Chapter 912: Fated Enemies
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Yes, Family Head!”
In an instant, more than ten figures charged toward Ye Lingtian.
Ye Chen walked up to Ye Lingtian and patted him on the shoulder.
“There’s no need to try and talk sense into this kind of person. Just kill him.”
Seconds later, Ye Chen’s killing intent erupted. He extended his arm and a bolt of lightning appeared in his hand!
Then, his figure flashed, leaving afterimages as he dashed forward.
Puchi!
One punch after another landed on those figures!
Ye Chen could easily crush these saint king realm and origin realm cultivators bare-handed!
Soon, blood stained the ground. It had taken him less than five seconds to deal with them, and the attackers had all been either maimed or killed!
Ye Lingyun and his mother were completely stunned by this scene. They could tell that Ye Lingtian was weak, but what the hell was going on with this servant of his?
F*ck!
Before Ye Lingyun could react, Ye Chen appeared beside him and the power of his body’s runes and the power of divine lightning erupted!
How could Ye Lingyun block it?
Bang!
Ye Lingyun’s body slammed into the ground, and the powerful impact of the blow broke his ribs!
He spat out large mouthfuls of blood as he crumpled to the ground.
Ye Lingyun’s mother cried out in shock. However, before she could do anything, Ye Lingtian’s hand grabbed her neck…
Crack!
He broke it!
Her eyes widened…
She never expected death to come so quickly!
Ye Chen glanced at Ye Lingtian, whose eyes were red, and knew that the latter had lost his mind to anger. He said calmly, “This guy should know something about what’s going on. Ask him. Judging from Uncle’s injuries, it’s not simple. Once we figure out the truth, we’ll bury Uncle in a grand manner today.”
Ye Lingtian regained his senses and nodded seriously. Then, he stepped on Ye Lingyun’s fingers.
Kacha! Kacha…
He broke them one by one!
“Ye Lingyun, what happened after I left? How did my father die? Speak! If you dare to lie…”
Ye Lingtian broke a few more of Ye Lingyun’s fingers again, causing the latter to scream like a pig being slaughtered.
“Stop… No! I’ll tell you! I’ll tell you everything!” Ye Lingyun did not have much courage to begin with, so he immediately begged for mercy.
“Big brother, you are my big brother. Please don’t kill me. A few years ago, Father went up the mountain and accidentally discovered a secret realm that was temporarily opened.”
“He obtained many things, and one of them was a rare treasure!”
“What treasure?” Ye Lingtian narrowed his eyes. “What treasure?”
Ye Lingyun shook his head and wept bitterly. “Father never told anyone. He only gave us some of the pills and spirit stones he got from the cave. As for the treasure, he never mentioned it. Out of curiosity, I snuck into Father’s room when he wasn’t around and found an ancient box that was two meters long!”
“When I opened the box, I found a strange spear that was emitting a violent baleful and demonic aura! However, I didn’t expect that when the box was opened, a strange phenomenon would appear in the sky above the family residence. It was like a demonic dragon from hell, and extremely terrifying!”
“This phenomenon has alarmed the entire Seaside City, and countless experts swarmed toward the residence. After that, Father also found out what happened and pushed me away. He left the family residence in a panic with the box and disappeared for three days!”
“When he returned in three days, those people were waiting for him at the residence! Father seemed to be aware of this, but only said a few words to those people and left.”
“Father only returned a few days later, but this time, he returned in a coffin! I really had nothing to do with Father’s death!”
After hearing that, Ye Lingtian was furious and punched Ye Lingyun in the face, causing it to deform and cave in!
“You b*stard! Why did you kill Father?!”
Punch after punch, Ye Lingtian vented the anger in his heart.
Ye Chen, on the other hand, narrowed his eyes as he thought about everything. It was obvious that Ye Lingtian’s father had indeed obtained a treasure.
Something that could cause such a phenomenon and attract so much attention was likely to be a treasure similar in grade to his Dragonslayer Heaven Sword.
Seeing that Ye Lingtian was about to kill Ye Lingyun, Ye Chen stopped him and said, “Answer two more questions and I’ll let you go. First, who got the treasure in the end? Second, who are those people you’re talking about?”
Ye Lingyun grabbed onto his last hope of survival. He spat out a few mouthfuls of blood and continued, “Everything else that father brought back has been taken away. However, no one knows where that treasure has gone. Because of this, everyone in our family has been interrogated!”
“As for who they are, even if you knew, you wouldn’t dare to do anything! Xu family! Situ family! Even Lord Xiang from the Punishment Bureau!”
Ye Chen and Ye Lingtian looked at each other when they heard those words. They could read each other’s eyes. It seemed that those people were indeed their fated enemies.
The Xu family and Xiang Yingjie were actually involved!
“There’s only one treasure, yet so many factions are fighting over it? Xiang Yingjie clearly uses a sword, why would he need this ancient spear?” Ye Chen frowned.
“This is no secret in Seaside City,” Ye Lingyun quickly said, “Mo Chengtong, the peerless body-refining genius of the Mo family in Seaside City, needs a spear. These families are just trying to curry favor with the Mo family!”
“Alright, I’ve told you everything. Can you let me go?”
Ye Chen was slightly taken aback when he heard the name of the Mo family. After all, the Mo family was the reason why he had come here in the first place. It almost seemed like fate was pushing him toward a certain direction.
However, Ye Chen did not dwell on the thought. He smiled at Ye Lingyun. “Of course I’ll keep my promise. I won’t kill you, but… Lingtian, you can kill him!”
Ye Lingyun’s eyes widened as he spat out a mouthful of blood.
This was too f*cking despicable!
Just as he was about to speak, Ye Lingtian’s fist smashed into his body. This punch was imbued with every ounce of Ye Lingtian’s true qi, and immediately killed Ye Lingyun.
Looking at the corpses around him, Ye Lingtian sat weakly on the ground with his back against the damaged coffin.
Blood and tears stained his eyes.
He was the Dark Hall’s guardian. He was powerful, and was still a man of steel, but in his father’s eyes, he was a child.
He understood his father. During the three days his father had disappeared, his father had probably hidden the treasure somewhere. However, his father still returned in order to take responsibility for the matter and to ensure the survival of the Ye family.
He was willing to use his own life to exchange for the safety of everyone in the Ye family, but it seemed that none of those he saved were even the slightest bit grateful.
How disappointing…
Human nature was sometimes cold and heartless.
