Even if the well-informed sect leader just spoke out, his voice was trembling slightly, and even he couldn't help but take a breath, as if he had witnessed the tragic scene with his own eyes.
Others were so shocked that their eyes were about to burst open and their mouths were so wide that they could fit a fist into them.
What kind of ruthless person is the other party?
How could it be achieved to this extent?
First Situ the Third and one thousand Heavenly Severance Army, then Situ the Second and two thousand Heavenly Severance Army!
This is simply incredible!
They were also full of curiosity about that ruthless man and wanted to see what he looked like.
Does it have three heads and six arms, or does it look sinister and sinister?
"Then why are you still standing there? Let's go watch the fun together!!!"
At this time, a person reacted and hurriedly greeted him.
They all want to see who is the person who can make Situ Household so popular and how this turmoil will end.
Everyone nodded, no longer hesitating, and circulated Immortal Power in their bodies. They lightly touched the ground with their feet, jumped into the air, and followed Situ Household's large army from a distance.
They didn't dare to get too close, so they could only observe quietly from a thousand meters away, using the cover of clouds.
Only then did they realize that they were not the only ones in the mood to watch the fun.
In the mountains and forests below and on the city walls in the distance, there are hidden figures everywhere, and spies and casual cultivators from many forces are secretly following behind the large army.
Everyone just wanted to see what happened to make Central Continent the number one force so angry.
Situ Household always takes action with great force, eager to let everyone know their power, and this time is no exception.
This also resulted in more and more people following along the way.
In the end, those who followed secretly gathered together and formed a team larger than the Situ Household army in front.
It's just that everyone kept a tacit understanding and didn't dare to make the slightest sound.
At this time, on the busiest street of the Central Continent, in front of the gate of Cloud Crane Tower, on the wide bluestone road, a huge three-foot-long white jade table was carried out. The table was filled with all kinds of wine and delicacies.
The steaming dishes exude a tempting aroma, attracting people passing by to stop and watch.
These are all Cloud Crane Tower's top delicacies - the golden plate of "Spiritual Deer Roast Legs" is made from the hind legs of a thousand-year-old spiritual deer. The meat is tender and juicy, and sprinkled with special spices. Just smelling it will make people drool.
In the bowl of "Colorful Scallop Soup" next to it, the scallops in it are treasures collected from the deep sea and boiled with seven kinds of rare spiritual herbs. It is said that one sip can make people feel 100 times more energetic.
And the dish of "braised Thunder Prison Dragon liver" is even more precious. It is cooked with one Thunder Prison Dragon liver, which has a delicate taste and rich nutrition.
Many dishes may not even be available for money, and only Cloud Crane Tower's top guests can taste them.
For example, the livers, hearts, etc. of certain rare ethnic groups. These ingredients are not even seen on ordinary days, but now they are neatly placed on the table.
But now, all the top-notch dishes that Cloud Crane Tower's chef can whip up immediately are brought up and placed in front of Ye Chen, Youruo and Xie Purou.
The same goes for fine wine. The wine jar with the label "Zui Xian Brewing" is made entirely of purple sand. The moment you open the lid of the jar, the rich aroma of the wine spreads, making people feel comfortable after taking a sip.
This is Cloud Crane Tower's premium wine. No matter how much money an ordinary person spends, they can only buy a small glass.
The three of them sat on the stone bench next to the white jade table, and really enjoyed their meal under the stares of many people.
Ye Chen Holding a wine glass in one hand and chopsticks in the other, he slowly picked up a piece of venison and put it into his mouth, his eyes calm and calm.
Youruo's face turned red after eating. He held a roasted chicken leg in one hand and gnawed on it, with oil stains on the corners of his mouth.
Xie Purou was also unceremonious, picked up the soup bowl, raised his head and took a big sip, his face full of satisfaction.
The three of them had no psychological burden at all, as if the eyes around them didn't exist.
It seems that they are really just enjoying the food now and don't care at all about the possible revenge from Situ Household that may happen next.
"Shopkeeper, your wine is good, please give me two more bottles!!!"
Youruo finished chewing the chicken leg in his hand, put down the bones, picked up the empty wine bottle next to him, shook it, and then shouted loudly at Shopkeeper He, who was standing not far away with a sad look on his face.
Her little face turned red from drinking, her eyes were a little blurry, and she was obviously a little drunk.
Shopkeeper He heard the sound and hurried over with a troubled look on his face. He kept rubbing his hands and said, "Fairy, it's not that I don't want you to drink it, but the quantity of this 'Drunken Fairy Brew' is too small. There is only this jar in the whole Cloud Crane Tower, and you have already drank it all!!!"
This kind of "Drunken Immortal Brew" is made from ten thousand years of spiritual rice and dozens of kinds of immortal grass, and has been stored for five thousand years. It has great stamina and can intoxicate countless monks with high levels of cultivation!
At Cloud Crane Tower, only distinguished guests who are particularly valued by the host can have the honor to drink a few more drinks. On weekdays, even the children of big families can only have a taste.
Today, in order to appease these three guests who had "caused big trouble", he had already taken out the jar of fairy brew from the bottom of the box. Where could he get more fairy brew?
"I don't care!"
Youruo pouted, shook his head, and said with a bit of coquettishness and a bit of toughness in his tone, "Get it for me! I won't charge you any money! Hiccup~"
After saying that, she burped and smelled of alcohol.
Just when Shopkeeper He was standing there, looking helpless and not knowing what to do, a white jade gourd suddenly fell from the air, making a soft "dong" sound and landed steadily on the white jade table.
Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged man wearing white clothes and an elegant face walked out from nowhere.
With a gentle smile on his face, he cupped his hands to Ye Chen and said, "Guests, Old He is not lying. There is indeed no such 'Drunken Immortal Brew' in Cloud Crane Tower. But it doesn't matter, I still have some in my gourd, and I will give it to you today!!!"
Seeing this familiar figure finally appearing, Shopkeeper He was so excited that he almost shed tears. He quickly stepped forward and said with a choked voice, "Master! Master, you finally appeared! If you don't come out, I really can't stand it anymore!!!"
Old He's face was almost twisted into a ball, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.
What happened today is too big. First Young Master Situ was beaten here, then Situ Household's people were killed one after another, and now Situ Household came out in force again. He, a small shopkeeper, could not handle such a big turmoil.
If Master of Cloud Crane Tower doesn't show up again, he really wants to give up his job!
Master of Cloud Crane Tower laughed, waved his hand, and said in a gentle voice, "Okay, leave this to me. You can step back and rest for a while."
Shopkeeper He, as if he had received an amnesty, quickly bowed and saluted, and then left quickly. Before leaving, he did not forget to look at Ye Chen and the three of them worriedly.
Then, Master of Cloud Crane Tower waved his hand, and a white light flashed past. A new white jade chair appeared out of thin air beside the table. He sat on it gracefully, and his eyes turned around the three Ye Chen.
Soon, the smile on Master of Cloud Crane Tower's face disappeared and his eyes became solemn. He looked at Ye Chen and asked in a serious tone, "This fellow Daoist, do you really know what you are doing? Situ Household's strength is far from what you think, especially Ancestor Situ. If he takes action personally, even I will not be his opponent!!!"
He admired how these three people could enjoy the food so calmly when faced with the threat of Situ Household.
However, he didn't understand why these three people did this.
Knowing that Situ Household is not easy to mess with, but still provoking him again and again, what is the difference between this and committing suicide?
Ye Chen seemed not to have heard what he said, and still quietly sipped the wine in the glass. Then he picked up a piece of dragon liver with chopsticks and put it into his mouth, chewing it slowly. He didn't even look at Master of Cloud Crane Tower the whole time, as if he had no intention of chatting with him.
Youruo put down the wine bottle in his hand and said, "Senior, there are too many twists and turns that we don't understand, and we don't want to understand."
She paused and her eyes became firmer, "We only know that after being bullied by bad people, the bad people deserve to die. Situ Household people provoked us first and wanted to kill us, so they deserve to die!"
Although her little face was still red and her eyes were a little blurry, she was obviously much more awake than when she asked for wine just now, and her speech became more coherent.
Master of Cloud Crane Tower followed Youruo's gaze and looked at Ye Chen, who was pouring himself a drink with a calm expression, and then at Youruo, who was speaking loudly. Then, he slowly turned his head and looked at the crowd on the other side.
Among that crowd, in a remote corner, Young Master Situ was huddled there.
His clothes were torn to pieces, he was covered in blood, there was a clear slap mark on his face, his hair was messy, and his eyes were full of fear and resentment, like a lost dog, and he no longer had the arrogance of the past.
Master of Cloud Crane Tower Why don't you understand these principles?
He also couldn't stand the way Situ Household bullied others and caused trouble everywhere, and he even secretly admired the courage of Ye Chen.
But after living for so many years, he knows one truth better than anyone else - no matter where it is placed, a big fist is the last word!
Even if Young Master Situ caused trouble, considering the terrifying Situ Household background behind him, he shouldn't have done it so brilliantly, right?
After all, no one has ever had a good ending after offending Situ Household.
"Sometimes, bad people are not simply defined by their actions."
Master of Cloud Crane Tower His fingertips unconsciously rubbed the edge of the white jade wine glass, and a helpless sigh with a hint of compromise rolled out of his throat, and his voice was wrapped in a lingering heaviness.
He seemed to have chewed up the rules of this world and swallowed them into his stomach, only to make a soft sound when he spit them out.
Ye Chen turned a deaf ear, just lowered his eyes and picked up a piece of amber-colored sauced meat with silver chopsticks, and slowly put it into his mouth.
The chewing movement was smooth and smooth, as if Master of Cloud Crane Tower's words were just a gust of wind passing by outside the window, not even blowing the hem of his clothes.
Youruo was busy pouring wine for himself at the moment. When the jug was tilted, the amber liquid slid down the spout into the white porcelain wine glass, splashing fine hops.
She didn't even glance at Master of Cloud Crane Tower, she held the edge of the cup with her fingertips and turned it half a circle, focusing only on the fact that the wine in the cup just covered the tangled branches on the wall of the cup, and completely ignored his words.
Xie Purou's slender eyelashes trembled, and a cold light flashed in her eyes that were as bright as tempered stars.
Her eyes flickered, and the corners of her mouth curved into a sharp arc. Her voice was clear but sarcastic. "You mean, you can't just look at the behavior, but also the other person's background, right?!"
Although she is young, her eyes are clear and unambiguous.
Master of Cloud Crane Tower The words were convoluted, but she understood them clearly.
It's nothing more than that if a powerless person does something bad, everyone can point at his nose and call him "bad guy", and the spittle can drown him.
But if there are intricate forces behind the person who does bad things, holding power that no one else dares to touch, then the word "bad guy" is like a curse, and no one dares to say it easily.
If such a person is really regarded as a bad person, how can he be punished?
Who in the world would dare to touch a powerful "bad guy"?
Xie Purou felt like a mirror in his heart. Master of Cloud Crane Tower's words were, in the final analysis, just to persuade them.
Even if Young Master Situ did something wrong, he still has to look at Situ Household's behemoth background to give him some face and not really pursue him.
Poor people are considered bad people if they do bad things, but people with status can still be praised as "good people" if they do bad things?
She didn't recognize this truth.
Master of Cloud Crane Tower was choked up by Xie Purou's sarcasm that pierced his heart, but he didn't become angry.
But the helplessness on her face faded a little, and instead she gave a faint smile, with a bit of "sure enough" in her eyes. "The girl is talented and smart, she knows what I want to say."
There was a pause in his words, and he leaned forward, his tone was a little lower, and he asked with a hint of admonishment, "However, what I want to say more is, you have done what you think is just, but what are the consequences? Have you ever thought about it???"
"I've thought about it."
Xie Purou didn't even think about it, and answered the words simply, without any hesitation in his eyes, "The consequence is that Situ Household will be completely destroyed and no longer needs to exist in this world!"
These words were like a thunderbolt, making Master of Cloud Crane Tower freeze instantly.
His hand holding the wine glass paused in the air, his pupils shrank slightly, the smile on his face completely froze, and he even missed a beat of breath.
He never expected that this little girl, who looked to be in her teens or 20s, would give such a shocking answer.
Destroy Situ Household?
Master of Cloud Crane Tower took a deep breath in his heart.
He didn't even dare to think about this idea!
Situ Household has been entrenched in this land for hundreds of years, and its forces have penetrated into every corner like an old tree with its roots. Who dares to open his mouth and say that he wants to uproot this "big tree"?
So outrageous!
It's simply unbelievable!
