A Crazy Move!

Xiaoxuan hesitated for a few seconds and said, “Mr. Ye, I did see your master a few days ago, but I lost track of him in the west. I’ve been trying to find him, but your master has never appeared in the Land of Slaughter again after that. He should be hiding or cultivating.”

“Also, Mr. Ye, this is not the place to talk. Please come with me.”

Ye Chen shook his head when he saw that Xiaoxuan did not know where his master was either. He had no intention of moving.

Since others were unreliable, he could only rely on himself.

He took out a mask from the Samsara Graveyard and put it on his face.

“Mr. Ye, what are you doing?” Xiaoxuan was a little surprised.

Ye Chen smiled and said mysteriously, “Since you don’t know my master’s whereabouts, I can only rely on other methods.”

With that, he walked towards the stone tablet.

Xiaoxuan was not stupid and naturally knew what Ye Chen wanted to do. He also was aware of Alchemy Master Hong’s alchemy attainments.

If Ye Chen took the talisman, he would be forcing himself down a path of no return. It was suicidal!

“Mr. Ye, you can’t do this! This is actually Hong Tao’s scheme! Firstly, he is just using this to strengthen his reputation. Secondly, he wants to obtain more human sacrifices for his alchemy.”

Ye Chen ignored him and said calmly,” I just want to test my alchemy skills.”

Upon hearing this, Xiaoxuan almost spat out a mouthful of blood!

There was no way anyone was going to test their alchemy skills against a top-notch alchemist, especially when the stakes were this high!

“Mr. Ye, don’t be rash.”

Xiaoxuan had intended to pull Ye Chen back, but Ye Chen’s body suddenly released a wave of invisible energy. Xiaoxuan felt his body go numb, and he could not move!

Damn it!

On the stone tablet, the old man nodded when he saw that no one dared to accept the challenge. This was to be expected. After all, no one with any common sense would choose to court death by challenging Hong Tao in alchemy.

Just as the old man was about to leave, a figure rushed over. In midair, the figure clenched his fist and the talisman landed in the figure’s hand.

When everyone saw this scene, they were momentarily unable to react.

Someone actually dared to challenge Alchemy Master Hong?

Even the old man’s face was filled with shock, and his heart was in turmoil. Was this person tired of living? Or was he a fool or a lunatic?

Shua shua shua!

Countless gazes turned to the black shadowy figure.

The first thought that crossed everyone’s mind was that the challenger would be an elderly person at the end of their lifespan. However, it was a masked man, who was clearly very young, probably not even thirty years old!

Insane! This fellow was insane!

Even if he started refining pills from his mother’s womb and had outstanding talent, it was also impossible for him to contend with Alchemy Master Hong at this age!

The old man looked deeply at Ye Chen. Seeing that this young man was a mere transcendent realm cultivator, he immediately brushed any sense of danger aside.

A mere Transcendent realm cultivator was nothing to fear.

However, out of courtesy, he still said, “Kid, do you know what it means to take this talisman? I’ll give you a chance now. Put this talisman back in its original place and kowtow twenty times to this stone tablet. If you do that, I’ll pretend I didn’t see anything.”

In the old man’s opinion, killing the masked young man was an easy matter. However, he was too lazy to take action. If he could use this matter to improve his reputation, it was an acceptable compromise.

Ye Chen glanced at the talisman in his hand and said calmly, “Since I’ve taken the talisman, I naturally won’t put it back. It just so happened that I have nothing to do in the Land of Slaughter over the next few days, so I can use this opportunity to entertain myself.”

These words made everyone breathless.

Entertain himself? He was gambling his life away!

They had thought that Duan Huai An had overestimated himself, but this masked young man took ignorance to new heights!

Furthermore, at the very least, Duan Huai An was from the Medical God sect, so he should be quite proficient in alchemy. In comparison, what could a kid who was still wet behind his ears know about alchemy? This fellow’s martial strength had only reached the transcendent realm, so how could he have had the time to dabble in alchemy.

The old man finally snorted coldly and said, “I gave you a chance, but you didn’t cherish it. Since you want to die, I’ll fulfill your wish!”

“Also, this talisman now has your mark. From now on until the day after tomorrow, there will be people watching you. If you try to leave, you will die even more miserably!”

Ye Chen casually threw the talisman into the Samsara Graveyard and said calmly, “I know. Don’t worry, I’m not going anywhere.”

“Hiss!”

Hearing Ye Chen’s casual words, everyone gasped. Despite the fact that the old man’s strength being infinitely close to the origin realm, a transcendent realm cultivator dared to speak to him with such an attitude!

This fellow was suicidal in more ways than one!

Although the old man was furious, he knew that once the kid took the talisman, he could not do anything to the kid. This kid was now Alchemy Master Hong’s prey.

“Don’t be so arrogant, kid,” he snorted coldly, “There are some consequences that you can’t bear!”

“Also, I’ll be waiting for you here at eight in the morning the day after tomorrow! Everyone in the Land of Slaughter will be waiting for you here! If you don’t appear, you will bear the consequences!”

With that, the old man waved his sleeve and headed straight back to the mansion.

Ye Chen did not intend to stay any longer either. He placed his hands behind his back and walked toward the hotel.

“Xiaoxuan, let’s go!”

At the same time, he released the restraints binding Xiaoxuan, who immediately hurried over to Ye Chen’s side.

His face was pale and he said worriedly, “Mr. Ye, what are you doing? This is a disaster! Now you can’t even leave the Land of Slaughter! You really shouldn’t have accepted the challenge!”

“No, I have to return to Qingxuan Peak immediately and get the patriarch to come. That’s the only way to resolve this!”

“But it’s definitely too late. He won’t be able to make it in time.”

“What should I do? What should I do?”

Ye Chen watched as Xiaoxuan mumbled to himself and found it somewhat funny.

“You don’t trust me?”

Xiaoxuan sighed. “This is not a matter of trust, Mr. Ye. You have no idea how terrifying Alchemy Master Hong is!”

Ye Chen stopped in his tracks. His eyes shone with confidence as he said, “Then let me ask you. Do you think Lin Qingxuan is better in the path of alchemy, or is this bullsh*t Hong Tao person better?”

Little Xuan was startled when he heard this. He immediately said without hesitation, “Mr. Ye, there’s no comparison at all. Lin Qingxuan is a divine existence within the path of medicine. Moreover, the path of alchemy is actually just a branch of the path of medicine. If Lin Qingxuan really made a move, not to mention Hong Tao, even all of the alchemists in the entire Kunlun Mountains would have to submit!”

Ye Chen’s confidence skyrocketed. If that was the case, what was there to be afraid of?

Lin Qingxuan stood behind him.. Hong Tao? Pfft!
