Chapter 1109: Died Without Seeing Clearly
Upon hearing this, the usual mellow smile on Shopkeeper He's face instantly faded, and the fine lines at the corners of his eyes revealed a subtle solemnity.
Those who know him well know that the owner of Yunhe Tower is far from being as easy to talk to and manipulate as he appears to be.
"Why are you being so aggressive? After all, this is just a misunderstanding..."
Shopkeeper He shook his head slightly, his voice soft and helpless.
However, Ye Chen and the other two remained calm from beginning to end, and it was obvious that they had no intention of letting Yunhe Tower take the blame for their involvement with the Situ family.
In the eyes of their master and disciple, this trouble caused by a quarrel and involving the captain of the Shangtian Jue Army was not even a real "trouble". At most, it was a small ripple along the way.
"We appreciate Manager He's kindness," Youruo was the first to speak. A nonchalant smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and her tone was light but with unquestionable certainty.
"However, this matter is just a trivial matter and is not worth mentioning. Shopkeeper He, don't worry about it. Just leave it to us to handle it."
Youruo actually has a good impression of Manager He.
You have to know that the Situ family is a real behemoth in this area, with extensive influence and connections, and ordinary people avoid them as much as possible.
But Shopkeeper He was willing to stand up at this time and openly defend these customers whom he had never met before. This courage and morality are very rare from this point of view alone.
But after hearing this, Manager He immediately showed an embarrassment on his face, his brows twisted into the shape of a "川" character, and he secretly groaned in his heart.
He had just spent so much time and effort to appease the anger of the captains of the Tianjue Army, and tried hard to help these three people resolve the disaster in front of them. As a result, this girl offended the other party again as soon as she opened her mouth!
He opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say to save the situation.
Yes, it’s no wonder that the captains of the Tianjue Army were angry when the Situ family was described as so worthless and treated so lightly.
Soon, Youruo and the other two walked up to the four captains of the Tianjue Army.
Almost the moment they stopped, the four captains, dressed in black armor and standing tall as pine trees, suddenly became extremely sharp in their eyes, like four swords suddenly drawn from their sheaths, piercing people's hearts.
The fierceness and murderous aura accumulated from years of fighting on the battlefield and bloody battles were displayed without reservation at this moment, instantly freezing the air that was originally filled with whispers around.
"boom!!!"
A loud bang that made people's eardrums hurt suddenly exploded, and four terrifying auras like mountains collapsing burst out from the bodies of the four people without warning, crushing towards Ye Chen and the other two.
The aura was so strong that the people watching the excitement around turned pale instantly and subconsciously stepped back for fear of being affected by the aura.
The four captains acted cleanly and efficiently, without any unnecessary words. It was obvious that they intended to take action right from the start and completely suppress Ye Chen and the other two to serve as a warning to others.
Faced with such a terrifying aura of suppression, not to mention the spectators with low cultivation around them, even Shopkeeper He, who was a powerful Queen of the Gods, had to frown tightly at this moment. The immortal power in his body began to circulate subconsciously, forming a faint halo around him to dissolve the oppressive feeling that was coming towards him.
The four captains of the Tianjue Army attacked at the same time. This was no joke!
The four of them stood side by side, their auras intertwined together, like four towering, heavy, insurmountable mountains, standing in front of Ye Chen and the other two, making people feel intimidated.
However, just when everyone held their breath, thinking that Ye Chen and the other three would be powerless to resist and would surely die under this four-fold pressure, something strange happened.
Those four captains who were so aggressive just now, suddenly, without any warning, covered their chests and spit out blood!
"puff!!!"
Blood splattered on the ground like a broken red silk thread, staining the bluestone slab red.
What was even more shocking was that not only did the four of them vomit blood at the same time, but their aura was also rapidly weakening at a speed visible to the naked eye.
His originally upright body began to shake, and his powerful cultivation level rapidly declined like the tide. He looked as if he had been hit by some extremely vicious and overbearing evil spell, leaving him without even a glimmer of resistance.
The four men fell without any warning, so fast that people couldn't react at all.
Moreover, just now, the four of them put on a ferocious and domineering posture as if they were sure of victory, making everyone think that the next ones to fall to the ground would be Ye Chen's three people who seemed to have no power to resist.
The results of it?
In less than a blink of an eye, it was the four captains of the Tianjue Army who fell?
Everyone was stunned. They looked at each other with expressions of disbelief on their faces. They had no idea what had just happened in that brief moment.
The only thing they could see was that the four captains of the Tianjue Army, who were once so powerful, were now lying on the ground with their hands covering their chests, with blood constantly flowing from the corners of their mouths, and their breaths were as weak as a candle in the wind.
"What happened to them? They're fine now, could it be a sudden illness?!"
Someone in the crowd couldn't help but lower their voice and asked with confusion on their face.
"A sudden illness? That doesn't seem likely! Look at how they looked just now. It's clear they were attacked by surprise, and they were caught completely off guard!"
Someone immediately objected, with a certainty in their tone.
"But who would dare to attack the four captains of the Tianjue Army here? Isn't that just asking for trouble?"
Someone else raised a question, his tone full of confusion - you know, the Tianjue Army is the direct force of the Situ family, and in this area, no one dares to provoke them easily.
"Besides, it's simply impossible to attack the Tianjue Army captain silently, right? We all know how vigilant the Tianjue Army soldiers are! Who on earth has such strong power to be able to do this?!"
"More importantly, the person who launched the sneak attack was able to severely injure four captains of the Tianjue Army at the same time. This requires extremely harsh strength!!!"
The crowd watching the excitement was in complete chaos. Everyone was whispering to each other, with shock and confusion on their faces.
Everyone was wondering which hidden master had taken action to create this strange and shocking scene.
In their opinion, it was too difficult to achieve this, and the level of cultivation required was beyond their imagination.
"Um?!"
Shopkeeper He, who was not far away, was also completely stunned.
He widened his eyes and stared at the four captains of the Tianjue Army who had fallen to the ground, not knowing whether they were dead or alive. He turned around suddenly and his gaze fell on Ye Chen, who had always looked calm. His heart was full of doubts, and at the same time, a bold guess emerged.
He suspected that the strange scene just now was most likely the work of this young man who looked young but was unfathomable.
From the first time he saw Ye Chen, he felt that this young man was not simple.
The aura around the other person was as calm as still water, but he used all his cultivation to sense it, but he could not see through the other person's depth at all, as if the other person was like a bottomless abyss, making it impossible to peek into it.
Moreover, when the four captains of the Tianjue Army suddenly fell to the ground as if they had suffered a sudden illness, everyone around them panicked, but this young man had no expression on his face and still looked calm and composed.
As if he had anticipated all this, the current changes were just a trivial matter to him.
Therefore, he was almost certain that this young man must know that someone would come to deal with these four Tianjue Army captains.
In fact, the person who attacked these four commanders of the Tianjue Army was actually himself!
However, as soon as this thought came up, it was suppressed by Manager He himself.
He had been staring at Ye Chen just now, and did not feel any fluctuation in the young man's cultivation from beginning to end. The other party stood there like an ordinary spectator, without even moving a finger.
"At my level, as long as someone attacks near me, no matter how well they hide, no matter what means they use, I should be able to detect it. But just now, I didn't feel him attack at all, not even the slightest energy fluctuation... Could I be wrong?"
Shopkeeper He muttered to himself, once again overturning his own guess.
After all, he also knew that this speculation was too shocking.
A person was standing not far away from him, and he could kill four captains of the Tianjue Army silently and instantly, and even hide it from the perception of him, a powerful person in the Queen Stage of the Divine Queen?
This is simply beyond common sense.
No matter what, he is still a powerful person in the Queen of Gods period, and his perception of the energy of the surrounding heaven and earth has long reached an extremely sharp level.
There are almost no people in this Central Plains who can completely deceive his perception!
Unless, the other party's realm of strength is really much higher than his, and he has reached the point where he can hide his breath and control energy at will without leaving any trace.
But looking at the entire Zhongzhou, apart from those terrifying ancestors who live in seclusion in the depths of the major top forces and almost never show up, there should be few people who can do this.
This young man doesn't look like an old monster who has lived for thousands of years.
"Could it be that there are other masters nearby secretly protecting these three? The reason these three can remain so calm and composed is not because of blind arrogance, but because there are truly powerful protectors secretly guarding them?!"
Thinking of this, Manager He's eyes lit up, and he felt that his guess was probably right.
Only in this way can we explain why these three people dared to be so arrogant. In the face of threats from the Situ family and the Tianjue Army, they were still able to remain calm and not take anyone seriously. With powerful protectors backing them up, they were naturally fearless.
However, no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't figure out which force's protectors dared to look down on the Situ family?
You have to know that the Situ family is the top force in Zhongzhou, and there are not many forces in the entire Zhongzhou that can ignore the Situ family.
“Perhaps, the answer will be revealed soon!!!”
Shopkeeper He's curiosity was completely aroused, and he became more and more curious about the true identities of Ye Chen and the other three.
If he didn't have some strong background, how could he dare to be so arrogant in front of the Situ family?
In that case, he was happy to stand aside and watch the show quietly to see what would happen next.
And above the sky, Master Situ and several of his followers, who were originally standing leisurely on the clouds, waiting to see Ye Chen and the other two being suppressed, were stunned when they saw that the four captains of the Tianjue Army suddenly fell silent. Their faces were full of helplessness, and they had no idea what was going on.
“Third Uncle!!!”
Master Situ immediately turned around and looked at the middle-aged man beside him who had been silent and steady, with a hint of panic and anxiety in his tone.
This third uncle is the person with the highest cultivation level around him, and is also his support for this trip.
Uncle San frowned tightly, raised his hand and waved it towards Master Situ, signaling him not to say anything more.
Then, he simply waved his hand, controlling the clouds under his feet to slowly descend, and came into the city with Master Situ and several others, and quickly walked to the sides of the four captains of the Tianjue Army.
An attendant immediately squatted down, stretched out his hand, and quickly probed the necks of the four captains, then checked their breathing. His face turned pale in an instant, and he suddenly looked up at Third Uncle, reporting in a trembling voice: "They...they are all dead!"
"died?!"
When Master Situ heard this, his pupils suddenly shrank and his face became even more panicked.
He never imagined that four powerful captains of the Tianjue Army would die in such an unclear manner?
If this gets back to the family, he will definitely be held responsible!
Uncle San's face also became completely gloomy. He slowly raised his head, his eyes as cold as ice, staring coldly at Ye Chen not far away, his eyes full of murderous intent.
He was almost certain that it was this person who most likely acted in secret and killed the four captains.
"You are truly resourceful!" Uncle San's voice was icy cold, filled with undisguised hostility. "I wonder what your name is? And what is your purpose in opposing my Situ family?!"
The opponent must be very powerful to be able to kill four captains of the Tianjue Army in an instant!
Uncle San also became more cautious and no longer dared to look down on others as he did before.
However, despite his vigilance, the arrogance in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest.
No matter who the other party is, or how strong they are, in front of the mighty Situ family, they are all just vulnerable chickens and dogs!
If you dare to provoke the Situ family, you must pay the price!
Ye Chen didn't say a word from beginning to end, and didn't even look at his uncle, as if the other party was not worth his words at all.
Youruo, who was standing by, naturally understood what her master meant.
People of this level are not qualified to have a close conversation with Master, let alone deserve Master to respond.
So, Youruo took a step forward and stood in front of Ye Chen. She looked at Third Uncle with disdain in her eyes, and a cold arc appeared on the corner of her mouth. She responded coldly: "You are not qualified to know!"
