Ye Chen nodded.
“He Jianqi was courting death. I didn’t want to cause trouble, but he just happened to do all of the wrong things.”
“From today to tomorrow, those people watching this place will think twice about acting up. When the results of my battle tomorrow are out, the Ye family will begin its journey to becoming a top family in Huaxia.”
“Mom, let’s go. It’s windy here.”
Jiang Rong glanced at the headless corpse and nodded.
Her son had grown up, and could make his own decisions. However, he would also have to bear the consequences himself.
This was the cruel nature of the martial arts world in Huaxia, and the main reason why she did not cultivate even though she was talented. She wanted to avoid this dirty world, but it seemed that she could no longer do so.
Now that she had stepped into the path of cultivation, she had already been tainted by this world. Also, she was born into the Jiang family, so she had no other choice.
Now that Little Chen had changed, she would do his best to support him.
Over the past few nights, she had even thought that perhaps she would have been able to protect her child and husband if she had listened to Old Master Jiang and started cultivating back then.
In a manor in the west of the capital, a few young men and women knelt on the ground, their faces extremely pale.
There was a package in front of them, bloody and glistening.
A middle-aged man and an old man sat in the seats of honor.
The middle-aged man was He Jianqi’s father and the head of the He family, He Guowang.
As for the old man, he was the true master of the He family, He Shenghai!
At this moment, their faces were flushed red, and killing intent overflowed from their bodies.
He Guowang stood up angrily.
“Are you saying that the owner of that piece of land is Ye Chen? Ye Chen killed two of our guest elders in front of you and even took Jianqi’s head?”
A bearded man nodded repeatedly. “Family head, that’s right! More importantly, Ye Chen is actually establishing his own force…”
“Pa!”
He Guowang slammed his palm on the table beside him.
“Ye family! Hmph! How dare he kill my son? Today, I will personally take the head of this arrogant brat to avenge my son!”
“Experts of the He family, listen up!”
He Guowang was about to say something when Old Master He stood up. He suppressed his anger and said indifferently, “Guowang, things are not as simple as you think. This time, Jianqi was reckless and didn’t think things through. That piece of land has been occupied by Bai Lixiong for so many years, yet he was willing to relinquish it to that kid.”
“Also, that kid dared to challenge Lin Juelong, so it won’t be as easy as you think. No matter what, Jianqi is dead, so we must make his death worthwhile and plan properly in order to take over that land. We should fight today. Tomorrow, let’s go and see how the battle in the martial arts arena turns out.”
He Shenghai’s tone was extremely calm. His grandson had been killed, but even if he was angry, he had to be rational. There was something unbelievable about this kid and how powerful he had become.
Who was behind this kid? What kind of force or expert was hiding in the shadows?
The unknown was the most terrifying thing.
He Guowang did not expect his father to say that. He wanted to calm down, but he realized that it was impossible.
He glanced at his father and could only say, “Dad, that kid will most likely be killed by Lin Juelong. What if he doesn’t die or wins?”
He Shenghai hesitated for a few seconds before a smile appeared on his lips.
“If he wins, that’s for the best. At that moment, we can attack!”
“The rules of the martial arts arena may look like they are set in stone, but in the end, people are the ones who carry them out. Ye Chen has angered everyone, so how can the martial arts community allow him to live?”
“As far as I know, although Jiang Rong is a member of the Jiang family, the conflict between her family and Old Master Jiang has already escalated. It’s impossible for him to help Ye Chen.”
At the same time, at the Jiang family’s residence.
Old Master Jiang narrowed his eyes and played with two spirit stones in his hand, which were emitting weak spiritual energy.
Suddenly, the old man stopped and sneered.
“That kid really wants to establish the Ye family? Reckless b*stard!”
He vaguely remembered Ye Chen’s bold words from a few days ago.
At this moment, Jiang Jianfeng could not help but say, “Dad, are we going to watch the battle tomorrow? Will you make a move then?”
“Hmph!”
Old Master Jiang snorted coldly.
“How can the Jiang family not watch such a grand event? I want to watch that arrogant brat die!”
“I’ll admit that his strength is not bad, and he has powerful martial techniques. However, after Lin Juelong returned from that place, he became terrifyingly strong. The outcome of this battle is obvious. That b*stard will definitely die.”
“Dad, if you save Ye Chen at the critical moment, Ye Chen might hand over the martial arts techniques…”
Jiang Jianfeng’s expression changed slightly. This was the only thing he could do to persuade his father.
“Save him?” Old Master Jiang sneered. Although his martial techniques are heaven-defying, I’m not stupid enough to save him in the martial arts arena! You should know that Ye Chen will never walk out of the martial arts arena alive, regardless of the outcome of tomorrow’s battle!”
“That arrogant b*stard has wasted the heaven-defying opportunity given to him.”
Jiang Jianfeng bit his lips lightly and left. He wanted to call Ye Chen to remind him, but his phone was switched off.
He called Jiang Rong instead, but her phone was also switched off.
“Alas, Ye Chen, I can only pray and hope for the best..”
