Chapter four hundred and eighty fourth: on the cusp
"My young master saved you, it has nothing to do with us." Fei Qier said in a calm tone.
"If my young master is unhappy, he can throw you out at any time. Just wait for the monks from the Henggu Sect to take you back." Fei Jiaer warned in a threatening tone.
Ma Xiaochao turned away awkwardly and thanked the frowning Zheng Chen.
"Tell me how you got into trouble with the Henggu Sect." Zheng Chen said after accepting Ma Xiaochao's thanks.
Ma Xiaochao seemed to be very angry when this matter was mentioned, and said bitterly: "Originally, the treasures we bought in Wanfu Juli were all resold to several Henggu Sect stores in Tianyuan City. We have always been very happy to cooperate with them.
Okay. But, this time they obviously set a trap for us."
"Oh? How do you say that?" Zheng Chen asked curiously.
"This time, like the previous times, we will take the treasures we purchased from you to the Henggu Sect for sale. After the transaction was completed, Boss Liu found a jade slip at a small stall in front of their shop... Huh?
Where is my jade slip?" Having said this, Ma Xiaochao quickly started looking for it on himself.
"Stop looking for it, the jade slips are here with me." Zheng Chen waved his hand and said, "Continue talking."
Ma Xiaochao did not go into details about where the jade slip was, and continued angrily: "Boss Liu only took a few glances and knew that the things written on the jade slip were of great origin. The value of this jade slip was very high, so he gave it five
Bai Xian Jing bought it from the stall owner. But when we just bought the jade slip, the five hundred immortal crystals had already fallen into the hands of the stall owner, but the stall owner suddenly said that he would not sell it and wanted to return it.
Our fairy crystal, let us return the jade slip."
Hearing this, Zheng Chen touched his chin and seemed to understand something.
Ma Xiaochao went on to say: "Boss Liu estimated that a Zun-level martial arts technique was burned into the jade slip. Since the transaction had been completed, there was no reason to return it, so he rejected the stall owner's request. Who would have thought that?
Although the stall owner is only at the immortal level, after he shouted loudly, more than 20 experts suddenly rushed out from the Henggu Sect's shop and surrounded the five of us..."
The subsequent situation is easier to sort out. Among the more than twenty Henggu Sect masters are two Immortal Sect level experts, namely Senior Brother Zhang and Junior Brother Li who are still blocking the entrance of Wanfu Residence.
Surrounded by two Immortal Sect-level masters and twenty Immortal Spirit-level monks, Liuxu knew that he was outmatched, but had no intention of giving in, because after all, he was in Tianyuan City, and the Henggu Sect did not dare to do anything to them.
But what Liu Xu and others never expected was that a thirty-man city guard intervened in the matter. They said they wanted to intervene in the investigation, so they invited Liu Xu and others to the city lord's palace.
This was nothing. When Liu Xu and others arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, they were restrained by a group of Henggu Sect monks before they even saw the Lord's face, and then began to question them.
First, Liu Xu and others were forced to hand over the jade slips, and then Liu Xu and others were forced to tell how they got so many treasures.
"Since they have done such a disgraceful thing, they will definitely not leave us a way to survive. Therefore, Boss Liu gave me a wink, and I activated the secret technique of golden cicada prosthesis and escaped from the city lord's mansion. I was later chased
With no other way to go, I rushed here. After activating the secret technique of Golden Cicada Prosthesis, my situation was already very bad. When I was escaping, I was hit by two immortal masters. There was almost no way to survive.
Yan... So, in that case, I rushed here just to remind you that if Liuxu and others are unable to bear it, and tell you the situation here, you need to prepare early.
After all, no matter how hard they try, they can't stop the experts from directly searching for souls. At that time, I never thought that you could rescue me from this desperate situation." Ma Xiaochao explained with a wry smile.
"But even if you have good intentions, you have still put us at the forefront of the storm." Zheng Chen looked a little depressed and waved his hand, "You can rest here for a while first, and I will handle the outside matters."
Afterwards, Zheng Chen took Fei Jiaer and Fei Qier downstairs.
Zheng Chen knew Ma Xiaochao's previous situation very well. He was indeed in a certain state of death. If it weren't for the little guy, Zheng Chen wouldn't have been able to save him. From this, it can be seen that Ma Xiaochao came here with good intentions.
Moreover, Ma Xiaochao has not asked Zheng Chen for the jade slip.
After arriving on the first floor, Zheng Chen's face became gloomy and uncertain.
Although the monks of the Henggu Sect did not dare to break in forcefully, the city guards of the City Lord's Mansion could come in in the name of searching for evil thieves.
Many people saw Ma Xiaochao rushing into Wanfu Residence. If the city guards could not find Ma Xiaochao's person when they came to check, Zheng Chen would be found guilty of harboring the crime.
But if Ma Xiaochao is here waiting for the city guards to catch him, Zheng Chen will also be involved, and Ma Xiaochao will be in trouble again.
After some calculations, Zheng Chen became embarrassed.
In a wing on the third floor of Houji Baozhai, Elder Xin and Elder Yu were quite surprised after hearing the report from their subordinates.
"It's really interesting that the disciples of the Henggu Sect blocked that boy Zheng Chen in the store." Elder Xin said with a smile after being surprised for a moment.
"How about we help that kid? It's a big favor." Elder Yu suggested.
Elder Xin waved his hand and said: "We don't need to take action. If that boy is really Xingchenzi's disciple, even the Henggu Sect would not dare to touch him."
Elder Yu said curiously: "What if that kid is not Xingchenzi's disciple? After all, no one has ever seen Xingchenzi's disciple. Although this kid is special and very strong, he may not be Xingchenzi's disciple."
Elder Xin said with a smile: "If he is not Xingchenzi's disciple, he probably has some special means to protect himself. We don't have to do anything, but we can take the opportunity to see what kind of trump card that kid has."
Elder Yu nodded understandingly.
Outside the gate of Wanfuju, the two Immortal Sect monks from the Henggu Sect finally got some information about Zheng Chen, but as Zheng Chen expected, they got very little.
"This kid has not lived in Tianyuan City for a long time. He should have come from other places. In a short period of time, we can't find much useful information. However, one thing is for sure. They have a good relationship with Houji Baozhai.
We have purchased large sums of materials on credit from Houji Baozhai several times. Several batches of treasures we obtained from those five treasure hunters were purchased from here." The disciple of the Henggu Sect in the Immortal Spirit Stage handed over the information.
After analyzing it, I spoke to the two seniors of the Immortal Sect.
"Are you sure he's not a disciple of the other two families?" asked the Immortal Sect monk surnamed Zhang.
"Probably not, I've just asked about the nails from the other two families." The Immortal Spirit Stage disciple said.
The so-called nails are actually high-level undercover agents. The three major sects in charge of Tianyuan City have planted many nails in each other, including many who have high status in other sects.
