Chapter 699: Surrounded

“Tell me, what happened over these past few days. Don’t skip anything.”
Ji Lin ate a potato chip and felt that her sister was too straightforward. She should have at least humored her question, right?
She pursed her lips and said, “Don’t you care about that Huaxia kid?”
Hearing this, Ji Siqing’s eyes narrowed. “You’re not talking about Ye Chen, are you?”
“Of course!” Ji Lin snapped her fingers and smiled. “Ye Chen has come to the Kunlun Mountains! Also, if it weren’t for Ye Chen, I probably wouldn’t have made it back!”
Ji Lin’s words were so shocking that Ji Siqing’s expression changed. She could not think of any situation where that would be possible.
Even if the two of them met, Ye Chen’s strength was insignificant in the Kunlun Mountains. How could he save Ji Lin?
Ji Lin had been waiting a long time to say everything, so she continued, “Sister, the last time I saw him, he was a qi transformation realm cultivator. However, he has not reached the immortal ascension realm! I suspect that this kid must have had a fortuitous encounter given how fast he has broken through!”
“However, that’s not the most important thing. This kid has actually gained an excellent master of formations for no reason! His attainments in formations can be said to be monstrous! Even the formation master genius Bai Zhanyuan was unable to contend against him!”
“What?!”
Ji Siqing’s calm face was filled with shock.
It was an indisputable fact that Ye Chen had mortal roots, and it was something all the sects in the Kunlun Mountains knew.
Logically speaking, if this kind of person wanted to cultivate, it would be difficult for them to ever reach the immortal ascension realm in their lifetime.
He did not expect Ye Chen to succeed, and at such a young age. However, Ye Chen had now mastered formations as well?
As her younger sister, Ji Lin had seen many formation master geniuses, and would not casually use the term monstrous.
Most importantly, Bai Zhanyuan was involved. There were all sorts of legends about Bai Zhanyuan in the Kunlun Mountains! His name was synonymous with formations and talent.
In that case, Ye Chen’s attainments had to be absolutely shocking!
Ji Siqing’s chest heaved as she grabbed Ji Lin’s hand.
“Start talking. From the moment you left, I want to know everything.”
Feeling the pressure on her hand, Ji Lin put down the chips and told her everything that had happened in the past few days.
From Bai Zhanyuan to Ye Chen’s appearance, to Ye Shitian’s sudden appearance to kill Bai Zhanyuan and that mighty expert, to the matter of Qingxuan Peak.
However, although Ji Lin had learned a lot of things about Ye Chen, she did not know much about the details.
Even now, Lin Ruhai was still puzzled as to why the patriarch was so respectful to Ye Chen.
Ji Siqing’s brows were furrowed, and surprised filled her eyes.
She had never expected Ye Chen, who had only left for half a year, to return in such a domineering manner. She had helped Ye Chen countless times and did not expect anything in return, but now it seemed that the latter’s appearance had helped the Ji family out.
It was unbelievable, but she had to admit it.
“Did this guy really obtain some fortuitous encounter in the past six months?”
“It’s a pity that he’s only reached the immortal ascension realm now. His ascent to power might be too late. Even if Qingxuan Peak and the Medical God sect are behind him, it’ll be very difficult for him to change anything in the Kunlun Mountains.”
“The Kunlun Mountains are ultimately dominated by martial arts, and the Medical God sect has declined. Without the protection of a powerful force, it will be difficult for Ye Chen to make a name for himself in the Kunlun Mountains, unless one day, Ye Chen does something like Ye Shitian and shakes the Kunlun Mountains.”
Ji Lin saw Ji Siqing muttering something and asked, “Sister, why do you think Ye Shitian saved Ye Chen and me?”
“Is it because he wants to use me to get close to you? If Ye Chen and Ye Shitian were standing in front of you at the same time, who would you choose?”
Ji Siqing ignored him and walked towards a side hall. “Lin Lin, only a child like you would make a choice.”
“How can Ye Chen, an immortal ascension realm cultivator, compare to Ye Shitian, who has a chance of breaking through to the origin realm? However, for today’s matter, the Ji family owes Ye Chen a huge favor.”
“If I had to choose, I would choose Ye Chen. Even though he has mortal roots, I have a feeling that there’s something special about him… Perhaps once that special thing blooms, something amazing will happen.”
At the same time, in the Blood Alliance’s dungeon.
In the darkness, two figures approached the light.
Ye Chen’s masked figure made for a shocking sight. The blood had dried up, but he was still exuding cold killing intent.
Soon, Ye Chen brought Ye Tianzheng outside.
He stopped in his tracks and raised his head.
The experts of the Blood Alliance were all waiting outside.
Ye Chen showed no fear. Instead, he smiled.
He had already guessed that it would not be so easy to leave.
The experts guarding the Blood Alliance’s dungeon had been killed. In addition, all of the elders who had entered the Blood Alliance’s dungeon had died. If the Blood Alliance still could not react in time, it would be laughable.
In fact, the majority of the remaining experts of the Blood Alliance were likely to be here to deal with this unknown threat. Of course, if Qingxuan Peak’s patriarch were here to intervene, things would be much simpler.
However, Ye Chen could not wait that long, and neither could his father.
He looked at a burly man, who was standing in front of everyone and exuding the strongest aura.
If his guess was correct, this person should be the leader of the Blood Alliance, Jian Ruxue!
This was also the mastermind behind everything that had happened to his family. The Blood Alliance controlled the Lin family in the capital, imprisoned his parents in the Ghost Prison, and wanted to obtain the Ye family’s secrets.
Their eyes met, and it felt like sparks flew in the air.
Jian Ruxue stared at Ye Chen.
“Who are you and why did you take Ye Tianzheng away? Why did you kill the golden-robed elder? Do you know how precious a golden-robed elder is to the Blood Alliance?”
Naturally, he did not know that Ye Chen was behind the mask, so he could only ask.
“I’m taking Ye Tianzheng away today. Do you have any objections?” Ye Chen sneered, “If there is, I will kill my way out. If not, then your Blood Alliance can still exist in the Kunlun Mountains.”
Ye Chen was brimming with confidence!
He was fearless!
As soon as he said that, the crowd fell silent for a few seconds, and then burst out laughing.
“Kid, I’m afraid you’ve misunderstood the situation. The place you’re standing on belongs to the Blood Alliance!”
“Besides, you’re alone with a half-dead ordinary person. Do you actually think you can leave this place safely?”
“Haha, this person is probably a lunatic! Does he really think that his meager strength is enough to get him out of this situation?”
“He is an ant in front of the Sect Master!”
“Sect Master, I, Fang Zheng, request to fight. I will definitely make this kid submit!”
“Sect Master, leave this little b*stard to me. Give me five seconds and I’ll break his limbs!”
Animated shouting rang out from the crowd. They could all see Ye Chen’s injured state and sense his cultivation. This kid was either a transcendent realm or saint realm cultivator.
They did not know the exact details because the killing intent Ye Chen exuded overshadowed everything. However, they could tell that his cultivation definitely would not exceed the saint realm!
