Chapter 90: Overbearing Means

  "Pffft!"

  One sword pierced the elder in front of him, making a chill run down his spine. The tip of the knife protruded from behind, and drops of fresh blood fell, the elder's eyes were scattered, filled with terror and unbelievable color, at the moment of death, he suspected whether he had encountered the terrible figure of the fate secret realm, but he could no longer get an answer.

  Ye Chen swung his arm, carrying the elder's corpse with him as he spun around. The corpse was torn from the knife under great force and flew straight at another elder, just in time to meet the fist wind that was charging towards him.

  Bang!

  The body of the old man who had just died was hit by a gust of wind, and his still-limp body convulsed violently in mid-air, with a cluster of blood and flesh bursting out from the knife wound on his chest before heavily falling to the ground.

  "Hum!"

  At this moment, Ye Chen's toes pointed upwards, and he leaped into the air, his large knife chopping down with force, its momentum like a mountain avalanche, so fast that it made people's eyes dizzy. The old man had no time to react, and suddenly an iron rod appeared in his hand, which he raised to block.

  Clang!!

  Crack!

  A loud metallic screeching sound was followed by the sound of metal cracking.

  Gasp!

  A flash of blood light, a big knife chopped off the iron rod, from the top of the old man's head to his feet, and he still stood there with his hands raised, until two breaths later, he let out a loud scream, split in half, splashing a sky full of bloody fog.

  "You... don't come any closer..." Hu Yifei's legs went soft, his crotch was wet for more than half, he was so scared that he lost control of his bladder. He fell to the ground with a thud, his eyes full of terror, constantly crawling backward and begging for mercy: "Spare me, whatever you want I'll give it to you, I'm the young master of Wuying Gate, the only son of the gate master. If you want money, I can give it to you, if you want spiritual medicine, that's fine too. Low-grade top-quality spiritual medicine, I'll give you a hundred stalks, please don't kill me."

  Ye Chen remained unmoved, holding the big knife and taking step by step towards him. Every step he took was like stepping on Hu Yifei's heart, making his whole body tremble with fear. "Don't kill me, please don't, I don't want to die..."

  Hu Yi suddenly burst into tears, it seems that he is really afraid of death. A person like him, who has been bullying men and women in Ying City every day, living a life of luxury, would definitely not want to give it up. Shedding some tears is nothing, if it can save his life, he would even call Ye Chen "grandfather" without hesitation.

  But how could Ye Chen let him go, with his insult to Ye Yan enough to make Ye Chen want to take his life, not to mention that he was a scum, this kind of scum existing in the world would only pollute the air and corrupt the world, so he was doomed to die without a doubt.

  However, Ye Chen did not plan to kill him immediately. He walked slowly towards Hu Yifei, who was trembling and stuttering with fear, already scared to the point of tears and urine flowing together, a truly cowardly appearance.

  Hu Yi's eyes were filled with endless terror, several elders and the corpses of those seven-segment masters scattered on the ground, bloodstained, crimson, as Ye Chen stepped closer step by step, he was almost at the point of collapse.

  Suddenly, Hu Yifei shouted loudly, hysterically, as if he was mad: "Don't come over! You can't kill me, I am the young master of Wuying Gate, the only son of the gate owner. If you kill me, my father will not let you go, and will definitely exterminate your entire clan!"

  Ye Chen's face was expressionless, his eyes extremely cold, as he grasped Hu Yifei's hair in the midst of his frantic shouting and lifted him up directly, as if he weighed nothing at all, holding him in his hand, no matter how hard he struggled it was to no avail.

  "Aren't you thinking that your No Shadow Gate is very powerful? Relying on your own backstage support, you have been doing things that are devoid of conscience. Now I will take you to the No Shadow Gate and let you see clearly how vulnerable the backing you used to be proud of really is!"

  Ye Chen's voice was flat and emotionless, his words entering people's ears without a ripple, causing everyone to feel a sense of astonishment. The Shadowless Gate? Isn't that just asking for death? How many powerful warriors were there in the nine levels of the Shadowless Gate? Even the master of the gate, Hu Jia Wei, was unfathomable, and even the strongest families in Ying City wouldn't dare to provoke him easily. Yet now, he heard a young man say he wanted to go to the Shadowless Gate.

  Although Ye Chen's powerful and ruthless killing of the masters who came to Wuying Gate was strong, no one thought he could really provoke the entire Wuying Gate with just one person, this is simply a fantasy, like a myth.

  When Ye Chen said he wanted to take himself to Wuying Gate, Hu Yifei was taken aback, thinking he had misheard, and even forgot to cry out in protest. When he came back to his senses, the resentment and coldness in his eyes almost solidified into a tangible substance.

  "Little brat, as long as you dare to come to Wuying Gate, this young master will definitely flay and skin you alive, cutting you into a thousand pieces!" Hu Yifei thought coldly, stopping his struggle, with endless killing intent spreading in his heart.

  "Yan Jie, take Xian'er and them back to the inn first, I'll be right back, don't worry about me." Ye Chen said to Ye Yan.

  Ye Yan nodded and reminded Ye Chen: "You be careful."

  "I know." Ye Chen turned around and dragged Hu Yifei away with large strides, the crowd of onlookers automatically making way for them.

  As soon as Ye Chen's figure disappeared, people began to discuss it openly. Until this moment, some people still had pale faces, looking at the broken limbs and vomiting non-stop, their whole body trembling, as if cold wind had entered their bones.

  It's too terrifying, they have never seen anyone with such a ruthless hand in their lives, nor have they ever seen such a cruel Asura scene. This is simply a nightmare!

  The news spread quickly in Yingcheng, like a gust of wind, and in a short moment it had almost spread throughout half the city.

  Several big families in Ying City and the city lord's mansion, as well as various large and small forces, all heard about this matter and sent people to the scene to investigate.

  The general who was scared away by Ye Chen at the wine tower had just returned to the city lord's mansion and reported Ye Chen's matter, but soon another big news came, making that general's hair stand on end, cold sweat constantly rolling down his forehead, thinking of the scene at the wine tower with a lingering fear.

  He was extremely fortunate, if he had made a move against Ye Chen in the wine tower, then by now he would have been killed just like those people from Wú Yǐng Gate, truly a demon king, exactly as rumored.

  The castle owner, Fei Yun, furrowed his brow and looked at the crowd of subordinates, saying: "Let's just pretend this never happened. Our castle doesn't want to get involved, let Wuying Gate and Ye Chen fight each other to the death."

  Report!

  Just then, a urgent voice came from outside the main hall of the city master's mansion, "Report to the city master, the king's order has arrived!"

  "What?"

  Fei Yun and all the generals and officials were shocked, and they rushed out of the city gate. At this time, an imperial envoy walked quickly over, looked at Fei Yun and the others, cleared his throat, unfolded a silk cloth in his hand, and said: "The City Lord of Ying City, Fei Yun, receives the order!"

  "Long live our king! May he live forever!"

  Fei Yun and others all knelt down in worship.

  "The King of Chu decrees: Jiang Xingyun, the lord of Lincheng City, harbored treasonous intentions and fortunately was beheaded for his rebellion. The merits of the Ye family in Lincheng cannot be forgotten. Therefore, we specially appoint the head of the Ye family as the new lord of Lincheng City, confer upon Ye Xiaotian the title of First-Rank Marquis, and grant him a first-class official position. From now on, when defending the city, you must protect the Ye family at all costs, but if there is a need for deployment, follow orders accordingly; if there is any failure, the entire clan will be executed!"

  "What?"

  Fei Yun and others were stunned, completely stunned. The Ye family killed the lord of Lincheng, Jiang Xingyun. Not only did the King of Chu not order troops to be dispatched to punish them, but he even made excuses for them and instead gave the Ye family great credit, directly granting them a marquis title and a first-rank official position. This...this is simply...

  To know that Lincheng's city master is at most only fourth-grade, even Feiyun is only third-grade. The order of the King of Chu made Feiyun and others stand still in shock, for a long time without making any sound.

  "Fei Yun, are you not receiving the order?" The imperial envoy looked at Fei Yun and the others with a hint of disdain, saying: "Could it be that you have reservations about the King of Chu's decree?"

  "I dare not... I dare not... Your humble servant obeys your command." Fei Yun came back to his senses, filled with fear and trepidation, "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! May the Emperor live forever!"

  "Hmmph!"

  The imperial envoy let out a cold hum, handing the royal decree to Fei Yun's hands, reminding him: "Fei Yun, City Master, no matter what thoughts you have in your heart, but you must remember, the King of Chu's orders cannot be disobeyed, otherwise your nine clans will surely be slaughtered!"

  "Yes, yes!" Fei Yun wiped the cold sweat from his brow, put away the imperial edict, and stood up to say: "The Imperial Censor has had a long and tiring journey, I will have someone see to your refreshment. Please, sir, stay in our humble city for a few more days."

  "It's all right." The imperial envoy waved his hand and shook his head, saying: "I still have to rush back to the royal city immediately. The King of Chu is waiting for news and cannot be delayed."

  "Heh heh, since that's the case, I won't stay any longer either. Farewell, Inspector." Fei Yun said respectfully.

  As they watched the imperial envoy's figure disappear into the distance, everyone around Fei Yun had a look of shock and confusion on their faces. They looked at each other in bewilderment, seeing the deep incomprehension and doubt in each other's eyes.

  "The castle master, what should we do now?" A general looked at Fei Yun and said.

  "What's going on?" Fei Yun furrowed his brow and said somewhat absent-mindedly.

  "That Ye Chou of the Ye family isn't going to Wuying Gate at this time, is he? If something happens, we will be held responsible." The general said.

  Fei Yun was suddenly startled, and urgently said: "Quickly, quickly gather ten 9th segment peak experts from the City Master's mansion, and two half-step Ming Hai secret realm experts to follow this city master to Wuying Gate, quickly!"

  "Yes, Lord of the City!"

  The general immediately retreated, while Fei Yun's face was filled with anxiety, pacing back and forth outside the grand hall, revealing his urgent heart.

  Half a minute later, the general hurried back, "Lord of the city, all hands have been assembled!"

  "Come on, follow me to Wuying Gate!" Fei Yun hurriedly and impatiently rushed out in big strides, muttering to himself, "Ye Chuan of the Ye family, you absolutely cannot have any accidents, my entire family's lives are all tied to yours, what kind of thing is this?!"

  At this time, Ye Chen was completely unaware of the situation in the City Lord's Mansion and would never have thought that the King of Chu would actually let the Ye family become the temporary master of Lincheng, and even appointed Ye Xiao Tian as a first-class king.

  With a body trembling with rage and a heart filled with resentment and murderous intent, Hu Yifei strode towards the Gate of No Shadows.

  The Wuying Gate is located in the northern part of Yingcheng, this area is not very developed commercially, and it's relatively quiet. From a distance, Ye Chen saw a magnificent large courtyard, covering an area of several miles, like a small town, with walls over 10 meters high, and two stone lions at the gate, each about 5-6 meters tall, looking quite majestic.
