Chapter 922: Humiliation
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Oh right, Hall Master, I should remind you. If you meet a person with four characters in his name, you must be careful!”

Ye Jinming’s figure dissipated after he finished speaking, and merged into the seawater as if he had never appeared.

“A four-character name?”

Ye Chen frowned. He had never met such a person before.

However, Ye Chen took this warning to heart. After all, this family had somehow divined the heavenly secrets and found him. It was not by luck that they had made it this far.

“Hall Master, let’s go,” Ye Lingtian said.

His strength filled him with confidence, and he now walked with a spring in his step.

Ye Chen nodded. He channeled his true qi toward his feet and followed Ye Lingtian as the pair headed for the surface of the sea.

…

At the same time, on the seashore.

More than a dozen armored Punishment Bureau experts were on standby.

Xiang Yingjie placed his hands behind his back and stared coldly at the expanse of water in front of him.

“What are those people doing at the bottom of the sea?” he asked his subordinate.

However, the subordinate shook his head.

“I don’t know the exact reason. However, this sea region is quite dangerous, so if they went deeper, there was definitely something attracting them there.”

Xiang Yingjie frowned. No one knew what he was thinking about. After a few seconds, he said, “Forget it. Let’s wait for these two guys to surface.”

At this moment, a few figures came dashing over at high speed.

Xiang Yingjie recognized the man in the lead and smiled.

“What brings the Eldest Young Master of the Situ family here? There isn’t much to see in this sea region.”

This fellow’s name was Situ Feng, and he was a sixth-level origin king realm expert. Incidentally, he was ranked 1,000th on the Heaven’s Declaration rankings!

It was not bad, but on the rankings, it was the last place.

Situ Feng’s sudden appearance here was probably due to Ye Chen.

“Xiang Yingjie, Ye Chen is here!” Situ Feng’s eyes narrowed when he saw Xiang Yingjie.

“You’re well-informed, but this place has been surrounded by the Punishment Bureau. The Mo family has given me full authority to arrest Ye Chen. I’m afraid that you’ve come here for nothing,” Xiang Yingjie said in an unfriendly tone.

“Ridiculous!” Situ Feng sneered. Since when did Seaside City become the territory of the Punishment Bureau? Since Miss Mo wants that kid, why can’t I help her?”

“Since the Ye family’s treasure has not been found yet, I can only start with this little b*stard called Ye Chen!”

“I heard that this kid was so bold that he actually dared to stand Miss Mo up! He’s really courting death!”

Xiang Yingjie ignored him. In his opinion, it was impossible for Situ Feng to do anything here. Situ Feng might be strong enough to take down Ye Chen and Ye Lingtian, but he would not allow it!

While the two of them were talking, waves surged on the surface of the water, and two figures gradually appeared.

Upon seeing them, someone suddenly exclaimed, “Young Master, Ye Chen has appeared!”

“Sir, Ye Chen has appeared!”

Countless eyes turned toward Ye Chen and Ye Lingtian’s direction.

A cold smile appeared on Situ Feng’s lips. He took the lead and stepped forward toward Ye Chen.

He knew better than anyone else that as long as he could take down Ye Chen, he would have a chance at establishing a relationship with the Mo family.

The Mo family controlled much of the cultivation resources in Seaside City, and was an ancient family. They also held the key to that place. In that sense, even the forces within the Kunlun Mountains wanted to curry favor with them!

Furthermore, the Mo family and the Han family were closely related, so getting into their good graces was equivalent to having the protection of two ancient families.

Despite seeing the group that was waiting for them, Ye Chen and Ye Lingtian still made their way to shore.

Ye Lingtian frowned. He gripped the hilt of his sword with his fingers. “Hall Master, they’re not friendly.”

Ye Chen nodded as he continued to make his way forward, completely indifferent to the approaching enemies.

“Ye Chen, did I say you could leave?” A cold voice rang out as Ye Chen was walking along.

Then, five cultivators blocked Ye Chen and Ye Lingtian’s path, releasing their killing intent.

“I don’t think we know each other.” Ye Chen stopped in his tracks, his eyes still fixed on the road ahead.

“You don’t know us, but we know you,” Situ Feng laughed, “You’re the first person in the entire Kunlun Mountains to stand Miss Mo up!”

Ye Chen only came to a realization when he heard the last part of the sentence.

Damn it! As Ye Lingtian’s matter was urgent, he did not even go over to greet her and explain the matter. He was indeed in the wrong regarding this matter.

Ye Chen could only shake his head helplessly. Since what was done was done, he could only apologize to Mo Ning when the time came.

However, what did this have to do with these people?

Could it be that these people were from the Mo family?

“I’ll naturally apologize to Miss Mo,” Ye Chen said after some thought.

Just as he was about to leave, the surrounding cultivators drew their swords and pointed them at Ye Chen.

“Little b*stard, where do you think you’re going? If I, Situ Feng, have not given you permission to leave, then you should stay put!”

As soon as Situ Feng finished speaking, a cold gleam flashed, and before he knew it, he felt a cold edge of a sword against his neck.

“If you dare to touch the Hall Master, I will cut off your head even if I have to risk my life to do so!”

Situ Feng turned around in shock and saw Ye Lingtian. His fury immediately erupted once he recognized who it was. This b*stard was the piece of trash from the Ye family who had left the Kunlun Mountains for Huaxia!

He actually dared to threaten him with a sword!

This was simply humiliating!

At this moment, Xiang Yingjie, who had been silent all this while, interjected, “The last place on the Heaven’s Declaration rankings is being threatened by an ant with a sword. I’m starting to doubt the prestige of the rankings. Situ Feng, I’m afraid your years of cultivation have gone to waste.”

Hearing this, Situ Feng became even angrier!

Without any hesitation, he extended his hand and grabbed Ye Lingtian’s sword!

“Get lost!”

He thought that the sword would shatter. However, it did not move at all!

He even felt as if his strength had been sucked into an endless abyss!

How was this possible?

Ye Lingtian’s eyes were firm. “Ask your dogs to put down their swords. If they dare point those things at the Hall Master again, I promise you that I will take your life!”

Ye Lingtian had every reason to act domineering at this moment, as the power of his ancestor’s blood essence had not disappeared yet!

Ye Chen was satisfied with Ye Lingtian’s current state. He glanced at the swords around him and waved his arm. “All of you, disperse.”

With this casual wave, something strange happened!

The six swords seemed to have gone mad as they broke free from their owners’ grasps and fell directly at Ye Chen’s feet!
