Yang Che was momentarily stunned, feeling a bit troubled.

Evidently, Wen Tong had recognized his identity as 'Wei Yuan'.

However, Yang Che knew nothing about Wen Tong.

Seeing that 'Uncle Wei Yuan' seemed not to recognize him, Wen Tong immediately grew suspicious.

This was because Wen Tong clearly knew that Wei Yuan was already dead.

"You are not Wei Yuan!"

Wen Tong regained his composure, his face instantly turning cold.

Although he appeared servile in front of the princess, he was actually a very shrewd person.

In that instant, Wen Tong was almost scared witless, thinking that this 'Wei Yuan' had come specifically for him.

After all, he had conned many people in the Hexi region out of their full pattern star stones.

Now, realizing that the person in front of him was not Wei Yuan, he immediately started to have other ideas.

However, just then, a slightly childish voice almost made Wen Tong bite his tongue.

A small boy with delicate and proper facial features and very short hair suddenly ran out from the crowd not far away, heading straight for Yang Che: "Dad, why did you run off here? My sister and I have been looking for you for ages."

The little boy walked to Yang Che's side, but suddenly saw Wen Tong, and his eyes immediately blazed with fury: "Oh, Wen Tong, so you've been hiding in the city all along, no wonder we couldn't find you. Quickly return the one hundred full pattern star stones!"

Wen Tong pointed at Yang Che, then at the little boy Wei Chen, looking incredulous.

"Wei Chen, is he... is he really your dad?"

Evidently, Wen Tong still didn't believe it. This Wei Yuan was simply too different from the Wei Yuan in his memory.

"What? You don't even recognize my dad? My dad is blessed with boundless good fortune; he was fortunate enough to be resurrected by an Immortal Pill. Although he has temporarily lost his memory, his cultivation has also recovered. Wen Tong, my eleven households in Hexi, a total of one thousand one hundred full pattern star stones, quickly return them, or else, don't blame my dad for being impolite to you."

Wei Chen glared, looking 'fierce and evil'.

However, the shrewd Wen Tong still vaguely felt that something was amiss.

Just then, Yang Che suddenly felt his heart tighten.

Almost instinctively, he pulled Wei Chen with his left hand and the brown-clothed man with his right, activating the 'Instant Teleportation' of the Flash Cloud Boots, instantly appearing more than ten feet away with the two of them.

At the spot where they had stood earlier, a faint light suddenly exploded, and a deep pit more than ten feet wide appeared on the ground.

Yang Che's eyes were cold.

Wei Chen and the brown-clothed man both showed looks of horror.

If not for Yang Che's intervention, the two of them would likely have been reduced to dust by now.

"Princess, today is the Spirit Restriction Day, no one is allowed to use spiritual power to fight in the city. Why did you suddenly attack?"

The brown-clothed man stared at the robust young woman Sha Jin, who still maintained her attacking posture and was coldly looking back at Yang Che, and spoke in a low, dissatisfied tone.

The robust young woman Sha Jin did not speak, but the nearby Wen Tong pointed at the brown-clothed man and cursed: "What is your identity, what is your status? And what is the princess's identity and status? How dare you speak to the princess like that, I think you're tired of living."

After Wen Tong finished speaking, he immediately bowed respectfully to the robust young woman Sha Jin: "Please grant me special permission, Princess, so I can use my spiritual power to properly teach these ignorant fellows a lesson."

Sha Jin then glanced at Wen Tong disdainfully and said indifferently: "Granted."

Wen Tong's face quickly filled with joy, and with a pat of his Storage Pouch, a red whip Magical Artifact appeared in his hand.

As spiritual power was infused, the red whip immediately transformed into countless fiery red whip shadows, striking towards Yang Che and the other two.

"Princess, since you took the lead in breaking the rules, I, Pi, will naturally no longer abide by these broken rules."

As the brown-clothed man spoke, he had already activated a spiritual talisman, forming an earthy yellow light shield that protected the three of them.

When the fiery red whip shadows landed on the earthy yellow light shield, a continuous 'crackling' sound immediately rang out.

Wen Tong's face instantly became a bit unsightly.

His cultivation was originally below that of Pi Luo, the brown-clothed man. He had thought that Pi Luo would never dare to use spiritual power, but who knew that Pi Luo would be so bold.

However, this was also good, Wen Tong's face quickly showed a hint of insidious smile.

Although he knew that he was no match for Pi Luo in a direct confrontation, he still continuously cast Spells and spiritual power, forcing Pi Luo to act.

Pi Luo was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, while Wen Tong was at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

Therefore, Pi Luo did not expend much effort to block Wen Tong's attack.

Yang Che looked at the brown-clothed man with some surprise.

He had a faint feeling that this brown-clothed man, from the very beginning when he spoke to remind him, to now being forced to use spiritual power, seemed to have done it intentionally.

After all, a False Core Cultivator daring to challenge a Core Formation Late Stage Cultivator was inherently very strange.

However, Yang Che had no time to deal with these matters now.

Regardless of the brown-clothed man's purpose, the 'Instant Teleportation' just now was already considered repaying the brown-clothed man's kind intention of speaking out.

Just now, he had asked Tianxie Ziyin a question, and after receiving a definite answer, Yang Che had already decided to hold nothing back.

"Wei Chen, go back to your sister."

Yang Che patted Wei Chen's shoulder, signaling that he could leave now.

After all, it was still Spirit Restriction Day, and Yang Che believed that it shouldn't be difficult for Wei Chen to run into the crowd.

Wei Chen also knew that his strength was too weak to help, so he seized an opening and immediately ran out of the earthy yellow light shield, dashing towards the crowd where his sister was.

However, he hadn't run far when a 'spiritual spear' as fast as lightning flew over with a 'whoosh', directly piercing one of Wei Chen's legs.

As blood splattered, Wei Chen immediately stumbled and fell to the ground, but he gritted his teeth, didn't utter a sound, and still struggled to crawl forward.

"Brother Chen."

Wei Shan had already rushed out of the crowd the moment she saw the spiritual spear flying over.

However, her speed was ultimately not faster than the spiritual spear, and she watched helplessly as her brother's calf was pierced and he fell to the ground bleeding in front of her.

Picking up Wei Chen, Wei Shan's face showed both heartache and regret; she shouldn't have let her brother run out so rashly just now.

She was about to carry her brother away when a loud shout suddenly rang out in mid-air: "Everyone stay where you are, whoever moves dies!"

Wei Shan looked up, and her face instantly turned pale.

In mid-air, a large number of Foundation Establishment Cultivators wearing unified protective armor rapidly flew towards them.

On their protective armor, there were scorpion patterns.

These people were not only unaffected by the flight Restriction, but could also use spiritual power recklessly.

The leader, who was also the one who had shouted just now, was even an Early Golden Core Stage Cultivator.

After the man shouted, he ordered a portion of his subordinates to fly towards Wei Shan and her brother, while another portion quickly surrounded Yang Che and Pi Luo.

"Holy Scorpion Guard King Yan greets the Princess."

The Early Golden Core Stage Cultivator was dressed like a middle-aged scholar, but his face was completely unlike a scholar's, bearing a fierce expression.

The robust young woman Sha Jin still maintained a high and mighty demeanor. She spoke indifferently and disdainfully: "Wang Yan, these ignorant fools, kill them and hang their heads on the city gate as a warning to others."

"Yes."

Wang Yan's eyes flashed with excitement and bloodlust. After bowing respectfully, he said to the guards:

"Listen carefully. These ignorant bastards, cut off their heads and hang them above the city gate."

At Wang Yan's command, Foundation Establishment Cultivators already holding long knives walked towards Wei Shan and her brother.

Just then, Yang Che pulled the brown-clothed man, and once again used Instant Teleportation, appearing in front of Wei Shan and her brother.

He quickly took out two Nourishing Yuan Pills and handed them to Wei Shan, saying: "Give these to Wei Chen. After that, don't worry about anything, just stay behind me at all times."

After speaking, he looked at the brown-clothed man and said: "Fellow Daoist, it seems you can't leave either. Just like these siblings, stay behind me."

The brown-clothed man immediately nodded: "Pi Luo thanks Fellow Daoist."

Yang Che nodded, suddenly feeling a chill on his back.

Looking back, he found that Princess Sha Jin, who had originally been preparing to leave, had fixed her gaze on him, revealing a thoughtful expression.

At the same time, the Foundation Establishment guard holding the long knife slashed at Yang Che, who was standing in front of the group.

Yang Che's expression was calm, and his aura suddenly changed in an instant.

Then he showed a strange smile and pointed forward with his finger.

A soft 'puff' sound.

A large bloody hole appeared in the forehead of the Foundation Establishment guard holding the long knife, and he then fell to the ground, dead.

Everyone was greatly startled, and the surroundings instantly fell silent.
