Upon hearing this, Yelan quickly broke free from Yue Xin's embrace. She hurriedly wiped away her tears and forced a smile, saying:
"I'm fine."
The more she acted this way, the more Yue Xin felt reluctant to let go, her face filled with anguish.
However, Yelan seemed afraid of putting Yue Xin in a difficult position, so she took the initiative to return to Su Chen's side and said somewhat hurriedly, "Master, let's go."
Yelan's tone became slightly lighter, as if to show that he was really alright.
Su Chen didn't bother with any more words and left directly.
Watching Yelan and Su Chen's figures gradually disappear into the distance, Yue Xin bit her lower lip, her face filled with unconcealed sorrow and pain.
If it were her former self, she might have disregarded everything and tried every means to take Yelan away.
But that's not possible now.
The Moon Family needs me.
Yue Xin watched Ye Lan's Yelan figure and said helplessly, "I'm sorry."
Seeing this, the Servants beside him couldn't help but shake his head and sigh softly.
Many things in this world are beyond our control. We sympathize with Yelan, but who sympathizes with the Moon Family?
The Moon Family is now facing annihilation, but who will save them?
After leaving the Black Market, Su Chen keenly sensed three faint signs of hostility locking onto him.
True Immortal?
Su Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of disdain in his expression.
These people all carried the same aura as Xu Yining, clearly indicating that they were sent by him. Su Chen was too lazy to waste time dealing with them.
He ignored the three people and headed towards the Su Family's residence.
"Isn't this the kid who was fighting with Young Master Xu over the Three-tailed Fox? He's finally out."
"Haha, brother, you're also waiting to see a good show? What a coincidence, me too. This kid actually dared to snatch something from Xu Yining. I reckon he'll be splattered with blood before he even leaves Pingyun Street."
"Don't underestimate him. This kid seems to have some connections; he must have Dao protector behind him."
"So what if he has Dao protector? Everyone knows the Xu Family's strength in Jueyang City. Even the Wang Family has to give them some face. This brat, even if he has some powerful backers, can he compare to the Xu Family?"
The speaker wore a disdainful expression; he clearly didn't think much of Su Chen, this unknown young man.
In most people's eyes, Su Chen's fate was probably certain death, and the Three-Tails fox would be stolen anyway—it was that simple.
Xu Yining's actions were almost always the same.
This is why almost no one chose to bid after seeing Xu Yining's offer; they all knew that competing with Xu Yining would inevitably lead to a disastrous outcome, unless they had the strength to rival the Xu Family.
But it's quite obvious.
Such forces are extremely rare in the entire Jueyang City.
These people made almost no attempt to conceal themselves, so even Yelan heard what they were saying.
Recalling Xu Yining's bid at the time, she felt uneasy. If she had actually fallen for him, her fate would have been dire.
Although being by Su Chen's side made her very uneasy, at least for now, Su Chen's influence on her was not too bad. If she behaved herself in the future, she might not suffer too much.
Yelan wasn't the kind of strong-willed woman who would threaten suicide at the drop of a hat; she wanted to live, and her desire to survive made her willing to pay any price.
As long as I can survive!
This is also a very real psychological phenomenon.
Even if she ends up becoming a tool to please Su Chen, she's willing to do it, as long as she can survive.
Perhaps because of the Nine-tailed Divine Beast, this Divine Beast has been exceptionally beautiful throughout history, and the women of their tribe always choose a powerful man to rely on.
Even within the clan, many female elders actively taught her how to seduce powerful men.
Therefore, Yelan wasn't so averse to this aspect; her only objection was to be possessed by a weak man.
Taking a deep breath, she couldn't help but ask, "Master... what should we do?"
Su Chen sensed the anxiety and unease in her tone, and he smiled faintly:
"Are you worried?"
Yelan lowered her head. She was indeed very worried. Compared to Xu Yining Su Chen. At least Su Chen didn't give her the feeling of being in danger.
But Xu Yining was completely different.
Although he looked refined and gentle, she instinctively felt that he was definitely a ruthless person.
The Demon Race has a more sensitive sense of smell, especially since she is a descendant of the Nine-tailed Divine Beast. Although there were many people at the time, she still made a point of sensing the aura of those who participated in the bidding.
Xu Yining possessed a strong Sha Qi bloodlust, indicating that he had killed many people recently.
In contrast, Su Chen was very clean and didn't give off that feeling.
Seeing Yelan's expression, Su Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's just a small problem."
Looking at Su Chen's appearance, Yelan felt a sense of peace and security for some reason, and her tense emotions were greatly relieved.
The two walked on like that, and were about to leave Pingyun Street.
Pingyun Street is the entrance to the Black Market, but it's also outside of Black Market, making it a no-man's-land where arson, murder, and looting go unpunished.
Robberies usually happen on Pingyun Street.
However, those without strength wouldn't dare to do such a thing. Pingyun Street has many powerful individuals, and most of those who enter the Black Market are not weak either.
In addition, Pingyun Street is not very big, so once a fight breaks out, someone will notice. Unless the fight ends quickly and the items are not valuable, others will definitely come to get a share.
Therefore, most of the people who take action here are extremely powerful.
News of Su Chen quickly, and many people focused their Divine Sense on his surroundings, eager to see what would happen next.
Su Chen was killed outright.
Or is it that Su Chen has some kind of background, and that's why Xu Yining let him go?
They never even considered how Su Chen could possibly resist; after all, he was only at the Earth Immortal level—how much stronger could he possibly be?
Xu Yining's Guard are all True Immortal cultivators.
"They're here!"
Suddenly someone spoke up.
Suddenly, a man appeared behind Su Chen. He was tall with a hideous scar on his face, a slight upturn at the corner of his mouth, and eyes filled with savagery and killing intent.
That sheer presence alone is enough to intimidate many people.
The key point is that his aura is extremely powerful, indicating he True Immortal Middle Stage Cultivation Level.
"Kid, you dare to bid against our young master? You're really fearless."
The man's tone was icy. He slightly raised his hand. "But it's alright. Just be more careful in your next life. Don't worry, I'm quick. I guarantee you won't feel any pain."
Having said that, he prepared to smash his fist down, unleashing terrifying power that contained boundless might. If this blow landed, it would definitely kill any cultivator below the True Immortal.
Su Chen slightly turned his head to look, his eyes filled with disdain, his voice extremely cold:
"Die!"
An incredibly mysterious aura emanated from the space; there was no magnificent outpouring of energy, no terrifying explosion, only the extremely calm sound of space undulating.
A strong sense of unease welled up in the Middle-aged Man's heart; he felt a chill run down his spine, as if death was imminent.
The next moment.
"Puff!"
A head slowly fell off, and the Middle-aged Man's body seemed to have been slashed countless times, his lower body turning into small pieces of minced flesh.
His only intact head bore the marks of fear and confusion.
What happened?
