Chen Jie cornered the injured ugly girl outside the forest, blocking her repeated escape attempts and ignoring her accusations of being despicable, as warned by Aunt Han. She pleaded for release, promising to speak favorably to her grandfather at Bright Peak, but Chen Jie insisted on using her as leverage for his own gain. When she shouted for help from a group of approaching Jianghu warriors, Chen Jie unleashed a terrifying roar from his Molten Furnace Realm power, scattering them and claiming their burlap sack. He sealed her acupoints, stuffed her inside, and carried her toward Lantian County, later unlocking her speech to learn that his old acquaintance Han Ling’er had vouched for him.

At the same time, Chen Jie discovered the ugly girl's name; she carries the surname Liu and goes by Caidie, serving as the granddaughter from Liu Futong’s eldest son.

She was meant to remain at Bright Peak, yet her passion for wandering the Jianghu pulled her away. Liu Futong, who indulges her greatly, typically dispatches two guards to join her in her mischief.

But lately, the Six Great Sects have grown agitated, allying with the court to launch an assault on Bright Peak.

Liu Futong commanded the ugly girl's escorts to keep her concealed outside and forbade her return, though she uncovered the plan.

The moment she learned of her grandfather's peril, she impulsively decided to hurry back to Bright Peak. Her guards refused to permit it, so she seized a moment of their distraction to slip away.

Unexpectedly, though, her location got exposed en route, drawing the attention of the Kunlun Sect.

They planned to seize her and drag her to Bright Peak as leverage against her grandfather.

That's precisely how their paths crossed on the journey.

Once Chen Jie pieced together the full story, he offered a gentle reminder: "In truth, you ought to heed your grandfather. Given your skills, you couldn't offer significant aid against the Six Great Sects storming Bright Peak."

The ugly girl shot back: "If I'm useless, does that mean I should stay away? Wouldn't you rush to save your kin if they faced a siege, regardless of whether you could assist?"

Chen Jie fell quiet for a moment upon hearing her words, before responding: "You might be correct; familial bonds often drive irrational choices."

With that, Chen Jie added: "Fine, stay silent from now on. We're nearing Lantian City, so make no noise, understand?"

The ugly girl retorted: "Why must I obey you?"

At her words, Chen Jie wasted no time on debate; he swiftly extended his fingers and sealed her acupoints with a precise jab.

Ugly girl:...

In this manner, Chen Jie reached the city gate, where the sentry noticed him shouldering a burlap sack and inquired: "What's in that sack?"

Chen Jie answered: "Oh, merely some piglets I've snared for the household."

The guard insisted: "Allow me to inspect it."

Chen Jie agreed: "Of course, sirs, if you please."

As he spoke, he discreetly passed a fragment of silver into their palms.

The pair of guards sensed the silver chunk and instantly grasped the situation; this youth was likely a human trafficker who'd nabbed a kid from somewhere.

Occurrences like this were commonplace, provided one followed protocol and compensated accordingly.

The guards grinned and waved him off: "Piglets, eh? No need for a check, proceed inside."

Chen Jie promptly clasped his hands in thanks, while the ugly girl within the sack seethed with rage, inwardly raging: "Chen Jiusi, you're the piglet, and your entire clan consists of piglets."

So, Chen Jie passed through into the city, heading directly afterward to the grandest inn there, securing a chamber, bolting it shut, and then slipping to a modest, rundown inn at the rear of the establishment to book another space.

By dusk, Chen Jie savored a hearty feast and ale in the upscale tavern, then headed back to his quarters.

He cracked open the window and stealthily transported the sack over to the dingy little inn, completing the transfer without a soul noticing or hearing a thing.

No sooner had Chen Jie wrapped up this task than a band of newcomers burst through the entrance, spearheaded by Chang Xuzi. Trailing him stood a towering, brutish figure, a trusted aide to King Qi dubbed Overlord Blade Qi Chun, whose power outstripped even Chang Xuzi's, attaining the Half-step Melting God realm.

This crew arrived at the inn, prompting the proprietor to rush forward: "Gentlemen, seeking lodging?"

One of the guards accompanying Overlord Blade Qi Chun promptly flashed the Prince Mansion’s Waist Token.

The shopkeeper's eyes bulged in shock as he bowed deeply: "Ah, what commands do the esteemed officials bring?"

Chang Xuzi then declared: "Has a young man with a burlap sack checked into your establishment today?"
