Chapter 380 Chen Qianqian: I Will Use Miaomiao Mountain’s Way to Resolve This
“Eldest sister, you must not act rashly.”
Yang Bamei saw her eldest sister’s stance and knew she was already angered.
Chen Qianqian smiled. “Eighth sister, when have you ever seen me act rashly?”
Yang Bamei froze. Scenes of their childhood together surfaced in her mind.
Indeed, eldest sister was never one to be reckless. Every step she took was carefully calculated; she would never act without a plan.
“Then, how does eldest sister intend to handle this?”
Chen Qianqian spoke unhurriedly. “Naturally, by using the ways of Miaomiao Mountain to resolve such a trivial matter.”
As her words fell, an overwhelming aura erupted from her, instantly enveloping the entire Hundred Tribes City.
At the same time, a colossal chessboard appeared above the city, startling every living being within.
All raised their heads, whispering in shock.
“Who dares such madness, challenging our entire city?”
“Surely some fool who thinks a bit of power makes him invincible. But he does not know our Hundred Tribes City has mighty patrons.”
…
As the cultivators dismissed the chessboard as nothing of concern, a slender jade-like hand appeared, placing a piece upon it.
Clack!
The sound echoed as a massive hand manifested above the board, crashing down toward the city lord’s mansion.
Before anyone could react, a scream erupted from within.
“Ahhh!!!”
The anguished cry reverberated across the city, shaking all cultivators.
They turned toward the mansion to see a tiger demon seized in midair by the giant hand.
Moments later, it was slammed into the ground.
Boom!!!
The deafening crash birthed a mushroom cloud rising over the city lord’s mansion.
Then, a lofty voice rang out: “Leaders of every faction in the Hundred Tribes City, assemble at the city lord’s mansion at once. If any dare not come, do not blame me for dragging you here myself. Last night, I memorized every one of your auras.”
Hiss—
The cultivators gasped at such domineering words.
“Who is this person? Too overbearing!”
“Our Hundred Tribes City has done nothing to provoke heaven’s wrath…”
…
Before they could finish, the voice thundered again.
“Of course, you may also summon the powers behind you. I do not care.”
Arrogant—utterly arrogant. The girl did not place the city’s cultivators in her eyes at all.
Even if she came from a holy land, how dare she trample their dignity so.
Though they fumed inwardly, none dared act.
Even the city lord, a Spirit Nurturing realm expert, had been grabbed and battered like a chicken.
What could small fry like them do but wait for death?
Inside the Eight Directions Inn.
Yang Bamei stared at her eldest sister in shock. “Eldest sister, you are too strong!”
Chen Qianqian beamed. “This is nothing. My first and second senior brothers are truly strong. Come, let us end this matter today.”
Yang Bamei did not lose herself in excitement. Cautiously, she said, “But eldest sister, the city lord’s mansion has powerful backers. With only us, I fear we are too few.”
Bai Qian, silent until now, spoke. “Even if he summons his backers, it is useless. In the lands of the Hundred Thousand Demon Mountains, none can compare to my backer.”
Yang Bamei: “…”
How could eldest sister’s junior be even more arrogant? And she was only a twelve-year-old girl!
Yang Bamei asked again.
“No need for trouble,” Chen Qianqian said. “When we pass the Thousand-Mile Trading Company, we will bring them along.”
“Alright.”
Still dazed, Yang Bamei suddenly felt her body lighten as she was lifted into the air.
Within the Thousand-Mile Trading Company, You Erlang and Zhao Xiaojiu were anxiously awaiting Yang Bamei’s return.
The upheaval earlier in the city left them uneasy.
Just as Zhao Xiaojiu grew restless and prepared to step out, a cloud drifted overhead.
Before either could react, the world blurred around them, and the next instant they found themselves standing upon that cloud.
“You Erlang, Xiaojiu, what is this? Do you not welcome me?”
A stranger’s voice snapped the two men out of their daze. Fixing their eyes ahead, they saw a face faintly familiar.
“Eldest sister!”
The two cried out in unison.
Chen Qianqian smiled. “Since you two still remember me, I’ll let bygones pass. For now, let us go to the city lord’s mansion.”
Even the dullest would instinctively blurt out,
“Eldest sister, that commotion earlier—was it your doing?”
Chen Qianqian nodded. “Yes. I already know of the Thousand-Mile Trading Company’s plight. With me here, no one will touch you.”
Before they could speak further, the cloud had already arrived above the city lord’s mansion.
Inside, defenses were tight. Soldiers gripped their weapons, eyes locked on the drifting cloud.
From it descended two men and three women.
“S-stop right there!”
One soldier, braver than the rest, mustered his courage to shout.
Chen Qianqian ignored him entirely. “City lord, why don’t you come out to greet me? Or do you want to be humiliated again?”
Hmph!
A cold snort echoed. A tiger demon, brimming with killing intent, strode out with blade in hand.
But when his gaze fell upon Chen Qianqian and her companions, his aura weakened involuntarily.
Gritting his teeth, he said, “Exalted one, this city lord has not offended you. Why did you strike me unprovoked?”
Chen Qianqian smiled. “True, you did not offend us—otherwise, your life would already be gone. But since your city lord’s mansion took advantage of my younger siblings, only for them to suffer grievance, I delivered some punishment. Fair enough, don’t you think?”
She still remembered her master’s teaching: one must act with reason first.
But if the other refused reason, then she would strike hard.
The tiger city lord faltered, then cautiously asked, “May I ask, from which faction are the exalted one’s kin?”
“The Thousand-Mile Trading Company.”
Chen Qianqian’s smile widened.
“What?”
At the sensitive name, a chill flickered in the tiger city lord’s eyes.
Such a fleeting change did not escape Chen Qianqian. Her smile vanished, her tone sharp. “Little tiger, don’t think of shirking responsibility. Even if a king-ranked expert of your clan came, they could not save you.”
“Such arrogance.”
The tiger city lord had sat in the Hundred Beasts City for decades and never endured such humiliation. Murderous intent surged within him.
But when he saw the chess piece in her hand, the words at his lips changed instantly.
“What you say is true—I was at fault. But this matter is not for a Spirit Nurturing cultivator like me to decide.”
Chen Qianqian replied evenly, “Then bring someone who can decide. For now, we sisters will be staying in your mansion. Second brother, fetch the so-called treasure from the Thousand-Mile Trading Company. Let this little kitten have a look.”
You Erlang blinked, then said, “Oh, alright. I’ll go now. But if I go alone, there may be danger.”
Chen Qianqian was unconcerned. “The entire Hundred Beasts City is within my Heaven and Earth Chessboard. Should anyone dare move against you, I’ll erase them with a single piece.”
“Eldest sister, you are amazing.”
Now with backing, You Erlang no longer spared the tiger city lord a glance. He turned and departed.
In less than a moment, he returned to the mansion.
But now the mansion teemed with people.
Leaders of every faction in the Hundred Beasts City had gathered.
Gone was their usual swagger. Now, they stood like timid wives, simmering with anger yet afraid to speak.
Chen Qianqian and Bai Qian sat leisurely at the head, sipping tea, while the tiger city lord nervously poured for them.
You Erlang froze for half a cup of tea’s time at the sight. Then, coming to his senses, he shouted, “Eldest sister, I’ve brought the item!”
At once, every gaze in the courtyard turned to him.
