858: Chapter 858 Do you have evidence? Did you see me kill them?

Bai Canghe's face turned livid.

However… he had guessed it, but they had no evidence.

However, before he could speak, the elders behind him were already furious and began cursing loudly.

"Ye Chen! It must have been Ye Chen! Who else but that lunatic would do something like this?"

"That's right! It must be that little beast! He actually dared to kill people and steal their tokens! He is simply lawless!"

"The Bai Family will never share the same sky with him!"

Hearing this, Patriarch Xuanyuan Hai in the distance was displeased.

"What nonsense are you spouting?"

"Do you have evidence to prove that brother did it?"

Upon hearing this, the elders' expressions grew even uglier.

Dammit!

Who didn't know that among the contestants, besides Ye Chen, only the people from Guixu were capable of taking out those two elders?

But Guixu wouldn't have made a move, so it could only be Ye Chen.

But guessing was just guessing.

Before having actual evidence, tearing off the mask with Patriarch Xuanyuan Hai was not a rational thing to do.

For a moment, they couldn't help but look at Bai Canghe.

But Bai Canghe's face was as gloomy as water at this moment.

What's the point of looking at him?

He also guessed it was Ye Chen, but there was no evidence!

On the landing pad, subsequent helicopters were still landing.

But soon, the Hehuan Sect erupted in chaos.

Because… the body of Great Elder Momoda was carried back by two disciples.

Not only was he dead, but he was also reduced to pieces.

Only his head was relatively intact, which was a gruesome sight.

But this wasn't the end.

The Qianji Sect! The Tianyi Sect! The Qingmu Sect!

The casualty lists of several major sects and families were successively passed to their respective seats, each more shocking than the last.

Those elders initially cursed angrily, wondering which god-forsaken bastard had done this.

But as the number of casualties grew, the curses gradually turned into silence.

In the end, only dead silence remained around the main venue, and everyone realized one thing… In the second round, the elites sent by the One Clan, Three Sects, Five Gates had almost been completely slaughtered.

They all guessed who the murderer was, but they still had no evidence.

As a result, they felt like a mute eating coptis—unable to voice their bitterness.

As one piece of bad news after another arrived, Bai Canghe's face turned black to the extreme.

He glanced at the elders behind him and said coldly, "That Ye Chen hasn't returned yet. When he lands, we will join forces to take him down and force him to admit it…"

Before he could finish, a lazy voice came from a helicopter that had just landed.

"Head of the Bai Family."

"Your complexion doesn't look too good. Did you miss me too much, so you didn't sleep well last night?"

Everyone turned their heads in unison.

They saw Ye Chen jumping down from the helicopter with an innocent smile on his face.

On his shoulder lay a ball of white fur, which was yawning, revealing a row of baby teeth that hadn't fully grown yet.

A penguin followed at his feet, like a loyal Bodyguard.

The whole crowd: "???"

Countless question marks exploded over everyone's heads, and everyone was stunned.

"Wait… what is that thing? Is that white lump on Ye Chen's shoulder… a bear?"

"Why the hell does that bear look like a polar bear cub?"

"Wait… this is Antarctica! You're telling me where a polar bear would come from in Antarctica???"

"And that penguin at his feet! Isn't that just a common Adélie penguin from Antarctica? What is he doing bringing a penguin back? Is he opening a zoo?"

The crowd completely exploded.

No one cared how many tokens Ye Chen had actually obtained; everyone's attention was firmly captured by that bear and that penguin.

Yan Qingwu squeezed out of the crowd, walked up quickly, and looked shocked.

"Where did you swindle that penguin and polar bear from?"

"And…"

"I won't even mention the penguin, but are there polar bears in Antarctica?"

Ye Chen grinned: "I picked them up on the side of the road."

Yan Qingwu: "???"

Huh?

You can just pick up a polar bear on the side of the road?

Is this reasonable???

Ye Chen continued.

"The little bear is called… I haven't had time to name it yet, and the penguin is called Prince."

"From now on, they are members of the Ancient Tomb Sect."

"Huh? A penguin named Prince?"

Yan Qingwu was even more confused.

Ye Chen said helplessly: "It said so itself."

Yan Qingwu felt that Ye Chen was playing with her, but she couldn't find any evidence.

Instead, Ye Chen provided evidence…

They saw the penguin suddenly stand up straight, bend over towards her, and bow seriously.

Then, it quacked a few times.

It looked just like a little gentleman in a tuxedo.

Yan Qingwu: "???"

No… is this little penguin this spiritual?

Seeing her shock, Ye Chen took the initiative to explain: "It's introducing itself. It said its name is Prince, and please take care of it in the future."

Yan Qingwu was completely confused.

"A penguin that names itself Prince and can bow to introduce itself?"

"And you're telling me you picked it up on the side of the road?"

Ye Chen shrugged: "I really picked it up on the side of the road. It insisted on following me and even knelt down to beg me to take it with me. What could I do? I'm just soft-hearted!"

Yan Qingwu felt her worldview collapsing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Ye Chen ignored her dazed state and instead patted the little bear's head, asking her earnestly: "What do you think it should be named?"

Yan Qingwu was stunned for a moment, and the first name that popped into her head was: "...Little White?"

Ye Chen's eyes lit up, and he turned to look at the little bear on his shoulder.

"Did you hear that? From now on, you are called Little White!"

The little bear whimpered twice, wagging its tail like a windmill, looking quite satisfied.

Yan Qingwu: "…"

Ye Chen was abnormal.

The two pets by his side were also abnormal…

Before Yan Qingwu could digest everything, a furious roar suddenly came.

"Ye Chen!!!"

Bai Canghe stood up from the Bai Family's seats, his eyes almost spitting fire: "I ask you, did you kill Elder Hong Yuan and Elder Hong Lie???"

The other families heard this and looked over one after another.

There was murderous intent in their eyes.

Ye Chen ignored the gazes of the whole crowd and instead asked with a grin: "Do you have evidence? Did you see me kill them?"

Bai Canghe's face was livid.

"Besides you, who else has such ability?"

Ye Chen grinned: "There is."

He pointed at Mo Yuan, who had just walked off the helicopter.

"Isn't that the Holy Son of Guixu?"

The whole crowd turned their heads in unison.

Mo Yuan had just jumped off the helicopter and hadn't even stood steady when he was suddenly locked onto by dozens of gazes.

He was completely dumbfounded.

"???"

"When did this Holy Son kill anyone?"

Mo Yuan immediately bristled, glaring at Ye Chen with a livid face: "Ye Chen, stop spitting blood and framing people here!"

Ye Chen shrugged, looking innocent: "If you didn't, why are you in such a rush?"

"You!!!"

Mo Yuan was so angry that smoke was coming out of his seven orifices.

Bai Canghe snorted coldly: "Ye Chen, don't change the subject!"

"Even if the Holy Son of Guixu has that strength, he has no grudge against the Bai Family, so why would he kill the elders of my Bai Family?"

"On the contrary, you…"

Ye Chen interrupted him: "I don't have a grudge against him either."

"You!!!"

Bai Canghe was choked, his chest tightening: "You first make it clear, did you kill Elder Hong Yuan or not!"

"Head of the Bai Family."

Ye Chen sighed: "You are so old, why don't you understand one principle?"

"What principle?"

Bai Canghe gritted his teeth.

"Everything must be based on evidence."

Ye Chen said word by word: "If you produce evidence, then it's me. If you can't produce evidence, then it's not me. Such a simple principle, do I need to emphasize it to you again?"

Bai Canghe was furious: "You… you are sophistry!"

Ye Chen spread his hands: "This is called being reasonable, okay!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Canghe's fists hardened.

He wanted to flare up, but realized he really couldn't produce any evidence.

There was no surveillance on the ice sheet, nor were there any eyewitnesses.

Everyone who entered the second round was responsible for their own life and death.

Ye Chen killed people, but as long as he refused to admit it to the death, the Bai Family had no way to move against him openly.

Moreover… even if Ye Chen really killed someone, what could they do?

Go back on their word?

But Patriarch Xuanyuan Hai was still sitting there drinking tea!

If the Xuanyuan Family wasn't standing behind Ye Chen, Bai Canghe wouldn't need evidence at all and would dare to make a move on the spot.

But the connection with Patriarch Xuanyuan Hai was right there, making Bai Canghe hesitate for fear of damaging the valuable objects nearby.

Seeing that he wasn't speaking anymore, Ye Chen smiled and patted Little White's head: "Little White, spit out the tokens."

Little White obeyed, opened its mouth, took a sharp breath, and then spat them out.

"Clatter!"

A large pile of tokens poured out of Little White's mouth like a waterfall, clattering into a small mountain on the snow.

As this scene appeared, the whole crowd was silent for a few seconds.

The next second, the entire scene erupted into chaos.

"Holy crap! That little bear can actually store things???"

"No way… this is a spatial spirit beast!"

"How could he possibly capture a spatial spirit beast!"

Everyone couldn't hold back anymore!

Everyone's faces were full of disbelief!

Because that pile of tokens had at least one or two hundred pieces!
