Hu Tian's terror immediately sobered the bearded man up. He forced a faint smile on his face and asked cautiously, "Sir, what can I do for you?"
Ye Chen didn't intend to argue with a low-level person, but chuckled and asked his question again.
Hearing that Ye Chen just wanted to know what happened, the bearded man breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said respectfully, "Young Master, this is your first time in Qingyue City, so you don't know much. Three years ago, the City Lord of Qingyue City, Lord Lin Qingyue, founded an arena called Fengyun Arena. A monthly arena battle is held. The winner can not only join the City Lord's Mansion's tribute group, but also obtain valuable training resources. It has attracted powerful people from thousands of miles around..."
After hearing what the man said, Ye Chen's eyes lit up and he chuckled, "I didn't expect that the Lord of Qingyue City would have such means and courage!
Using arena battles and a large amount of resources to attract strong people to join? It is a good way to quickly increase the power in your hands! "
However, there are two problems with this approach. It requires a huge amount of resources, and it is also difficult to attract truly powerful people...
"Who said it wasn't?" The bearded man saw that Ye Chen didn't have that arrogant look of a kid from a rich family, so he immediately became talkative.
"The Fengyun Tournament takes place once a month, and at least twelve experts join in a year. In three years, that's thirty-six experts. And those who can win are at least high-level Douhuang experts. Qingyue City's power has expanded tremendously in the past three years!"
Ye Chen nodded, but didn't care much about it. He was just going to go and see the excitement.
However, the bearded man's next unintentional words made him slightly stunned...
"Although the Wind and Cloud Tournament was initially intended to select talents for the City Lord's Mansion, it has now been completely controlled by the heirs of the City Lord's Mansion for over a year..."
Ye Chen, who had already taken a step forward, paused slightly, then turned around curiously and asked again: "Oh? What do you mean?"
Perhaps because he was talking excitedly, the bearded man seemed unusually excited, as if he was a gossip lover who had heard some special secret.
"Young Master, you don't know that the City Lord of Qingyue City is a true heroine. She had seven husbands in the first half of her life, and each of them had a considerable status and background..."
Ye Chen glared...
Seven husbands? This woman thinks she's a queen, doesn't she? She even has her own harem?
This is really... well, it's not an exaggeration to say that she is a heroine!
"Of course, the most important thing isn't these seven husbands, but the fact that each husband has a child with the City Lord. Therefore, the City Lord of Qingyue has a total of seven children: four sons and three daughters. Among these four sons and three daughters, four adult children are most likely to inherit the position of City Lord of Qingyue City. These four have been fighting endlessly for years!"
Ye Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling that Qingyue City seemed to be becoming more and more interesting...
"Let's go and take a look at the Fengyun Arena." After saying that, Ye Chen turned to look at the bearded man and said directly: "Go on and tell me about the city lord's heirs. Don't worry, you won't suffer any loss."
As he spoke, he threw out a medicine bottle.
"A third-grade Qi-recovering pill that can quickly restore Dou Qi..."
The bearded man took the medicine bottle and his eyes suddenly lit up. His submission, which was originally caused by fear, suddenly became much more obedient.
"Thank you for your reward, sir! I will tell you everything I know in detail!" The bearded man patted his chest and promised.
Ye Chen didn't care about the other party's change of attitude, but just signaled him to continue speaking.
"Hey, sir, please listen..."
"Speaking of the four heirs of Qingyue City, they are not simple!"
After keeping Ye Chen in suspense for a while, the bearded man didn't dare to continue when he saw that Ye Chen didn't respond at all. He immediately said directly, "The eldest son of the Lord of Qingyue City is named Lin Yuheng. He is quite arrogant, but he is quite powerful. He is less than 30 years old this year, but he has already reached the level of a three-star Dou Huang. He is also the most powerful among the four heirs. It is said that his father is from the Black Fire Sect, and he seems to have the support of the Black Fire Sect behind him..."
Black Fire Sect?
This name made Ye Chen's heart move slightly.
According to the memory of his previous life, in the original plot, when Xiao Yan was invited by Xin Lan to come to the Ye family for the first time, it seemed that the Ye family was forced to come to the door at that time, and the identity of the visitor seemed to be the Black Fire Sect!
Ye Chen glanced at Hu Tian next to him. The latter had been in the Ye family for decades and should have some understanding of the Black Fire Sect.
Seeing Ye Chen's gaze, Hu Tian introduced in a low voice: "The Black Fire Sect is also a strong force in the Dan Domain. Its strength is even stronger than that of the Qiu Family and the Bai Family. It is rumored that the leader of the Black Fire Sect is a powerful warrior at the peak of the Dou Zong level, and his fire-attributed Dou Qi is very terrifying..."
Ye Chen nodded slightly.
I didn't expect that this sect, which only played a minor role in the original novel, would have such strong strength...
Even the Ye family could only compare with a peak Dou Zong-level expert when the ancestor Ye Xun was still alive.
However, as a family of alchemists, and with the support of Danta, the Ye family's influence is unmatched by ordinary forces.
Not to mention the Black Fire Sect, which only has a peak Dou Zong master, even the Glacier Valley has to give the Ye family some face...
It's a pity that since the death of the ancestor of the Ye family, the influence of the Ye family has declined significantly, otherwise it would not have been possible in the original work to fall to the point where the Black Fire Sect came to attack!
"Black Fire Sect?" Ye Chen muttered the name silently, then his face darkened and he said nothing more.
Although he didn't know what was wrong with the Black Fire Sect, the bearded man could see that the young man in front of him seemed to have some grievance against him.
However, seeing Ye Chen's gloomy expression, he didn't dare to say anything, nor did he dare to ask. In the end, he could only continue to introduce the matter of the heir of Qingyue City...
"Ahem, well, the second young master of Qingyue City is named Lin Yucheng. He's also a three-star Dou Huang, and his background is quite impressive. It's said that his father is from the Lei family of Tianyuan City. While the Lei family isn't a big family in the Dan Region, their overall strength is comparable to that of Qingyue City. They're one of the three major families in Tianyuan City. With their support, Young Master Lin Yucheng has a good chance of ultimately winning the battle."
This surprised Ye Chen again...
"What on earth is Lin Qingyue doing? Why does she always find husbands with such extraordinary backgrounds? Isn't she afraid that the forces behind these people will take over her?"
Moreover, this situation, should she have done it on purpose? But this is just asking for trouble!
