Chapter 596: Challenge From The Yagyu Family!
“Apologize!”
Chen Liu’s decibels had increased by several times!
Chen Xue then said to Ye Chen angrily, “I’m sorry!”
“It’s fine. Don’t be so unruly and wilful next time!”
Ye Chen smiled lightly and left with Chiba Yos.h.i.+ko.
Chen Liu maintained his bowing posture from the beginning to the end. He only stood up after Ye Chen disappeared. His back was already soaked in cold sweat.
Chen Xue stomped her feet in anger and complained, “Dad, are you dumb? You actually asked me to apologize to that guy?!”
“Shut your mouth!”
Chen Liu immediately turned around and glared at her fiercely. He said resentfully, “Do you know who that gentleman was?”
“Isn’t he just a weak man that the j.a.panese woman kept? What’s the big deal?”
Chen Xue pouted and mumbled, “No, he’s not even a pretty boy. At least he’s not fair or handsome…”
“Y-You!”
Chen Liu shook his head and sighed, “I’ve spoiled you since you were young. That’s why you behave like this. Do you know who the China No.1 in the cultivation world is?”
“Of course it’s Mad Southern Ye. Everyone in the cultivation world in China should know that, right? Why did you ask me that?”
Chen Xue rolled her eyes at him. Just when she was about to say something, she suddenly looked in the direction where Ye Chen left. The expression on her pretty face could not help but change, “Is h-he…”
She said ‘he’ countless times consecutively as if she was stuttering, completely losing her wit before.
“That’s right!”
Chen Liu confirmed her guess and said solemnly, “That Mr. Ye earlier is the legend of China, Mad Southern Ye!”
He then looked at Chen Xue and warned her, “Only someone like Mr. Ye would not bother with a junior like you. Even ten of me wouldn’t be his match!”
Chen Xue’s face turned pale.
This time, she was completely speechless.
…
As soon as Ye Chen and Chiba Yos.h.i.+ko returned to the Chiba residence, three uninvited guests arrived. They claimed to be from the Abe family and wanted to meet Mad Southern Ye in China.
“Oh, no!”
After Chiba Yos.h.i.+ko heard the news, her expression changed drastically, “Master, it must be Abe Clan going to attack you for destroying the Hidemoto clan!”
The Abe clan, the Hidemoto clan, the Kusakabe clan, and the Kamo clan. These four were the four great Yin Yang Master Clans of j.a.pan. Although they appeared to be in harmony, they were actually very distant from each other. However, if one of them was hurt, the rest would be upset as well.
“Master, this servant is saying that it’s better not to meet them!” Chiba Yos.h.i.+ko advised.
“Since they’ve come to visit us, how can we not meet them?”
Ye Chen shook his head lightly, “Let them in!”
Chiba Yos.h.i.+ko could only lead the three men in while feeling anxious. The leader of the group was a man wearing loose martial art attire and holding a sword. His name was Abe Tak.u.ma.
Abe Tak.u.ma checked out Ye Chen and nodded secretly, “Are you Mad Southern Ye from China?”
“Since you know it’s me, say whatever you’ve got to say!” Ye Chen sat on the high platform and looked down at the three of them.
His words caused the three of them to reveal furious expressions.
Abe Tak.u.ma raised his hand. Subsequently, a scroll shot out from his hand and charged at Ye Chen, “We’re here today for no other purpose than to send a letter of challenge!”
Ye Chen took the scroll and opened it to look at it. He realized that there were words written in white on black paper. There were three conspicuous words on top, ‘Life and Death Agreement’.
“You invaded j.a.pan and killed the innocents without regard for anything. The son of Yagyu s.h.i.+ngen, the head of the Yagyu family, was killed by you!”
Abe Tak.u.ma said righteously, “You should be punished by the j.a.panese law for your crimes. However, since you are a cultivator and the Yagyu family doesn’t want to stir up the matter, we decided to settle it with you!
Tomorrow at noon, Sword Saint Yagyu Aida will invite you to the battle at Mount Fuji. We will sign the Life and Death Agreement according to the rules of your country since ancient times. Life and death don’t matter!”
Hearing that it was Yagyu Aida, Chiba Yos.h.i.+ko immediately said, “Master, don’t accept the challenge. Yagyu Aida is the only Sword Saint in the last hundred years of j.a.pan, and he’s the legend of j.a.pan. He has never been defeated in the past hundred years…”
Abe Tak.u.ma smiled proudly when he heard that. He looked at Ye Chen playfully, “Mad Southern Ye, since you’re the China No.1, do you dare to take the challenge?”
Initially, he thought that Ye Chen would agree since he provoked him like that. Never did he expect the challenge letter in Ye Chen’s hand to turn into countless pieces.
“Mad Southern Ye, you…” Abe Tak.u.ma’s expression turned cold.
Ye Chen revealed disdain on his face, “Sword Saint Yagyu Aida? I’ve never heard of him. Can anyone challenge me? If he really wants to avenge his clansmen, he can come and find me directly. Why would he want a Life and Death Agreement?”
“I will definitely convey your message. I just hope that you won’t regret it!”
Abe Tak.u.ma sneered and left.
Chiba Yos.h.i.+ko, who was standing aside, heaved a sigh of relief. Just when she was about to say something, she heard Ye Chen say, “You get out too. You’re not allowed to come in without my permission!”
Chiba Yos.h.i.+ko could only suppress her doubts and left.
Ye Chen lifted his hand to set up a barrier and let the monkey on his shoulder fall into his hand. He looked at it and said, “Tell me, where did you guys move the foreign fragments to?”
A medicinal pill appeared in his other hand.
The medicinal pill was red and emitted a strong pill fragrance.
…
At the same time, in the Yagyu residence, Yagyu s.h.i.+ngen stood in the courtyard tending to the flowers and plants. After hearing the report, he could not help but be silent for a few seconds. Subsequently, he sneered and said, “Not willing to fight? I didn’t expect the China No.1 to be so cowardly!”
“Master, should we inform Master Aida that the battle has been canceled?” The man could not make up his mind and asked by instinct.
“Cancel?”
An intense resentment flashed across Yagyu s.h.i.+ngen’s eyes, “Who will avenge my son if we cancel it? Since he’s unwilling to fight, we will force him to fight!
From now on, send everyone out to suppress the Chinese cultivators who’re staying in j.a.pan. Destroy all the businesses that the Chinese cultivators run, including the martial arts schools and medical centers. Capture them!”
At this point, a look of revenge and violence appeared on his face, “If they resist, kill them!”
The man was shocked, “Master, will we stir things up for doing this? China is not to be trifled with…”
“We’re only targeting people from the Chinese cultivation world. How big of an impact can it have? I’m going to make Mad Southern Ye a sinner in the eyes of the Chinese cultivation world. I’d like to see how he can sit still by then!”
The showerhead in Yagyu s.h.i.+ngen’s hand shattered.
His smile gradually turned sinister!
