62: Mr. Zhang is really a sensible person.

Ye Chen felt pain and instantly woke up. Looking at the strange surroundings, his eyes were filled with confusion.

Suddenly, Ye Chen felt a pair of malicious eyes staring at him from behind, sending a chill down his spine.

Turning his head, his heart was instantly shocked.

The Su Wan before him was precisely the Su Family Elder who had personally issued a kill order against Ye Chen. Even if the other party turned to ash, Ye Chen would recognize him.

However, Ye Chen dared not show the slightest hint of anger. He was well aware of his current predicament.

When under someone else's roof, one must bow one's head.

"Ye Family brat, hand over the Lord of Destruction!"

Su Wan's tiger-like eyes narrowed slightly. Holding his head high with an arrogant posture, he spoke threateningly.

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen felt greatly annoyed. Lu Qingshan had been knocked unconscious by him, and he himself had been defeated by Su Chen.

The Su Family had clearly already obtained the Lord of Destruction, yet they were still pretending ignorance here. Did they want him to take the blame to attract the attention of other families?

At this moment, Ye Chen couldn't help but think of Xuanxiu Sword Immortal. If he were still here, he would definitely use a secret technique to help him escape.

At this moment, Ye Chen finally understood.

Without Xuanxiu Sword Immortal, he didn't even have the ability to protect himself.

What Son of Heaven, what Heavenly Dao's favor, it was all illusory.

All the previous opportunities were found by relying on Xuan Xiu Sword Immortal's senses, having nothing to do with the Heavenly Dao at all.

"So the Heavens have never been kind to me!"

Thinking of his current situation, Ye Chen couldn't help but feel a wave of self-mockery.

"Where is Su Chen?"

Ye Chen thought for a moment before finally asking.

In his opinion, Su Chen must have gotten that necklace. To hide the Opportunity, he hadn't informed the Su Family Elder before him.

In such large families, even biological brothers harbor ulterior motives, let alone ordinary clansmen.

"Young Master Su Chen is busy with something, how could he have time for you! You'd better honestly hand over the Lord of Destruction. Perhaps, for the sake of the Ye Family, you might die a quicker death!"

The grey-robed Elder's eyes narrowed, a sharp glint flashing within them, as he threatened again.

In his opinion, Ye Chen was simply trying to stall for time, hoping for people from the Ye Family to come and rescue him.

"If you want me to hand over the Lord of Destruction, then release me first! As long as I return to the Ye Family branch, I will naturally tell you where the necklace is!"

Ye Chen didn't say that he hadn't obtained the necklace. After all, this item was his biggest life-saving charm at the moment.

He had already determined that Su Chen had the necklace. Ye Chen was gambling that Su Chen wanted to keep the necklace for himself and wouldn't expose him.

"You think you have the right to negotiate with this Lord?"

Upon hearing Ye Chen's words, Su Wan's expression suddenly turned cold. He leaned down and stared at Ye Chen, sneering.

"Elder Su Wan, Young Master Su Chen asked me to come. He said he wants to take Ye Chen to the Criminal Hall!"

Suddenly, a Su Family Disciple ran in and said to Su Wan.

Su Wan looked up, his face somewhat unsightly. He then sealed Ye Chen's cultivation and waved his hand, signaling the Disciple to take him away.

"Great, as long as I can get in touch with Su Chen, I can test his reaction!"

Ye Chen lowered his head, thinking carefully. If things went well, he might even be able to take the necklace from Su Chen.

...

Meanwhile, at Yue Lai Inn.

Inside the room, Lin Ruiyang sat alone at a square table, leisurely drinking tea, but his mind was filled with thoughts.

In the original work, with the help of the Lord of Destruction, Lu Qingshan's cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, completely solidifying his position as the Divine Child of the Supreme Pavilion.

Not only that, he also married Li Yiran and, just like Ye Chen, began conquering the Myriad Realms.

If the original work hadn't been an unfinished story, Lin Ruiyang estimated that this Lu Qingshan could also have become an Emperor.

Thinking of this, Lin Ruiyang took out a Soul Nurturing Pill, crushed it, and injected the medicinal power into the emerald green gem.

In an instant, the remnant soul of the Lord of Destruction was seen gradually regaining its radiance with the naked eye.

However, the Lord of Destruction was a deity after all. Even with only a remnant soul left, the energy required was extremely terrifying.

One Soul Nurturing Pill was not enough to wake her.

As for the Opportunity in the Immortal Ancient Battlefield, it was not a problem for Lin Ruiyang at all.

This remnant soul of the Lord of Destruction had followed Lu Qingshan before. Although he had seized her now, it would likely take some effort to make her work for him.

【Ding! Ye Qingcheng feels resentful, emotional value +1000!】

"Hmm?"

Hearing the System's mechanical voice in his mind, Lin Ruiyang finally reacted. He immediately put away the necklace and walked towards Ye Qingcheng's room.

"Sorry, I neglected you just now!"

As soon as Lin Ruiyang entered the room and saw Ye Qingcheng's resentful eyes, he instantly felt a little guilty.

He helped Ye Qingcheng up and sat her on his lap, changing the subject.

"I've already asked people from the Black Market to notify the Ye Family. I believe Ye Chen will be fine!"

Lin Ruiyang smiled slightly, speaking softly, but a cold sneer echoed in his heart.

He hadn't sent anyone to tell the Ye Family at all. What he was thinking was that it would be best for Ye Chen to suffer a bit more in Su Chen's hands.

In the Ancient Kingdom Secret Realm, Su Chen was in that cave, subjected to... by a few household servants.

And Su Chen had always thought Ye Chen did it. Now that he had fallen into Su Chen's hands, one could imagine the days to come.

It is estimated that even if he doesn't die this time, he will develop a fear of matters between men and women.

Just think, Ye Chen first with the three-headed spiritual pig... and now...

If Ye Qingcheng weren't here, Lin Ruiyang would really want to laugh up at the sky.

When he Cultivates to the pinnacle of the extreme path, surpassing the Heavenly Dao, he will ask the Heavenly Dao what kind of judgment it had to choose these useless people as Sons of Fortune.

"You... Why didn't you ask me and just made the decision yourself?"

Ye Qingcheng gave Lin Ruiyang a meaningful look and asked curiously.

Lin Ruiyang smiled slightly, showing a harmless expression: "No matter what, he is your nominal older brother. We can't just stand by and watch him die!"

【Ding! Ye Qingcheng feels touched, emotional value +1000!】

Hearing the System's mechanical voice in his mind, Lin Ruiyang was delighted. His acting skills, he estimated, could even win him the Best Actor award in the Huaxia world.

Alas... truly a future star whose potential was delayed by Transmigration!

"Husband..."

Ye Qingcheng pursed her lips, looking at Lin Ruiyang with teary eyes.

It wasn't that she still had any illusions about Ye Chen, but she still had some feelings for her adoptive parents and didn't want to make them sad.

At this moment, Ye Qingcheng felt that having a husband like Lin Ruiyang was a blessing she had cultivated over several lifetimes.

...

Meanwhile, in the basement of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion.

Several Su Family Disciples escorted Ye Chen, descending the stone stairs all the way down.

Before long, they arrived at an open area approximately ten zhang in circumference.

The walls around were hung with various torture instruments specially made by the Su Family.

A strong sense of resentment emanated from those torture instruments. One look was enough to tell that quite a few people had died on them.

Ye Chen merely glanced over them quickly and didn't feel much fear.

If Su Chen had already obtained the necklace, he would need Ye Chen to attract attention and wouldn't kill him.

If he hadn't obtained it, he certainly wouldn't kill him. At that time, the whereabouts of the necklace would become his life-saving charm, even though he didn't know where it was.

"Boom boom boom!"

Just then, a rumbling sound echoed. Before everyone's eyes, a stone door slowly rose.

Behind the stone door, Su Chen walked out with a calm expression. The moment he saw Ye Chen, his face suddenly turned cold, and killing intent was revealed in his eyes.

Behind him followed ten beggars. Although their clothes were ragged, it couldn't hide their sturdy physiques.
