Chapter Seventy-Three Return to the Shop
When the crowd of five people dispersed, only Ye Chen and Chen Tao's figures remained, standing in place looking at each other, both with very unsightly expressions.
"Go back, as long as they are in Beicheng, even if they hide in a rat hole, we can find them." The middle-aged man who was the leader said with a gloomy face. The others nodded in agreement.
Ye Chen and Chen Tao threw money to escape, although they escaped with their lives, but the vagrant coins that had just been obtained for a short time were gone again. The two became poor again, and both of them were seriously injured.
The two of them were already close to the city gate, and after walking for a while, they would be able to leave the city. This wandering city was more convenient than Xing City, as there were no guards at the city gate and no checks on people entering or leaving.
However, the two of them thought too much, this is not ruled out in normal situations, and even in special times there are still people coming.
As the two men approached the city gate, rows of green-clad men with weapons were sternly checking people in and out.
This aroused the anger of those entering and leaving, but when the man in green clothes showed his token from the Northern City Gang, these people all fell silent.
Who in this city doesn't know Beicheng Gang? Who isn't aware of the four major gangs' dominance, even newcomers are informed by others.
So although I'm furious about this kind of thing, all I can do is grit my teeth and remain silent.
It's okay, Beicheng Gang also knows that they can't let people be angry and resentful, so they just check their appearance and whether they have made up.
Ye Chen and Chen Tao rushed here desperately, who had time to dress up? When they saw the guards at the gate, both of them suddenly felt a chill in their hearts.
From the discontented words of the passing pedestrians, they knew that this was the Northern City Gang checking people, and coincidentally, it was just when the two of them wanted to leave the city. The Northern City Gang came to check people, which made Ye Chen and Chen Tao think that this was prepared for the two of them.
Ye Chen and Chen Tao exchanged a glance, both seeing a definite answer in each other's eyes. The two retreated, now leaving the city would undoubtedly be jumping into the net.
The two men were far away from the city gate, but even within the scope of this northern city, it was not very safe. From the mouths of these people in the city, I learned that the Northern City Gang had a huge influence, and almost all things in the Northern City could not escape the eyes of the Northern City Gang.
The two of them stayed at the city gate for a bit too long and would eventually be noticed by someone, and both of them had bloodstains on their bodies, making it easy to identify them.
Ye Chen and Chen Tao returned, but in this wandering city, there was no familiar face, nowhere to hide.
The city gate can't be exited, should I go to the range covered by the other three forces? But will the East, South and West gangs help the North City gang?
Ye Chen and Chen Tao did not know about this, by rights several factions should be in a state of mutual contention to maintain balance, there should be contradictions, but when it comes to interests, it's hard to say.
So they thought and thought, but still felt that they couldn't go to the other three gangs' territory, where they were also unfamiliar.
The two of them unknowingly arrived at the entrance of the store they first entered. Looking at the elixirs being sold inside, Ye Chen thought about how he was recently deceived by a little girl from this very shop.
The two wanted to leave this place that made them both unhappy, but Ye Chen walked a few steps and suddenly pulled Chen Tao back.
"Cough, cough!" Chen Tao coughed twice, then looked at Ye Chen with some confusion and said: "Chenzi, cough, ah, why are you back here? Haven't you been slaughtered enough?"
"There is someone ahead who is monitoring us." Ye Chen said cautiously.
"What?" Chen Tao was shocked, and in just a few steps, he was already being monitored.
"Don't talk, go in." Ye Chen said to Chen Tao.
"Welcome, oh it's you two?" The girl called Xiaowei was still there doing her job properly, and after the habitual welcome, she saw Ye Chen and Chen Tao, and exclaimed in surprise.
"En." Ye Chen nodded, and the bloodstains on his body could tell that he had run into trouble.
Xiao Wei was also a thoughtful person, seeing the two of them come in with bloodstains on their bodies, she knew that these two people who had just entered the city must have been newcomers, provoked someone they shouldn't have, fought with others, and were severely injured.
Xiaowei has encountered many such cases, these newcomers often don't know the height of the sky or the thickness of the earth, with an attitude as if they think they are invincible, but the final outcome is usually not very good.
But entering this store is also considered lucky, Xiaowei glanced at the counter and smiled to continue serving the two people.
The water spirit was lying on the counter with nothing to do, staring at the newcomer with a pair of beautiful big eyes, but not serving them.
When she saw Ye Chen and Chen Tao walk in, her beautiful big eyes lit up instantly, and the whole person became more vivid.
However, when she saw the bloodstains on Ye Chen and Chen Tao's bodies, Shuiling furrowed her brow slightly, apparently thinking of the same thing as Xiaowei.
"We want to go out of town!" Ye Chen didn't look at Xiao Wei, but instead cast his gaze towards Shui Ling'er.
"If you want to leave the city by yourself, there's no guard, why look for me?" Shuiling'er said with a frown.
"The city gate has a guard holding it." Ye Chen said simply and clearly, as for Chen Tao beside him, he didn't make a sound. It's worth noting that Chen Tao had offended Shui Ling'er before, although it's unknown whether Shui Ling'er would hold a grudge or not, but the ancient saying "only women and petty men are difficult to raise" is enough to prove that women are unreliable.
"The guards at the city gate caught two people who committed crimes in Beicheng Gang, no, it couldn't be you two, could it?" Shuiling'er stood up with some surprise. The incident of Beicheng Gang was something that Shuiling'er knew about. Eight Mortal Realm cultivators were killed and two Pre-Heavenly Realm cultivators were slain, what a sensational event!
If it were an ordinary person, dying one or two innate realms wouldn't be a big deal. But when this happens to the Northern City Gang's face, it becomes more than just a small problem.
Ye Chen nodded slightly, which was taken as a response.
"You're quite bold, daring to provoke someone from the North City Gang. You really are tired of living." Shuiling'er walked out with a furrowed brow and said.
"Miss, can you send us out?" Ye Chen urged Water Spirit.
"How can you be so sure I'll send you away? Aren't you afraid I'll sell you to the North City Gang?" Shuiling'er smiled slyly at Ye Chen, as if waiting for his answer.
"The young lady is a person of status, and if she wants to come, she must have a way. As for being afraid or not, saying she's not afraid would be a lie, but even if she's afraid, Ye Chen doesn't have a better choice." Ye Chen spoke the truth, if this woman didn't help, then they would have no choice but to resort to a bloody battle.
"How did you know I'm not a vagrant?" Shuiling was surprised by Yechen's words, originally interested in this man because of his calm and decisive nature, now it seemed he could tell if someone had status or not.
"Ordinary drifters are humble and weak, only able to lower their heads and pray for others' charity. Powerful drifters are unrestrained and won't be tied down to a small place, but can roam freely among the demonic beasts - they have absolute strength. But I see that you neither have the humility of an ordinary drifter nor the strength of a powerful one... so there's only one possibility: Miss Shui's identity is not simple." Ye Chen said slowly.
