Nine Heavens Sovereign

"Who are they? Why did they beat you?" Ye Chen asked.

The old man smiled bitterly and said: "They are from the Zhang family, the largest family in Fengcheng. This is not the first time.

My granddaughter and I make a living from this tavern and are constantly bullied by them.He often eats without giving money or talking about it, and if he doesn't obey, he will be beaten or scolded.

Three days ago, the young master of their family came to eat and drink for free again. Before leaving, he took all our rations away, saying that he was going to go hunting in the mountains, and he didn't bring enough food.He also said that we would go to the city to ask him for money in the future.

Where do we go to ask them for money?But they left us nothing to eat, so we had no choice but to go to the gate of the city to beg for something to eat.

Two days passed like this.Unexpectedly, they happened to meet them leaving the city at the gate of the city today.Linlin was young and outspoken, saying that they didn't pay for food and asked them to pay.The young master of the Zhang family was furious, saying that we would ruin his reputation and that we would beat us to death.Fortunately, the younger brother acted righteously, otherwise... Alas! "

Ye Chenqi gritted his steel teeth.

Both the old man and the little girl were mortals without force, if they hadn't appeared in time, they might have been beaten to death by them.And the fate of this little girl can be imagined.

Fengcheng Zhang family!Ye Chen remembered the name in his heart.

The little girl Linlin's stomach suddenly growled, and she looked at her grandfather beggingly.

Ye Chen couldn't bear it, "You wait, I'll go hunt some wild game."

Now that Shanhezong is thousands of miles away, and flying monsters are rarely seen in the sky, Ye Chen is not too worried.

In less than half an hour, Ye Chen came back with a roe deer, three pheasants, and five or six hares.

"Great! Great! I finally have something to eat, and I don't have to worry about being too hungry to sleep at night. Thank you, big brother." Linlin jumped up.There was a happy smile on the little face.

Children's happiness is always very simple.But it made Ye Chen feel sad for a while.

The three of them quickly ate a meal of roast roe meat.Not only the grandparents and grandson ate deliciously, but Ye Chen also ate very sweetly.This was the first cooked meal he had eaten since he fled.

"Old man, what's the truth about that Zhang family in Fengcheng?" Ye Chen asked with roe deer meat in his mouth.

"Son, what do you want to do? There are people cultivating immortals in the Zhang family, and we can't provoke them. I know you are very powerful, but compared with a behemoth like the Zhang family, you are still too weak." anger.He was afraid that Ye Chen would cause a catastrophe due to impulsiveness, and even himself would be involved.

Sighing: "I've lived here almost my entire life. The older I get, the more nostalgic I am. I really don't want to leave my hometown. But now I have reached the point where I have to leave. For Linlin, I decided to leave here, even if I go to I don’t want to stay here anymore if I’m begging for food from other places.”

"Grandpa..." Two more lines of tears flowed down Linlin's face.

"Linlin is good, don't cry." Ye Chen comforted Linlin, and said to the old man: "Don't talk about leaving home, old man. Don't worry, I won't cause any trouble. You should tell me about this family first. What is the situation? Let's figure out a solution together. If it doesn't work, I will leave with you."

The old man became vigilant, "Brother, what are you going to do? I will pack up my things tomorrow, leave here, and never come back. You must not mess with them."

Ye Chen smiled, "Don't worry, old man, I'm not a reckless person."

How can the old man believe it? "Brother, how can you make me feel at ease? When I see you, I think of my dead child. Back then, he was just like you, upright, passionate, and impulsive. In the end... oh! We can't afford to offend the Zhang family. You know, their backstage is Shanhezong!"

"Shanhezong?!" Ye Chen's eyes narrowed.

Under Ye Chen's repeated questioning, the old man finally told the truth.

The old man's surname is Tang, and his son and daughter-in-law were originally outer disciples of Shanhe Sect, and all of them have reached the state of Tongmai. They are only one step away from reaching the state of Qi cultivation, becoming inner disciples, and reaching the sky in one step.

It's a pity that three years ago, while collecting herbs, they encountered a monster, and unfortunately both of them died, leaving no bones left.From then on, the old man could only live with his granddaughter Linlin.

The two young masters of the Zhang family are also outer disciples of the Shanhe Sect.However, these two young masters have misbehavior. The old man's son has always been upright and passionate. When he encounters the two young masters of the Zhang family doing evil, he will stop them.As a result, there was a rift between the two families.

When Linlin's parents were still there, the Zhang family didn't dare to do anything.But as soon as Linlin's parents passed away, the Zhang family began to bully the grandparents even more.

The old man's tavern was originally in the city, and his life was decent, but under pressure from the Zhang family, he had to move it outside the city.But the Zhang family was still relentless, and came to find trouble again and again, almost driving the old man to a dead end.

Now, the two young masters of the Zhang family have both entered the inner sect of the Shanhe Sect, and the status of the Zhang family in Fengcheng has risen even higher.Even the government has to act according to their faces.

The third young master of the Zhang family is bullying men and women, doing all kinds of evil, and can be described as extremely arrogant.If Ye Chen hadn't happened to meet him today, even if the old man was beaten to death in the street, no one would dare to ask him.

Ye Chen felt that his anger was not normal.The Zhang family, it is inhumane to be able to deal with such a vicious hand on such a dying old man and a young child!Not even a beast!

And he felt that the old man's son and daughter-in-law might not be as simple as picking medicine and meeting monsters.The old man obviously had doubts about this, but there was no evidence.In fact, even if there is evidence, he can't do anything to the Zhang family.The death of their son and daughter-in-law doomed the tragedy of their family.

The old man sighed: "My child, the Zhang family is really not easy to mess with. Don't do anything stupid. I... let's go!"

Ye Chen said: "Old man, if we leave, where can we go? Is there no one bullying in other places?"

The old man sighed.That's right, the old and the young, with no power to restrain the chicken, no matter where they go, the situation will not be too good.And it can be seen that the homeland is hard to leave, and he doesn't want to leave.

How could he not understand the old man's expression?That was the case with his adoptive father back then.Said: "Old man, why don't we stay together. I, and you, stay together!"

The old man hurriedly said: "No, not only can't stay, but you also have to leave, and the sooner the better. You beat their people, and it was their third young master, they definitely won't let it go. If it falls into their hands, it will definitely not end well. Child, you are a good person, and I really don't want to see anything happen to you."

Ye Chen smiled suddenly, "But, it seems we can't go anymore."

The old man was startled, "Why?"

"Because they have come."

Sure enough, as soon as Ye Chen finished speaking, there was a loud noise from outside the house.

"Here it is, here is the old thing's home. Someone saw them come back."

"There's a fire here, and it's still smoking. You must be home."

"Old man Tang, get out!"

"If you don't come out again, set fire to your house!"

"..."

"Grandpa!" Linlin jumped into the old man's arms in shock.

The old man's face turned pale. "This...what to do? Child, you... find a place to hide..."

But looking at the situation in the room, he sighed again.There are already four walls in the house, so where can people hide?

Just as he was hesitating, he heard a "bang", the door was kicked open, and two menacing men rushed in.

Linlin let out a frightened "Ah", and tied herself even tighter into the old man's arms.

"Linlin is not afraid! With grandpa here, Linlin doesn't have to be afraid of anything!" the old man comforted softly, but even he could hear that his voice was trembling.Obviously, in his opinion, this time it is doomed.And it also implicated this young man.

"Which family do you belong to? Has no one taught you to knock before entering?" Unexpectedly, Ye Chen didn't even lift his head.As if nothing had happened, he stuffed a mouthful of roe deer meat into his mouth and said.

"Who are you little bastard?"

"The third young master who was injured by you little bastard?"

The tempers of the two big men were obviously not very good. After being so excited by Ye Chen, they pointed at Ye Chen and yelled and cursed, as if Ye Chen had just dug their ancestral graves.But he didn't dare to act rashly.Obviously, this person is most likely the one who injured the third young master.A person who can injure all the three young masters on the fifth level of the True Martial Realm, how can he be easy to deal with?The two of them are only on the third level of the True Martial Realm, so if they rashly go up to fight, they are basically looking for abuse.Although they are rough, they still have some self-knowledge.

Ye Chen still didn't raise his head, "Who is the little bastard scolding?"

Without even thinking about it, a big man said: "The little bastard scolded you!"

"Oh, so it was the little bastard who scolded me, I said, no wonder the words are so ugly." Ye Chen said with a smile, throwing away the bone in his hand.

Only then did the two burly men realize that they were being tricked, and immediately burst into anger, "You little bastard looking for death?"

"Who is the little bastard scolding?"

"Little bastard scolding..."

Halfway through the speech, he realized something was wrong, and abruptly swallowed the second half back.

"go to hell!"

The two big men were so angry that they attacked from left to right.Anyone will be angry if they are placed in such a way, let alone them who are always arrogant?They were brave and ruthless people, but they were dazzled by Ye Chen's anger, and they no longer cared about the possibility that Ye Chen's strength might surpass them.
