Chapter 5255 Don’t Leave



Gongsun Zhen took his men away.

Compared with yesterday, the loss is greater as more people died.

The law enforcement officer came back and said that he had checked the surrounding area and found nothing unusual.

There was not even a trace of fighting, and the people staring at Xiao Chen seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

Zhao Cangqiong looked at Xiao Chen, who had an innocent expression on his face and said he didn't know either.

For a moment, Zhao Cangqiong couldn't tell whether he was really unclear or pretending to be unclear.

There is no evidence to prove that the disappearance of the stalker is related to Xiao Chen.

Of course, even if there is evidence to prove that he is related, the City Lord's Mansion will not do anything except Gongsun Zhen seeking revenge.

The rule of Sifang City is that you cannot use force in the city, but that does not mean you cannot kill people.

Especially among practitioners, as long as it does not affect others and does not attract the attention of law enforcement officers, then there is nothing to worry about.

"Let's go to the City Lord's Mansion first."

Zhao Cangqiong looked at Xiao Chen and said.

"You shouldn't have angered Gongsun Zhen."

"Declare war? Haha, even if I don't declare war, he won't let me go, right?"

Xiao Chen smiled.

"I'm the only one who got up today. If I got up later, he would have to lock me in bed... He's bullying me like this, do I need to give him face?"

"That's right, it's too much."

Zhao Yuanji chimed in.

"Shut up, go back and face the wall for three days, and don't go out!"

Zhao Cangqiong stared.

"oh."

Zhao Yuanji lowered his head.

"Third brother, I was the one who led Xiao Ji to do it just now..."

Zhao Ritian wanted to plead for Zhao Yuanji.

"You also go back and face the wall for three days!"

Zhao Cangqiong continued to stare.

"What?"

Zhao Ritian was stunned for a moment, but after looking around, he didn't say anything.

In front of so many people, he had to give face to his third brother... After all, his third brother was the city lord.

"Thank you, seniors..."

Xiao Chen looked at Ji Wuji and others and bowed.

He knew very well that it would be difficult for Zhao Cangqiong to make a decision or force Gongsun Zhen to retreat by himself.

“We didn’t do anything.”

Ji Wuji shook his head.

"There's nothing we can do next."

"Haha, no matter what, thank you all, seniors."

Xiao Chen smiled, said a few more words, and then followed Zhao Cangqiong to the City Lord's Mansion.

"If we weren't afraid that the Holy Heaven Sect would take advantage of the situation to cause chaos, we really shouldn't be involved in this matter."

Ji Wuji looked at Xiao Chen's back and said slowly.

"He is too strong. If Gongsun Zhen wants to kill him, he will have to pay a price... If that old guy dies, our four-party alliance will be in turmoil, which is not good for anyone."

Huai Tianlei nodded.

"I hope Gongsun Zhen can understand our good intentions."

"Gongsun Zhen is now thinking about killing Chen Xiao to eliminate future troubles... He doesn't think about so much."

Ji Wuji shook his head.

"As long as Chen Xiao is alive, he will be a threat not only to Gongsun Zhen but also to Shanhai Tower."

"Not really? How can a person like you, one of the second-level masters, be threatened by a genius?"

Huai Tianlei frowned.

"It's not just a genius, there's also the Three Realms Mountain behind him... He was able to cultivate such a powerful genius, do you know who's standing behind him?"

Ji Wuji finished speaking and turned to leave.

"I hope Zhao Cangqiong can let Chen Xiao leave as soon as possible so that we can focus on the Shengtian Sect."

"Everyone who was watching him disappeared. It's a bit scary. Will this guy leave next?"

Huai Tianlei muttered to himself, looked around, called over one of his men, and gave him a few instructions.

On the other side, Xiao Chen arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, sat down and drank a sip of tea.

"You've declared war on Gongsun Laogou. It's not easy for us to intervene in what happens next."

Lu Hongyun sat next to him and said.

“As long as there is no major battle in Sifang City, even Zhao Cangqiong won’t have much to say.”

"That's right."

Zhao Cangqiong nodded.

"I know."

Xiao Chen put down the teacup.

"City Lord Zhao, Senior Lu, you have helped me a lot... Next, it's about Gongsun Zhen and I. I know what to do."

"Like I said, the Holy Heaven Sect is watching closely. If a major conflict breaks out between you, the Holy Heaven Sect might take the opportunity to cause trouble..."

Zhao Cangqiong frowned.

"If... I mean, if something happens to Gongsun Zhen, then the Four-Party Alliance will definitely be in turmoil, and other forces will not miss the opportunity to take over Sifang City, such as Qingyun Tower! By then, Sifang City will be in complete chaos! Therefore, no matter whether it is me, Ji Wuji, or Huai Tianlei, we don't want Gongsun Zhen to get into trouble."

"You mean, I should let Gongsun Zhen live?"

Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows.

“…”

Zhao Cangqiong and Lu Hongyun were both speechless. Why are you so confident?

Just relying on you alone, oh, and with a follower, do you have the confidence to kill Gongsun Zhen?

"Not really, right? Gongsun Zhen is dead, but there is still Shanhai Tower. The four forces in Sifang City are Shanhai Tower, not the Gongsun family..."

Xiao Chen said again.

"Gongsun Zhen's death will lead to disputes? How can Shanhailou give up its control over this place?"

"We will not give up, but with the Holy Heaven Sect around, if a dispute arises, it will not benefit Sifang City at all, and will also affect the interests of the three parties."

Zhao Cangqiong was quite serious.

"Understood."

Xiao Chen nodded.

"I have a suggestion. You should leave Sifang City as soon as possible... Now that the people who were watching you have disappeared, Gongsun Zhen will be a little hesitant if he wants to send someone to watch you again. After all, the number of foundation building masters is limited."

Zhao Cangqiong said.

"I can also help you leave safely and prevent Gongsun Zhen from doing anything to you, so we can avoid disputes."

"Let me leave?"

Xiao Chen looked at Zhao Cangqiong and frowned slightly.

"Leaving is the best option now."

Lu Hongyun also said.

"My dear Chen, I am on your side. You can put aside the gains and losses, especially your face, for now... Leave first, and come back when you are sure of yourself."

“…”

Zhao Cangqiong glared at Lu Hongyun. Could he say something useful?

Why come back again?

Kill Gongsun Zhen?

Wouldn't that still be messy?

"Old Zhao, what do you think if my Invincible Realm takes over Sifang City?"

Lu Hongyun said with a smile.

"Kick Shanhailou out."

"Are you crazy?"

Zhao Cangqiong slammed the table.

"Look at you, you don't know how to be funny... I was just joking."

After Lu Hongyun finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Chen.

"Anyway, I think it's best if you leave for now."

"I appreciate the kindness of City Lord Zhao and Senior Lu."

Xiao Chen thought about it and declined.

He hasn't figured out the origin of the broken sword yet, and then he has to wait for Xiao Sheng to find him.

He would not leave Sifang City until he had completed at least one thing.

Without the last piece of the sword, even if he got the Xuanyuan Sword, he probably wouldn't be able to obtain the inheritance of Emperor Xuanyuan.

The current development of the situation is similar to what he had previously considered.

It's nothing more than a conflict with Gongsun Zhen, which has been exposed, increasing his own danger.

Since he dared to come to Tianwai Tian, he didn't care about the danger.

"Um?"

Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Zhao Cangqiong and Lu Hongyun were stunned. Are they not planning to leave?

"Chen Xiao, why are you staying in Sifang City? Is there anything else?"

Zhao Cangqiong really couldn't understand why he wanted to stay when he was in such a dangerous situation.

Unless... he is really a member of the Holy Heaven Sect and wants to destabilize Sifang City.

"I came out this time just to make a name for myself in Tianwai Tian. Now that it has paid off, wouldn't it be a pity to just leave like this?"

Xiao Chen smiled.

His words were half true and half false.

"Besides, I still have some things to do in Sifang City that I haven't finished yet."

Without waiting for Zhao Cangqiong to speak, Xiao Chen continued.

"I want to know the origins of the items I bought at the auction. I've asked President Li, but the person who sent them hasn't arrived yet... Also, I heard that the famous actress in the Wenqing Building in Sifang City is extremely beautiful. I haven't met her yet, but I want to go and see her."

"???"

Listening to Xiao Chen's words, everyone looked strange.

The above reasons are reasonable.

What the hell is this last one?

Meet the famous actress in the Love Tower?

Are you willing to risk your life for this?

Isn’t this too much?

"Xiao Ji told me that he would take me to see it tonight. How could I leave Sifang City at this time?"

Xiao Chen looked at Zhao Yuanji with a smile.

"To be honest, my Three Realms Mountain is mostly populated by men, and there aren't many young and beautiful women... It's not so bad now, but when I first came out, I saw the flying pigs and thought they were pretty."

"???"

Zhao Yuanji's face twitched. I did say that, but you don't have to say it in front of my grandfather, right?

Zhao Cangqiong glanced at his grandson and asked, "Go to the Qing Tower to see the famous actor?"

"Well, just going to have a drink."

Zhao Yuanji coughed dryly.

"Go ask what's in the Love Building. Xiaoji isn't a child anymore."

Zhao Ritian said.

"City Lord Zhao, I know you're worried. Don't worry, I won't cause too much turmoil in Sifang City."

Xiao Chen looked at Zhao Cangqiong and said.

"I will leave Sifang City after I finish my work... I promise you, as long as Gongsun Zhen doesn't bother me again, I won't take the initiative to attack you. How about that?"

"All right."

Zhao Cangqiong saw that Xiao Chen had already made a decision, so he didn't say anything more.

He now regarded Xiao Chen as someone of the same level and no longer regarded him as an ordinary genius.

"I will not initiate a battle like today in Sifang City."

Xiao Chen said again.

"I appreciate City Lord Zhao's kindness to me, and I will not cause any trouble to City Lord Zhao."

"Well, I will talk to Gongsun Zhen again next time."

Zhao Cangqiong nodded.

"As for what we talked about last night, how to deal with the Holy Heaven Sect... the person who was watching you disappeared inexplicably, so we can only let him go for the time being."

"It's really surprising that so many people disappeared inexplicably."

Xiao Chen frowned, looking serious.

"Could it be that the Holy Heaven Cult did something?"

"Holy Heaven Sect? Why would they do this?"

Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Zhao Cangqiong raised his eyebrows.

"I haven't figured out why they did this yet, but looking around Sifang City, how many people can make so many people disappear without a sound? Apart from Shengtian Sect, there should be a few big forces, right? For example, Shanhai Tower, they have the most people watching me, so it is not impossible for them to make other people disappear."

Xiao Chen said seriously.

No matter what, let's put the blame on Shengtian Sect or Shanhai Tower first.

Anyway, it wasn't him who did it.
