Chapter 551: I told you to scram! (1/2)

Shun Long wasn't surprised when he heard this voice and saw the customers instantly stepping to the side and opening a path for 2 middle-aged men and a young man to walk towards them.

He had already scanned the shop with his soul sense from the moment that he entered inside it, and had instantly sensed that 2 men at the peak of rank 5 of the Nascent Soul, as well as a man at the early rank 9 of the Spirit realm who were sitting at the shop's depths together.

Naturally, the 2 men were Dai Lim and Dai Hao, the 2 peak rank 5 Nascent Soul stage cultivators who were now walking towards Shun Long. As for the person who was at the early rank 9 of the Spirit realm, it was obviously the green-robed young man who was walking by their side.

The person who had spoken was actually the middle-aged man on the left. His expression had turned furious when he saw the old man's headless body that was lying on the ground, but the moment he saw Shun Long's yellow robes, his expression instantly changed as he suddenly halted his steps.

The middle-aged man on the right had a similar reaction as well, as he instantly realized that Shun Long must be an outer disciple of the Holy sect.

Even if he was just an early rank 3 Nascent Soul stage cultivator, they knew that they couldn't publicly kill a disciple of the Holy sect in their shop, or there would be no place left for them within the Holy sect's territory.

After all, killing Shun Long privately during a bodyguard mission where no one would find out about it like Su Bao and Su Dong planned to, and killing him in broad daylight inside Yanzhu city were 2 completely different things.

At the end of the day, Yanzhu city was an official city inside the Holy sect's territory, and the 2 families that governed the city deferred to the Holy sect.

The moment that the 2 brothers laid their hands on him, they knew that they were doomed to be chased from the forces of both the Zhu and the Yan family until they died.

At that moment, Dai Lim and Dai Hao seemed to have realized something, as they both turned their heads towards the young man behind them at the same time.

The young man seemed to have also realized what was going on, as he nodded his head towards them with a reassuring expression on his face, before he turned his gaze towards Shun Long.

With a calm look on his face, he took a few steps forward towards him, before he said without a hint of anxiousness or fear in his expression

''It looks like you are an outer disciple of the Holy sect, right? What's your name and which family do you come from? Hmm, based on how low your cultivation is, you must be someone newly admitted to the Holy sect. Is there a feud between you and the Dai brothers or is there some other reason you are here?''

Yan Wen immediately threw a barrage of questions towards Shun Long, completely uncaring of his identity as an outer disciple of the Holy sect.

At that moment, the middle-aged man on his right immediately took a step forward when he heard this, and looking at the green-robed young man next to him he said politely

''Young master Yan Wen, neither I nor Dai Hao have ever met with him before! Maybe he is here because someone has targeted our shop?''
