Chapter 1081: Picking A Fight (Part 2)
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ye Chen amplified his voice using his true qi, so everyone heard it and gasped.
They stared at Ye Chen with wide eyes!
Ye Chen was very strong, and his talent in alchemy was exceptional. However, calling three Alchemy Masters trash in front of so many people was too much.
Was he crazy?
These Alchemy Masters were all Supreme Emperor realm experts, and each and every one of them had a wide and powerful network of support behind them!
Most experts would rather offend a more powerful Supreme Emperor realm expert than offend an Alchemy Master!
Everyone looked at Ye Chen as if he was a lunatic.
However, they realized that Ye Chen was calm and collected as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
They then turned to look at Alchemy Master Xingtian and the other two. Their faces were completely ashen at the moment, and everyone could sense a storm brewing as their boundless anger festered. It felt suffocating!
‘He’s dead, he’s dead. Ye Chen is dead for sure!’
This was the only thought in everyone’s minds.
Even if Ye Chen’s senior brother arrived, the outcome would not change.
Other than a small number of rogue cultivators, the members of the three major families around the arena stared at Ye Chen. Their gazes gradually changed.
The heads of the Cui, Wang and Li families quickly changed their tune. They were all thinking that instead of groveling to Ye Chen to buy the Ancient Hundred Spirit Pills, they might as well cooperate with the three Alchemy Masters to capture Ye Chen first. Then, someone would convince the three Alchemy Masters to cripple Ye Chen’s cultivation and lock him up so that he could refine pills for them for free for the rest of his life!
Who wouldn’t want a free alchemist who could produce six Ancient Hundred Spirit Pills in one batch?
Moreover, Ye Chen was definitely going to die since he provoked the three Alchemy Masters, so it was obvious which side they should choose. There were only benefits in this situation, and nothing to lose. Therefore, some of the clansmen from the three major families began to shout.
“We support the Alchemy Masters! Take Ye Chen down!”
“Ye Chen has belittled the three Alchemy Masters and deserves to be executed. However, I implore the three Alchemy Masters to take Ye Chen down and cripple his cultivation so that he can work for Danxu Town for the rest of his life. It’s also considered a service to Danxu Town!”
Wang Kun, the head of the Wang family, cupped his fists and shouted this out. He looked at Alchemy Master Kunwu and knelt on one knee. He said sincerely, “Respected Alchemy Master, Ye Chen is arrogant and deserves to be killed. However, he’s still the guardian appointed by Alchemy Master Ling Yi. Why don’t we take him down and cripple his cultivation so that he can refine pills for the martial artists of Danxu Town for the rest of his life?”
“This way, we won’t be wasting Ye Chen’s talent, and can also teach him a lesson and help Danxu Town at the same time. It’s the best solution to satisfy both sides.”
It was just a pretense. What he truly wanted was a free alchemist to refine free Ancient Hundred Spirit Pills!
It was Ye Chen’s own fault for offending the three Alchemy Masters!
“Patriarch Wang Kun is right!”
“I’ll also say something fair,” Li Lu, the head of the Li family, stood up and said with a serious expression.
His gaze swept across the five Alchemy Masters, the other four family heads, and the elders, guardians, and cultivators. He said, “Honorable Alchemy Masters, you’re all the guardians of alchemy, so you shouldn’t fall out because of Ye Chen.”
“In order for both sides to coexist peacefully, I also suggest that Ye Chen’s cultivation be crippled and that he kneel down and kowtow to the three Alchemy Masters to apologize.”
“Then, we’ll let him refine pills for Danxu Town’s martial artists. It’ll also be considered his atoning contribution to Danxu Town. The cultivators who consume the pills refined by Ye Chen will also protect Danxu Town. This will also achieve the goal of Alchemy Master Ling Yi in asking Ye Chen to protect Danxu Town!”
He said this in a dignified and righteous manner, but with the same ulterior motives as Wang Kun.
“Speaking of which, why are you idiots all so sanctimonious?”
“Wang Kun, Li Lu, Cui Yue? The three of you are very good. Unfortunately, today is your last day alive!” Ye Chen held the Stellar Sword in his left hand and the Nine Nether Sky Spear in his right. The Light of Reincarnation circulated around his body and his body was brimming with killing intent.
He walked the path of slaughter, so anyone who posed a threat to him must be killed. This was his principle!
The expressions of the others did not change after hearing this.
“Who do you think you are, Ye Chen?” Wang Kun snorted coldly. “A mere Daoyuan realm cultivator… Any elder of my family can kill you!”
He tilted his head to look at an elder. Then, he cupped his fists toward Alchemy Master Xingtian and said, “Alchemy Master, the Wang family is willing to capture this useless brat and shatter his dantian for Alchemy Master!”
Alchemy Master Xingtian nodded indifferently. He realized that it was better to cripple Ye Chen’s cultivation and let him refine pills for the rest of his life than to kill him immediately.
“Third Elder, go!”
“Be careful not to kill him. He’s still useful!”
Wang Kun reminded him as a devilish smile appeared on his lips, and he thought to himself, ‘Very soon, there will be free Ancient Hundred Spirit Pills to consume!’
‘Ye Chen, do you think you’re Ye Shitian? With your cultivation level, you can at most deal with eighth or ninth-level Daoyuan realm cultivators. You stand no chance against anyone stronger, much less the three families and the three Alchemy Masters!’
“Yes, family head!”
The third elder of the Wang family stood up and approached the arena stage slowly. His body was surrounded by an ancient aura. He was a half-step Supreme Emperor realm expert!
The blood energy in his entire body surged as his strength welled up rapidly. He held an ice saber in his hand and looked majestic. He stared at Ye Chen and said, “Kid, enjoy your last battle!”
“Stop!”
“Are you trying to rebel?” Alchemy Master Ling Yi stood in front of Ye Chen. His fingertips shimmered and a spiritual spear appeared in his hand. “If you want to touch Ye Chen, you’ll have to get past me first!”
“Alchemy Master Ling Yi!”
“I’m here on the orders of the three Alchemy Masters to cripple Ye Chen’s cultivation!” The Wang family’s third elder was not afraid of Alchemy Master Ling Yi either. With three Alchemy Masters standing behind him, he had complete confidence and would not back down.
Ye Chen walked out slowly and said softly, “Senior Ling Yi, I appreciate your kindness. However, there are some things that I want to resolve on my own.”
“But…”
“Trust me!” Ye Chen nodded lightly at Alchemy Master Ling Yi and continued, “Some factions need to be purged thoroughly!”
Alchemy Master Ling Yi knew that Ye Chen had made up his mind, so he could only nod slightly and take a step back, leaving the battlefield to Ye Chen.
