Chapter 875: Cunning Fox
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Cui Yuan’s expression changed drastically, and he stopped moving toward Ye Chen. His expression was ferocious as he shouted angrily, “Little b*stard, who put you up to this? Why did you kidnap my son? Tell me what you want and the Cui family will definitely satisfy your demands!”
As soon as he finished speaking, two figures suddenly appeared.
They were Luo Wuya and Luo Yao!
When they saw Ye Chen and Cui Ruicheng on the roof, their faces were filled
with horror as if they had seen a ghost.
Luo Yao was initially a little surprised. After all, she had found Ye Chen!
However, when she saw the current situation, her face turned completely pale.
What was Ye Chen doing?!
Was he crazy? He actually dared to threaten Cui Yuan with Cui Ruicheng s life?
Cui Yuan was considered a formidable figure of authority in Danxu Town. Even if Ye Chen got away with the threats now, did he really think he could leave this place alive?
“Hmph!” Luo Wuya snorted, “Luo Yao, do you still think that I didn’t make the right choice to chase Ye Chen away? It hasn’t even been very long yet he actually did such a ridiculous thing? I know Cui Yuan well. Ye Chen will die today!”
“A kid who doesn’t know how to judge the situation and endure patiently won’t
be able to achieve anything, let alone join the Luo family!
Luo Yao’s face was pale. She thought of something and quickly went over to Cui Yuan. “Uncle Cui, my friend is on the roof. There must be a misunderstanding. I’ll ask him to let your son go immediately. He is still young, so he might have acted on impulse.”
Only then did Cui Yuan notice Luo Yao. With a wave of his sleeve, he forced Luo
Yao back a few steps.
“I was wondering why this kid looked so familiar. So it was you who brought him here! You want me to let him go? Dream on!”
“This kid must die! Also, after this kid dies, I’ll take this matter up with the Luo family as well!”
When Luo Wuya heard this, he naturally felt affronted. He stood in front of Luo Yao and said coldly, “Cui Yuan, please understand one thing. I chased Ye Chen out of the Luo Clan that day. Although my daughter brought him in, ever since that kid left the Luo family, he has nothing to do with the Luo family! If you dare to take your anger out on my daughter or my family, then you’ll have to go through me first.”
Cui Yuan’s eyes turned cold. He did not pay attention to them. He looked around and found that the experts of the Cui family had surrounded the place.
Ye Chen had nowhere to run!
Cui Yuan tooka step forward and looked at Ye Chen. “I’ll askyou one last time, what do you need in order to let Ruicheng go?”
Ye Chen glanced at Luo Yao and was slightly surprised. However, he quickly recovered and said calmly, “Since you didn’t teach your son well and he offended me, then I can only teach him on your behalf!”
“I can let him go, but I have one condition. Give me a token to enter the Core Tower!”
To Ye Chen, it was unrealistic for him to threaten the Cui family or request safe passage out of Danxu Town. His only chance was to enter the Core Tower!
With Lin Qingxuan behind him, he had absolute confidence in ascending the tower. More importantly, the Core Tower contained the energy required to activate more tombstones in the Samsara Graveyard.
Once he obtained the help of a new ancient mighty expert, was there still a need to fear the Cui family?
That expert would be able to destroy them with one finger.
Moreover, he still had a backup plan. Cui Ruicheng had taken that toxic pill earlier. If he wanted to kill Cui Ruicheng, no one could save him!
Upon hearing Ye Chen’s request, not only was Cui Yuan stunned, but so was Luo Wuya.
Why would a person who did not even know alchemy need the token to enter the Core Tower?
What was the point?
Inside the Core Tower, people who did not understand alchemy, if they were the slightest bit careless, they would certainly die!
Soon, Cui Yuan thought he had figured out the reason for Ye Chen’s actions. This kid probably knew that he could not get out of Danxu Town safely, so he was using the Core Tower as a refuge. If Ye Chen entered the tower, even the Cui Family would not dare to act rashly!
He narrowed his eyes slightly, but he did not have any intention of refusing. Rather, he happily agreed, “Alright, we just happen to have a Core Token! I’ll use this Core Token in exchange for my son’s life!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a token appeared and floated above his palm.
On the back of the token was a cauldron. It looked extremely ancient and somewhat translucent. It was definitely not an ordinary item.
He tossed it lightly and the token flew into Ye Chen s hand.
Ye Chen clenched his fists and felt a special sensation emanate from the token.
It had the same aura as the Core Tower!
There was no mistaking it!
“Ye Chen, shouldn’t you let my son go now?” Cui Yuan said.
Ye Chen narrowed his eyes and was about to push Cui Ruicheng away when Luo
Yao said, “Mr. Ye, be careful!”
The very next second, there was a sound of air being torn apart as a fiery red arrow flew over!
“Cloud Slashing Arrow!”
Ye Chen’s expression changed drastically. This was a famous assassination technique in the Kunlun Mountains!
If it touched one’s soul, the target would definitely perish, and only a peaklevel origin king realm expert or higher could use the technique.
It was extremely dangerous.
He had only heard about it from his master, but he never thought that he would see it here.
Cui Yuan, that old fox, had actually prepared an ambush even though he was negotiating with him on the surface.
The moment the token was given to him, it was the best chance to kill him!
Ye Chen used all of his strength to move his body, but the Cloud Slashing Arrow was too fast!
Puchi!
The Cloud Slashing Arrow still pierced his shoulder, which began to spurt blood. Although no vital parts were injured, Ye Chen quickly used his silver needles to treat his wound.
However, when he saw the wound on his shoulder, his eyes darkened.
There was poison on the arrow!
He even felt a trace of fatigue.
Had he been an ordinary cultivator, he would have already died. However, his bloodline was special, so it did not affect him too greatly.
He had to enter the Core Tower as soon as possible!
His killing intent surged as he looked at the injured Cui Ruicheng in front of him again. Since Cui Yuan had done this, he could not be blamed for what happened next!
The sword in his hand glowed crimson as he swung it mercilessly.
However, before the sword could land, Cui Yuan’s voice rang out from below.
He sneered, “Ye Chen, how about we exchange hostages now?”
Ye Chen’s sword stopped in mid-air. This was because when he looked down, he discovered that Cui Yuan’s saber was pointed at Luo Yao!
Luo Wuya, who was standing at the side, had obviously not expected Cui Yuan to target his daughter. His face was filled with anger!
“Cui Yuan, what the hell are you doing?! If you dare to harm my daughter, I will make your entire Cui family pay with their lives!
His voice was extremely cold!
Cui Yuan shrugged and said to Luo Wuya, “Brother Luo, I’m sorry. I didn’t have a choice. I didn’t expect that the Cloud Slashing Arrow wouldn’t be able to kill that kid. Ruicheng’s life is in danger, so I have to save him!”
Then, Cui Yuan looked at Ye Chen and said coldly, “Ye Chen, I know about your relationship with this girl. Will you exchange my son’s life for hers?”
Ye Chen glared at Luo Yao.
His plan did not consider the possibility of Luo Yao’s appearance here.
Luo Yao had saved him and the Medical God sect at Qianjue Plaza, and she had even brought him to Danxu Town.
No matter what, he had to take responsibility!
