Chapter 2445: Destroying the City Lord’s Estate (Two)

The instant the old man died, a powerful senses of the soul suddenly swept through the Scarlet Water City, engulfing all the streets.

The owner of the senses of the soul was a peak Godking. Originally, it would have been impossible for him to discover Jian Chen’s existence with the strength of the senses of his soul.

However, Jian Chen did not hide himself. He let out his presence slightly, disguising himself as an early Godking.

As a result, he was clearly exposed before the senses of the soul.

“Hmph!”

A cold snort rang out in Jian Chen’s head. It was filled with killing intent.

At the same time, the ground of Scarlet Water City suddenly shook. A powerful formation rose up, enveloping the entire Scarlet Water City. Even all the teleportation formations there stopped operating.

In an instant, the entire city was cut off from the outside world.

Jian Chen glanced past the protective formation of Scarlet Water City before looking in the direction of the city lord’s estate. He did not let this bother him. Instead, he looked at the young lady and asked, “Little sister, where are your parents?”

With that, the young lady seemed to forget about her fear. Her eyes reddened, and she slowly told him about her background.

As it turned out, her name was Fang Jing’er. She was only sixteen this year. Both her parents passed away right after she was born. She was single-handedly raised by her grandfather.

Her grandfather an insignificant person who lived at the bottom of society in the Saints’ World. He was only a Saint Emperor, not even at the Origin realm.

Even with that being the case, although Fang Jing’er did not have endless cultivation resources, she was still able to live a life without worrying about the basic necessities.

However, good things never lasted. Her grandfather was injured in the city three years ago. He was at death’s door and could pass away at any time.

After losing her grandfather’s support, Fang Jing’er began to depend on herself. She copied a map of the Scarlet Water City her grandfather found many years ago, creating crude maps by hand to sell. Then she used the divine crystals generated by the maps to buy low level medicinal pills that cost a hundred low grade divine crystals for her grandfather.

“My grandfather needs to eat a pill a month to stay alive. It has already been over twenty days, and I’ve already sold nine maps this month. I only need to sell one more before I gather all the divine crystals needed for a pill. Fortunately, they didn’t take me away, or I would have never been able to sell ten maps. If I don’t feed my grandfather the pill, he’ll die. These people are just evil…” Fang Jing’er was still shaken. She only thought about her grandfather now.

Jian Chen sighed as he listened to the young lady’s difficult, miserable fate. After a moment of thought, he said, “I plan on going to the city lord’s estate. Little sister, just come with us. I want you to personally witness the people who wanted to capture you vanish before your eyes.”

Jian Chen also understood that this might be far too horrific a sight to a young lady who had not completely grown up.

However, this was the Saints’ World, a world where the strong preyed on the weak. The only way to survive was to adapt to the laws.

At the same time, three middle-aged men sat at a round table within the city lord’s estate. The table was covered in various delicious dishes.
