Chapter 421: The People from Xieling Have Appeared!
“Scram, all of you! Master Xiegu is coming through. We won’t be responsible for anyone getting hurt!”
A rumble came as soon as that voice was heard. When Ye Chen spread his Divine Consciousness out, he sensed three BMWs driving over in a single file. Meanwhile, there were a few luxury cars behind them. They were rather overbearing and selfish.
“Be careful!” Yu Lei grabbed onto Ye Chen’s hand almost immediately. They retreated aside with Yu Lian. Meanwhile, the three BMWs were speeding, and they almost rammed into Zhizhi and her brother who were walking in front.
“Dodge, Zhizhi!” Yu Lian screamed by instinct.
Zhizhi turned her head and was shocked when she saw the three BMWs that were close to her. She froze and did not dodge.
“Come on!”
Ye Chen froze just when he was going to save her. As a calm voice came, a giant hunk with muscular body suddenly appeared before Zhizhi.
The giant hunk was fearless despite the approaching three cars. He shrieked and stomped both feet as he stretched his arms that were like dragons at the cars’ hoods.
Bang!
The ground shook and dust was sent flying.
As the dust faded, they saw the giant hunk stop all three of the BMWs. He had merely taken a step back. However, his feet were buried deep in the ground.
More than ten people who were in the cars were horrified.
‘Is he human?’
Ye Shan reacted within a few breaths. He walked over immediately to take a good look at Zhizhi as he was worried. “S-Sister, are you alright?”
“Zhizhi!” Yu Lian walked over quickly.
“I-I’m fine!” Zhizhi was extremely pale. She shook her head, still looking shocked. She then said to the giant hunk before her, “Thank you.”
If not for the giant hunk who had shown up earlier, she would have definitely died!
At the same time, more than ten hunks walked out of the three BMWs. They surrounded the giant hunk while the leader yelled, “Who are you? How dare you block Master Xiegu’s way?”
However, the giant hunk said nothing.
“Aren’t you guys shameless?” Yu Lian on the other hand glared angrily at them. “You guys drove in such an overbearing manner. Do you know that someone would’ve been killed if he didn’t show up? And now you guys are blaming him?”
“Who is this fool to be daring to stick his nose in our business?!” Enraged, the man stretched his arm out and slapped Yu Lian by instinct.
Bang!
At that moment, gravel shot from far away, landing on the man’s wrist, hence he shrieked in devastation and retreated. He said as if he had just seen a ghost, “Who’s that?”
“Anyone can make mistakes. Forgive them when possible!” said a calm voice.
Subsequently, three people in black attire and hats leaped from a tree by the side. A tall man was leading them.
Because he was wearing a hat, his face was hidden. However, his voice was rather thick as he criticized, “Xiegu, you’re allowing your underlings to behave terribly and risk others’ lives. Watch out for the people from the Secret Bureau coming after you! Recall!”
He turned around and performed a hand seal at the giant hunk behind him after speaking. The giant hunk’s body shrunk. Eventually, it turned into a yellow talisman, which he then put away in his sleeve.
The people were so shocked that they could not speak. Clearly, they did not expect a living man to turn into a talisman.
A gleam flashed through Ye Chen’s eyes. ‘Was that a battle mechanic? Was that the Puppet Technique?’
Legend had it that during the Three Kingdoms, Zhang Jue and his brothers were the Nanhua Old Immortal’s understudies during the Yellow Turban Rebellion. The Nanhua Old Immortal had pa.s.sed the Taiping Daoism down to them, thus they inherited the Puppet Technique in it. Subsequently, Zhang Jue created many Yellow Turban Battle Mechanics!
The Yellow Turban Battle Mechanics had immense strength. No guns and knives could pierce through them. They could not feel pain, and they were known as the fearless battle machines. Meanwhile, that giant hunk that saved Zhizhi looked like a Yellow Turban Battle Mechanic.
“I was wondering who that was. So, it’s the people from Xieling!” commented a rather cold voice. A skinny old man with wrinkles and pockmarks all over his face got out of the Ferrari behind the BMWs. He looked ferocious while his eyes were as sharp as a falcon.
The people could not help but felt a chill in them as soon as he appeared. They felt as if they were in an ice house.
“You people from Xieling never show up or stick your nose in worldly business. Why are you guys going to the Longmen Convention?” Master Xiegu had his eyes on the three people in hats after glancing at Ye Chen and the rest coldly. He had a grin on his face.
“That’s none of your business. You’ll suffer from your ill intentions. That’s all we’re going to tell you!” the three people in the hats said expressionlessly and disappeared from where they were.
Master Xiegu watched them leave coldly.
A hunk next to him took a step forward and said softly despite looking ferocious, “Master, the three of them interrupted your journey. Do you want me to teach them a lesson?”
“Do you think you can do that?” Master Xiegu glanced at him in disdain. “Do you know that even I’m scared of them? Do you think that those underlings of yours can hurt them?”
The hunk remained silent.
“Interesting. Even Xieling is here. I’m sure people from Banshan, Mojin, and Faqiu are here too.” Master Xiegu smirked in a playful manner. Then, he had his eyes on Ye Chen and the rest. He said to the hunk at ease, “As for them, we’ll kill them when we have the chance!”
He returned to the Ferrari after he was done speaking. The three BMWs opened the path for him just like before. He left as if he was the moon surrounded by the stars.
Ye Chen watched the cars depart far away.
Yu Lian was angry when she noticed that he remained still. “What are you looking at? Let’s go!”
All of them were shocked from the danger that Zhizhi had been put through earlier. They felt upset. However, Ye Chen was the only one who looked normal and ignorant. To her, that was cold-blooded and selfis.h.!.+
Ye Chen ignored her because he was pondering what this Secret Bureau that the man in a hat had mentioned. He could not help but glance at Yu Lei and Yu Lian before he secretly shook his head. He made up his mind to ask the Dragon King, Niu Qingshan, when he returned.
Soon, they arrived at Zhizhi’s home. It was a two-story brick house with simple decorations. There was livestock such as pigs and goats at home. Judging by that, Zhizhi’s family was fairly poor. However, they looked happy. They seemed like they were content even though they did not have much.
Zhizhi’s father was hospitable as he treated them to chickens, ducks as well as braised hare. One could tell that Yu Lian had a close relations.h.i.+p with her family. However, Ye Chen did not ask any further.
They were chatting after eating while Ye Chen just listened. He found out that Zhizhi had an elder brother who was in the military. He belonged to the same batch as Yu Lian and the rest, so they had gotten to know Yu Lian when the family visited the brother at work.
Noticing that they were almost done with the topic, Ye Chen glanced at Zhizhi’s father, Ye Feng, and said, “Uncle Ye, I wonder how many sinkholes are there in Shennongjia.”
