Chapter Eighty-six: The Fearsome Name

  "Weren't you very angry just now?" Ye Chen said, stunned.

  "Yes, sister is very angry." Ye Yan's expression was very serious, but soon changed to a smile that was not quite a smile, saying: "If you said that to sister, maybe sister wouldn't be angry."

  Ye Chen had an urge to turn around and run away.

  "Yan Jie, we're siblings, let's not talk about this anymore." Ye Chen said with a smile.

  "Yes, we are siblings..." Ye Yan said in a low voice, as if she was saying it to herself, with a flicker of complex emotions in her eyes.

  Ye Chen didn't respond, Ye Yan's words were still echoing in his mind. Unless he had said something like that to her... what was it? What did that guy say earlier? Ye Yan actually said something like that, Ye Chen couldn't believe it. If he really said 'I want to kill her', no, that would be crazy.

  Ye Chen secretly wiped the sweat, silently feeding Xiao Xianfeng. Not long after, the sound of "Dong Dong Dong" came again, a general-like person led a large group of soldiers to rush up and seal off the third floor.

  He strode to the middle of the floor, scanning everyone, and said in a low voice: "Who was it that just committed murder here?"

  The people upstairs were silent, no one was willing to come out and testify, they had seen Ye Chen's methods earlier, who dared to offend him, he was a ruthless master.

  "It's me."

  Ye Chen didn't lift his head, slowly feeding Xiao Xianfeng, and said faintly.

  The general's eyes suddenly became sharp and piercing, like two knives staring at Ye Chen and Ye Yan. He then raised his hand and gave an order, "Take them away!"

  "Yes!"

  Five or six soldiers immediately surrounded him.

  Slow!

  Ye Chen turned his head and looked at the general and those soldiers, saying in a cold voice: "Those who are not afraid of death can come over."

  "How dare you!" The general thundered: "Do you want to defy the law and go against the City Lord's Mansion?"

  "Oppose the law?" Ye Chen rubbed his nose, "When they three were out of control and bullying others, where were you all?"

  Ye Yan glanced at the general and those soldiers, saying: "The three of them deserved to die, why must you forcefully intervene? Leave, don't throw your lives away in vain!"

  "Haha!" The general burst out laughing and said, "You're really bold, running to Ying City and still being so arrogant. Who are you, anyway? Are you tired of living?"

  "Whoosh!"

  A wooden chopstick tore through the air, making a "ding" sound as it pierced the helmet of that general, but didn't harm a single hair on his head. The general was startled and trembled all over, but at the same time he was furious, feeling that so many people had lost face. Just as he was about to explode in anger, Ye Chen stood up.

  "In the lower city, Ye Jia Ye Chen, if you think you are a cat person, come over." Ye Chen's voice was neither light nor dull, each time it was like a giant hammer hitting people's hearts, the entire floor suddenly burst into an uproar, with all sorts of discussions and frightened gazes turned towards him. It could be seen that his name had become synonymous with evil, enough to scare children into crying at night.

  "He is indeed Ye Chen of the Ye family from Lincheng. No wonder he is so ruthless, I heard that with one slash of his knife, he killed over a thousand skilled fighters, beheaded three clan leaders and more than ten elders, and even killed the lord of Lincheng."

  "This... this is literally a living Asura..."

  Everyone's voice was trembling.

  Those soldiers were even more trembling with fear, and the general's face turned deathly pale when Ye Chen said his name, big drops of sweat rolling down, as if he had already smelled the taste of death. At this moment, standing in front of him was no longer a teenager, but a bloodthirsty Asura demon king. He wasn't even a cat, let alone a nine-lived cat that others couldn't kill!

  "Retreat! Retreat! Quick retreat!"

  The general turned around and left, almost running, and disappeared in a flash, those soldiers also followed him and disappeared, leaving no trace in the blink of an eye.

  Ye Chen said his own name because he knew that his name had deterrent power. As expected, those soldiers all ran away in fright. This also avoided a meaningless slaughter and the lord of the city would not dare to act rashly, reducing a lot of trouble. Otherwise, if they had killed those people just now, a series of events would have followed one after another.

  Of course, he also had an idea, which was to let Shangguan Ziyuan and his senior brother know that he had arrived in Yingcheng. According to Ye Chen's estimation, in the heart of Shangguan Ziyuan's senior brother, he was just a small ant, and would not tell the people of the sect about what happened, so he would definitely come to find him personally. Heh, at that time, all the grudges could be understood together. Thinking of the humiliation of that day, Ye Chen didn't want to wait for another moment!

  "Let's go, younger brother."

  Ye Yan's face was not pleasant, and he threw down a pile of gold coins before quickly leaving. Ye Chen rubbed the tip of his nose and reluctantly picked up Xiao Xianfeng to follow him.

  All the way, Ye Yan didn't say a word until they entered the room and slammed the door shut. Turning around, she said angrily: "Why did you do this? Didn't we agree before coming here? How could you expose your identity like that? You clearly knew that Shangguan Ziyuan and his senior brother were in Ying City, didn't you do it on purpose?"

  A string of questioning, Ye Yan's tone carried a hint of sharpness, but Ye Chen didn't feel the slightest discomfort. He put Xiaoxian Shuang on the stool and walked to Ye Yan's side, pressing her down beside Xiaoxian Shuang. Looking at her eyes blazing with anger, "Yan Jie, I know you're worried about me, but have you thought it through? Even if I hide my identity now, wouldn't they still be able to discover it?"

  "Before the big comparison selection, it's necessary to register one's name, and at that time, there is also a possibility of being known by them."

  "So you deliberately led Officer Ziyan and her senior brother to appear, are you sure they won't tell the sect about that matter? But what if things aren't as you expected, how will you deal with it? You're very powerful now, but Officer Ziyan's senior brother might still be injured. Once his fellow disciples get involved, have you thought about the consequences? Hiding your identity is the safest approach, even if they discover you later, you should be taken in by some lucky place and receive protection. But now..."

  Ye Yan said a lot in one breath, analyzing all the forms clearly, leaving Ye Chen unsure of how to respond. However, he had made up his mind and nothing could change it, not even Ye Yan. The anger that had been building up inside him for too long was eager to erupt, and he was somewhat confident that it wouldn't be a suicidal move.

  Yan Ye sighed and asked with a worried heart: "What are you planning to do now?"

  "We'll talk about it later, tomorrow we'll go register our names first. I think they will come to us by tomorrow night. When the time comes, I will lead them away, Yan sister, you must not follow." Ye Chen's eyes flashed with a killing intent, his breath suddenly becoming icy cold, "A disciple of Shen Cifu's inner courtyard? I want him to have no return!"

  Ye Yan nodded, although she was worried about Ye Chen, but she didn't insist on fighting alongside him. With her current strength, she couldn't keep up with the battle in the Sea of Secrets, and it would be better to let him fight freely without any burden.

  Xiao Xianfeng blinked her big, pure eyes and swung her two small feet back and forth as she looked at Ye Chen and said: "Big brother, tomorrow you must bring Xian'er with you, Xian'er will bring you good luck."

  Ye Chen and Ye Yan were both stunned, then Ye Chen thought of what Yin Dao Ren had said before, plus Yu Ling Long's caution when mentioning Xiao Xian Shuang, he knew that this little thing was very mysterious. Of course, no matter where Ye Chen went, he would always bring her by his side, besides himself, who else could he entrust Xiao Xian Shuang to? If he entrusted her to Ye Yan, it would be harming her, even Yu Ling Long feared the cursed power within Xiao Xian Shuang, let alone Ye Yan.

  As night fell, Ye Chen looked at the only big bed in the room and said somewhat helplessly: "Yan Jie, how are we going to sleep tonight?"

  "Sleep on the floor!" Ye Yan said in a bad tone, her anger still lingering inside, and she didn't give Ye Chen a good face.

  "Alright," Ye Chen said with a bitter smile, "As a cultivator, I'm used to living in the mountains and wilderness. Compared to that, this place is actually quite good."

  He walked straight to the bedside and picked up a quilt, of course he didn't need it, but was afraid that Little Fairy would catch cold.

  Watching Ye Chen's movements, Ye Yan opened her mouth slightly, but ultimately shook her head and said nothing. She got up and walked to the bedside, turning around in an instant, with a misty gaze in her beautiful eyes. Lying on the bed, she tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. Tomorrow, she was really worried that Ye Chen would be in danger. After all, this time they were not facing the same level of opponents as the ones from the Secret Realm of Fate's once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but rather a second-level opponent from the Inner Court, who was far stronger than those from the Wang City's Secret Realm of Fate. Even if they were at the same level, their combat power was vastly different, not to mention that Ye Chen was also one realm higher, which made it an entirely different story.

  Ye Chen closed his eyes, and Xiao Xianfeng quietly curled up in his arms, sleeping very sweetly. His little nose twitched lightly, and he was really adorable. But Ye Yan didn't fall asleep either. He was angry - how could he sleep? However, saying anything would be superfluous.

  The room was very quiet, with only three breathing sounds rising and falling.

  This night passed like this, the next morning, when the east just turned white, Ye Yan got up early and went outside to fetch hot water. When she came back, Ye Chen was tidying up the house, and Xiao Xianfeng, who was still sleepy, saw Ye Yan and said in a crisp voice: "Big sister, good morning."

  Ye Yan smiled, wrung out the towel in her hand and gently washed Ye Chen's face. Both big and small sat on the stool, enjoying Ye Yan's gentle care. Ye Chen smiled and stared at Ye Yan, saying: "Sister Yan, you're not angry anymore, are you?"

  Ye Yan glared at Ye Chen with a bad temper, "Watch your performance tonight, if you get hurt or whatever, sister will never forgive you for the rest of her life."

  "Hey, Yan Jie, don't worry." Ye Chen said confidently, then deliberately stretched out a finger to hook under Ye Yan's chin and said: "Girl, come give me a smile?"

  "Pfft!"

  Ye Yan's face lit up with a smile, and she slapped Ye Chen's hand with a loud "pa", rolling her eyes, "Sister dares to flirt, asking for a beating!"

  Xiao Xianfeng was laughing loudly in Ye Chen's arms, her eyes narrowed into a slit.

  Everyone, let's make "Holy Emperor" reach the top of the new book charts! We've clicked it to be higher than first place, but the gap in popularity is still quite large. Let's all work together to push "Holy Emperor" to the top!
