The Wang family is a despicable and shameless group of people. In Ye Tianchen's view, except for that Second Miss of the Wang family, the rest of them are cruel and ruthless scoundrels. Of course, he wasn't too angry; revenge is simple. This Martial Arts World is inherently cruel and bloody. The actions of the Wang family are understandable. What Ye Tianchen didn't anticipate was that the Wang family had long planned how to deal with other legacy forces to seek justice, pushing the blame entirely on him, the old man with a pipe, and the Wudao Saint Child.

"Oh, by the way, I see there's an old man with a pipe in the portrait. This old man has been in Linxian City for a long time, seemingly without any Cultivation Realm, and he dares to oppose your Wang family? He should have been dead already!" Ye Tianchen feigned a puzzled look.

"Haha, Taoist, you might have misjudged. This old man with the pipe is extremely powerful. A long time ago, he was deceiving and cheating in Linxian City, seemingly having the idea of attacking the Taishi family's legacy. It was he who masked many young Martial Artists to the ruins of the Taishi family, a deeply hidden old thing. No one knows how many young Martial Artists he has killed; all at prime age. This old thing was hidden so well. After Ye Tianchen and the Wudao Saint Child, these two Demons, broke free from our Wang family's Formation and escaped together, this old man with the pipe hid for a long time under the ruins of the manor and later also escaped. We were unprepared and didn't capture him!" The elder of the Wang family explained to Ye Tianchen incessantly.

This made Ye Tianchen frown. He was just probing to find out the whereabouts of the old man with a pipe. He hadn't expected the old man was indeed still alive, hiding among the black dust in the manor, watching him and the Wudao Saint Child break the Formation and then waiting to reap the benefits. It was too hateful. Anyway, this debt must be settled properly. However, it also indirectly showed how sinister and deeply scheming this old man with a pipe was.

"It seems Taoist is coming from outside. Have you spotted any traces of these three Demons?" The elder of the Wang family deliberately asked seriously.

"No!" Ye Tianchen shook his head. This Wang family is truly ruthless, firmly claiming that the three of them killed all the other Martial Artists. Now narrating tirelessly to him was also an attempt to create a certain public opinion leaning. The Wang family is indeed skillful in this way, otherwise, the old man would not have paid Ye Tianchen any attention.

"Oh, if Taoist has any information about any of these three Demons, providing it to our Wang family, there will be generous rewards..." continued the elder of the Wang family.

"What reward? A thousand taels of gold? For us Martial Artists, it's not much use!" Ye Tianchen said casually.

"Then you're wrong. There will be even more generous rewards to follow, so keep probing for information!" The Wang family elder said with a smile.

"Your Wang family is quite dedicated!" Ye Tianchen said with a faint smile.

"Of course, our Wang family governs Linxian City. Since a tragic event occurred here, our Wang family takes it very seriously and has the responsibility to seek justice for those lost Martial Artists and eradicate these three Great Demons!" The Wang family elder said solemnly and righteously.

Ye Tianchen looked at this old fellow silently. He acted very convincingly. Then he headed towards Linxian City. Fortunately, his Bone Transformation Skill was strong enough that this Wang family elder didn't see through any flaws. Moreover, he was calm and composed, genuinely appearing like an ordinary person asking questions, truly detached, with no flaws or oddities, being one of the reasons he successfully passed the scrutiny.

Once Ye Tianchen entered Linxian City, he found many people on the streets of Linxian City. These people were powerful Martial Artists from various legacies. The Taoist robes they wore were also marked differently. It seemed that many forces related to the deceased Martial Artists had come. They were on constant alert. If even one of the so-called three Great Demons was still in Linxian City, they would erupt violently. The atmosphere in the entire Linxian City suddenly became very tense. Of course, there were still quite a few people in Linxian City. After all, in this vast city, many Martial Artists and secular people have become accustomed to living in it and couldn't possibly leave because of such matters. The Wang family also hadn't mentioned sealing the city, barring anyone from entering or exiting, which is why everyone remained active inside.

After entering Linxian City, Ye Tianchen was searching along the way for the whereabouts of the old fisherman and Xiao Ling. When he arrived at the place where the old fisherman regularly sold fish, he found several Martial Artists from the Wang family standing there, all exuding an extraordinary powerful aura. It seemed that the place had been discovered; they already knew about Ye Tianchen's connection with the old fisherman and Xiao Ling. Could it be that the old fisherman and Xiao Ling had been captured by the Wang family? The Wang family anticipated that he would surely come to rescue the old fisherman and Xiao Ling, which is why experts were stationed here to wait?

After thinking for a moment, Ye Tianchen composed himself, holding a horsetail whisk, and approached a Martial Artist from the Wang family, and asked curiously, "Excuse me, little Taoist friend, hasn't the old fisherman been here today?"

"Hmm? Who are you? Do you have any relation to the old fisherman?" The Martial Artist immediately looked at Ye Tianchen wary and asked.

"Hehe, do you think I might have something to do with the fisherman elder? This old Taoist has wandered across the world, traveled through mountains and rivers, and once bought a Dragon Whisker Fish here, sold by the fisherman elder. Today, I have returned, hoping to try my luck again!" Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

"Oh, I see. Let me tell you the truth, old Taoist, this fisherman elder might be connected to a Great Demon, and he's being hunted down, can't possibly appear!" said the martial artist from the Wang family.

"Being hunted down? Does that mean you've already got news of him?" Ye Tianchen asked, slightly taken aback.

"Of course, this Linxian City is our Wang family's domain; no one can escape..."

"Junior Brother, don't speak carelessly; apologies to the Daoist," a middle-aged martial artist interrupted the young Wang family martial artist's words.

"Hehe, no worries. I'm just curious; that Dragon Whisker Fish is truly unforgettable. It seems I won't have the chance to eat it again. If there's ever a chance to taste it once more, I'd be willing to trade a Martial Arts Divine Skill for it. Surely when the fisherman elder escaped, he must have brought his fish basket, since it's his livelihood. What a pity, what a pity..." Ye Tianchen said as he glanced at the young martial artist and then turned to leave!

Ye Tianchen didn't expect the fisherman elder and Xiao Ling to be discovered so soon. It seems the Wang family's influence is indeed significant. Being hunted means the fisherman elder and Xiao Ling haven't been caught yet but are already in quite a dangerous position. Ye Tianchen initially thought that since this is the Wang family's territory, gathering information here would be quicker. Who would have thought that middle-aged martial artist would ruin his plans? Now, where should he search for the traces of the fisherman elder and Xiao Ling?

Just then, Ye Tianchen noticed someone was following him. Without looking back or showing any change in expression, he unconsciously headed toward a deserted alley. Upon reaching the center of the alley, he couldn't help but smile and say, "I wonder which Taoist friend holds me in such regard? Please show yourself!"

Swish!

A martial artist appeared; it was indeed the young Wang family martial artist who almost let slip the news about the fisherman elder to Ye Tianchen. Ye Tianchen didn't expect him to actually follow, though it wasn't entirely unexpected, as Ye Tianchen had intentionally said those things for him to hear. Once he obtained news of the fisherman elder, he could use a Martial Arts Divine Skill in exchange.

"It's you? I wonder why the little friend is following me?" Ye Tianchen deliberately feigned surprise and asked.

"Daoist, what you said earlier, about exchanging a Martial Arts Divine Skill for information on the fisherman elder's whereabouts—is that true?" The young martial artist looked at Ye Tianchen and asked.

"Of course it's true. As an old Taoist, I've wandered the world, with the heavens and earth as my home, and have had some fortuitous encounters, acquiring some exceptional Divine Arts. But as a Taoist, I've long ceased to care about such things. Only doing what I enjoy, things that make me happy, is truly joyful. What good is being an Immortal without Eternal Life?" Ye Tianchen spoke eloquently, portraying the demeanor of a transcendent sage.

The young martial artist glanced at Ye Tianchen and then thought for a moment before saying, "I have news of the fisherman elder, but you must first teach me the Martial Arts Divine Skill!"

"Hehe, little friend, must there be no trust between people? Would an old Taoist like me deceive a child like you? If you don't trust me, I shouldn't need to taste that Dragon Whisker Fish again, nor do I care to learn the fisherman elder's whereabouts!" Ye Tianchen said with feigned nonchalance, smiling.

Seeing Ye Tianchen about to leave, the young martial artist grew anxious. Being as young as he was, in the midst of many disciples within the Wang family, he was not outstanding. To rise above the rest, he needed to cultivate more powerful Martial Arts Divine Skills. It was for this reason that he was enticed by Ye Tianchen's calculated words, prompting him to follow. Now, seeing Ye Tianchen about to leave, how could he let such an opportunity slip by? He hastily said, "

"Old Daoist, please wait..." (To be continued. If you like this work, please consider voting for it on Qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
