Chapter 2498: Chapter 2472: When the Wood Stands Out in the Forest, the Wind Will Destroy It! (Second Update) Chapter 2498: Chapter 2472: When the Wood Stands Out in the Forest, the Wind Will Destroy It! (Second Update) He fears Ye Chen, but would the higher-ranking Lei family?
At this moment, Ye Chen, right under everyone’s gaze, starts walking towards the high platform!
“Stop!”
Lei Youwei shouted in a low voice, his face darkening as he looked towards Ye Chen, his aura faintly released, saying, “Kid, what are you doing?”
Ye Chen faced him expressionlessly, undaunted by Lei Youwei’s aura, and said lightly, “Saving someone.”
Playing with auras?
Haha…
He carries within him the origin energy of Tu Lanxin, even if a Disaster Slaying Expert releases their aura, it couldn’t affect him in the slightest!
Upon hearing this, Shen Yong’s eyes lit up, indeed Ye Chen was here to save someone!
“Saving someone?”
Lei Youwei sneered, Ye Chen’s potential indeed terrified him, but however terrifying, he was just a Sealed Gate existence, did he think that by killing a mere Great Void’s Yu Yan, everyone should yield the way for him?
Although Shen Yong’s sudden withdrawal was mysterious, but what if a trash sect master like Shen Yong backed down?
He, Lei Youwei, is simply not on the same level as Shen Yong.
And this ignorant youngster in front of him, actually thinking of rescuing someone from the Lei family’s hands?
Is his brain flooded?
Lei Youwei looked disdainfully at Ye Chen and said, “Kid, there are people beyond you, skies beyond skies. You do have some talent, but don’t tell me you think that just by killing a small Great Void existence, the Lei family would step aside for you?
Ignorance really does sometimes bring courage. You have no idea how fearsome my Lei family is. Do you understand? The Lei family is an existence that reigns above the Shenxuan Sect, do you grasp that? If I wanted, I could obliterate thousands of Sealed Gate existences in an instant!”
“Although you proved that Lin Yaqin was framed, you wouldn’t naively think that my Lei family wouldn’t pursue it, right?
This wretched woman hurt my son, she must die! Today my Lei family wants her dead, and no one can save her! Who do you think you are to rescue someone from the Lei family’s hands? If it wasn’t for your bit of talent, you’d be a dead man by now, understand?”
Lei Youwei did not strike immediately, merely because someone as outstanding as Ye Chen often has some powerful backers, and he did not want to offend these forces.
But, that assumes Ye Chen knew his place and wouldn’t push his luck. What if Ye Chen insists on saving Lin Yaqin?
Then he can die alongside Lin Yaqin.
Indeed, making connections with a genius is more advantageous than killing one, but that’s only when there are no conflicting interests!
Now, Ye Chen wants to save Lin Yaqin, meaning a conflict with the Lei family is imminent!
He, Lei Youwei, would be afraid of a mere Sealed Gate existence?
What a joke!
Everyone in the square looked towards Ye Chen, wondering how he would reply.
At that moment, after hearing Lei Youwei’s speech, Ye Chen actually laughed…
A laugh full of contempt, mockery, and disdain.
Everyone was stunned. What was Ye Chen laughing at?
Was what Lei Youwei said incorrect?
What’s there to laugh about?
Lei Youwei’s face looked somewhat ugly, growing darker…
Ye Chen’s laugh was rather irritating.
After his own admonishment, not only did Ye Chen not bow in apology, but he even sported such a smile?
For many years, no one has dared to laugh like this in his presence?
Just then, Ye Chen slowly began to speak.
He looked into Lei Youwei’s eyes and said only six words.
But these six words stirred up huge waves in the square of Shenxuan Sect!
What did Ye Chen say?
With a faint smile on his face, he said: “What are you pretending to be?”
Was whether Lin Yaqin was framed really important to Ye Chen?
His pressing questions to Shaoyou were solely not to let the villains go unpunished; as for the Lei family?
Ye Chen had never taken them seriously from the beginning.
Even if Lin Yaqin wasn’t schemed against, even if she wasn’t severely injured, but instead had killed Lei Yunpeng outright, so what?
It was Lei Yunpeng courting his own death!
He still intended to rescue Lin Yaqin!
The disciples of Shenxuan Sect were utterly fearful, shocked, and incredulous!
Merely thinking about what the consequences would be for proclaiming those six words to such a powerful family head, made them break out in cold sweats!
Yet, Ye Chen had said those six words right in front of Lei Youwei!!!
Their minds were about to explode!
This genius martial artist who had slain Yu Yan was simply too reckless!
His audacity reached the sky’s end!
Even Shen Yong was watching Ye Chen with disbelief; he had considered the possibility of Ye Chen clashing with Lei Youwei, but never like this!
Ye Chen’s audacity far exceeded his expectations!
However, regarding Ye Chen’s actions, he secretly shook his head.
To him, Ye Chen seemed foolish!
He guessed if Ye Chen had brought up the backing behind him, treated Lei Youwei with courtesy, given Lei Youwei some face, and provided a way out, it might have been possible to make the Lei family retract and release Lin Yaqin!
If Ye Chen was somewhat intelligent and good at navigating the situation, this matter could clearly have been resolved peacefully!
But now?
Mocking Lei Youwei in front of so many people, so direct and mercilessly! That was inviting a fight to the death!
For someone like Lei Youwei who had been in a high position for so long, how could he tolerate such mockery?
What use is being a martial arts prodigy like Ye Chen?
No matter how talented, it couldn’t save his arrogance!
Such a person had no chance of growing at all!
Martial artists, although respecting martial arts and valuing strength above all, are still human and need to interact with others! The ability to manage relationships can sometimes truly determine one’s fate!
You may not need strong social skills, but! You should at least know the basics of when to advance or retreat, right?
Outstanding trees in the woods, the wind will definitely destroy them!
Ye Chen, this isn’t just being outstanding anymore!
This is straight-up, wanting to grow to the heavens!
Can it avoid being broken?
However, this scene was precisely what Shen Yong delighted in seeing!
Ye Chen, having destroyed Shenxuan Sect’s hope and killed his most favored disciple, he naturally hoped for Ye Chen to die, the more miserably the better!
Otherwise, how could he satisfy his hatred? Even better, to have Ye Chen’s backing clash with the Lei family, culminating in a deadly conflict!
Although this time Shenxuan Sect was already preparing to execute Lin Yaqin and apologize to the Lei family, ultimately, they had still offended the Lei family!
Without the Lei family being exterminated, he would not feel at ease!
If Ye Chen’s backing were to annihilate the Lei family, it would be like killing an enemy without lifting a weapon, thereby removing a huge threat to Shenxuan Sect!
He knew he dared not act against Ye Chen, but Lei Youwei was different!
Don’t be fooled that both are Disaster Slaying; there’s a huge difference in strength!
The origin energy within Ye Chen might intimidate him, but it absolutely wouldn’t intimidate Lei Youwei!
And at this moment, Lei Youwei was already in a state of extreme rage, with no possibility of holding back!
Ye Chen, destined to die!!!
