Chapter 140: What If I Don’t?

Chapter 140: Chapter 140: What If I Don’t?

The young man looked at Ye Yunyi.

His eyes raked over him from top to bottom.

The corners of his mouth lifted slightly.

He let out a soft snort.

’Aren’t you so tough?’

’Didn’t you shut me out before?’

’And now!’

’I have three powerful Mid-Star Stage Mutants standing beside me!’

’So what if you can kill an Early-Star Stage Mutant!’

’Any one of these three could easily kill an Early-Star Stage Mutant!’

’And besides, there’s only one of you and three of them!’

’What are you going to do?’

’Can you really afford to make enemies of all three of them?’

’Do you even dare?!’

The more he thought about it, the more excited the young man became.

Ye Yunyi looked at them. "Explain what? The Medicine Alliance certainly has a lot of nerve. What, you plan on dragging me away by force?"

Ye Yunyi’s expression gradually turned cold.

His voice was icy as well.

A single sentence made everyone feel as if they had been plunged into an ice cellar.

They felt an immense, bone-deep chill.

Nearby, several Patriarchs saw what was happening and were stunned.

They had never seen Ye Yunyi act like this before.

Then, a sense of indignation rose in their hearts.

’Damn it!’

’Lord Ye is our future son-in-law!’

’Kiss my ass! You think you can just take him away for an "explanation" just because you say so?!’

’So what if you have three Mid-Star Stage Mutants!’

Immediately, an Early-Star Stage Patriarch stepped forward.

"Exactly! The Medicine Alliance is far too arrogant! You demand someone come and ’explain,’ and when he refuses, you bring a few Mid-Star Stage Patriarchs to drag him away?"

"Is that how it works?!"

"Is this how you people operate?!"

"Give us a reason!"

These few sentences stoked the emotions of the other guests.

"Exactly!"

"That’s our future son-in-law! If you want to take him, you’ll have to get through us first!"

"Since when does your Fire Barrier have the right to come to our Cyan Ink Barrier and seize people!"

"You’re going too far!"

"Let me tell you, if you don’t have a legitimate reason, don’t even think about taking him away!"

...

The shouts erupted one after another.

The young man’s eyes went wide. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing.

’Damn it!’

’How is this guy so popular?’

’So many people are helping him?!’

Faced with the crowd’s condemnation, the young man instantly grew flustered.

Then he remembered what the Alliance Leader had said.

He then let out a loud shout.

"Everyone, shut up!"

"You want a reason, don’t you? Fine, I’ll give you a reason!"

Hearing the young man’s shout, the crowd quieted down and looked at him.

The young man then recited his prepared speech.

"You all remember the medicine this kid refined a few days ago, don’t you!"

"The one whose medicinal fragrance spread across half the Cyan Ink Barrier!"

"Do you really think a young punk like him, a solo Alchemist, could concoct a medicine of that quality?!"

"That recipe... he stole it from our Medicine Alliance!"

"So, do you still have a problem with me taking him back?!"

BOOM!

In an instant!

Those words hit the crowd like a depth charge.

It sent a shock through everyone’s hearts.

They all frowned.

For a moment, even they couldn’t tell if he was telling the truth.

Ye Yunyi looked at them. ’What a convenient excuse,’ he thought.

Hmph!

Beside him, Bai Zhixi and the others could no longer sit still.

"You can always find an excuse to frame someone!"

"The main ingredient for my husband’s medicine was a gift from the Eighth King General!"

"It was a Late-Star Stage Exotic Beast Crystal Core!"

"You claim he stole your recipe, so do you have a medicine just like it?"

In an instant, they all started speaking at once.

Ye Yunyi’s wives were incredibly eloquent.

Dozens against one, they immediately launched a verbal assault on the young man.

Meanwhile, news of the situation was spreading.

Many Mutants were discussing it on the streets.

Zou Kai had also sent someone to find the Eighth King General.

However, Zou Kai knew the Eighth King General had been away from the barrier for the past few days, and he had no idea when she would return. The current situation was truly quite urgent.

A short while later.

「At the barrier’s main gate.」

A figure walked in.

Her exquisite face and gorgeous figure could only be described as stunningly beautiful.

It was none other than the Eighth King General, Shangguan Yulan!

The moment the Eighth King General appeared, she drew everyone’s attention.

Many Mutants looked toward the Eighth King General, their heads bowing involuntarily.

Their bodies trembled slightly.

After all, this was a King-level Powerhouse!

One of the few who possessed humanity’s greatest strength.

Shangguan Yulan took in the scene and prepared to walk forward.

The next moment, a figure spotted her and rushed over.

"Eighth King General, there’s a situation!"

’Hm?!’

Shangguan Yulan was taken aback.

’What’s wrong?’

’Why is he in such a panic?’

The man quickly recounted the situation at Ye Yunyi’s manor to Shangguan Yulan.

After listening, her brow furrowed.

"Wait, why do the people from the Medicine Alliance want to take Ye Yunyi away?"

In response to her question, the man explained, "It’s like this, King General. You were away from the barrier for the past few days, so you might not know that Lord Ye is an Alchemist!"

"A senior Alchemist, at that!"

"The fragrance from the medicine he refined spread across half the barrier!"

BOOM!

In an instant!

Shangguan Yulan felt a jolt run through her body.

’That guy!’

’He’s actually a senior Alchemist, too!’

"I have a feeling they’re framing Lord Ye! I’ve never heard of the Medicine Alliance producing a medicine like that. If they had, news of it would have spread everywhere by now!"

"Eighth King General, you should hurry over. Those three Mid-Star Stage Patriarchs look very aggressive."

"If you’re late, I’m afraid something terrible will happen!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shangguan Yulan’s next step took her dozens of meters away.

The man was left standing alone, his mouth twitching. He had never seen the King General in such a hurry or move at such a speed.

「Back in Ye Yunyi’s manor!」

"Enough!"

Seeing the situation, one of the three Patriarchs shouted to stop the bickering and turned to Ye Yunyi. "Are you coming with us or not?"

"And if I don’t?"

His question instantly ratcheted up the tension.

"I see. You must be eager to test the sharpness of my blade!"

The moment the Patriarch finished speaking...

...Ye Yunyi vanished from his spot.

The next moment!

Before everyone’s stunned eyes, Ye Yunyi appeared in front of that very Patriarch.

In that instant, everyone’s hearts pounded.

’This...!’

’What kind of speed is that!’

Even the other Patriarchs were shocked.

Then they watched as Ye Yunyi reached out his hand!

Reaching for the Patriarch’s head!

"How dare you!"

They shouted instantly.

But!

The next instant!

CRUNCH!

A sudden sound ripped through the air.

The sound of cracking bone and tearing flesh combined into an explosive noise.

Then!

A spray of red and white matter erupted in all directions.

It splattered onto the faces of the surrounding guests.

And onto the faces of the other two Patriarchs.

The guests, still reeling in shock, were snapped back to their senses by the splatter of gore.

But due to the profound shock, their eyes couldn’t help but tremble.

Their bodies felt frozen, completely unable to move.
