Chapter 913: They Belong To Us
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
This home was now unfamiliar to Ye Lingtian. The only thing that made it feel like home was the man in the coffin, who was the person he respected the most in his life.
This man had told him that he had to bear the responsibility and undertake the mission of the family, which was why he left the Kunlun Mountains to look for the Hall Master.
His father had said that the fortune of the family had run out, and only by finding the Hall Master could the family be reborn from the ashes.
Perhaps his father knew his fate from the beginning, but still chose to accept it. Now, the only thing Ye Lingtian could do was to continue moving forward and complete the family’s mission to follow and protect the Hall Master.
Ten minutes later, Ye Chen patted Ye Lingtian’s shoulder and said, “Lingtian, carry the coffin. Let’s bury Uncle. He couldn’t enjoy peace while he was alive, but he should at least be able to do so after his death, right?”
“From Elder Feng’s map, there’s a blessed cemetery in Seaside City that’s said to be able to shelter the deceased’s soul from pain. Let’s go.”
Ye Lingtian stood up and nodded solemnly. His gaze was firm as he placed the coffin on his shoulder with one hand. The weight was insignificant to a cultivator like him, yet it seemed to bear a different kind of weight.
Ye Chen and Ye Lingtian then headed outside. They left the family residence and were about to rush to the blessed cemetery when they realized that three old men were blocking their way, all of whom were origin king realm experts.
It seemed like they had been waiting here for a long time.
The two of them were wearing jade pendants, which were engraved with their affiliations.
Xu family! Situ family!
Although the other person did not have a jade pendant, he was wearing armor that was somewhat similar to Xiang Yingjie’s.
This person was definitely from the Punishment Bureau!
These three represented the three forces that had caused Ye Lingtian’s father’s death!
“Hall Master…” Ye Lingtian hesitated about whether to put down the coffin.
The reason why he hesitated was because in the Kunlun Mountains, once the coffin was carried on one’s shoulder and was about to be buried, one was not allowed to put it down midway, as it would be disrespectful to the deceased.
His father had already suffered enough, so he did not want him to suffer more indignity.
Ye Chen’s eyes were calm and emotionless. “Lingtian, step back and stay put,” he said, “You don’t have to do anything. All you have to do is to carry your father’s coffin without faltering! Can you do that?”
“But these people…” Ye Lingtian hesitated. He did not want to trouble the Hall Master.
“No buts. I’ll prove with my actions that your father made the right choice. He gave birth to a good son,” Ye Chen interrupted him.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Chen walked towards the three origin realm experts.
The Situ family’s elder had overheard Ye Chen and Ye Lingtian’s conversation and scoffed. “Don’t you know that this corpse can’t be buried without our permission? Or do you want to challenge the bottom line of our three families?”
“There’s no need to waste time with these two. Just wipe them out,” the old man from the Punishment Bureau said.
“The family head is urging us to investigate the whereabouts of that weapon. If we don’t obtain any news soon, I’m afraid that our heads will end up on the chopping block.”
When the elder of the Xu family heard this, he smiled and said, “My family head has sent me a message. The Xu family can withdraw from the fight for the weapon. However, these two people have offended my young ,oss. They must be captured and punished by my young miss!”
“These two are worthless pieces of trash, so go right ahead. Since your young miss wants them, I’ll be gentler so I don’t accidentally kill them. Haha!”
The three of them burst into laughter. In their eyes, the fate of Ye Chen and Ye Lingtian was a foregone conclusion.
What would these ants be able to do anyway?
At this moment, Ye Chen was extremely calm. A sword appeared in his hand.
Dragonslayer Heaven Sword!
However, the Dragonslayer Heaven Sword had changed a little. After all, this sword was sentient, so it was not too difficult for it to change its appearance.
“You won’t even let the dead off? Isn’t that too much? Today, I don’t want to kill anyone else. I just want to quietly send the deceased off. Leave and I’ll pretend that nothing happened.”
Ye Chen’s tone was calm, as if he was talking about an extremely ordinary matter.
After a short silence, the three old men laughed malevolently.
Even the elder from the Xu family, who had been told about Ye Chen’s strength, had a strange expression on his face. They were not origin realm cultivators like the ones that Ye Chen had killed earlier, but origin king realm experts!
He was speaking of sparing them?
What a joke! How ridiculous!
The Situ family elder took a step forward and spat out a mouthful of saliva in disdain. He smiled and said, “Are you trying to say that if we don’t leave, all three of us will die?”
“Yes.” Ye Chen nodded.
The elder’s smile became more and more interesting, but then it froze, and his killing intent was released.
The aura of an origin king realm expert descended upon Ye Chen like a mountain. Then, he took out a sword.
The sword suddenly expanded, and waves of sword intent swept out.
A peerless sword!
With a single sword strike, it could slay any cultivator below the origin king realm, let alone a trashy saint king realm cultivator!
The Xu family elder frowned. Did these two not agree to hand these two b*stards to the Xu family? Why was the Situ family elder using a killer move?
He was facing an ant!
It was impossible for Ye Chen to withstand this attack, and there might not even be a corpse left after it landed!
“Little b*stard, didn’t you say you wanted to kill us? Try and receive this sword strike! Let’s see what you’re made of! Haha!”
The Situ family elder’s face was malevolent and vicious.
Just as the sword strike was about to land, Ye Chen stabbed the Dragonslayer Heaven Sword into the ground.
“You’re not worthy of dying by my sword.”
As everyone looked on in disdain, Ye Chen took a step forward and unleashed a punch.
This punch did not contain any true qi. It was extremely pure and relied on the power of his physical body.
Then, he shouted, “Shatter!”
Using his fist to block a sword?
Unbelievable1
No one in Linhai City dared to do that except for Xiang Yingjie, who was also a body refining cultivator, and the peerless genius of the Mo family!
However, amidst the mocking gazes, Ye Chen’s fist collided with the sword, and something shocking happened!
Ye Chen’s arm did not fly off, there was no blood to be seen, but…
Kacha!
The Situ family elder’s sword was broken!
Furthermore, Ye Chen’s fist did not stop there, and slammed into the elder’s chest!
The power of the blood dragon and divine lightning coursed through his arm. This time, Ye Chen wanted to test the power of his body refining, blood dragon and divine lightning.
Just how much power could he unleash using these three?
The elder’s pupils widened. He could not believe what he was seeing!
Was this brat really a saint king realm expert?
When he vaguely saw traces of the blood dragon and divine lightning, he suddenly thought of someone!
Ye Shitian!
No, Ye Shitian was a cultivator, but the person in front of him was obviously a body refining cultivator. What was going on here?
