Chapter 851: Chapter 850 [This Hatred is a Great Grudge]

That night, Ye Tianchen lay on the bed, not sleeping, but contemplating how to kill Hu Changhe, Qin Mingshan and Yang Gui. These three people are undoubtedly three powerful martial artists. They are rampant in the city and enjoy indulgence in the Mortal World. Given their strength, they can live any lifestyle they want in the Mortal World. However, their evil and cruelty will harm the ordinary people of the Mortal World greatly and may even hurt their relatives and friends one day. For Ye Tianchen, they must die!

However, what puzzled Ye Tianchen was that martial artists from the Ancient Martial World generally wouldn’t leave it because only in the Ancient Martial World is there still some residual spiritual energy. Once they enter the Mortal World, there’s only one result: being lured by the world’s indulgence and eventually becoming immersed in its pleasures, with no progress in their cultivation realm. Very few martial artists would do this because, although they indulge, there are many masters in the Ancient Martial World, and their cultivation can’t be improved, nor would their lifespan increase accordingly. To a person, living is most important, and who doesn’t want to live longer in powerful and joyous days? A martial artist entering the Mortal World to indulge means giving up the chance to increase their lifespan, essentially seeking an early death. Few people do such things.

But Hu Changhe, Qin Mingshan, and Yang Gui indeed became martial artists, and powerful ones at that, which Ye Tianchen could almost confirm. Then why didn’t they cultivate and improve their strength and cultivation in the Ancient Martial World to become stronger and extend their lifespans? How could they be content with the pleasures of the Mortal World? Upon reflection, there’s only one possibility: Hu Changhe, Qin Mingshan, and the long-missing Yang Gui were at most ancient martial artists with some ancient martial arts, and it was someone behind them teaching them a cultivation method, letting them live in the Mortal World for a purpose.

Thinking over it, it was this possibility that made Ye Tianchen more anxious. If, as he suspected, Hu Changhe, Qin Mingshan, and Yang Gui were puppets controlled by someone, then the one controlling them is definitely not an ordinary role, and his purpose is intense. Who is this person? Strong to this extent, yet needing three powerful martial artists to do something for him in the Mortal World, what exactly are they doing?

Ring, ring!

Ye Tianchen’s phone rang. He turned and picked it up; it was Wuxue calling. Pressing the call button, he said, “Hey, Wuxue, what’s up?”

“Master, you need to get to the training base quickly; it’s urgent!” Wuxue said anxiously.

“Okay, I’m on my way!” Ye Tianchen frowned and hung up the phone.

After leaving the house, Ye Tianchen didn’t forget to cast a martial arts divine skill, enveloping the villa he lived in with martial arts true power unseen to ordinary people. Some things must be guarded against, as there might be masters keeping an eye on him, Ye Tianchen, or even followers from the Blood Killing Organization or Nine Netherworld. He cannot leave any danger to his family.

Ye Tianchen flew using Qi Manipulation Flight at a very high speed; he didn’t pause as he used the Divine Movement Skill. In no time, he arrived at the training base of the Thirteen Heavenly Kings. Upon arrival, he found Wuxue and the twelve other members waiting there, each with a very serious expression. The impulsive ones like Wang Jie clenched their fists tightly, trembling.

“Master!” Wuxue called out upon seeing Ye Tianchen arrive.

“What’s going on?” Ye Tianchen asked directly.

“Master, you’ll understand after you take a look!” Wuxue frowned, leading Ye Tianchen forward.

When Ye Tianchen followed Wuxue to an open space on the training ground, he found over a dozen corpses there. Each heart area had a large hole, clearly indicating the hearts were dug out; the perpetrators were cruel and vicious.

“Master, these people were our Thirteen Heavenly Kings’ lower ranks and our people. I sent them to monitor Hu Changhe and Qin Mingshan and to find Brother Li San’s whereabouts, but never expected they all…” Wuxue couldn’t finish his sentence, clenching his fists tightly.

“We were just discussing how to quickly find Brother Li San to ensure his safety when we heard the sound of objects falling to the ground. When we ran out, we saw this scene…” Wang Jie said, his voice trembling.

Ye Tianchen frowned. These over a dozen bodies, although not members of the Thirteen Heavenly Kings, were brothers under them, his people, sent to monitor Hu Changhe and Qin Mingshan and search for Brother Li San’s whereabouts. Yet, in one night, they were all killed. Who did this? So arrogant, not putting Ye Tianchen in mind, this is a blatant slap in the face for Ye Tianchen, trying to give him a warning.

“Master… Master…” Wuxue called out, seeing Ye Tianchen daze.

“Take off their shirts!” Ye Tianchen said in a deep voice.

Hearing Ye Tianchen’s words, Wuxue and the others were stunned, not knowing why. But they quickly acted and took off the shirts of the bodies on the ground. Seeing the bloody holes on their chests made them boil with anger. These were their people, killed so brutally, fueling their intent for revenge.

“There’s nothing here?” Wang Jie asked puzzled, looking at the corpses with their upper bodies stripped.

“Turn them over!” Ye Tianchen nodded and said.

Wuxue and the others moved the over dozen corpses to flip them over. When they did, everyone was stunned, gawking at the blood-red words on each body’s back, written with their own blood.

“Ye Tianchen, I want you dead by midnight. You won’t live past the third watch. This is just a lesson for you. Prepare to wash your neck clean!”

The blood-red words on the backs of these corpses formed this sentence. Wuxue and others were furious, their eyes red with anger. How could they not resent seeing their brothers killed?

“I’m going to kill them now!” Wang Jie turned and tried to rush out, only for Wuxue to stop him.

“Let go of me!” Wang Jie looked coldly at Wuxue.

“Are you crazy? Do you know where the killers are? Acting rashly won’t kill them, but cost you your life!” Wuxue yelled loudly.

“Are we just going to watch?” Bao Tianglong couldn’t help asking.

“Alright, bury them, send five million to each family, and everyone go to sleep. Everything should go as planned without my orders. No one may act on their own, or they will no longer be a member of the Thirteen Heavenly Kings and have nothing to do with me, Ye Tianchen!” Ye Tianchen regained his composure, speaking coldly.

“This…”

“Are we just to endure? Surely Hu Changhe, Qin Mingshan, and Yang Gui did this. They already know we’re monitoring them, so they killed our people,” Wang Jie quickly said.

“I said no one is to act without my orders, and you are all to stay at the training base. I will give you news!”

After saying this, Ye Tianchen turned to leave, leaving Wuxue and the others behind. Though bitter and discontented, there was nothing they could do. Perhaps not as powerful as Hu Changhe, Qin Mingshan, and Yang Gui, these three martial artists, Wuxue and others were brave men with courage. So long as revenge could be had, they weren’t afraid to die. But without Ye Tianchen’s orders, they couldn’t act on their own; there is no rule or order!

The night was cool, the moon dark and the wind high. A figure appeared above the Capital City’s sky, walking leisurely. Their destination was Nine Dragon Mountain, a place not yet developed. Somehow, despite high-rise buildings surrounding it, it remained desolate; no one knew why.

The figure walked into the sky, reaching the top of Nine Dragon Mountain, glancing down and sweeping out with strong divine thought. He found there was an estate on top of Nine Dragon Mountain, muttering to himself, “The three should be inside, just as well, I won’t have to search for them one by one!”

At this moment, in the estate atop the mountain, there were three people: Hu Changhe, Qin Mingshan, and Yang Gui, leisurely smoking cigars and drinking red wine.

“Brother Hu, you’re not just back to see us, are you?” Hu Changhe was the first to speak.

“Did you solve those who were following us?” Yang Gui thought for a moment before asking.

“Did you get rid of those tailing us?”

“Did you solve those tailing us?”

“Yes, Brother.” Hu Changhe always spoke up first, asking, “Brother Gui, tell me truthfully, you didn’t just come back for a visit this time, did you?”

“All those who were following us, did you handle them?” Yang Gui thought for a moment before asking.

“Yes, it’s all taken care of. I don’t know what that Ye Tianchen is thinking, daring to provoke us! He’s fed up with his life, I originally didn’t want to deal with him, I don’t want to stoop to the level of a mere ant,” said Wang Jie dismissively, smiling.

“Brothers, to be frank, the real reason I’m back this time is because I want to team up with you two,” Yang Gui said with an evil glint in his eyes as he looked at Hu Changhe and Qin Mingshan.
