Chapter 700: Mad Southern Ye, Get Over Here and Die!
“What I mean is, doesn’t that Ye also have a netherworld token? You guys still have one more chance, am I right?”
The entire hall fell into silence following what Duan Tianlang said.
The eyes of the few ancient families led by the Xiao family beaming with smiles.
They had already discussed this beforehand. They would first take the netherworld token from the Luo family and make the five ancient families, led by the Luo family, withdraw from the ghost s.h.i.+p.
On the other hand, how could they pretend that they did not know Ye Chen killed the people from the five ancient families? The reason why they did not flare up was because they were worried that the five ancient families would retaliate if they did anything to Ye Chen.
That was why they targeted Ye Chen in the end. They decided to use ‘fairness’ to take the netherworld token from Ye Chen.
In that case, Ye Chen would no longer be of any use to the Luo family and the five ancient families without the netherworld token. When they attacked, Ye Chen would die!
Hearing what Duan Tianlang said, Xiang Nan and Liu Yunfeng, who were about to leave angrily, stopped in their tracks. They could not help but reveal strange expressions.
To them, Xiang Heng’s failure was purely due to their recklessness. If Ye Chen’s netherworld token could be given to them as a bet, they might have a chance to make a comeback.
Xiang Nan was about to speak when he realized that.
However, Luo Shuiyao rejected him without even thinking, “Duan Tianlang, don’t think I’ve no idea what you’re planning. You’re just trying to do the same thing again and take Ye Chen’s netherworld token. Let me tell you, no way.”
She glanced at Ye Chen and said, “Ye Chen, let’s go. Don’t fall for their trap!”
She was afraid that Ye Chen would agree on impulse.
Losing the netherworld token was secondary!
Once Ye Chen agreed to the challenge, the other party would send a powerhouse like Duan Hu to kill him ‘accidentally’. What else could she do? Could she fall out with the five ancient families over a dead person?
“Let’s go!”
Tong Shuhui sighed softly and led the group away.
Seeing this, Duan Tianlang and the others felt that it was a pity.
However, at the next moment, Ye Chen turned around and looked at Duan Tianlang and the rest. A smirk appeared at the corner of his lips, “Are you guys sure you want me to partic.i.p.ate in the challenge for the netherworld token?”
Luo Shuiyao’s pretty face changed immediately. She looked at him in disbelief and said, “Ye Chen, are you crazy? This is a matter between the ancient families. It has nothing to do with you!”
Perhaps it was because she was too emotional, her tone was a little harsh. She was trying her best for Ye Chen, but he did not understand. That made her angry and disappointed.
Not only her, even Tong Shuhui, Xiang Nan, and the rest were shocked.
Everyone could tell that the Duan family was targeting Ye Chen on purpose. Even the dumbest person would not agree to it.
However, Ye Chen was tempted!
Tong Shuhui frowned and reminded him out of kindness for Luo Shuiyao’s sake, “Mr. Ye, I advise you to know your limits!”
Xiang Nan and Liu Yunfeng looked at each other and saw a hint of disdain in each other’s eyes.
‘What an idiot!’
Xiang Heng’s strength was considered outstanding among the younger generation of the Xiang family in Shang Santian. However, he still lost to Pei Xuehu.
Ye Chen had merely killed Xiao Yang and a few beginner-level martial venerables.
Where did he get his courage from?!
Ye Chen was not angry at Luo Shuiyao’s reprimand. He could tell that she was doing this for his own good.
He smiled slightly and raised his eyes to look at Duan Tianlang and the rest again, “Let me ask one more question. Are you sure you want me to partic.i.p.ate in the challenge for the netherworld token?”
“Are you saying that you’re ready to fight us?”
Duan Tianlang’s icy gaze met Ye Chen’s. He said with a plastic smile, “Let me make this clear. The netherworld token is yours. If you want to partic.i.p.ate in the challenge, you’ll have to do it yourself. Moreover, we don’t have beginner-level martial venerables here. They’re all intermediate-level martial venerables. After all, beginner-level martial venerables are too useless…”
Before he could finish, Ye Chen interrupted him and smiled lightly, “I’ll take it. However, I won’t stop until I kill you!”
Following his words, the hall fell into dead silence!
Duan Tianlang’s pupils constricted violently. He did not expect Ye Chen to make a request whereby he would not stop until he killed his opponent!
Luo Shuiyao was shocked too. Her pretty face was flushed red, “Ye Chen, you’ve really disappointed me. Why do you have to court death?”
At that moment, Xiang Heng, who had fainted earlier, had woken up at some point. He smirked coldly and said, “Yaoyao, he wants to die. Why are you still persuading him?”
“Shut up!” Luo Shuiyao scolded him.
Xiang Heng was immediately displeased, “Did I say anything wrong? This guy has only killed a few beginner-level martial venerables. How dare he think that he is a match for an intermediate-level martial venerable? Isn’t he courting death?”
He finally found an opportunity to attack Ye Chen. He said like a machine gun, “I don’t know why you’ve protected this guy so many times. If you go on to be like this, he’ll drag you down sooner or later.”
Tong Shuhui and the rest nodded secretly when they heard that.
Ye Chen glanced at him, “Why haven’t you killed yourself yet?”
“You…”
Xiang Heng was instantly enraged, “Ye, if you know your limit…”
Ye Chen said again, “Why haven’t you killed yourself yet?”
Blergh!
Xiang Heng was furious. He felt something in his throat, whereby he spat another mouthful of blood, “F*ck, can you stop repeating that?”
‘I won’t kill myself!
What can you do about that?
I no longer care about my dignity, alright?’
Ye Chen ignored him and looked at Duan Tianlang.
Duan Tianlang smirked coldly, “Very well. Since you are bent on seeking death, I’ll fulfill your wish. The challenge that begins with you will determine who is more powerful and who will be killed. Everyone here can bear witness!”
At this point, his gaze turned cold, “Don’t kneel and beg for forgiveness, or beg someone to save you when you realized that you’re incapable by then!”
How could Tong Shuhui not understand the meaning behind what he said? She said with a cold snort, “Don’t worry, since he made that promise himself, whether he wins or loses, we won’t make a move!”
“It’s the same for the Xiang family!”
“Same goes for my Liu family!”
“…”
Xiang Nan and Liu Yunfeng immediately expressed their stance.
Only Luo Shuiyao and Tang Jianfeng remained silent.
Duan Tianlang did not mind. As long as the Tong, Xiang, and Liu families did not make a move, the Luo and Tang families would not pose a threat to them.
He subconsciously glanced at Xiao Yuanjing, who was seated at the head of the table. When he saw Xiao Yuanjing nod slightly, he said, “Ye, I’ll clarify once more. This challenge will determine the winner and the loser, and it will also determine life and death. If you win, you will live, and you can also obtain the netherworld token from the opponent.”
He grinned at Ye Chen after saying that, revealing his white teeth, “Since you’re representing Luo Shuiyao, we’ll follow the rules. We’ll send someone to challenge you next!”
Following his words, a figure stomped hard and leaped onto the stage. He looked at Ye Chen in provocation, “Mad Southern Ye, get over here and die!”
