A moment later, Mo Ning came over to Ye Chen’s side and said, “The old man is in the southeast. He’s hiding in a cave and recuperating. His current combat strength is limited to the first level of the Supreme Emperor realm. He’ll need at least a hundred years to recover from such serious injuries!”
Hearing this, Ye Chen replied, “When Lingtian and Luo return, we’ll kill him together!”
Ye Chen was extremely domineering, and no longer took the old man seriously. He began to check on the injuries of the rogue cultivators and fed Zhou Yan two healing pills.
After Zhou Yan had finished regulating his breathing, he stood up and bowed to Ye Chen with cupped fists. “Thank you for saving my life twice, Senior Ye. Otherwise, I would have died. Such kindness can never be repaid in this lifetime, but I, Zhou Yan, am willing to follow Senior Ye for the rest of my life!”
“I, Tian Fang, thank you for saving me, Senior Ye. I’m willing to follow you!”
“I, Gu Tian, also thank Senior Ye for saving me. I’m willing to follow Senior!”
“I, Nan Gu, am also willing to follow Senior!”
“We are willing to follow Senior!”
…
As soon as Zhou Yan’s words came out, dozens of origin king realm rogue cultivator geniuses immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Ye Chen, expressing their willingness to follow him.
They were rogue cultivators who were looked down upon by the major sects and families. That was why they ended up being captured by the Huang Family geniuses and not a single family or sect came forth to save them.
Thus, Ye Shitian’s act of saving them had moved them.
“Aren’t you afraid of the Blood Spirit Clan?” Ye Chen asked calmly. His gaze swept across the rogue cultivators with a hint of amusement. “I’ve killed five of the six Blood Spirit Clan members. I’m about to go kill the remaining one. Aren’t you afraid of the Blood Spirit Clan’s revenge if you join me?”
A large number of the captured rogue cultivators immediately knelt down and pledged their loyalty to Ye Chen.
The cultivation levels of these rogue cultivators who were willing to pledge their loyalty were not weak, and they were generally at the saint king or origin king realms. Although there were no Daoyuan realm experts among them, as long as they were not pitted against the top geniuses of the major families and sects, they still had the power to crush others.
“If Senior Ye hadn’t killed the Blood Spirit Clan members, we would’ve been dead!”
“Moreover, the Huang family will definitely not let us off!”
“Instead of living an ignoble life running and hiding, it’s better to rely on Senior Ye and serve Senior Ye!”
Among them, Zhou Yan said, “We have been rogue cultivators since we were born. We were humiliated by others, and the major families and sects did not treat us as humans. However, Senior Ye saved our lives and killed the geniuses of the Huang family to avenge us!”
“So, we are willing to follow Mr. Ye to the ends of the world!”
“Even if the other experts of the Blood Spirit Clan come, we’re willing to fight against the heavens with Senior Ye!”
“We’re going to die no matter what, so we’d rather die standing than cower! The Huang family are scoundrels. We can’t wait to tear them apart and destroy them,” Tian Fang said.
Tian Fang, Gu Tian, Nan Gu, and the others bowed to Ye Chen and said, “Senior Ye, please accept us!”
Ye Chen nodded slightly. His gaze swept across everyone in front of him. “Since you’ve come to seek refuge, I’ll take you in!”
He watched as Ye Lingtian returned with the heads of the other Huang family geniuses. He said, “Lingtian, these people have submitted to me, so they’ll be under your command. We’ll rebuild the Dark Hall in the Kunlun Mountains. From now on, you’ll be in charge of training them. They’ll be used as soldiers or assassins!”
Bang!
Bang!
“Yes, Hall Master!” Ye Lingtian threw down the heads of three to four Huang Clan geniuses and cupped his fists.
He bowed and shouted, “I swear to serve the Hall Master!”
The rogue cultivators knelt down and echoed, “We swear to serve the Hall Master!”
…
The other rogue cultivators who had escaped gathered together and took out their belongings. They handed them to Zhou Yan and asked him to pass them to Ye Shitian to express their gratitude. They left separately. After all, everyone had different goals in coming here, so they scattered shortly after.
However, many years later, when they heard the news of Ye Shitian, they only felt endless regret for not having taken the decision the other had.
Of course, this was all in the future.
As for the female cultivators, they wiped their tears and went forward to kowtow. “We are willing to join the Dark Hall,” they said, “Senior Ye, please accept us!”
Ye Chen looked at them and thought, ‘I just killed people in passing after I came out of seclusion and somehow ended up taking in subordinates.’
‘Forget it, forget it. I’ll take them all. I’ll leave things to them in the future. Lingtian will manage them.’
“Ye Lingtian, take them in!”
“Make arrangements for them according to how we did things in Huaxia,” Ye Chen instructed. He then looked at Ye Luo, who had just returned, and asked, “Have the Huang family’s geniuses here been eliminated?”
“Mr. Ye, we’ve killed them all!” Ye Luo did not have the heads of those she killed. Instead, her pure face was stained with blood. She was like a pure flower that had been dyed in blood.
Ye Chen nodded. “Luo, Lingtian, bring the others to Han Yun!”
“Ji Siqing, you and I will go after the old man. We will meet up outside Han Yun’s residence!”
“Yes, Hall Master!”
“Yes, Mr. Ye!”
Ye Lingtian and Ye Luo led the rogue and female cultivators away and headed straight for Han Yun’s residence.
Ye Chen and Ji Siqing followed the scent of the blood essence tracked using Mo Ning’s secret technique as they chased after the sage-like old man.
…
At the same time, in a mysterious cave on a mountain.
Surrounded by traces of damaged blood essence, blood-colored spiritual light flickered continuously. An expert sat cross-legged on a stone platform. He put his hands together and took out a herb to refine and heal his injuries!
He was the sage-like old man.
After being severely injured by Xue Qiye, he had fled far away to recuperate.
Moments later, he had finished refining the 3,000-year-old spiritual herb. The medicinal effect was completely absorbed by him, but there was still a bloody hole in his chest. The blood had stopped flowing for the time being, but the injury was still difficult to recover from.
Puchi!
The sage-like old man spat out a mouthful of blood. His aura was weakening.
He held onto his broken sword, a pained expression on his face as he angrily shouted, “Damned little b*stard! Xue Qiye is actually standing behind him! I can’t do anything to him even if I return to the eighth level of the Supreme Emperor realm.”
“No, I must inform those lords and have them lead the army back to eradicate these Kunlun Mountain ants!”
