Chapter 2191: Chaos and Disorder

Walking down the street, hearing the occasional shouts and fighting sounds from all around, Zhang Heping and the other disciples couldn't help but say.

These days, Wuji Xiancheng is truly chaotic and disorderly.

Normal, any power transition will have such a process.

In response, Ye Zhangqing calmly laughed.

At the same time, several groups of people were trailing behind them, obviously targeting them.

As for these tails, Ye Zhangqing and the others paid no attention; they posed no threat, and if Ye Zhangqing hadn't said the timing wasn't right, Zhang Heping and the others would have already struck and slaughtered them.

Ye Xiaoyou.

Just then, an elder of the Wang family came from the opposite direction, leading people as if patrolling the street.

This area happened to belong to the Wang family.

Seeing this, Ye Zhangqing stepped forward and laughed.

Wang Elder.

After exchanging greetings, this elder was specifically dispatched by the Wang family to take charge of Wuji Xiancheng.

However, regarding the current situation in Wuji Xiancheng, he also found it quite troublesome.

The simplest example: if someone causes trouble on Wang family territory, they can run across a street in the next second and hide in another faction's territory.

And when the Wang family wants to apprehend someone at this time, it becomes difficult; first they must obtain the other party's consent.

Moreover, even after gaining consent, entering to search for the person is not easy; they cannot conduct a reckless search.

Thus, many people in the city have gradually grown bolder.

Each day, incidents of treasure looting and killing are not few.

Even just yesterday, an auction house in the city was robbed, and all its staff were slaughtered without exception.

The perpetrators have not yet been caught.

It's not because we don't know who did it; we clearly know who did it and where they're hiding, but we can't go in because it involves other factions.

Wuji Xiancheng has now become a city within a city, utterly chaotic.

The Wang elder sighed; in response, Ye Zhangqing smiled and casually agreed.

After chatting a bit, the Wang elder suddenly seemed to think of something, giving Ye Zhangqing a strange look.

Hey Ye Xiaoyou, are you bringing people to garrison Wuji Xiancheng? How did the Dao One Immortal Sect send you here?

Hearing this, Ye Zhangqing laughed.

I am also a member of the Dao One Immortal Sect; that's quite normal, right?

Indeed.

He gave an embarrassed laugh, but then the Wang elder gave a meaningful reminder.

Since Ye Xiaoyou has come, I'll kindly remind you: the area of your Dao One Immortal Sect is not very peaceful these days.

The Wang elder didn't specify details, but one could still guess some from his words.

Ye Zhangqing didn't press further, nodded in thanks, and then led his people away.

Seeing Ye Zhangqing's group off, the Wang elder muttered softly.

That is currently the most chaotic place in Wuji Xiancheng, truly a scene of demons dancing wildly.

Other factions have long since stationed people in Wuji Xiancheng; the Dao One Immortal Sect is the slowest to do so.

Only now has Ye Zhangqing brought people here.

In other words, for a period of time before, the area belonging to the Dao One Immortal Sect had essentially no oversight.

Moreover, this is also one of the most central districts in Wuji Xiancheng, of the highest value; one can imagine how it turned out.

All the way, bringing people deep into the inner city, they finally arrived at their own territory.

But before they could enter, just as they reached the street corner, Ye Zhangqing's group was stopped by four burly men.

Fellow Daoist, what is this?

Looking at the four, Ye Zhangqing asked lightly; upon hearing, the leader's face turned cold and he said.

Pay the street fee.

Street fee?

This was the first time Ye Zhangqing had heard the term; he doubted it, and upon hearing, the leader gave a noncommittal low reply.

Yes, this place belongs to my Dao One Immortal Sect; to enter, one naturally must pay money—you all shall pay a thousand immortal crystals.

People of the Dao One Immortal Sect?

Hearing the burly man claim to be a person of the Dao One Immortal Sect, Ye Zhangqing and the others were all taken aback.

If you are people of the Dao One Immortal Sect, then who are we?

It seems true as the Wang elder said; indeed, our own area has become utterly lawless.

Unexpectedly, people have started impersonating members of the Dao One Immortal Sect.

Judging by the cultivation of these four, they are clearly a bunch of lowly rogue cultivators, a rabble.

They lack experience, background, foundation, and strength.

They are probably trying to profit from the chaos.

Ye Zhangqing also couldn't be bothered to waste words with the four; he directly asked.

Who is behind you?

Kid, you don't understand human speech? I said we are disciples of the Dao One Immortal Sect.

How could disciples of the Dao One Immortal Sect be as old as you? Impersonating sect disciples, do you know the consequences?

Who are you?

Forget it, Zhang Heping, seize them, take them back for a slow interrogation.

Yes.

At Ye Zhangqing's command, Zhang Heping and the others rushed forward and easily captured these four.

With just one bundle of the Immortal-Binding Rope, they were pressed straight to the ground.

As for the identities of these four, investigating them is not difficult.

Because as soon as they entered the street, the vendors on both sides cast curious glances.

Those gazes, without exception, fell on these four—clearly many recognized them.

Ye Zhangqing casually found a shop, stepped up, and asked a girl inside.

Fairy maiden, do you know these four?

I know them, no—who are you? How dare..............

Fairy maiden, don't worry, I just want to know the identities of these four.

Seeing a flicker of fear in the girl's eyes, obviously she was wary of these four, or rather of the forces behind them, Ye Zhangqing smiled and reassured her.

Hearing this, the girl indeed calmed a little, then spoke truthfully.

They were previously members of the Hundred Beast Gang; after the city lord's mansion moved out, they began calling themselves disciples of the Dao One Immortal Sect, started collecting shop rents here, and set up various pretexts to levy immortal crystals and spirit stones........

She recounted their identities and recent deeds all at once.

Her words carried considerable resentment; clearly she was extremely displeased with what these four had done.

After hearing the girl's account, Ye Zhangqing nodded with a smile.

Thank you, fairy maiden, rest assured—the Hundred Beast Gang will not appear again.

Saying that, he led the crowd away, leaving only the girl with a cute, endearing look watching their retreating backs.

In her heart she secretly wondered, who exactly were these people, and how could they be so arrogant?

The Hundred Beast Gang—it's currently a major power in this region.

Otherwise, how could these shops of theirs swallow their anger and stay silent? It's simply because they can't beat them.

They had also thought of resisting before, but the Hundred Beast Gang wiped them out in a single night—no one left alive in the entire household, even their corpses were hung on the street archway, shocking everyone and frightening many.
