“Don’t touch him!” Hearing the leading woman’s intention to capture Qin Chu, Mu Xuan immediately spoke to stop her.
“This Seat will apologize to Young Miss Qi after returning, but abducting Young Miss Qi is a serious crime. Take him down!” The leading woman didn’t give Mu Xuan any Face.
Qin Chu stood up, “I originally thought Silver Moon Palace was good, but now it seems it’s nothing special. I can even get into trouble just by saving someone.”
At this moment, Qin Chu was a bit angry. What he hated most was trouble, because trouble would delay his time and the progress of investigating his own background.
“Take him down!” The leading woman commanded again.
Mu Xuan moved to intercept, but was blocked by the leading woman.
The Azure Spirit Sword unsheathed, and Qin Chu began fighting the people from Silver Moon Palace. All the attackers were Fourth-Stage Cultivators. Without displaying Sword Intent and Sword Spirit Realm, it would be impossible for Qin Chu to quickly subdue them, so he could only use his trump card.
Clang! A clear sound rang out. The Qi on Qin Chu’s longsword changed, becoming incredibly sharp. The Silver Moon Palace Disciples who were besieging Qin Chu were all suppressed. Qin Chu had unleashed his Sword Intent.
With the enhancement of Sword Intent, Qin Chu’s Startling God Sword Art, combined with basic sword techniques, made every move incredibly lethal.
Since there was no deep-seated hatred, Qin Chu didn’t strike with full force, instead aiming for their arms and shoulders to incapacitate them.
A moment later, the Silver Moon Palace Disciples were in disarray, all defeated and incapacitated by Qin Chu. When the leading woman was about to attack Qin Chu, Mu Xuan stepped forward to block her.
“Run! You saved me once, and I, Mu Xuan, remember it. I’m very sorry for the trouble this matter has brought you.” Mu Xuan shouted to Qin Chu. This situation was unexpected for her; she hadn’t thought the people from Silver Moon Palace would attack Qin Chu.
“Then I’ll leave. The Jianghu is dangerous, be careful!” Shouting to Mu Xuan, Qin Chu’s body flickered, and he left the inn. Beast carriage? At this moment, where would he find time for a beast carriage?
“You can’t leave yet!” A man in black appeared. The black-clad man’s energy erupted, directly suppressing Qin Chu. He wasn’t a Sixth-Stage King Realm Cultivator, but his strength was extremely formidable.
Can’t escape!
Qin Chu was helpless; he simply couldn’t defeat them. The woman Mu Xuan was blocking was strong, and this man in black was even stronger.
The leading white-robed woman and Mu Xuan also stopped fighting. Since Qin Chu couldn’t run, their fight was meaningless.
“Elder Zhou, he saved me and brought me back. What do you mean by wanting to arrest him?” Mu Xuan said, looking at the woman who wanted to arrest Qin Chu. She was Zhou Mei, one of the Elders of the Silver Moon Palace’s Elder Hall.
“Young Miss Qi, whether he abducted you from Silver Moon Palace needs investigation. Furthermore, it’s hard to say if he had ulterior motives, intentionally staying by Young Miss Qi’s side.” Zhou Mei said, glancing at Qin Chu.
“Elder Zhou, you can’t just make assumptions. I left Silver Moon Palace on my own. He merely encountered me by chance when I was injured by ruffians and saved me. Moreover, after we finished this drink at the inn, he was going to leave. We cannot wrong an innocent person.” Mu Xuan’s emotions were a bit agitated.
“We won’t wrong an innocent person, but Silver Moon Palace is currently in a period of turmoil, so some matters must be investigated thoroughly.” Zhou Mei still had no intention of letting Qin Chu go.
Qin Chu looked at Zhou Mei, his eyes full of coldness. This was clearly someone who acted purely based on her own subjective judgment.
Mu Xuan looked at the man in black, “Junior Martial Uncle, is Silver Moon Palace now just arbitrarily arresting people without reason?”
“Xuan’er, it’s not that Junior Martial Uncle is arbitrarily arresting people. He caused our Silver Moon Palace Disciples to be in such disarray; that’s too unsightly. There will always be justice for what’s right and wrong. Young man, don’t glare. If you are unrelated to these matters, this Seat will not make things difficult for you.” The black-robed man said. He was Yang Tianfeng, the City Lord of Crescent City, and also Mu Xuan’s Junior Martial Uncle.
Qin Chu ignored Yang Tianfeng and Zhou Mei, instead looking at Mu Xuan, “See? I told you to get off the beast carriage earlier. You go your way, I go mine. Alas! There’s still no reasoning to be had. You can investigate!”
“What’s your name, and where are you from?” Zhou Mei looked at Qin Chu.
“Are you f*cking sick? Go investigate yourself!” Looking at Zhou Mei, Qin Chu’s eyes were full of anger.
“You’re asking for death!” Zhou Mei was enraged. She was an Elder of Silver Moon Palace, and Qin Chu actually dared to curse her.
“Enough! He is my savior, Elder Zhou, what exactly do you want to do? If you don’t believe him, go investigate yourself!” Mu Xuan was furious. Qin Chu was detained entirely because of her, and this Zhou Mei was going too far.
Zhou Mei wanted to say something else, but at this moment, Yang Tianfeng waved his hand, stopping her from speaking further, “Xuan’er, since you’ve arrived in Crescent City, Junior Martial Uncle should at least entertain you. Let’s go to the City Lord’s Mansion; young man, don’t be afraid, this Seat won’t make things difficult for you.”
Mu Xuan looked at Qin Chu, “Don’t run, I’ll take responsibility if anything happens.”
“Can I even run? You’re really a pitfall!” Qin Chu looked at Mu Xuan with helpless eyes. What he worried about most was unexpected complications, but now they had arrived. He couldn’t discern Zhou Mei’s Cultivation, but the pressure she exerted wasn’t too great. He believed that even if he couldn’t win, he could still run. However, Yang Tianfeng was too strong; he could suppress him with just his energy, definitely a powerful expert in the Fifth-Stage Heavenly Origin Realm.
Yang Tianfeng led a group of people to the City Lord’s Mansion in Crescent City.
Entering the City Lord’s Mansion hall, Yang Tianfeng sat in the main seat, “Xuan’er, you and this young man will temporarily stay at the City Lord’s Mansion. Elder Zhou, you may go investigate!”
Zhou Mei looked at all her injured Disciples around her, then her gaze fell on Qin Chu, “You better not have any loose ends that I can catch.”
Glaring at Qin Chu, Zhou Mei left. Only Yang Tianfeng, Mu Xuan, and Qin Chu remained in the hall.
“Junior Martial Uncle, this Zhou Mei is just looking for trouble. Their Grand Elder faction just wants to capture me and take me back, then reconcile with the Cold Star Imperial Dynasty.” Mu Xuan said, “Junior Martial Uncle knows that Elder Xue has come out of seclusion, so they can’t stir up trouble, but don’t you two cause Junior Martial Uncle any problems.” Yang Tianfeng said, looking at Mu Xuan and Qin Chu.
“Qin Chu, I’m sorry! I didn’t expect things to turn out this way. I originally planned to thank you and then send you off.” Mu Xuan looked at Qin Chu with eyes full of apology, as these were all consequences brought about by her imposing on Qin Chu.
“I don’t want to invite trouble, but if trouble comes, there’s nothing I can do. I don’t understand, how will they investigate? We just met by chance.” Qin Chu said.
“It’s not really an investigation; they’re probably reporting back to the Sect. Junior Martial Uncle, Xuan’er can confirm that Qin Chu and Xuan’er just met by chance. He had no ulterior motives. It was I who stayed on his beast carriage for several days, and he repeatedly tried to make me get off and leave…” Mu Xuan stopped halfway, because it was too embarrassing.
Yang Tianfeng looked at Qin Chu, “Mu Xuan is our Silver Moon Palace’s Young Miss Qi. Are you being dishonorable?”
Qin Chu was speechless. The question of whether he had ulterior motives hadn’t even been clarified, and now the question of honor had come up.
