Chapter 73 Actually I Don't Have a Spirit Soldier

  "The old guy from the City Master's Mansion? He is even higher than your boundary, could he be the first person to have a surge of life force in the Secret Realm of the Nether Sea?" Ye Chen was somewhat surprised, hearing from Zhao's ancestor that the old guy from the City Master's Mansion was much more formidable than him, otherwise he wouldn't have said that Ye Chen would definitely die.

  "Haha!" Zhao's ancestor burst into laughter, coughing up blood nonstop. "Forty years ago, that old man already had my current strength. With the wealth of the City Master's Manor, if there was a first-grade spiritual medicine as a cultivation resource, it wouldn't be impossible to truly enter the Secret Realm of Fate. You and your family can wait for the entire household to be slaughtered."

  Ye Chen bowed his head and looked at him, "Thank you for telling me these things, you can rest in peace now!"

  With a final exertion of force underfoot, the already fractured internal organs shattered instantly into fragments, and large gushes of blood burst forth from the mouth of Zhao's ancestor. A moment later, his head gradually tilted to one side, breathing ceased, and all signs of life disappeared.

  Ye Chenru previously generally, the dead people's storage bags were all collected, and then Zhao Han's head was cut off. A large piece of cloth was torn from his body to wrap his head, which was carried in his hand, and he returned secretly to the Zhao family's mansion.

  A moment later, Ye Chen silently harvested the lives of several direct descendants of the Zhao family, and then left the Ye family's mansion, hanging Zhao Han's head in front of the mansion gate, and rushed straight to the city master's mansion.

  Tonight, Ye Chen knew that his methods were somewhat cruel, cutting off the direct descendants of the three major families, but he didn't dwell on his actions. Since they had such a deep grudge, he had to eliminate any future troubles, otherwise it would bring disaster to the Ye family in the future, especially after he left the Ye family. How could the Ye family deal with the crazy revenge of the direct descendants of the three major families at that time?

  Gou Yin and Duanmu jumped and escaped, but now they have become the shadow in Ye Chen's heart. The two people are very terrifying figures, with hearts that are too deep.

  The castle is located in the center of the entire Lin City, with 20-meter-high city walls on all sides. There is only one vermilion gate on the east side, which is now tightly closed. Ye Chen walked around the castle and found that there were sentries standing everywhere on the city wall, and soldiers patrolling back and forth in teams.

  Ye Chen thought for a while and found that it was impossible to enter the city master's mansion without being noticed, unless he killed his way in. However, Ye Chen did not want to do so, because once he killed his way in, the tens of thousands of soldiers inside the city master's mansion would surround him, leaving him with no choice but to engage in a massive slaughter.

  These soldiers had no grudge against him, and Ye Chen did not want to kill innocent people. Anyway, the people from the city master's mansion would also come to the Ye family tomorrow, so it was better to just go back now, sleep for a while, and then slowly wait for their arrival.

  When Ye Chen returned to the Ye family, the four elders of the Ye family, Ye Xiao Tian, and several people in charge were all drinking tea, but whether they had any taste or not was unknown. Everyone's face was filled with a worried expression. Ye Yan and Nan Er hadn't rested either, sitting on a wooden chair in the main hall, Nan Er leaning against Ye Yan's chest, her eyes slightly closed, her eyelashes trembling like a small fan.

  At the sound of footsteps, everyone's head turned simultaneously, looking towards the outside of the hall.

  "Chen Er, you're back!" Ye Xiao Tian suddenly became nervous, and several elders and people in charge also became nervous. Since Ye Chen left, they had all been worried, fearing that something would happen to him.

  "Little brother." A misty film appeared in Ye Yan's eyes as she gazed steadily at Ye Chen, her concern evident.

  "Master, ah, Master is back, waaahhh..." Nang'er broke free from Ye Yan's arms like a cute rabbit and ran to Ye Chen's side in just a few steps, hugging him tightly.

  "Master, you're finally back! Do you know how worried Nang'er was?" The little maid's eyes were moist, and her sniffles made one feel pity.

  Ye Chen loosened her arms around him and said, "Alright, I'm back now. You silly girl likes to cry." Ye Chen gently tapped on Nang's little nose, then pulled her to sit down beside Ye Yan, giving a slight smile under his gaze.

  "Little uncle, elder, the threats from the three major families have been completely eliminated, and now only the city lord's mansion is left." Ye Chen said calmly, with an air of being nonchalant, as if narrating a trivial matter.

  "Chen Er, are you telling the truth?" Although he saw Ye Chen return with his hair intact, he still didn't dare to think that the old guys from the three big families had all been taken care of by him. He asked cautiously, "Chen Er, tell your uncle, have the old guys from the three big families really... died?"

  "Yes, they're dead." Ye Chen smiled slightly, then his face slightly solidified and said: "Not only those old guys, the master of the Dai family and all the direct descendants were wiped out, only Gou Yin and Duan Mu escaped. This time my methods were a bit ruthless, but it was also unavoidable."

  In the hall, everyone's expression was frozen, and it took a while to wake up from this astonishing news. One of the masters excitedly said: "Great, the three big families will no longer be a threat, and our Ye family doesn't have to worry anymore. All their industries will be taken over by us, and the Ye family will soon become several times stronger. Even compared to the Shangguan family in Yingcheng, it won't be much different."

  "What business do you have with the official's residence in the city?" The Fourth Elder glared fiercely at the person in charge.

  "Hehe, elder, I think Ye Chen doesn't even have that matter in his heart. The maid from the Upper Official's household is not worthy of our Ye family's genius." The person in charge said with a smile.

  "Haha, that's right! Although Shangguan Ziyuan has some natural talent, compared to our family's Ye Chen, it's a world of difference. She's just mediocre and ordinary, I think even Nannu by Ye Chen's side is ten times stronger than her." The Second Elder said indignantly, still unhappy about Shangguan Ziyuan's withdrawal from the engagement and feeling sorry for Ye Chen.

  "Later on, if Ye Chen enters a major power to cultivate, the female disciples there are not Tian's proud women, and one of them is Shangguan Ziyan. How can he look up to her? It can only be said that the Shangguan family is not so lucky." The Fourth Elder also said with a smile.

  Ye Chen was speechless, these elders were all over a hundred years old, how could they still be so gossipy.

  "Hmm... Elder, I really don't have any feelings for Shangguan Ziyuan. The last time he came to the Ye family was our first meeting, but it's clear that she's a proud and arrogant woman." Ye Chen said with a smile, "Her pride and arrogance will definitely disappear in front of me later! Although I, Ye Chen, don't like to provoke people, it doesn't mean others can humiliate me!"

  Everyone in the hall heard the murderous aura hidden in Ye Chen's words. Indeed, being trampled on by a woman in front of so many people was something no man could tolerate, let alone someone like Ye Chen.

  "Master." Nang'er shook Ye Chen's hand, her big eyes staring at him as she said: "Don't think about that bad woman anymore, Nang'er will always be good to Master, and also Color Sister."

  "You little scamp." Ye Chen smiled, then said: "The rest is nothing, but the lost dignity I must get back. Shangguan Ziyuan and his senior brother, they will have to pay me back sooner or later."

  Ye Yan grasped Ye Chen's hand tightly, giving him warmth, and said: "When the time comes, we will enter the Spiritual Spring Blessed Land together to cultivate. With your talent, what do they amount to?"

  Ye Chen nodded and said, "However, we still need to deal with the City Master's Mansion and the Chu Royal Family for now. I don't know when Jade Aunt will come to the Ye family, it should be during this period of time. At that time, the Ye family can rest assured, and Second Uncle and the elders don't have to worry. As a disciple of Linglong Island, it's easy to protect our Ye family."

  Everyone nodded, and with Ye Chen's words, the only worry in their hearts was also put down.

  "Chen Er, the old man Jiang Ming of the City Master's Mansion is actually the grandfather of Jiang Xingyun. He has not appeared for 40 years and was already a presence that had one foot in the Minghai Secret Realm 40 years ago. Now he must be even more powerful than before, you absolutely cannot underestimate him." Ye Xiao Tian reminded.

  "Alright, little uncle, don't worry," Ye Chen nodded. He wasn't worried about Jiang Ming at all; his only concern was the strong expert sent by Wang City who would soon arrive in Lin City. He didn't know what level of cultivation that expert had achieved. If he was someone from the second wave of the Mysterious Sea Realm, then Ye Chen definitely wouldn't be a match for him. At the very least, he would need to raise his cultivation to the 9th stage before he could even contend with him.

  Several elders looked at each other, and the second elder's gaze fell on Ye Chen, saying: "Ye Chen, can you tell us what level of cultivation you are currently at?"

  People in the fleshly boundary can't tell their strength by eyesight, but only by aura and combat power. However, they absolutely don't believe that Ye Chen has already set foot in the Secret Realm of Fate with one foot, because that's too freaky.

  "Physical Eightfold Initial Stage." Ye Chen rubbed his nose and said naturally.

  Everyone in the hall was shocked, and Ye Xiao Tian trembled with his voice, asking, "So you were able to kill those old guys by unleashing the power of the spiritual soldier?"

  Ye Chen looked at them and then said something that made them unbelievable, "Actually, I don't have any spiritual weapon on me. What exactly was the thing that injured the inner courtyard disciples of Shen Xi last time, even I myself don't know, so it's even more impossible for me to unleash its power."

  "It's...impossible, how is this possible..." In the hall, except for Nang'er and Ye Yan, everyone else had their mouths agape, staring at Ye Chen with wide eyes as if they were looking at a monster. A flesh body in the Eight Segments realm, able to kill a strong practitioner who had set foot in the Mysterious Spring Secret Realm without relying on external objects? It was simply absurd, like telling a joke of epic proportions.

  However, everyone knew that this was not a joke, but a fact. At this moment, the shock in their hearts was even more intense than when Ye Chenbai killed a thousand top experts and forcefully slew ten elders.

  "Really, really." The Second Elder's face was filled with excitement. "I've heard that in this world there are people with special physiques, once they start cultivating they will be stronger than ordinary cultivators. This is the power of their bloodline, ordinary cultivators can't compare, could it be that Ye Chen you are the legendary special physique?"

  "Uh... maybe." Ye Chen rubbed his nose and said.

  Cutting to the chase
