Chapter 2250 Manhunt
Chapter 2250: Manhunt Chapter 2250: Manhunt Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The middle-aged man wished to evade the attack, but he soon realized that he could not move at all. Even though he was a demon, the power of the Demon Emperor’s martial technique undoubtedly suppressed him! Boom! The finger struck the middle-aged man’s body, producing an earth-shattering sound. Blood sprayed everywhere, and he instantly disintegrated into a bloody mist. He was completely defeated! Ye Chen’s face turned pale. The energy within his body had been entirely consumed by that finger strike. The Heavenly Demon Finger was incredibly forceful! He fell to the ground and scanned the area for the little girl, but he soon discovered that she had vanished without a trace. He had no idea where she had gone. Ye Chen frowned and sighed in despair. It was exceedingly difficult to locate a little girl amidst a crowd. After unleashing the Heavenly Demon Finger, he sensed that his identity had been compromised, and he knew that he needed to leave this place as swiftly as possible. Ye Chen’s figure vanished. However, the battle had stirred up significant chaos among the demon race experts present. The Demon Emperor’s martial technique had resurfaced! It was enough to stir the hearts of many. Half a day later, Jun Mochen declared from the Heavenly Demon Palace that the entire Demon Race would pursue Ye Chen with the intention of killing him! At that moment, Ye Chen’s portrait had already circulated throughout the entirety of the Demon Race. If they encountered him, they would eliminate him on the spot. Due to Ye Chen’s arrival, the entire Demon Race was in disarray. In an inn, Ye Chen had already donned a mask. His portrait was plastered everywhere on the streets. Inside the inn, Ye Chen sat in a secluded corner. If he wished to resurrect the Demon Emperor, he still required the Demon Emperor’s blood essence, which was in the forbidden area of the Demon Venerable’s Palace. Even though he was wearing a mask, his identity would eventually be revealed within the Demon Race, so he had to act quickly. The sole option was to infiltrate the Demon Venerable’s Palace. Ye Chen resolved to take the risk and stealthily enter the palace to search for the Demon Emperor’s blood essence. This was his only path forward! Having made up his mind, Ye Chen did not delay any further. On one hand, he replenished his strength while on the other, he made his way toward the deepest part of the Demon Territory. In the past few days, Ye Chen had hastened his journey. Along the route, he had encountered various cultivators undertaking inspections, yet he passed them all without issue. In a bustling city, Ye Chen remained inconspicuous. This was the largest city of the Demon Race. A thousand miles away from the city lay the territory of the Demon Venerable’s Palace. Ye Chen intended to continue moving forward, but halted at a corner. Within a cage, three women and a little girl were confined. The women’s clothes were tattered, exposing their exquisite beauty. Several Demon Race experts were observing them. In a corner of the cage, the little girl tucked her head down, her eyes brimming with tears. “Yiyi?” The corners of Ye Chen’s mouth twitched. He had not anticipated that he would encounter Elder Kong’s granddaughter, Yiyi, at this moment. He had thought that she had perished in the explosion. Yiyi’s cultivation was not high to begin with. Back then, when she had vanished into the crowd, she had lacked the ability to defend herself, which was why she had been captured and sold. In the Demon Territory, one could purchase items by offering treasures of equivalent value. Naturally, if there was competition, it depended on who possessed greater financial resources. Ye Chen wished to avoid any conflict in this situation. If he revealed his power, Jun Mochen’s men would soon discover him. Although his injuries had mended somewhat, he felt no confidence in confronting Jun Mochen. He quietly approached and stated, “What treasures do you require? I will buy these three women!” The seller, a middle-aged man with a modest cultivation level, looked at Ye Chen with surprise. “I need three spacetime artifacts!” As soon as the middle-aged man spoke, the other warriors shook their heads. It was evidently not worth sacrificing three spacetime artifacts for three women. As for Yiyi, they completely disregarded her. She was merely a little girl. “Certainly,” Ye Chen replied without hesitation! There were still numerous spacetime artifacts in the Samsara Graveyard, so he was not concerned at all. When the other experts observed that Ye Chen did not even flinch at the price, they were secretly astonished. However, just as Ye Chen was about to retrieve the spacetime artifacts, a voice suddenly resonated. “I desire these three girls!” A young man emerged from the crowd, dressed in a brocade robe and wielding a fan. He appeared to be an elegant young master. Accompanying him were three guards, each radiating with blood and demonic energy. Upon seeing the young man, the crowd instinctively took two steps back. This was the young master of the City Lord’s manor, Wang Hu! The city lord had a son in his old age and spoiled Wang Hu immensely. Everyone in the city feared Wang Hu! Ye Chen frowned, but remained silent. “Send these three women to my residence immediately!” He did not even need to present the spacetime artifacts. As for Ye Chen, he was completely overlooked. He was merely a Star Aperture realm expert, and Wang Hu did not take him seriously at all. “Young Master, I have already made arrangements with him regarding these three women. Would you be willing to relinquish them?” At that moment, Ye Chen spoke up. If he had not wished to keep a low profile, he would have resorted to violence long ago. Wang Hu frowned and suddenly smiled. This was the first time he had encountered a cultivator who dared to negotiate with him. “Who do you believe you are? How dare you ask me to part with what I desire?” No one could take away what he wanted! The experts looked at Ye Chen as if he were a fool. Wang Hu was arrogant and domineering. Apart from his father, no one could instill fear in him. Now, a Star Aperture realm expert dared to defy Wang Hu. Was he not inviting his own demise? Ye Chen’s expression darkened as he cast a glance at the seller. “I am sorry, but these three women can only be delivered to the City Lord’s manor.” The seller took a step back. He was merely conducting a modest business and did not wish to provoke Wang Hu. Otherwise, he would inevitably face dire consequences. “What if I refuse?” Ye Chen’s gaze remained fixed on Wang Hu as he spoke directly. His voice grew increasingly cold. This was Elder Kong’s only granddaughter! No matter what, he had to protect her! “Brat, I believe you are courting death!” Wang Hu was so enraged that he laughed and summoned a guard forward. He did not need to utter a single word. The guard understood his intention. He strode toward Ye Chen. The aura of a Star Aperture realm expert erupted. He did not intend to engage Ye Chen in a fight at all. He merely sought to crush him with his aura. However, Ye Chen stood resolutely in place without flinching. There was no sign of pain on his face. The pressure from the Star Aperture realm guard was entirely ineffective against him. Wang Hu’s guard frowned slightly. He had not anticipated that he could not inflict any harm upon Ye Chen. “You are seeking death!” He was confident that he could incapacitate Ye Chen with a single punch. There was no change in Ye Chen’s expression. As the Star Aperture realm guard charged toward him, he merely took a step forward. An invisible killing intent coalesced, and at the moment of impact, a figure was sent flying backward.
