C6 Not Being a Scapegoat

Chapter VI: Not being a scapegoat

As an important town at the border, the Peace City was called a chaotic city within the inner reaches of the Qin Empire.

In a small city, all sorts of ideas and methods were involved, all for the sake of a future candidate or a fugitive.

If Barbarian Clan were to invade, then there would be no end to their existence, and how many commoners would usually live in this city?

To the disciples of the royal family, this was the best place to train. It was not an exaggeration to say that if they could stabilize their footing in this city, it would not be an easy matter for them to gather all of their forces.

Ever since Xu Yan had made up his mind to fight three times, he had already made up his mind. Since that Fourth Bro dared to go against him during his time of experience, he must fight it out and at least control a large portion of his Peace City. This way, he would have the qualification to fight his brother three times after returning to the Imperial City.

This was not an easy task, but Xu Yan had to do it. The identity of Qin Empire, Seventh Prince, had indeed brought him endless glory, but at the same time, it also brought him great danger.

Not to mention the fact that he was going to be the fourth brother of the emperor, how many of his brothers were easy to deal with? Putting aside the fact that they were all talented, a few of them were sinister and cunning. If they saw that his sudden rise would threaten their status, they would definitely appear in front of him.

After all, he was one of His Majesty's two most beloved sons. If he didn't have the title of emperor, or lost his qualifications, then that was fine. But having this mindset was sure to make many nervous.

As long as he thought about it, Xu Yan knew that it was destined to be a lot more difficult than his other brothers. However, he had a faint expectation that the final position of emperor was not his goal, but if he really stirred up such a struggle, then there would be a taste for it.

There were not many humans and cultivators on the Peace City street, and most of their eyes were solemn as if they had something on their minds.

This made Xu Yan and Lin Yun, who had just entered the city, quite curious. After staying in the barracks for so long, they were quite nervous. Everyone who went in and out were familiar faces, how could they not yearn for the outside world?

"Let's not talk about the Fang family for now. We can just go there before sunset anyway. Let's go, big brother will bring you to a good place." Lin Yun was the kind of guy who felt at ease when he was in trouble.

He knew that he had fallen into a pit and that there would be danger if he went to negotiate with them. However, as long as his life wasn't in danger, he wouldn't be afraid.

In his eyes, he was just Centurion of Wanfa Battalion, although it would be difficult for him to go and negotiate with the Fang family, if he were to kill someone, it would not be possible. If Centurion of the Qin Empire's regular army were to die inside the Peace City, the Fang family would definitely be annihilated.

Moreover, the things they needed to take back were just a few hundred Spirit Stone s and an account book.

In his eyes, the Fang family shouldn't offend the entire Wanfa Battalion because of these things.

What he did not think of was that this was a conspiracy, the Spirit Stone was easy to deal with, the account book contained the secrets of too many families, even if they died together, he would not hand it over, the reason he brought them here was to borrow the Fang family's hands to get rid of Xu Yan.

By the way, naturally, he would not be able to escape this calamity.

Along the way, Xu Yan kept thinking about the scheme, but in the end, he could only focus his gaze on the notebook. He had roughly guessed all of this, which was why he kept frowning and felt that this matter was not easy to handle.

"This matter is not as easy as you think. Perhaps we might really lose our lives." Xu Yan smiled bitterly and felt a bit helpless as he followed behind Lin Yun.

This kind of thing didn't seem to be wrong, but if one were to carefully consider it, it would be strange if there weren't any tricks involved.

"What?" Didn't the vice commander just want us to be together? You might have offended him in some way before, but it doesn't look like you're committing murder. " Lin Yun was confused.

He did not know Xu Yan's identity nor did he know about the grudge between Xu Yan and the vice commander. Before entering the city, he was still thinking that he might be unlucky, but it doesn't seem to be life-threatening.

"How can there be a completely clean family in this Peace City? If it's just to get back the Spirit Stone and to demand an explanation, it's not impossible for the Fang family to fear that my Wanfa Battalion would compromise to such an extent, but forcing them to hand over the account book is extremely malicious, and is obviously trying to cut off the Fang family's retreat. Xu Yan smiled and analyzed as he walked on the stone road.

As one of the families with the strongest Peace City.

If the Fang family had no one to support them, they would not be so free and unfettered.

However, the news that came from the army also made the Fang family very uneasy. Most of the Fang family's experts had returned to the clan to discuss this troublesome matter.

In the great hall, the heads of the Fang family all had solemn expressions. Standing in the middle of the hall was a woman.

The woman was dressed entirely in white, and her face was covered with a veil. Because the veil carried the fluctuations of the Spiritual Force, it made it difficult for people to clearly see her appearance, but even though she was such a simple warrior, she gave people a feeling that she was out of this world.

The old man in the main seat looked very satisfied, as if he was their pride.

"What else is there to say? If they really dare to come, just break their legs and throw them out. " One of them, a man in his thirties, was extremely indignant. In Ningzhou City, they had also been tyrants for a long time, and the family head was an expert with a foundation establishment and above, could it be that he was afraid of two insignificant soldiers?

If he did not show this Wanfa Battalion a little, would he really think that their Fang Family was made of mud? They had done their best to satisfy the army. Not long after the war ended, the invasion of the military field was brought to light. They hadn't even slapped their faces like this.

"Fang Kui, you can't act recklessly!" The white-haired old man on the seat of honor shouted.

After that, they shifted their gazes to the woman standing there. The main reason why the Fang family had obtained the support of the masterminds and had allowed the clan to develop to its current level of glory was due to the contributions of the woman before them.

Faang Qiaomu was a cultivator with terrifying talent. Although she was merely 18 years old, she possessed the Foundation Establishment Stage. Other than the Fang family's Ancestor, she was also the strongest cultivator.

What was even more difficult was that she still had the Seven Apertures Mystical Heart and was able to accurately judge the situation and make the best choice.

This time, Faang Qiaomu happened to be at home, so he naturally had to listen to her opinion on this matter.

"It is clear that they are trying to kill us by borrowing our weapons. If my guess is correct, then one of the two people who came must have an extraordinary identity. We cannot be the scapegoat." Faang Qiaomu frowned.
