Chapter 257: State Your Purpose
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After Ling Fei finished speaking, she became somewhat astonished. There were dozens of corpses on the ground. Who could have killed them?
Moreover, there were all gruesome blood holes on their heads, appearing to be fatal blows. This was undoubtedly the work of a formidable individual.
The people from the Sky Eagle Base were currently outside the iron cage. They had undoubtedly been rescued by someone.
Ling Fei suddenly looked at Ye Li. Although she couldn’t discern Ye Li’s level of cultivation, her intuition told her that Ye Li was not an ordinary person.
She thought that Ye Li might be suppressing her own cultivation. It was no secret that the Fire-worshiping Sect captured ordinary people on the north of the Wilderness Northern Region.
Could they have caught the wrong person?
“Are you from the Sky Eagle Base?” Ling Fei asked Ye Li.
“No.” Ye Li shook his head.
“Then did you kill these people?” Ling Fei inquired.
Ye Li thought for a moment and then said, “I merely moved my finger, and then they died. I didn’t intend to kill them.”
Upon hearing this, Ling Fei understood.
Dozens of corpses on the ground couldn’t possibly be the work of the young man before her. Achieving such a single-strike kill was impossible for someone as young as him.
Furthermore, the way he spoke was so arrogant, and he wasn’t from the Sky Eagle Base. So why was he hiding among these ordinary people?
Ling Fei, as the captain of the Sky Eagle Base’s security team, felt it was necessary to clarify.
“What’s your name?” Ling Fei stared at Ye Li and asked.
“Ye Li.” Ye Li spoke slowly.
Ling Fei was momentarily stunned. The name sounded familiar, like she had heard it recently, but she couldn’t remember where.
“If I guess correctly, you’re a genetic warrior, right?” Ling Fei looked at Ye Li with hostility.
“Hehe.” A hint of a smile appeared on Ye Li’s face.
“What are you laughing at?”
Ling Fei was puzzled. She didn’t understand why Ye Li was smiling at this moment.
“Look at the corpses on the ground. If I, Ye Li, weren’t a genetic warrior, how do you think they would have died?” Ye Li said calmly.
Arrogant, absolutely arrogant!
Although Ling Fei couldn’t figure out where Ye Li’s arrogance came from, she felt that he was indeed arrogant.
She couldn’t believe that these people were killed by Ye Li just because he was at most a second-tier Evolved Being. He was merely suppressing his real realm, so she couldn’t discern it.
For a moment, a hint of disgust welled up in Ling Fei’s heart. She had always detested people who were arrogant and full of themselves yet lacked the skills to back it up.
“You just said you’re not from the Sky Eagle Base. Why are you here?” Ling Fei finally got to the point.
Dozens of members of the Sky Eagle Base’s security team also looked at Ye Li, wanting to hear his response.
“Because there were dogs barking outside,” Ye Li said slowly.
When this statement was made, Ling Fei and the dozen or so security team members were left dumbfounded. They couldn’t fathom the connection between dogs barking outside and his appearance here.
“What does dogs barking outside have anything to do with your presence here?” Ling Fei asked Ye Li.
Ye Li smiled faintly, and after a few seconds, he spoke slowly, “Then what does my presence here have anything to do with you?”
Ling Fei’s expression instantly turned cold as she spoke in a cold tone, “Are you playing with me?”
A hint of playful intent appeared on Ye Li’s face, “Are you fun to play with?”
Ling Fei and the dozen or so security team members were all infuriated. They stared intently at Ye Li.
“I’ll give you one more chance to state your purpose, or you’ll face the consequences,” Ling Fei said coldly..
