Chapter 281: Ghost Prison
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In Jiang Jianfeng’s eyes, although Ye Chen was full of surprises, he was still an ant.
He could easily crush or kill such an ant.
However, he did not do so.
The first time he found out that Ye Chen had killed Yuan Jingfu, he had treated Ye Chen like an exciting new toy.
He wanted to see how long this toy could last!
He had once made a bet with his subordinates that Ye Chen would not last
more than three days, but had lost the bet.
Again and again, Ye Chen had given him surprises.
However, at this moment, the illusory blood dragon above Ye Chen’s head had given him a shock that surpassed all of the others!
The majestic blood dragon almost made it seem like Ye Chen was invincible!
For a moment, he even felt that Ye Chen’s threats held water.
He was ranked ninth on Huaxia’s grandmaster rankings…
How many people could make him feel fear?
Although there were definitely some people, this kid was not one of them.
There was a legendary saying passed down through Huaxia’s Martial Arts Department that he had always scoffed at.
“Blood Dragon Soars to the Heavens, Slaughtering the Earthly World!”
This saying seemed to be referring to the phenomenon in front of him right now!
As much as he did not want to admit it, he was looking at it with his own two eyes.
He could even hear a faint dragon roar!
Could it be that this bastard would become a legendary existence that slaughtered the earthly world?
How was this possible?
This bastard had mortal roots, and had no talent worth speaking about!
What was going on?
Could it be that the test back then was wrong?
Countless doubts lingered in Jiang Jianfeng’s mind, and his expression turned complicated.
At this moment, his train of thought was broken when Ye Chen continued, “Jiang Jianfeng, 1 want to know what happened back then! Tell me!”
His words did not sound like a question, but an order.
At any other time, Jiang Jianfeng would have killed him, but at this moment, the blood dragon in the sky was staring at him, and the cold pressure it exuded engulfed him.
He felt very uncomfortable, and was also inexplicably frightened.
How could he be frightened by this bastard?
He glanced at Ye Chen and finally said, “The events that led to that incident started decades ago. After your mother became an adult, she awakened a rare spiritual root, which represented unparalleled talent and strength. For a time, your mother was the favored daughter of the heavens in Huaxia, and the Jiang family’s glory was boundless.”
“Unfortunately, a problem arose. Even though your mother was extremely talented, she didn’t have the heart to cultivate ancient martial arts. In fact, she was extremely resistant to it. In order to avoid cultivating, she thought of ways to leave the Jiang family every day. Because she was the treasure of the Jiang family, no one in the family could do anything to her, and they weren’t even willing to beat her.”
“Perhaps it was due to this that your mother became so unbridled. She met Ye Tianzheng, your father, while on vacation at a banquet. The two of them fell in love and ignored all of the possible consequences to get together. By the time the Jiang family found out, it was already too late. Your mother was pregnant! She even secretly married your father in River City!”
“After learning of this, the head of the family was furious! Back then, after realizing that your mother had no intention of cultivating, the family prepared an engagement for her with someone who also had a spiritual root. Once the two of them got married and had a child, that child would definitely be a top-notch genius!”
“It’s a pity that your mother chose your father, a lowly ordinary person, instead. Your father was supposed to die, but in order to save your father, your mother did not hesitate to leave the Jiang family and chose to never step into the Jiang family for the rest of her life!”
“Originally, the Jiang family still had hope for you, but after they tested you as a child, they realized that you had mortal roots and no talent to speak of whatsoever.”
“No matter how bad your father’s bloodline was, it should have been impossible for your mother to give birth to a child with mortal roots. Thus, to the Jiang family, you’re a bastard and failure.”
“You don’t have to glare at me like that. I’m just telling the truth.”
Ye Chen retracted his cold gaze and continued asking, “What happened at the Cloud Lake Manor back then? What is Chief Long’s background? Tell me. You should know his whereabouts.”
This time, Jiang Jianfeng did not answer. Instead, he said, “The Cloud Lake Manor incident back then was not as simple as you think. The waters are very deep, so it’s best if you don’t know. Although 1 looked down on you and even wanted to kill you, after seeing you, I changed my mind. You shouldn’t die now because 1 want to see you go to Capital City and create chaos there!”
“What if 1 must know?”
As Ye Chen’s cold voice spoke, the illusory blood dragon in the sky seemed to roar in unison.
Jiang Jianfeng still shook his head.
“It’s useless even if you threaten me. Although that illusory blood dragon phantom is dangerous, it’s not so easy to kill me!”
“Moreover, the Cloud Lake Manor incident is full of suspicious points. Even now, I’m still investigating. I really can’t figure out why that person would suddenly attack your family? I once asked your parents, but they ignored me.”
Ye Chen glanced at Jiang Jianfeng. It seemed that the Jiang family did not know about the existence of the black stone.
Back then, Yao Jingu had only been looking for something, and did not specify the black stone. Perhaps his mother had something else in her possession that caught their attention.
“Where are my parents in Capital City? Take me to see them,” Ye Chen said.
He had been waiting for this moment for too long!
“I have to disappoint you regarding this matter. Not only can you not see them, but I can’t either.”
“Why?”
“Because they’re in Huaxia’s Ghost Prison!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Jianfeng’s phone suddenly vibrated. He glanced at the message and his expression changed drastically.
He stood up abruptly and said, “Originally, I had the urge to kill you when I invited you here today, but now 1 have changed my mind. From now on, you had better take care of yourself. 1 will tell you about the Ghost Prison when 1 have the chance.”
A strong wind blew and Jiang Jianfeng disappeared from Ye Chen’s sight in an instant.
Ye Chen then sat on the bench and lit a cigarette up. He was already very satisfied with the information he had obtained today.
Although he did not know what kind of place the Ghost Prison was, since it had a name, it would be much easier to find it.
As the smoke swirled around him, Ye Chen looked at the calm lake and muttered, “Jiang family, I’ll remember this debt! Back then, my mother begged you bitterly. Back then, you treated me as a bastard. Back then, you looked down on our family.”
“However, it won’t be long before 1 make you understand just how wrong you all were!”
“I, Ye Chen, do not need the Jiang family! When my time comes, the only feeling you will be left with is regret!”
