Chapter 673: Because You Will Die in My Hands!
“So what if I am?”
Ye Chen looked at him. His gaze was as cold as a knife!
The young man lowered his head and examined his ten fingers. He said casually, “To be able to remain calm under my pressure, you do have some ability. No wonder you were able to kill the two pieces of trash, including Duan Hong!”
Before Ye Chen could say anything, the man lifted his head slowly and took a step forward. He was practically leaning against Ye Chen’s face as he said, “My name is Duan Feng. Please remember my name, because you’ll die in my hands!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave when an extremely indifferent voice resounded, “Did I ask you to leave?”
Duan Feng stopped slowly when he heard that. He turned around and looked at Ye Chen arrogantly, “Are you in such a hurry to reincarnate?”
Ye Chen scoffed. Just when he was about to attack, Dai Tinglou, who was behind him, suddenly pulled him back and said in a deep voice, “Don’t be ras.h.!.+”
At the same time, Yan Nanfei and the rest also begged, “That’s right, Mr. Ye. You mustn’t be rash at such a time!”
How could they not be enraged being humiliated like this?!
However, they had no choice but to lower their heads!
Moreover, today’s matter had something to do with whether Shang Santian could coexist with the secular world. If they were to fall out over such a small matter, they would lose the greater good due to a small matter.
Dai Tinglou still held onto Ye Chen’s hand tightly. There was a pleading look in his eyes, “Listen to me. Please don’t!”
“Hahaha, at least you know your place!”
Duan Feng was getting more and more pleased with himself. After a long laugh, he disappeared into the corridor. His echoing laughter sounded like he was mocking Ye Chen and the rest.
At this time, Niu Qingshan led his men over and frowned, “What happened?”
Dai Tinglou immediately explained what had happened.
“It was an absolute disgrace!”
Niu Qingshan was furious after hearing that. However, he still looked at Ye Chen, “You’re right not to attack. They’re making you attack. That way, they’ll have an excuse to attack you. You don’t have to be mad at them!”
“Why should I be mad?”
Ye Chen smirked coldly. His eyes were filled with killing intent, “This person is already dead in my eyes!”
“Let’s go, almost everyone is here!”
Niu Qingshan thought that he was venting his anger. He sighed softly and led his men into the elevator. He pressed the b.u.t.ton that led to the 18th floor.
After what had happened earlier, everyone’s mood was rather terrible. They had always prided themselves on being powerful, but now that Duan Feng had appeared, they realized how fragile they were.
It also made them realize the true power of Shang Santian.
Yan Nanfei could not help but ask the question in everyone’s mind, “Elder Niu, who is that Duan Feng?”
Niu Qingshan met everyone’s gaze and said seriously, “A total of nine great ancient martial families have come to Shang Santian for this negotiation!”
The moment that was said, everyone’s expression changed!
So many ancient martial families had come to Shang Santian at once, and there were only a few dozen people from the Chinese cultivation world. The negotiation was destined to be unequal.
“They’re the Bai, Xiao, Lin, Duan, Du, Huang, Tang, Luo, and Liu Family!”
Niu Qingshan took a deep breath in and said confidently, “And that Duan Feng earlier represented the Duan Family to partic.i.p.ate in the negotiation. It’s said that this person is only 24 years old, and his strength is extremely terrifying. Even in the Duan Family, he’s a genius of the younger generation!”
Ye Chen could not help but have his gaze frozen hearing that.
Duan Feng injured Dai Tinglou and the others with merely his aura!
He was only a disciple of the younger generation!
As if sensing everyone’s worry, Niu Qingshan smiled and said, “However, you don’t have to worry too much. This time, China has also sent quite a number of people, such as me from the Dragon Soul, the Heavenly Palace, and even the military. Moreover, there are some relatively reasonable people among the nine great families!”
Everyone’s expression softened.
Soon, the elevator reached the 18th floor. Niu Qingshan seemed to have thought of something after the elevator door opened. He looked up at Ye Chen.
“Ye, today’s matter is of great importance. You must remember not to be rash, and you must not anger anyone from Shang Santian!”
“I know!”
Ye Chen replied ambiguously.
Only then did Niu Qingshan nod his head and lead the group out of the elevator. What greeted their eyes was a hall that spanned over 300 square meters.
There were two gray clothed old men guarding the entrance of the hall. The two of them were resting with their eyes closed, and they seemed to be sleeping soundly. However, the energy that faintly emitted from within caused Dai Tinglou and the rest to be shocked.
Niu Qingshan walked over and said a few words to the two of them before gesturing for them to enter. When Ye Chen pa.s.sed them by, one of the old men suddenly opened his eyes and said, “You’re Mad Southern Ye?”
Ye Chen glared at him sharply.
“I’m a member of the Huang family. You killed my family’s descendant, Huang Yan. I need you to give me an explanation later!”
The old man closed his eyes again.
Obviously, he was unwilling to accept any explanation!
“Alright, I’ll definitely give you an explanation!”
Ye Chen squinted and walked into the hall.
A huge round table was placed in the middle of the hall. Both the table and the red carpet were antique, and there were more than ten people sitting on it.
The moment Ye Chen walked in, countless gazes converged on Dai Tinglou and the rest in the hall, and their gazes were like blades that pressured Dai Tinglou and the others to the point of disorder.
Some of them could not withstand the invisible pressure and turned to run away, “I’m not partic.i.p.ating, I’m not partic.i.p.ating!”
Anger flashed across Niu Qingshan’s eyes!
Ye Chen was the only one who remained unmoved. He swept his gaze across the table and realized that most people were staring at him.
Duan Feng, who was sitting on the right, made a throat-slitting gesture when he noticed Ye Chen’s gaze.
There was also a long-haired young man dressed in black who looked at him with eyes as sharp as an eagle’s. The corner of his lips curled into a sinister smile.
“Is he Mad Southern Ye?”
A young man who looked simple and honest looked at Ye Chen. He could not help but nod when he saw that Ye Chen was neither servile nor overbearing under everyone’s aura, “You’re brave and bold. Seems like the rumors are true!”
“Liu Qing, you’re a member of the Liu family after all. What kind of person would judge someone based on their presence? What if he’s just putting on a brave front?”
A lady with freckles on her face scoffed and looked at Ye Chen in disdain, “I’ve seen many people like him. He’s just someone who pretends to be calm.”
“That’s right. How can a piece of trash who hasn’t even reached martial venerable be called the China No.1?” Another young man with a cold face snickered.
“Enough!”
At that moment, a cold voice was heard.
Luo Shuiyao, who was sitting in the middle, spoke. She glanced at everyone coldly and said to Ye Chen, “Ye Chen, please get your people to sit!”
Ye Chen nodded lightly. Under everyone’s gaze, he found empty seats that they had prepared beforehand and sat down. His expression was as st.u.r.dy as a mountain.
Luo Shuiyao and Tang Jianfeng looked at each other and nodded secretly. Clearly, Ye Chen’s performance had exceeded their expectations.
A few seconds later, Luo Shuiyao stood up and pointed at the honest young man by her side as she introduced, “This is Liu Qing, a member of the Liu family of Shang Santian!”
The man named Liu Qing nodded slightly at Ye Chen and smiled kindly, “I’ve long heard of Mad Southern Ye’s great name. Now that I’ve seen you, you’re indeed worthy of your reputation.”
Ye Chen returned the smile.
At that moment, four figures walked in from outside.
They were Lin Han, Su Youwei, Du Ming, and Ouyang Qing.
After they took their seats, Luo Shuiyao began to introduce them one by one, “This is Xiao Yang from the Xiao, the Xiao family of Shang Santian. This is…”
However, compared to Liu Qing, the others treated Ye Chen coldly. Some of them did not even bother to hide their hostility.
When she introduced Bai Xin from the Bai family, Bai Xin’s gaze was threatening, “Mad Southern Ye, you sure are something. Not only you dared to kill people from my Bai family, you even killed two of them in a row.”
Ye Chen smiled lightly, “If someone insists on sticking their head out to test my saber, I’ll fulfil their wis.h.!.+”
“You…”
Bai Xin flew into a rage.
“Enough!”
Luo Shuiyao shouted and turned to look at the last young man in black. She introduced, “This is the Palace Master of Heavenly Palace from China, Guan Shanyue!”
Ye Chen lifted his eyes and looked over.
