"Ye Chen!" Su Binglan threw herself into Ye Chen's arms as soon as she saw him, the typically formidable witch sobbing uncontrollably.
"Ye Chen, we almost got killed. If Yun Xianghan hadn't arrived in time, you wouldn't see us anymore!" Chu Yanran also approached Ye Chen, her tears streaming down profusely.
"What exactly happened?" Ye Chen wiped the tears from their faces, seeking to understand the situation.
"Some major families in the capital, dozens of wealthy clans formed an alliance, forcibly pressuring us to sell our company shares to them!" Su Binglan said, her emotions settling slightly.
With a gentle face, Su Binglan looked at Ye Chen as if his presence alone meant the sky could fall and she wouldn't be scared, Ye Chen giving her that sense of security.
"Dozens of wealthy clan alliances can intimidate you, but can they also threaten Yun Xianghan?" Ye Chen frowned.
In the eyes of ordinary people, these secular wealthy families are lofty, but in the eyes of a Land God, they are nothing but chickens and dogs.
"I don't know!" Su Binglan shook her head in bewilderment. "Zhang Xinlan, Chu Yanran, and I were all pressured at the same time, so we gathered together to discuss matters when suddenly we were attacked by a group of strong individuals, all Grandmasters. We fought them for a while, but eventually we contacted Yun Xianghan, and she came out to help us break free!"
"However, after Yun Xianghan arrived, she briefly fought with the same mysterious strong person and then fled with us in disarray."
"Yun Xianghan didn't tell us much, just urged us to contact you as quickly as possible and to have you take charge. She mentioned that only you could solve this issue!"
"Afterward, we've been hiding here because with Dragon Head in charge, those mysterious individuals wouldn't dare to mess around." Su Binglan organized the events and disclosed them all to Ye Chen.
"Where is Yun Xianghan?" asked Ye Chen.
"She's in that room, treating Zhang Xinlan's injuries!" Su Binglan pointed to a side room.
"Zhang Xinlan is injured!" Ye Chen's eyes widened in anger, a hint of murderous aura surfacing.
Zhang Xinlan and Ye Chen were childhood sweethearts, a beautiful part of his heart!
Now, Zhang Xinlan was injured and needed Yun Xianghan's rescue, filling Ye Chen with intense fury.
Without further words, Ye Chen strode towards the side room pointed out by Su Binglan.
"Creak." Ye Chen pushed the door open.
Upon entering, Ye Chen saw Zhang Xinlan's pale face; her white lips hinted at her unconscious state.
Yun Xianghan's jade-like hands emitted a faint glow, continuously imprinting on Zhang Xinlan's body, seemingly suppressing the injuries within her.
"Ye Chen, you're here." Yun Xianghan, seeing Ye Chen, showed a look of delight.
"Zhang Xinlan has lost consciousness. Are her injuries severe?" Ye Chen looked at Zhang Xinlan with a hint of pain surfacing in his heart.
"Severe," Yun Xianghan solemnly said. "Zhang Xinlan was attacked by a peak Grandmaster, a punch shattered her viscera. If I hadn't consumed my vital energy to desperately maintain her condition, she would've died long ago."
"But I can only maintain her condition; I absolutely can't heal her!"
"Luckily, you arrived just in time!" Yun Xianghan looked at Ye Chen somewhat relieved.
Ye Chen was not only a divine fighter but also had considerable achievements in medicine; he could heal Zhang Xinlan's condition.
Approaching Zhang Xinlan, Ye Chen saw her pallid face and couldn't help feeling a surge of sorrow, guilt, self-reproach, and anger.
Ye Chen bent down, touching Zhang Xinlan's heart pulse and found her life was not in danger, yet he was not in a hurry to administer aid at that moment.
"Her condition is fairly stable," Ye Chen told Yun Xianghan. "You've had it hard these days, consuming so much vital energy to keep her condition stable."
"I'm the eldest in the family, Xinlan is my sister. What does spending some vital energy count for?" Yun Xianghan smiled charmingly, always making clear her position as the elder.
"Silly woman!" Ye Chen smiled warmly.
Remembering the past while looking at the present, Ye Chen felt a mix of emotions and didn't know what else to say.
"Who is it?" Ye Chen suddenly asked.
Yun Xianghan stiffened, her expression turning somewhat unnatural.
With Ye Chen's question, the warm and romantic atmosphere was suddenly filled with a deadly aura.
"I've been wondering since I arrived, who has such great power that even you are helpless, and even Yun Zheyue remains willingly silent!"
"But, pondering over and over, I still couldn't guess."
"Su Binglan told me the capital's dozens of wealthy clans allied together, deliberately oppressing them. Yet, the power of these clans shouldn't make you helpless, nor do they have the right to keep Yun Zheyue silent."
"So, I'm curious to know, who is the mastermind behind this?"
Ye Chen held Yun Xianghan, whispering gently by her ear in a very soothing and sweet tone as if he were speaking endearments.
However, Yun Xianghan could feel Ye Chen's rage, murderous aura, and killing intent!
"Haven't you already guessed it?" Yun Xianghan said, holding Ye Chen's arm.
"I have guessed, but I'm somewhat reluctant to believe," Ye Chen sighed. "The calamity from heaven and earth hasn't yet arrived, so how could such a force emerge so swiftly."
"Moreover, even if they have emerged, why would they target me!" Ye Chen was puzzled.
"Although these powers are transcendent, they still need resources. Their purpose for appearing in the world is to plunder resources!"
"Wanshi Medicine's development is too rapid. I don't know how many people have coveted it. Such transcendent forces have found the major families, and naturally, these families will serve as their dogs."
"So, considering everything together, they have been oppressed, and those people want to swallow your resources!"
Yun Xianghan, as the head of the Dragon Group, naturally knew the secrets of the world and was very clear about this matter.
However, the force behind the family alliance was too transcendent, and Yun Xianghan was somewhat reluctant to make Ye Chen their enemy.
"Ye Chen, although you are unbeatable now, you are still immature compared to those forces. Why don't you just let go of these resources and not make enemies with them?" Yun Xianghan said.
"Do you think I would let go?" Ye Chen said with a smile.
"I know you won't, but I just wanted to say it." Yun Xianghan said.
Yun Xianghan knew Ye Chen's character; she knew he would never let go and would not tolerate anyone harming his woman.
However, the enemy's unprecedented strength worried Yun Xianghan.
"You don't need to worry about me!" Ye Chen said. "I have a Supreme Mysterious Ancestor behind me. Even if those forces want to deal with me, they must consider the Mysterious Ancestor behind me."
"Moreover, the Great Venerable of the Other Shore is competing in the Canglan Realm, not in our realm at all." Ye Chen said. "Aside from the Great Venerable of the Other Shore, I fear no one!"
"The ancient families inherit from ancient times and are the most transcendent forces in the world, among which are countless powerful heroes. I really want to experience them!" At this point, Ye Chen's eyes sparkled, and an inexplicable energy surged around him.
The forces behind those families are not just any top figures but a cluster of transcendent forces known collectively as the ancient families!
The ancient families have profound inheritances and have created countless strong figures through the ages. Thus, this force has sustained itself and maintained a transcendent status.
In ancient times, dynasties would decline, but the ancient families would not.
Now, as the heavenly and earthly calamities approach, the hidden ancient families have surfaced, intending to snatch worldly resources.
Ye Chen can't interfere with the ancient families fighting for resources, but when they try to take resources from Ye Chen... that's where the problem arises.
Ye Chen always valued his possessions. Someone trying to take his estate for no reason and almost killing his wife...
What should Ye Chen do? Should he kill? Or kill? Or kill?
Ye Chen's killing intent was strong; he wanted to declare war on the ancient families, punishing and killing those who hurt his woman!
"The Great Venerable of the Other Shore is not in this realm; your cultivation indeed allows you to fear no one, but each ancient family has numerous masters. They can form groups like land gods!" Yun Xianghan turned to look at Ye Chen. "You can kill one, ten, but can you kill a hundred?"
The reason why the ancient families are transcendent and invincible is not only because of the Other Shore's presence, but also because their combined strength is powerful!
This force, besides the Great Venerable of the Other Shore, includes many land gods, and the Ten Dragons Taboo, and it's not just one or two, ten or twenty, but directly hundreds!
Moreover, among these forces are dominant figures like Land God, Na Wudao, Yun Zheyue. Even if there aren't many at their level, they certainly exist!
Although Ye Chen himself is invincible, against such a colossus, he will absolutely suffer.
"So what do you want me to do?" Ye Chen said. "Do you want me to lie low in silence, suffer silently, and wait until I Transcend the Other Shore to seek vengeance?"
Ye Chen knew Yun Xianghan cared for him, but his nature was full of pride; he couldn't become a person who could endure humiliation.
"No," Yun Xianghan shook her head. "I know there's a sharpness hidden in your bones; I'm not asking you to flee without fighting, nor to covertly bide your time or endure in silence."
"I just want to tell you, if you can't kill a hundred, I can help you kill them together!" Yun Xianghan smiled faintly, her gaze at Ye Chen full of tenderness.
"You!" Ye Chen was shaken.
He hadn't expected Yun Xianghan to make such a stand, so he was touched for a moment.
"Ever since you despicably won me over, I've fallen deeper and deeper into your sweet words." Yun Xianghan essentially confessed her feelings.
"Yun Xianghan, I love you." Ye Chen looked at this woman, this woman willing to die with him.
"..."
Ye Chen had arrived, so it was time to treat Zhang Xinlan's injury.
With Ye Chen's medical skills, merely prescribing a medicine, along with True Qi healing and acupuncture as auxiliary treatment, Zhang Xinlan would soon be cured.
However, Yun Xianghan knew Ye Chen's plan; he would definitely not use this method but chose a more direct approach.
"Xiang Han," Ye Chen called to the departing Yun Xianghan.
"Is there anything else?" Yun Xianghan asked.
"Killing them one by one is too troublesome. Go out and tell Su Binglan and the others to gather those people together. I want to take them all out in one go!" Ye Chen said.
"Understood!" Yun Xianghan nodded gently; she knew Ye Chen was about to go on a killing spree.
Finally, Yun Xianghan drifted away, leaving only Ye Chen and the unconscious Zhang Xinlan in the room.
