Wen Daoxian appeared silently behind Ye Guichen like a cat walking the night road, even without Ye Guichen noticing.
Along with Wen Daoxian, there were four other skilled fighters.
Those four positioned themselves around Ye Guichen, looking at him as if he were a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
It seemed Su Jiu'er heard something too. She slowly opened her eyes and upon seeing Ye Guichen, screamed in surprise, "Ye, you've come to rescue me?"
Ye Guichen was speechless, "Your dear brother hasn't called yet."
"Hmph, at a time like this, did you come alone? Where's my brother? Did he find any help? This Wen Daoxian is very powerful, you must have brought help, right?" Su Jiu'er, having eaten nothing, was now somewhat disheveled, her throat dry. But upon seeing Ye Guichen by himself, she couldn't help but feel panicked.
Although she hadn't been in contact with Wen Daoxian for long, Su Jiu'er had developed a heartfelt fear towards him.
It wasn't just about Wen Daoxian's cultivation, but also about Wen Daoxian as a person.
Just one look at Wen Daoxian would give anyone an inexplicable sense of his insidious nature.
Yet, when facing such a person, one seems utterly helpless.
Wen Daoxian appeared to be in his forties or fifties, of average build, average looks, blending into a crowd, one would struggle to remember his face after several glances.
Ye Guichen was unsure if this was Wen Daoxian's real appearance, but when Ti'er Taoist saw Wen Daoxian before, he recognized him at once, likely making this his real face.
Ye Guichen ignored Su Jiu'er's panic, instead, he looked towards Wen Daoxian with a smile, "You were indeed hard to find!"
"Hehe, since you could find this place, it seems you do have some skills." Wen Daoxian gazed coldly at Ye Guichen, "I really thought you didn't care about this girl, but now it shows you were just deceiving me! With this, it makes things much easier."
Wen Daoxian pointed at Su Jiu'er, "You can take her away; from now on, we shall ignore each other. But there's one thing, hand over the Lotus Jade and I will recommend you to the president of the Azure Dragon Commerce, how about that?"
Ye Guichen shrugged, "Just forget about the Lotus Jade."
"Hahaha, do you even know what it is?" Wen Daoxian wasn't in a hurry, with Ye Guichen daring to come alone, walking into a trap was inevitable.
With his skills and his four Jingang, Ye Guichen stood no chance of escaping.
Ye Guichen faintly smiled, "Please, enlighten me."
Wen Daoxian sat beside Su Jiu'er, picked up a small knife, and waved it in front of Su Jiu'er's face, scaring her to the point her eyes almost popped out.
She didn't dare take a deep breath, let alone say any harsh words.
"Actually, for an ordinary person, the Lotus Jade is useless. Even our president doesn't know its exact use, but someone told our president that one Lotus Jade is worth a hundred billion. That's like money falling from the sky, we can't miss that!" Wen Daoxian said gloomily.
Ye Guichen was quite startled, "That expensive? Then I definitely can't give it to you."
"Today, you have no choice!" Wen Daoxian suddenly swiped his hand.
Countless plum needles shot straight towards Ye Guichen.
Su Jiu'er was instantly terrified and turned pale, "Ye Guichen, I thought you were capable. What kind of hero are you playing alone!"
The plum needles had already reached Ye Guichen.
Ye Guichen squinted, and his body moved suddenly.
He didn't dodge; instead, he grabbed a big man beside him and used him as a shield.
Spurt! Spurt!
The plum needles went straight into that man's body.
The others' pupils contracted, and they were furious, "Courting death!"
The three charged forward at once.
They had no weapons, all bare-handed.
But as they threw punches, it sounded like thunder roared in the underground room.
"So strong!" was Ye Guichen's first impression.
Those punches could probably put holes in a steel plate.
From their looks, they must've trained in some kind of Secret Technique.
Wen Daoxian smiled faintly, raising his head, "Leave him alive, I still want him to reveal the location of the Lotus Jade."
As he spoke, the three's punches were already in front of Ye Guichen.
Ye Guichen stomped fiercely, his entire demeanor changing instantly.
This time, Ye Guichen didn't dodge either, but instead punched towards the nearest person.
Bam!
Punches clashed.
That person's mouth twisted into a savage grin.
"Courting death!"
Daring to go punch for punch, one must have a death wish.
However, the next second, that person's pupils shrank suddenly because his fist began to explode.
That's right, completely exploding.
Before he could react, his entire arm burst open, as if a powerful force erupted from inside.
After punching, Ye Guichen didn't stop, circling around the wounded big man, he grabbed another hand, and threw him. The big man flew like a kite, crashing into another big man.
Seeing things go wrong, he tried to dodge, but Ye Guichen had already rushed over, "I didn't want to fight!"
As he spoke, Ye Guichen clutched his throat and squeezed gently.
Death!
Only one remained, eyes filled with dread.
Ye Guichen clapped his hands, "Wen Daoxian, such low-level fighters are unworthy of your identity!"
Wen Daoxian's eyelids twitched.
These four were his Jingang, each a Mid Grade second-rate master, all physically strong, and their fists were real iron fists.
Yet, in such a short time, three were down, leaving one whose courage had shattered.
"You're a top-tier expert?" Wen Daoxian finally realized the situation. No wonder Ye Guichen was so reckless; only a top-tier expert could act like this.
As he spoke, Wen Daoxian moved behind Su Jiu'er, placing his knife against her neck, "Ye Guichen, I didn't expect you to be this strong, but if you don't agree to my demand today, I will definitely kill her!"
"Wen Daoxian, how dare you!" Before Ye Guichen could respond, Ti'er Taoist had already rushed in, angrily shouting at Wen Daoxian, "Put down your knife and come back to our sect to be judged, or else I will surely kill you today!"
Wen Daoxian's hand trembled slightly.
He glanced at Ti'er Taoist, then at Ye Guichen. Knowing it was impossible to escape today, he suddenly burst into laughter, "Senior Brother, since you've come, I will naturally obey you."
With that, he really dropped the knife, walked to Ti'er Taoist, and extended his hands, "Senior Brother, people have their aspirations. I haven't done anything too evil; even if we return to the sect, my sins aren't deadly!"
Ti'er Taoist was stunned, not expecting Wen Daoxian to surrender so easily, frowning as he prepared to seek credit from Ye Guichen. But then, Wen Daoxian's hands flipped, and two cold lights shot towards his eyes.
"Hahaha, Senior Brother, you still trust people too easily!" Wen Daoxian laughed, dashing towards the exit.
Ti'er Taoist's expression changed dramatically, intending to dodge, but Wen Daoxian struck too swiftly, leaving no time to react.
In an instant, the two cold lights stabbed into his eyes.
"Ah…!" Ti'er Taoist screamed in agony, "Wen Daoxian, I swear to kill you!"
