Chapter 861: Another Protector

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ye Chen took a deep look at the old man as the giant waves rose and crashed within his heart. It took him quite some time to calm down.

He originally thought that the Core Tower and the Luo family did not have much of a reputation, but now it seemed that the family behind Luo Yao was definitely extraordinary!

Otherwise, how could they dispatch such a strong bodyguard for her?

Mister Jingshui put away his green sword and asked, “Are you from the Core Tower?”

The old man did not intend to answer. Instead, he closed his eyes and guarded Luo Yao. To him, the only thing that mattered was the young miss’ safety.

If anything happened to her, the Old Master would be furious, and he would lose his life.

At this moment, the crowd was in an uproar, as they had all heard Mr. Jingshui’s question.

The Core Tower!

Never in their wildest dreams would they have thought that the person who saved Ye Chen was from the Core Tower!

The Core Tower was an extremely mysterious force in the Kunlun Mountains, and also represented the pinnacle of the Kunlun Mountains’ Alchemy Dao.

Not only were there top-notch alchemists there, but there were also top-notch experts!

Countless experts were willing to serve the Core Tower in order to obtain access to pills.

As time pa.s.sed, the experts of the Kunlun Mountains naturally feared and respected the Core Tower. They would rather offend a top sect than an alchemist from the Core Tower!

After all, the Core Tower operated by a strict invitation system. Without an invitation, no one could enter, and trespa.s.sing was punishable by death!

It was precisely because of this that the Core Tower remained a mystery to the inhabitants of the Kunlun Mountains. It was like a hermit’s land.

It was also very rare to see members of the Core Tower out in public, which was why there was such a hoo-ha among the onlookers. It was not obvious why the old man used the ancient cauldron as a weapon.

Only the experts of the Core Tower would be like this!

Luo Yao looked at Mr. Jingshui’s fearful expression and sneered, “Didn’t you want to kill me just now? Why did you stop? I’ll just stand here. I promise thatl won’t fight back.”

Mr. Jingshui hesitated for a few seconds. Although he was very unhappy, he still cupped his hands and compromised, “Miss, I have a personal grudge against Ye Chen. Please don’t stop me. As for what happened just now, I’m willing to apologize to you.”

“Miss, you can make any request of me. I will spare no effort to satisfy it.”

Mr. Jingshui compromised!

He had no choice. Thanks to the mysterious old man’s existence, it was impossible for him to adopt the forceful approach anymore.

If he had to fight this old man, he would have to pay a huge price.

Unless it was absolutely necessary, he would never do this. Now, the best way forward was to have this girl give up on protecting Ye Chen.

For a brief moment, he wondered what was so special about Ye Chen, that so many beautiful women would stand up for him and protect him.

First, it was Ji Siqing, and now it was this woman from the Core Tower…

Whether it was their strength or status, these two women were leagues ahead of Ye Chen!

“Miss, what do you think? I’m willing to use an ancient cauldron as compensation!”

Mr. Jingshui then took out a crimson cauldron, which was engraved with dragon and phoenix pattern, and it exuded an ancient aura.

If anyone were to refine pills with it, the effects would definitely be excellent!

He thought that his plan was perfect. After all, those from the Core Tower would definitely recognize the value of this cauldron.

He had obtained it in a dangerous secret realm many years ago and had been carefully safeguarding it.

He was even reluctant to show it to others.

However, he was now willing to part with it in exchange for Ye Chen’s life.

He wanted to vent the hatred in his heart!

As soon as the ancient cauldron appeared, a desolate aura spread out, and there were even waves of energy sweeping through the surroundings.

Countless gazes turned to the cold and arrogant girl, eagerly awaiting her reply.

An ancient cauldron in exchange for a cheap life, it was a bargain!

To the members of the Core Tower, the cauldron should be more precious.

The young woman suddenly stepped forward, and the light veil around her floated in the air and danced in the wind.

She looked like a beautiful fairy.

However, the girl’s eyes emitted an extremely domineering aura, and her voice rippled out in all directions.

“Ridiculous! Why did you show me such a trashy cauldron? Do you think that I’m a beggar?”

As soon as she said that, the crowd gasped in unison.

Trashy cauldron?

This ancient treasure was actually called trashy by this young woman!

How arrogant!

Mr. Jingshui’s mouth twitched, and his face darkened. He could not accept this reality.

Just as he was about to speak, the girl took a few steps forward again while speaking.

“Apologize? Do I, Luo Yao, need your apology?!”

“Jingshui! Since you want to know my ident.i.ty, I’ll tell you! I’m from the Core Tower and the Luo family!”

“If you think that your strength or your connections in the Kunlun Mountains can shake the Luo family, go ahead and try your luck!”

Luo Yao then looked at Mr. Jingshui’s shocked face before continuing, “Also, Ye Chen is a member of the Luo family. If you dare to touch him, you’ll be making an enemy of them and the Core Tower!”

“Also ,what kind of bullsh*t compet.i.tion is this? It’s ridiculous! Many of the top geniuses I know aren’t here. Do you really think you have a lot of connections? In the eyes of those true experts, you’re just an ant! Who do you think you are?”

Mr. Jingshui’s face turned pale!

After being humiliated like this, he should have killed someone in a rage!

However, the ident.i.ty of this young girl made it impossible for him to be angry. There was only one Luo family, and they had an ancient alchemist who was still alive!

Every year when the plum blossoms bloomed, the sect masters of the truly top- notch sects in the Kunlun Mountains would personally pay a visit to that ancient alchemist!

How did Ye Chen get involved with such a colossal force?

The surrounding crowd was completely silent.

Countless gazes turned to Ye Chen. At this moment, there was only envy and jealousy in their hearts.

Ji Siqing had protected Ye Chen for five years, but after Elder Ke had taken her away, another young lady from the Luo family came to protect Ye Chen. They really wanted to vomit blood.

Ye Chen did not know anything about alchemy. Why would the Luo family take a fancy to him?

At this moment, Ye Chen’s expression became strange. He looked at Luo Yao’s back.

He really could not figure out why the young miss of such a top-notch family would stay in the Land of Slaughter for so long.

She was concentrating on alchemy?

Was there a need for that?

Could there be something else going on?

After a brief period of silence, Mr. Jingshui suddenly cupped his hands and said, “So it’s the young miss of the Luo family. I visited your father a few decades ago, but unfortunately, your father was refining pills and didn’t have time to see me. I will definitely visit the Core Tower personally to apologize for my offense today.”

Luo Yao snorted coldly and was about to say something when the old man beside her said, “Young Miss, it’s about time. Don’t forget about your relations.h.i.+p with Master. If this person tells the Luo family about this, it will be troublesome for you.”

“Also, even a dog will jump over a wall when it’s anxious. This fellow’s ident.i.ty isn’t that simple. If he really uses his full strength, you and I might not be able to leave this place unscathed.”
