Chapter 138: Three Questions
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
However, Luo Yuntian did not erase certain people’s memories.
One was Ye Lingtian.
The other was Wu Xiangming.
Ye Chen had requested that Ye Lingtian retain his memories. After all, the latter was his subordinate.
As for Wu Xiangming, this was Luo Yuntian’s own decision.
“Why didn’t you erase Wu Xiangming’s memory as well?” Ye Chen asked curiously.
“You’ll find out later,” Luo Yuntian said knowingly.
The light gradually dissipated, and everyone’s eyes looked full and glazed over.
Ye Lingtian naturally noticed that something was wrong when he looked around and realized that everyone’s expression was almost the same.
“Is this Hall Master’s doing as well?”
Ye Lingtian looked at Ye Chen and saw the latter taking a step forward to approach Wu Xiangming.
Wu Xiangming wanted to speak with Wang Zhixin, but he found that Wang Zhixin’s eyes were dull and empty.
“Grandmaster Wang?”
No one responded to him.
“Grandmaster Wang, wake up!” Wu Xiangming continued.
At this moment, Ye Chen had already arrived in front of him. He glanced at Wu Xiangming indifferently and said, “You won’t be able to wake him up.”
“I’ve sealed the memories of everyone here. After a minute, when they come back to their senses, everything that happened just now will disappear from their minds. In other words, I’ve erased part of their memories.”
Wu Xiangming was startled and subconsciously took a step back.
How was this possible?
There was actually a method to erase memories in this world?
This could no longer be explained by ancient martial arts!
This was the stuff of myths and legends!
Suddenly, he thought of something and asked in a trembling voice, “Then…
Why didn’t you erase my memories?”
“Because you are more valuable than anyone else here.”
Wu Xiangming was startled and instantly understood. A trace of relief appeared on his aged face. “What do you want me to do?”
In front of such a peerless expert, he had no way to resist!
“As my servant, your loyalty to me will be even greater than to the family behind you, “Ye Chen said calmly, “Of course, you have another choice. I can erase your memories too.”
When Wu Xiangming heard this, a chill ran down his spine.
Even if he trained for another hundred years, it was impossible for him to encounter something like what had happened today. If he chose to have his memories erased, he would lose a valuable opportunity to become stronger and to see a completely different world from what he knew.
More importantly, Ye Chen was the strongest person he had ever met in his life, so becoming Ye Chen’s servant was actually an opportunity!
After thinking through everything, Wu Xiangming’s eyes revealed a trace of determination. He knelt in front of Ye Chen.
“I, Wu Xiangming, am willing to be Grandmaster Ye’s servant!”
Ye Chen nodded. He formed a hand seal with his fingers, and a drop of his blood essence shot into Wu Xiangming’s forehead.
“I have already injected my blood essence into your mind. If you betray me, you will die together with me!”
Wu Xiangming’s body trembled. He had never envisioned that something like this would be possible, and hurriedly said, “I would never dare!”
Ye Chen then walked off the platform as Luo Yuntian returned control of his body to him, saying, “I still have some time. Find a quiet place, and I will complete my final mission.”
One minute was up, and everyone woke up with blank expressions.
“What’s going on? Why do 1 feel a little dizzy?”
“Me too. By the way, where’s Ye Chen?”
“How did Ye Chen kill Elder Yuan just now? Eh, why don’t I remember anything?”
“It seems that Elder Yuan’s body exploded because he overdrafted his power.”
“That’s true. I vaguely remember that as well.”
“That’s not right. Ye Chen used a secret technique to kill Elder Yuan…”
“No matter what, in this battle, the three top-notch grandmasters died because of Ye Chen! The Ye family is destined to rise up again!”
“Not only that, I reckon that no one in River City will dare to touch the Heavenly Justice Group anymore. Also, we can’t call him Ye Chen anymore. It’s Grandmaster Ye now!”
“Right, right, right. Where did Grandmaster Ye go after killing those three grandmasters?”
Everyone then realized that Ye Chen had disappeared.
At this moment, Wang Zhixin also woke up. He frowned and muttered, “Why does it feel like there’s a gap in my memories? There are some things that I can’t recall no matter how I rack my brains.”
Wu Xiangming watched all of this unfold with a serious expression. He looked in the direction where Ye Chen had gone with a contemplative look on his face.
“Master’s appearance will probably cause a bloody storm in Jiangnan Province and Huaxia. The stagnant situation of the martial arts world is about to change.”
On the top floor of the Tomson Condominiums.
Ye Chen had arrived at his secret room. However, before he could say anything, a shadow appeared in front of him.
It was the sect master of the Fiendish Fist Sect, Luo Yuntian!
The expert who had emerged from the first tombstone of the Samsara Graveyard!
Luo Yuntian placed his hands behind his back as his aura swept out.
“I know you have a lot of questions, but I don’t want to spend too much of my limited time answering you. You can only ask three questions,” Luo Yuntian said lightly.
Ye Chen thought for a moment and said, “First question. Why were you trapped in the tombstone and why are you helping me?”
Luo Yuntian looked at Ye Chen meaningfully and said, “That’s two questions. First, we are not trapped in the tombstones, but in the Samsara Graveyard. The stone in your hand just happens to hold the Samsara Graveyard.”
“Secondly, the Samsara Graveyard has chosen you as its master, and we are here to help you clear away obstacles and help you become an immortal expert. You can ask one last question.”
At this moment, Ye Chen was deep in thought.
Although he wanted to ask about the origins of the Samsara Graveyard, what could he even do with that information?
This was clearly some sort of treasure from the ancient era.
Ye Chen pondered for a few seconds before asking his third question.”How do I activate the remaining ninety-nine tombstones?”
Luo Yuntian explained, “There are only two ways. First, you need sufficient strength. As long as the expert within that tombstone feels that you are qualified, it will naturally activate. Secondly, you can do something that will make them acknowledge you.”
“I can tell you one more thing. You might think that I’m very strong, but among these 100 experts, I’m the weakest.”
Ye Chen was stunned, and his heart was in turmoil!
Such a terrifying expert was actually the weakest? Could it be that the remaining ancient mighty experts were people who could tear space apart and destroy the stars?
Ye Chen suddenly thought of the Kunlun Mountains, which were located in the depths of Huaxia.
He had only stayed there for five years, yet he had managed to reach his current level.
What if there were other places similar to the Kunlun Mountains elsewhere in the world? How terrifying would those places be?
