Chapter 707: Chapter 0707: Poke a Hole in the Sky
By Qiu Ruoxi’s side, her heart filled with confusion and incomprehension upon seeing Ye Xunhuan’s demeanor.
Who had called him, and why had his expression suddenly turned so ugly?
The next moment, under Qiu Ruoxi’s gaze, Ye Xunhuan glanced at her, "I’m taking a call!"
Having said that, Ye Xunhuan stood up and walked to a secluded spot nearby.
Once he connected the call, Ye Xunhuan immediately lowered his voice and said, "What the hell are you calling me for?"
Ye Xunhuan’s tone was filled with uncontrollable anger.
"I know you don’t want to talk to me," the caller said reluctantly. "Last time, it was already hard for you to even chat with me for a few moments..."
"You know that, yet you still freakin’ call me!"
"Actually, I thought you wouldn’t pick up, but to my relief, you did answer the call!" said the caller with relief.
"That’s because I know, even if I don’t answer, you would keep calling, you would blow up my phone..."
"You know me well..."
Ye Xunhuan fell silent for a moment then said again, "Talk then, what do you really want from me?"
"I have something to tell you!"
"Speak!"
"The person you injured today in Jiangzhong City Prison, his name is Lin Zhetian, he is the most outstanding third generation of the Lin family, and the man in the robe is Lin Zhenbei, who is a monstrous member of the Lin family!" the caller explained straightforwardly. "Also, both of them are from Shu Mountain!"
Shu Mountain!
Upon hearing this, Ye Xunhuan furrowed his brow even tighter.
He knew about Shu Mountain; it was essentially a super martial arts sect within Huaxia, of profound heritage and filled with numerous experts, on whole another level, just like Kunlun!
He had never expected that someone from the Lin family could be a disciple of Shu Mountain.
"What are you implying by telling me this?"
"You haven’t done anything terrible to Lin Zhetian, have you?"
"Sorry, I hit him with a powerful stream of Inner Strength, imbued with the devastating force of the Bai Shou Tai Xuan Jing," said Ye Xunhuan.
"What?"
The person on the other side of the call seemed to explode with frustration and immediately let out a low roar.
"Is there a problem?"
"Big trouble!" the caller said gravely and with clear anxiety. "Lin Zhetian is not only the most outstanding of the Lin family’s third generation but also Shu Mountain’s finest disciple!"
"He stepped into Innate in his twenties, completely regarded as the pride of Shu Mountain, but now you’ve struck him with Inner Strength from the Bai Shou Tai Xuan Jing. You’re going to kill him!" the caller said agitatedly. "If he dies, Shu Mountain will definitely consider you their top enemy!"
"I don’t kill him, he tries to kill me, my principle has always been, whoever tries to kill me should be prepared to die first!"
"Do you realize, you’ve just blown a hole through the sky? That thing with Shan Yujing, I exerted a huge effort to suppress it for you, and now you’re trying to kill Lin Zhetian, you..."
"I didn’t ask for your help!" Ye Xunhuan snorted coldly, "Don’t place yourself so high above, acting like such a saint. I know exactly who you are!"
"Ye Xunhuan, I know you resent me, but let me tell you, your master’s death had nothing to do with me!"
"Then tell me, who betrayed us?" Ye Xunhuan’s voice suddenly turned cold. "Speak!"
The caller fell silent!
"Not sure how to start, huh?" Ye Xunhuan said icily. "Then let me tell you, when Master and I joined forces, none of you could rival us. You all knew that once I grew strong, none of you could touch me and also knew my master had long freaking stopped wanting to work for you all, only wishing to live out his days peacefully. But unfortunately, my master knew too much. You wanted him dead!"
"It’s not like that..."
"Then how is it?"
The other party fell silent again!
"Alright, I’m busy, hanging up. Don’t contact me again. If you dare contact me again, next time I’ll chop off the paws you use to dial!"
"Wait a minute!" the other party hurriedly said.
"What else is there!"
"Can’t you just let Lin Zhetian go, reach out to save him, and put an end to this grudge? I’ll go out of my way to mediate for you..."
"Ye Xunhuan has never heard of reconciliation!" Ye Xunhuan said emphatically, "In my dictionary, if you don’t submit, you die!"
"Lin Zhetian is the one I have chosen, meant to join the Hidden Dragon!"
"What does that have to do with me?"
"You..." n𝚘𝚟pub.𝚌o𝚖
"Stop whining to me here. If you have the ability, go save him yourself. You’re more than capable, just depends if you’re willing to expend the energy!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Xunhuan didn’t give the other person a chance to speak and hung up the phone directly.
After hanging up, Ye Xunhuan let out a heavy sigh and swiftly adjusted his mood before walking back into the restaurant.
Qiu Ruoxi hadn’t left. When she saw Ye Xunhuan return, she didn’t say much and started to prepare to leave.
Seeing this, Ye Xunhuan hastily called out to Qiu Ruoxi.
"What’s the matter?" Qiu Ruoxi asked, looking at Ye Xunhuan.
"About me going out tonight, it wasn’t to..."
"This is the company; I don’t want to discuss personal matters!" Qiu Ruoxi said coldly, "If you want to talk about personal matters, let’s discuss it back home!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Qiu Ruoxi left the restaurant.
At this, Ye Xunhuan gave a wry smile. How many more days was this woman going to give him the cold shoulder?
In the depths of summer, night falls late. Even though it was already seven o’clock, the entire land was brightly lit. The evening glow reddened half the sky, resembling burning clouds, and appeared exceptionally beautiful.
At seven-forty, Lin Zhenbei arrived at Jiangzhong City’s airport. It was not long before he saw an old man in a gray robe slowly walking out of the airport. The old man’s hair was mostly black with a few graying strands, but his complexion was rosy and his skin radiant, making his exact age indiscernible.
Upon seeing the old man, Lin Zhenbei immediately hurried over to him.
"Master..."
"What’s Lin Zhetian’s condition now?" the old man asked with a grave expression.
"The situation is quite pessimistic. He is still in a coma, and his vitality is growing weaker. If this continues, I worry for Lin Zhetian’s life!"
Hatred and darkness filled Lin Zhenbei’s face as he spoke of Lin Zhetian.
It was hatred towards Ye Xunhuan!
If it weren’t for Ye Xunhuan, how could Lin Zhetian have ended up like this?
After hearing Lin Zhenbei’s words, the old man’s already somber expression grew even gloomier, "Can’t you remove the Inner Strength from Lin Zhetian’s body?"
Lin Zhenbei gave a bitter smile and said, "Master, that guy is most likely at the Great Perfection of Innate, maybe even the Extreme Heaven realm. I have absolutely no means..."
Upon hearing the term ’Extreme Heaven’, the old man’s body uncontrollably shivered, and his eyes also revealed a deep battle intent!
