After that, Ye Chen turned his attention back to the unconscious Ying Qing.

A soldier asked, “Instructor, will the captain make it?”

Ye Chen nodded as he said, “Without my permission, even the king of hell will not be able to take his life.”

After he finished speaking, he circulated a trace of his true qi and transformed it into a needle. He then inserted it into one of Ying Qing’s acupoints and pressed two fingers on Ying Qing’s forehead, sending a steady stream of true qi into the latter’s body.

As the warm current flowed into Ying Qing’s body, his face finally regained some color. Although the medicinal pill could help boost Ying Qing’s blood production, he would still need to go to the hospital for a blood transfusion.

After all, in his weakened and injured state, his body would not be able to produce much blood, even when stimulated by the medicinal pill.

Not long after, Ying Qing opened his eyes. When he saw Ye Chen, he tried to struggle to his feet as he said respectfully, “Mr. Ye…”

“Don’t move. Your body is still very weak,” Ye Chen ordered.

“Yes, Mr. Ye!”

Ying Qing’s eyes were filled with gratitude. After his team had been ambushed, he knew that their chances of survival were slim to none. Yet Ye Chen had defied the odds and rescued them.

“Mr. Ye, thank you for saving me!”

Ye Chen stood up and smiled.

“I don’t have many friends. You’re one of them. If you die, I’ll be sad.”

This simple sentence stunned Ying Qing!

Touched, he swore that from now on, he would do his best to protect Ye Chen and the people around him.

“It’s about time. Contact Dragon Soul and get them to send someone to pick us up. You still need a blood transfusion.”

Ying Qing nodded and then said to a nearby soldier, “Contact Dragon Soul HQ and get a nearby ship to come to this island.”

Some time later, a nearby navy ship approached the island.

Just as they were about to leave the abandoned cruise ship, a phone rang. Ye Chen stopped in his tracks and his gaze fell on Zhongcun. It was the latter’s phone that was ringing.

Of course, Zhongcun was in no state to answer the call, being nearly dead and all. Thus, Ye Chen decided to help him out.

Ye Chen took out his phone and glanced at the caller ID. It was an unfamiliar number.

He pressed the answer button, and an aged voice spoke up.

“How are things progressing?”

Ah, so it was the big boss. Ye Chen smiled as he greeted the other person coldly, “Beiye.”

The man on the other end of the phone was stunned, and quickly replied, “Who are you? Where’s Zhongcun?”

Ye Chen snorted. “Who am I? I’m the one who’s going to kill you.””

“Ye Chen?”

The person on the other end of the phone hesitated for a moment before speaking. However, the only thing that greeted him was silence.

The call ended.

Ye Chen handed the phone over to Dragon Soul’s personnel, who might be able to find some useful information from it.

After Ying Qing and the other soldiers boarded the ship, they suddenly realized that Ye Chen had no intention of boarding the ship.

“Mr. Ye? Aren’t you coming back with us?” Ying Qing asked.

Ye Chen shook his head. “You guys can go back first. I still have some things to deal with.”

The Martial Emperor Society was a threat. He had not planned to deal with them after his first run-in with them, but this time they had gone too far.

It was best to nip this problem in the bud before it caused more problems for him in the future. In any case, this island was not too far from the Pearl Nation, so it was a convenient opportunity.

Ying Qing seemed to have guessed his intentions and said, “Mr. Ye, the Martial Emperor Society is not as simple as you think. I’m afraid it’ll be dangerous for you to go alone. Also, Beiye is extremely powerful. Dragon Soul’s evaluation of him is that he’s extremely dangerous. Please think twice, Mr. Ye.”

Ye Chen ignored Ying Qing, which made him anxious.

Thinking on his feet, he quickly said, “Mr. Ye, tomorrow is the day you and Fang Zhongxin agreed to fight. Why don’t we deal with the Martial Emperor Society together after your fight in the martial arts arena is settled?”

It was only then that Ye Chen recalled this matter. However, he still rejected Ying Qing, and left in the opposite direction.

Ying Qing looked at Ye Chen’s receding figure worriedly.

Although Ye Chen was very strong, it was too dangerous for him to face a top-notch force alone while in a foreign country. However, he was also aware of Ye Chen’s personality. Once this guy made a decision, no one would be able to change his mind.

Right now, he could only contact the higher-ups. After all, Huaxia still had some hidden forces planted in the Pearl Nation.

“Let’s set sail back to Jiangnan Province.”

Over in the Pearl Nation, inside an ancient palace, Beiye was pacing back and forth.

Ever since that phone call, he had a bad feeling, and for some reason, this feeling was getting stronger and stronger.

“Something must have happened to those guys. The plan has been ruined! Damn it!”

He thought of something and quickly took out a few things from a nearby cabinet. He wanted to perform a divination, but when he attempted it, the items shattered!

“A disaster?! An inescapable one too? How is this possible? Could it be that I’m destined to be unable to escape this trial?”

His face turned a little pale. His divinations had never been wrong…

“Wait… could a team of top-notch fighters from Huaxia’s Martial Arts Department be coming to deal with me? We signed a treaty back then to not interfere with each other!”

This was what he feared the most.

If those in the top ten ranks of Huaxia’s grandmaster rankings were to join forces to deal with him, he would not be able to resist them.

He forced himself to calm down and sat cross-legged. The black energy within his body surged as he cultivated and meditated.

With an inescapable disaster looming, the best thing he could do was ensure that he was in peak fighting condition to welcome it.

Night fell.

Not far away, Ye Chen was walking toward the ancient palace. His body exuded a sharp aura, as he prepared himself for battle.

Suddenly, a girl fell toward Ye Chen. Ye Chen dodged to the side.

The girl covered her chest and mumbled something, seemingly displeased. She was about to reach out and grab Ye Chen’s hand when Ye Chen’s cold voice resounded.

“Get lost! Otherwise, die!”

The girl was stunned. Then, she signaled toward a few burly men in the alley, who came out and blocked Ye Chen’s path..
