Chapter 267: The Battle Begins!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The return of the Qin family this time would definitely change the situation and landscape of Jiangnan Province. Therefore, they rushed here in an effort to show their stance.
It was time to pick a side and place their bets!
As everyone watched expectantly, the plane came to a complete stop, and when the cabin door opened, an old man dressed in a long robe walked out.
The old man’s figure seemed quite slight but with every step he took, a powerful aura surged. After the old man emerged from the plane, Qin Kun and Qin Zhengyang followed behind him respectfully.
Everyone’s breathing quickened. They were afraid of offending the old man.
They naturally knew that this old man was the top-notch expert that the entire Qin family had traveled thousands of miles to seek assistance from. Anyone who warranted that level of respect and effort would definitely be terrifyingly strong!
The old man glanced at the crowd that had gathered and said to Qin Zhengyang, “Disciple, it seems that your Qin family is quite famous in Jiangnan Province. So many people have come to welcome you.”
Qin Zhengyang smiled and hurriedly said, “Master, you might have misunderstood. My Qin family doesn’t possess such influence. These people are all here to bask in your glory!”
“Bask in my glory?” The old man was a little surprised.
“How would the people of Jiangnan Province know me?”
“Master, you’ll find out later,” Qin Zhengyang said mysteriously.
“Oh right, Master, I’ve been told that someone codenamed Hunter has appeared in Jiangnan Province recently, who has wiped out two martial arts families in Jiangnan Province. His methods are extremely ruthless, which is why people are panicking in Jiangnan Province.”
“There’s such a thing?” The old man raised his eyebrows. “Why would this Hunter person go so far as to exterminate entire families? Such arrogant people generally did not live for long.”
Qin Zhengyang dodged the question and continued, “Master, what should we do if this Hunter kid attacks our Qin family?”
The old man stopped and snorted coldly. “Don’t worry. With me here, whoever that person is, he’ll die before he even reaches your doorstep.”
Hearing this reply, Qin Zhengyang was ecstatic. This was the reply he had been hoping for. During this period of time, he had heard bits and pieces of news about what happened in Jiangnan Province, so naturally he knew that Xuemei Palace had not killed Ye Chen.
The main cause for concern was that Ye Chen had grown too fast during the period while the Qin family was not around, to the point that even they were not confident in dealing with him.
Only with the help of his master could this matter be settled.
Once the group got off the plane, the heads of the martial arts families rushed up and took out precious gifts from their pockets to present to the old man.
“Grandmaster has graced our Jiangnan Province with your presence. This is a small token of my Fang family’s appreciation.”
“Grandmaster, you truly have an extraordinary bearing, and my Xu family has heard of your great name. We would like to present you with a Clear Sky pill…”
“Grandmaster, I’ve arranged for a private room at Ding Yuan Restaurant to welcome you and the Qin family. Please do me the honor…”
Precious gifts were handed over for the old man, and they were all received by the Qin family’s servants.
The old man did not speak. He naturally knew the reason why these people were doing this, which was to seek his support and protection.
The weak had always been like this.
Qin Zhengyang felt the same, so he said in a clear voice, “Everyone, there is no need for all this. The Qin family has already prepared a banquet for my teacher at Nanqin Villa. If you wish to join us, you may.”
When everyone heard that Qin Zhengyang had actually become the old man’s disciple, their eyes were filled with shock and envy.
It seemed that the Qin family was destined to become the number one family in Jiangnan Province.
At this moment, a little girl happened to pass by. Beside her was a middle-aged man who also exuded the aura of an ancient martial artist.
The middle-aged man was the head of the Meng family in River City, Meng Yuanchang!
When Chu Shuran was attacking the Meng family, Ye Chen coincidentally saved his life.
Last night, the little girl had discovered traces of Ye Chen’s aura on Meng Yuanchang’s body, so she went straight to him and asked him to take her to see Ye Chen.
Meng Yuanchang did not want to do this, but once she revealed her strength, he felt as if his worldview had shattered.
Were little girls supposed to be this strong? What had happened to River City? Why had so many monstrous geniuses suddenly appeared?
Meng Yuanchang knew that the people from the Qin family were all considered top-notch experts in Jiangnan Province, and was afraid that the little girl behind him would cause trouble. Thus, he brought the little girl in another direction.
Unexpectedly, the little girl did not follow him, and instead stared at the old man with interest, muttering, “I’ve finally met someone who can fight. I want to go and play with him…”
Meng Yuanchang’s face turned pale from fright and he hurriedly said, “My dear, I beg you, don’t cause trouble. Otherwise, we won’t be able to see Mr. Ye anytime soon…”
The little girl thought for a moment, and finally suppressed her desire to fight .”Forget it, it’s more important to find Ye Chen. Lead the way! If I don’t meet him today, you’ll get a beating from me.”
Meng Yuanchang was speechless.
In the villa.
Ye Chen sat cross-legged on the sofa and cultivated while Xia Ruoxue read a magazine.
Xia Ruoxue had wanted to go out several times, but Ye Chen had rejected her each and every time.
Right now, other than cultivating, the most important thing for Ye Chen was to protect Xia Ruoxue.
She could not be allowed to leave, as he realized that the baleful aura on Xia Ruoxue’s forehead was getting thicker and thicker.
Things were looking ominous.
However, he did not plan to seek the Qin family out, as he believed that they would soon come knocking on his door.
What he needed to do now was to cultivate and break through. Perhaps by doing so he would be able to fully activate the third tombstone.
This was his greatest trump card.
The only variable at the moment was the expert from the Kunlun Mountains invited by the Qin family.
If the other party’s strength was on par with his, then there would be no worries. However, if this expert’s strength far surpassed his, it would be a bitter battle.
Ding!
His phone vibrated with a message that read,” Mr. Ye, the Qin family has disembarked the plane.”
Then, Xia Ruoxue’s cell phone rang.
When she saw the caller ID on the phone, her expression changed slightly. Just as she was about to reach out and answer the phone, a mysterious force pulled the phone into Ye Chen’s hand.
Ye Chen glanced at the name and smiled as he pressed the answer button.
“Xia Ruoxue, you should remember about our agreement back then clearly, right? I have returned, which means that it’s time for our engagement to be fulfilled,” a devilish voice said, “I think…”
Before he could finish, Ye Chen interrupted him, “Qin Zhengyang, this might disappoint you, but Ruoxue is my woman now.”
When the person on the other end of the line heard this voice, he was stunned. Then, a wave of anger surged as he roared, “Ye Chen!”
Pa!
A loud bang was heard from the other side before the call ended.
Ye Chen’s eyes flashed with a hint of coldness.
The battle had already begun..
