Chapter 998: An Acquaintance

“Men, bring those ants here!”
“Yes, Senior Brother Yang!”
A few disciples of the Qingzun Sect headed into the forest.
“Mr. Ye, what are these people trying to show us?” Ye Luo frowned and asked curiously.
“Let’s wait and see,” Ye Chen shook his head and said, “But I feel that it’s definitely not a good thing.”
After about three minutes, Ye Chen vaguely heard the sound of chains being dragged along the ground, and he soon saw what this was all about.
At the sight of this scene, the anger in Ye Chen’s heart erupted!
A dozen or so people were chained up, hands and feet bound. They were unable to walk, and could only crawl on the ground meekly.
These people had wounds of various sizes on their bodies, and their clothes were drenched in blood.
Furthermore, the disciples of the Qingzun Sect were stepping on them and kicking them as if they were no better than beasts!
Ye Chen knew very well that these people were also rogue cultivators.
While these itinerant cultivators could be considered geniuses in the Kunlun Mountains, they did not have the support of a powerful faction behind them and had thus fallen prey to these dirty b*stards.
It looked like a depiction of slavery from the past!
The appearance of these ‘slaves’ caused a commotion among the geniuses, and they burst into laughter and disdain. From their perspective, this was completely normal. After all, rogue cultivators were simply toys for them to play with.
A disciple of the Qingzun Sect stepped forward and smiled. “Senior Brother Yang, I’ve brought them here. These ants are useless anyway. When the time comes, they should be punished by Senior Han Yun together with Ye Shitian.”
Yang Ming looked down at the group of people and walked over. Then, he stepped on the foot of one of the rogue cultivators. When he exerted force, the sound of bones cracking could be heard.
“Ah! Sir, please let me go!”
However, Yang Ming remained unbothered. He enjoyed the pleasure of torturing people. His eyes fell on Ye Chen with interest. “Ye Shitian, this is what I wanted you to see. Now do you understand your status?”
“The only reason for the existence of rogue cultivators like yourself is to be trampled under our feet. Without power and background, you have no right to be arrogant!”
“Oh, right, I forgot that you have that mighty expert backing you. However, this is the Blood Spirit Secret Realm. Do you think that she can appear here to save you?”
Ye Chen’s body trembled and his body began to exude a bloody aura, as well as demonic energy. His eyes were bloodshot.
“Yang Ming, the purpose of the Blood Spirit Secret Realm is to fight against the Blood Spirit Clan together. Instead, you’ve chosen to treat your comrades like this.”
Yang Ming looked as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
“Comrades? These pieces of trash are qualified to be our comrades?”
Kacha!
Yang Ming exerted more force and crushed the foot of the rogue cultivator he was stepping on, causing the latter’s face to contort with pain.
After doing all of this, Yang Ming walked toward the next person.
He kicked the second cultivator in the chest. He thought that the cultivator would groan in pain or beg for mercy, but unexpectedly, not a sound was heard.
“Why didn’t you beg for mercy?”
Yang Ming was surprised. It seemed that he had stumbled upon a rather stalwart fellow.
The rogue cultivator in question slowly raised his head and glared at Yang Ming!
“Pah!”
He spat out a mouthful of saliva!
“Kill me if you dare. I, Zhou Yan, won’t make a sound even if I die!”
Ye Chen’s eyes widened when he heard the familiar voice and name.
Zhou Yan was a rogue cultivator who had entered the Blood Spirit Secret Realm with him. They had entered together, but were teleported to different places.
He had thought that he would only meet Zhou Yan again after he left the secret realm, but it seemed that the latter had been captured.
However, Zhou Yan was still unyielding despite his predicament.
“Zhou Yan?” Ye Chen asked softly.
When Zhou Yan heard this, he raised his head abruptly and saw Ye Chen. His eyes were filled with joy!
“Mr. Ye! Why are you here?”
However, soon, his joy disappeared as he remembered that Ye Shitian was also a rogue cultivator. Rogue cultivators who entered this place would either die or end up like him!
“Mr. Ye! Leave quickly! Hurry up!” Zhou Yan roared.
He knew that Ye Shitian was strong, but there were so many powerful experts here. No matter how strong he was, he would not be able to take them all on!
When Yang Ming heard the conversation between the two, he was interested.
“Interesting. You actually know each other. It seems that birds of a feather really do flock together. Trash knows trash, after all.”
After that, Yang Ming stepped on Zhou Yan’s back.
Zhou Yan’s face was pale. A powerful force slammed into his body and he instantly spat out a mouthful of blood.
He was extremely weak.
Even so, Zhou Yan gritted his teeth and did not beg for mercy.
“Yang Ming, kill me if you have the ability. If you don’t kill me, I will one day become strong enough to kill you and then destroy the Qingzun Sect!”
Zhou Yan gritted his teeth.
Yang Ming and the disciples behind him heard these words and smiled.
“You really think too highly of yourself, but you are going to die soon.”
Moments later, Yang Ming unsheathed his sword, and there was a burst of bloody light as he stabbed it toward Zhou Yan!
“It should be an honor for you to die by my sword.”
Just as the sword was about to pierce Zhou Yan’s body, Ye Chen moved.
