After divorcing my celebrity wife, I became the world's richest person-Chapter 541 Trick into the Door

"Sect Leader Chen!"

Most of the people in black Taoist robes were high-ranking members of the Divine Eagle Sect, and they seldom appeared in such peripheral towns, let alone kneel to someone so casually.

All eyes were dull with shock, and the vendor from before looked as if his father had just died.

Uncle Tang’s breathing also became rapid, staring at Chen Yu with a strange gaze.

"Enough, go back to your business!"

Chen Yu waved his hand impatiently, and those black-robed figures hurriedly stood up, then they called over the town’s patrol team to spread the news.

"Sect Leader Chen!" Uncle Tang approached Chen Yu, "Are you a Daoist practitioner?"

After all, having mixed in the secular world for so long, he was somewhat intelligent and quickly guessed something.

Chen Yu didn’t want to stay here any longer and, with a cold glance at Uncle Tang and the nearby vendors, he left the small town quickly with Xiao Xue and Xiao Chun on his back.

The town at the foot of Tianhu Mountain had developed over this period into a city of no small scale.

All the external branches of the Xuanqing Sect had set up offices here.

As the city grew, the population surged quickly, attracting many unscrupulous people.

On the noisy streets, two people dressed as Daoist priests set up a stall, banging drums and gongs, creating quite a spectacle.

"Come take a look, come see, authentic Daoist magic! We can predict fortunes, determine good and bad luck, bring children and blessings, there’s nothing we can’t do!"

With their nonsensical shouting, they quickly gathered a large crowd of onlookers, and Jin Lingsu was among them.

"I say, this isn’t some sort of scam, is it?" Jin Lingsu wore a face full of suspicion.

Having traveled far and wide over the years, she had seen plenty of odd things, including those with supernatural abilities on a daily basis.

One of the tall and thin Daoist priests stood up and clasped a piece of yellow paper in his hand.

"Beautiful lady, we are genuine cultivators, how could we possibly deceive people? I will now perform for you a Five Elements Technique!"

The tall and thin Daoist priest shook the yellow paper in mid-air and began muttering under his breath.

Before long, flames suddenly burst from the piece of paper.

The gathered crowd’s eyes widened in amazement; they had never seen such a miraculous thing.

Jin Lingsu was startled too and quickly stepped aside, trying to find the trick behind it.

However, after observing for a while, she found nothing.

The Daoist priest beside him coughed twice and then stood up.

"To perform the Five Elements Technique, we must communicate with the heavens, which may reduce our lifespan! We kindly ask for some money as compensation for our efforts."

The onlooking crowd immediately became excited and began tossing money over to them.

Jin Lingsu was still somewhat skeptical, but she felt an urge to throw some money as well.

"You don’t actually believe this stuff, do you?"

This sudden voice startled Jin Lingsu, and turning to look, she realized it was Chen Yu.

"Oh, when did you come back?"

"Just arrived!" she replied instinctively, and Chen Yu stepped forward to grab the tall Thin Daoist by the wrist.

"Did you really think no one would notice you hiding sulphur in your sleeve?"

The tall and thin Daoist’s pupils dilated, and he stepped back hastily.

"What do you mean? We are true disciples of the Daoist path, how could we engage in such filthy acts?"

Chen Yu snorted coldly, grabbed the skinny Daoist’s sleeve, and yanked it fiercely, scattering a great amount of sulfur in an instant.

The crowd gathered at the scene suddenly exploded into an uproar; they had never dreamed that someone would dare to impersonate a Daoist and scam others right in front of the Xuanqing Sect’s gates.

The two scammers, infuriated and embarrassed, immediately pulled out weapons from their baggage.

"You little brat, we brothers have no past grudges with you, nor recent quarrels. Why do you block our way of making a living?"

Chen Yu was somewhat baffled; after all, this was his territory, and he had not yet held these two guys accountable for scamming here, yet they were now casting blame on him first. Discover more stories at novelbuddy

"Get lost before I get angry, or face the consequences!"

The two fake Daoists’ eyes widened; in their view, Chen Yu was deliberately making trouble for them.

"Dammit, if I don’t teach you a lesson today, you won’t realize how many eyes the Horse King has!"

The fatter one shouted loudly and raised his broadsword to chop down.

Chen Yu merely raised his finger lightly and gave a gentle flick.

A flash of blue and white light burst out with extreme violence, accompanied by lightning, sending the fat Daoist flying away.

The skinny Daoist’s eyes went wide with astonishment, and he froze on the spot.

"Help, help!" Jin Lingsu called out to the nearby patrolling team: "Someone here is showing disrespect to the Sect Leader of the Xuanqing Sect, quickly arrest them."

The onlookers at the scene were taken aback for a moment, and they began to scrutinize Chen Yu more closely.

"Oh my, it’s really the Sect Leader of the Xuanqing Sect!"

Someone shouted out, and the place immediately erupted into excitement, with a few civilians even kneeling on the ground.

Chen Yu did not wish to make such a spectacle, and, pulling Jin Lingsu with him, he quickly left without looking back until they reached halfway up the mountain.

"Hey, where did these two little girls come from?"

It was only then that Jin Lingsu noticed the two young girls who had been following behind Chen Yu.

"They were rescued from the Divine Eagle Sect!" Chen Yu pushed Xiao Chun and Xiao Xue towards Jin Lingsu: "I have some matters to attend to on the mountain, please look after them for a while."

After giving a few more instructions, Chen Yu hurriedly headed up the mountain.

In front of the Sanqing Hall, an old Daoist with an imposing demeanor paced back and forth with his hands clasped behind his back.

"Where is your Sect Leader? Why has he not returned? Is he perhaps afraid?"

The surrounding elders of the Xuanqing Sect stared at the old Daoist with looks of disdain.

This fellow was the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Bright Sect, Ouyang Shan! After the Sacred Mountain Conference had ended, he had been clamoring to have a bout with Chen Yu.

Even when Chen Yu was at the Divine Eagle Sect, Ouyang Shan had incessantly sent messages, challenging him.

Ouyang Shan stood atop the great hall, hurling insults continuously, almost cursing all the elders of the Xuanqing Sect.

But ever since Chen Yu became the Sect Leader, these elders had become unusually Zen-like.

They let Ouyang Shan prattle on without uttering a word in response; one Heavenly Master even handed a cup of tea to Ouyang Shan.

Time passed indeterminably before Chen Yu finally walked slowly onto the square.

"Sect Leader Ouyang, you are really annoying! If you really want to measure up against me, why didn’t you oppose me when we were accepting tasks at Sacred Mountain? What’s the meaning of coming here and causing a ruckus?"

Chen Yu was clearly impatient, simply wanting to send this man away as quickly as possible.

"Chen, no matter what, I just don’t accept you!"

Shouting loudly, Ouyang Shan charged forward, brandishing his long sword.
