chapter 24:"The Unforeseen Allegiance"
Afterward, voices of discussion were heard.
Zhao Qian was a legend in Tianyang Prefecture. He was born into a noble family and was the young master of the Zhao family. His talent was even greater—he had a level five cultivation talent. He could be considered a Xuanwu Realm expert.
A group of strong men followed Zhao Qian closely, including thirteen level-nine Spirit Incarnation Realm masters. Everyone was shocked by what they saw. They could not help but look at Xiao Chen with pity.
It seemed that Xiao Chen had truly agitated Young Master Zhao Qian, causing him to mobilize such a formidable force.
Xiao Fa's palm suddenly trembled, and his face instantly turned pale. He gazed at Xiao Chen with a look of despair.
Zhao Qian had arrived.
And he had brought along several level-nine Spirit Incarnation Realm experts.
Xiao Chen was definitely going to die.
"Kid, you've really gotten into big trouble," Xiao Fa whispered. Then, his expression became firm, and he added in a hushed tone, "I will hold them down for you. You should run. Go!"
When Xiao Chen saw Xiao Fa's expression, he felt warmth in his heart. However, he did not say much at this moment. He wanted to give his father a surprise.
"Hello, Young Master Zhao Qian, I did not expect to trouble you."
Yang Che quickly walked over and looked at the large crowd of Spirit Incarnation Realm experts. He was also shocked.
One had to know that a level-nine Spirit Incarnation Realm expert was not common in Prefecture City. However, so many of them had appeared that day.
With that, Xiao Chen's fate seemed sealed.
Yang Che's face revealed a flattering smile as he thought about this. He hurriedly said, "Actually, you don't have to personally come. We will capture that b*stard Xiao Chen and send him to you."
"I've heard from Shaoan that Xiao Chen, that b*stard, plotted against you. He's really daring."
Hearing this, Zhao Qian's mouth twitched, and he quickly looked at Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen wore a faint smile on his face. Zhao Qian was shocked and quickly walked over.
He had just taken two steps when Yang Che's eyes rolled, and he suddenly yelled, "What are you waiting for? Guards, capture Xiao Chen and hand him over to Young Master Zhao Qian!"
Everyone was startled. One of them suddenly made a move and tried to grab Xiao Chen.
"Capture him for Young Master Zhao Qian!"
Next to him, the others did not want to be left behind. They joined in the fight and said to Zhao Qian, "Young Master Zhao Qian, rest assured. You don't have to deal with this useless trash. We can capture him!"
"That's right. Young Master Zhao Qian, please wait a moment. We'll take him down."
"D*mn it!"
Zhao Qian's face changed greatly. He thought to himself, "Are these people trying to kill me?"
Without saying anything, he rushed into the crowd and punched the person who had taken the lead.
Bam!
"What's that?"
The person was shocked and was about to counterattack when he saw that furious figure. He immediately controlled his anger and did not dare to move, allowing the fist to land on his body.
"Young Master Zhao Qian, what's the matter?"
He looked puzzled and felt a little wronged. "I am on your side, so why did you hit me?"
"Young Master Zhao Qian, did you hit the wrong person?"
At the side, Yang Che's face was filled with doubts. He did not know what Young Master Zhao Qian was doing.
"Why are there so many people here? Who's in charge?" At this moment, Xiao Chen's faint voice rang out. "This is so troublesome. I don't want to see them standing here."
"How dare you!" "How dare you be so arrogant in front of Young Master Zhao Qian!" "Who do you think you are? Who are you to tell us to leave?"
A group of people from the government office shouted and subconsciously looked at Zhao Qian.
Obviously, in their eyes, Zhao Qian had come to catch Xiao Chen. They did not understand why Xiao Chen was acting so arrogantly. Was he crazy?
However, just as they finished speaking, the level-nine Spirit Incarnation Realm experts behind Zhao Qian began to move.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Without hesitation, they released their energy, unleashing a terrifying force. Of course, they did not fight against Xiao Chen but rather against the people from the government office.
Bang! Bang!
Among the government officials, there were several people at level nine of the Spirit Incarnation Realm, but they did not expect the Zhao family to attack them. Besides, they did not have as many powerful fighters as the Zhao family, and they were defeated in an instant.
Plop! Plop! Plop!
In the blink of an eye, the people from the government office howled in pain and lay on the ground.
"Young Master Zhao Qian, what are you doing?"
Yang Che was shocked and furious. He was unable to comprehend this sudden change.
Zhao Qian, instead of dealing with Xiao Chen, had attacked the people from the government office. Had he lost his mind?
Zhao Qian ignored him and walked quickly toward Xiao Chen. He bowed his head slightly and said respectfully, "Young Master Chen."
Just these three words caused Yang Che's heart to sink.
What did he just hear?
Young Master Zhao Qian, the greatest young master of Tianyang Prefecture, had respectfully addressed this countryman?
"I'm not dreaming, am I?"
For the government officials lying on the ground howling, it was as if they had been pinched in the neck and suddenly became silent. They all looked at Zhao Qian in a daze.
What had Young Master Zhao Qian just said?
Were they hallucinating?
However, when they saw the astonished looks on their companions' faces, they were stunned.
It was the truth. Young Master Zhao Qian had addressed Xiao Chen as "Young Master Chen!"
"Young Master Zhao Qian, this Xiao Chen is just a countryman. He does not deserve an honorific title from you!"
Yang Che's expression was extremely upset as he spoke loudly.
"How dare you!"
Zhao Qian turned his head abruptly, strode over, and slapped Yang Che across the face.
Slap!
A crisp sound rang out as a bright red palm print appeared on Yang Che's pale and tender face.
Zhao Qian looked at him coldly and said angrily, "Who do you think you are? How dare you make false claims against Young Master Chen!"
"Young Master Chen's ability is beyond anything a small fly like you can fathom!"
Yang Che covered his face in disbelief.
He never expected Zhao Qian to slap him in front of everyone.
"What—?!"
Zhao Qian interrupted him impolitely and said disdainfully, "This is just a small lesson for you. If I hear you speak ill of Young Master Chen again, I will kill you myself!"
As he spoke, he spat on Yang Che's face.
"Get lost!"
The level-nine Spirit Incarnation Realm experts from the Zhao family glared coldly at Yang Che.
And at that moment, Yang Che finally realized—Xiao Chen was no ordinary person.
