Chapter 64: The Evil Blood Clan

  P.S: Rolling for recommendations!

  After searching the butcher's entire body, Ye Chen didn't find anything valuable, only a few hundred taels of gold notes and loose silver.

  "Could my luck really be this bad? No, that bloodthirsty butcher said he obtained a large amount of wealth from the deceased sect disciples and also said he would leave Tianfeng Country to go to other countries. It's impossible for him to only have this little silver on him, so there must be something fishy going on."

  The unbelieving Ye Chen released his spiritual power, probing inch by inch on the Blood-handed Butcher's body.

  A moment.

  Ye Chen's eyes lit up, and he reached out to touch the waistband of the bloody butcher.

  Inside the belt there was a small bulge, shaped like a ring. When touched by hand, a faint spiritual wave was transmitted over.

  "It's a storage ring, I see. " Ye Chen couldn't help but admire the cunning and cleverness of the Butcher, hiding his most valuable items in his waistband. If not for his exceptional mental strength, he would have probably missed it and lost an opportunity to get rich.

  In the midst of a bustling crowd, Ye Chen's true energy surged to his fingertips. Without making a sound, he opened the Blood Butcher's waistband and retrieved the Storage Spirit Ring. He then put it away in his own ring without even looking at it.

  As for Tengyun Long's wealth, Ye Chen found it troublesome and didn't take it, to avoid being questioned by the Ziyang Sect's Master Xing at that time and having the other party's death blamed on himself.

  After finishing the search, Ye Chen finally took a closer look at the skull of the Blood-handed Butcher.

  The skull's face was hideous, with countless scars tangled together, the mouth and nose were indistinguishable, only a pair of eyes stared widely, fixed on Ye Chen.

  Shaking his head, Ye Chen took out a black cloth from the storage ring, stretched out his hand and sucked in, the skull of Butcher Bloodhand fell onto the black cloth, immediately wrapped it up neatly, tied a knot on top, wrapping the skull tightly, only a faint outline could be seen from the outside.

  With it, you can go to the Tengyun Grand Hall to receive the reward and record your personal achievement.

  "Junior hero, you can't just leave like this! My wine shop is completely destroyed and many of my customers are dead. What am I supposed to do?" The owner of the wine shop, a man in his forties with a nose full of tears, ran out and cried out in grief.

  Ye Dun furrowed his brow, this wine house was destroyed by Blood Hand Butcher and Teng Yun Long, the guests inside basically died in the shockwave of their battle, and he had no great connection with them. However, now that Blood Hand Butcher is dead, he inherited all of his wealth, so not compensating would be unjustifiable.

  A thought flashed through his mind, Ye Chen took out two gold tickets worth a thousand taels each and said: "There are 20,000 taels of silver here, enough to buy your wine tower and compensate for the innocent people who died. However, you must remember that only one thousand taels belong to you. If you dare to embezzle even a single penny, next time it will be you who dies."

  Wushi Town is located in a remote area, with old and dilapidated buildings. The value of a wine house does not exceed one thousand taels, but human life is hard to calculate. For the lives of wealthy families, tens of thousands of taels cannot be compensated. If it's a young master from a large family, then prepare to pay with your life! They have plenty of money.

  According to the national law of Tianfeng, for an ordinary person who died unexpectedly, compensation of 500 taels of silver is required for their family. This 500 taels of silver is enough for an ordinary family to live on for over ten years. Now, Ye Chen suddenly takes out 20,000 taels of silver, minus the 1,000 taels for the wine tower, and the remaining 19,000 taels can compensate for 38 households, but the number of people who died is far from reaching 38.

  It's probably the sorrow of the poor, compared to their family members' lives and 500 taels of silver, they would rather choose the latter. At least the latter can guarantee them a decade of peace and quiet, and they will have money for their children's marriages, and they can also renovate their home again.

  The tavern owner nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at grain, "Young master, rest assured, with so many people witnessing this, how could I dare to embezzle even one cent?"

  "I hope so." Ye Chen thought so too.

  Hand over the golden ticket to the other party, Ye Chen was about to leave when those Jianghu guests surrounded him.

  "Great skill, young hero! The Butcher of Blood Hands has killed countless people, and many have sought to take his life, only to be killed by him instead. Now that the Butcher is dead, I wonder how many are secretly grateful to you."

  It is said that a smiling face does not mean they won't hit you when you stretch out your hand. Ye Chen said, "You all have overestimated me, the heavens are just and will not let evil deeds go unpunished, even if I didn't kill him, someone else would have."

  "I don't know your name, young hero, but we admire you."

  "I'm Ye Chen, a disciple of the Liu Yun Sect. Sometimes you don't care about fame, but others will still revere you because of it. In the end, you can't escape this shackle, so I might as well be straightforward."

  "It turned out to be Ye Shaoye, under the Double Knife Guest Xu Shan."

  "Down with the treacherous Sun Chuan!"

  "Come on, Liu Wan!"

  ……

  For a time, the Jianghu guests reported their names one after another. They thought they were somewhat famous in this area and if they could establish a relationship with the inner disciples of Liuyun Sect, their prestige would be even greater in the future, and when they went out, others would look at them with admiration and give them some face.

  Ye Chen smiled bitterly in his heart, fame sometimes wasn't a good thing, troubles were numerous.

  It wasn't until they had finally gotten rid of those people that it was already late in the afternoon.

  Riding on a black horse, Ye Chen disappeared into the dust.

  On the desolate road, Ye Chen took out the Blood Butcher's Soul Ring from his storage ring and infused his soul power into it.

  Buzz!

  A faint, almost imperceptible ripple spread out, and Ye Chen saw the space within the Ling Jie.

  There is a space of about one square meter, equivalent to the capacity of a small room, filled with gold and silver, shining brightly, making it bright inside.

  To count them, there were over 10,000 taels of gold on the ground and tens of millions of taels of silver. Next to it was a stack of gold notes, which added up to more than 60,000 taels. The total amount exceeded 100,000 taels of gold, or hundreds of millions of taels of silver, an absolute fortune.

  To know that Lian Ye Chen's father only had a net worth of several hundred thousand taels, although he didn't need to spend his own money as everything was reimbursed by the family, it is enough to illustrate the facts.

  Apart from wealth and worldly possessions, a small bookshelf in the corner held several secret books.

  Ye Chen's mind stirred, and he retrieved the most mysterious book from the top of the bookshelf in his spiritual ring.

  The cover of the secret book was written with four shocking and blood-colored large characters - Tuyuan Blood Hand!

  Open and take a look.

  "Tú Yuán Xuè Shǒu, human-level top-tier martial skill, the only martial art of the seventh-grade sect of the evil blood clan in the country of Tuōluó. To cultivate it, one must absorb the rare Blood Seal Evil Qi between heaven and earth. The heavier the Blood Seal Evil Qi, the stronger the power. Once cultivated, it can easily break through the protective true energy of a martial artist of the same level and take their life."

  It was actually the martial art of the seventh-ranked sect, Xie Xue Sect, from the country of Tuo Luo. Ye Chen had his doubts, knowing that the Xie Xue Sect was one of the top sects in Tuo Luo, with overall strength even surpassing that of Fei Cui Valley. Its disciples were extremely evil, killing people without hesitation or scruples. But he didn't know how the secret manual of the butcher, Tu Yuan, had ended up in the hands of the butcher himself.
