Chapter 248 - 248: Submission
Chen Qingcang?
Who was Chen Qingcang?
Beiye was stunned.
He knew the top 100 experts of Huaxia’s grandmaster rankings like the back of his hand. From this old man’s aura, he was definitely one of their top experts.
However, the name did not match anyone he knew!
More importantly, was there such a terrifying existence in Huaxia? His gut feeling told him that this old man’s strength eclipsed even the top 10 experts of the grandmaster rankings!
Endless fear and dread filled his heart.
Who was this person and why was he so powerful?
Was he doomed?
Chen Qingcang ignored Beiye. In his eyes, everyone was an ant, with the exception of one person…
It was the injured young man!
He looked at Ye Chen and waved his arm. A stream of true qi surged into Ye Chen’s body. The warm current flowed through the injured part of Ye Chen’s body, and his condition immediately improved.
“Get up.”
Chen Qingcang moved his fingers and his true qi lifted Ye Chen off his feet.
“Thank you, Senior!”
Chen Qingcang nodded.
“It is my duty to help you.”
“How should we deal with this ant then?”
Chen Qingcang’s eyes shot toward Beiye, who immediately felt that his life was in extreme danger.
He no longer hesitated.
Plop!
He knelt down.
“Sir, please spare my life. Please spare my life!”
He had not cultivated to this level only to die and lose everything!
At that moment, Ye Chen fell into a state of deep thought. Killing Beiye would indeed vent his anger. However, keeping him alive meant that he would have a unity realm expert to do his bidding, one who was probably as strong as an expert within the top 30 of Huaxia’s grandmaster rankings.
However, the latter being a unity realm expert also presented a different problem. Since Beiye was stronger than he was, he could not use his blood essence to control Beiye.
As if sensing Ye Chen’s hesitation, Beiye quickly said, “Sir, there’s something else you should know. I have Huaxia’s blood running through my veins. My father was from Huaxia, while my mother was from the Pearl Nation…” “Please spare my life! I’m willing to be your servant!”
Chen Qingcang glanced at Ye Chen and seemed to sense the hesitation in Ye Chen’s heart. He asked, “Did this ant kill your loved ones?”
Ye Chen shook his head.
“In that case, you can use him,” Chen Qingcang said, “He is stronger than you are, so it’s more beneficial for you to keep him alive than to kill him.”
Beiye nodded repeatedly when he heard Chen Qingcang’s words. He said to Ye Chen, “Sir, 1 will do whatever you want me to do. I am even willing to deal with the leaders of the Pearl Nation!”
Ye Chen was Beiye’s only chance of survival!
Chen Qingcang continued, “The human heart is untrustworthy. Are you willing to offer your blood essence?”
Beiye was stunned, and his face turned pale. Once he offered his blood essence, he would be completely controlled, and there would be no chance to break free in the future.
However, he had no other choice.
Therefore, without further ado, Beiye slapped his palm on his chest, and a drop of black blood essence shot out and floated in the air.
Chen Qingcang nodded and looked at Ye Chen.
“Because of the difference in your cultivation levels, you can’t inject your blood essence into him to control him. However, you can control his blood essence, which is basically the same thing. I’m going to transmit a technique into your sea of consciousness now for you to study and comprehend.”
Seconds later, Chen Qingcang tapped Ye Chen’s forehead with a finger, and insights regarding a technique to control blood essence filled his mind.
After Ye Chen studied it for some time, he quickly formed a seal with his fingers and a rune landed on the black blood essence. When the rune disappeared, Ye Chen sensed its presence in his sea of consciousness.
When he mentally squeezed it, Beiye spat out a mouthful of blood!
“Master, please show mercy!”
Beiye looked at Ye Chen in shock.
Ye Chen nodded and released his hold on it, after which Beiye heaved a sigh of relief.
“Thank you for sparing my life, Master. From now on, 1 will be your most faithful servant!”
At this moment, Chen Qingcang looked at Beiye and asked, “Is there a secret room here? 1 need to talk to this kid about something.”
“Yes there is, Sir.”
Beiye quickly stood up and bowed, before leading them toward a wall. He then turned a certain ceramic antique on a nearby shelf, and the wall suddenly opened, revealing a secret chamber.
“Sir, this place is where I train and hide my treasures. Inside…”
Before he could finish, Chen Qingcang and Ye Chen walked in.
Chen Qingcang waved his hand and the door closed, leaving Beiye outside, somewhat stunned.
The secret door was controlled by a mechanism and was guarded by a powerful seal. However, in front of the old man, it was no better than a decoration.
He did not think too much about it and walked toward the hall outside. The sirens were already blaring, so he needed to handle the situation.
Beiye sighed.
“I should have heeded his warning. Now, not only has the Martial Emperor Society been destroyed, but 1 have also lost my freedom.”
However, he could only blame himself for this outcome. Still, it was better than death.
Inside the secret chamber, Chen Qingcang placed his hands behind his back and looked at Ye Chen with interest.
“You’re weak. Even weaker than I imagined.”
Ye Chen was stunned. He knew that Chen Qingcang was very strong. However, these words were too contemptuous.
“Senior, what is your cultivation level?”
“It’s better for you not to know.” Chen Qingcang shook his head. “It will affect
your Dao heart..”
