Chapter 880: Dead End?

“I keep feeling that before I dealt with that kid, I encountered something extraordinary!”

“However, I can’t tell exactly what it is. Every time I try to think about it, my mind feels like it’s going to explode,” Cui Yuan said with difficulty.

Upon hearing this, Senior Nanxuan suddenly thought of something. He stretched out his hand and pointed his finger at the top of Cui Yuan’s head. Then, just as he was about to use his strength to infiltrate Cui Yuan’s mind, he discovered a red light coming at him.

Senior Nanxuan hurriedly retracted his hand and took three steps back before he barely stopped. His expression was extremely gloomy as he said, “It seems like someone has erased your memories. Someone who can erase your memories is definitely not an ordinary cultivator.”

“Moreover, the remaining power in your mind is a little strange. It seems… It seems like it doesn’t belong to a human… However, I can only a.n.a.lyze what happened exactly after meeting the person who did it.”

He glanced around and found that a few of the onlookers had also been killed. From this, he surmised that no one knew what was happening here.

All traces were completely cut off.

“Senior Nanxuan, can you use a technique to recover that part of my memory?” Cui Yuan asked.

Senior Nanxuan shook his head. “No. The opponent’s ability is higher than mine. In other words, the person who erased your memories is extremely dangerous.”

Cui Yuan hesitated for a few seconds before saying, “Then what should we do?”

“The only clue is the person who kidnapped your child. Do you know where he went?” Senior Nanxuan frowned.

Cui Yuan’s eyes lit up as he looked at the Core Tower and said, “Senior, that kid asked me for a token to enter Core Tower, so I’m sure he’s trying to enter or is inside the Core Tower right now!”

Senior Nanxuan’s gaze followed Cui Yuan’s finger that was pointing toward the Core Tower in the distance. He sneered coldly and said, “Isn’t that kid courting death by going to the Core Tower at this time?”

“Alchemy Master Ling Yi just came out of seclusion not long ago. For some reason, he’s been searching Danxu Town frantically, and even went to the outer regions of Danxu Town. I don’t know what he’s looking for, but since Alchemy Master Ling Yi isn’t inside the Core Tower now, it won’t be so easy to enter.”

“Cui Yuan, since this matter is related to your Cui family, come with me.”

The very next second, Senior Nanxuan grabbed Cui Yuan and rushed toward the Core Tower with the other elders.

At this moment, Ye Chen was knocking on the door outside the Core Tower, but there was no response.

The formation barricading the entrance could not be undone at all.

“d.a.m.n it! Where did the two gatekeepers go?”

Ye Chen unsheathed the Dragonslayer Heaven Sword and was about to try to break the formation using force, when Little Gold said with difficulty, “You won’t be able to break the formation with your current strength. Even I wouldn’t be able to at my peak strength from earlier. This is a true ancient treasure, and it’s been perfectly preserved and maintained.”

“Then what should we do?”

“Just wait,” Little Gold said weakly.

Then, just as Ye Chen was pacing back and forth, two old men slowly walked over.

It was Old Yang and Old Fang!

The two of them had spent the entire day looking for Ye Chen. However, when they saw Ye Chen, they did not recognize him immediately.

After all, Ye Chen was disguised as Ye s.h.i.+tian at the moment.

“Kid, what are you doing at the door?”

When Ye Chen saw the two of them, he exhaled and quickly handed over the Cui family’s token. “Seniors, I wish to enter the Core Tower.”

Old Yang waved his hand and slapped Ye Chen’s token on the ground in annoyance. “Alchemy Master Ling Yi is out today. Unless there’s a special situation, the Core Tower won’t open.”

“Also, it might not open for the next few days, so don’t even think about it. This token is just an ordinary token for entry and exit. It doesn’t carry any authority.”

Ye Chen was stunned. He did not expect the opening of the Void Core Tower to be so fickle. Did entrance to the Core Tower require the approval of this Alchemy Master?

Ye Chen looked at Old Fang, who had a better temper, and cupped his fists toward the latter. “Senior Fang, may I ask when the esteemed Alchemy Master will return?”

Elder Fang shook his head.

Suddenly, he noticed something and looked at Ye Chen with interest. “Little brother, why do I feel that you look a little familiar?”

Ye Chen was about to speak when a few domineering auras descended upon the surroundings.

These people were Cui Yuan, Senior Nanxuan, and the others.

Naturally, Cui Yuan saw Ye Chen arguing with the two old gatekeepers and quickly pointed at Ye Chen and said excitedly, “Senior Nanxuan, it’s that kid. This kid tortured my son and used some unknown method to seriously injure me and kill several people from Danxu Town! I suspect that this kid’s purpose for coming here is to harm the Core Tower!”

Ye Chen’s face turned pale when he heard this. It was too late.

He tried to communicate with the Samsara Graveyard, but did not receive a response from Lin Qingxuan.

Lin Qingxuan had told him that he had to face everything alone, but how could he possibly extricate himself from his current predicament?

When Old Yang heard this, his eyes instantly turned cold.

He was a native of Danxu Town, so hearing that this young man had actually slaughtered others in his hometown was infuriating. His crime was unforgivable!

Even the token he had touched just now might have been stained with the blood of people he knew.

In the distance, Senior Nanxuan looked at Ye Chen with interest. He could not figure out how a mere peak-level saint realm cultivator could kill so many experts.

He took a step forward and said to Old Yang and Old Fang, “We need to take this person away for investigation.”

Old Yang took out a sword, which overflowed with spiritual energy, and placed it against Ye Chen’s neck.

“Daoist Nanxuan, this person has committed such a monstrous crime, so we naturally won’t cover for him. Fortunately, Alchemy Master Ling Yi has left. Otherwise, we might have allowed this kid to enter!”

“Brat, just surrender. You should never have done such an atrocious thing in Danxu Town. The Core Tower cannot tolerate a blood-stained thug like you!”

Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed as he looked at the sword at his neck. He was thinking of a way to get himself out of this predicament.

Seeing this, Cui Yuan quickly cupped his hands toward Old Yang and thanked him, “Sir, thankyousomuch! Alchemy Master Ling Yi has two top-notch experts constantly protecting him, which is why nothing has happened to the Core Tower for so long.”

Old Yang nodded in satisfaction and said to Ye Chen, “Brat, what else do you have to say? I advise you to cooperate obediently. Otherwise, an outsider like you can forget about walking out of here alive.”

Cui Yuan was ecstatic!

If Alchemy Master Ling Yi did not come out of seclusion, catching this brat would be difficult. It seemed that even the heavens were on his side!

“Wait!” Suddenly, Old Fang, who had been silent all this while, spoke.

His voice was trembling as he stared at Ye Chen.

“Old Fang, what’s wrong with you again?” Old Yang’s expression turned strange.

Old Fang ignored him. Instead, he faced Ye Chen and said excitedly, “Little brother, can I ask you a question?”

Ye Chen felt that something was wrong but nodded.

Under everyone’s puzzled gazes, Old Fang took a step forward and approached Ye Chen, whispering into his ear. He asked softly, “Were you the one looking for someone here not long ago?”
