Chapter 27: Ye Family Guard (First Update)

  He leaped out of the Luo family's courtyard and disappeared into the distance in a few flashes, amidst the bewildered gazes of passersby.

  Luo Jue's actions could only be considered a temporary impulse, and Ye Chen didn't put his mind to it either. He acted on a whim, never regretting what he did, even if it meant offending Ma Yan. Slowly turning around to look in the direction of Jian Qi Ge, at this point, all he could do for Li Shi Yue was just this much.

  Ye Chen suddenly looked stunned, his footsteps slowed down, gazing at the figure on the street behind him, and then smiled faintly, saying: "Still being stalked!"

  "Kid, those few auras aren't weak!" Huo Qilin's lazy voice slowly sounded beside Ye Chen's ear.

  "My identity cannot be exposed now, this matter needs to be settled!" With a smile, he accelerated and rushed into the dense forest outside the city gate, his figure shuttling in the forest like a ghost.

  In the dense forest, two middle-aged people stopped and looked around in confusion, exchanging suspicious glances. One of them bent down to touch the footprints on the ground, muttering: "Strange, why are there no footprints anymore!"

  The middle-aged man standing beside him looked around cautiously and whispered, "What can we do?"

  In a flash, he leapt onto the treetop. Ye Chen looked through the gaps between the leaves and was immediately stunned. The aura emanating from those two people was extremely familiar to him; it was clearly the aura caused by the circulation of the Ye Family's Wind God Technique. Moreover, their faces seemed somewhat familiar to Ye Chen, as if they were the Ye Family's guards.

  "It's really puzzling, why does the young master want to curry favor with Ma Yan and offend this mysterious youth!" One of the middle-aged men said with a puzzled expression.

  "The young master must have Ma Yan's help to increase his prestige in the family, so he naturally has to curry favor with Ma Yan!" A low voice sounded at this time.

  "Young master is really something! Apart from that useless person, the family only has one son, which is young master. The position of head of the household must be his, what is he still afraid of?"

  The two were also afraid of startling Ye Chen, and their voices were extremely soft.

  Young master, Ye Chen's heart moved slightly, and he smiled wryly. This Ye Tian was indeed ruthless, even though his own bloodline had not awakened in three years, he never relaxed, but unfortunately, he encountered himself. For three years, Ye Tian had been constantly striking at his own memories, and Ye Chen remembered them clearly.

  A gentleman does not take revenge, but Ye Chen never thought of himself as a gentleman, and the grudge must be avenged.

  Lightly grasping the hilt of his sword, he slightly moved his right foot and immediately a rustling sound came from the treetop where Ye Chen was.

  The sound was particularly jarring in the silent forest, and a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of the middle-aged man's mouth. He murmured to himself, "Still too green, not enough experience!" His body sprang into action like an arrow leaving a bowstring, shooting towards the direction of the branches as a streak of light, while the middle-aged man beside him also tightly grasped his sword and closely followed behind.

  A sword swept across, cutting off the tree trunk, and the tree trunk fell. A swift sword energy swept down from above, and two middle-aged men felt a huge pressure coming from above. The dazzling light stimulated the heartstrings of both people, and the sword energy seemed to lock them up, sweeping over.

  The two of them hastily retreated, but just as they did, a figure appeared behind them like a ghost, and the cold light of a sword quickly swept across their backs. Blood sprayed out like a fountain, followed by several mournful cries, and the two figures fell to the ground in disarray.

  Ye Chen's body landed lightly in front of the two, a glance at the panic on their faces, and he said calmly: "When did the Ye family guards become so incompetent?"

  Disheveled long hair covered Ye Chen's entire face, two middle-aged men looked at Ye Chen's profile with fearful expressions, for some reason that profile seemed extremely familiar, and a figure involuntarily appeared in their minds, that figure was unmistakably Ye Chen, both of them couldn't help but laugh mockingly, how could that good-for-nothing possibly be the terrifying young man in front of them.

  "This young brother, it's just a misunderstanding, we didn't mean to..." The middle-aged man said with a frown, enduring the scorching pain on his back.

  The sound stopped abruptly, and the clear wind blew past Ye Chen's long hair beside his face. Ye Chen's true face suddenly appeared in front of the two people, and they gasped in unison. Their faces were filled with unbelievable expressions, followed by a look of horror. When did the waste of the Ye family become so terrifying?

  Slowly raising his head, a clear and handsome young face appeared under the soft sunlight, with a hint of a cold smile at the corner of his mouth that fell into the eyes of the two people, undoubtedly a devilish smile.

  Her eyes narrowed, Ye Chen slowly walked towards the two with his sword in hand, the sound of the sword scraping against the ground echoing loudly. Every step fell into the ears of the two, undoubtedly a torture. At the moment when Ye Chen's last foot landed, the two finally couldn't bear to beg for mercy.

  "Kid, what's the point of keeping these two useless things!" Huo Qilin said with some puzzlement, in its eyes, these two middle-aged men were no different from ants.

  Ye Chen smiled wryly, in Huo Qilin's eyes, the initial seven layers of Wu might be useless, but not in Ye Chen's eyes. Even if it was useless, it still had value to be used. The cold sword swept across the chests of the two, and the chill of the sword made them both shiver.

  "You two are from the Ye Tian faction!" Ye Chen casually played with the hilt of his sword, causing the two to break out in cold sweat.

  Their lives were in Ye Chen's hands, so they didn't dare slack off and hastily nodded.

  "Tell me why you're following me!" Ye Chen said casually, his grip tightening slightly as he slashed at one of the burly men's chest, causing a trickle of bright red blood to fall. The middle-aged man's brow furrowed, not daring to hesitate for fear that Ye Chen would accidentally use too much force, and hastily informed him of the source of the matter.

  Ma Yan, as the deputy city master of Luoxia City, has a high prestige in the city, and some small families rely on Ma Yan.

  What Ye Tian values is Ma Yan's prestige and power, he not only wants to become the master of the Ye family but also wants to push the Ye family to the pinnacle, and Ma Yan undoubtedly becomes the object that Ye Tian relies on, naturally wanting to get closer to Ma Yan.

  Originally, Luo Jue was just Ma Yan's nominated disciple, which was not enough to make Ye Tian attach such importance to him.

  However, Luo Ze was still Ma Yan's illegitimate son. Ye Chen felt a bitter taste and couldn't help but laugh, never expecting that the person he had casually killed would be Ma Yan's illegitimate son.

  In the past, Ye Tian had sent a few guards to surround the Luo family. This time, the news of Luo Jue's death was undoubtedly passed on by those guards to Ye Tian. The two guards in front were among them. With an icy smile, the sword energy swept across, amidst the puzzled gazes of the two guards.

  One sword cut off the waists of two people, and blood gushed out from their severed waists. These two people had already seen through their true identities. Ye Chen would not let them go to report back. The pursuit by the deputy city master of Luoxia City was still unbearable for Ye Chen at this moment.

  If you don't want to expose your true self, then don't give others the opportunity to expose you, and dead men are undoubtedly the best choice.

  Stroking the yellowed pages and crystal bottle in his arms, Ye Chen smiled bitterly. Originally, he had only planned to sell the sword, but now it was still unsold, and several people had been killed. Suddenly, a series of breaking wind sounds came from afar, and Ye Chen swung his right arm, transforming the sword into a flowing light that shot forward.

  At the same time, Ye Chen also leapt back in the direction he came from, disappearing into the treetops after a few flashes.

  After a few seconds, three figures rushed over and looked at the corpse that was still bleeding. One of the elderly men exclaimed in shock: "It's actually the Leaf Family Guardian!"

  Before the words had fallen, the three figures vanished once again.
