Chapter 362: Takeover
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
This result was much better than Ye Chen had expected. At the very least, he had not needed to activate any of the Samsara Graveyard’s tombstones.
This trump card would be best saved for when Ghost Prison opened, as there were too many unknown variables in that situation that he could neither predict, nor control.
The moment Ye Chen fell, a figure reached out and stopped him from falling.
It was Lu Hanshuang.
However, Ye Chen was already asleep, as he was too tired.
Lu Lingfeng walked over and glanced at Ye Chen. He sighed and said, “Hanshuang, carry the Palace Lord inside to rest. His body is probably exhausted from the battle.”
“If the martial arts world were to find out about what just happened, their jaws would probably fall to the floor. Who would have thought that a good-for-nothing piece of trash from the Ye family could suppress the Xuemei Palace by himself?
Even now, 1 can hardly believe it. To be honest, I’m really curious about what secrets he has.”
Although he said that, Lu Lingfeng did not have any intentions of probing further. All he could do was submit.
Lu Hanshuang nodded lightly and helped Ye Chen over to a certain place.
After she took six or seven steps, Lu Lingfeng suddenly stopped Lu Hanshuang. “Hanshuang, wait a moment.”
“Dad, what’s wrong?”
Lu Lingfeng narrowed his eyes and said seriously, “If the Palace Lord needs anything, do your best to fulfill them. The Palace Lord is a dragon among men. If you can get close to him, it will be beneficial to you.”
Lu Hanshuang hesitated for a few seconds, but did not say anything. She continued to support Ye Chen as they made their way out of the hall.
Soon, the two of them arrived at a large room, and she placed him on a bed.
It was still the afternoon and the sun was still shining outside. Lu Hanshuang carefully removed Ye Chen’s clothes, leaving only his underwear. She then tucked him into bed, and stood quietly by Ye Chen’s side.
As time passed, she could hear Ye Chen’s heavy breathing, and just like that, Lu Hanshuang stared at Ye Chen for a full five hours. For some reason, the more she looked at him, the more curious she became.
This young man had so many secrets and mysteries, and was like a black hole that attracted her. What else had he hidden from everyone? What happened during those five years?
As she was staring blankly at him, his eyes finally opened.
Ye Chen was awake!
The moment their eyes met, Lu Hanshuang hurriedly stood at attention and said, “Palace Lord, you were exhausted, so I helped you change…”
Ye Chen did not think too much about it. He struggled to get up, took out two pills, and swallowed them.
At the same time, he sat cross-legged and prepared to circulate his cultivation technique.
“Lu Hanshuang, protect me. No one is allowed to disturb me.”
“Yes, Palace Lord!”
Lu Hanshuang hurried over to the door to stand guard.
Another hour later, Ye Chen slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air. The condition of his injuries had somewhat stabilized a little.
However, he had to be more careful when using true qi in the future. If he were to exhaust himself like this frequently, it would end up affecting his cultivation.
Suddenly, Ye Chen thought of something. He took out his phone from his pocket and dialed Ye Lingtian’s number.
He did not trust the people from Xuemei Palace. The only person he trusted was Ye Lingtian.
To a certain extent, Dark Hall and Xuemei Palace were the same kind of organization. The type that hid in the shadows.
His initial plan was to have Ye Lingtian take control of these experts.
“Hall Master!”
Ye Lingtian’s respectful voice was heard from the other end of the line.
“Did anything happen to Xia Ruoxue and Sun Yi in Jiangnan Province?” Ye Chen asked.
On the other end of the phone, Ye Lingtian quickly said, “Mr. Ye, don’t worry. With me around, no one dared to touch them. Recently, they’ve been busy with the Heavenly Justice Group and the Xia family’s affairs and rarely travel very far.”
Ye Chen nodded and said, “I called you to let you know that you and the others from Dark Hall can start making your preparations to come to the capital. There is a faction here that I need you to control.”
Ye Lingtian was taken aback. He could not figure out what Ye Chen meant, so he sought clarification.
“Hall Master, what do you mean by that?”
Ye Chen smiled and asked directly, “What if you’re asked to take over Xuemei Palace?”
“What?! Xuemei Palace?” Ye Lingtian exclaimed with a trembling voice.
“Yes, right now, this place is a pool of stagnant water, waiting for you to stir it up. As for Sun Yi and Xia Ruoxue’s safety, leave it to Rakshasa and Dragon Soul. At the same time, 1 will send some experts to Jiangnan Province to protect them.”
“What you need to do is to bring your forces here immediately!”
“Yes, Hall Master!”
After hanging up, Ye Chen went to the window and looked down amidst the night sky above the western suburbs of the capital.
This was his first step in establishing himself here.
He wanted the Jiang family to regret their actions, and he wanted to have his parents reclaim their dignity and tell those people that they never needed the Jiang family’s recognition anyway!
After that, Ye Chen stayed at Xuemei Palace for a few more hours and gave Lu Lingfeng Ye Lingtian’s phone number.
The two of them would be in charge of the integration of Xuemei Palace and the Dark Hall. Now, all he had to do was make preparations for tomorrow night..
