"Mr. Bai, you've arrived just in time!"

Upon seeing the person who arrived, Chen Feng's eyes lit up and he immediately went to greet them.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and glared angrily at Ye Yun, who was not far away.

"It was this guy who did it! I was just kindly inviting them for a drink."

"And then he suddenly turned on me like this, he clearly doesn't respect the Chen family at all!"

After Chen Feng embellished his story, the Dao-building expert, whom he referred to as Elder Bai, frowned slightly.

Although in his heart he guessed that it was most likely his young master who started the trouble.

But at this moment, there is only one thing he needs to do.

"You two, aren't you going too far?"

Old Bai glanced at Ye Yun and Hong Xian'er, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

"Does being at the peak of the Transcendent Realm give you the right to act so recklessly in this city?"

"Do you even know what it means to offend the Chen family?!"

He exuded the aura of a Dao-building expert, making many onlookers breathless!

Looking at Ye Yun and Hong Xian'er again, they couldn't help but sigh.

These two are really pitiful. With such strength, they could have just left. Instead, they had to beat the other person up like this.

Now, things are really bad; it seems like they can't even leave if they want to.

"What? Are you trying to take sides, senior? Are you determined to be unreasonable?"

Ye Yun raised an eyebrow and coldly asked him only one question.

"How dare you!"

Old Bai glared at him and snorted coldly.

"Boy, it seems you don't know the status of my Chen family in Wanmeng City!"

"Here, the Chen family is the law!"

In fact, judging from Chen Feng's previous actions, it's clear that he's been arrogant in this city for quite some time now.

At this moment, Chen Feng, who now had a powerful backer, also sneered at him.

"Kid, weren't you so arrogant just now? Go ahead and try again if you dare!"

After saying that, he glanced at Hong Xian'er nearby and squinted his eyes slightly.

"My lady, I advise you to submit to me, lest things get a little less elegant when we start fighting."

These words made Hong Xian'er frown deeply.

Undeniably, dealing with this Dao-building cultivator would be quite difficult for them.

And it's estimated that before they even win, the whole city will know that the two of them have arrived.

The two exchanged a glance, already tacitly prepared, and immediately made a talisman to call for help.

Does this guy really think he's the only one who can call for help?

The only thing that troubled them was that even if Fei Qingluo came, the confrontation between high-level cultivators would still attract attention.

While Ye Yun and Hong Xian'er were still considering...

Suddenly, a girl's sharp shout came from nearby.

"Who goes there? How dare you act so insolently here!"

The somewhat familiar voice made Ye Yun pause for a moment.

"Hmm? That voice is...?"

At the same time, the onlookers nearby were also attracted by the sudden shout.

In the blink of an eye, a crowd gathered nearby quickly parted to make way, as if afraid of bumping into something.

As Ye Yun expected, a familiar figure emerged from the crowd.

This person was none other than Jian Qing'er, whom Ye Yun had saved in the Jade Maiden Sect's underground area under the guise of Nangong!

And it was because of the letter from the other party that they said there was a Dao Integration Pill here that I was here...

When I spoke with them last time, I only guessed that they must have a high status in the Jian family.

Beside her now was an old man in a white robe, whose cultivation had clearly reached the Foundation Establishment stage!

This shows that the other party's status in the Jian family is much higher than I expected!

"Hey, what's going on here? I just heard sounds of fighting!"

Jian Qing'er glanced at the two people, her pretty face filled with gloom.

Clearly, she did not recognize Ye Yun, who had changed her appearance again.

Otherwise, they would probably have pounced on them by now.

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun stepped forward, cupped his hands, and smiled.

"Miss, I'm so sorry, it was me who did it just now."

As he spoke, he glanced at Chen Feng and Old Bai nearby, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"The reason is that this Chen family member harassed my wife in broad daylight."

"So I could no longer tolerate it and took action. I hope this young lady will forgive me."

As they were talking, he stepped forward and took Hong Xian'er's hand.

After hearing Ye Yun's explanation, Jian Qing'er suddenly understood and was not surprised at all.

Especially after she saw that the person opposite her was Chen Feng, the most dissolute young master of the Chen family.

"I see, I understand now."

Jian Qing'er nodded slightly and said to him in a calm tone.

"I'll handle this."

"Okay, thank you very much, miss."

Ye Yun chuckled lightly at him, quite reassured.

This also made Hong Xian'er, who was standing next to him, glance at him.

Is this guy too trusting?

Is it really possible to trust someone so easily after just meeting them for the first time?

Clearly, she was unaware of the past between Ye Yun and Jian Qing'er.

Just then, Jian Qing'er looked at the disheveled Chen Feng not far away and rebuked him sharply.

"You bastard, you're getting more and more outrageous, aren't you?"

"Now, during this battle for supremacy, do you still dare to cause trouble in the city?"

According to the rules previously established by the alliance, no faction is allowed to cause trouble in the city during the battle for the alliance leader.

Chen Feng's actions completely disregarded the rules of the alliance.

This was something she could not ignore!

Chen Feng, however, didn't seem to care and just pursed his lips.

"It's none of your business! I'll do whatever I want!"

Seeing that he remained unmoved, like a dead pig unafraid of boiling water.

Jian Qing'er's eyes grew even colder, and she snorted coldly.

"This area is now our Jian family territory! It's not a place for you to run wild!"

Basically, in Wanmeng City, most of the larger shops bear the mark of various major forces within the alliance.

Strictly speaking, this clothing store is one of the shops under the jurisdiction of the Jian family.

And this area nearby is also the territory of the Jian family!

"Your Jian family's territory?"

Chen Feng glanced around and chuckled.

"If we wait a few more days, things might not be so sure?"

"Given your father's current state, I think it's best to hand everything over as soon as possible!"

He blatantly provoked Jian Qing'er, it was like two heads were locked in a battle.

These words undoubtedly offended Jian Qing'er, who immediately snorted coldly at them.

"I don't know what will happen in the future, but at least for now, at this moment, this place is still my Jian family's territory!"

"If you dare cause trouble here, I have the obligation and the right to beat you to a pulp!"

"If you don't believe me, you're welcome to try it!"

The Jian Qing'er at this moment was different from the disheveled and delicate appearance she had shown in the Jade Maiden Sect's underground.

Perhaps because they were on their own turf, they felt confident and acted with considerable assertiveness!

The Dao-building experts behind him also stepped forward.

It seemed as if they would attack at any moment if Jian Qing'er gave the word.

Seeing this, Elder Bai, whom Chen Feng had summoned, frowned slightly.

He whispered to Chen Feng beside him.

"Young Master, the situation is unfavorable for us now. Perhaps we should retreat?"

If a fight really breaks out, it's uncertain whether they can win or not, and more importantly, they don't have a legitimate reason to fight.

If things escalate, it will have a significant negative impact on the Chen family, which is not a good time to act.

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng seemed to understand the gravity of the situation, and simply glared at Jian Qing'er and Ye Yun.

"You just wait, I will remember this humiliation!"

After he finished speaking, he waved to the people around him.

"Get up now, let's go!"

Fortunately, Ye Yun's attack wasn't too severe, and the other three Life and Death Realm guards were still able to get up with difficulty.

Upon hearing their young master's instructions, they all got up and slunk away.

What happened here was quite satisfying for those who knew the situation.

After they left, people started discussing it amongst themselves.

"This guy's always been so arrogant, he's finally met his match!"

"Yeah, I hope we run into an even tougher one next time!"

"That's right, why didn't they just kill him?"

"..."

Everyone deeply loathed Chen Feng.

Seeing that he had suffered such a great loss today, everyone was overjoyed.

At this moment, Jian Qing'er looked at the crowd gathered around her, waved her hand, and said loudly.

"Alright, alright, everyone, please move aside! Don't block the road!"

Although the street is quite wide, it couldn't withstand so many people crowding around, and it was almost causing a traffic jam.

People love to join in the fun, and the more people gather around, the more passersby will be attracted.

If left to its own devices, this area will probably be completely blocked off in no time.

After hearing her words, everyone reluctantly dispersed...

……

On the other side of the street, Chen Feng, Elder Bai, and three guards walked away.

They glanced at the gradually dispersing crowd behind them, a strange look in their eyes.

Chen Feng's expression changed from one of frustration to one of deep contemplation.

"That couple from earlier must be someone of considerable importance."

Old Bai paused for a moment, then asked in confusion.

"What makes you say that, young master?"

Because he arrived late, he didn't see how Ye Yun had made his move earlier.

Then, Chen Feng squinted and said.

"That young cultivator must be a swordsman who wields a flying sword. His moves are extremely swift and cunning, unlike those of an ordinary rogue cultivator."

"Furthermore, even when they saw you, Elder Bai, they remained calm and composed, showing no fear."

"They must have guards in the city, at least at the Imperial Path level."

As for why it's called the Imperial Path instead of the Foundation Establishment Realm, that's a psychological speculation.

Assuming the other party only has Foundation Establishment Realm guards by their side, then facing someone like myself who can easily summon Foundation Establishment Realm experts...

No matter what, they should have shown some apprehension, but the other party didn't...

"Does Young Master mean those two are from some super-powerful force on the mainland?"

Chen Feng nodded slightly and gave him a brief instruction.

"That must be it. Have someone investigate. It seems they came from some continent's teleportation array."

The reason is simple: he has seen beautiful fairies like that red-haired female cultivator before.

Such a beautiful and talented female cultivator has never been seen in the Northern Continent.

Therefore, it is highly likely that the other party came from outside the Northern Continent...

"Yes, young master!"

Old Bai immediately agreed, and when he looked at the young man in front of him, he was full of satisfaction.

To outsiders, the young master of the Chen family was a spoiled brat who was always looking for trouble.

But if you really treat him like a spoiled brat, you'll definitely suffer a great loss.

Only those who know him well understand that this is nothing more than a disguise.

……

At the entrance of the clothing store, the crowd gradually dispersed, leaving only Ye Yun and a few others nearby.

Jian Qing'er looked at Ye Yun and Hong Xian'er and asked with great concern.

"Are you both alright?"

Ye Yun stepped forward, cupped his hands in greeting, and smiled.

"Thanks to your help, Miss, it's nothing serious."

"Hmm...that's good."

Jian Qing'er nodded slightly and breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, as if noticing something, she looked at the bundle of straw that Ye Yun was carrying on his shoulder.

"And what are you doing carrying that?"

Ye Yun shrugged, glanced at Hong Xian'er beside him, and smiled.

"Well, my wife likes to eat this, so I made one for her."

"Oh, I see. You're a really nice person."

After saying that, she glanced at Hong Xian'er and asked.

"Excuse me, ma'am, may I take one?"

Jian Qing'er was quite clever; upon hearing that it was bought for Hong Xian'er, she simply asked her directly.

Upon hearing this, Hong Xian'er smiled slightly and nodded.

"Of course, feel free to take whatever you like."

She couldn't possibly finish all of that on her own.

After that, Jian Qing'er selected one after some deliberation and then excitedly picked it up.

"This was my favorite food when I was a child."

Jian Qing'er tried one and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

"If you like, you can take two more."

Hong Xian'er was very generous to the little sister who had helped her.

"No need, one is enough. Consider it payment for helping you."

Jian Qing'er smiled and then spoke to the two of them.

"Speaking of Chen Feng, he usually likes to cause trouble in the city, but no one dares to lay a hand on him."

"To be honest, seeing him get beaten up so badly today was quite satisfying!"

Because of her status, she usually couldn't take action against him.

Because of his status, the others dared not actually lay a hand on him.

Now that I've met someone who dares to beat me into a pig's head, I'm naturally overjoyed.

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun raised an eyebrow and asked.

"By the way, Miss, do you know who that guy is?"

"Huh? Didn't he tell you this before?"

Jian Qing'er tilted her head and asked in confusion.

"He is the youngest son of the Chen family patriarch in Wanmeng City, and also an extremely favored young master."

Ye Yun shook his head and asked.

"What I want to know is, is the Chen family behind him very powerful?"

Before they arrived, they had also learned about the core forces of Wanmeng City.

The Chen family was not mentioned.

"In the past, the Chen family wasn't particularly powerful; they were just considered a first-rate force."

Jian Qing'er ate a candied hawthorn while pondering and said.

"But not long ago, their family produced the Jade Snow Fairy. You should know this female cultivator, right?"

"From then on, the power of the Chen family also increased significantly."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun and Hong Xian'er exchanged a glance before realizing what was happening.

"Is the Chen family the faction to which Fairy Jade Snow belongs?"

Previously, I had only heard that Fairy Yuxue came from a mid-to-upper-level power, so I didn't know much about her.

"Well... at least that's the official stance."

Jian Qing'er nodded, then reminded the two of her points.

"So the two of you must be very careful in Wanmeng City from now on."

"This guy holds a grudge. You made him lose face so badly today, he'll probably come after you later!"

"Don't let him get a chance to make a move."

This well-intentioned reminder alerted Ye Yun and Hong Xian'er, who both nodded in agreement.

"Understood, we will be careful."

"Hmm...that's good."

Jian Qing'er nodded, then smiled sweetly.

"Of course, there's no need to worry too much; after all, this is still Wanmeng City!"

"And you all seem to be at the peak of the extraordinary realm, so ordinary people can't do anything to you."

"As for sending cultivators of the Transcendent level or higher to attack you, for the time being, the Chen family probably doesn't have the guts!"

Finally, she paused for a moment and smiled.

"If anything really happens, you can come to me."

"I can offer you both some degree of protection!"

It can be said that she has already taken great care of Ye Yun and Hong Xian'er.

Ye Yun sighed inwardly, realizing that helping the other party back then was a wise choice.

Jian Qing'er is indeed a good child...

I wonder what Jian Qing'er's reaction would be if she heard him praising her like that.

Hong Xian'er, standing to the side, couldn't help but ask curiously.

"By the way, I haven't yet asked about your sister's identity. Could you please tell me?"

Upon hearing this, Jian Qing'er smiled sweetly, showing no intention of hiding anything, and glanced at the person beside her.

The elderly man who was their guard immediately introduced the two of them.

"Our young lady is Jian Qing'er, the only direct descendant of the Jian family!"

Upon hearing the name and identity, both Ye Yun and Hong Xian'er were startled.

The Jian family now indeed only has one direct descendant.

Immediately, Ye Yun spoke first and asked.

"Wait...so that means your father is...?"

"That's right!"

Jian Qing'er put her hands on her hips, tilted her head slightly, and said with a proud expression.

"My father is none other than Jian Wuyai, the current leader of the Northern Continent Alliance and the head of the Jian family!"

To be fair, this background certainly gives her reason to be proud and smug.

Even Ye Yun was surprised, as he had expected the other party to be of extraordinary status.

But I never expected it to be this extraordinary!

That's why, thinking about what the other person had gone through before, he felt both amused and exasperated.

"The daughter of a powerful Emperor-level expert secretly ran away from home, and almost got herself killed outside."

Ye Yun could only say one thing: city people really know how to have fun!

Hong Xian'er was unaware of all this, and upon hearing the other party's identity, she only showed a surprised expression.

"Jian Qing'er... so it was you."

Clearly, given her status, she was somewhat familiar with this name.

In other words, she had a certain understanding of the important figures in almost all the top powers on the mainland.

Perhaps you haven't seen them in person, but at least you've probably heard of their names...

"That's right, it's me!"

Jian Qing'er nodded, smiled at the two of them, and said.

"So, if you two encounter any problems in the city that you can't solve, please let me know."

"You're welcome to come find me at the Jian family. Just mention my name when you arrive!"
