As soon as Ye Chen said that, the hall fell into a momentary silence.
The entire hall fell into a momentary silence. Everyone's eyes widened as they looked at the former in disbelief!
Even Liu Fei covered her red lips with her hand, thinking that she had heard wrongly!
To a country or a sect, money was nothing. The most important thing was the mystic stone vein!
That was because the vein could continuously produce heaven and earth origin energy, and it could even replenish the origin energy of cultivators!
The so-called spirit stones were the highest grade evolved from the purest mystic stones. They could be said to be even more precious than mystic stones.
That was because there were only dozens of spirit stones in a mystic stone vein!
Now that Ye Chen asked for half of the spirit stone vein, if it was not asking for an exorbitant price, what was it if it was not asking for an exorbitant price?
"Are you crazy?"
Hong Fei jumped out immediately and said while pointing at Ye Chen, "How dare you ask for half of the spirit stone vein?!"
Hong Taisui and the rest sneered. They were practically sentencing Ye Chen to death in their hearts!
King Langya's hand that was holding the cup froze instantly. A strong killing intent flashed through the depths of his deep eyes!
Ye Chen's words had really touched his reverse scale.
However, he was a shrewd person. He dispersed his killing intent in a few seconds and took a deep breath in, "Mr. Ye's request is indeed very high. I can't afford it!"
With that, he waved his hand, "Send the guest away!"
Subsequently, a guard walked over and said expressionlessly, "Please!"
"Father!"
Liu Fei stood up subconsciously and tried to plead for Ye Chen. However, King Langya remained unmoved as if he did not hear her.
"Leave now, brat!"
Hong Fei laughed out loud.
However, Ye Chen did not move at all. He said without even lifting his head, "King Langya, what if I say that you don't have much time left and only I can save your life?"
The moment that was said, the entire place fell silent!
Liu Fei turned around and looked at him in disbelief before closing her eyes in despair.
Crazy!
Mr. Ye was really crazy!
Father was only injured because there was a problem with his cultivation. Why did he say that he didn't have much time left?
"B * stard!"
At this moment, even Hong Taisui who hadn't spoken all along stood out and said in a cold voice, "Fellow Ye, you dare to curse His Highness? Are you really not afraid of death?"
"Take him down!"
Hong Fei wished to see the world in chaos.
Thud thud thud …
Almost at that moment, countless guards rushed in from outside the hall and surrounded Ye Chen!
What they did not notice was that the moment Ye Chen spoke, King Langya, who had his back to them, trembled slightly.
But he still did not turn around!
Ye Chen remained indifferent despite being surrounded by swords and sabers, "King Langya, if I'm not mistaken, your Langya Royal Residence is currently facing internal and external troubles, right?"
"You are the only spiritual pillar of the Wangfu and also the strongest. Think about it, if you die, your Wangfu will definitely collapse like a building!"
"Everything you protect will be implicated …"
"Enough!"
Before he could finish, King Langya suddenly turned around and flew into a rage, "Mr. Ye, you've offended me many times. You should be executed, but for my daughter's sake, scram!"
As soon as he said that, the surrounding guards surrounded him. Clearly, they wanted to take Ye Chen down!
"Forget it, forget it. I'll leave!"
Ye Chen smiled lightly and did not mind. He picked up a wine glass and stood up. He flashed past the countless guards and eventually disappeared from the hall.
Hong Fei panicked when he saw that, "Your Highness, this person is so rude. How can we let him leave so easily?"
"That's right!"
Hong Taisui also said, "I don't mind helping Your Highness get rid of this hidden danger."
"There's no need!"
King Langya waved his hand and interrupted, "The banquet continues. No one is allowed to leave without my order!"
Upon hearing this, Hong Taisui could only suppress the killing intent in his heart, while Liu Fei looked at King Langya gratefully.
The reason being, she knew that King Langya seemed to be heartless, but he was actually protecting Ye Chen. As long as Hong Taisui and the rest could not leave, Ye Chen would have a chance to escape.
The banquet was very long. Hong Taisui and the rest glanced at the drunken King Langya and asked to leave many times, but they were rejected.
It was not until late at night that King Langya announced the end of the banquet. Hong Taisui and the rest left the residence under the protection of the guards.
As soon as they left, King Langya, who was originally drunk, waved his hand to dismiss everyone, leaving only Liu Fei behind!
Blergh!
At that moment, King Langya could not help but spit a mouthful of black blood. His face quickly turned pale as he fell to the ground.
"Father, are you alright …"
Liu Fei turned pale and hurried forward!
"I've been poisoned!"
King Langya suddenly grabbed her hand tightly and said weakly, "Fei 'er, quick, get that Mr. Ye back!"
"What did you say?" Liu Fei was in disbelief.
"Fei 'er, I've been hiding this from you. I wasn't injured while cultivating. I was poisoned, and it's a rare poison!"
King Langya smiled bitterly, "I can only live for a month at most. That's why I didn't ask you to go to the ice plains to look for the Ice Jade Lotus because there's no cure!"
"Father, who poisoned me?" Liu Fei's face was ashen. She was shocked and furious!
"It's the Bright Sword Pavilion!"
King Langya spat another mouthful of black blood, "Silly child, ever since His Majesty passed away and the young master took over, many vassals have been restless!"
Liu Fei felt like she was struck by lightning!
The Bright Sword Pavilion!
That was the sect that her father trusted the most!
Hong Taisui and the rest were from the Bright Sword Pavilion!
"Including King Dai, King Chu, and King You, they've been plotting a rebellion. They're secretly recruiting troops and forging weapons! “
King Langya said intermittently, "Langya County is rich in iron ore. That's why they want to drag you into the rebellion with them!"
At this point, his eyes widened and his face flushed red, "I'm deeply indebted to the emperor. I'm also the young master's uncle. How can I do such a rebellious thing? I'd rather die than do it!"
"So, they poisoned you?" Liu Fei's heart was struck by lightning. She was extremely heartbroken!
"That Mr. Ye is right!"
King Langya panted heavily and said, "I'm not afraid of death, but I can't die. Once I die, Langya County will be finished. My dynasty will be finished too!"
"Father, since Senior Ye could tell that you were poisoned, why didn't you let him stay?" Liu Fei was confused.
"Silly child!"
King Langya smiled bitterly, "The Bright Sword Pavilion tried to harm me, and Hong Taisui and the rest were monitoring me. Now that Mr. Ye said that I'm dying in front of them, he's asking for trouble!"
"Buzz …"
At that moment, Liu Fei's mind went blank. Then, she became extremely clear-headed.
That's right!
Once father shows his intention to believe it!
Hong Taisui and the rest would probably attack on the spot!
Although they were few in number!
However, in such a huge mansion, who could guarantee that everyone was loyal? Who could guarantee that the other vassals' forces had not infiltrated!
"Father, just you wait. I'll go and invite Mr. Ye immediately. Forget half of the Spiritual Stone mine, I won't hesitate even if it's all of it!"
Liu Fei left quickly without saying a word!
