Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ye Chen walked into the courtyard and glanced at the corpses that were strewn all over the place.

It was a shocking sight.

Regardless of gender or age, no one was spared!

Some of them even had b.l.o.o.d.y holes in their chests.

The person who attacked had not even shown mercy to these ordinary people.

Ridiculous!

Did Huaxia not care?

Ye Chen scanned the entire courtyard, but did not find Jin Lengyans or her fathers bodies.

The two of them had either been on the plane or were missing.

Xiao Deng also walked in at this time. When he saw the corpses, he frowned slightly.

Mr. Ye, the Jin family is one of River Citys most powerful martial arts families. For them to be destroyed like this, the person or faction behind this must possess considerable strength.

Ye Chen looked at Xiao Deng and asked, Hows Dragon Soul investigation in the plane crash coming along?

Xiao Deng shook his head.

Theres no news from Dragon Soul yet. They should be in the process of searching for the plane.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Chens phone rang.

It was Ying Qing.

He pressed the answer b.u.t.ton and Ying Qings voice was heard from the other end of the line.

Mr. Ye, there are preliminary results from the investigation. It was an empty plane. Only the pilot and the first officer were killed. Jin Lengyan and her father were both not on this plane.

But

But what? Ye Chen narrowed his eyes.

Mr. Ye, someone found a corpse near Lins.h.i.+ Lake in River City. After comparison, it matched the profile of Jin Lengyans father, Jin Xiangming. There was a fight at the scene. Although Jin Xiangming was a grandmaster, he was crushed. Moreover, from the autopsy Jin Xiangmings ribs and arms were broken as he tried to delay the perpetrator.

Ye Chens eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this.

Was the jade pendant so valuable?

Were human lives so worthless?

Did you find Jin Lengyan? Ye Chen asked.

Judging from the footprints at the scene, Jin Xiangming stalled the perpetrator to buy time for Jin Lengyan. However, Jin Lengyans footprints suddenly disappeared at Forest Rock Lake, and we dont know where she went. Dragon Soul is still investigating and will update Mr. Ye when they discover any new information.

Alright, thank you for your hard work.

Ye Chen hung up. His gaze was unprecedentedly solemn.

From the looks of it, Jin Lengyan should still be alive, at least for now.

He did not want to interfere in the Jin familys affairs, but the jade pendant had lost its spiritual energy, which had been transferred to the Samsara Graveyard. As such, he could not return the jade pendant to the Jin family.

It was equivalent to him owing the Jin family a huge favor.

Therefore, he would protect Jin Lengyan at all costs, regardless of the forces behind this incident.

He looked at Xiao Deng and said, Return to the Tomson Condominiums yourself.

What about you, Mr. Ye? Xiao Deng asked in surprise.

Dont worry about me. I have my reasons for not following you back.

When Xiao Deng heard this, he acquiesced and drove away.

Now, Ye Chen was the only one left in the courtyard.

Ye Chen looked at the corpses and said calmly, Since 1 owe the Jin family a favor, 1 will avenge your deaths. Furthermore, no one has the right to touch the person I want to protect!

After that, Ye Chen located Jin Lengyans room. He closed his eyes tightly and drew a strange rune in front of him.

It was the Great Dao Searching technique!

One of Jin Lengyans personal items was placed on the rune.

Ye Chen formed a hand seal with his fingers and kept muttering something. As he chanted faster and faster, the rune and the item in front of him actually floated up and started burning green!

Now!

Ye Chen bit his finger and shot out a drop of blood essence. When the blood essence collided with the flames, the flames erupted, and an image appeared in his mind.

On top of a reef, there was a young girl who was completely drenched.

The young girls lips were pale and there was a trace of blood dripping from the corner of her mouth. Her entire body was swollen and her breathing was weak. It was obvious that she was severely injured.

Not far from the girl stood a tall and st.u.r.dy man with a cold expression.

The man looked at the girl and sneered before slowly walking over.

Ye Chen opened his eyes and a monstrous amount of killing intent swept out in all directions!

Downstream of Forest Rock Lake.

The burly man grabbed the unconscious Jin Lengyan with one hand, shaking her awake!

The pain of being shaken around caused Jin Lengyan to wince and awaken. When she saw this mans face, there was only fear in her eyes.

Where is that jade pendant? If you still refuse to tell me, I can guarantee that you will die right here and now!

Jin Lengyan immediately thought of Ye Chen, but she did not want to betray him.

This person was too powerful and his methods were extremely ruthless. Although Ye Chen might be fine, the two women beside him would become easy targets for this man.

At that time, she would be a sinner!

Everyone in the Jin family was dead, so there was no value in continuing to live anyway.

I dont know, Jin Lengyan said decisively.

The burly man sneered and pressed Jin Lengyans face into the water. Suffocated, she struggled desperately.

Half a minute later, Jin Lengyan was pulled out of the water roughly, almost breaking her bones, thrown out. His bones were almost broken!

The mans cold voice rang out, No one has the right to take what is mine! If I want to torture you, I have ten thousand ways of doing so!

I was told that your Jin family is a top martial arts family in River City? Pah! With your familys strength, you are unworthy of being called a martial arts family! Only my Yan family is qualified to be called a true top martial arts family!

When Jin Lengyan heard the last sentence, her gaze turned serious. So this guy was from the Yan family

Was this Yan family from Jiangnan Province? Or Capital City?

d.a.m.n it! If she had known that her fathers friend had brought in such a hot potato, the Jin family would not have accepted it!

Since you still dont plan to tell me, death is the only thing that awaits you. I will use my Yan familys connections to investigate everyone you came into contact with recently. I, Yan Jin, will personally execute each and every one of them!

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Jins body erupted with waves of energy. Then, his palm struck toward Jin Lengyans head!

If it landed, Jin Lengyans life would end and she would die with a headless corpse!

Jin Lengyan felt the terrifying gust of wind in front of her and knew that she would die today.

His heart trembled.

At the last moments of her life, she saw a figure quickly approaching from the distance, walking on water!

The figure was getting closer and closer, as ripples appeared on the surface of the water!

Someone was actually walking on water!

Suddenly, her pupils dilated as she stared at the figure in horror!

Ye Chen!

Why was he here?
