Chapter 485 - His Last Name Is Chen (2/2)

She didn’t want to see Yu Wenjin being taken away from her, but neither did she try anything to protect her. After all, Yu Wenjin was just a tool, however precious she was. Therefore, when the Grand Magus came knocking on her door and asked for the girl, she offered her up without protesting.

“You… you… sigh!”

The indifference of his peers and stoked the anger inside of Bai Wuji. He stomped the ground a few times and then slammed a fist on the table, but all the while, he couldn’t say a complete sentence to speak up for the girl. In the end, he heaved a sigh and said.

“Do you have any idea who Yu Wenjin was?”

“Humph! A useless little wrench from a backwater village.”

Before anyone said anything, a girl with an attractive face put in. Her voice had an edge to it.

This girl looked just like Seu Yunzhi, and was equally attractive. She was Seu Yunzhi’s daughter, Seu Nanan

Seu Nanan never liked Yu Wenjin. She despised Yu Wenjin’s lowly background and envied her extraordinary talent. When she heard that Yu Wenjin was taken away from the Seu family, she even felt lighthearted.

“Indeed! We all know that she is a descendant of the Yu family in Miao’s Land. She was picked out by Young Lord and was sent to Jiang Bei. You then killed Young Lord and took her to the Seu Family of Grand Yin. What else is there to know about her? Do you have feelings for this girl?”

Lii Family lord smiled sarcastically.

Bai Wuji had risen to power after he claimed that he had laid low the Young Lord in Jiang Bei. The Bai family also became the second most powerful family in Southwest Province, next only to the s.h.i.+ Family.

“Fine. I guess it’s time to tell you guys what really happened.”

Bai Wuji let out a wry smile.

“Are you really that naive to believe that I have killed the young lord? He is a half-step away from Dharma Cultivation, for G.o.d’s sake, not to mention all those deadly trinkets he carried with him. Even if I had killed him, why do you think the Grand Magus had allowed me to live till this day?”

“What?”

His words confused his listeners.

They had their doubts before, but in the end, they believed that Bai Wuji must have used some secret Dharma Artifact of the Bai family during the fight. After all, the young lord was not yet a Perfected Cultivator so his death was not impossible.

“You didn’t kill Young Lord?”

Lord Lii’s face suddenly changed.

Even the stately looking old man who had been sitting and listening to the conversation quietly opened his eyes.

“Of course not me! Don’t you know how powerful he is, adding on that Primordial Ghost Flute, I wouldn’t have defeated him even if I doubled my power. Someone else did it, someone, who was closely related to Yu Wenjin. He had ordered me to look after Yu Wenjin after she returned to Southeast Province.”

Bai Wuji said fervently.

“Oh? Now I remember that Yu Wenjin told me that she has a cla.s.smate who was extremely powerful. I asked the girl her cla.s.smate’s name, but her lips were sealed. I always thought she was just pulling my leg.”

Seu Nanan exclaimed.

“Lord Bai, are you afraid of that guy?”

Lii Family Lord asked sarcastically.

“Hehe. The Ghost Witch Sect aside, even the six of us would never be afraid of a teenager. Even if our defense fell short, we still have the support of Perfected Cultivator s.h.i.+.”

The quiet old man ran his fingers through his beard and

He was the family Lord of the s.h.i.+ Family, a Perfected Cultivator.

“Hehe. If you knew who that person is, you wouldn’t say that.” Bai Wuji let out a cold smile.

“Who is he?”

Lord Yuan narrowed his eyes and asked offhandedly.

“He was born in Jiang Bei, and so some people call him Master Chen of Jiang Bei. I wager you might not have heard of that, but you must be familiar with another one of his names.”

Bai Wuji paused as he put on a solemn expression.

“Chen Beixuan!”

“What?”

The revelation had set everyone back on their heels. Even Perfected Cultivator s.h.i.+ rounded his eyes in shock and disbelief. Meanwhile, Lord Lii was so terrified by the name he fell from his chair and collapsed to the floor.

Chen Beixuan?

The number one warrior on the Heaven roll and the Living Legend?

Even though the six family clans were located in Southeast Province, they heard of Chen Fan’s name and knew he was the only person listed on the re-opened Divine Roll.

“Chen… Chen Beixuan”

Seu Yunzhi’s face paled.

This name and his military t.i.tle were both well known by overlords all over the world.

They also knew that Chen Fan was a very vengeful person, and would not hesitate to kill. Many people even compare his brutality with that of the Great Magus from the Dark Witch Sect who lived three hundred years ago

“Do you know why I am so worried now?” Bai Wuji managed to squeeze a smile onto his face and said: “If Chen Beixuan comes to question us about the girl’s disappearance, what are we going to say to him? ”

The others looked at each other fearfully. Even the Perfected Cultivator s.h.i.+ had lost his calm and his face was taut with distress.

Lord Bai’s comment had hit the mark. Even as everyone wondered if they should join forces and rescue the girl, a guard came in and said: “My lords, there is a couple at the door who want to see you. The man said he knew you, and he is from Si Shui.”

“And he said his last name is Chen.”

The Guard added.

A deadly silence fell over the room as if the announcement had cast a magical spell that turned everyone dumb.

Meanwhile, life and color quickly drained away from the attendee’s faces.
