He looked at Ye Chen and said with interest, “Ye Chen, there’s something I think you have the right to know. You and your friends have become the target of the major forces and families in Xiangjiang City. If you’re willing to tell us what you’re hiding, Old Bao and I might be able to help you. Otherwise, you might not even be able to live until the day the roundtable meeting commences.”
Ye Chen ignored her and took Wei Ying’s hand as they headed outside.
Since the negotiations had broken down, what was the point of staying?
After Ye Chen left, Bao Peimin frowned and asked, “What did you mean by that?”
The guardian snorted coldly in response.
“This kid is asking for trouble. Fang Zhenye is planning to kill him with a borrowed knife this time. He’s issued a death warrant, with Jiang Dao Mountain’s protection as the reward!”
“It’s true that he killed a guardian, but can he face hundreds of forces? Xiangjiang City is very dangerous. Without our protection, this kid is pretty much doomed!”
“Even that pretty young girl beside him will die.”
Bao Peimin frowned and thought for a long time before he said to Bao Xinhe, “Xinhe, pay attention to Ye Chen’s movements during this period of time. If he’s in danger, let me know immediately.”
Hearing this, the guardian was stunned.
“Old Bao, are you still going to protect this kid? This kid wasn’t even willing to show any sincerity. Is he worth it? He might not even survive the night!”
Bao Peimin took a sip of tea and his ethereal voice sounded, “I see something different in this child. After all these years, my cultivation level has not increased. It may seem like I’ve reached the peak in Huaxia, but I know very well that there are still powerful people in some parts of Huaxia that are stronger than I am. I am pursuing the end of the path of martial arts, so this is just a gamble I’m willing to take up.”
The other guardian shook his head. He felt that Bao Peimin was too old to even see the truth in front of him. That brat was arrogant and ignorant. He would be killed in a few days.
Ye Chen and Wei Ying left the teahouse, hailed a taxi, and headed straight for the hotel.
After the car drove for some distance, Ye Chen suddenly opened his eyes and glanced at the driver.
The driver was looking at him through the rearview mirror, but quickly turned away after noticing Ye Chen’s gaze.
Ye Chen’s lips curled into a smile. This road was not the way to the hotel at all, and it was obvious that they were heading toward some remote area.
Wei Ying also sensed something. She was about to ask about it when she realized that Ye Chen’s hand was holding hers.
She looked at Ye Chen in surprise, and then realized that Ye Chen was winking at her.
Thus, she remained silent.
When the car arrived at Xiangjiang’s quiet seaside, it finally stopped.
The driver was very surprised. Could the two people behind him really not have noticed anything?
“We’re here?” Ye Chen asked calmly, as unmoving as a mountain.
The driver did not think too much about it. He nodded and said sinisterly, “We’re here, but not at your hotel, but your graveyard!”
The driver got out of the car and closed the door.
At the same time, dozens of people emerged from the darkness, each exuding martial auras and wielding sharp weapons. Their cold killing intent engulfed the taxi.
Ye Chen calmly got out of the car and said to Wei Ying, “Stay in the car and play with your phone for a while. After I’m done with them, I’ll bring you back to the hotel.”
Wei Ying’s face was pale. She was about to say something when Ye Chen made a hand seal and tapped on the cab.
In an instant, a golden light flashed and enveloped the taxi.
Ye Chen then leaned against the taxi and lit a cigarette.
Smoke swirled around. From the darkness, a refined-looking man wearing gla.s.ses stepped out. However, contrary to his appearance, his aura was surging with killing intent.
Hundreds of people had died by this man’s hands!
The man held the photo in his hand and glanced at Ye Chen. His eyes instantly lit up with excitement.
There was even a hint of scarlet fanaticism!
“You’re Ye Chen?”
“It looks like the heavens are really helping me. As long as I take your head, Jiang Dao Mountain’s eternal protection will definitely belong to me, Qiu Heng! By then, the Li family will no longer be the leader of Xiangjiang City, but the Qiu family!”
Ye Chen removed the cigarette from his mouth and stood there calmly.
The sea breeze whistled amidst the dark night.
“I only have one cigarette left to smoke.”
Hearing this, Qiu Heng’s expression froze. He did not expect this kid to be so arrogant!
The people he had brought with him were the elites of the Qiu family in Xiangjiang City. Who could stand against them?
However, since it was a death warrant issued by Jiang Dao Mountain’s decree, he did not dare to take it lightly.
He glanced at the experts beside him and said, “Take the kid’s head off his shoulders. Whoever can do so will be heavily rewarded.”
“Yes, Young Master!”
Moments later, dozens of black shadows surged toward Ye Chen, their weapons gleaming coldly under the moonlight.
Ye Chen knocked on the car window and said to Wei Ying, “Close your eyes.”
Wei Ying wanted to say something, but she still quietly obeyed.
The moment she closed her eyes, Ye Chen moved.
A gust of wind surged around him, as he charged toward his attackers. He could also clearly sense that these people were not the ones present.
There were others hidden amidst the darkness, waiting for the right opportunity to make their move!
These people likely belonged to Fang Zhenye’s camp. If they killed Ye Chen here, the Qiu family would take the blame!
Weng!
Ye Chen extended two fingers to deal with the terrifying attacks coming his way, his fingers seemingly becoming some sort of invisible sword!
Qiu Heng and the hidden experts frowned. No one expected that this kid would not even unsheathe his sword in the face of such a crisis.
Only two fingers? What a joke!
However, the very next second, terrifying sword qi wrapped around Ye Chen’s fingers.
“How could this be?”
The Qiu family’s experts who were already less than two meters away from Ye Chen widened their eyes in shock when they saw this scene.
Who would have thought that this kid would actually erupt with such a shocking aura at this moment?
How could sword qi be used like this?
Slash!
Ye Chen did not give these people much time to think as he attacked, swinging his two fingers at his enemies.
This technique was a move that the Slaughter Dao Lord had taught him. If he cultivated it to mastery, he would be able to match even some of the greater spiritual artifacts.
Even though Ye Chen had only scratched the surface, this move had already shocked his enemies, both hidden and open.
Boom!
A rumble was heard as the bodies of dozens of people exploded and collapsed to the floor.. Not one survived!
