness covering the residence suddenly disappeared and three bodies appeared on the ground. One of them was the carriage driver. This person had his eyes wide open in a shocked expression as if he had gone through something horrifying.

The other two also died a miserable death. One had a hole in his chest and his heart was missing. The other had his back broken and his entire body was twisted at a weird angle.

In such a short time, three True Saints had died. Even though this vast Seascape City had numerous powerful cultivators, such a brutal thing had never happened before.

Xu Shen’s face fell as he stepped towards Qin Yu. His eyes narrowed and his lips curled in a cold angle, “The lord spoke too mildly. I am from the army and do not like to beat around the bush. I am going to tell you directly. If the lord is injured, everyone around you will die miserable deaths!”

Qin Yu coughed lightly, feeling a slight sour taste in his mouth. He could not help but feel annoyed. His sneak attack had nearly hurt me. But now that I am holding onto the lord, he dares to speak such nonsense…really, more arrogant than me!

As he was feeling annoyed, he subconsciously gripped tighter and Chen Shanglue suffered the brunt of it. Chen Shanglue’s face turned red in pain.

“I am not stupid and understand very well. You don’t have to say the same threat twice. Moreover, you should stop now. I am a very bold person. If my hand accidentally trembles, I can’t say which of us will die, but Chen Shanglue will definitely die before me.”

Xu Shen was expressionless as if he did not hear Qin Yu and continued to move forwards. He closed the distance in silence as his sinister aura grew, giving out a suppressing feeling.

“How dare you!”

With three words, a spark flew in Qin Yu’s mind. Although Qin Yu had joined hands with Xu Shen to kill off the three True Saints, he knew that the City Governor had most likely been used as well. The schemers were probably trying to make a mess or maybe they had other motives.

So for them to quarrel was not the best solution. This would only make their opponent stronger. He had just entered the Desolate Area. Until he understood what was going on, offending a strong power was stupid.

But even so, Qin Yu knew that since things had blown up here, Hundred Saint would soon find out.

Qin Yu had to control the situation and drag it out until he arrived. He would then hand this mess over to Hundred Saint. Now, Chen Shanglue was his only key.

Understanding what he needed to do, although he felt helpless and was facing difficulties, Qin Yu maintained a cool and unmoved tone.

“You can try.”

Three words for three words. Tit for tat.

Xu Shen’s eyes were extremely chilly. He stepped forwards and the distance between them reduced to less than ten feet.

Crack –

A soft sound came from Chen Shanglue’s neck. His heart almost burst open as fear broke through his composure. It swept through his mind and he cried out, “Uncle Xu!”

A bone was broken. But to cultivators, even if their spine was the thing that broke, it would not be considered a severe injury.

What was critical was that the palm that was emitting iciness now contained an extremely powerful energy that seemed to destroy everything.

Once it was released, in the moment that his neck broke, it would be sufficient to completely destroy his soul and tear his body into pieces.

Xu Shen frowned and sighed softly. He had toed the line between life and death countless times and he would not misread.

The man in the black robe was powerful but he did not seem like he wanted to fight to his death. Hence, he would most likely not hurt the lord.

But now, the fear Chen Shanglue was feeling had ruined his plans. If he continued to move forwards, there really might be an incident…even if he could save Chen Shanglue, it would just make him bear grudges.

As the City Governor’s nephew, he was one with the Governor. Xu Shen did not wish to jeopardize his future.

Pak –

With one more step, Xu Shen stopped and stared at the looming eyes under the black robe, “Let go of the lord and I will give you a chance to explain.”

Does he think I am a three-year old? Does he really think I will believe him? Qin Yu shook his head and said slowly, “You have no authority to decide this.”

There was no deeper meaning to this. He merely wanted to delay until Hundred Saint came. Since this started from him, he would resolve it.

But it was obvious that Xu Shen did not think so as he frowned harder. The murderous look in his eyes intensified. If things today did not involve Chen Shanglue, he would not be bothered about whether this person died or not and would kill him on the spot.

Taking a deep breath, he fell silent for a while before snarling, “Send a message to the Governor’s mansion!”
