Chapter 425: Location
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When Lin Juelong and Father Lin heard the words of the elder from the Blood Alliance, their expressions changed drastically.
The Lin family originally wanted a share of Qinling’s dragon vein. However, they had received the news too late, and had been dealing with Ye Tianzheng.
By the time they got the news, the battle was already over. However, the news that most of the forces involved had been destroyed comforted them. At the very least, nothing would change if that was the case.
However, the elder had just told them that someone had stayed in the dragon vein for two days?
The dragon vein was extremely hot. Even cultivators might not be able to withstand those temperatures for very long, much less two days
Lin Juelong frowned and asked, “Sir, is your source reliable?”
“Hmph!”
The elder from Blood Alliance snorted and took out a photo. He threw it out.
“A disciple of the Blood Alliance personally sent me this photo. What else do you have to say?!”
“Also, other than Ye Chen, you have to take down one more person, which is the kid in this photo! He’s the one who stayed inside with the dragon vein for two days. He definitely has some sort of treasure with him.”
Lin Juelong took the photo and glanced at it. When he saw the cold and arrogant young man in the photo, his pupils dilated. Father Lin also took a glance, and his expression instantly warped in shock and disbelief.
The elder from the Blood Alliance sensed that something was wrong and asked, “Could it be that you know this person?”
Lin Juelong’s eyes were filled with cold killing intent. He held the photo in his hand and raised his head.
“Sir, this is the Ye Chen I mentioned just now!”
Upon hearing this, the elder from the Blood Alliance gasped. Someone that young had managed to break into the Ghost Prison, and had even survived a vicious battle involving thousands of people, and even stayed inside with the dragon vein for two days!
How terrifying!
“Where did this kid come from? Do you know which sect he is from?” the elder asked.
Lin Juelong shook his head.
“Ye Chen was a good-for-nothing five years ago. However, five years later, for some reason, he returned and exhibited his martial prowess, growing stronger at an unbelievable pace. No matter how I investigate, I don’t know where he went during those five years. As for the sect behind him, I don’t even know where to start!”
“I suspect that this person went to the Kunlun Mountains. Otherwise, there’s no way to explain his accomplishments,” Lin Juelong said.
In fact, he had suspected that Ye Chen had something to do with that thing he was looking for.
However, if Ye Chen had really obtained that thing, he would not have been useless for so many years, and would not have helplessly watched his parents be killed with his own eyes.
The best explanation was that Ye Chen had gone to the Kunlun Mountains, or some other mysterious place, and obtained some kind of inheritance!
The elder from the Blood Alliance pondered for a few seconds and said directly, “No matter where this kid comes from, I’ll give you two days to bring him to me alive! I’ll be waiting here for the next two days!”
“Yes, Sir!”
In a remote courtyard house in the capital.
A car stopped and the chauffeur led Ye Chen through a long alley. The alley was damp and cold, and there were a few trash cans lining the side of the alley, which emitted a foul stench.
Ye Chen could not figure out why the old man would be here.
However, he could already sense a few pairs of eyes staring at him in the dark, prepared to act if he did anything unexpected.
“Mr. Ye, please come in.”
The chauffeur pushed open the door of a courtyard house and Ye Chen walked in. He saw the old man sitting in the courtyard, along with Bai Lixiong and an unfamiliar young lady.
The young lady was massaging the old man’s shoulders and talking about what had happened recently. Her eyes were like crescents, and she looked very cute.
When he saw Ye Chen, the old man stood up, clearly a little excited.
“As expected of a young hero. Good! Good! Good!”
The old man said three times in a row. His face was flushed red and he was very excited.
How could he not be excited?
When the young lady heard her grandfather’s high evaluation of Ye Chen, she took a closer look at Ye Chen.
She could not see any respect from Ye Chen. There was even a hint of cold arrogance.
She looked a little displeased. Everyone was respectful when they saw her grandfather, but this kid was acting as if he was of the same generation as her grandfather.
“Mr. Ye, we meet again,” Bai Lixiong said respectfully.
Unknowingly, he had also changed the way he addressed Ye Chen.
Ye Chen was not only a divine doctor but also a powerful martial artist who had earned his respect. Ye Chen was also his benefactor.
This respectful tone instantly made the lady’s mouth drop slightly open, and her eyes were filled with confusion.
The old man remembered something and introduced Ye Chen.
“Ye Chen, this is my granddaughter, Rong’er. You’re about the same age, so you can hang out together sometime perhaps. In any case, the future belongs to you young ones.”
Ye Chen nodded. He did not intend to introduce himself and said directly, “I just want to know where the Lin family’s residence is.”
To him, his father’s safety was more important than anything else.
As for making friends, he did not have that much time to spare.
The lady’s eyes widened in anger!
Who would dare to treat her with such an attitude?
“Stinky brat, who do you think you are? I…”
The young lady was about to argue with Ye Chen when the old man said, “Rong’er, go back to your room first.”
“Grandpa, can you stand watching this guy treat me like this?”
“Go back to your room!”
The young lady heard her grandfather’s angry voice and could only reluctantly return to her room.
The courtyard instantly turned silent.
“Ye Chen, are you really going to cause trouble for the Lin family? Today, I heard that two extremely powerful experts are visiting the Lin family. These experts are very likely to have come from the depths of the Kunlun Mountains! Going there now is undoubtedly courting death,” the old man advised.
He did not want Ye Chen to die prematurely.
“Saving Bai Lixiong was our deal. I respect you, but I hope you respect me too,” Ye Chen’s attitude was extremely serious.
The old man shook his head helplessly. In the end, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket. On it was written a specific address and coordinates.
“This is the exact location of the Lin family’s residence, but you might not be able to break the Lin family’s formation..”
