Chapter 692: Chapter 0692: Has it always been in your hands?
Before Pei Renxi could reach He Sichan, Ye Xunhuan’s figure flashed abruptly in front of He Sichan like a massive mountain, blocking Pei Renxi’s path.
Upon witnessing this sudden scene, Pei Renxi’s pupils abruptly constricted.
He hadn’t seen how Ye Xunhuan appeared in front of He Sichan. Without giving Pei Renxi any chance to react, Ye Xunhuan’s right hand leisurely stretched out, reaching for Pei Renxi’s neck.
Watching Ye Xunhuan’s slow-motion strike, Pei Renxi felt an immense pressure that made his breathing instantly become difficult.
He wanted to dodge, but a delusion irresistibly arose within him that no matter how he dodged, he could not escape and would be caught by Ye Xunhuan!
"Snap!"
The next moment, Ye Xunhuan’s right hand directly clutched Pei Renxi’s neck, and without giving Pei Renxi any chance to respond, he abruptly lifted Pei Renxi from the ground.
Lifting him as if he were a small chicken, Pei Renxi had no chance to struggle.
Being lifted off the ground by Ye Xunhuan, Pei Renxi felt his breathing became instantly difficult; his face turned deep red, his eyes bulged, and his lips began to turn purple. His legs kicked wildly while his hands started beating at Ye Xunhuan’s arms.
At this moment, Pei Renxi resembled a drowning person.
"I really dislike people who threaten me, ignore me, and especially those who want to kill me. Since you’ve done all three, your only option is death!" Ye Xunhuan said indifferently.
As his voice fell, Ye Xunhuan’s right hand forcefully tightened, directly crushing Pei Renxi’s throat, ending his life!
After breaking Pei Renxi’s neck, Ye Xunhuan threw Pei Renxi to the ground, his face completely calm.
As if for him, killing someone was merely routine work.
After killing Pei Renxi, Ye Xunhuan turned his gaze to the half-dead He Duoze, "I assume you have a way to clean this up, right?"
He Duoze, somewhat frightened, nodded at Ye Xunhuan.
The shock Ye Xunhuan gave him was too great; he had lived a long life, encountered various people, and dealt with all sorts of individuals, but he had never met someone as terrifying as Ye Xunhuan.
Or rather, Ye Xunhuan could no longer be considered human; he was a murderous devil, a Grim Reaper!
Ye Xunhuan nodded in satisfaction, "I was never here tonight. You understand what I mean, right?"
"Understood!"
"Good, I’m leaving."
With that, Ye Xunhuan glanced at the still shaken He Sichan and said indifferently, "Don’t hate your dad; it’s not that he wanted someone to harm you, but he knew if he spoke out, your fate would be even worse!"
"You both are not safe here, leave Jiangzhong City!"
As his voice fell, Ye Xunhuan was about to turn and leave.
He Sichan watched Ye Xunhuan with a dazed and somewhat wooden expression. Although she was now out of danger, the previous scenes had left an indelible impression on her heart.
If not for the Grim Reaper-like man who had appeared, her fate would have been predictable.
Just as Ye Xunhuan was about to leave, He Sichan immediately snapped back to her senses and hurriedly called out, "Ye Xunhuan..."
Upon hearing He Sichan call his name, Ye Xunhuan slowly turned around and looked towards He Sichan. "What is it?" he asked.
"Thank you!" she exclaimed.
Ye Xunhuan smiled, said nothing, and prepared to leave again.
"Mr. Ye, wait a moment!" He Duoze suddenly spoke up, hurriedly stopping Ye Xunhuan.
"What else is there?" Ye Xunhuan asked softly, looking at He Duoze.
"Can you... can you take my daughter with you?" He Duoze asked with a pleading look on his face.
Ye Xunhuan was taken aback and then quickly understood what He Duoze meant. "Do you want me to help protect her?"
"Mr. Ye, I know this is presumptuous, but I will offer you enough reward. I will give you He Luo..."
"I don’t care about that thing!" Ye Xunhuan spoke indifferently. "It’s just trouble. You know very well that, whoever holds it, if it’s exposed, it will eventually become a huge problem. I don’t like trouble!"
"Yes, I admit, I am interested in your daughter, but when interest is weighed against trouble, I tend to back off!" Ye Xunhuan said softly. "Besides, I am married, as you know!"
"Mr. Ye, I know this puts you in a difficult position, but if you don’t help Si Chan, Si Chan will truly die. I’m old, it doesn’t matter for me, but she is still young. She’s my only daughter; please, save her..."
"Do you trust me that much?" Ye Xunhuan curiously asked He Duoze. "Aren’t you afraid that I am playing a long game, just waiting for you to offer He Luo to me?"
"I am afraid!" He Duoze did not dare to hide the truth from Ye Xunhuan and spoke frankly. "But I have no choice; I must take a gamble!"
"And I trust my judgment. If I am wrong, then it’s just my daughter’s bad fortune!"
This time, Ye Xunhuan had to seriously consider He Duoze. The fellow was smart!
"Mr. Ye, you definitely possess the Innate Realm of a Martial Artist. You must know of He Luo and what it represents!" He Duoze said emphatically. "As long as He Luo is in your hands, you are very likely to break through that legendary realm and become the first one!"
"It seems you know quite a lot!" Ye Xunhuan said softly. "Then you surely must know about the Taiji Seal, right?"
Startled upon hearing the three words ’Taiji Seal’, He Duoze’s face drastically changed, and his voice trembled at that moment. "You... you..." 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓅𝓊𝓫.𝒸ℴ𝓶
"That’s right, I am that person, and the Taiji Seal is in my hands. Do you think I would still care about He Luo?" Ye Xunhuan said in a neutral tone. "For others, He Luo indeed holds immense allure, irresistibly so, given that everyone wants to enter that realm. Yet, no one has ever crossed it to my knowledge, and I’ve never heard of anyone doing so!"
"I even doubt whether that realm really exists!" Ye Xunhuan’s face slowly revealed a look of perplexity.
Beside him, He Sichan, utterly confused, watched He Duoze and Ye Xunhuan, completely unable to understand what they were discussing.
What exactly was that realm they spoke of?
For a moment, He Sichan felt as if she was hearing something utterly incomprehensible!
"Mr. Ye, that realm exists, it truly exists!" He Duoze said emphatically. "An ancestor of my He family once entered that realm, and it was all thanks to He Luo!"
Upon hearing He Duoze’s words, the expression on Ye Xunhuan’s face slightly changed. "Could it be that He Luo has always been in your possession?"
