Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ten minutes later, Ye Chen arrived at the abandoned factory.
When he arrived, his expression froze.
This was because the formation here had been destroyed. Just like the Ye family, there were traces of fighting.
“The remnant auras indicate that there was a Supreme Emperor realm expert here. How is this possible? A Supreme Emperor realm expert actually came to Huaxia?”
Suddenly, Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed as he sensed something. He went over to a wall where there were red blood stains.
The blood stains had been there for about a day.
He reached out his hand to wipe it, and the coldness in his eyes intensified.
“This is Ji Siqing’s blood. It seems that Ji Siqing is also injured.”
“Ji Siqing has only just reached the Supreme Emperor realm, so if she fought a higher-level expert, she would definitely have been at a disadvantage.”
“It seems that things are far more complicated than I thought.”
Ye Chen wanted to use his technique to continue searching for Ji Siqing and Xia Ruoxue’s whereabouts, but he realized that it was useless. The technique pointed him back toward this abandoned factory.
“It seems like that expert erased everything.”
Ye Chen frowned. This was the first time he felt powerless.
Although he was strong in the Body Refining Land, he did not know how to proceed to find his loved ones.
“What should I do?”
While Ye Chen was deep in thought, a weak voice was heard.
“Hall Master…”
Ye Chen was stunned. He turned around abruptly and noticed a man who was on the verge of death in the distance.
It was difficult to detect this man among the many corpses.
Ye Chen quickly stepped forward and helped the man up. When he saw the man’s face, the anger in Ye Chen’s heart grew stronger.
Lu Lingfeng, the Guardian of the Dark Hall!
Lu Lingfeng and Ye Lingtian were his right-hand men, and it seemed that Lu Lingfeng was clinging onto life by sheer willpower alone.
Ye Chen suppressed his anger and took out a pill from the Samsara Graveyard and fed it to Lu Lingfeng.
At the same time, Ye Chen took out dozens of silver needles and guided the true qi in his body into them as he embedded them into Lu Lingfeng’s body.
Soon, Lu Lingfeng gradually woke up. When he confirmed that the young man before him was Ye Chen, Lu Lingfeng’s eyes were filled with tears and guilt!
“Hall Master, Lingfeng has let you down! Lingfeng is willing to die as atonement!”
Ye Chen shook his head. “You don’t need to feel guilty about what happened. Tell me what happened while I was in the Kunlun Mountains!”
“Also, where did Xia Ruoxue go? Weren’t you supposed to protect her?”
Lu Lingfeng stood up and looked around. He clenched his fists and explained, “Hall Master, not long ago, a group of people came from the Kunlun Mountains. Those people are extremely powerful, and even the Dark Hall and the guardians were no match for them. They suppressed countless experts with a wave of their hands. It was like a nightmare!”
“I knew that the Ye family’s residence could no longer be defended, so I brought Miss Xia here to hide. I thought that we could at least hold on until you returned, but I didn’t expect that those experts would use some unknown method to find this place!”
“However, just as Xia Ruoxue and I were about to meet our doom, a mysterious young lady appeared and fought against many experts by herself! She even killed many experts!”
When Ye Chen heard this, he knew that this mysterious lady was Ji Siqing.
“What happened after that?”
Lu Lingfeng glanced at Ye Chen cautiously and continued, “It’s a pity that although the mysterious girl was strong, those despicable people attacked Miss Xia. In order to prevent Miss Xia from getting hurt, the mysterious lady suffered serious injuries!”
“After that, the mysterious lady barely managed to take Miss Xia away in her sorry state. The remaining experts also chased after her. I could only remain here because of my serious injuries!”
Ye Chen’s eyes were filled with burning rage.
There were only two outcomes now.
Either Ji Siqing had brought Xia Ruoxue to a safe place, or the pair had been captured by this group of people!
“Lingfeng, do you know where these people came from? Did they have any identifying features?”
Ye Chen had to use this opportunity to search for clues!
Lu Lingfeng frowned and pondered for a moment. Suddenly, he thought of something. He looked up at Ye Chen and said, “Hall Master, those people called one of their leaders Lord Ye. Because it was the same surname as yours, I took note of it.”
“Ye?”
When Ye Chen heard this surname and the fact that there was one or more Supreme Emperor realm experts here, there was only one answer.
The Ye family of the Kunlun Mountains!
He had a great grudge with the Ye family of the Kunlun Mountains!
Back then, his grandfather was killed by Ye Fudong, the current head of the Kunlun Mountains’ Ye family!
Had it not been for the more pressing matter of the Blood Spirit Clan, he would have attacked them a long time ago!
Could it be that the Ye family of the Kunlun Mountains was behind all of this?
Ye Chen no longer hesitated. He took out a pile of pills and handed it to Lu Lingfeng. “Take these. I’m going to the Kunlun Mountains. I’ll leave Huaxia’s matters to you. When I find Xia Ruoxue, I’ll come back.”
Before Lu Lingfeng could react, Ye Chen had completely disappeared.
…
Kunlun Mountains, Sky High Mountains, in the Ye family’s territory.
Many members of the Ye family were having an emergency discussion.
Ye Fudong, the head of the Ye Family, and dozens of Supreme Emperor elders sat around the round table. “The Kunlun Mountains have not been peaceful recently. How’s the situation?”
“This time, although the Huang family has taken the lead, our Ye family has also contributed a lot!”
“More than twenty of the Ye family’s guardian elders have been dispatched. It’s time to discuss the situation!”
“As for Ye Shitian, that b*stard has disappeared recently, so the Huang Family can’t find him.” Ye Fudong paused for a moment and said, “Oh right, although we can’t find Ye Shitian, we had a breakthrough regarding his junior brother, Ye Chen. He is from Huaxia. I sent an elder to Huaxia. How’s the situation?”
One of the elders stood up and said respectfully, “Master, there’s news from Huaxia. The Ye family has disappeared and Ye Chen’s Dark Hall is almost destroyed. We also learned that Ye Chen has a close female friend in Huaxia. “If we can bring her back, it won’t be difficult to lure Ye Chen and Ye Shitian into a trap to save her!”
Ye Fudong glanced at the elder. Although he felt that this was despicable, this was a critical period, so every method was feasible.
“In that case, can you bring that girl back here?” he asked curiously.
“We were about to succeed,” the old man said slowly, “but for some reason, Ji Siqing, one of the top ten geniuses of the Kunlun Mountains, suddenly appeared!”
“Back then, that good-for-nothing Ye Chen was living under Ji Siqing’s protection, but unexpectedly, she’s even protecting the people around him!”
“I really don’t understand her. With Ji Siqing’s talent, she could have chosen anyone else. Why him?”
