Chapter 4186

"Young man, you should leave. You can't save us. This is our clan's fate."

The woman continued, "Since you said it was a misunderstanding, we don't want to implicate you. You should leave."

The man stared blankly, his expression changing.

"Yes, you should leave," said the housekeeper. "My poor young miss."

Hearing this, it was even more impossible for Zi Chen to leave.

And where else could he go?

Perhaps, this was the so-called fate that everyone spoke of.

Zi Chen didn't leave. He asked for more details, and the woman told him everything.

The young city lord had taken a liking to this girl called Lian Qing and wanted to take her back by force. However, he didn't directly take her. Instead, he came up with a compromise. For example, someone in the Lian clan had colluded with the Spirit Race.

This made Zi Chen very certain that he was in the territory of the Demon Race, because in the Saint Spirit Realm, people would only say that he was in cahoots with the Demon Race, not the Spirit Race.

"If the city lord had such power, I wouldn't be surprised. But how could a mere young city lord have such power?"

Zi Chen didn't understand. "The Lian clan isn't an ordinary clan. Why didn't they have any misgivings?"

Zi Chen's soul power had already covered the entire Lian clan. This wasn't a small residence.

"Young man, you don't understand. If it really was the city lord, he would have some misgivings. But the young city lord is a member of the Demon Snake Army. He has the authority to patrol the entire Demon Realm. There are many examples of families being forced to commit crimes."

The man sighed. "This is the fate of the Lian clan, and also Qing 'er's fate!"

By now, the man had seen some clues, so his sigh was especially long. His words were filled with helplessness and despair.

Zi Chen had many questions to ask, but he didn't know how to start. He was worried that the Lian clan would see through his identity.

After all, he was a true Spirit Race member.

"That young city lord you're talking about, did he just return?" Zi Chen asked.

"The young city lord of the Demon Ward City, Huai Du. Apparently, he came back on a mission.

But I didn't expect him to take a liking to our Qing 'er. "

After the conversation started, Zi Chen learned a lot more.

This city called Huai Du was very famous, but it had a bad reputation. Over the years, it had harmed many women in the city.

The Huai Clan's ancestors were from the Spirit Race, but in the past three generations, they had a bit of Demon Race blood. As such, they had become the City Lord of this place. The current City Lord, Huai Shanyuan, was the second generation.

In this world, the true demons were the upper echelons of the nobility. They had both power and influence. Huai Dou and the others were divided into different classes of demons due to their different bloodlines. The lowest status were the Spirit Race, who did not have any demon bloodline.

In front of a true Demon, Huai Du did not even dare to breathe loudly, so he could only bully the lowest level Spirit Race for fun.

After the woman finished speaking, Zi Chen nodded his head. Only then did he take a serious look at Lian Qing. She had already stopped crying, because compared to just being looked at before, her future situation would be even worse.

Once they entered the City Lord's Mansion, it was hard to say if they could come out alive.

She really was a beauty. No wonder the City Lord's son had taken a liking to her.

This made Zi Chen think of the scene when he went to the He Clan. He had also used the excuse of looking for a foreign race, but he had not been as overbearing as the City Lord's son.

"If that's the case, then I can't leave. If the City Lord's son comes later, I'll help persuade him."

Zi Chen decided to stay. In any case, he was a newcomer and had nowhere to go.

The man said, "Young man, you should think carefully. Huai Du is a two-star Demon Spirit, and he has a very bad temper."

A Demon Spirit was also a Holy Spirit, only the name was different.

Zi Chen smiled. "I'm Zi Chen. I've always had a good temper. I think that if I persuade him sincerely, he'll listen."

"I'm Lian Lijue. Many thanks, young hero." The man immediately cupped his hands to Zi Chen, who was willing to stay.

As for the previous scene, both sides clearly did not intend to pursue it. After all, their daughter's life was the most important.

The woman put her palms together and thanked the Buddha for his kindness.

Seeing this, Zi Chen asked, "Madam, do you also believe in Buddhism?"

The woman nodded. "For the past few years, I've been abstaining from meat and praying to Buddha, hoping that the Buddha will protect the Lian Clan."

Zi Chen laughed. "What a coincidence. I also believe in Buddhism. It seems this is fate."

"Young hero, please follow me. I'll arrange a place for you to stay," said the old steward.

"There's no need. They're already here. Let's go take a look."

As they walked out of the room, Zi Chen asked, "What's the Huai Clan's reputation like in Demon Ward?"

"They cover the sky with one hand. What else can they do?" Lian Lijue laughed bitterly.

Here, the City Lord was the Heavens. One could only imagine how he handled things.

The woman led Lian Qing away, while Zi Chen and the others walked toward the door to receive the City Lord's son.

"Search the area. I saw the Spirit Race come in with my own eyes. Don't let him get away. Don't leave a single corner unturned."

Before they even got close, Zi Chen heard the City Lord's voice.

Then came the sound of buildings collapsing, followed by panicked cries of alarm.

Coming here and smashing things, this was too arrogant and despotic.

"Search! Don't leave a single corner unturned!"

After turning a corner, Zi Chen saw a young man laughing complacently. The people he brought were wantonly destroying things.

Lian Lijue wanted to stop him, but Zi Chen stopped him. "Let him smash things down."

The people around them were still smashing things, but the City Lord's son saw the three of them. He walked forward and said, "Lian Lijue, I gave you face, didn't I?

You colluded with the Spirit Race. How big of a crime is that?

But this Young Master is benevolent and willing to give you a chance to change your ways.

Let your daughter be a guest at my residence. What, do you feel wronged?

Isn't my place better than your dog kennel?

And you can curry favor with the City Lord's Mansion because of this. Such a great opportunity is right in front of you. How can you refuse it when it's given to you? "

"What, do you think this Young Master will just let it go after humiliating me?

You're too naive! "

"Your shameless behavior has completely hurt this Young Master's good intentions. So, this Young Master has decided to find the remnants of the Spirit Race in the Spiritual Realm."

The surrounding buildings were constantly collapsing. The purpose of these people was obviously not to find people, but to destroy.

Looking at the places where they passed, not even a blade of grass was left. It was obvious that they wanted to completely destroy the foundation of the Lian Family.

Lian Lijue was anxious and his eyes were red. This was his family's property. Every brick and every tile was painstakingly built with resources.

The butler stood aside and watched quietly. He was also very sad.
