Chapter 153: Plot!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Under Ye Chen’s supervision, Elder Zhao made a Heavenly Dao oath.
Ye Chen would also sense the process of making the Heavenly Dao oath, so this kind of thing could not be faked.
Just like Bai Luoli and Shangguan Xueyan, after they made the Heavenly Dao oath, they could only follow Ye Chen’s orders. Ye Chen did not particularly dislike this Elder Zhao.
To be more precise, he should be tactful.
Therefore, Ye Chen did not mind having one more servant.
Moreover, Elder Zhao was right about one thing. It was better to have one more helper in the Transcending Tribulation Realm to kill him.
After Elder Zhao swore the Heavenly Dao oath, the Heavenly Dao oath immediately had an effect on him. Even if he had the slightest intention of rebelling, he would be punished by the Heavenly Dao.
That kind of punishment was even more powerful than the lightning tribulation of becoming an immortal!
No one could go against the Heavenly Dao oath that they had made.
This world was just so cruel. Those who were weak, once they made the Heavenly Dao path, would be shackled and imprisoned for the rest of their lives.
This was also the reason why Ye Chen wanted to become stronger.
Only by becoming stronger would they not be imprisoned. Only then would they be able to live freely in this world.
Ye Chen looked at Elder Zhao and said indifferently, “Alright, since you’ve already become my servant, then I’ll ask you for a favor!”
“I wonder…what…what does master want me to do?” Elder Zhao was a little tongue-tied when he first called him master.
“Help me kill the Grandmaster of the Hundred Herb Hall!” Ye Chen said indifferently.
Ye Chen knew that Elder Zhao was only at the intermediate stage of the Transcending Tribulation Realm, and he could still subdue him.
As for experts like the Grandmaster of the Hundred Herb Hall, he was at the peak of the Transcending Tribulation Realm and was only one step away from becoming an immortal. Such a person had a pride in his bones, and no matter what, Ye Chen could not subdue him.
Since he could not subdue him, and he had formed a grudge against him.
Then he could only kill him.
Now, the Grandmaster definitely did not know that Elder Zhao had already become his servant.
As long as he and Elder Zhao joined hands to plot against that Hundred Herb Hall’s Grandmaster, Ye Chen would have a 100% chance of killing him.
Ye Chen was a cautious person because he understood that only by being careful could he live longer.
Although he himself was not weak, it would not be a problem to be careful.
Ye Chen did not care whether his methods were aboveboard or not.
Winner takes all.
Regardless of whether it was a plot to poison him, as long as he could achieve his goal, he would do it within Ye Chen’s bottom line.
“The Hundred Herb Hall’s Grandmaster is powerful. I wonder how master will kill him?” Elder Zhao hurriedly asked.
“Poison!” Ye Chen said indifferently.
“Poison? That Grandmaster is also a peak Tier Nine Alchemist. His body has long been resistant to medicine. Ordinary poison can not kill him!” Elder Zhao hurriedly said.
Ye Chen smiled and said, “I know that poison can not kill him. However, as long as it can affect his condition, it will be fine. Moreover, the poison I used is also not an ordinary poison!”
Ye Che took out a bottle of poison from his storage space.
This was the poison he had signed in and obtained.
It was the poison of the great demon heaven swallowing python.
Although Ye Chen did not know what this heaven swallowing python was, he knew that this kind of poison could be poisoned to death even by a Transcending Tribulation Realm expert.
Even if that Grandmaster tasted a hundred herbs and became resistant to the poison.
However, even if this kind of poison could not kill him, it would still have a certain effect.
When the time came, he would make a move and have a 100% chance of killing him.
If he did not use the poison, his chances of winning would drop to 70-80% .
Although he also had the advantage, Ye Chen preferred to have complete control and not make a single mistake.
“Right now, he still doesn’t suspect you. Take the poison and approach him. Take the opportunity to poison him. Even if you can’t kill him, leave the rest to me. I’ll kill him.”.
“Right, the red one is the antidote.” Ye Chen threw a red elixir to Elder Zhao.
Looking at Ye Chen’s confident smile, Elder Zhao had mixed feelings.
Right now, he hoped that master could successfully kill the Grandmaster of the Hundred Herb Hall.
Otherwise, if he were to switch sides, he would similarly die.
Elder Zhao swallowed the elixir and walked toward the Hundred Herb Hall.
Ye Chen also concealed his aura and followed behind Elder Zhao.
…
City Lord’s estate.
The shadow guard landed in front of the City Lord.
“Reporting to City Lord, last night the Zhang family was exterminated. It should be that Ye Gu Cheng!”
After the City Lord heard this, his heart was immediately shocked as he stood up.
“Is that really the case?”
“Yes!” The guard immediately replied.
“I didn’t expect that not only did Ye Gu Cheng not escape, he even killed his way back. He does indeed have some bearing. Since he exterminated the Zhang family, it also means that he has the means to deal with the Alchemist Guild and the Hundred Herb Hall!” The City Lord immediately analyzed.
“However, the Hundred Herb Hall has a Grandmaster at the peak of the Transcending Tribulation Realm, I’m afraid…”
At this moment, the City Lord smiled and said, “This Ye Gu Cheng is not a simple person. Since he dares to return, it means that he has the confidence to win.”
“City Lord, why do you think so highly of this Ye Gu Cheng?” The guard was somewhat puzzled as he asked.
The City Lord smiled faintly and said, “I don’t know, but this Ye Gu Cheng gives me a different feeling. I keep feeling that he is very special.”
“If he is able to eradicate the hundred Herb Hall this time, I am willing to make this friend of mine.”
“Pass down the order. Order those old fellows who have lived for half their lives in the city not to act rashly. Whoever dares to make a move will become my City Lord’s estate’s enemy!”
“Yes!” The shadow guard immediately disappeared in front of the City Lord.
The City Lord sat and muttered, “Ye Gu Cheng?”
