Chapter 1455 - 1370: Schemes
Not a worthy opponent!
With just one glance, Dugu Jifeng knew that in front of the man surnamed Ye, he was not a worthy opponent at all.
If the other wanted to kill him, it would only take a few moments with ease.
His face involuntarily showed a look of fear.
He instinctively stepped back several steps, looking at Ye Guichen with caution.
Ye Guichen, however, acted as if no one was around and said, "Alright, Chu Chu, you all wait here for me, I'll go and catch that fraud myself."
Saying this, he was about to leave.
Dugu Jifeng panicked.
If Ye Guichen left now, it would be difficult to find him again.
Moreover, what if Ye Guichen was truly in league with those two frauds, how could he come back if he left?
At this moment, dust billowed from afar.
A group of people came galloping.
The crowd scattered to both sides, quickly making way for that group.
"It's people from Wan Jian Villa!"
"There are so many, three or four dozen of them came!"
"Quick, look, they're all carrying swords and look fierce."
The crowd looked at the approaching group with apprehension, then stepped back a few steps.
The person leading the Wan Jian Villa came straight to Dugu Jifeng, cupping his hands towards him, "Young Master Dugu, did you send the distress signal?"
Dugu Jifeng straightened his back slightly.
Now that his people were here, it shouldn't be difficult to capture Ye Guichen.
"That's right, that fraud used a fake snow lotus to cheat me out of ten thousand spirit stones, quickly catch him and let his accomplices bring back the spirit stones to ransom him."
Dugu Jifeng pointed at Ye Guichen, angrily scolded.
The lead disciple glanced at Ye Guichen, but his eyes couldn't help but fall on Feng Chuchu, seeing her leaning closely toward Ye Guichen, looking intimate, he frowned, "Miss, why are you here too?"
"Why can't I be here!" Feng Chuchu proudly raised her chin, "You all are listening to Dugu Jifeng's nonsense, Brother Chen is not a fraud at all, he's being framed! Hmph!"
"This..."
The people from Wan Jian Villa suddenly felt awkward.
Dugu Jifeng is Dugu Yue's son, second to Feng Chuchu in the entire Wan Jian Villa.
But recently there have been rumors that Feng Chuchu will marry Dugu Jifeng in the future.
In that case, the villa master of Wan Jian Villa would likely be Dugu Jifeng.
Since this is the case, who would dare to offend Dugu Jifeng?
But in this situation, Feng Chuchu seems to be protecting the man surnamed Ye.
To really catch him would be to offend Feng Chuchu.
"Excuse me, Young Master Dugu, could there be some misunderstanding here?" The people from Wan Jian Villa hesitated for a long time and still dared not make a move.
"What misunderstanding, no misunderstanding!" Dugu Jifeng, with anger and frustration, said, "Quickly catch him, not only has he bewitched Chu Chu, he has made Chu Chu stand by his side, he also conspired with frauds to swindle me out of ten thousand spirit stones, if he escapes, can you bear the responsibility?"
Upon hearing this, everyone was suddenly conflicted.
Indeed, what if what Dugu Jifeng said was true, they definitely couldn't bear the responsibility.
"Ahem, Young Master Dugu, but if Miss is angry..."
"Don't worry, I'll take the blame, she's been deceived now, once that guy gets exposed, Miss will definitely come to her senses!" Dugu Jifeng gritted his teeth, said firmly.
With Dugu Jifeng's assurance, the people from Wan Jian Villa also felt relieved.
"What are you waiting for, capture him!" The leader made no more hesitation, waved his hand, and a group surrounded Ye Guichen.
Feng Chuchu was cursing on the side, still trying to intervene, but was stopped by Ye Guichen: "Miss Chu Chu, I appreciate your intention, but today this matter has nothing to do with you, you don't need to involve yourself, lest you feel troubled. Of course, if they dare to make a move, I won't be taken so easily."
Ye Guichen smiled warmly and looked at those from Wan Jian Villa: "Let me remind you, your Second Master Dugu has ulterior motives, and since this Dugu Jifeng is Dugu Yue's son, he will likely be implicated in the future. If you don't want to be implicated with him, you might want to turn a blind eye to today's affairs."
"Damn, kid, what nonsense are you saying!" Seeing Ye Guichen slandering his father, Dugu Jifeng exploded, "Are you trying to make a final stand? Haha, I think you're just asking for trouble."
Glared at those from Wan Jian Villa: "What are you waiting for, this guy has some skills, just use the Extermination Immortal Sword Formation, catch him first and talk later."
The people from Wan Jian Villa frowned.
Of course, they wouldn't believe Ye Guichen's words.
After all, from their perspective, Ye Guichen is just an outsider.
Especially since he said Dugu Yue had ulterior motives.
Others are Second Master already, both identity and status are very revered, greatly valued by Feng Jiuling, and later will become an in-law to Feng Jiuling, what ulterior motives could there be?
Thinking about this, Ye Guichen's words seemed even more false.
"Quick, form the array!"
With the voice falling, people unexpectedly all drew their swords, and started forming a sword array on the scene.
Seeing them about to make a move, Feng Chuchu was frightened.
She was very familiar with this so-called Extermination Immortal Sword Formation.
Although this sword formation couldn't truly exterminate immortals, within Wan Jian Villa, it was still a foremost formation.
Even his father, Feng Jiuling, was trapped by this sword array and couldn't escape for a while.
"You, what are you doing! Do you believe that I'll go back and tell my father to punish you?" Chu Chu shouted loudly.
But it was of no use; no one listened to her now. They all felt she was deceived by Ye Guichen.
Yang Di initially wanted to stop it, but he could see the situation clearly on the spot.
Today, even if Ye Guichen was innocent, no one would believe him.
The only way was to find those two conmen and explain it clearly to Wan Jian Villa.
Otherwise, he couldn't clear himself from the suspicion of colluding with the fraudsters.
Moreover, he had just injured Dugu Jifeng, and with Chu Chu's influence, Dugu Jifeng would definitely not let Ye Guichen off easily.
Troublesome!
However, being a disciple of Wan Jian Villa, Yang Di also knew the flaw of this Extermination Immortal Sword Formation.
As long as she was outside the sword array, she could attack at any time to break the array.
If she saw Ye Guichen in danger, she could intervene in time.
Ye Guichen saw that the people from Wan Jian Villa were really about to make a move, so he shook his head and sighed: "Enough, since you don't want to listen, let me catch those two conmen first, and then we'll talk."
With that, Ye Guichen spread his hand.
A hundred swords shot forth.
Seeing the hundred swords suspended behind Ye Guichen, everyone was shocked.
Especially those from Wan Jian Villa, who were utterly dumbfounded.
Also playing with swords, why did it feel like his skill was so sophisticated?
"Quick, form the array!" shouted the leader of Wan Jian Villa.
The disciples formed the sword array and rushed toward Ye Guichen.
Ye Guichen did not dodge; with a thought, he swung out the hundred swords.
Only the sound of cracking was heard.
Ye Guichen's swords intertwined with the sword array of Wan Jian Villa.
Then, without exception, all the swords from Wan Jian Villa shattered.
Ye Guichen intended to teach them a lesson and did not stop, but made the hundred swords turn.
Swipe, swipe, swipe!
The swords precisely cut at those people's wrists, severing their tendons and veins.
Screams echoed nonstop.
The so-called Extermination Immortal Sword Formation was shattered like tofu.
Yang Di was startled.
She had never seen anyone break a sword array so effortlessly.
Dugu Jifeng was even more terrified, hiding directly behind his two subordinates.
The others were also stunned, looking at Ye Guichen with completely changed eyes.
No one could stop Ye Guichen.
Ye Guichen's prowess was unparalleled at the moment.
Ye Guichen coldly glanced at Dugu Jifeng: "Fine, just wait at Wan Jian Villa, I will bring those two conmen to you."
After speaking, he turned and left.
No one dared to block him.
Watching Ye Guichen's back, Chu Chu held her cheeks with her hands and fell into a slight daze.
Ye Guichen was giving Wan Jian Villa a chance.
If they remained stubborn, he wouldn't be polite anymore.
After Ye Guichen left, he quickly found a secluded corner and released the remnant soul from the Jiuyou Tower to track down those conmen.
The result was surprising; Ye Guichen discovered they hadn't gone far and were still hiding nearby, secretly watching.
They seemed to be eager to enjoy the outcome of their scheme.
Especially seeing the victims fuming with rage, they apparently derived immense satisfaction from it.
"Heh, that Young Master of Wan Jian Villa is a real sucker, who would have thought he'd be so easily conned out of ten thousand spirit stones, I say brother, we won't need to make a move for a while, huh?"
Not far in a teahouse, a beggar and a portly middle-aged man sat inside.
From their spot, they could see the site of the incident clearly.
No one would have thought that after cheating, the conmen wouldn't run away but would watch from such a close distance.
Even if Dugu Jifeng noticed something amiss, he'd probably have people block the exits rather than think the two were leisurely having tea in a teahouse.
The beggar sipped his tea, satisfied, "I say brother, let's split the money and enjoy some leisure for some time. But we can't stay near Wan Jian Villa; if they catch us, our little lives won't be safe."
"Pah, what are you afraid of!" The portly middle-aged man said nonchalantly, "You saw what happened earlier. That Ye kid has been pegged as our accomplice. Heh heh. Later, we can quietly spread some rumors, draw Wan Jian Villa's attention to that kid; since that kid can fight, who will notice us?"
The beggar looked up, his eyes gleaming, and sighed, "Zhu Biao, you're right, heh heh, that kid's our scapegoat, let's blame his bad luck."
"Bad luck? Right?" Little did they know, just as they were plotting against Ye Guichen, a teasing voice sounded.
The two looked up and their pupils contracted sharply.
