Chapter 480: Undercurrent!
“In other words, Master Xiao deceived me as well?”
After Tang Yuanshan finally accepted it, he asked again, “But even so, how can Master Ye be sure that Master Xiao isn’t dead?”
“This is just a guess of mine.” Ye Chen shook his head slightly and asked, “Elder Tang, do you know how long Xiao Buyi has lived for?”
“I don’t.” Tang Yuanshan smiled bitterly. “In fact, I don’t know much about Master Xiao. I only know that he has always been alone and unrestrained. It’s not an exaggeration to describe him as an idle cloud and a wild crane.”
After saying this, he pondered for a moment and said, “But if I were to take a guess, 30 years ago, Master Xiao was at least 90 years old.”
90 years old?
Ye Chen secretly frowned.
If Xiao Buyi had not died, then he would be 120 years old now. For cultivators, it was normal for them to live to this age, especially for a senior like Xiao Buyi in the spell world.
“Forget it. Whether this person is dead or alive, it means that we’ll never have the chance to meet him again.”
Ye Chen shook his head and did not dwell on this matter anymore. Instead, he pulled out the token that he had taken out from the coffin earlier and examined it carefully.
There was a twisted word written on it. It seemed to be the word ‘Si’! He actually could not recognize what this item was.
From the side, Qi Qingfeng suddenly said, “Master Ye, may I take a look at this item?”
“Of course!” Ye Chen passed the token to him.
Qi Qingfeng held the token in his hand and looked at it carefully. His expression kept changing as if he recalled something. After a while, he returned the token to Ye Chen and said in a deep voice, “Master Ye, to tell you the truth, our sect also has a token like this. It’s exactly the same, but the font on it is different.”
As soon as he said this, Ye Chen’s eyes lit up and he could not help but ask, “Really?”
“Absolutely!” Qi Qingfeng took a deep breath and said with certainty, “It was left behind by my master, Master Guigu, before he died. It has always been enshrined in the ancestral hall. The word carved on it is ‘Yin’!”
Si Yin?
Yin Si?
Ye Chen said without batting an eyelid, “I wonder if you can lend it to me to have a look.”
“Since you’ve requested, of course, I’ll oblige.”
Qi Qingfeng smiled and said, “I’ll get my disciple to bring it over later.”
Tang Yuanshan and the others looked at the token in Ye Chen’s hand with puzzled expressions. “Master Ye, what’s this?”
“I’m not sure either, but it’s a relic Xiao Buyi left behind in the coffin. I think it has a deeper meaning,” Ye Chen gave a perfunctory reply. When he looked again, he saw Yin Shi looking at the inside of the coffin.
He frowned and asked, “What are you looking at?”
“Master, I’m looking for Master Xiao’s relic!” Yin Shi did not dare to hide the truth and said immediately, “It’s said that there are two great treasures in the magical world of Hong Kong: the Kowloon Plate and the Soul Catcher Mirror. They are Master Xiao’s and Master Guigu’s treasures respectively.”
Ye Chen shook his head though. He had already checked the coffin and found out that there was no Kowloon Plate there.
After the Tang family finished collecting the bones, they boarded a car and returned to the Tang residence. Qi Qingfeng helped the Tang family prepare the ancestral hall and placed the bones down. Afterward, he took out his phone and contacted his disciple.
Tang Yuanshan changed from his usual calmness and knelt down in front of Ye Chen without caring about his old age, “Mr. Ye, thank you. First, you saved the Tang family. Then, you saved this old man, and finally, you saved the Tang family’s ancestral grave!
“All these deeds deserve this old man kneeling to you!”
As Tang Yuanshan spoke, he glanced at Tang Ning, who immediately pulled out a thick document and handed it to Ye Chen. “Master. Ye, this is the contract for the transfer of the Tang family’s property. As long as you sign it, it means that from now on, all of the Tang family’s wealth will be in your hands!”
Ye Chen did not try to be pretentious. He quickly scanned through the document and saw that there was nothing wrong with it, so he signed his name. Tang Ning then placed another bank card on the floor. “Master, this overseas bank card has 20 billion in cash in it. The password is on the back of the card.”
Ye Chen accepted the card without hesitation.
After careful calculation, he had received 100 billion in cash during his trip to Hong Kong. If word got out, it would definitely cause a huge commotion.
Just as he was about to speak, he lifted his head and looked outside the Tang family’s villa. Two golden flames appeared in his eyes.
“Who is it?!” Yinshi also noticed it. His face darkened and he immediately turned into a black shadow and dashed out.
Everyone was shocked by this sudden turn of events. Tang Yuanshan stood up from the low mountain and could not help but ask, “Mr. Ye, this is…”
“It’s nothing. There’s just a guy hiding in the dark spying on me. Yinshi has already gone after him.”
Ye Chen shook his head slightly. His Divine Consciousness had been covering the entire villa from the beginning to the end. Therefore, he had sensed that person the moment he appeared. However, the other party was rather vigilant. After sensing that his whereabouts had been exposed, he immediately retreated.
A moment later, Yinshi returned. However, his expression was a little unsightly. “Master, this subordinate of yours is incompetent. I allowed the other party to escape!”
The aura of battle still remained on his body.
“Why?” Ye Chen was surprised. Yinshi’s cultivation level was not low. In fact, it was even higher than Shen Tiannan’s. Other than himself, there was actually someone else that Yinshi could not handle.
Even Qi Qingfeng, who was at the side, was shocked.
Yinshi said with a guilty expression, “The other party’s cultivation level wasn’t actually high. However, it was very strange. He was able to turn into a shadow and didn’t have a physical body. I failed to investigate for a moment and allowed him to escape.”
“Who is this person? Not only did he spy on us, but even Master Yinshi also couldn’t do anything to him.” Tang Ning’s face was filled with shock. As she spoke, she turned around to check the surveillance footage and tried to find out the other party’s identity. However, she could not find anything on the surveillance footage.
“There’s no need to investigate.” Ye Chen sneered, “It seems that apart from Yinshi and the dead Sage Xuanfeng, there are other forces that have their eyes on us.”
Yinshi and Sage Xuanfeng were targeting the Tang family for Xiao Buyi’s grave. Given that their motive was obvious, who could guarantee that there were no other outsiders who coveted Xiao Buyi’s ancestral grave?
Other than this explanation, there was nothing else.
As he thought up to this point, Ye Chen’s eyes flickered repeatedly.
“Xiao Buyi, oh, Xiao Buyi, what kind of person are you that you can actually make so many people go crazy for you!?”
Just as he finished speaking, everyone was shocked.
At this moment, Qi Qingfeng’s phone rang. He picked it up and his expression could not help but change. He immediately looked at Ye Chen and said, “Oh no, Master Ye, my disciple was attacked on the way here!”
Before this, he had already contacted a female disciple of his in Hong Kong and asked her to bring the token from the Guigu sect to Ye Chen. However, he did not expect his disciple to be attacked on the way over.
“Did your disciple say where she was attacked?” Ye Chen’s expression gradually sank.
Someone had spied on them, and in the next moment, Qi Qingfeng’s disciple was attacked!
It was obviously premeditated!
It seemed like that mysterious guy was coming for the token!
