Chapter 2761: Do not be greedy

Regarding the poison in Yun Ruge's body and the formation within her Niwan Palace, Ye Chen did not have any good solutions for the time being.

This also made Ye Chen realize that there was still a massive gap between himself and Wu Feiyan.

This time, when Count Changsheng blew himself up, although he had luckily escaped disaster thanks to the ring Lin Wan'er had given him, if Wu Feiyan really sent three experts who were about to open their Niwan Palaces to Jin Ling, he feared he would have no chance of survival at all. Even if he had Lin Wan'er's ring, what of it? By then, he would only end up harming Lin Wan'er along with himself.

As for Wu Feiyan, she had already opened her Niwan Palace over a hundred years ago, and her current cultivation was unfathomable—at least a hundred, if not two or three hundred years ahead of his own. Therefore, if Wu Feiyan were to come in person, he feared he would have even less chance of survival.

Thinking of this, Ye Chen could not help but feel fortunate. If he hadn't accidentally saved the distressed Old Mrs. Jiang and her son back in Mexico, how would he have had the opportunity to obtain the portrait of Ancestor Meng?

If he didn't have this portrait of Ancestor Meng in his hands, wanting to perform this "Empty Fort Strategy" would naturally be a pipe dream. In that case, he would have been completely powerless to stop the three great elders from coming to Jin Ling.

Ye Chen could not help but secretly swear in his heart that if he could bluff Wu Feiyan this time, he must properly thank Old Mrs. Jiang for this opportunity she had brought him. If Old Mrs. Jiang had any needs in the future, he would give her another Rejuvenating Pill as a token of gratitude.

After making up his mind, Ye Chen looked at Yun Ruge and said somewhat apologetically, "I'm sorry, Miss Yun. Although I can heal your injuries and slowly restore your cultivation, I really have no way to break the poison in your body or the formation in your Niwan Palace for the time being. However, you don't need to worry too much; I will definitely try my best to think of a way."

Yun Ruge knew that Ye Chen was comforting her, but she was not disappointed in her heart. After all, her first thought after the explosion had been to stay far away from the Lord and live out the rest of her days. Now that her body had recovered significantly and Ye Chen had promised to help her slowly restore her cultivation, this was already far beyond her expectations. How could she dare to covet the removal of the poison and the formation?

Therefore, she said to Ye Chen with great gratitude, "Mr. Ye, there is no need for you to apologize to me. I am already deeply grateful that you can help me heal my injuries. As for the poison and the formation, I dare not even hope for it myself. I am already very satisfied to be able to live out the remaining two years well!"

Ye Chen looked at her and said very seriously, "If it really comes to it, I have another method after two years. Although it might not break the formation in your body, I have at least an eighty percent certainty of being able to clear the poison from your system."

Upon hearing this, a flash of excitement instantly crossed Yun Ruge's eyes.

At this moment, Ye Chen changed the subject and said very solemnly, "However, Miss Yun, although this method has an eighty percent success rate, it could also bring you immense pain. If it fails, this pain would be an unprovoked disaster. I wonder if you are willing to take the risk?"

Yun Ruge said with great excitement, "Mr. Ye, let alone an eighty percent chance, even if there were only a one percent chance, I would be willing to try, even if it meant crossing a mountain of blades or a sea of fire!"

Ye Chen nodded and said earnestly, "I might as well tell you this method. I have a type of medicinal pill called the Reshaping Pill. As long as a person's brain has not died, even if the body has turned into mush, the Reshaping Pill can help reshape a complete body. I just examined the toxins in your body, Miss Yun; they are basically all in your meridians, dantian, and internal organs. When the time comes, I can excise all the poisoned areas and then place the Reshaping Pill in your mouth, letting it help your body reshape. Once the reshaping is complete, I believe these toxins should cease to exist!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Ruge asked in both shock and joy, "Mr. Ye, do you truly possess such a divine medicine?!"

Ye Chen said indifferently, "The reason I can stand here and talk to you unscathed is because I took a Reshaping Pill."

Yun Ruge widened her eyes, unable to hold back her tears of excitement. She fell to her knees with a thud and said respectfully, "Mr. Ye! If you are willing to use this divine medicine to help me, I swear that for the rest of my life, I will follow your lead! Even if you were to order me to die, I would have no complaints!"

Ye Chen reached out to help her up, his expression solemn as he said in a clear voice, "My goal is to kill Wu Feiyan with my own hands and avenge my parents. If you are willing to follow me, you must become an enemy of Wu Feiyan. Can you do that?"

Yun Ruge gritted her teeth and said, "Mr. Ye, rest assured. Wu Feiyan is sinister and ruthless. Not only has she used toxins to control me for decades, but she even turned me into a human bomb. I have an irreconcilable hatred for her as well!"

Ye Chen nodded slightly and said, "Good! If I can help you clear the poison from your body in two years, then if I am fortunate enough to open my Niwan Palace in the future, I will definitely do my utmost to help you remove the formation within your Niwan Palace. After Wu Feiyan dies, you will be completely free. No matter where you go, I, Ye Chen, will never interfere. This is the promise I give you today!"

Yun Ruge cupped her hands and said gratefully, "Thank you, Mr. Ye, for your righteousness!"

At this time, the sky outside had already brightened.

Ye Chen said to Yun Ruge, "Miss Yun, later I will have someone take you to the Champs-Élysées Hot Spring at the foot of the mountain and have them arrange a room there for you to stay temporarily. There is still a highly powerful formation in your body, so I need you to be prepared to evacuate at any time. If my Empty Fort Strategy fails and the three great elders still come to Jin Ling, I will have someone send you to a safe, uninhabited place to avoid the possibility that those three great elders might have a way to detonate your formation."

Yun Ruge nodded and said respectfully, "I will follow all of Mr. Ye's arrangements!"

Lin Wan'er, who was to the side, thought for a moment and said, "Young Master, I feel that you should find a way to monitor all civilian aircraft taking off from Argentina and heading to China, including passenger planes and cargo planes. Argentina is extremely far from China, and there are currently no direct flights between the two countries. If any flight applies for a route to Jin Ling, focus on monitoring that flight's route map and track its movements in real-time. Once you have finished performing your Empty Fort Strategy, if there is still a plane coming from Argentina heading straight for Jin Ling, then you must be very careful! If, after you have performed your Empty Fort Strategy, a certain plane that was originally supposed to come to China suddenly turns back, then that plane might be the one the three great elders are on."

Ye Chen nodded in agreement and said, "Monitoring aircraft is indeed a good idea. That was the very method I used to lock onto one of their shipping companies, which is how I met Miss Lin in Northern Europe."

Lin Wan'er smiled slightly and said, "I guessed that you must have used this method. Only this method can grasp the movements of the Cavalry Guards and the Dead Soldiers."

At this moment, Yun Ruge suddenly spoke up, "Young Master, if we can lock onto the plane the three great elders are on, wouldn't it be easy to kill all three of them by finding a way to shoot the plane down?!"

Ye Chen and Lin Wan'er spoke almost simultaneously, "Absolutely not!"

After Ye Chen finished speaking, seeing that Lin Wan'er's reaction was the same as his own, he asked her, "Miss Lin, what is your view?"

Lin Wan'er said earnestly, "Under any circumstances, shooting down a civilian passenger plane is a terrorist act. It is absolutely unacceptable and would be met with contempt and condemnation from the entire world. Young Master, you must act with a clear conscience; this kind of thing must never be done."

Ye Chen also agreed, saying, "A man has things he does and things he does not do. This kind of thing is absolutely not within my scope of consideration."

Yun Ruge was instantly filled with shame and hurriedly said, "I am sorry, Mr. Ye, Miss Lin. I was being too presumptuous... I just thought that if the three great elders were all on one plane, shooting it down might be the best way to kill all three of them, but I didn't think... this approach is indeed very inappropriate... I ask for Mr. Ye and Miss Lin's forgiveness..."

Ye Chen nodded and said, "Today's goal is only to scare Wu Feiyan and force her to retreat. Do not be greedy. As long as this goal is successfully achieved, Wu Feiyan will definitely not dare to act recklessly in Jin Ling for a long time to come. This will buy us more time to endure humiliation and improve our strength. Perhaps by the time she sees through this Empty Fort Strategy and sends the three great elders again, we will already have the strength to keep all three of them in Jin Ling forever!" ===== CHAPTER 2762 =====
