“Sir, you can’t be joking, right? The Old Master…”
Ye Chen did not have much patience and simply said, “Get out of my sight in one minute. Also, tell Cui Yuan that if I don’t see him in half an hour, I’ll personally deliver his son’s head to his door!”
“Get lost!”
In the next moment, a huge wave of energy swept out, and the old man disappeared without a trace into the distance, leaving only Ye Chen and Cui Ruicheng alone in the room.
It was extremely quiet.
Cui Ruicheng wanted to say something, but when he saw Ye Chen’s eyes, he did not dare to say another word.
He was really afraid, and could only cower in a corner silently.
After so many years in Danxu Town, he had never suffered such humiliation!
He was a future top-notch alchemy master, and was the one slated as the person most likely to break the record of the Core Tower!
However, he was now at the mercy of a foreign saint realm brat. If word got out, he would definitely become a laughingstock in Danxu Town, and the humiliation might even affect his Dao heart.
While waiting, Ye Chen closed his eyes and carefully examined the changes in his body.
He realized that something had entered his pores and fused with his bloodline. After that, his body had transformed, and he felt as if he had been reborn.
As for the specific reason or cause, he did not know.
The Creation Body Refining secret technique might be incomplete, but it was definitely not ordinary.
Mo Ning came from the ancient era, so she naturally would not give him anything bad. Perhaps he would ask her about it later.
Danxu Town, Cui family’s residence, the Cui family’s ancestral hall.
At this moment, Cui Yuan was offering incense. He was extremely devout, and this was something he did every day.
The Cui family had a history of 800 years in Danxu Town. During its glory days, it had become the number one alchemy family in Danxu Town, surpassing the Luo family.
Unfortunately, there were some things that could not be controlled.
Although the Cui family was still the number one family in Danxu Town, they were in a precarious situation.
Fortunately, his son, Cui Ruicheng, possessed some talent in alchemy. This was Cui Yuan’s only hope.
When Cui Ruicheng broke the record of the Core Tower, it would be time for the Cui Family to take control of Danxu Town.
When that happened, they would crush the Luo family!
At this moment, the door of the ancestral hall was pushed open, and a voice rang out.
“Master, something big has happened!”
Cui Yuan’s eyes narrowed as he swung his palm in the air. The palm strike ruthlessly slammed into the body of an old man, sending him flying!
“How dare you! This is the ancestral hall of the Cui family. What qualifications do you have to enter?”
The old man panicked and quickly knelt outside the ancestral hall. “Old Master, the matter is too serious, which is why I behaved like that. Please calm down…”
Cui Yuan snorted coldly, waved his sleeves, and walked out.
He closed the door of the ancestral hall and looked down at the old man.
“Speak! What is it? Did something happen to the Core Tower again?”
The old man shook his head and looked at Cui Yuan with fear. “Master, Young Master is in danger! He was kidnapped. The kidnapper said that if he does not see Master within half an hour, he… He will personally bring the young master’s head to your doorstep.”
What the hell!
Cui Yuan’s expression changed drastically as he lifted the old man up!
“Do you know the price of lying to me?”
The old man shookhis head fiercely. “Master, we’re running out of time. Let’s go quickly. Otherwise, Young Master won’t make it if we’re late!”
Cui Yuan did not dare to gamble on his son’s life. He grabbed the old man tightly and rushed out, moving at top speed.
Wherever he went, anyone who blocked his way was instantly thrown aside. No one could stop him!
Meanwhile, Luo Wuya and Luo Yao were returning from the Core Tower in a carriage, preparing to head home.
Suddenly, a gust of wind swept across the carriage.
Luo Wuya’s expression changed slightly. He thought that it was an assassin, but when he drew his sword and was about to attack, he saw who it was and stiffened.
It was Cui Yuan!
He had known Cui Yuan for many years and knew him better than anyone else. Very few things could make him so flustered, so something big was definitely happening!
“Dad, what’s wrong?” Luo Yao stuck her head out, curious.
Luo Wuya narrowed his eyes and jumped off the carriage. He headed in the direction where Cui Yuan had disappeared.
“Luo Yao, come with me! Hurry!”
No matter what it was, the Luo family had to find out what it was, as it very likely concerned the situation in Danxu Town!
Meanwhile, in the hotel.
Ye Chen could already sense an aura surging toward him. The spiritual energy in the surroundings churned and fluctuated.
He stood up, put out the cigarette, and walked toward Cui Ruicheng slowly, taking out a pill at the same time.
This pill was part of a batch of pills refined with the help of the Immortal Lord, and was called the Indestructible Body Consuming Pill. It was a highly toxic pill that the Immortal Lord had developed over the years.
In ancient times, the Immortal Lord used this pill to restrain some experts.
After the Immortal Lord disappeared, no one else could refine the antidote for this pill except him, even in Danxu Town, where alchemy was commonly practiced and cultivated.
“Open your mouth,” Ye Chen said calmly.
Cui Ruicheng noticed the problem when he saw the pill in Ye Chen’s hand. His alchemy talent was heaven-defying, so he was extremely sensitive to pills and herbs.
He could tell from a glance that the pill in Ye Chen’s hand was unusual.
It was colorless and odorless. He even discovered that the surface of the pill actually emitted a black aura.
This kind of pill was unheard of. There was definitely a problem here!
He shut his mouth tightly. However, Ye Chen snorted and slapped Cui Ruicheng’s chin open, and the very next second, the pill entered his mouth accurately.
Cui Ruicheng wanted to spit out the pill, but he found that the pill melted as soon as it entered his mouth. He felt as if a ball of black gas had drilled into his body and was controlling everything.
“What did you feed me?” Cui Ruicheng asked loudly.
Ye Chen smiled without saying a word. He grabbed Cui Ruicheng and headed toward the roof of the hotel.
At this moment, a violent wave of energy suddenly descended, and a shocking roar was heard.
“Brat! Hand over my son!”
Cui Yuan’s blood-red eyes were fixed on Ye Chen. He pulled out a saber and was about to charge at Ye Chen when he realized that a sword had appeared in Ye Chen’s hand, which was then placed against Cui Ruicheng’s neck.
Everything was going according to Ye Chen’s plan.
He looked down at Cui Yuan and said, “What do you think? Is your saber faster or is my sword faster?”
As soon as he finished speaking, a bloody slit appeared on Cui Ruicheng’s neck, and blood oozed out.
