Further Plans: Let Me See Whether Di Juetian Is As the Rumors Say
[The child of fortune still has 700 Heavenly Mandate Value. Once it reaches zero, Master can kill him.]
Hearing the system notification, Di Juetian gave nothing away.
In his previous life, he had read some webnovels and knew that these children of fortune were not so easy to kill.
"You admit I'm handsome. This Divine Son is very pleased, but I don't like your tone."
"Kill everyone from the Li Family, or your father dies."
"You have one breath to decide."
Di Juetian's words fell.
Ye Chen's expression changed drastically.
He wanted to say something more.
But the two black dragons that had coiled around Di Juetian's hand appeared once again, looking down at his father.
Without a second thought, Ye Chen
swung his blade at the Li Family members.
One slash after another.
"I'm sorry, Xi'er. One day, I'll avenge you and your family."
"Di Juetian, I'll remember this. To the heavens or beneath the earth, I'll hunt you down and kill you."
Before long, corpses covered the floor of the hall.
Ye Chen's hand trembled as he held his blade.
No matter how great his rage, he dared not resist.
He was afraid. That was right, he was afraid of that young man.
"Well done."
"You may leave."
When he heard no system notification,
Di Juetian spoke.
Ye Chen took a deep breath.
He was gambling too. Even if Di Juetian had no intention of letting him go, he dared not resist.
Ye Chen's father's legs had long since gone weak with fright.
When Ye Chen carried his father out of the Li Family estate,
he drew a breath of fresh air.
He had survived. Of the Ye Family's thirteen hundred people, only he and his father had survived.
He had not expected Di Juetian to really let him go.
"Di Juetian, the next time we meet, I'll carve your flesh off piece by piece."
"Only then can I begin to ease the hatred in my heart."
Ye Chen left, carrying his father on his back.
"Divine Son, why did you let him go? Let me kill him."
An aged voice rang out.
Di Juetian shook his head.
Even if the speaker went, he would not be able to kill Ye Chen.
After all, this child of fortune still had 700 Heavenly Mandate Value.
But it was impossible for the child of fortune to have everything go his way.
"Go and do something for me."
Di Juetian spoke into the void.
An old man appeared.
"Spread this Recording Jade around."
What it recorded was naturally something Di Juetian had altered.
Though Elder Lin was curious, he asked no further questions.
He was only the Divine Son's guardian.
"Let's go out for a stroll."
Di Juetian spoke.
Just after Di Juetian finished speaking, the void opened.
Immediately afterward, nine Jiao Dragons, each a thousand zhang long, appeared.
Every Jiao Dragon was in the Sage Realm.
They pulled a luxurious palace behind them.
An ancient-looking character for "Di" on it gave off a presence that suppressed heaven and earth.
This was Di Juetian's carriage.
Di Juetian stepped into the palace.
At the same time, the void collapsed over the ten-thousand-li expanse of the Li Family's land.
Groundwater rose, and before long, the land became a vast sea.
Shadowy figures appeared one after another. Looking at the Li Family's land, they fell into thought. The presence was exactly the same as the one at the Tianyang Holy Land.
Looking into the distance at the golden road and the carriage drawn by nine Sage Realm Jiao Dragons, they sighed and vanished.
They could not afford to offend him.
Di Juetian lay in a rocking chair.
A delicate-looking woman stood behind Di Juetian, kneading his shoulders.
"Divine Son, someone is asking about Ye Chen's whereabouts."
Hearing this, Di Juetian said nothing.
"They're from the Heartless Palace. The Heartless Palace's holy maiden has some connection to Ye Chen. She previously stayed with the Ye Family, but she left a while ago."
"After hearing that something had happened in the Tianyang Domain,"
"she began asking about Ye Chen's whereabouts."
"I see."
Di Juetian showed no intention of opening his eyes, and the woman behind him said nothing more, simply continuing to massage him gently.
In a dense forest in the Tianyang Domain,
two figures hid in a cave, neither speaking.
"Who's there?"
Just then, Ye Chen suddenly stood up and drew his blade, watching the approaching figure warily.
A woman appeared, floating in the void.
A veil covered her face.
A small red bell hung from her ankle, which was fair as jade.
From time to time, it gave off a pleasant chime.
"Who are you?"
Ye Chen grew wary.
"Brother Ye Chen, it's been a long time."
Hearing this, a look of sudden realization crossed Ye Chen's face.
Then joy appeared on his face.
"Uncle Ye."
The woman bowed to Ye Lin.
"Are you little Qing?"
Hearing her voice, Ye Lin spoke in disbelief.
The woman removed her veil.
Seeing that it was Leng Qing, Ye Lin suppressed the sorrow in his heart
and smiled.
Then, seeing the way Leng Qing looked at his son, an unreadable look appeared on his face.
"You two talk. I'll go outside and look at the moon."
Ye Chen knew what his father meant.
His face could not help reddening.
As he looked at Leng Qing, his gaze grew a little dazed.
He had not expected the little girl who used to follow him around to have grown so much.
They had only been apart for a few months. He had not expected her to have grown so much.
"Brother Ye Chen, have you been well lately?"
Ye Chen fell silent. Thinking back to when Leng Qing had left, he realized it would have been easy for those who had descended upon his Lineage to investigate him.
Seeing Ye Chen fall silent, a murderous look appeared in Leng Qing's eyes.
But she concealed it well.
"Brother Ye Chen, you're not going to make me stand here the whole time, are you?"
Leng Qing spoke coquettishly.
"Here..."
Ye Chen looked around. There was nowhere to sit.
Only where he had been sitting was there a larger stone.
Leng Qing smiled and looked at Ye Chen.
She sat down beside Ye Chen.
"Brother Ye Chen, did you miss me? Qing'er missed you very much, you know."
"I missed you too, Qing'er."
Ye Chen also suppressed his sorrow and smiled.
Then, as if guided by ghosts and gods, he reached out and rubbed the girl's head.
Leng Qing's eyes were full of smiles.
After a while, Leng Qing came out.
An old woman appeared beside her.
"What did you find out?"
Leng Qing's tone was now icy.
"It's all in here."
The old woman looked at Leng Qing
and took out a piece of jade.
When Leng Qing saw what was inside,
Leng Qing crushed the stone on the spot.
"Go and gather up the jade. Do not let it spread any further. Kill anyone who stands in your way."
"Was the Di Lineage really involved?"
Before Leng Qing came, he had heard that the Di Lineage's Divine Son was also in this place.
"Most likely."
The old woman looked troubled.
"Miss, that poor boy Ye Chen really isn't worthy of you."
"Why must you...?"
"Silence. It's not your place to interfere in what I do."
Leng Qing gave the old woman before him a cold glance.
There was none of the warmth he had shown when he met Ye Chen.
The old woman said nothing more and sighed.
"The Di Lineage's Divine Son? Rumor has it he has the makings of an immortal. How interesting!"
"Let's go. Let me see whether the fellow who reduced Brother Ye Chen to such a sorry state is really as the rumors say."
