Chapter 1oo: Serious Situation!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Jin Lengyan received the call and arrived at the alley very quickly.
When she saw the three cold corpses, her face turned extremely pale.
She almost stopped breathing.
The one who had died here was none other than the third young master of the Jiang family!
This matter was too big, so big that the entire River City might experience an upheaval!
This would not be an ordinary upheaval either. A single person could not withstand it alone!
Jin Lengyan squatted down and examined the injuries on Jiang Wenlin’s corpse. She frowned.
The methods of the killer were too brutal. It was simply akin to torture. If the Jiang family found out about this, they would definitely be furious!
“Jin Qian, tell me everything that happened just now. Tell me every single detail. Don’t leave anything out!”
Jin Lengyan’s tone was extremely serious.
“Yes, miss! Just now, Mr. Ye came to this alley…”
When Jin Qian finished explaining everything, Jin Lengyan’s eyes were filled with unprecedented fear.
With just one hand and a few moves, he had killed two grandmasters from the Jiang family!
A single person had killed three martial arts experts like he was butchering chickens!
Such an impossible thing had actually taken place here.
Moreover, it had been accomplished by a young man in his twenties!
She did not know how Ye Chen had done it. She only knew that the consequences of this matter were unimaginable!
Without any further hesitation, she gave her father a call.
Since the matter had developed to this stage, it was not something she could make a decision on.
After hanging up the call, Jin Lengyan instructed Jin Qian, “Dispose of the bodies, and then someone with a clean background over to the Jiang family! When he comes back, erase all the evidence, including the person that was sent.”
Jin Qian was stunned. “Send someone over to the Jiang family? Doesn’t that mean that we’re laying our cards on the table…”
Jin Lengyan looked at the three corpses, and her gaze was extremely heavy. She muttered, “This is not something the Jin family can interfere with. If the Jiang family still manages to find out about Ye Chen, we can only stand by and watch. Ye Chen will have to bear the consequences of his own actions!”
“Yes, miss!”

Inside the cafe, Xia Ruoxue was mindlessly stirring her coffee out of boredom. When she saw Ye Chen reappear, she heaved a sigh of relief.
For some reason, she had been a little worried.
When Ye Chen reappeared in front of her, the worry in her heart was swept away. She said in a slightly angry tone, “Ye Chen, why are you taking longer and longer to use the toilet? It’s been ten minutes. Look, your coffee’s cold!”
Ye Chen smiled warmly, his demeanor was in complete contrast to the killing intent he exuded back inside the alley.
After that, he picked up the coffee on the table and finished it in one gulp.
Xia Ruoxue’s beautiful eyes widened at this sight.
She had been alive for so many years, yet this was the first time she had seen someone drink coffee like it was water.
Ye Chen put the cup down and grabbed Xia Ruoxue’s hand. He decided not to care about whether she was willing to hold hands or not.
After they walked out of the cafe, he hailed a taxi and said to the driver, “Mister, please take us to the Grand City apartment complex.”
He did not know if there were any other Jiang family members in this place, so it was better to leave as soon as possible.
While he was in the car, he sent a message to Ye Lingtian, asking him to dispatch more people to protect Xia Ruoxue and Sun Yi. He also asked Ye Lingtian to investigate the three major martial arts families in River City and the so-called grandmaster rankings.
He realized that the Jiang family was more troublesome than he had initially imagined.
This was because Huaxia’s ancient martial arts cultivation system had been incomplete since the early days.
It was divided into the external force and internal force realms, within which were the initial success, great success, and peak success stages, followed by the half-step transcendent realm, and the transcendent realm, which was also known as the grandmaster realm.
In summary, there were three major realms; external force, internal force, and transcendent. After these major realms, there were several smaller realms.
However, there were no further divisions after the transcendent realm. Those who reached this realm were simply collectively called grandmasters.
There were strong and weak grandmasters and, later on, someone established a ranking list of grandmasters in Huaxia to distinguish between the strength levels of strong and weak grandmasters.
This division of realms caused the strength of Huaxia’s ancient martial arts to stagnate.
Their system really was not as good as the realms he cultivated. The body tempering, soul opening, qi transformation, unity, true soul realms and so on. Furthermore, each realm was divided into nine levels!
This cultivation system was very clear and concise.
Ye Chen was currently at the fifth level of the soul opening realm, and had almost reached the sixth level.
According to the rankings of Huaxia’s grandmasters, it should be no problem for him to be ranked within the top 500, or even higher.
As such, he hoped that Jiang Yuanli would look for him. That way, he would be able to figure out how the entire grandmaster ranking measured strength levels.
Half an hour later, the two of them finally arrived at the Grand City apartment complex.
Sun Yi, who had already finished cooking, was a little surprised to see the two of them come back together, but she did not think much about it. She guessed that the two of them had probably met at the elevator.
While they were eating, Sun Yi suddenly thought of something and joked with Ye Chen, “Little Chen, our beauty Xia’s birthday is next week. Have you thought of what to give her to make her smile?”
Xia Ruoxue also looked at Ye Chen with anticipation.
Ye Chen picked up a spoonful of food and responded half-heartedly, “What gifts are there to give these days? I’ll just give her a red packet. It’s fine as long as my heart is in the right place.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Chen felt his foot being stepped on! He raised his head and saw that Xia Ruoxue’s eyes were practically shooting out sparks.
“I’m just joking, just joking. By the way, Sun Yi, what are you giving her…” Ye Chen quickly diverted the topic away from himself.
Sun Yi blinked her big eyes and said to Xia Ruoxue, “Hmm, a woman would naturally give another woman something suitable…”
Seeing that Sun Yi was also teasing her, Xia Ruoxue became embarrassed. She quickly put down her chopsticks and rushed toward Sun Yi.
“Sun Yi, I’ll take your size now.”
The two girls began to play around like this, which gave Ye Chen an eyeful and allowed him to enjoy the wonders of youth.
Not long after, Ye Chen’s phone rang. It was an unknown number. He frowned and answered the call.
“Mr. Ye, it’s Zixuan. I… I hope I’m not disturbing you. Can you … Can you save my grandfather? I really don’t have anyone else to turn to!”
Zhu Zixuan’s anxious voice could be heard from the other end of the line. She even started crying helplessly and desperately.
“What happened? Where are you now?”
Ye Chen had learned from many people at the auction that the Zhu family had encountered a problem, but he had not expected it to be this big.
He understood Zhu Zixuan’s personality. She would not call him unless it was absolutely necessary.
“Mr. Ye, I’m at the Zhu family villa, which is located at 211 Jiangning Road. My grandfather…”
Before Zhu Zixuan could finish her sentence, there was a loud noise and the call ended the next second.
Something had happened!
Ye Chen did not hesitate any longer. He quickly put on his coat and left after bidding the two girls goodbye.
At 211 Jiangning Road, the Zhe family’s villa was brightly lit.
Ye Chen alighted from the taxi and realized that the entire villa had been surrounded by a group of people.
An extremely heavy aura seemed to be seeping out from the villa.
There were a few cars parked outside.
The moment he got out of the car, more than a dozen auras locked onto him.
Ye Chen could even sense a firearm being aimed at him from the rooftop.
As long as he exhibited any unusual behavior, he would definitely be shot in the head.
What had happened here to the Zhu family? How could such a major force be involved?
From the looks of things, the situation had already reached an extremely serious state..
