Chapter 26: The Nun Goes Crazy (Second Update)

  "Slash!" Ye Chen's figure darted towards Luo Jue like a ghost, his hand grasping the sword as true energy surged out like a tidal wave. The long sword stirred with Ye Chen's movements, transforming into an endless rain of swords that shot towards Luo Jue. The scattered stones on the ground were all reduced to ashes under the impact of the sword rain.

  Luo Jue's face paused for a moment, the giant sword stirred similarly, but in the next instant, a look of astonishment surged up Luo Jue's face.

  A dazzling white light flashed between heaven and earth, Ye Chen's sword transformed into a flowing light that heavily struck Luo Jue's right arm. Enduring the pain in his right arm, Luo Jue swung his long arm, and his giant sword met the incoming sword energy head-on. However, with each successive collision, Luo Jue gradually became desperate.

  A vast sword aura surged towards Luo Jue like a ferocious beast's torrent, and Luo Jue only felt a blackness before his eyes before losing consciousness.

  Everyone stared at Luo Jue, who was like a hedgehog, with his entire body pierced by sword energy, and blood spraying wildly in all directions. Looking at Ye Chen's calm face, everyone involuntarily took a few steps back, feeling a chill run down their backs.

  Luo Jue, although only a nominal disciple of Ma Yan, has strength that is not exceptionally powerful, but still enough to be considered a top-notch figure.

  He died under Ye Chen's sword with just one encounter, and the gaze of the crowd towards Ye Chen couldn't help but add a hint of fear.

  Ye Chen was extremely familiar with the bloody scene before him, his face calm and collected. He slightly shrugged his shoulders, drew out his sword, turned to a burly man and said indifferently: "Take me to your Luo Family Gang's treasury, don't tell me that your esteemed Luo Family Gang doesn't even have a treasury!"

  Dahan was stared at by Ye Chen's pitch-black eyes for a moment, and his heart was frightened. Cold sweat kept dripping down, and he cowered: "Yes, yes."

  Dragging his almost immobile right leg, Ye Chen led the way with a flattering expression, while the big men lying on the ground around him scrambled to crawl away. On the snow-white bluestone, streaks of bright red blood flowed, and Ye Chen just let out a faint sigh. As for the secret room of the Luo family's gang, Ye Chen had also come up with it on a whim.

  Although the Luo family's power is not top-notch, they must still have funds and martial arts skills, which are exactly what Ye Chen lacks right now.

  Dahan apparently still holds a high position in the Luo family, and seems to be very familiar with Luo Jue's secret room. After turning several corners, he walked into a beautifully landscaped garden, coming to a fake mountain. Just as they entered the fake mountain, Ye Chen felt something was off, looking at Dahan's footsteps, his pace had become somewhat lighter, and a cold smile crept onto the corner of his mouth, secretly on guard.

  The big man walked to the front of the fake mountain, slightly bowed his head and patted a stone that protruded from the front of the fake mountain. However, just as he had patted it down, a small iron sword flew out of a small gap in the fake mountain. The big man was about to leave when he found himself locked by an astonishing aura, unable to move even half a step. With his eyes wide open, he watched as the iron sword pierced into his heart. As the big man raised his head, all he saw were Ye Chen's pitch-black pupils.

  "Kid, you're quite vigilant!" Huo Qilin couldn't help but praise, Ye Chen's astonishing observational skills left it in awe.

  "Hmph, even an ordinary person would have the opportunity to kill someone, being an assassin means always being on guard!" Ye Chen slightly shrugged his shoulders and pushed away the big man's corpse. He looked towards the center of the fake mountain, where a shockwave was spreading, accompanied by a series of ear-piercing "ka-ka-ka" sounds coming from within the fake mountain. A stone slab covered in moss slowly sank into the interior, causing the entire fake mountain to shake.

  He cautiously looked at the stone block covered with moss, Ye Chen jumped through the gap in the stone, and a pungent smell came from it. He frowned and looked into the empty cave, where only a wooden box lay quietly on the yellowish rock. He eyed the box warily, took a few steps forward, and used his sword to split open the lid. A sword mark ran across the middle of the lid, which broke into several pieces and fell to the ground.

  A refreshing fragrance wafted out of the wooden box, and Ye Chen couldn't help but cast a curious glance. He found that there were still quite a few things inside the box: a yellowed book with pages worn thin, scattered purple crystal coins, and a crystal bottle filled with fruit. Ye Chen's first glance fell on the yellowed book, gazing at the bold characters dancing across its cover, which read: "Sword Dance!"

  "Damn it, is this all there is in the entire Luo family's warehouse?" Ye Chen couldn't help but feel a wave of disappointment, rubbing his temples and cursing.

  Picked up the yellowed book in the box, ignoring the musty smell that came from it, carefully placed it in his bosom. Then he shifted his attention to the crystal bottle, on which some mysterious patterns were engraved. He casually picked up the crystal bottle, which was only the size of a palm, and a cool sensation came from it, making people feel extremely comfortable.

  "Little Fire, do you know what this thing is?" Playing with the crystal bottle, Ye Chen pointed to his mouth and asked somewhat helplessly.

  The delicate figure of Huo Qilin slowly emerged from above the Kirin seal, and Ye Chen's eyes widened in surprise as he gazed at the crystal bottle in his hand. He couldn't help but tease: "Youngster, the thing inside this crystal bottle is quite famous, it's often sought after by nobles!"

  At these words, Ye Chen's eyes lit up in front of him, and he must have been pursued by the nobility, not an ordinary thing. He asked: "What is it after all!"

  Hu Qilin deliberately teased Ye Chen's appetite, remaining silent for a while before slowly saying: "This fruit has an extremely awesome name, I'm sure you must have heard of it!"

  "What's your name?" Ye Chen was taken aback for a moment. He could count on one hand the number of peerless treasures he knew of.

  "Nuns are crazy too!" Ye Chen was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing, looking at the fruit in his hand in disbelief, muttering: "Nuns are crazy too! Intense!"

  The nobility's pampered sons are notorious for their debauchery, and this nun, who is also crazy, is called the ultimate extreme by those pampered sons.

  Although the Ye family was strict in managing their household, Ye Chen had often heard of this name, but he did not expect that its true nature would be a fruit.

  With a somewhat helpless shake of his head, Ye Chen hadn't expected Luo Jue to be so crazy about collecting nuns either. Suddenly the entire fake mountain cave shook violently, and with a slight change in expression, he leapt out of the cave in a flash of light. Immediately after, a loud rumbling sound came from behind him, and the majestic fake mountain collapsed with a deafening crash.

  "Good grief, the person who originally designed this artificial hill cave was really ruthless! One little mistake and you'd get crushed inside!"

  Huǒ Qílín floated beside Yè Chén's body, and immediately transformed into a flowing light that shot into the Qílín seal.

  Ye Chen's heart was also filled with a sense of dread, if he had hesitated for just a moment earlier, he would have been buried in the fake mountain cave. He slightly raised his eyes, gazing at the sun that was gradually moving westward, thinking that by now, Ma Yan should have received news of Luo Jue's death. This place is not suitable for staying for long, slowly turning around to face the Luoshacheng City Lord's mansion, he said calmly: "Ma Yan! I wonder if you can guess who killed your son, the waste in your eyes?"

  When Ye Chen arrived at the courtyard, he found that the original members of the Luo family gang had disappeared, and even the more valuable items in the main hall had been moved away. Some young people wearing tattered clothes were constantly searching for something around the main hall, and some people were even exaggeratedly picking up small knives to pry open the crystal coins on the floorboards. Ye Chen smiled slightly and walked towards the already damaged gate.

  "Halt, young one! Didn't you hear me?" A voice that was both loud and arrogant came from behind Ye Chen. Seeing no one around him, Ye Chen understood that the "young one" referred to himself. He stopped in his tracks and slowly turned around, looking at the owner of the voice.

  A tattered and worn-out set of clothes, disheveled hair, a face that was once arrogant but now turned ashen upon seeing Ye Chen's profile. The legs trembled non-stop, the arrogant tone turned extremely panicked, and he immediately fell to the ground, trembling as he said: "Spare my life! I didn't intentionally offend you!"

  Ye Chen slightly shrugged his shoulders, didn't think much of it, and immediately jumped out towards the Luo family's outer courtyard.
