After divorcing my celebrity wife, I became the world's richest person-Chapter 540 Bring Friends Along
The leader of the sect sighed helplessly.
He understood that Chen Yu simply had no desire to be the helmsman of the Daoist sect.
Moreover, today marked the great day of the annihilation of the Divine Eagle Sect, and he didn’t want to make things too rigid.
"Alright, let’s put aside the matter of the helmsman for now! We should first consider taking over the assets of the Divine Eagle Sect."
This statement gave everyone a way to step down, and they retreated one after another.
Chen Yu also turned around and, with great respect, performed a Daoist etiquette, then left with Xiao Chun.
After descending the mountain, the two arrived in the small town on the outskirts.
Although all the children had been sent away before, there were still some friends of Xiao Chun in the town.
She wanted to take them all with her before leaving.
Although the small town was not large, the residents were rich merchants with business dealings with the Divine Eagle Sect.
Many of the basic constructions were funded and built by these merchants.
Thus, the small town appeared quite prosperous, and there was even an Antiquity Street.
Rushed and panicked, Xiao Chun led Chen Yu to a somewhat dilapidated slum area.
In the large shanty, there was only an elderly man leaning against a wooden stump, constantly coughing.
"Grandpa Huang!" Xiao Chun hurriedly ran over. The old man struggled to lift his head, his dry eyes covered with a layer of white crystalline mist, seemingly a sign of cataracts.
"Xiao Chun!" exclaimed the old man, somewhat surprised, "You escaped?"

Xiao Chun nodded, "Why are you alone here? Where is Xiao Xue? And where did the others go?"
The old man sighed helplessly.
"We, in such a place, cannot survive; many people have left!"
"Xiao Xue went to the Antiquity Street to get us some food, saying she was going to sell the family heirloom heaven bead!"
Xiao Chun immediately became anxious and hurriedly ran towards the street not far away.
Chen Yu quickly followed her!
Upon arriving at Antiquity Street, they saw a large crowd of people gathered around a small stall, bustling with noise.
"Looks like this young lady is in trouble today! The smashed items won’t cost less than one or two hundred thousand."
"Such a young age with such a temper, if something is wrong, she wrecks the seller’s merchandise. Why on earth did she have to flip over the stall?"
"This peddler is not a good man either; he might indeed have cheated the young girl."
...
Chen Yu and Xiao Chun hurriedly ran over and squeezed into the crowd.
A girl looking around ten years old was half-lying on the ground, her face full of grievance, her fair arms covered with wounds, likely from being cut by the broken porcelain. Continue your adventure with novelbuddy
The stall owner, an extremely sleazy middle-aged man, was grabbing the girl’s collar, refusing to let go.
"Little sister, I won’t hold the other damaged items against you, but this jade is my family treasure. If you don’t give me an explanation, we can’t settle this matter today!"
Chen Yu glanced at the so-called family treasure in the middle-aged man’s hand and his face immediately filled with a trace of mockery.
It was nothing more than a piece of inferior jade made of synthetic zirconium dioxide.
"Boss, that’s enough, no need to be so petty with a child!"
Chen Yu lightly pulled the stall owner’s hand away and smoothly handed Xiao Xue over to Xiao Chun’s side.
The vendor was displeased and casually pulled out a large ring-eyed saber from nearby.
"You little punk, want to play the hero, don’t you? Well then, that Jade Pendant plus everything on my stall comes to seventy-eight million. Pay up!"
Chen Yu couldn’t help but laugh.
"Buddy, not a single item on your stall is genuine. Altogether they’re not even worth five hundred..."
"Do you have no respect for the rules!" the vendor immediately interrupted Chen Yu, "What do you mean not a single real thing? My stall was personally certified by Tang Wuye, how could there be fakes?"
As soon as the name Tang Wuye was mentioned, the crowd around them fell silent in an instant.
Chen Yu immediately deployed his system and in the blink of an eye, Tang Wuye’s personal information appeared in his mind.
Turns out this guy had some background, once a hall master of the Divine Eagle Sect.
After offending Tuoba Qingfeng, however, he had been relegated here.
But this fellow had some real ability; before long he had become a big shot in the city, even holding the entire antique street in his grip!
Yet Chen Yu’s face showed nothing but disdain. He had already wiped out the Divine Eagle Sect, and for a former hall master of theirs, how could he be significant?
"I see this Mr. Tang is nothing special either! To pass off a pile of junk as treasures, let him come out here. I want to ask him myself how he did the certification."
"Who’s looking for me?" A leisurely voice came from not too far away.
A chubby uncle with a shaved head, wearing simple white Hanfu and holding a pair of white jade health balls, came over, surrounded by several bodyguards.
This man looked somewhat endearing, and even Chen Yu couldn’t muster any animosity towards him.
From the analysis of his brain information, Tang Wuye wasn’t an utterly evil person.
Moreover, the genuine items certified by him on this street were actually few and far between, so naturally, a small stall set up on the street couldn’t have possibly received his certification.
Twirling his health balls, Tang Wuye approached the vendor with a somber face.
"I don’t seem to recall certifying your stall!"
The vendor was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, his soul nearly flying out of his body.
"Wuye, spare my life, I was just trying to scrape a living, so I borrowed your name. You are a big man, please don’t remember the faults of a little man, just spare me this once!"
Tang Wuye had no intention of dealing with this guy, instead, he took a keen interest in approaching Chen Yu.
"Little brother, it seems like you look down on me! On this street, I am the best antique appraiser, every treasure that appears here has to pass through my hands..."
Chen Yu became impatient; the Divine Eagle Sect had already been taken over by the Dao Sect, and he didn’t want to stay here any longer, let alone discuss treasure appraisal with the bald fat man before him.
"Mr. Tang, I have some matters to attend to, I must take my leave now."
He said politely, as Chen Yu prepared to leave, carrying Xiao Xue on his back.
"Stop right there!" Tang Wuye was persistent, "You’re pretty bold, kid, thinking you can just come and go as you please?"
Chen Yu’s brow furrowed, initially he had thought the bald fat man was a reasonable person, but it turned out he was just another pest.
"So, what do you want?"
Chen Yu’s voice suddenly became low and stern, and a blue-white glow of electric current appeared between the palms of his hands.
Tang Wuye was about to speak when several figures dressed in black Daoist robes came running over.
"Old Wu, what are you still doing here? Notify everyone immediately, from today onward, this small town belongs to the Dao Sect!"
Tang Wuye’s face was full of shock, this place was an outer barrier of the Divine Eagle Sect, how could it be handed over to the Dao Sect?
Before he could react, those in the black Daoist robes suddenly knelt before Chen Yu.
