When Luo Yao heard the words ‘Medical God sect’, a hint of surprise flashed across her bright eyes, and it took her quite some time to recover from her shock.
She had guessed that Ye Chen and Ye Shitian had some connection, but that they were not too close.
Otherwise, Ye Shitian would not have allowed Ye Chen to come to the Land of Slaughter alone. After all, coming here at this time was undoubtedly courting death.
Ye Shitian must have treated Ye Chen as some kind of tool.
As for why he did that, she did not know, but there was definitely a reason.
After all, Ye Shitian was a ruthless, stubborn, and murderous expert. He could do anything!
As for the sect behind Ye Chen, she believed that it would be a top sect in the Kunlun Mountains, and one that focused on alchemy, or perhaps one of those hidden forces.
In her imagination, Ye Chen had left that faction and somehow met Ye Shitian. Ye Shitian was powerful and could at least protect Ye Chen for a while, so it would be a win-win relationship.
Ye Chen would collect herbs and refine pills so that Ye Shitian could spend more time on cultivation. On the other hand, Ye Chen would receive Ye Shitian’s protection.
Luo Yao was very confident in her guess, but she did not know that she was overthinking things when she met Ye Chen.
The first reaction of most people would be to realize that Ye Shitian and Ye Chen were the same person. However, she came up with a convoluted story based on her assessment of Ye Shitian.
However, the problem now was that Ye Chen professed to be from the Medical God sect, which could hardly even be considered a sect in the Kunlun Mountains, let alone a martial arts sect.
How could the Medical God sect nurture such a talented alchemist?
More importantly, Ye Chen was going to represent the Medical God sect in the Kunlun Mountains’ grand event!
Was he crazy?
However, if Ye Chen came from the Medical God sect, then one thing was certain. Ye Shitian had come to the Land of Slaughter to save Duan Huai An because of Ye Chen!
There must be some kind of deal between the two of them!
“Mr. Ye, are you really from the Medical God sect? And you’re going to represent the sect to participate in the competition?” Luo Yao asked suspiciously.
Ye Chen nodded. He had thought that Luo Yao had stayed in the Land of Slaughter Land for so many years that she did not know much about what happened in the Kunlun Mountains. Now, it seemed that she knew more than he did.
Luo Yao saw the certainty in Ye Chen’s eyes and made a decision. Then, she said, “Mr. Ye, we should be considered friends now.”
“Since you’re a friend, I hope Mr. Ye will listen to Luo Yao’s advice. Mr. Ye’s talent lies entirely in alchemy. You’re different from Ye Shitian, whose martial strength exceeds his mastery of alchemy. In comparison, Mr. Ye was born for alchemy. If Mr. Ye wants to have authority and power in the Kunlun Mountains, there’s no need for you to cultivate martial arts. When your alchemy reaches a high enough level, countless experts will definitely revere you.”
“Those two guardians are the best examples. They’re not afraid of me, but rather the alchemy family behind me.”
This was true for her. However, alchemy was only a supporting act for him. What he pursued was martial arts and medicine.
Five years ago, he had been kicked out of the arena before he even stepped onto the stage, and he had thus embarrassed himself, his master, and the sect. He would definitely pay for this humiliation personally.
Moreover, this competition was crucial to Ye Chen. He did not just want to announce his comeback throughout the Kunlun Mountains, but also to lead the Medical God sect to become a top-notch sect!
This would be the first step, and no one could stop him.
“Miss Luo, I appreciate your kindness, but this matter is related to my personal grudge. I have to go,” Ye Chen said.
Luo Yao knew that her words were ineffective, so she could only sigh and say, “Since Mr. Ye is so determined, I won’t dissuade you anymore. When the time comes, I will bring my family to cheer for Mr. Ye.”
“Also, it’s already late. Mr. Ye, why don’t you rest here for a while? I’ll personally bring Mr. Ye out tomorrow morning. No one will dare to stop you then.”
“Alright.”
Ye Chen agreed.
At the same time, he had Luo Yao send someone to send a letter to Wen Shishi and her sister, telling them to wait at the entrance of the Land of Slaughter Land tomorrow. The three of them would leave together.
The Land of Slaughter would only become more dangerous in the future. If the two sisters stayed here, they would be exposed one day. Therefore, he had to bring them out as soon as possible.
The night passed silently.
However, that night, every corner of the Land of Slaughter was searched, but there was still no news or signs of Ye Shitian.
Ye Shitian seemed to have vanished into thin air.
The next day, in a certain garden, the sky had just brightened.
The Lord of Slaughter had his hands behind his back as he listened to the news and updates that his subordinates kept sending him.
He did not sleep the whole night, not even cultivating, hoping to hear news about Ye Shitian.
However, after searching the entire Land of Slaughter for an entire night, there was still nothing!
Bang!
The Lord of Slaughter’s eyes narrowed, and the atmosphere instantly turned cold.
“A bunch of trash! You can’t even find a single person! Could it be that Ye Shitian can tear through space?”
A furious roar was unleashed, and the sound waves from this roar were so powerful that they injured the internal organs of some of the people in the garden.
One of his subordinates with a lower cultivation even spat out a mouthful of blood.
“Milord, please calm down!”
One of the guardians stood out. Because he only had one eye left, he looked a little ferocious.
“Milord, do you think Ye Shitian has used some secret technique to leave the Land of Slaughter?”
When the Lord of Slaughter heard this, he snorted coldly, “Impossible! I’ll use a technique to completely seal the Land of Slaughter. Not even a mosquito can leave, let alone him! Unless Ye Shitian is a legendary expert and can tear through space with a wave of his hand, it is impossible!”
The one-eyed guardian fell into deep thought. After a long time, he raised his head and said seriously, “Milord, if Ye Shitian was still in the Land of Slaughter, he wouldn’t have been able to hide from everyone’s eyes. Some of our people might have been killed, but none of our people have even gone missing.”
“Do you think a mighty expert personally took Ye Shitian away?”
“After all, he has such strength at such a young age, and dared to step into Hong Tao’s mansion at such a critical time. The faction behind him must definitely be extraordinary!”
“What if there’s a top-tier faction behind him? If we provoke him again and again, won’t it be disadvantageous to you, Milord?”
Upon hearing this, the Lord of Slaughter took a step forward, and a slap landed mercilessly on the face of the guardian who spoke, sending him flying like a kite with a broken string!
“Are you doubting me?”
“So what if Ye Shitian has a top-notch force backing him? He touched what’s mine, so even if he runs to the ends of the earth, I will make him kneel in front of me!”
The one-eyed guardian knew that he had angered the Lord of Slaughter. He quickly knelt down and begged, “Please don’t be angry, Milord. I was just speculating. After all, the incident with Ye Shitian this time is too big..”
