C53 The Lord's Manor Which Was Filled with Undercurrents
Ji Chen flicked his finger continuously. One after another, the fire seedlings lit up the corpses. Soon, they became human-shaped torches. When Ji Chen left, there were only traces of ashes and green smoke left.
After leaving the Star Sea Sect, the winged pegasus flew at full speed. It could not only run but also fly. It spread its wings and flew against the wind, flying close to the ground. Its speed was as fast as a speeding bolt!
Ji Chen returned to his hometown and took out a few talismen that increased his speed. He gave it to the pegasus as fast as lightning. Mountains, rivers, plains, and plains quickly retreated under his feet.
It only took two days and two nights to travel more than a hundred thousand miles. When the sun rose on the third day, an ancient city appeared in front of him. This was the Fire Cloud City!
In the huge Qin Empire, the Fire Cloud City was only a small city, but it also had a territory with a radius of a thousand miles. Millions of residents were bustling with noise and excitement.
Ji Chen came with a pair of fresh clothes and a furious horse. Although he was worn out, he did not look tired at all. Even the pegasus became extremely excited and energetic after getting fed a few pills. He arrived in front of the City Lord's Mansion.
Although there were four big families in the Fire Cloud City, namely Gao, Liu, Guan and Sun. However, the true ruler was still the City Lord's Mansion, and it was also the City Lord, Ji Tiandou. Therefore, Ji Chen's family was like a sky in the Fire Cloud City!
Ji Chen was familiar with the buildings, trees, flowers, and even pedestrians on the street. He smiled and got off the horse to the door. What made him angry was that he was stopped.
The guards of City Lord's Mansion at the door actually stopped him, the young city master. He had not come back for half a year, but the eight guards at the door had changed and were very rude to him!
"How dare you! I, Ji Chen, am the young city lord, how dare you stop me?" Ji Chen said angrily, wanting them to retreat.
However, these people did not have any intention to step aside. Instead, they looked at Ji Chen with a playful expression. The leader of the guards looked at Ji Chen and said, "Wait, I will go and inform them!"
What? He had to report when he entered his own house? He still had to wait? Could it be that you have eaten too much dog shit and become silly from eating too much?
Ji Chen narrowed his eyes and revealed a dangerous expression. "I am the young city lord Ji Chen. You dare to stop me?"
"Enough, stop shouting. I know you are the young city lord, just a weak chicken who has crippled himself! What are you pretending to be a big shot for? Tch!"
That guard was very impatient and said with contempt, "The young city lord also needs to wait here, wait for me to report!"
"What a lowly servant! You are asking for a beating!"
Ji Chen saw that the guard was not someone who would swallow his anger, so he immediately became angry. He kicked the guard to the ground and threw the melon seeds away as if they were free.
"How dare you! Do you really think of yourself as the young city lord?"
"How dare you hit the captain? Brothers, beat him up!"
"A mere trash. When the Great Elder becomes the city lord, he will be worse than a beggar!"
The remaining seven men drew their sabers and slashed at Ji Chen's face. Judging from their ruthless attitudes, they were going to kill Ji Chen!
"What the hell!"
Ji Chen was furious. This was the fury of a conqueror. The seven swords were burned by the flames and turned into iron juices.
The arms of each of the seven people holding sabers were burned into ashes. It was as if they had arrived at the scene of a large pig being slaughtered. All kinds of miserable screams resounded through the sky!
Ji Chen waved his hand casually. Every flame turned into a short sword, and with a swoosh, it pierced through everyone's Dantian. Each of these eight people's Dantian had been pierced through, and all of their cultivations had been crippled!
"Answer my question. You said you wanted to report, but who did you report to?" Ji Chen's eyes were cold as he stared at the guard captain who had been slapped into a pig's head.
The captain of the guards was beaten until he cried. His face was swollen and his eyes were filled with stars. "It's the Great Elder. Let me go. It's the Great Elder!"
Ji Chen coldly harrumphed. He kicked open the door and rode his horse into the City Lord's Mansion. The scenery in the City Lord's Mansion was still familiar, but there was a strange feeling of unfamiliarity from both inside and outside.
The maids and guards that he met along the way were all changed. The familiar faces had all disappeared and replaced with some unfamiliar faces.
These people seemed to know Ji Chen, but they didn't show any respect to him. Apart from sneering, they showed disdain. Some even showed pity on Ji Chen, making him unhappy.
"It seems like this Mid-Autumn Festival won't stop."
When Ji Chen tied the horse, he was surprised to find that the old butler of his family, who had been working for decades, had become a coachman and lived a miserable life. He was immediately angry!
The current City Lord's Mansion was strange, and there was something unusual going on inside and outside. It could be said that there was an undercurrent!
"Could something have happened to dad? Great Elder, what kind of plot do you have!?"
Ji Chen asked the old butler to inform Ji Tiandou. He went straight to the central meeting room and sat on the main seat, waiting for someone to make a move.
The Ji family, the City Lord of Fire Cloud City, had been in charge for hundreds of years. Apart from the City Lord who held great power, the powerful existences had also formed an Elder Council. There were a total of seven Elders. They had great power and could even keep the City Lord in check.
The maids who were walking around in the hall looked at Ji Chen in surprise. There was a strange look on her charming face. To be more precise, it was a faint mocking look, which was both inside and outside.
After almost the time it took to make a cup of tea, Ji Tiandou did not come. Instead, a middle-aged man with triangular eyes who was wearing armor appeared in the hall. He was a Layer 10 warrior. Judging from his attire, he should be the commander of the guards of City Lord's Mansion!
This guard commander was also a newcomer. However, Ji Chen knew him. He was the trusted subordinate of the Great Elder. It seemed like something big had happened in City Lord's Mansion, and everything that had happened had something to do with the Great Elder!
"Ji Chen, how dare you injure the guards and barge into City Lord's Mansion!" The triangle-eyed commander's face was filled with anger, and he scolded Ji Chen, "Come with me, and get eight hundred whips as punishment!"
"Who do you think you are!" Ji Chen was even more arrogant than him. He humiliated Ji Chen as soon as he opened his mouth. "But you are a slave of Ji family. You are just like a dog. How dare you be so arrogant to me? Come, kneel down and bark like a dog!"
The triangular-eyed commander hated people calling him a dog slave the most. Although he was the Great Elder's sh * t-licking dog, no one could say that he had done it. That was why he was furious!
" Little bastard, you dare to humiliate me? I really did treat you as a meal. Today, this commander will cut off your tongue. Let's see how you are going to spout nonsense!"
The guard commander withdrew his saber as soon as he spoke, and he stomped his feet as he prepared to make a move. His expression was ferocious, yet he attacked very casually. After all, in his opinion, it was merely a crippled Mortal Martial Ant, so was there a need for him to be serious?
After that, he suffered a tragedy. A golden whip arrived first after being struck, and the sound of space being torn resounded throughout the hall. He was muddle-headed from being struck by the golden whip, and his soul was trembling and in pain. He was practically unable to control his own body. This was a strange whip!
"Just because of what you just said, this young master can take your life. Dog slave, do you really not know who gave you your own flesh and bones? You even dare to bite the owner, damn it!"
Not only did Ji Chen speak very loudly, but he also made his move very quickly. The Big Dipper Sword appeared in his hand, bringing with it a golden astral blade. With a puff sound, one of the arms of the guard commander was cut off!
Blood splashed out, and miserable howls rang out. It was extremely unpleasant to hear.
"A dog is a dog, so noisy!" Ji Chen's eyes flashed, and with a swing of his blade, he slapped the triangular eye to the ground, causing it to spit out three liters of blood. Even its hard armor was flattened. With a flash of light, half of its tongue fell to the ground.
This time, the triangular-shaped eye's screams became muffled. Ji Chen keenly sensed something. Many pairs of eyes were looking at him from all directions, and at this moment, there was a different kind of shock on their faces!
"Stop, stop! How dare you attack the young city lord? Do you still have any respect for the young city lord? Retreat!"
Hearing the screams, a tall and sturdy old man with white hair and beard walked into the hall. He looked at Ji Chen who was still intact in the hall and then looked at the triangular-shaped eyes that were rolling on the ground. He was dumbfounded.
The old man was about to curse. What the hell was this? It was different from the script he had set up. Didn't they say that you would beat him half to death and humiliate him?
I will sing again with a red face. I will take this matter lightly and slap the face of the city lord. Why is it you who is half-dead now!
"Great Elder, you are very well-informed." Ji Chen didn't show any politeness to this elder of his grandfather's generation. "But you might be disappointed. Look, I am still fine!"
The Great Elder was too shrewd. The awkwardness only lasted for a moment. In the blink of an eye, he put on a grateful expression. "It's good that you are fine. You are the only son of Tiandu. If something were to happen to you, how would I explain it to him?"
"A dog slave like this who doesn't care about his age has to be taught a lesson so that he doesn't know what hierarchy is! Someone, bring him out!"
"No need to be busy!" Ji Chen waved his hand, and the blood-stained large blade fell to the ground with a clang. "This dog slave wants to kill me, but it's a capital offense, so I want him to die!"
The Great Elder's face turned green and white. Obviously, he was in a battle of heart and energy. Finally, he smiled bitterly and said, "This is not good. After all, he has worked for our family for so many years. His contributions are equal to ours. Let him live!"
"Merit cannot be matched! If you want to kill me, you have to die!" Ji Chen walked over and the blade hung on the neck of the devil. "Great Elder, what do you think?"
The triangle-eyed man desperately gave the Great Elder a look. He meant that he wanted to save him. Otherwise, how could I be the one to stand up for him? Wasn't it just to curry favor with you? You have to save me!
Unfortunately, the Great Elder did not pay attention to the look in his eyes. Ji Chen smiled coldly. A human head started to roll around under his blade. Suddenly, the reception hall became bloody and pungent!
"Ding! Decisive killing! Overlord must not be afraid of anyone! Medium degree of dominance, Dominant Power increased by 20 points! Ding! Determined killing! Overlord must not be afraid of anyone! Medium level of dominance, Dominant Power increased by 20 points!"
Ji Chen sneered. He never needed to hesitate to kill a dog like this!
"How dare you, Ji Chen! You are too arrogant! The commander of the guards in City Lord's Mansion was extremely important. Even if he was in the wrong, he would have to be judged by the elders before making a decision. You can't kill him just because you want to. What? Do you think you have more dignity than the Elders Guild?"
A tall, thin, and mean old man walked in. This was the Second Elder, who was in charge of the Ji family's rules and regulations. He had already put a huge hat on Ji Chen the moment he came out.
"No wonder you made me kill this dog so quickly. It turns out that you are waiting for me here." Ji Chen stared at the Second Elder with a smile on his face. "I have already killed the man. What do you want to do with me, Second Elder?"
