Chapter 1457: Chapter 1457: Every Forest Has Dead Wood, Every Crowd Has Fools! (2 Updates)
“Ke Yan! Are you guys okay? Why aren’t you answering the phone?”
After the call connected, Ye Haochuan couldn’t wait to voice his concern.
“Hiss… We… We’re fine… Alliance Hierarch, is there anything you need?” Ke Yan stammered.
Ye Haochuan knew something was wrong as soon as he heard this, and coldly asked, “What’s really going on? Is there anything you still need to hide from me?”
Not to mention Langfan and Ke Yan being part of the Genius Seven Kills Formation, just because they’re members of the Long Alliance, Ye Haochuan wouldn’t easily abandon them.
“I… sigh,”
Ke Yan sighed, her voice sounding desolate and helpless to Ye Haochuan.
“Tell me! Where are you?”
Ye Haochuan’s tone revealed unprecedented determination and seriousness.
“At…” Ke Yan still hesitated.
“Speak!” Ye Haochuan grew impatient, instantly becoming stern.
“We’re at the Ye Family in the north of Xuantian City!” Ke Yan blurted out reflexively, but regretted it as soon as she finished.
“Wait for me there, I’ll call you when I arrive!”
After Ye Haochuan finished speaking, he hung up the phone without waiting for Ke Yan’s response.
North of Xuantian City Ye Family? Damn it, don’t let this be related to the Ye Family!
Ye Haochuan thought furiously, unable to understand what had happened to Langfan and Ke Yan as he walked and pondered.
If Langfan and they were fine, Ye Haochuan clearly heard Ke Yan’s voice sounding injured. If they were in trouble, Ke Yan was still stammering.
“Damn! I won’t think about it anymore!”
Ye Haochuan had a headache from thinking, so he simply decided not to think about it. He used the Great Yan Step to find a cultivator, asked about the Ye Family, and then sped off.
Though it was the Ye Family, it was actually just a branch. The headquarters of the Ye Family wasn’t even in Xuantian City.
But even just a branch was countless times larger than the Bai Family. A long road stretched straight from one of Xuantian City’s gates to a tall plaque.
On the plaque, two large, flamboyant characters had an incomparable aura, suppressing the space within a thousand meters around the plaque. Just from this aura, one could tell the plaque was a defensive magical treasure.
Below the plaque stood several guards, all wearing identical outfits, carrying identical longswords, and even their demeanor was extremely similar.
It was obvious they had cultivated some kind of joint attack technique, allowing them to exert combat power several times greater than their own.
These guards were all at the Core Formation Peak stage. When they deployed their joint attack formation, they could exert power of the Nascent Soul Early Stage, and they could also control the tall plaque.
Hence, even an ordinary Nascent Soul Mid-Stage cultivator might not be able to break through their defenses to enter the Ye Family.
“Hey, Ke Yan, I’m here, where are you guys?”
Standing at a distance, Ye Haochuan surveyed the guards and dialed Ke Yan’s phone.
“You… wait, I’ll come out right away.” Ke Yan responded quickly after answering the call.
“Boy, what do you want? This is the Ye Family, move along if you have no business, don’t look for trouble!”
A guard spotted Ye Haochuan by the roadside and immediately frowned and shouted loudly.
Upon hearing the guard’s words, the other guards also looked towards Ye Haochuan, one of them with a face full of pockmarks squinted his eyes as he approached Ye Haochuan.
“Hey! I didn’t notice this kid until you mentioned it. Kid, where are you from? What are you doing here?”
The pockmarked face approached Ye Haochuan, eyes locked tightly on him, ready to start a fight at the slightest disagreement.
“What? Does standing on the main road bother you?”
Ye Haochuan is someone fearless by nature, having killed several Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, let alone a mere Core Formation Peak guard.
“Oh! So you still have a tough mouth, kid?”
The pockmarked face put his hands on his hips and said with a sideways glance, “Kid, don’t say I didn’t give you a chance, quickly offer something nice to please me, or else I’ll teach you a lesson today!”
“Damn! Truly every big tree has dead wood, every crowd has idiots!”
Ye Haochuan was astonished by this guy, not even considering his own strength dared to extort him.
“Damn you! Ignoring kindness, let’s see if I don’t beat you to death!”
The pockmarked face’s expression changed drastically upon hearing Ye Haochuan, never having seen someone be so arrogant towards the Ye Family, especially when that person is just a Core Formation Mid-Stage cultivator.
“Haha, the pockmarked guy is angry. I bet with a superior spirit crystal that this kid won’t withstand three blows. Who’s willing to bet?”
One of the guards laughed heartily, taking a superior spirit crystal from his pocket, but after he spoke, he found the others looking at him like an idiot, none willing to bet.
Because everyone could see, this pockmarked face was at the Core Formation Peak stage, while his opponent was just Core Formation Mid-Stage, not to mention three blows, perhaps the pockmarked guy could finish him in one?
“Heh… haha, since no one’s betting, forget it.”
The guard had no choice but to put away the spirit crystal, finding himself out of place.
“Wow!”
While collecting his spirit crystal, he heard the surprised cries of his companions.
“What?”
He quickly looked up to find the pockmarked face’s special move missed, unable to control his form, causing him to stumble and fall on the ground.
“With just this little skill, are you still calling yourself grandpa? I’m embarrassed for you!”
Ye Haochuan looked at the pockmarked face on the ground with disdain, taking two steps back as he didn’t want to fight unnecessarily.
He didn’t want to fight with the Ye Family, who might be slightly related to him. But the situation hadn’t improved simply because he had decided against it, as the pockmarked face didn’t intend to let him go.
“Ah… I won’t rest until I’ve killed you!”
The pockmarked face leapt up from the ground, slid out a spear in his hand, waved it, and thrust it towards Ye Haochuan’s neck. The sharp spearhead pierced the air, producing a sharp whistling sound.
“Damn it! Are you crazy?”
Ye Haochuan was startled, hurriedly sidestepped to avoid the spear, and growled, “What, are you brainless, or gutless to dare sneak attack me?”
Whoosh~
Suddenly, Ye Haochuan heard a gust of wind from behind and sensed a danger coming from behind him, targeting his back.
The hairs on his back stood on end, with his muscles twitching, alerting Ye Haochuan to impending danger.
“Damn!”
Ye Haochuan quickly bent down, dodging the threat from behind.
“Haha! This kid is actually bowing to that pockmarked guy.”
The guards behind, although seeing that Ye Haochuan was dodging the spear coming from behind him, still mocked him.
