âSenior, Shi Sanâs death really has nothing to do with me. IâŠâ
Before she could finish, Ye Chen slapped her, leaving a red imprint on her face. This time, Li Xinâs entire face was swollen, and blood flowed out from the corner of her mouth.
âDonât challenge my bottom line. I wonât hesitate to kill you!â
At this moment, Li Xin was really panicking. She averted her gaze and then thought of something. She suddenly looked at Gao Fengping and hurriedly said, âSenior, this matter has nothing to do with me. It was all Gao Fengpingâs idea. Shi Sanâs existence was getting in his way of pursuing me. Thatâs why he used Shi Zhenhaiâs life to threaten Shi San. If Shi San didnât commit suicide, Shi Zhenhai as well as those around him would be implicated.â
Gao Fengping was stunned. When he heard Li Xinâs words, he almost spat out a mouthful of blood!
âStinky b*tch, you dare to say that you didnât interfere in this matter? You actually dare to say that it was my idea? Arenât you ashamed of yourself?â
Gao Fengping was furious!
Then, his gaze fell on Ye Chen. He pointed at Li Xin and said, âSir, I admit that I had something to do with this matter, but Li Xin was the mastermind. If Iâm lying, I will be struck by lightning!â
Ye Chen watched coldly as the two of them pushed the blame toward each other. A few seconds later, Ye Chen interrupted their argument.
âThereâs no need for you to argue. Today, both of you will follow me to Shi Sanâs grave.â
âKowtow a hundred times! Then, I will personally send you on your way!â
At this moment, everyone gasped. This kind of death was extremely humiliating!
Gao Fengpingâs expression was ferocious. Even if he died, he would not kowtow in front of that piece of trashâs grave! He was a supreme genius who was listed on the Spirit Endowment Rankings!
âYou canât kill me! Once you kill me, youâll offend the Gao family! The Gao familyâs foundation far exceeds the Li familyâs. Also Iâm listed on the Spirit Endowment Rankings! If youâŠâ
Before Gao Fengping could finish his sentence, Ye Chen moved, as did his sword.
A cold gleam separated Gao Fengpingâs head from his shoulders.
âYou talk too much, so Iâll send you on your way first.â
No one present had expected that the mysterious young man would really kill Gao Fengping. Their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
Was this guy not afraid of the Gao familyâs revenge?
Ye Chen grabbed Li Xinâs clothes and said calmly, âI think I made myself clear just now. Are you willing to go to Shi Sanâs grave?â
âI⊠Iâm willing!â
Li Xin had no choice. If she didnât leave, she would lose her head as well!
This lunatic dared to do anything!
âAlright.â Ye Chen glanced at Shi Zhenhai. âYou should come too.ââ
Shi Zhenhai finally recovered from his shock. His lips trembled as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he did not speak and silently followed.
Just as Ye Chen and the others were about to leave, an old figure walked out from the crowd and stood in front of Ye Chen.
The old man was dressed in green and his aura was ethereal.
This was one of the people whom Ye Chen had sensed danger from earlier, and was very likely a saint king realm expert.
If this person stopped him, it would be very troublesome.
Ye Chen was still as calm as ever. He said in an indifferent voice, âYou want to stop me too?â
The old man shook his head.
âAlthough Iâm an invited guest, I donât have much to do with the Li family. Now that Li Hu is dead, I wonât stand up for them.ââ
âThen what do you want?â
âI want the Zither of Dawn Moon. Itâs very important to me. Iâve spent my entire life searching for this kind of spiritual artifact. If youâre willing to help, I can give you anything you want.â
âAlso, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Qiu Dao. Some friends in the Kunlun Mountains think highly of me and call me the Zither Maniac.â
The moment the old man revealed his identity, Ding Yunâer and everyone elseâs expressions changed significantly.
âItâs actually the zither maniac Qiu Dao! When Qiu Dao was still a saint realm expert, he had killed ten saint realm experts with a single demonic tune! I canât believe he reached the saint king realm! If he manages to obtain the Zither of Dawn Moon, his strength would definitely increase by several times!â
âIt seems that Qiu Dao is determined to get the Zither of Dawn Moon!â
âHowever, the masked youth is a sword cultivator. The Zither of Dawn Moon is useless to him. If he takes it out and builds a relationship with Qiu Dao, it will be beneficial to him in the Kunlun Mountains in the future!â
Ding Yunâer knew Qiu Daoâs strength and naturally did not want Qiu Dao to attack Ye Chen. She stepped forward and cupped her fists at Ye Chen.
âSir, we can do this deal, but I heard that Elder Qiu obtained a spiritual sword in a mystic realm in the Kunlun Mountains.â
âElder Qiu, perhaps you should consider offering the spiritual sword to trade.â
It was obvious that Ding Yunâer was speaking up for Ye Chen.
Qiu Dao did not expect Ding Yunâer to know about the secret realm. However, he turned to look at Ye Chen.
âIâve already given away the spiritual sword, but little brother, I can promise you that as long as you give me the Zither of Dawn Moon, Iâll owe you a favor! Also, the next time I get a spiritual sword, Iâll give it to you immediately!â
It was obvious that Qiu Dao did not intend to trade the item at all. Instead, he was trying to get something for nothing!
As he spoke, the spiritual pressure of a saint king realm expert enveloped Ye Chen!
He was not backing down!
Ding Yunâer looked a little angry and quickly said, âElder Qiu, itâs not good for you to rely on your cultivation to deal with a junior like this. If word gets out, your reputation in the Kunlun Mountains will suffer.â
Qiu Dao ignored Ding Yunâer and looked at Ye Chen.
âBrat, I know youâre a sword cultivator. The Zither of Dawn Moon is useless to you.â
âIf you donât hand it over, you wonât like what happens next. There are some things that you are not destined to have!â
Faced with Qiu Daoâs aggressiveness, Ye Chen smiled brightly..
