Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

Ye Chen casually dragged a chair over and sat down next to Liu Jingxuan, putting his hand on the other's shoulder, just like two good buddies.

"Oh, tell me about it, give me some pointers!"

Liu Jingxuan's body stiffened slightly. She glanced at Ye Chen's hand out of the corner of her eye, but dared not make the slightest move to resist.

He probably thought Ye Chen would think he was going to resist and give him a beating.

If someone loses their hand, they can still live, but what about their neck...?

Liu Jingxuan's throat bobbed as he continued, "Although you've reached the Foundation Establishment realm at such a young age, you're not invincible. Some people and forces could easily take your life!"

Ye Chen remained noncommittal, gesturing for him to continue.

He wasn't arrogant enough to think he was invincible, but he couldn't agree with the notion that it was as easy as turning one's hand.

Do you really think his Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment is just for show? It won't be so easy for others to take his dog's life.

Liu Jingxuan coughed lightly, clearing his slightly hoarse throat: "Take our Orochi Group for example, our organizational foundation is far beyond your imagination!"

Ye Chen nodded, but still did not express his opinion.

That seems to be the case on the surface; just considering cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage, he casually killed two of them.

This proves that the Orochi group has more Foundation Establishment experts than the Hokuto group.

The only known Foundation Establishment experts in Beidou are himself and Zhao Tianlong's 99-year-old father.

The Orochi Group can send two Foundation Establishment experts over at will. If you say they are their only two Foundation Establishment experts, even a child wouldn't believe it.

However, this also prompted Ye Chen to wonder why there were so many Foundation Establishment experts in Little Sakura.

How much spiritual energy could such a tiny place possibly have?

Having one or two spiritual veins is already quite remarkable, isn't it?

Moreover, the two Foundation Establishment experts he killed were not very old.

That's rather strange.

Old Zhao only achieved foundation building in his later years, so why are these Japanese devils able to achieve it so quickly?

It seems we'll have to investigate this matter thoroughly in the future.

Seeing that Ye Chen did not refute him, Liu Jingxuan seemed to have gained more confidence and continued, "As the saying goes, virtue is not commensurate with wealth. You are still inexperienced and do not deserve to possess so many treasures, at least that's how outsiders see it."

Liu Jingxuan spoke these words cautiously, afraid of offending Ye Chen.

If Ye Chen changed his expression even slightly, he would immediately change his tone.

Seeing that Ye Chen was not angry, Liu Jingxuan continued, "Possessing treasures is itself a sin!"

"The main problem is that our team leader has his eye on something you have. And when our team leader sets his sights on something, he gets it!"

"If you don't hand over the goods every day, you'll face endless assassination attempts. Can you defend against one, or even countless times?"

"Take this time for example, the organization has already sent a top-tier expert!"

"To tell you the truth, his methods are far beyond your imagination. You can't defend against them, and you have absolutely no chance of surviving!"

"However, as long as you hand over the items and then hide with your parents for a year or two, this crisis will resolve itself!"

Liu Jingxuan finished speaking in one breath, then stared nervously at Ye Chen, waiting for his reaction.

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow: "Oh, you're quite kind. Should I thank you?"

Liu Jingxuan's face twitched: "Ye, Ye Chen, I just couldn't bear to see the prodigy of Beidou fall. We were all acting under orders and had no choice in the matter. Otherwise, perhaps we could have become friends!"

Ye Chen was disdainful but didn't expose them. He simply said calmly, "Since your organization's experts are arriving soon, why did you act ahead of time? Let me guess, are you planning to betray the organization?"

Ye Chen's words made Liu Jingxuan's face stiffen.

Ye Chen smiled and said, "Or are you afraid of the people who came this time, and want something to enhance your self-worth?"

Ye Chen had already guessed the general idea from Liu Jingxuan's reaction.

That's probably his guess.

Judging from the disheveled appearance of Liu Jingxuan and the others, they must have had a tough time these past few days.

If the Orochi Group were to take them away, judging by their speed, they would probably have arrived in Sakura by now.

The fact that they appeared in Lucheng and even came to covet his belongings means he can't leave.

They might have already been discarded and are now being used one last time.

Liu Jingxuan and the others were unwilling to be abandoned like this, so they made one last gamble, hoping to fight for a future.

As for the expert Liu Jingxuan mentioned, Ye Chen felt that he was not lying to him about that.

Based on his intuition, it's likely that someone is indeed trying to harm him.

Ye Chen patted Liu Jingxuan on the shoulder, a pat that made Liu Jingxuan shudder and almost fall to the ground.

"Tell me about the person who came. You seem to want to avoid him. What? Is he that frightening to you?"

Liu Jingxuan and his group were willing to risk facing a Foundation Establishment expert in order to act ahead of time.

It's clear that Liu Jingxuan and the others were even more wary of that expert than of Ye Chen.

Therefore, Ye Chen was quite curious about who this person was.

As expected, when Ye Chen said this, Liu Jingxuan's expression became very complicated and even showed a hint of fear.

Liu Jingxuan took a deep breath: "His name is Yamamoto Jiro, and he's a spirit tamer!"

Liu Jingxuan ultimately did not hide anything and told the truth.

At this point, if we want any chance of survival, we can't lie, and there's no need to hide anything.

"Spirit Masters are a mysterious and powerful profession, specializing in the spiritual realm. They can raise spirit servants, invisible to the naked eye, capable of killing without a trace. Once they set their sights on you, you might never wake up from your sleep one day!"

At this point, a hint of fear flashed in Liu Jingxuan's eyes.

Upon hearing the word "Spirit Master," Ye Chen's expression turned strange. "Oh, so there really is such a heretical cultivation profession!"

It seems I am not alone on this path!

Maybe we can even exchange tips on how to raise a spirit servant to be plump and healthy...

Liu Jingxuan thought Ye Chen was also frightened, so she prompted him to speak:

"So I advise you to hand over the things right away, then take your parents and find a place to hide. Your life is the most important thing!"

"Being targeted by a spirit tamer is just as dangerous as being targeted by Eighth Master!"

"He'll be arriving in Xiamen soon. I'll hand over the stuff then and cover for you!"

"Of course, I had my own selfish reasons for doing this; I also wanted to live!"

"We're each keeping our own paths, what do you think?!"

At this moment, Liu Jingxuan seemed quite frank, not hiding his thoughts.

Ye Chen glanced sideways at Liu Jingxuan: "Not so great. I'll show you how I utterly crush the Spirit Master you so revered!"

Since the other party has not yet shown up, Ye Chen cannot touch Liu Jingxuan for the time being. As long as he is alive, he can still serve as a messenger.

Otherwise, if the line breaks, it will be difficult to find the other party.

What if the other party is a scoundrel of a spirit master who does things by any means necessary?
