Luo Yao crossed her arms.

“This kid exudes a dense pill aura from his body. I’ve been refining pills all my life, so I can naturally sense it. Moreover, if I’m not wrong, this kid’s alchemy grade is above mine! He might have even refined an ancient pill!”

Elder Qiu’s expression changed drastically when he heard this.

The Young Miss was the genius from the Core Tower. Even in the Land of Slaughter Grounds, her Alchemy Dao was far superior to the insufferably arrogant Hong Tao.

Furthermore, the young miss was extremely arrogant in her own right when it came to alchemy. He had followed the young miss for so many years, but had never seen the young miss admit that someone else was better at alchemy than she was.

However, at this moment, the young miss said this with absolute certainty!

What kind of person was that kid?

Luo Yao then instructed Elder Qiu, “Elder Qiu, find a way to investigate this young man’s background. Also, follow this kid personally. Remember to keep your distance and don’t get close! Don’t offend him! This kid is extremely important to our family!”

“Yes, Young Miss.”

Soon, Elder Qiu’s figure turned into a blur and disappeared, leaving Luo Yao alone in the herb shop.

She narrowed her eyes and looked at the night sky.

“Ye Chen? Interesting. I’ve seen two potential candidates from the Land of Slaughter today. One is Ye Shitian, and the other is Ye Chen. Hmm? They are both surnamed Ye. Could there be some connection?”

“I have my eyes on both of them, but I’m not qualified to fight for Ye Shitian. Ye Chen, however, is an opportunity.”

Ye Chen left the herb shop and went to Hong Tao’s residence.

At this moment, it was brightly lit, and origin realm experts came and went, clearly searching for evidence.

Ye Chen narrowed his eyes and went straight to a remote back door.

There were only a few people guarding this entrance, and very few people passed by.

“Stop!”

A few spears were pointed at Ye Chen.

“Unauthorized people are not allowed to approach. Scram!”

The cold threatening voice rang out, but Ye Chen did not move.

He released his spiritual sense, and soon realized that the surroundings were clear.

“Why aren’t you leaving yet?!”

One of Hong Tao’s subordinates was a little angry. After all, now that Hong Tao was gone, their future was also worrying.

It would all depend on whether the Lord of Slaughter would accept them.

He did not care what Ye Chen’s goal was, and tried to stab Ye Chen’s heart.

Just as the spear was about to pierce Ye Chen’s body, Ye Chen shook his head helplessly. He extended two fingers and grabbed the tip of the spear that was overflowing with energy like a pair of pincers, stopping it in its tracks.

“I’ll give you a chance. If you knock yourself unconscious, I won’t kill you!”

When the rest of them heard such provocative words, their expressions changed drastically. Moments later, all of their weapons were aimed at Ye Chen.

“Little b*stard, you’re courting death!”

“It seems that you have already made your choice,” Ye Chen said calmly.

He channeled power into his two fingers, and lightning shot out!

Kacha!

The speartip shattered into pieces, and the fragments scattered in all directions.

Puchi! Puchi!

As if guided by some mysterious power, the fragments of the spear tip all shot straight into the foreheads of these experts, killing them all!

“Why didn’t you cherish your lives?” Ye Chen shook his head.

With that, he disappeared through the back door.

As for whether someone would find out, it was none of his concern.

Once he got the cauldron, he would leave immediately.

Hong Tao’s mansion was like a maze, so Ye Chen only found Hong Tao’s alchemy room with great difficulty.

What surprised him was that this alchemy room was actually covered by a formation. It was obvious that someone had sealed this place after Hong Tao’s death.

Once the seal was broken, it would definitely be discovered by the person who set up the formation!

“However, I don’t care!”

Ye Chen drew the Dragonslayer Heaven Sword and activated his life rune. Infusing the sword with the power of lightning, he swung it at the formation!

Rumble!

An earth-shattering explosion erupted, and the entire mansion seemed to tremble.

The formation was broken!

Ye Chen blasted open the stone door and rushed inside, and immediately spotted a huge cauldron lying quietly there.

There were dozens of skeletons around the cauldron!

Very clearly, these people were Hong Tao’s previous human sacrifices.

The cauldron was simple and unadorned, and exuded a thick scent of blood.

“I don’t know why the Lord of Slaughter wanted Hong Tao so much. Was it really just to refine pills? Could it be that he has some secret?”

“Otherwise, he wouldn’t have sent someone to seal this place with a formation so quickly.”

Suddenly, Ye Chen felt a sharp pain between his eyebrows, and he could clearly feel that his eyes were gradually turning red.

At the same time, a voice kept ringing out in his mind…

“Take this!”

Ye Chen’s gaze seemed to be controlled by an inexplicable force as it swept toward a box, upon which was engraved the image of a skeleton.

A trace of evil energy seeped out from the box!

“It seems that this box is the reason why the evil dragon bead is acting up. It’s likely that this is related to the Lord of Slaughter!”

Ye Chen clenched his fist and threw the box into the Samsara Graveyard together with Hong Tao’s cauldron.

Then, just as he was about to push open the stone door and leave, his spiritual sense discovered strong killing intent surging outside!

He was surrounded!

“Damn it!”

Ye Chen knew that once the formation was broken, someone would notice immediately, but he had not expected them to arrive so soon!

Could it be that someone had been lying in ambush here?

His current appearance could not be revealed, so he put on a mask

Suddenly, a powerful wave of energy surged, and the door was shattered, creating a cloud of smoke and dust.

When the dust settled, Ye Chen found a large group of experts outside.

There were more than ten origin realm experts leading the group!

Ye Chen’s eyes turned serious. He no longer had the sword technique Duan Leiren left behind for him, and the silver needle could not be activated for some time.

Furthermore, it was impossible for Lin Qingxuan to come out and help him, nor for the Black Tiger King to make it here in time.

Right now, he was without a doubt isolated and helpless!

It would be very difficult for him to kill his way out!

An old man in a long robe walked out of the group. He stared curiously at the masked Ye Chen and asked, “Who are you? Did Ye Shitian send you here?”

Although both Ye Shitian and the young man in front of him wore masks, he did not treat Ye Chen as Ye Shitian because he could sense the seriousness in the other party’s eyes the moment his group of experts appeared.

If this young man was Ye Shitian, he would have started a massacre long ago. Moreover, Ye Shitian had already left the Land of Slaughter, so how could he possibly return?

“Brat, did you not hear my question? Why did you destroy the formation and barge into this forbidden area? What did you take from here? Hand it over!”

“If you don’t speak, I’ll cut off your head!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the group’s killing intent surged toward Ye Chen!

It was as if Ye Chen was a lamb waiting to be slaughtered!
