Chapter 2011: A Minor Problem

And the moment he stepped into a specific range, he would feel an extremely powerful pressure coming from the two lions.

So he hadn't been in a rush to enter just now; he had wanted to see exactly how Chen Yu would handle this matter.

But he never imagined that it would take Chen Yu only a few seconds to break through the defense of these two lions, even though they were reinforced with an Array; how on earth did Chen Yu manage that?

"What else? A small Array isn't enough to stump me." Chen Yu smiled slightly and said, "Besides, this Array can't even be considered a particularly strong one."

"In Huaxia, stone lions are used to guard houses and ward off evil spirits. Those who know their stuff will also reinforce them with an Array to prevent unauthorized people from breaking in."

"But this is just a minor trick; it doesn't amount to much in my eyes."

"Impressive." Jieni slowly let out a breath; this was the gap, and he had to accept it even if he wasn't convinced.

"I'm curious about what kind of person your City Lord is." Chen Yu looked at Jieni with a sidelong glance.

"Why?" Jieni was taken aback; why would Chen Yu ask such a question?

"I feel he is unique, and judging by the layout and furnishings here, he should be quite familiar with Huaxia culture." Chen Yu said with a smile.

"I'm not at liberty to disclose information about the City Lord; you'll know naturally when you see him in a moment," Jieni said.

"Quite mysterious," Chen Yu said. "I'm actually getting impatient to meet him."

Walking into the City Lord Mansion, the layout and furnishings inside surprised Chen Yu even more.

This place was clearly an ancient prince's mansion, with towers, pavilions, rockeries, and flowing water—everything one could expect.

Moreover, the area was immense; in front of an artificial lake in the distance, a man wearing a queue and a python robe was sitting there fishing.

And his attire was clearly that of a nobleman from the late Qing period.

Standing beside him was a person with an extremely heavy Yin aura; if nothing went wrong, this person with the heavy Yin aura had been castrated—in other words, a eunuch from the ancient imperial palace.

Chen Yu felt a bit disoriented; damn it, had he arrived in the palace?

"Lord City Lord, a powerhouse succeeded in the challenge today, so I have brought him here." Jieni bowed respectfully.

The man wearing the python robe then slowly stood up and turned around.

His complexion was deathly pale, and his gaze was extremely cold; just this cold glance was enough to make one's heart crawl.

"To think it's a Huaxia person." The man was the City Lord; he sneered, "It's been many years since I've seen a Huaxia person."

"You are a Huaxia person yourself; I don't understand why you hold such great hostility toward me?" Chen Yu smiled.

"My ancestral roots are with the Imperial Guard of the Qing Palace, a descendant of the Upper Eight Banners; how could I possibly value someone of your lowly origins?" The City Lord huffed.

"The Great Qing has been gone for a long time." Chen Yu grinned, "How can you still live in the glory of the past and be unable to extricate yourself?"

"Shut up." The City Lord was furious; he let out a roar and turned around abruptly.

A row of subordinates behind him took a step forward in unison, and then the old eunuch behind him raised his eyes, staring at Chen Yu like a hawk's beak.

These guys exuded a powerful aura, and Ye Xingchen believed that if he made the slightest move, these people would step forward and tear him to pieces.

"Even if the Great Qing is gone, it is not something for someone like you to comment on. If you dare to spout one more word of nonsense, believe it or not, I will make sure you die without a burial ground." The City Lord scolded angrily.

"Boring." Chen Yu shook his head slowly, "Originally, I thought the City Lord here was an ambitious person, but meeting him is a huge disappointment."

"I... disappointed you?" The City Lord turned his head, staring at Chen Yu, attempting to exert pressure on him.

"You can't look at me with that kind of gaze." Chen Yu waved his hand and said, "Your strength is not enough to put enough pressure on me to make me fear you."

"Do you know that I am a Level 5 powerhouse?" The City Lord's eyes radiated a sharp light, "And Eunuch Wei is also a Level 4 expert. You are very strong, but keeping you here would be nothing more than a trivial task for me."

"Then, let's try it." Chen Yu smiled slightly and tilted his head, "If you aren't convinced, feel free to come at me all at once."

"Arrogant, seeking death." The City Lord's expression changed, "Eunuch Wei, kill him."

"My Lord, just leave it to me; this old servant hasn't made a move in a long time." The skinny old eunuch let out a strange laugh, then he stood up abruptly and, with a flash, was already in front of Chen Yu.

"I am a eunuch of the Imperial City; boy, state your name, otherwise I won't even know how to set up a tombstone for you when you die." The old eunuch said with a sinister laugh.

"Which Imperial City? The one in Huaxia? Haha, even the emperor was driven out of there; you're still talking about the Imperial City? Have you ever been to the Imperial City?" Chen Yu laughed mockingly.

"Shut up." A trace of sinister malice appeared on Eunuch Wei's face. For an old eunuch like him who was loyal to the former Qing, Chen Yu's words undoubtedly stepped on his tail, making him furious.

"Boy, you want to die, so I will fulfill your wish today. Let's see how much longer you can be arrogant; take this." Eunuch Wei sneered, flicking the Whisk in his right hand forward, and an aura surged over like a tidal wave.

This guy's style was not any Huaxia martial art or cultivation method, but rather the Battle Qi type of Western powerhouses.

And having cultivated to his Level 4, it was definitely not something an ordinary person could withstand.

His strike with the Whisk came, and even the space slightly distorted.

This move was a Space Restriction, capable of trapping a target within a space, binding them, and then killing them.

If it were an ordinary person, they would have almost no way to escape this move; after all, space-type experts have always been the most troublesome.

But Chen Yu was different; he felt a tightness on his body, indeed being tightly bound by a space.

The old eunuch sneered, "I thought you were how strong; turns out you're just like this."

"Chen Yu, this is a Space Binding." Xueli was shocked.

"I know, a very obvious space rift." Chen Yu nodded.

"Then what should we do?" Xueli was a bit anxious; Chen Yu was always so unhurried.

But this kind of Space Binding was also a difficult problem for her; although the opponent's strength was average, once the binding was successful, it was extremely difficult to release the person inside.

"Just deal with it." As Chen Yu's voice fell, his figure suddenly flashed and disappeared from the spot.

"Impossible." The smile on Eunuch Wei's face froze instantly, and he hissed, "He was clearly trapped by my Space Imprisonment; how could he possibly disappear?"

The next second, Chen Yu appeared on the other side, and he had completely broken free from the binding; he seemed completely unaffected by the power of space.
