Chapter 95: Blood-Colored World

"Halt, this is the Ye Family residence; idlers are not permitted to enter."

The three of them had just arrived before the Ye Family gate when they were blocked by two aggressive guards.

Wang Jianqiang's gaze swept over the two.

Both were at the Qi Refining third layer, the same cultivation level as the Gatekeeper of the Su Family.

However, compared to the Su Family's Gatekeeper, the mental fortitude of these two was clearly much stronger.

There was not the slightest trace of panic or fear in their eyes.

Wang Jianqiang looked at the two, "We are disciples of the Hehuan Sect, here to deal with the Demonic Cultivators in Black Water City, and wish to see your Clan Head."

Upon hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, the guards' eyes flashed.

"Wait a moment."

Having said that, one of them immediately ran into the courtyard.

Seeing this, Wang Jianqiang raised an eyebrow and waited without a word.

A moment later, a young man walked out.

When he saw Wang Yu Yao and Mu Lingxi, a look of obvious amazement flashed through his eyes.

He then looked at Wang Jianqiang, who was standing in the center of the three, and said with a face full of smiles, "I am Ye Chong, son of the Ye Clan Leader, representing the family to welcome the three high disciples of the Hehuan Sect."

"My father discovered traces of Demonic Cultivators a few days ago and went out to track them; he has yet to return."

"I shall temporarily host the three honored guests, and I hope the three of you will not take offense."

As he spoke, he made a gesture of invitation.

At the same time, the information regarding this Ye Family young master had already appeared in Wang Jianqiang's mind.

"Name: Ye Chong

Gender: Male

Cultivation: Foundation Establishment Mid-stage

Age: 50/200

Root Bone: Fire, Wind, and Earth Three-line Spiritual Root

Good and Evil Value: -90"

After reading his information, Wang Jianqiang was startled.

It was actually Foundation Establishment Mid-stage!

A 50-year-old Foundation Establishment Mid-stage Cultivator could be called a "genius" even within the Hehuan Sect.

The young master of a small cultivation family, who had not joined a sect and only cultivated in the secular world, had actually broken through to the Foundation Establishment Mid-stage at only 50 years old!

If his natural talent were astonishing, that would be one thing, but he only had a Three-line Spiritual Root.

No matter how one looked at it, it was somewhat bizarre.

More importantly.

They were clearly visiting Black Water City for the first time.

This Ye Chong's Good and Evil Value toward him was actually as low as -90!

This was a level of hatred bordering on irreconcilable.

Could it be because of Ye Lingyun?

Wang Jianqiang's heart stirred, then he regained his composure and smiled at Ye Chong.

"Then I will have to trouble Brother Ye."

After saying this, he followed Ye Chong toward the inner courtyard of the Ye Family.

Along the way, Ye Chong chatted and laughed, his smile gentle.

Wang Jianqiang even felt some admiration for this guy.

Even though he clearly wished for him to die immediately in his heart, he could still be as friendly and enthusiastic on the surface as if treating a good friend.

While conversing with Ye Chong, Wang Jianqiang looked around from time to time.

The Ye Family courtyard was extremely large.

The guards and servants coming and going were orderly.

Children playing ran past from time to time, a scene of peace and warmth.

A moment later.

The four of them arrived in a room.

Wang Jianqiang asked about the situation in the city as usual.

Ye Chong's answers were roughly the same as Su Tong's.

After the inquiry, Wang Jianqiang was about to take the two women and leave.

Ye Chong's Sound Transmission Talisman suddenly lit up.

His expression changed, and he hurriedly called out to Wang Jianqiang and the other two.

"Wait, the three of you, my father has found the hiding place of the Demonic Sect cultivators!"

……

One hundred miles outside of Black Water City, there was a canyon shrouded in mist all year round.

The interior of the canyon was dim, and visibility was extremely low.

Under Ye Chong's lead, Wang Jianqiang and the other two rushed here at top speed.

"The hiding place of the Demonic Sect cultivators is here?"

Wang Jianqiang swept the canyon with his Spirit Sense and looked at Ye Chong in front.

Ye Chong nodded, "To be precise, it is underground in this canyon."

As he spoke, a flash of anxiety crossed his face, "We must hurry; the enemy has a full three Foundation Establishment Mid-stage Cultivators. If it were only dealing with one, my father could still manage, but with the three of them joining forces, my father cannot hold on for long."

Saying this, he pointed toward a volcano ahead, "The entrance is right there."

After finishing, he accelerated and flew toward the volcano.

"This Ye Chong is certainly bold enough; a mere Qi Refining Consummation Cultivator, yet he dares to participate in a battle of Foundation Establishment level Cultivators."

Seeing Ye Chong take the lead, Wang Yu Yao could not help but mutter.

Mu Lingxi felt the same and nodded.

Wang Jianqiang smiled.

This Ye Chong must possess a treasure on his person that conceals his aura, and its grade must even be above Mu Lingxi's Crystal Ball.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to deceive Mu Lingxi.

The Ye Family actually possesses a treasure of this grade!

Thinking of this, his heart stirred.

Looking into the volcano, a Golden Light flashed and vanished within his pupils.

A cold sneer immediately appeared on his face.

He followed Ye Chong and flew all the way down along the volcanic crater.

After flying downward for about two thousand zhang, a vast Underground World appeared in his line of sight.

That was a world of blood.

The earth had completely turned a red-black color after being drenched in blood, and rotting corpses were discarded on the ground at will, like a mass grave, making one's scalp tingle.

The pungent scent of blood and decay that rushed toward them was nauseating.

"Is this the lair of the Demonic Sect Cultivators?"

Wang Yu Yao looked around, her brows tightly furrowed.

Hearing this, Wang Jianqiang did not speak, but looked at Ye Chong in front.

Just at this moment, Ye Chong suddenly gave a strange smile.

He stomped his foot fiercely onto the ground.

Densely packed blood-colored runes instantly emerged on the ground within a radius of several hundred zhang.

At a glance, the entire earth was glowing with blood-colored light.

"Ye Chong, what have you done!!"

Seeing this scene, Wang Yu Yao and Mu Lingxi's expressions changed simultaneously, and they were about to rush toward Ye Chong.

"Do not move."

Just at this moment, Wang Jianqiang suddenly pulled them back, "This place has already turned into a Killing Array; one wrong step will trigger the Array's attack."

"If you rush in blindly, you will stir up great trouble."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, the two women were stunned.

"You even understand Arrays?" Mu Lingxi could not help but ask.

Wang Jianqiang smiled upon hearing this and turned his head to look at Ye Chong.

Ye Chong had only walked forward a few steps casually before he had already reached the outside of the Formation.

"Finally unable to resist making a move? I thought you would lead me to your father before acting."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Ye Chong was taken aback, then sneered, "Playing god and acting like a ghost."

Wang Jianqiang smiled, "I not only know you would make a move against me, but I also know that the true culprit behind the slaughter of the Black Water City residents is not someone from the Demonic Sect, but your Ye Family."

Ye Chong's pupils constricted, "How did you know?"

Wang Jianqiang smiled, "Ever since we entered Black Water City, everyone we saw along the way had a look of panic and unease."

"Even the Su Family, which is as famous as your Ye Family, is no exception."

"Yet the people of your Ye Family all have stable expressions, and even the children did not show the slightest unease; it is hard not to make one suspicious."

There was one more point Wang Jianqiang did not mention.

That was that Ye Chong had shown astonishing malice toward them the moment they met.

Although he hid it well, it could not deceive the system's monitoring.

Originally, he thought perhaps it was his grudge with Ye Lingyun that had been passed back, but combined with the behavior of the Ye Family members.

The result was very obvious.

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Ye Chong suddenly started to laugh.

"You guessed correctly; the disappearance of the Black Water City residents was indeed done by my Ye Family."

"You clearly guessed that I would deal with you, yet you still jumped in seeking death; I really don't know whether to call you arrogant or stupid."

Wang Jianqiang looked at the surrounding Formation, "Do you think you can kill me with this Formation here?"

"What? Is it not enough?" Ye Chong sneered, "Don't say the three of you; even if ten Foundation Establishment Perfection level Cultivators fell into this Formation, don't even think about coming out alive."

"Is that so? Then you had better watch closely."

Wang Jianqiang smiled, grabbed the wrists of Wang Yu Yao and Mu Lingxi with his hands respectively, and golden light welled up in his pupils.

"Follow me closely!"

He gave a low shout, and then his speed exploded.

In a few turns, he rushed out of the Formation.

The sneer on Ye Chong's face instantly froze.
