The Black Dragon Cult had sent only a handful of people, just over ten of them, as Yang Chen had predicted. Yu Feilong and another disciple were their entire force of young disciples dispatched this ti. Zhang Xing was not among them, as he was not a disciple of the Black Dragon Cult.
The Emperor’s treasures weren’t particularly tempting to these superpowers, but the temptation was there nonetheless. That was the reason the Black Dragon Cult hadn’t sent many powerful personnel, only a few disciples like Yu Feilong with moderate strength.
However, even so, they were quite intimidating.
The dozen or so mbers of the Black Dragon Cult stood there, putting so much pressure on both Sun Star City and Luoyun Main City that no one dared to say a word.
Yang Chen couldn’t help but feel so pressure building up inside him.
Because…
If the Black Dragon Cult were to investigate Yu Feilong’s cause of death, then Yu Feilong’s death would have been indirectly caused by him, Yang Chen.
Although he was confident that he would not expose any flaws, he feared that the Black Dragon Cult would investigate ticulously. If they really did a thorough investigation, there would be no such thing as a perfect cri in this world. What if the Black Dragon Cult pinned the bla on him? Could the Yuanshan Sect still protect him?
“Young Master, I dare not probe with my soul. There’s an Earth Martial Realm master among the Black Dragon Cult, and his soul attainnt is much higher than mine,” said Elder Yun Lu.
Yang Chen rubbed his eyebrows and sighed, “I understand.”
It seed that they could only leave this matter to fate. No one knew how the Black Dragon Cult would investigate.
At this mont, the elder at the head of the Black Dragon Cult stood with his hands behind him in mid-air, shouting, “What’s the matter, Luoyun Main City, and Yang Star Main City? Do you really think we Black Dragon Cult people are easy to talk to? Haha, other than the two of your combined forces attacking, who else could have killed our Black Dragon Cult disciples? Or do you know why Yu Feilong and the others still haven’t co out?”
“Black Scorpion Envoy, I swear on my life that this matter has absolutely nothing to do with us, Luoyun Main City. I’ve asked several tis, and our Luoyun Main City disciples haven’t seen your esteed disciple,” the person in charge of Luo Yun Main City said, swearing to the sky.
It wasn’t that they hadn’t seen him.
It was that they didn’t recognize him even if they had seen him. Who knew that Yu Feilong was from the Black Dragon Cult?
But could he say that?
Seeing that Luoyun Main City had made a statent, Yuan San from Yang Star Main City quickly stepped forward, “Black Scorpion Envoy, we in Yang Star Main City also dare to swear to the sky that this matter has absolutely nothing to do with us. As for Yu Feilong’s situation… We in Yang Star Main City can provide so clues.”
At this point, Yuan San hastily tried to put on a smiley face. There was no other way, as the Black Dragon Cult was too powerful for them to resist.
“Oh? Yuan San, what does your Yang Star Main City know?” the Black Scorpion Envoy asked.
Yuan San hurriedly replied with a flattering smile, “It’s like this. The Inner Area Assessnt that took place in Tiandu City, let explain it to you in detail.”
Thus, Yuan San carefully recounted what had happened.
“Among those who passed the five levels of the Tiandu Palace’s assessnt, there were only five people. Three of them had sothing to do with your esteed Black Dragon Cult. There was another nad Jiang Caiying, whose background you should be quite familiar with. The last was Yang Chen from the Yuanshan Sect,” Yuan San coughed and said.
While speaking, he subtly emphasized Yang Chen, his intentions clearly obvious.
Yang Star Main City couldn’t openly target Yang Chen, but the Black Dragon Cult could.
Let alone wiping out Yang Chen, they wouldn’t even hesitate to wipe out the entire Yuanshan Sect without letting anyone say a word.
“Jiang Caiying… i Xiuying’s disciple?” The Black Scorpion Envoy’s expression suddenly turned cold, causing even the surrounding air to change drastically along with it.
Many people shivered in fear, unable to resist the imposing aura of the Black Scorpion Envoy.
Yuan San was also taken aback and quickly said, “Black Scorpion Envoy, think about it. At that ti, only five people passed the fifth level and entered the second floor of the Tiandu Palace. However, both Yang Chen and Jiang Caiying ca out alive and well from the second floor of the Tiandu Palace, while only your Black Dragon Cult disciples… Envoy, isn’t everything crystal clear by now?”
Although Yuan San didn’t spell out his words, he had already pointed the finger at Yang Chen.
Having achieved his goal, Yuan San now secretly watched the Black Scorpion Envoy’s expression.
Of course, the Black Scorpion Envoy’s face wouldn’t be pleased.
“Jiang Caiying… i Xiuying’s disciple?” The Black Scorpion Envoy stood with his hands behind his back, thinking about i Xiuying, that madwoman, and could only put aside the investigation of Jiang Caiying for now.
Imdiately after, he shifted his gaze to Yang Chen from the Yuanshan Sect.
“Yang Chen!”
The Black Scorpion Envoy had a clear understanding of this famous Yang Chen.
Upon being seen by the Black Scorpion Envoy, Yang Chen’s heart clenched as he realized that the situation couldn’t be downplayed.
Cursing the Yang Star Main City people in his heart, Yang Chen knew that if it weren’t for the Yang Star Main City people stirring things up, the Black Scorpion Envoy wouldn’t have really targeted him. However, it was too late for any explanations, as the Black Dragon Cult mbers, led by the Black Scorpion Envoy, rushed to the Yuanshan Sect.
That massive pressure bore down, making it difficult for everyone in the Yuanshan Sect to breathe.
Only Mu Baisheng managed to squeeze out a few words, “Black Scorpion Envoy, what is the aning of this?”
“Wood Master, I just want to ask your disciple Yang Chen a few questions, don’t be nervous,” the Black Scorpion Envoy coldly replied.
He said not to be nervous, but with his oppressive aura, who wouldn’t be?
Earth Martial Realm, is this the pressure of the Earth Martial Realm?
No one could help but feel terrified, as the gap was too huge.
Soon, the Black Scorpion Envoy fixed his gaze on Yang Chen and spoke slowly, “Yang Chen, I want to ask you one thing. Do you know how the three people from my sect, Yu Feilong, died? Don’t tell you don’t know. You must have all been inside the second floor of the Tiandu Palace.”
Seeing the Black Scorpion Envoy approaching, Yang Chen cursed Yuan San in his heart. He knew that he had to not only show his innocence in this matter, but do so perfectly, or else the Black Scorpion Envoy might have him killed on the spot.
He thought quickly, the cold sweat dripping from his forehead, and swiftly said, “They were killed by the prohibitions left behind by the Tiandu Emperor.”
“What do you an?” asked the Black Scorpion Envoy.
“The Tiandu Emperor left many treasures in the second floor of the Tiandu Palace, but there were prohibitions surrounding the treasures. Yu Feilong and the others seed not to believe in the Emperor’s authority and challenged it, ultimately being killed by these prohibitions,” Yang Chen said respectfully, “I witnessed the entire process.”
The Black Scorpion Envoy narrowed his eyes, “Are you certain your words are true? Are you sure this matter has nothing to do with you?”
As he spoke, the Black Scorpion Envoy’s oppressive aura on Yang Chen intensified even further.
