C124 Retreating Is the Best Way to Go Forward

After entering Yuzhou City, Chen Chuan, Wu Haotian, and Qi Feiyang stayed in the inn.

However, when they walked downstairs the next morning, they heard the shop owner talking about what had happened on the city wall last night.

Only now did Chen Chuan know that the red-haired man he had injured last night was actually the younger brother of the city lord of Yuan Zhou City, Long Xiaotian.

He heard that Long Xiaotian was seriously injured and was currently looking for a famous doctor in Yuan Zhou City to treat him.

After Long Xiaotian was injured, Long Xiaotian was very angry. He had already sent a large number of subordinates to the city to capture the murderer who injured Long Xiaotian.

Wu Haotian and Qi Feiyang also heard the discussion of the shop assistants. Both of their faces were filled with worry.

"Sect Master, the City Master of Yuan Zhou City has already sent people to capture us. Should we leave?"

Chen Chuan's expression was calm. He picked up the tea on the table and slowly took a sip.

"We should settle down now that we have arrived. We have spent so much effort to enter Yuan Zhou City. We can't just leave."

His answer made Wu Haotian and Qi Feiyang even more confused.

"But... this is Long Xiaohu's territory after all. We injured his younger brother. He definitely won't let us go."

Chen Chuan smiled. "Are you two scared? If you two are really scared, you can take Si Nanyi to find the ore vein first. I will cover for you here.

Wu Haotian and Qi Feiyang saw his serious expression and did not seem to be joking. They immediately replied to Chen Chuan with guilt, "Sect Master, you are worrying too much. Since the two of us have come with Sect Master, we are not cowards!"

Seeing the two of them speaking with blood boiling, Chen Chuan nodded his head in satisfaction.

After breakfast, Chen Chuan brought Wu Haotian and Qi Feiyang out of the inn and prepared to take a stroll in the city of Yuan Zhou.

However, they had just arrived at the market. The originally lively crowd suddenly turned pale when they saw the three of them.

Soon after, a red smoke appeared in the sky above them.

Not long after, a group of knights wearing armor and masks walked towards them.

Chen Chuan and the others were stunned. They did not expect Long Xiaohu to be so fast. He had come to find them now.

Long Xiaohu's men surrounded Chen Chuan and the other two.

"It was you three brats who killed my brother?" Long Xiaohu rode a red horse and walked in front of them.

He sat high on the horse and looked down at them with an angry look in his eyes.

Chen Chuan raised his eyes and looked at Long Xiaohu. He was wearing a black brocade robe and a mink fur cloak on his back. He looked like an old man.

He didn't expect Long Xiaotian to be so young. Long Xiaotian was actually so old. Chen Chuan muttered in his heart.

Seeing that Long Xiaotian had brought many subordinates this time, Chen Chuan did not plan to confront him head on.

He walked forward with a faint smile on his face. He bowed to Long Xiaohu.

"Dragon City Lord, this is a huge misunderstanding. How could I possibly kill your younger brother?"

Seeing Chen Chuan pretending to be innocent, Long Xiaohu coldly harrumphed and said, "You are about to die, yet you still refuse to admit it. When I catch you later, I will pull out all the teeth in your mouth!"

Seeing how arrogant Long Xiaohu was, Chen Chuan snorted in his heart. Then, he opened the system, wanting to investigate Long Xiaohu's background.

Soon, all of Long Xiaohu's information appeared on the system screen.

The system displayed that Long Xiaohu's cultivation level had already reached the Core Formation realm.0

So that was how it was. No wonder this old man was so arrogant. Looks like he still has some skills! Chen Chuan muttered in his heart.

However, Long Xiaohu had already reached the Core Formation stage, so the chances of winning against him were still rather small.

Thinking of this, Chen Chuan couldn't help but feel worried in his heart.

Now that Long Xiaohu had the advantage in numbers, coupled with his strength being on par with him, if they really fought, he didn't know if they would be able to break out of the tight encirclement.

Since that was the case, it was better to retreat in order to advance.

As Chen Chuan thought of this, his face was still calm as he looked at Long Xiaohu with a smile.

"City Lord, you said that we killed your brother. I heard that the City Lord's brother, Long Xiaotian, has unparalleled martial arts and great strength. How could we have the ability to kill him?" Chen Chuan purposely pretended to be innocent and said.

Wu Haotian and Qi Feiyang did not expect Chen Chuan to bow down to Long Xiaotian. This was not his style. They did not know what he was up to.

Seeing Chen Chuan's fawning look, the anger in Long Xiaohu's heart gradually subsided a little.

Hearing Chen Chuan's words, He slowly regained his senses. Indeed, he didn't see with his own eyes that Chen Chuan and the others had killed Long Xiaotian.

Seeing that Long Xiaotian's expression gradually eased a little, Chen Chuan continued, "If Sect Master does not mind, we will find a way to help Sect Master find the murderer of Deputy Sect Master."

What Chen Chuan did not expect was that although Long Xiaohu's skills were profound, he was a simple-minded person. He actually believed what he said.

At this moment, he was secretly delighted. He was truly an idiot. He had been fooled by just a few words.

"Sect Master, that day, we were at the city wall. It was the three of them who climbed up the city wall and heavily injured Sect Master Aotian." However, the guards of Chen Lou couldn't bear to look at them that day. They immediately went up to Long Xiaohu and said.

Chen Chuan smirked when he saw the hatred in the guard's eyes. It seemed like there was someone beside Long Xiaohu who had a clear mind.

However, even if he said so, Chen Chuan wouldn't admit it even if he was beaten to death.

"Sect Master, Ye Heifeng is a tall man. I think this general must have seen wrongly. Sect Master, don't worry. I will bring my two disciples with me. We'll search the city, and if we see anyone suspicious, we'll capture them. "Send them to Sect Master. We cannot tolerate the murderer who harmed the Deputy Sect Master!" Chen Chuan purposely showed an angry look. He said it with a straight face.

Wu Haotian and Qi Feiyang lowered their heads and secretly laughed. They had never thought that Chen Chuan's acting skills would be so brilliant.

Looking at Chen Chuan's cynical look, Long Xiaohu nodded, then instructed his subordinates beside him, "We're on the same side. Hurry up and put away your weapons."

Although some of the guards who knew Chen Chuan were reluctant, they didn't dare disobey Long Xiaohu's orders. They had no choice but to drop their weapons.

Seeing them throw away their armor and armor, Chen Chuan was secretly surprised. He didn't expect that he would destroy Long Xiaohu's power without any effort.
