Thud, thud, thud!
On the busy street, an old man's legs were moving rapidly. He ran on the street with all his might, attracting the attention of the passersby.
Murong Kui turned his head as he ran. Shock and fear filled his face. "How can this brat be so powerful? I was too careless. I was too careless."
He broke out in cold sweat as soon as he recalled how Ye Chen pierced the sharp-nosed old man's body with a punch. "This brat might be a Martial Dao master. I must tell Young Master Murong when I get back."
…
At the Murong residence.
Murong Yang and Yao Bingyue from the Spiritual Medicine Mountain sat opposite each other. There was a chess game before them.
Yao Bingyue looked at the chess game with a white chess piece in her hand. She said, "The person you sent out isn't back yet?"
Thud!
Murong Yang placed a chess piece and said without even lifting his head, "Don't worry. Uncle Kui is a peak-stage Illuminating Pulse expert. It's a piece of cake for him to deal with that brat. I'm worried that someone will go against the Murong family."
"Your Murong family has made a fortune this time."
Yao Bingyue placed a chess piece and said while smiling, "I suspect that brat has the medicinal formula. If we capture him and get the formula, I hope that the Murong family can make a copy for the Spiritual Medicine Mountain. We're willing to give the Murong family five 1,000-year-old herbs."
"Sure, sure!"
Murong Yang laughed out loud upon hearing that.
Yao Bingyue smiled sweetly, but coldness filled her eyes.
'Ye, don't blame me!
Blame yourself for having something that you shouldn't have! '
At that moment, a commotion came from outside. Murong Yang smiled immediately. "Uncle Kui must be back!"
Murong Kui was carried in by a few hunks.
Murong Kui was carried in by a few burly men. His head was covered with sweat, and he looked very miserable.
Murong Yang's expression turned grim. "Uncle Kui? Where's that brat? "
"Young Master, that brat is … is …"
Murong Yang was going to speak while panting. However, he realized an intense pain coming from his heart before he was done speaking. It was as if a knife was slicing through his heart.
"Ahh!
It hurts!
"My heart hurts!"
He fell onto the ground while holding his chest while shrieking. He extended his arm to Murong Yang in pain. "Young Master, h-help me!"
Before he could finish his words, his hand dropped down heavily and there was no more movement.
Everyone in the room was terrified.
A burly man walked over and placed his hand under Murong Kui's nose to check his breathing. His hand trembled as he said, "Young master, Kui … Master Kui is dead!"
Murong Yang's expression changed drastically.
Yao Bingyue inhaled sharply and said, "Killing from a distance. T-that's a Spell Master's technique. Murong Yang, we've underestimated that guy!"
"That lad is also a Spell Master?"
Murong Yang's expression turned grave.
"Not bad!"
Yao Bingyue nodded heavily. "That kid must be a Spell Master. Otherwise, he wouldn't have pills. I'm guessing he's a Dao Entry Spell Master."
"What do we do now?"
Murong Yang's face twitched hard.
Spell Masters!
There were very few of them in this world. Their techniques were no weaker than those of ancient martial art practitioners, especially the Spell Masters who had entered the path. They could already control magical artifacts and perform some spells.
Although the Murong clan was the overlord of Gan Province, they did not have many Spell Masters, let alone Dao Initiation Realm Spell Masters.
"Don't worry too much!"
Yao Bingyue shook her head and said while smiling, "Don't forget that you're a Spell Master too, and you're on Dao Entry. Your clan's Old Master Murong He is an Illuminating God expert."
"That's right!"
Murong Yang could not help but release a sigh of relief upon hearing that. He smiled calmly. "I admit that I've misjudged that brat. However, so what if he's on Dao Entry? My clan isn't afraid of him either. "
He was also a Spell Master!
…
At Murong Xue's house.
Yu Shasha looked at Murong Xue, who was blocking the door, rather angrily. "Sister Xue, why did you drag me away? Ye Chen and the rest …"
"Don't mention them to me!"
Murong Xue cut her off. "Are you stupid? There are so many people here. We can't even protect ourselves if we continue to stay here. "
"But Ye Chen …"
Yu Shasha's eyes turned red.
"But what? Do you know what my clan's position is in Gan Province? Ye Chen can't fight back at all before them. "
Murong Xue sighed. "Silly girl, what's your relationship with Ye Chen? What's our relationship? We're not related to each other. To put it bluntly, we're not even friends. Why are you so worried? "
…
On the barbecue boat.
Ye Chen scoffed after sensing the spiritual power whirlpool that he left in Murong Kui's body exploding. He then looked at Zhou Hong who was begging for mercy with a cold gaze. "Wushuang, kill them all.
Don't leave anyone alive! "
Devastating shrieks filled the place!
Ye Chen then walked to Su Yuhan and his daughter. He stretched his arm out and hugged her softly. "I'm sorry. I hope I didn't scare you?"
"Ye Chen, who are they? Why are they killing you? "Su Yuhan said while her pretty face turned pale.
Although it was not her first time seeing Ye Chen kill someone, she could not accept it each time.
Ye Chen comforted her, "They're a bunch of arrogant trash. Don't worry. I'll deal with them."
"Why don't … we leave? I don't want to stay here anymore!" Su Yuhan said worriedly.
Ye Chen nodded and agreed to it right away. "Sure, we'll leave the day after tomorrow. But before that, I have to collect my debt!"
…
The next afternoon, Ye Chen went to the Medicinal Pill Exchange at the Murong clan's ancestral residence again. There were up to a hundred more people than before.
Many people who had seen him before were shocked as soon as Ye Chen appeared. Clearly, they did not expect him to be alive and to have the guts to come.
These people had no idea what happened last night at all, let alone that more than ten people had vanished from this world.
Ye Chen looked calm as he faced the people's stare. After finding a place to sit down, he secretly searched for Yao Bingyue.
"Ye Chen?"
A voice that was filled with disbelief came.
Ye Chen lifted his head to look and realized that Murong Xue and Yu Shasha were standing far away. They were looking at him with their mouths agape while Yu Shasha still looked guilty.
"Y-you're not dead?" Murong Xue walked over quickly, looking shocked.
Ye Chen glanced at her expressionlessly and said, "Why? Do you want me to die?"
"What do you mean?"
Murong Xue was a little upset.
Initially, she blamed herself for abandoning Ye Chen yesterday. However, she was upset when she heard Ye Chen's harsh words.
"Alright, Sister Xue, stop talking."
Yu Shasha pulled her sleeve and lifted her head to look at Ye Chen. She felt rather guilty. "Ye Chen, s-sorry. We …"
"Don't worry about it!"
Ye Chen's expression eased.
He had nothing against Yu Shasha. The girl was innocent and soft-hearted. They had just met, but she treated him with sincerity.
Murong Xue scoffed while standing aside when she noticed that Ye Chen's attitude toward Yu Shasha was completely different from hers.
'Are you blaming me for not caring about you? You're the one who stirred up trouble. What does that have to do with me? '
At that moment, a commotion came from the lobby.
Subsequently, Murong Yang walked over from the end of the lobby and walked toward Ye Chen one step after another.
Yu Shasha's expression changed.
Yu Shasha's expression changed instantly. She recognized Murong Yang and thought he was looking for trouble with Ye Chen.
Murong Xue pulled Yu Shasha aside immediately. She was afraid that they would be implicated by Ye Chen.
However, Murong Yang smiled warmly when he walked to Ye Chen. "Brother Ye, can we have a chat?"
At that moment, everyone was stunned.
Yu Shasha was stunned.
Murong Xue was stunned too. She did not expect Murong Yang to be so polite to Ye Chen.
One must know that Murong Yang was the eldest young master of the Murong clan. On top of that, he was favored by the Old Master Murong He.
Murong Yang looked at Ye Chen in an extremely friendly manner. The smile on his face was extremely sincere.
To him, although Ye Chen was a Spell Master, he, the eldest young master of the Murong clan, had taken the initiative to invite him.
He would not reject it!
He dared not reject it!
However, Ye Chen said without even lifting his head.
"I'm busy!"
