Genius Daddy in the City

Border Dragon City led to Northern City.

Ye Chen carried the little girl and walked to the Xiao clan’s residence. Along the way, he saw many other members of the ancient clans, such as the Duan clan, Lin clan, Huang clan, and other ancient clans.

“Keep coming, the more the better!” Coldness emerged in the depths of Ye Chen’s calm eyes.

The reason why he did not kill his way into the Xiao clan immediately was because he wanted to make use of the Xiao clan’s birthday celebration to lure the remaining members of the four ancient clans over as much as possible. This way, he would avoid alarming the other ancient clans after destroying the Xiao clan.

Just as they reached the entrance to the Northern City, the city gates were suddenly closed. A figure descended from the sky and landed not far from them.

It was the Border Dragon City’s City Governor, Nie Yuan. After making up his mind, he followed the old man’s clue and chased Ye Chen all the way here.

Nie Yuan lifted his head and looked at Ye Chen with a grim expression, “Brat, hand the girl in your hand to me. I’ll keep your dead body in one piece!”

“Keep my dead body in one piece?”

Ye Chen’s gaze turned cold, “City Governor Nie, there’s no enmity between us, right? Why are you doing this?”

Boom…

Nie Yuan did not say anything else. He flashed after scoffing and grabbed at Ye Chen immediately. He had already made up his mind. Now that there were so many people in Border Dragon City, he could take this opportunity to kill Ye Chen.

“You’re courting death!”

Ye Chen did not move at all. When he was about to approach him, he suddenly grabbed his neck and lifted him into the air, “I have to say, you’re very unfortunate!”

“W-Who are you?” Nie Yuan’s eyes widened in shock.

He was a top-notch martial venerable. Even the ordinary disciples of the three sects and four groups were no match for him. However, he could not fight Ye Chen at all.

His heart sank completely. He finally realized that Ye Chen was not as simple as he thought.

Ye Chen pressed his palm on the top of his head and performed the Soul Searching Tactic forcefully. He smiled coldly a few seconds later, “It’s terrible enough that you’re raising a ghost on your own, how dare you target my daughter?!”

A head flew into the air.

Ye Chen waved his sleeve. A blood-colored flag on the city gate flew over and covered the head.

“I’m missing a birthday gift for the Xiao clan. Your head is perfect!” Ye Chen carried the head and entered Northern City.

…

In the middle of Northern City, in an extremely luxurious and majestic residence, people were currently moving about, making it seem very lively. Countless powerhouses from all places gathered.

The clamorous noise, firecrackers and congratulatory voices could be heard. They soared into the sky and spread far away, almost covering the entire Border Dragon City.

Almost everyone in Border Dragon City, from the City Governor’s Mansion to the peddlers, knew that today was the Xiao clan’s patriarch’s 200th birthday!

As the master of Border Dragon City, the Xiao clan had been in charge of city for nearly a thousand years. In addition, as one of the 12 ancient clans, they had long shaken the entire Kunlun Ruins. Even the three sects and four groups had to send people over to congratulate them on the patriarch’s birthday.

On a huge plaza inside the mansion, seats were erected. At this moment, there were important and influential people from the Kunlun Ruins. And at the entrance of the main entrance, there were still countless people coming with birthday gifts.

“The birthday banquet has already begun, so why hasn’t the Xiao clan’s patriarch come out yet? Could it be that he doesn’t dare to show because of the death of the seven supreme paragons of the seven high sects?”

“Heh, according to the news I received, the patriarch seemed to have suffered serious injuries a few days ago. I don’t know why he suddenly wanted to hold a 200-year-old birthday celebration!”

“What? The patriarch is injured? That can’t be. He’s an old monster at the Emperor Stage! He’s powerful even among the seven high sects.”

Countless gazes conversed within the huge plaza. Occasionally, they would secretly size up the huge seats belonging to the ten high sects. Whispers also echoed.

The faces of the people from the ten high sects were all cold. No one could tell what they were thinking.

Dong…

Amidst the clamor of the place, an earth-shaking bell suddenly rang out. The entire plaza immediately became quiet as numerous gazes simultaneously shot towards the seats.

Under many gazes, an old voice slowly appeared. It was the patriarch of the Xiao clan, Xiao Wuming.

The patriarch swept his gaze over the crowd, and a faint smile appeared on his slightly aged face, “Since everyone is able to attend this old man’s birthday celebration today, I will first thank everyone here!”

Many people immediately stood up, clasped their fists, and returned the greeting. Everyone knew that the Xiao clan’s patriarch was the leader of the five ancient clans. Even the ten high sects had sent people over.

In the crowd, Luo Shuiyao Yao stared coldly at the patriarch, “Didn’t Grandpa San say that this old thing was severely injured? Why can’t I see any signs of injury?”

“It might be fake news!”

Beside her, Luo Tianya secretly frowned. For some reason, he realized that the Xiao clan’s patriarch gave him an extremely uneasy feeling.

After a round of pleasantries, an old man suddenly stood up from the seat reserved for the ten high sects and said, “Brother Xiao, my Spirit Talisman Sect’s Tuoba Long died outside your Border Dragon City. Shouldn’t you give me an explanation?”

“It’s the Spirit Talisman Sect’s sect master!”

Everyone was shocked when they saw the old man’s face.

Just as the patriarch was about to speak, another person stood up and said, “And Daoist Son Zong Rui of our Dao Sect!”

“And our Ghoul Sect’s young master, Jiu Ying!”

“And our Evil Sect’s Pink Prince…”

“…”

In an instant, the representatives of Star Sect, Spirit Talisman Sect, Dao Sect, Devil Sect, Ghoul Sect, and Witchcraft Sect stood up to question him.

Only the members of the Sword Sect and the Corpse Sect remained silent, as if they were watching a good show.

Seeing the seven high sects spoke together, the expressions of the other guests froze. They all held their breaths, not daring to interrupt.

Xiao clan’s patriarch inhaled a deep breath of air. He immediately smiled faintly and said, “Everyone, this old man has already ordered people to investigate this matter. I will definitely give you an explanation!

“However, before that, I would like to make use of this birthday celebration to announce a piece of news to everyone from the ten high sects and the various sects of the Kunlun Ruins!”

After saying that, he suddenly waved his hand. Immediately after, a few people from the Xiao clan carried a huge metal cage and slowly walked over.

Everyone could not help but look over, only to see three people inside the metal cage. Their limbs were shackled, and they accepted everyone’s gazes with blank expressions.

“What is this? People? Some pitiful, weak people?!”

“Why is the Xiao clan’s patriarch showing us this?”

In an instant, a wave of discussion arose in the enormous square, whereas Luo Shuiyao’s pretty face within the crowd changed, “Brother, why are they here?”

Luo Tianya’s eyes also narrowed slightly as he realized that the three people in the cage were Yuan Qitai and the rest.

The three of them had been lucky enough to return to China after they had boarded the ghost ship with them. However, they disappeared afterward.

Nobody expected them to be here today.
