Samsara Graveyard.
Ye Chen walked toward the two tombstones.
The Ghost Prison would open tomorrow, so nothing could be allowed to go wrong. Xuemei Palace had spared no strength in making preparations to kill him.
However, they had forgotten that he was the hunter, not the prey!
Since they had decided to go against him, he would make sure that they were wiped off the face of the Earth!
He did not want anything or anyone to interfere when the Ghost Prison opened at midnight tomorrow. No one was allowed to get between him and his parents!
He would erase every variable!
As one of the top a.s.sa.s.sin organizations in Huaxia, Xuemei Palace possessed a great influence in the martial arts world. Their strength could not be underestimated. It would definitely be difficult for him to destroy them single-handedly. However, the same could not be said if he used the Samsara Graveyard.
However, he did not intend to activate it immediately, as the timing and opportunity mattered as well. After all, these ancient mighty experts had limited time on Earth once he summoned them. He could not allow this limited time to go to waste.
After confirming that the two tombstones could be activated, he gave Xiang Chengdong a call. He intended to pa.s.s the information to Xiang Chengdong of the Medicine Alliance.
On the surface, in terms of status, the Medicine Alliance was on par with the Martial Arts department. Although they were not as strong, Xiang Chengdong was definitely familiar with quite a few things in Huaxia’s martial arts world.
“See you at the university gate in twenty minutes.”
On the other end of the line, Xiang Chengdong was slightly stunned and agreed, “Yes, but Mr. Ye, 1 happen to have something to tell you too.”
Twenty minutes later, at the entrance of the university, inside a closed Maybach with heavenly tinted windows.
When Ye Chen met Xiang Chengdong, he was about to speak when Xiang Chengdong handed him a doc.u.ment.
“Mr. Ye, 1 just got the news that the Xuemei Palace is going to attack you tomorrow. They have even suspended the missions of the top a.s.sa.s.sins and transferred all of them back!”
Ye Chen glanced at the information and placed it aside. “I know.”
“Mr. Ye, do you need the Medicine Alliance to make a statement for you? As long as we release the news that you are our chief consultant, Xuemei Palace will definitely not dare to act recklessly. Although they will still try to a.s.sa.s.sinate you, they should delay the attempt for a few days.”
“Xuemei Palace is the f*cking sc.u.m of the martial arts world for targeting you, Mr. Ye!”
Xiang Chengdong’s voice was a little angry.
Ye Chen shook his head.
“There’s no need for that. 1 contacted you regarding this matter anyway. You should know the location of the headquarters of Xuemei Palace, right?”
Xiang Chengdong’s eyes narrowed. He naturally guessed what was going on and exclaimed, “Mr. Ye, you’re not thinking of attacking Xuemei Palace, are you? No! Xuemei Palace had a deep foundation and many experts. The headquarters of Xuemei Palace will definitely be extremely dangerous now that they’ve recalled those top a.s.sa.s.sins! Please reconsider, Mr. Ye.”
“I don’t need your advice. 1 just want to know where the headquarters of Xuemei Palace is. If you don’t tell me, I will have nothing to do with the Medicine Alliance in the future!”
Ye Chen’s words were cold.
Xiang Chengdong’s face was a little pale, but when he recalled the terrifying scene at the alchemy room back then, he gritted his teeth and made his decision.
“Mr. Ye, Xuemei Palace’s headquarters is near Haijin Lake in the capital. There is a formation there. As long as you break the formation, you will be able to see the headquarters of Xuemei Palace. I heard that their territory encompa.s.ses over ten acres.”
“Although this isn’t a secret, very few forces have ever tried to infiltrate it because of how dangerous it is. Mr. Ye, please think twice.”
“Got it.”
Ye Chen then opened the car door and got out. However, Xiang Chengdong hurriedly asked, “Mr. Ye, do you need my Medicine Alliance’s experts to go with you?”
“No. 1 alone am enough.”
The car door closed.
Xiang Chengdong fell into deep thought. Although Ye Chen had triggered the divine lightning in the alchemy room that day and broken the seal of a Ghost Prison expert, this was completely different from what Ye Chen was trying to do now.
This was a battle…
A battle of one against many!
After thinking for a few seconds, he said, “Take me to Haijin Lake.”
“Yes, Chairman.”
At the same time, in a special office in the capital.
Zheng Renjue had the habit of logging into the website of Xuemei Palace every day. After all, he was in charge of a large portion of Huaxia’s martial artists. If he found any names on the a.s.sa.s.sination website of Xuemei Palace that should not be killed, he would send someone to warn them.
His relationship with Xuemei Palace was nothing special. After all, one was out in the open, while the other was hidden. He could not get too close, otherwise there would be criticism.
Zheng Renjue brewed a cup of tea and was about to take a sip when he saw the big picture and text plastered on the front page of the official website of Xuemei. His expression turned extremely strange, but soon, a smile appeared on his face.
An extremely sinister smile!
That was because the picture was of none other than Ye Chen!
Previously, his subordinate had hired a top a.s.sa.s.sin from Xuemei Palace to kill Ye Chen in Jiangnan Province. However, the a.s.sa.s.sin had failed, and Ye Chen was still alive and well.
Not only that, Ye Chen even went to Hui’an Province to cause a ruckus.
Thus, he no longer harbored any hope for Xuemei Palace, as they could not even get rid of one kid. Such trash!
He had wanted to deal with Ye Chen as well. However, a traitor had appeared among their ranks and he had lost important doc.u.ments!
As such, he was forced to temporarily delay his plan to kill Ye Chen. Thus, this was a welcome surprise. It seemed that Ye Chen had somehow completely offended Xuemei Palace.
Judging from how important this matter was, Xuemei Palace was definitely going all out this time.
Perfect!
Honestly, even he might not be able to withstand an all-out encirclement by Xuemei Palace’s experts, though they would have to pay a huge price to take his head.
As he was gloating over the matter, he noticed the address listed on the website…
Capital City University!
He narrowed his eyes and instantly understood.
“It looks like this kid is planning to enter Ghost Prison. Hehe, does he really think it’s that easy? Even if you manage to escape Xuemei Palace, 1 won’t let you take a single step inside!”
Capital City, Haijin Lake.
This area was located in the western suburbs of the capital. It was very remote and most of it was covered in farmland. Capital City’s government had yet to come up with a plan to develop this area.
Haijin Lake was a small freshwater lake. It was named Haijin Lake because a few hundred years ago, someone had come here to seek gold.
(T/N: Golden Lake.)
Ye Chen got out of the taxi.
A cold wind blew and the place seemed a little bleak.
“The place Xiang Chengdong mentioned should be nearby.”
Ye Chen closed his eyes. He could vaguely feel the ripples of the formation underground. Even the magnetic field here had been altered.
His eyes were filled with killing intent, and inside his body the blood dragon roared and was full of fighting spirit.
Tracing the spiritual fluctuations from the formation, Ye Chen headed upstream. The further he went, the lower the pressure became, making him feel uncomfortable.
Suddenly, Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed. He noticed that the fallen leaves not far away were falling to the side!
It was there!
The fallen leaves were pointing to the entrance to Xuemei Palace!
