Chapter 85: Grudge Seed

Ye Chen got through to Bai Yuan's phone, and after receiving Ye Chen's call, Bai Yuan was overjoyed.

Ye Chen heard Bai Yuan's excited voice, but he didn't say much, instead letting Bai Yuan tell him his location, that he would arrive in half an hour.

At Ye Chen's current speed, even crossing the whole of China would take less than an hour, so half an hour is just his estimate; in reality it will be even faster.

When Bai Yuan told Ye Chen he was in Seafacing, Ye Chen rushed there quickly.

Ye Chen arrived in Seafacing in less than thirteen minutes.

Upon seeing Ye Chen, Bai Yuan's eyes filled with uncontainable excitement.

"Ye Chen, this time—"

However, before Bai Yuan could finish speaking, Ye Chen interrupted, "Let's make it short: this time China was attacked by demon beasts and Westerners, not by chance, but by those unknown experts from beyond Xingkong."

Ye Chen said "wah", Bai Yuan's expression turned solemn, and he said, "Actually we already knew about this."

"Huh?!"

Ye Chen was somewhat confused; he only knew about the experts beyond Xingkong because of the system and muddy eye, and he hadn't expected that the officials also already knew.

Seeing Ye Chen's confused expression, Bai Yuan laughed and said:

"No need to be so surprised; we have satellites."

After Bai Yuan finished speaking, Ye Chen immediately cursed his own stupid brain for forgetting this.

In this technological world, satellites are commonplace; they can shine on Xingkong and take photos, thus explaining why the officials know about the experts beyond Xingkong.

"Do you know any more information?"

Ye Chen asked.

Just as he finished saying that, Bai Yuan helplessly shook his head and said, "We don't know; after obtaining three extremely blurry photos, the satellite was destroyed."

After hearing Bai Yuan's words, Ye Chen frowned slightly and asked, "Can I look at those three blurry photos?"

Ye Chen looked at Bai Yuan and asked.

After he finished asking, Bai Yuan nodded at him and said, "Sure, I'll get it for you now."

After Bai Yuan finished speaking, he took out his phone, scrolled through the album, but soon his expression grew solemn; Ye Chen noticed and asked, "What's wrong?"

"The person in the photos... is gone!"

Bai Yuan said in shock, and just as his words fell, the muddy eye's voice suddenly rang in Ye Chen's mind: "No need to be so surprised; after you reach Nascent Soul, you too will be able to do this, let alone that it is still a Unity Realm."

The muddy eye spoke flatly, seeming to have little respect for experts of the Unity Realm.

After the muddy eye finished speaking, Ye Chen also understood what was happening: those experts beyond Xingkong had sensed that someone had photographed them, used a small trick, and erased all traces of their existence.

"I roughly know what's going on: those experts beyond Xingkong erased traces of their own existence; whether you look or not doesn't matter, and I didn't come here for this."

"What is that?"

After Ye Chen finished speaking, Bai Yuan immediately responded.

"I came here to tell you that a great change is imminent; you must have sensed it too—the concentration of spiritual energy is increasing, and the suppression of heavenly and earthly power is growing stronger."

However, after Ye Chen finished speaking, Bai Yuan's eyes were full of confusion.

"How could a wild cultivator like him, with such weak perception of the laws of power, know these things?"

The muddy eye's voice again suddenly rang in Ye Chen's mind; the muddy eye seemed to be quickly becoming Ye Chen's teacher on his cultivation path.

Ye Chen coughed embarrassedly twice, then said to Bai Yuan, "Put simply, it's the era of universal cultivation... that's coming."

After Ye Chen finished speaking, Bai Yuan widened his eyes; after universal cultivation begins, the things they will have to face are numerous.

Order will be reset, science overturned, and they will also have to face the inflated ambitions of some "geniuses" after they gain power.

So much, so much; they all need to do it.

"I've delivered my message; the rest is up to you."

After Ye Chen finished speaking, just as he was about to turn and leave, his voice sounded again: "By the way, I've already destroyed M Country, so in the short term no one or demon beast will attack China; just relax and prepare for the aftermath of the great change."

After Ye Chen spoke, his figure vanished on the spot; Bai Yuan stared at the place where Ye Chen disappeared, dazedly saying, "M Country... destroyed? Over a million people, destroyed?"

Bai Yuan was utterly shocked; although M Country had mysteriously lost many people before, it still had a million!

But Ye Chen now says it has been destroyed by him, which means that in these few days Ye Chen has slaughtered a million people!

This number is something he wouldn't even dare dream of!

Actually, Ye Chen didn't slaughter a million over several days; he did it in half a day!

Who knows what Bai Yuan will think upon hearing this news?

Of course, he won't know, because Ye Chen doesn't intend to mention these meaningless things.

At this moment, Ye Chen was rushing home at high speed, but halfway he suddenly changed direction.

"I need to go see Zhang Xiaoxiao and then apologize to her."

Ye Chen thought to himself, turned his direction toward Wanbao Pavilion; in his perception, Ji An, Zhang Hai, and Zhang Xiaoxiao are together right now.

On his way to Wanbao Pavilion, Ye Chen also bought a few lollipops.

What's best to coax a little girl? Of course it's lollipops; if one isn't enough, then two, adding the number—little girls are easiest to coax, yet also hardest, depending on that person's status in the little girl's heart.

Ye Chen's figure quickly appeared in front of Wanbao Pavilion's door; at that moment, Zhang Hai and the others were on the second floor. Ye Chen was already very familiar with this place, and the guards had long recognized him, so he directly entered Wanbao Pavilion and went up to the second floor.

Before he even reached the second floor, he heard Zhang Hai's voice.

"Xiaoxiao, Ye Chen gege surely didn't mean it; don't be angry like this. Think about how good Ye Chen gege has been to you, painstakingly curing your illness. Acting like this now, aren't you making him feel cold-hearted?"

After Zhang Hai finished speaking, Zhang Xiaoxiao's eyeballs rolled once in her eye sockets.

At that moment, Ji An's voice also sounded.

"Yes, Xiaoxiao, Ye Chen gege is so good; he surely didn't intentionally ignore you, don't take it to heart."

After hearing Zhang Hai and Ji An's words, Zhang Xiaoxiao felt a faint ache in her heart: "Am I being too immature? Have I made Ye Chen gege unhappy?"

Zhang Xiaoxiao's face showed a sad expression; "Yes, it's me, Xiaoxiao, being immature. I'll go get the peach blossom pastries I made for Ye Chen gege!" Zhang Xiaoxiao said, head down, talking to herself.

Afterward, she ran downstairs with a smiling face, while Ye Chen also concealed his aura at that moment; the running-downstairs Zhang Xiaoxiao did not notice Ye Chen's aura.

After Zhang Xiaoxiao went downstairs, Ye Chen picked up the lollipop in his hand, his expression at this moment very comical, "Just coaxed with a few words? Then what's the point of me specially buying a lollipop? Am I a sucker?"
