Chapter 480: Inevitable!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Looking at the mural in front of him, Ye Chen could feel the blood dragon in his body stirring.
It was as if it was about to rush out of his body at any moment.
He tried his best to suppress it, but the blood dragon in his body still emitted a violent aura. He stood there for a full five minutes.
Li Yuncheng looked at Ye Chen several times. He could not understand why Mr.
Ye kept staring at that spot.
The nine dragons only occupied a small part of the entire mural. Moreover, it was not the most important thing.
“Mr. Ye?”
Li Yuncheng said softly but Ye Chen still did not respond.
“Ye…”
Li Yuncheng felt that something was wrong. He was about to reach out to warn Ye Chen when a violent dragon’s roar erupted, which shook the entire underground space.
At the same time, the blood dragon rushed out of Ye Chen’s body!
A powerful shockwave swept through the surroundings.
Li Yuncheng’s expression changed drastically. He looked at Ye Chen as if he had seen something terrifying, but it was too late to dodge!
An invisible killing intent enveloped him, and the shockwaves shook his internal organs violently, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood/
His body flew backward like a kite with a broken string!
Wei Ying, on the other hand, was not hurt at all. The moment the blood dragon charged out, the ice around her body covered her, instinctively protecting her!
Just as Li Yuncheng’s body was about to smash into a wall, a figure rushed over!
It was the Li family’s patriarch, Li Jiacheng!
Li Jiacheng’s body trembled, and an invisible barrier appeared in front of him, which caught Li Yuncheng. Although it blunted the impact, the powerful force still made Li Jiacheng and Li Yuncheng take a full ten steps back.
“Dad, why are you here?”
Li Yuncheng let out a sigh of relief and secretly rejoiced.
Who knew why Ye Chen would suddenly act like this?
Li Jiacheng did not say anything, and merely stared at the blood dragon above Ye Chen’s head.
His expression was serious and fearful.
Then, his gaze landed on the young man on the mural and he muttered, “Could it be that I’ve guessed correctly? Is the young man in the mural really Ye Chen? Although this blood dragon is much smaller than the mural, it matches one of the nine divine dragons…”
He looked calm on the surface, but his heart was in turmoil!
If that was really the case, then the implications behind this matter were too big.
This mural was at least a thousand years old! A thousand years ago, someone had predicted Ye Chen’s existence?
At this moment, Ye Chen finally came to his senses, and the blood dragon above his head returned to his body.
He was completely sure that the young man in the mural was him. However, the biggest question in his heart was why he appeared in this mural. Although he knew the art of divination, even the ancient mighty experts might not be able to divine the future a thousand years in advance. There were too many variables!
His family background, his grandfather, Xiangjiang City, Jiang Dao Mountain, and this underground city…
All these things intertwined and formed a strange and unfathomable mystery.
How was he going to decipher all of this?
Ye Chen finally turned his gaze to Li Yuncheng and Li Jiacheng.
He took out two pills and threw them over.
“I couldn’t control myself just now. These two pills will be very beneficial to
your recovery.”
The two of them took a medicinal pill each and could naturally sense the rich medicinal fragrance it emitted.
“Thank you, Mr. Ye!”
Without any hesitation, they immediately consumed it, and their originally pale faces became a little ruddy.
They were getting more and more curious about Ye Chen.
These pills were more powerful than any pills in Xiangjiang City, or even Huaxia!
Such pills would be treasures to any martial artist, so the fact that Ye Chen had given them away so casually meant that these pills were nothing special to him, and that he had even more valuable pills!
Ye Chen turned around and continued to look at the mural.
“Where did this mural come from?”
Li Jiacheng went over to Ye Chen’s side. At the same time, he glanced at Li Yuncheng and Wei Ying.
“Yuncheng, why don’t you bring Miss Wei somewhere else to pick a gift?” Li Yuncheng and Wei Ying immediately got the hint, and they walked off together.
Soon, there were only two people left.
Li Jiacheng did not waste any time and said, “Mr. Ye, Xiangjiang City was the land of the southern barbarians in the history of Huaxia. The southern barbarians are the pioneers of ancient martial arts, and perhaps cultivation. According to my investigation over the years, experts from the Kunlun Mountains often come to Xiangjiang City to deal with certain affairs.” “The guardians of Huaxia have also held many meetings at Jiang Dao Mountain, which all points to how extraordinary this place is. Our Li family’s ancestors realized this, and over the course of a few hundred years, moved the family and established it here.”
A hundred years ago, my father discovered something special about this place by accident in Xiangjiang City. Therefore, he bought this place and used all of his connections and money to protect it!
Later on, we built villas on the surface during the day to conceal this matter from the public, while at night, we secretly excavated this ancient city. “The more we researched and studied this underground city, the more powerful our Li family became. We even used this as a leverage to allow my eldest son to embark on the path of cultivation. When my eldest son joined one of the sects of the Kunlun Mountains, the Li family’s status was further solidified.”
Li Jiacheng knew very well that the presence of the blood dragon in Ye Chen’s body meant that he was not an ancient martial artist, but a cultivator! Thus, Ye Chen definitely knew about the existence of the Kunlun Mountains! The corners of Ye Chen’s mouth curled into an arc as he looked at the old man in front of him with interest.
He had seen this old man on the news countless times, and had assumed that he was just the top businessman in Huaxia, but now it seemed that he had underestimated him.
“I am an outsider to your Li family. You don’t even know me well. Why are you telling me this secret? You should know that if I spread the news of what happened today, your Li family’s foundation will definitely collapse.”
Li Jiacheng laughed heartily.
“Mr. Ye, I have learned a lot in the business world. I also have a firm belief that luck and courage are the most important things for those who succeed.
“If Mr. Ye is really like that, then I’ll accept the destruction of my Li family.” “But now it seems that Mr. Ye is more interested in this mural than our Li family.”
Ye Chen was about to say something when Li Jiacheng walked over and pointed at a spot in the mural. He said seriously, “Mr. Ye, I wasn’t sure if you had any connection with the mural, but the blood dragon proves it.”
“Also, Mr. Ye, please look here. This scene makes me certain that Mr. Ye will definitely step into Jiang Dao Mountain tomorrow!”
Ye Chen was stunned. Following the direction Li Jiacheng pointed, he saw another scene.
In the picture, a young man was holding a sword. Opposite him were ten old men.
Although the image was still, the auras of these ten elders were powerful, and their eyes were filled with arrogance.
On the other hand, the young man was injured and his aura was weak. However, a cruel smile appeared on his lips, as if victory was in his grasp. Ye Chen knew very well that this painting was depicting the scene of what would happen on Jiang Dao Mountain tomorrow.
The ten old men must be guardians of Huaxia, and this meant that a battle was inevitable..
