CHAPTER 669: CHAPTER 668 KIDNAPPING YOUR GODDESS (2/5)

After Zhou Qinghe left, the old leader’s expression suddenly changed. He stood up and said in a deep voice, "Go! Find Black Night."

"Yes!" A leisurely voice came from a corner.

However, from start to finish, no other figure appeared in the room.

...

Jin Chen.

The Ye family.

In the underground secret chamber.

"Have you figured it out?" Master Ye sat upright in the grand master’s chair and asked.

Ye Liangcai shook his head and said, "Many people have infiltrated our ranks, but we haven’t identified exactly who they are yet. However, we have discovered many eavesdropping and recording devices."

Master Ye nodded and sighed, "It seems Jin Chen is also starting to fall into chaos!"

Ye Liangcai lowered his head in silence.

After a long time, Master Ye asked, "Has Xiao Kai sent any news?"

"They have already set out," Ye Liangcai said.

Master Ye nodded and said, "Yang Chen’s people are still very loyal. What about Nietai Mountain? There hasn’t been any conflict, right?"

Ye Liangcai shook his head, "No, other than blocking the area, they haven’t made any other moves. They haven’t even gone to Nietai Mountain."

"That’s interesting," Master Ye muttered, frowning and contemplating.

After a long pause, Master Ye said to Ye Liangcai, "Have the Guard ready for any eventuality, and keep a close watch on the movements of the old leader to prepare for any changes."

"Yes!" Ye Liangcai nodded.

...

Not only the Ye family, but the Zhu family and the Liu family within Jin Chen have also received news about Nietai Mountain.

After all, with so many people and such a big commotion, it’s impossible for them not to know.

In an instant, Jin Chen was like a storm rising, and in the distant Nietai Mountain, it was a contest among many people...

...

Shangqing Sect.

The kitchen.

Yang Chen was quite accustomed to Xuanliang’s work.

With Yang Chen’s abilities, he quickly blended into the environment and got the lay of the land in the kitchen.

Yang Chen even had Xuanliang’s subordinates, the big radish and cudgel, completely won over, and they were grateful to Yang Chen.

At the same time, some of the other people working with him became very attentive to Yang Chen.

The sect is only so big, and there are only so many people, so any little thing quickly spreads around.

The matter of Yang Chen pursuing the goddess Ye Xin and violently beating Shangwei had already spread throughout the entire sect. Especially among the Outer Sect disciples, it was a hot topic.

Shangqing Sect still maintains an ancient style, with feudal hierarchical concepts, where the Inner and Outer Sects are worlds apart, as if the Inner Sect were the rich young masters born with silver spoons in their mouths, lacking nothing in terms of cars, houses, and beauties. While the Outer Sect disciples are like poor boys born in remote mountains, having to rely on compulsory education even to attend school, and unable to find work even after graduating, with things like cars, houses, and women seeming unrelated to them.

So, the matter of an Outer Sect disciple beating an Inner Sect disciple is completely unheard of.

Their cultivation techniques and levels alone make it impossible, not to mention that even if given the chance, they wouldn’t dare to act!

Thus, it was an almost impossible feat.

But Yang Chen made it happen.

In an instant, almost all the Outer Sect disciples saw Yang Chen as a heroic figure.

Except, in their eyes, Yang Chen wasn’t Yang Chen, but rather ’Xuanliang.’

Xuanliang probably couldn’t imagine that while he was knocked unconscious and tied up in a cave, such a good thing would happen.

In the afternoon, Yang Chen brought meals to the back mountain and found that cave.

Xuanliang was still lying in the cave asleep. Yang Chen stepped forward, pulled out the silver needle, and patted Xuanliang’s face, waking him up.

Seeing Yang Chen, Xuanliang instinctively got frightened and wanted to resist.

However, his meridians were sealed by Yang Chen, and now his strength couldn’t even match a child’s.

"What... what did you do to me?" Xuanliang’s face turned pale, feeling an unprecedented terror.

Yang Chen said calmly, "I advise you to stay here obediently for a few days; otherwise, I wouldn’t mind doing something ruthless."

When he said the word "ruthless," Yang Chen’s eagle-like eyes glanced at Xuanliang.

Xuanliang, swept by Yang Chen’s gaze, felt as if a knife had cut across his eyes, causing a chill to run up his spine.

Seeing Xuanliang’s terrified expression, Yang Chen looked down and opened the food he had brought, saying, "Have something to eat!"

Yang Chen didn’t want Xuanliang to starve to death.

Seeing the food and smelling the aroma drifting into his nostrils, Xuanliang’s stomach immediately growled.

Although he’d been asleep for a day, Xuanliang’s bodily functions hadn’t stopped, and after not eating for a day, he was starving.

"Eat," Yang Chen sat on a stone beside him, quietly watching Xuanliang.

Xuanliang glanced at Yang Chen, carefully picked up the food, sniffed it, tried a bite, and, once sure there was no problem, proceeded to devour the meal ravenously.

Yang Chen watched Xuanliang eat quietly, only speaking once he’d finished, "Drink some water so you don’t choke."

Xuanliang glanced at Yang Chen, picked up the cup and took a big gulp of water, then looked at Yang Chen, puzzled, "What exactly is your goal?"

Yang Chen thought for a moment and said, "To snatch away your goddess."

"Uh!" Xuanliang’s face stiffened, looking at Yang Chen in disbelief.

Soon, Xuanliang shook his head.

Looking at Xuanliang, Yang Chen asked, "Why? You don’t believe me?"

Xuanliang laughed, "To be honest, I’d rather believe you could do it, but it’s absolutely impossible."

"Why?" Yang Chen asked.

Xuanliang said, "Because the goddess is destined for great achievements. You can tell from her demonic cultivation speed and the Sect Master’s attitude towards her. Meanwhile, right now you look like me, an Outer Sect disciple, who can’t even get close to the goddess. As the saying goes, a toad wants to eat swan meat. The toad wants to eat swan meat, but would the swan let you eat it? Don’t think about it!"

Hearing this, Yang Chen was slightly taken aback.

These words were somewhat similar to what Shangwei had said.

Yang Chen chuckled and shook his head gently.

There are many in this world who look down on you. It doesn’t mean there’s no hope for anything, but if you look down on yourself, then there’s absolutely no hope.

That’s why some Outer Sect disciples remain Outer Sect disciples until they grow old and die.

Yang Chen took out the prepared paper and pen and said to Xuanliang, "Draw me a map of the sect, and also mark down what each place is for."

He didn’t want to keep stumbling around in the Shangqing Sect blindly, as carelessly searching could expose his identity.

Xuanliang was helpless. His life and death were in Yang Chen’s hands, so he had no choice but to do as he was told.

To Yang Chen’s surprise, Xuanliang’s drawing skills are quite good, his work was detailed and neatly drawn.

Seeing Yang Chen’s surprised expression, Xuanliang blushed a bit and said, "My paintings of beauties bathing are quite valuable in the sect."

Hearing this, Yang Chen was stunned.

He finally understood why, when he first encountered Xuanliang, Xuanliang was lurking around the hot springs...
