Naturally, Xiaoxuan could sense Ye Chen’s confidence. It felt like the young man in front of him was ready to conquer the world.
However, Hong Tao was a saint grade alchemist after all, and Lin Qingxuan no longer existed. Even though the latter had reached the pinnacle of the path of medicine in ancient times, was there a point in comparing the two?
“Mr. Ye, there’s something you might not understand. Although Ancestor Lin’s medical skills are divine, with the passage of time, most of his medical and alchemy techniques and knowledge have long been lost. The people of the Medical God sect and Qingxuan Peak are no match for Hong Tao. Even if the patriarch personally came to the Land of Slaughter, it would be very difficult for him to beat Hong Tao in alchemy…
“Mr. Ye, why don’t I try to rush back to Qingxuan Peak as fast as possible? If the patriarch uses a secret technique, he might still have a chance.” When Ye Chen heard this, he smiled coldly. “Xiaoxuan, if you have nothing else to do, then hide for now. We’ll meet again the day after tomorrow.”
After saying that, Ye Chen headed toward the hotel.
Xiaoxuan wanted to say something, but swallowed his words.
Why did Mr. Ye not listen to his advice?
This was a matter of life and death!
Ye Chen soon arrived at the entrance of the hotel. Just as he was about to enter, he saw a wanted poster pasted on a bulletin board beside the entrance.
The man on the wanted poster was Wen Lifeng. Fortunately, his two daughters were not on the wanted poster.
Ye Chen then went to the Myriad Water Pavilion and found that it, as well as the adjacent buildings, were surrounded by experts, all of which exuded cold killing intent.
They were split up into groups, clearly searching for signs and traces of Wen Lifeng. Clearly, they had made the right decision to leave early. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to leave without causing a huge commotion, and he would have had to fight countless battles.
The atmosphere in the Land of Slaughter Grounds was extremely tense and somber.
When Ye Chen returned to the hotel, Wen Shishi and Wen Tingting quickly bowed and greeted him, “Mr. Ye.”
Their faces were still tinged red when they remembered what they tried to do last night.
Ye Chen glanced at the two of them and said, “I need to go into seclusion for the next two days. The two of you can stay in the room and not go out. Just now, I saw your father’s wanted poster outside, and I’m not sure if these people have discovered your existence.”
Wen Shishi nodded.
Wen Tingting frowned, but hesitated to speak.
“Do you have something to say?” Ye Chen asked
Wen Tingting nodded and bit her lip lightly. She said softly, “Mr. Ye, when I was eating downstairs just now, I heard many people talking about a masked man. This person seems to want to participate in the battle between Hong Tao and that person from the Medical God sect.”
She knew what Ye Chen’s main purpose was for coming to the Land of Slaughter. Based on what those people were talking about, she immediately guessed that it had something to do with Ye Chen.
That was because this was Ye Chen’s style of doing things.
Ye Chen felt that there was no need to hide it from the two of them, so he nodded and said, “It was me.”
Wen Tingting’s face turned pale when she heard Ye Chen’s confirmation.
“Mr. Ye, you really want to compete with Hong Tao in alchemy? I’ve heard my father mention him many times. Hong Tao’s reputation isn’t just limited to the Jade Green Mountains. In the entire Kunlun Mountains, he’s considered a heaven-shaking talent in this field. Mr. Ye, will this…”
Ye Chen went over to the bed and sat down cross-legged.
“I know thatyou all doubt me, but I don’t want to say anything now. In two days, I will show Hong Tao what the true path of alchemy is.” With that, Ye Chen closed his eyes and entered the Samsara Graveyard.
His trump card was Lin Qingxuan!
Wen Tingting and Wen Shishi looked at each other. Although they were puzzled, they chose to believe Ye Chen.
At the same time, the two of them drew their swords and stood guard by Ye Chen’s side.
Since Ye Chen was in seclusion, the only thing they could do was to do their best to protect him.
In an abandoned house west of the Land of Slaughter.
A kind-looking old man was guarding a cauldron. Flames raged under the cauldron, and a rich medicinal fragrance overflowed from it.
The old man’s clothes were completely soaked.
He slammed his palm firmly on the cauldron, not letting go even though it was burning hot, enduring the torment.
He could not rely on his true qi, as his Dantian was crippled.
If Ye Chen was here, he would definitely realize that this old man was his master, Duan Huai An.
At this moment, Duan Huai An was trying to refine an ancient pill.
In terms of medical skills, he could crush Hong Tao. However, in the field of alchemy, he was not as strong.
The only thing he could do was to improve as much as he could before the competition.
Suddenly, the cauldron trembled, and the tremors became stronger and stronger!
Duan Huai An’s arms were trembling wildly, but he still did not let go. He was using his divine soul to refine pills. This was the only way he could defeat Hong Tao.
Puchi!
Suddenly, Duan Huai An reached his limits, and a loud bang was heard. A burnt smell seeped out, and his body was sent flying.
He even spat out a mouthful of blood.
This was his 67th failure.
If he could not refine the ancient medicinal pill, it would be impossible to win the battle with that Hong Tao!
If he could not win, then how could he save the Medical God sect?
He needed to borrow power!
With the pursuit of the Dao Sect, the Medical God sect was being hunted down in the Kunlun Mountains. The only safe haven was the Land of Slaughter.
If he could defeat Hong Tao, he would be able to rebuild the Medical God sect here, and bring all of his disciples back together.
Even though they might struggle, at the very least the Medical God sect would survive.
He had let down the countless experts of the Medical God sect, and even more so, he had let down Lin Qingxuan, who had established the Medical God sect with his divine consciousness!
Duan Huai An wiped off the blood from the corner of his mouth and slowly stood up. Blood flowed down his clothes. Despite this, his aged face displayed an unyielding look.
Looking at the cracked cauldron, his eyes were a little lonely. He sighed, “Am I really overestimating myself? Is the Medical God sect really going to be destroyed in my hands?”
For some reason, a figure suddenly appeared in his mind.
This figure was cold and arrogant, and his eyes were filled with hatred and determination.
“I wonder how Ye Chen is doing in the secular world. Has he taken revenge for his parents? I reckon that the kid has been staying in Huaxia for the past five years. His life in the Kunlun Mountains was a living hell, so it’s time for him to enjoy life a little.”
“Back then, I hid my identity in Huaxia for a period of time and left behind too many debts of love. I’m afraid that this kid will be the same. He should have seen Xia Ruoxue, right? That old hag is too stubborn. Just because I left, she even erased the word Duan. From a certain perspective, Ruoxue’s surname should be Duan. Sigh…”
The old man thought of Ye Chen and some matters in Huaxia. A smile appeared on his pale face..
