The old woman's mission was to ensure that the positions of the big sects would not be snatched because there were thousands of martial artists who came this time, and 70% of them were below the Mid-stage Yellow Realm. If all of them entered the secret territory, there would not be enough treasures to go around. Therefore, with her cultivation at the Mid-stage Heaven Realm, she represented the Kunlun, Ethereal, Carefree, Wudang, Emei, and Shaolin Sects as one of the supervisors of the secret territory. She was not the only one who thought of stopping the martial artists below the Mid-stage Yellow Realm from entering the secret territory. It was also the decision of the six sects. At the same time, in her eyes, these martial artists below the Mid-stage Yellow Realm were just ants who did not deserve the treasures in the secret territory.
When the other supervisors saw that the old woman was instantly killed by Ye Chen, they naturally dared to act rashly.
Ye Chen told Xu Jinglei and the other two that she would pick them up in two days. After sending them into the secret territory in advance, she closed the secret territory. This scene shocked all the martial artists present. Who was this person? Why could he open and close the secret territory's barrier at will? A casual palm strike from a distance had actually killed a middle-stage Heaven Realm expert. Just what kind of strength did this person have?
Ye Chen glanced coldly at the old woman's cold corpse and said in a dull voice, "As an ant, you should have the awareness of being an ant. If you don't have the strength, don't come out blindly!"
"Martial artists below the Mid-stage Yellow Realm can't enter? Is this a rule set by the six sects? A rule set by ants? "Ye Chen smiled disdainfully," Since when were the rules set by ants in this world? "
Survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest. Only a true powerhouse, a powerhouse who was above all other powers, could be the one who set the rules! This was an unchangeable fact!
Ye Chen's casual words were accompanied by an invisible pressure. The surrounding space was filled with an invisible force, and a cold aura enveloped the entire cruise ship. Everyone felt as if there was a heavy mountain pressing on their chests. At the same time, everyone felt their bodies involuntarily turn cold. It was as if they were in the depths of hell.
Deep in their hearts, they were telling them that they could not afford to offend this person.
"The Secret Realm will open again when the time is up. I don't care who you want to let in, but if you dare to kill those three people, I will make your sect disappear from this world!" Echoes resounded on the surface of the sea.
When everyone raised their heads again, they found that the black-clothed man in front of them had disappeared. They looked around, but all they saw was seawater.
....
At the seaside of Shanghai.
In the cold night sky, half of the moon hung in the sky. The stars were twinkling. The earth was already asleep. Apart from the gentle breeze blowing on the surface of the sea, the moonlit night by the seaside was beautiful and serene. Only the sound of the waves could be heard. The gentle breeze caressed one's face, making one feel relaxed and happy.
In the night sky, the moon was dim and the stars were sparse. Ye Chen walked alone by the sea under the moonlight and the night sky. The gentle sea breeze blew Ye Chen's clothes. Under the gentle breeze, the corners of Ye Chen's clothes swayed with the wind.
At this moment, he had already shed the dissolute and uneasy feeling of the day. He had become a person who had experienced the vicissitudes of life. Ye Chen looked up at the starry sky at a forty-five degree angle. The stars in the sky were twinkling like countless silver pearls embedded in the dark night sky.
At the same time.
"Bastard, where is he?! He disappeared after dinner. Where did that damned bastard go to fool around?! "Ling Mengxi cursed with a flashlight in her hand.
She wanted to talk to Ye Chen after dinner, but she found that Ye Chen had already left. She thought that he had returned to the hotel, so she went to the hotel to look for Ye Chen. However, she did not even see a shadow of him. Hence, she searched all the possible places that Ye Chen could have gone. She did not even see a strand of hair on Ye Chen, let alone him. When she called, she realized that as his wife, she did not have Ye Chen's phone number.
Suddenly, Ling Mengxi, who was worrying about where Ye Chen had gone, saw a familiar back.
That back was facing her. His hands were behind his back, and he was looking up at the starry sky alone. All that was left was a sad back view.
Why was it him? Why was he here? Ling Mengxi walked up behind that person in her three-inch high heels. "You … Why are you here?"
She thought that she would never meet the man in black again in this lifetime. However, she did not expect to meet the man in black who had saved her that day when she was looking for Ye Chen.
Ye Chen was not surprised by Ling Mengxi's arrival. He just looked calm and found an excuse. Then, he said in a low voice, "I was just passing by. I had something to do."
"Can you tell me your name, where you're from, and what you've been through in the past? Why did you save me? "
Her idea was very simple. She wanted to know immediately what kind of unknown life experience this man had gone through and why he saved her that day. At the same time, looking at the back of the person in front of her, Ling Mengxi felt that this was a man with a story and mystery. Therefore, she could not help but want to ask.
"Have a seat." Ye Chen sighed.
Ling Mengxi followed Ye Chen to a clean reef and sat down. "You can start."
"Let me tell you a story. In the capital of Hua Xia, there was a family. That family was very powerful. They had a strong foundation in business, politics, and the military. One winter twenty-three years ago, the current head of the family welcomed a happy day. The old man held his first grandson.
Later, a month after the child was born, he could speak and call for his mother … Three months later, he could walk on his own … Four months later, he had a terrifying memory.
The child's performance made his family feel that he was a genius bestowed upon their family by the heavens. Because the family had always had a single heir, and because of the child's incredible performance, the old man naturally doted on the child. As for the child's parents, they treated the child as their most precious treasure. They even said that if anyone dared to hurt their child, they would fight to the death with that person. Therefore, the child lived in an incomparably happy family. His family even found a marriage for the child at an early age.
That child could be said to be the epitome of love and affection. However, the good times did not last long. The gears of fate began to turn. When the child was three years old, the child's grandfather and parents found a strange person for the child, saying that it was to test the child's aptitude … "Ye Chen paused.
Ling Mengxi was engrossed in listening, but Ye Chen did not continue, so she urged, "What happened to the child later?"
"The child's performance made everyone present think that he was a genius, but the test results were the opposite. He was not a genius, but an ordinary person."
"He could speak a month after birth, and walk two months after birth … Is that child really an ordinary person?" Ling Mengxi was puzzled.
Ye Chen ignored Ling Mengxi and continued, "That child originally lived a happy life, but because of that test, his family ignored the child. They even beat him from time to time, scolded him, and vented their anger on him.
Originally, he had his own private room, but in the end, his private room became an underground warehouse.
And so, just like that, day after day, year after year, the bright child who was originally full of laughter and laughter became silent because he stayed in the dark underground warehouse for a long time. Time made him forget how to smile, and the cruel reality made him numb to his loved ones.
Fifteen years passed, and that child lived in that dark underground warehouse for fifteen years. He did not know how he survived those fifteen years of spring, summer, autumn, and winter. He only knew that he was very lonely … Later, because of a dispute over benefits and desires, he became a sacrifice and was framed. Therefore, that child was ruthlessly expelled from his family, and became an orphan … While he was expelled from his family, he was targeted by his family's rivals. In the end, that child died, and his body was thrown into a river, "Ye Chen told a simple story.
"Did the child really die in the end?"
"Did that powerful family have no descendants just like that?" Ling Mengxi asked.
"No, that old man asked the child's parents to give birth to another child. The second child also went through the test, and the result was that the second child was a peerless genius that only appears once in a thousand years. Due to the difference between the two children, the child's mother also had a different evaluation of her two children. The first child was her life's biggest failure, and the second child was her most successful and most outstanding work, "Ye Chen's sad and low voice reminded Ling Mengxi of the past.
