Chapter 644 -227: “You’re not thinking of killing me, are you?
However—
Chen Qiu quickly shifted his gaze from the Zhang Family’s Ancestor, merely glancing back out of idle curiosity.
About two hours passed.
Chen Qiu and his entourage finally came to a majestic halt above Handsome City. They then descended into the city, led by Chen Qiu himself, bypassing the city gates. The Guard Team of Handsome City was just about to come forward to inquire, but seeing the Zhang Family’s Ancestor trailing behind the group with his head bowed low, they quickly realized who he was and skulked away.
…
“Boss.”
In the alley, a man clad in armor whispered to his companion as he watched the procession move away: “Shouldn’t we symbolically stop them? After all, this group is quite disrespectful of the rules. If the City Lord blames us later, it might be difficult to deal with.”
“Even if we symbolically stop them and they decide to force their way through, we don’t have to actually stop them. That way, the City Lord can’t really blame us. After all, we would have tried to stop them but just failed to do so,” replied the other.
“Stop what nonsense!”
The captain of the Guard Team smacked his subordinate on the head, irritated: “Your pumpkin head needs some fixing. Did you see who that was? The Ancestor of the Zhang Family from Tai City, a notable figure around here, with a Cultivation at the early stages of Void Refining.”
“But now he’s scurrying behind the group, not even daring to lift his head.”
“Guess who those people leading the group might be?”
“Are they someone we can afford to provoke, or even someone Handsome City can afford to provoke? Moreover, the man in the lead looks quite young—a likely chance he’s some young master from a major family. People of this stature, you think they would need to force their way through? I suspect they are more likely to turn us into ash with a slap than anything else!”
Chen Qiu’s name, although it had resounded throughout the Vast Continent via the Heavenly Dao Decree,
And Chen Qiu’s recent deeds had also spread quickly throughout Xuantian State,
The distribution of Memory Stones containing his image didn’t spread as swiftly. So, there was a situation where nearly everyone had heard of Chen Qiu but had no idea what he looked like.
…
“Senior.”
Within the group, Chen Qiu, followed by Fat Long and several others acting as attendants on the left rear side, and the Heavenly Axe Sect Master accompanying on the right, walked leisurely at the forefront under an umbrella in the sky, as the Sect Master explained in a low voice.

“This is Handsome City. I’ve looked into it when I came here before. The City Lord has a Cultivation at the early Void Refining Stage and is a Loose Cultivator.”
“This territory belongs to the Seeking Dao Sect, a small sect with less than five hundred years of inheritance. Their Sect Master was formerly an Inner Sect Disciple who left the Heavenly Axe Sect, so there’s some connection between the two sects. I believe my words should carry weight with him.”
“Even after you leave Handsome City, Senior, there’s no need to worry. I’ll remind him to take good care of the Liu Family,” the Sect Master assured.
By now,
He no longer doubted the authenticity of the Token from the Chao Tian Sect in the hands of the Liu Family. If a Senior like him personally visited and seemed to have no intent to kill, then the Token was most likely genuine. If it were fake, the Senior’s reaction would have certainly been different.
“Mm.”
Chen Qiu nodded slightly, remaining silent. He just wandered forward as he pleased, not asking where the Liu Family was located nor heading in their direction. The city intrigued him.
Most men in this city had a delicate and handsome appearance.
Almost all the native men born here grew up to look this way, which didn’t change much with age. Typically, men grow more rugged with time.
But the middle-aged men here looked cherubic and amicable.
If one had to choose a companion inside a Heavenly Dao Secret Realm,
The men of Handsome City would be preferred over those with fierce exteriors, even though their combat abilities were not guaranteed. They didn’t seem like the type to stab someone in the back, providing a sense of security.
“…”
His eyes narrowed slightly as he surveyed the passing men. He had a basic understanding from the explanation given by the Heavenly Axe Sect Master before reaching Handsome City, but it was only upon arriving that he could truly appreciate its uniqueness.
Could there be something special about the feng shui of Handsome City?
That causes every male infant born here to be unusually handsome?
But why only male infants? The female infants seemed normal, with no special attributes.
He shook his head, dismissing the thought, and after wandering around to his satisfaction, he signaled the Heavenly Axe Sect Master to lead the way to the “Liu Family,” which was his prime reason for coming here.
…
A hundred breaths later,
Chen Qiu stood with a calm demeanor in front of a household. The gate bore a plaque with the words “Liu Family,” clearly marking his destination for this trip. At that moment,
The gate was wide open.
Family Head Liu, with all the Liu Family Disciples, knelt before him on the ground to greet him, respectfully shouting: “We pay our respects to the esteemed Senior.”
Especially Family Head Liu—a burly man with a face full of white whiskers and red hair—now knelt on the ground with a face full of reverence and panic, his voice trembling slightly.
He never imagined that such a trivial matter in their locale would attract Chen Qiu.
Chen Qiu, the Sect Master of the Chao Tian Sect and the recent powerful figure in Xuantian State, who, just at the beginning of his Void Refining Stage, had slain dozens of cultivators at the same stage. Their Liu Family, merely an insignificant small clan in the broader Xuantian State, especially one that hadn’t seen the emergence of a Void Refining cultivator for many generations, had never dared to dream of having any dealings with such a prominent figure.
