Chapter 301: Karmic Retribution
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When they arrived at a clearing, they stared at the bolts of lightning falling from the sky in fear.
They had never seen such a shocking scene before, and did not know what to do. However, one thing was clear…
Anyone who could cause such a phenomenon was definitely a peerless expert, whose strength far surpassed theirs!
Could it be that another expert had appeared in Jiangnan Province?
The forces of Huaxia’s Martial Arts Department frowned. The old man who had criticized Ye Chen in the square took out his phone to take a picture of this scene, but the moment he pressed the button to take the photo, a strong burning sensation writhed around his hand, and then…
Bang!
The phone exploded, and some parts of the phone even shot into his eyes!
“Ahhhh!”
A scream resounded throughout the entire Medicine King Valley.
At the same time, in a straw hut in the depths of Medicine King Valley, there was a sage-like old man seated cross-legged. This person was the strongest alchemist in the Medicine Alliance!
Not only was he a skilled alchemist, but his martial strength would place him within the top ten ranks of Huaxia’s grandmaster rankings.
Of course, his name was not on there, as he was not bothered with such things. Instead, he was focused on cultivation.
At this moment, he opened his eyes, and a bright gleam flashed across his eyes as he looked up in shock.
“How could such a strong expert appear in Medicine King Valley? Has Jiangnan Province changed? Or has Huaxia changed?”
In the alchemy room, Xiang Chengdong sensed that something was wrong, so he opened his eyes. What he saw shocked him.
Ye Chen was surrounded by lightning energy!
He immediately knelt on the ground!
He did not care about his status as chairman of the Medicine Alliance or as a grandmaster!
At this moment, he only wanted to live. To others, he was a man who had seen the world. However, at this moment, he was seeing a phenomenon that rendered all of his knowledge and experience useless!
What kind of expert was Ye Chen? He was not sure, but the one thing he was sure of was that Ye Chen could turn him into ashes in an instant!
Ye Chen simply watched as Xiang Chengdong knelt down. He frowned and stomped on the ground. Soon, his true qi surged, and Xiang Chengdong’s body was lifted up into the air.
Then, Ye Chen pushed the golden rune in his hand directly into Xiang Chengdong’s body, creating waves of golden light!
A black seal appeared on Xiang Chengdong’s chest!
Ye Chen sneered, “Trashy seal! I’ll show you what true power is like! Break!”
Beams of light penetrated Xiang Chengdong’s body. Ye Chen, who was holding the lightning energy, opened his fingers and grabbed the seal in his palm.
The seal tried to escape, but even if Ye Chen released his grip, the golden rune would keep it from escaping.
Suddenly, Ye Chen closed his fingers…
Kacha!
The black seal disappeared and turned into dust.
At this moment, thousands of miles away from Capital City.
Ghost Prison!
This place was extremely dark, and a dangerous aura permeated the surroundings.
This place was filled with violence and evil. Without strength, one would not be able to survive long here.
In the depths of the Ghost Prison, an old man with a goatee in a long robe sat in a stone room.
In front of him was a couple, bound with special restraints.
The man’s face was filled with determination. Although he had been through a lot, one could feel a trace of pride on his face.
The woman was about forty years old and still had her charm.
If Ye Chen was here, he would definitely realize that these two were the parents he had been searching for!
Ye Tianzheng!
Jiang Rong!
The old man looked at the two of them and said, “It’s been so long already. Are you really not going to tell me?”
“Do you really want to stay here forever?”
“Hmph!” Ye Tianzheng snorted.
“I told you, I don’t know anything. If you want to imprison me, then imprison me. Even if we stay here for decades, we have nothing to say!”
“Anyway, we’re living like walking corpses now. If you want to kill us, then just do it. If you want to torture us, then go ahead.”
The old man shook his head and looked at Jiang Rong.
“Miss Jiang, you were a golden child. You must have suffered a lot in this Ghost Prison. As long as you agree to tell me, 1 can agree to all your conditions.”
Jiang Rong looked at Ye Tianzheng, her beautiful eyes filled with tenderness. “I’m willing to suffer with him. Besides, the two of us have nothing left. There’s no point in living.”
The old man tapped his fingers on the table and narrowed his eyes.
“Don’t you even care about your son, Ye Chen?”
Hearing this, the couple’s expressions became deep and complicated.
“Our son is dead. It’s useless to try to use him to sway us,” Jiang Rong said coldly.
Back at Cloud Lake Manor, she was the one who pushed Ye Chen into East Coin Lake.
She knew better than anyone else the rapid flow of water and the height of the cliff.
She had no choice. It was better for him to perish than to suffer like they did..
“What if I tell you that your son is not dead?”
The old man’s words were shocking, and caused their hearts to tremble.
They said in unison, “What did you say?”
The old man smiled as if victory was in his grasp. “Tell me the secret I want to know, and if I’m in a good mood and bring your son to see you.”
The two of them glanced at each other, and saw the determination in each other’s eyes.
“Don’t even think about it! Even if Chen’er is alive, 1 believe he will find us himself!”
A hint of anger flashed across the old man’s face, and his finger gently rested on a red button.
“As long as I press this button,” he said threateningly, “you’ll receive numerous painful electric shocks. It’s not a good feeling, you know.”
The couple still ignored the old man.
“Alright, since you have chosen suffering, I’ll gladly fulfill your wishes.”
The old man then began to press the button.
Suddenly, lightning surged out of his body, and an extremely terrifying aura enveloped him!
“How is this possible?”
The old man’s expression changed drastically. He had sensed that his seal was broken, and he had actually suffered a backlash!
Looking at the lightning around him, his eyes were filled with fear!
Someone actually broke his seal! Furthermore, there was no trace of that person!
The only thing sign of it was this damned lightning!
The lightning energy coursed through his body, causing havoc through his blood essence and qi. At some point, he could no longer control it, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
It was a shocking sight!
He had guarded Ghost Prison for a hundred years and had never been in such a sorry state.
At this moment, his whole body was charred black, and the lightning energy was still lingering in his body.
He fell to the ground, his body twitching, his face ferocious and pale.
Gulp!
Ye Tianzheng and Jiang Rong were stunned by this strange scene. Were they not the ones who were supposed to be tortured with electricity?
Had it somehow backfired on this old man?
Could this be the legendary karmic retribution?
The two of them looked at each other and smiled for some reason..
