Chapter 1383: I'm Afraid You Won't Be Able to Be a Man Today

No one expected it!

Except for Ye Yuan, no one expected it!

Ye Yuan just killed her like that!

The entire venue fell silent for several breaths, their minds struggling to keep up.

Even the chubby Xie Jingyi was completely dumbfounded.

Although his year-long investigation had been shocking, his original intention was merely to express an attitude.

Even though he felt Qin Peiyu deserved death, he had never truly intended to execute her, only to teach her a lesson.

This time, Ye Yuan had really poked a hole in the sky!

"Why wouldn't I dare to act? Her crimes warrant death a hundred times over," Ye Yuan said calmly, seeing nothing wrong with his actions.

"You, you, you... Where's the evidence? Where's the evidence!" Xie Zhaoyun suddenly roared.

"Killed is killed; what need for evidence?" Ye Yuan shrugged.

"Killed... well done!"

"Well done!"

"This demoness should have died long ago!"

...

The onlookers seemed slow to react, only now coming to their senses and erupting in thunderous cheers.

Almost unanimously!

This Qin Peiyu deserved to die!

Ye Yuan looked at Xie Zhaoyun and said calmly, "You see? This is the will of the people! This wench has long incurred the wrath of both gods and men!"

"Killed... well done! This wench's death is not enough to atone for her crimes!" Xie Jingyi suddenly stepped forward and declared loudly, "Listen up, people of the Qin family! This matter started because of me. If you have any tricks, come at me! Fatty here will take them all!"

Before the chubby boy had finished speaking, a terrifying aura locked onto him.

A figure leaped up, raised a hand, and struck toward him and Ye Yuan.

This strike was overwhelming, carrying the might of heaven and earth.

This person was none other than Qin Nantian!

"Ye Yuan, you brat! If I, Qin Nantian, don't destroy you today, I swear I'm not a man!"

A palm strike from a Guixu powerhouse—how could Ye Yuan and Xie Jingyi, mere Dongxuan martial artists, withstand it?

But Ye Yuan showed no intention of defending. He simply stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly, "Then I'm afraid you won't be able to be a man today."

Just then, another incredibly powerful palm strike shot out from the side.

"Boom!"

The shockwave from the clash of two Guixu powerhouses sent weaker martial artists below the stage tumbling.

Qin Nantian's gaze sharpened, and he said coldly, "Chi Fang, what is the meaning of this? Don't forget where you are! Matters of the Wumeng Royal City are not for the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion to meddle in!"

This person was indeed Chi Fang!

Chi Fang glanced at Ye Yuan, also looking helpless.

He hadn't expected this guy to be so decisive, killing without hesitation.

But under these circumstances, he couldn't stand idly by, so he had to step forward.

"Patriarch Qin, you flatter me. The Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, under the jurisdiction of the City Lord, is also a part of Wumeng Royal City. I dare not forget that," Chi Fang said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Qin Nantian's face turned cold, and he said in a deep voice, "So you're saying the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion intends to protect this brat and declare all-out war on the Qin family?"

Chi Fang smiled and said, "Patriarch Qin, in your rage, you may be speaking a bit irrationally. Ye Yuan is a guest alchemist of our Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion and also a student of the Wumeng Academy. Would it not be too much for you to kill him in the street?"

At Chi Fang's words, everyone's expression changed.

Even Qin Nantian was startled, his fury cooling slightly.

"What? This young man, at such a tender age, is actually a guest alchemist of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion?"

"The Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion has countless one-star Divine Alchemists. Why would they take on such a wet-behind-the-ears kid as a guest alchemist?"

"No wonder this kid is so confident—he has such backing!"

...

Everyone knew the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion had no shortage of alchemists!

A guest alchemist would never be just anyone, especially a one-star Divine Alchemist.

In the Wumeng Royal City branch of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, one-star Divine Alchemists were as common as oxen, and two-star ones were not few.

If Ye Yuan had no exceptional qualities, the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion would never have hired him as a guest alchemist.

"Chi Fang! You saw it too—this brat killed my daughter without any evidence! Do you think the Qin family is so easy to push around? He must die today!" Qin Nantian said coldly.

As Qin Nantian finished speaking, two more figures leaped onto the platform, surrounding Chi Fang and the other two.

All three were great experts at the Guixu realm!

No matter how strong Chi Fang was, he couldn't fight three alone.

"Tomorrow morning, the evidence will be on Commander Zhao's desk."

At that moment, a dignified voice rang out abruptly.

A figure descended from the sky, causing an uproar!

"Flying through the air! Could... could it be the City Lord himself has arrived?"

"Bah! Ignorant fool! In this Wumeng Royal City, the City Lord isn't the only one who can fly!"

"That's Han Tian, the master of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, a half-step Divine Lord powerhouse!"

...

Han Tian looked at Qin Nantian and said, "Patriarch Nantian, your love for your daughter is understandable. But your daughter has indeed committed many heinous acts that have incurred the wrath of both gods and men. It's just that everyone dared not speak out due to the Qin family's power. Since this matter involves my Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion's guest alchemist, I cannot stand idly by. Let Commander Zhao adjudicate this. What do you think, Patriarch Nantian?"

Han Tian's appearance caught Qin Nantian off guard.

What kind of figure was Han Tian?

He was on par with Qin Nantian's father, the Qin family's Supreme Elder!

In this Wumeng Royal City, aside from the City Lord, Han Tian was among the top-tier powerhouses!

When he stepped forward, his words carried entirely different weight.

Qin Nantian had never dreamed that a mere Ye Yuan could make such a big shot personally appear!

The Qin family had thoroughly investigated Ye Yuan and knew he had no real backing.

If he had any greatest reliance, it was probably the Nourishing Origin Pill.

But could a mere first-grade mid-rank divine pill make someone like Han Tian step forward?

The relationship between the Qin family and the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion was neither good nor bad.

For Han Tian to completely fall out with the Qin family over such an insignificant brat—how could that be a worthwhile deal?

Qin Nantian's expression was extremely ugly. With Han Tian having spoken to this extent, what could he do?

Matters within the city naturally required the City Lord's Mansion to adjudicate.

The Zhao Commander Han Tian mentioned was Zhao Yi, the Grand Commander of the City Guard.

The Wumeng City Lord usually didn't involve himself in affairs; city matters were generally handled by Zhao Yi.

Unless it involved powerhouses at Han Tian's level, Zhao Yi's handling was sufficient.

Since this matter had escalated to this point, it naturally needed a resolution, and Zhao Yi was the most suitable to handle it.

"Since Pavilion Master Han has personally stepped forward, I naturally dare not say more! I'll see what evidence your Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion can produce! If the evidence is insufficient, I will still personally slay this brat!" Qin Nantian said indignantly.

Han Tian said calmly, "If Ye Yuan has killed an innocent person, I naturally won't shield him."
