Chapter 695: Are You Trying to Get Him Killed?
Tang Jianfeng drove fast.
Half an hour later, they arrived outside a villa in Yang City’s Third Ring Road. Ye Chen saw a person standing at the entrance of the villa from hundreds of meters away.
It was a young man in a purple robe, his aura surging.
If anyone was present, they would realize that the man was the person who used to rank No.1 on the Heaven Leaderboard, Yang Junlin, known as the Battle God of China!
Before Ye Chen debuted, Yang Junlin had suppressed the Heaven Leaderboard for ten years. Later on, as Ye Chen debuted and became famous, Yang Junlin was pushed to the second place after he ranked first on the Heaven Leaderboard.
Ye Chen entered the World Leaderboard, and Yang Junlin naturally dropped to second place.
Ye Chen was surprised, “Why is he here?”
As soon as the car stopped, Yang Junlin came up to them and said with a smile, “Welcome to the Yang residence, Ms. Luo, Mr. Tang and Mr. Ye!”
As if sensing Ye Chen’s confusion, Luo Shuiyao explained with a smile, “Ye Chen, I’m afraid you didn’t know yet. Yang Junlin is a member of the Tong family in Shang Santian. They’re planning to let him return to the Tong family after the Tong family came into the world. Therefore, the Tong family and the Xiang family are currently staying in the Yang residence.”
Ye Chen came to a realization after hearing that. He smiled at Yang Junlin.
“They’ve been waiting inside. Please come in!”
Yang Junlin made an inviting gesture.
Subsequently, he led the three of them into the Yang residence villa.
The Yang residence was not big, but it was well-equipped. There were pavilions, and there was also a sparring arena. Many weapons were placed there. It could be seen that Yang Junlin was a rather traditional person.
The Yang residence’s living room was currently filled with about ten people. They were all young men and women, and most of them were dressed in vintage clothing.
Ye Chen and the rest entered.
The eyes of a woman in a purple dress lit up, “Yaoyao, if you hadn’t come, we would’ve gone to look for you.”
The woman’s appearance was astonishing, and she had a gentle temperament. Her pair of peach blossom eyes were filled with intelligence, and her voice was as clear as a zither.
“Sister Shuhui, aren’t I here now?”
Luo Shuiyao immediately smiled and went up to welcome her. She intimately hugged the woman’s thin arm and stuck out her tongue playfully.
Ye Chen quietly observed the people in the living room. He noticed that there were two handsome young men sitting next to the lady. Behind one of them was Liu Qing whom he had seen before.
Sensing his gaze, Liu Qing smiled.
Meanwhile, the young man in front of him lifted his head and glanced at Ye Chen. There was wariness in his eyes, “Yaoyao, who is this?”
His words caught everyone’s attention. At that moment, everyone in the living room looked at Ye Chen.
Luo Shuiyao finally snapped back to her senses and introduced him immediately, “Brother Xiang Nan, this is Ye Chen, the China No. 1, Mad Southern Ye!”
Following her words, the living room fell into an awkward atmosphere.
Cold, dead, oppressive, intimidating...
If the people looked at Ye Chen like he was a stranger earlier, they were much colder now. There was even a hint of hostility.
On the other hand, a flash of extraordinary splendor flashed across the eyes of the lady from before.
The oppressive atmosphere made Yang Junlin, the host, feel as if he was facing a great enemy. On the other hand, Ye Chen stood with his hands behind his back and looked at everyone in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.
Several seconds later, discussions started in the living room.
“So, he’s Mad Southern Ye?”
“The guy who killed Xiao Yang and the rest?”
“He doesn’t look outstanding just from his appearance!”
“A mere mortal dares to call himself the China No. 1?”
“...”
Sensing that the atmosphere was odd, Luo Shuiyao’s pretty face changed slightly. She stood before Ye Chen by instinct and introduced them one by one, “Ye Chen, let me introduce you. This is Tong Shuhui from the Tong family of Shang Santian. This is Xiang Nan from the Xiang family. This is Liu Yunfeng from the Liu family. And that’s...”
Following her introduction, Ye Chen had a rough understanding of the people there.
Among them, Tong Shuhui, Xiang Nan, and Liu Yunfeng were very powerful. They were even more powerful than Xiao Yang and the rest that he had killed. They were at least a high-level martial venerable.
That also made him wary of the foundation of Shang Santian.
As expected of the holy land of martial arts heritage.
“Yaoyao, come here with me!”
Tong Shuhui suddenly said something and led Luo Shuiyao out of the living room. They only stopped when they arrived at the garden.
“Tell me, why did you bring this person to see us?”
Tong Shuhui, who had always been gentle, pulled a long face at that moment, “Don’t you know that Mad Southern Ye disregarded our Shang Santian and even killed people from the Xiao family as well as a few other ancient families? Moreover, he seems to have the netherworld token.”
“Sister Shuhui, it’s not a suspicion. Ye Chen really has a netherworld token. Moreover, it’s the one with the word ‘world’,” Luo Shuiyao said truthfully.
Tong Shuhui was shocked when she heard that, “What? Why do you still dare to bring him here? Don’t forget that the Xiang, Liu, Lin, and Huang family don’t have the netherworld token. Are you trying to get him killed?”
...
Even though their conversation was at least 300 meters away from the living room, Ye Chen still heard every single word.
It was not that he was intentionally eavesdropping, but from the moment he walked into the Yang residence villa, he had already spread his Divine Consciousness out. Naturally, what Tong Shuhui said could not escape his ears.
While the two ladies were talking outside, a young man behind Xiang Nan glanced at him indifferently, “You are the one who killed Xiao Yang and the rest?”
Ye Chen said calmly, “So what if I did? So what if I didn’t?”
The young man smirked coldly, “Your aura is too weak, I’m now very suspicious if you had used some shameful method to kill Xiao Yang and the rest.”
Ye Chen said, “You can try me.”
“You...”
The young man flew into a rage. Just as he was about to speak, Tang Jianfeng interrupted him, “Enough, Xiang Heng. If you really want to spar with someone, you can do that with me!”
Xiang Heng’s expression turned grim as he snorted, “Jianfeng, don’t forget that you’re also from Shang Santian. How dare you defend an outsider!”
Even Xiang Nan and Liu Yunfeng, who had been silent all this while, frowned. They were slightly displeased with Tang Jianfeng.
“Xiang Heng, Jianfeng is trying to save your life!”
Liu Qing, who was standing on the side, said, “I was also present that day, and personally witnessed how Xiao Yang and the rest were killed. If you really attack Brother Ye, don’t blame me for not warning you when you’re killed.”
Xiang Heng’s expression changed when he heard that. In the end, he did not dare to boast further. Even Xiang Nan and Liu Yunfeng secretly exchanged glances.
They were aware of Liu Qing’s personality. He never liked to exaggerate when he spoke. Since he had already proven the truth of what Ye Chen did that day, he would not lie.
It seemed like Ye Chen was not that different from the rumors.
Liu Yunfeng took another deep look at Ye Chen as he thought to this point and said, “I heard that you have a netherworld token?”
