Master And Disciple

Hong Tao glared at Duan Huai An and Ye Chen and smiled malevolently.
“Today, the two of you are trapped beasts! So what if you won! In the end, you still have to become my human sacrifices!”
He had countless experts on his side, and dozens of them were saint king realm experts, so there was no way Duan Huai An or Ye Chen could escape his grasp.
They were dead for sure!
At this critical moment, Senior Feng, who had been silent all this while, spoke up, “Hong Tao, I have a request.”
Hong Tao narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Senior Feng.
Senior Feng reached out and pointed at Ye Chen.
“Hong Tao, this kid is extremely important to me and the Core Tower! Can you let this person off for my sake? This person will very likely become a top genius of the Core Tower in the future!”
When Hong Tao heard this request, he immediately shook his head, “No! This kid must die here! There is no room for discussion.”
Today, everything was going according to his expectations, but this kid had showed up halfway and messed with everything.
He was the culprit behind everything that went wrong today! He had to die!
Senior Feng narrowed his eyes. He was determined to protect Ye Chen! He took a step forward and faced Hong Tao face to face.
“If this kid becomes a member of the Core Tower, do you have the right to touch him?”
Moments later, he took out the jade pendant on his waist and offered it to Ye Chen.
“Kid, as long as you nod your head and acknowledge me as your master, I’ll give this jade pendant to you! This jade pendant represents the Core Tower! Holding this jade pendant means that you have the backing of the Core Tower, and that no one has the right to touch you! Not even the people from the Land of Slaughter!”
Hearing this, Hong Tao’s expression changed drastically.
If this kid accepted this jade pendant and became Senior Feng’s disciple, he really could not do anything about it!
The forces of the Core Tower were enough to wipe out the Land of Slaughter!
The Slaughter Grounds had survived for so many years, but this was because no top-notch mighty expert interfered.
If they were to act, he was doomed!
At this moment, he hesitated.
Duan Huai An also looked at the masked young man. He knew very well that the masked young man would not reject the offer. No sane person would.
The Core Tower was a place that countless alchemists yearned for, and was the right platform for this young man to pursue his limits.
Countless gazes turned to the masked young man, waiting for him to accept the jade pendant gratefully.
After all, this was his only chance to live!
However, an indifferent voice suddenly rang out.
“I’m sorry, but I already have a master and a sect. I won’t join the Core Tower!”
Rejected! What?!
The olive branch that made countless people envious was rejected by this young man just like that!
Was this guy crazy?
Did he not know what was good for him?
Senior Feng’s expression was a little ugly. Something that he had thought was impossible had just happened.
“Are you sure?”
“I’m sure,” Ye Chen glanced at Duan Huai An and said with absolute certainty.
Senior Feng heaved a long sigh. He had already given Ye Chen a chance. It was Ye Chen who did not cherish it.
He shook his head and walked off the stage.
After taking a few steps, he suddenly thought of something. He stopped and said, “I am very curious. What kind of master and sect could make you reject the Core Tower without hesitation?”
Ye Chen looked at Duan Huai An, the corners of his lips curling into a smile.
There was no killing intent in this smile, and it was warm.
“Many years ago, I was nothing but a piece of trash. Countless people despised me. My family was destroyed and I was on the verge of death.”
“An old man saved me by accident. He helped me dispel the haze and gave me hope. He even brought me onto the path of cultivation.”
“At that time, I wasn’t sensible. There was only hatred in my heart, and I didn’t have the heart to cultivate the things he gave me. I even blamed him for not being able to give me better.”
Now that he thought about it, he was really ignorant and ridiculous at that time.
“It was only recently that I found out about some things in the past. It’s not that Master didn’t give me the best, but rather that he can’t give it to me.”
“His past was far more painful than mine, and he placed all of his hopes on me.”
“Later, Master asked me if I could let go of my desire for revenge. I said no. He didn’t say anything and brought me to see the sects one by one immediately.”
“He put down his face and dignity and begged those sects to take me in.”
“That was the first time I felt warmth in this strange place.”
“This warmth made me realize for the first time that this old man who doesn’t like to talk actually cared for me.”
“It was also from that moment that I made up my mind that from then on, this old man would be my master!”
“If anyone dares to touch him, I’ll definitely slaughter their entire family, and even sect, or even wipe out the entire Kunlun Mountains!”
His cold words resounded throughout the entire square!
Senior Feng’s lips trembled. He wanted to say something, but in the end, it turned into a sigh.
With such a disciple, what else could a master ask for?
At this moment, no one noticed that someone was trembling and his eyes were red. It was Duan Huai An!
He stared at the masked young man!
He knew this story all too well!
Five years ago, he saved Ye Chen at East Coin Lake in Huaxia!
During those five years, he had placed all his hopes on Ye Chen, hoping that this disciple of his would revive the Medical God sect!
However, Ye Chen was determined to take revenge. He wanted to help, but because his dantian was destroyed, he swore never to touch martial arts again!
He could only bring Ye Chen to the hundred sects, and beg them to take his disciple in. However, each and every one refused!
He regretted it, and had always felt that he had let Ye Chen down.
He even thought that Ye Chen thought that he was useless as a master.
However, at this moment, hearing the masked young man’s words, countless emotions surged through his heart like a flood.
He finally understood that the stubborn youth did not blame him!
From the moment he and Ye Chen left the last sect, unsuccessful in being recruited, the relationship between master and disciple had completely solidified!
This masked young man was Ye Chen!
He was absolutely certain!
His disciple was back, and had returned with heaven-defying alchemy techniques!
Five years ago, he had saved that kid and protected him from the hundred sects, but now, he was the one who was saved.
Furthermore, he went even further and swore to destroy anyone and any sect that harmed his master.
The old man smiled. He looked at Ye Chen’s determined eyes and muttered, “You brat, since you have returned, why are you still hiding like this… I’m afraid that the best thing I’ve done in my life was to save you from Huaxia’s East Coin Lake.”
“However, even if your Alchemy Dao is heaven-defying, the predicament before us isn’t something that can be solved with Alchemy Dao.”
“You should have accepted the invitation from the Core Tower… Sigh!”
