Bang! However, as soon as his sword qi was unleashed, it was enveloped by endless fist might. Bang bang bang, all the space around him was imprisoned, various explosive sounds echoed from within his body, the sword qi he unleashed was rapidly shattered, and his figure was left in disarray, unable to break free.
"This is the power of a mid-stage Earth Level expert?"
So strong!
Qin Chen was taken aback. The mid-stage Earth Level was far stronger than the early stage, not just by a little. That assassin could be considered a half-step Earth Level expert, capable of killing across levels, but in front of this old man, he had no ability to resist at all.
Swish swish swish!
At the same time, rays of light flashed behind the old man, all rushing towards the woman beside Qin Chen.
"Miss, are you alright?"
"Your subordinate arrived late for assistance, please forgive me, Miss."
"Hurry, someone, quickly treat the Miss's injuries."
Angry shouts rang out as these rays of light descended, each filled with fear, rushing forward to inquire with concern.
Boom!
At this moment, that assassin, after a struggle, was finally suppressed by the old man, held in his hand like a chick, utterly powerless to resist.
The old man flashed and landed, leaving the venue in complete silence.
The blazing holy aura was retracted, the old man's gaze was murky, yet it shot forth with brilliance. He wore a plain garment, but with every gesture, an immense momentum erupted, possessing the power to crush everything, looking down upon all.
"It’s the steward Cai Gaofeng of the City Lord’s Mansion."
"The chief steward of the City Lord’s Mansion."
"It is rumored that the chief steward Cai Gaofeng of the City Lord's Mansion manages many affairs in Cang Xuan City, and his cultivation has reached the peak of the mid-stage Earth Level, ready to break through to the late-stage Earth Level at any moment. No wonder he is so formidable, capturing that assassin in an instant."
"That assassin, knowing not where he came from, actually dared to attempt an assassination in Cang Xuan City. Truly seeking his own death."
The crowd whispered among themselves, filled with shock.
"Miss, this old slave arrived late, deserving of death, causing you to be alarmed!"
Cai Gaofeng landed, directly kneeling in greeting before the woman, respectfully like a servant.
This left everyone even more astonished.
In the City Lord’s Mansion, there were many women, and many could be referred to as "Miss," but the only one whom the chief steward Cai Gaofeng would kneel to call Miss was the daughter of the City Lord of Cang Xuan City, the pearl of Cang Xuan City—Ao Qingling.
"Uncle Cai, please rise quickly, I'm fine. I must thank this friend for his help earlier... Huh, where is this friend?"
Ao Qingling turned her head, suddenly surprised, realizing that Qin Chen had already vanished without a trace.
Seeing Cai Gaofeng arrive, Qin Chen knew that the assassin was doomed, so he took Shang Gu Kong and Qin Tingting and left at once. After all, he was only using the identity of the Gu Zhong Sect, and once involved with the City Lord’s Mansion of Cang Xuan City, they would inevitably investigate his identity.
Moreover, Qin Chen did not want any form of repayment; if he didn't leave now, when would he?
"When did that man, who saved the City Lord's daughter, leave?
I didn't even notice."
"Yeah, I didn't see him either. Saving the City Lord's daughter, what luck; it wouldn't be an overreach for the City Lord to express thanks, yet he left silently. Impressive."
"That man, who saved the young lady, is also a formidable character, blocking the assassin at a critical moment and preventing the assassin from escaping; otherwise, once the other party fled Cang Xuan City, it would be very likely they would hide."
"I noticed he seemed quite young; could he also be a prodigy from some top force outside Cang Xuan City?
At least, I have never heard of such a person in Cang Xuan City."
At this time, the crowd settled down, discussing among themselves, and many experts rushed from afar upon hearing the commotion to see the excitement.
