Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

What kind of situation would make a Foundation Establishment expert say such a thing?

What kind of situation would make the other party give up resistance?

Perhaps even a Foundation Establishment elder from a humble background knows that with such a difference in strength, there isn't much difference between resisting and not resisting.

It's just a matter of struggling a bit more.

He wants to find out the truth right now!

If he dies unjustly and without a clear explanation, how can he face his ancestors and his humble predecessors?

A normal person, upon seeing this situation, might immediately stop, then put on a show and say a few harsh words.

However, Ye Chen did not stop there. He moved swiftly and decisively, and directly pierced the dantian of the Foundation Establishment Elder of the Cold Sect with a flying sword.

Ye Chen didn't care about any of that. Who the hell talks about martial ethics? He'd just cripple him first.

An opponent who doesn't struggle or resist is the safest.

It's quite troublesome for a Foundation Establishment expert to risk their life to create something or destroy something.

Whether you truly want to die or are planning a sneak attack, the initiative must be in his hands.

"Ah—, you despicable—"

The Foundation Establishment Elder from the humble background let out a miserable scream, his voice filled with despair, resentment, and even anger.

He seemed to have not expected that Ye Chen would not hesitate at all and directly destroy his Qi Sea.

Ye Chen sneered, "Heh, trying to feign weakness and then launch a surprise attack, huh? Didn't expect that, did you? People don't fall for that trick anymore!"

Ye Chen was someone who could observe Qi, and judging from the other party's reaction, Ye Chen was certain of his guess.

This old guy may seem to have given up resisting, but in reality, he is very likely preparing a final blow, and such a counterattack often has a surprising effect.

Otherwise, his first reaction to having his dantian destroyed wouldn't have been like this.

If Ye Chen were to foolishly stop and engage in a verbal exchange with the other party, he would be playing right into their hands.

Ye Chen didn't stop his actions while speaking; instead, he directly crippled the other party's limbs!

The Foundation Establishment Elder from a humble background plummeted straight down, his eyes filled with a complex mix of anger, terror, and resentment.

Is he about to become a Foundation Establishment expert who falls to his death?

Even the strongest man lost his last shred of dignity; he was unwilling to accept it!

At that moment, he regretted it. He should have run away immediately; perhaps he would have had a chance to survive.

Just when he thought he was about to fall to his death, his body slowed down, and Ye Chen caught him and threw him towards the Hanmen Sect Master who was lying on the ground.

"Who are you? When did my humble family ever offend you?!"

The Foundation Establishment elder from a humble background stared intently at Ye Chen, gritting his teeth as he spoke.

"Stop your babbling and let me see if your so-called sect leader is dead or not!" Ye Chen said calmly without even glancing at the Foundation Establishment elder from the Humble Sect.

The Foundation Establishment Elder from a humble background had his face flushed red, whether from annoyance or rage was unclear.

This was probably the most frustrating moment of his life.

Who didn't treat him with utmost respect before?

The stark contrast between the young man's current indifference and his complete disregard for him was extremely distressing.

The disciples who were originally checking on the condition of the sect leader of the poor family were now trembling and retreating to the side, not daring to utter a sound.

Good heavens, he... he couldn't be seeing things, could he? A Foundation Establishment Elder was actually thrown over like a dead dog, and it seems... it seems he was even crippled...

What kind of evil star is this?

Could it be that he's going to attack me too?

Should we run?

Fortunately, Ye Chen squatted down next to Sect Master He, seemingly having no intention of attacking him.

The disciple finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Chen checked on Sect Master He's injuries; he was still half-dead and quite resilient.

Since he still has half a breath left, there's still a chance to save him.

Even if he can't be saved, it's still possible to keep him conscious for a while.

Ye Chen took out silver needles and began emergency treatment. After a series of needle insertions, Sect Master He actually woke up slowly.

Sect Master He opened his eyes, looked at Ye Chen, who seemed a little dazed, and then looked around, his mind still reeling.

After a long pause, his gaze focused, and he slowly spoke, "What happened to me? What just happened?"

Ye Chen chuckled lightly: "Greetings, Sect Leader He!"

Sect Master He shook his head slightly and looked at Ye Chen again. At first, he didn't think anything of it, but after a moment, he was stunned when he saw Ye Chen's face clearly.

Holy crap, are you hallucinating from being so badly injured?

Sect Leader He closed his eyes, shook his head, and opened them again to see Ye Chen still smiling at him.

Master He was completely stunned, and then he looked around again.

Finally, he discovered the dilapidated and collapsed houses around him, the elders lying on the ground like dead dogs, and the poor disciples crouching not far away, trembling with fear...

What happened? How could this be?

"Elder, Elder, what's wrong with you!" Sect Master He cried out.

The Foundation Establishment elder from the humble background glanced at Sect Master He without saying a word. What's wrong with him? Can't you see? He's crippled!

"Ahhh—"

The screams of poor students could still be heard from not far away.

A moment later, Ah Long flew over, a shuttle needle hovering beside him, constantly passing through the fallen disciples of the poor family.

It's like an assembly line, very fast!

Whether he's dead or not, give him two injections first!

Ah Long flew to Ye Chen's side and pierced the head of the trembling poor disciple with a single needle.

The movements were clean and efficient.

That poor student never expected to be attacked like this until his death.

Ye Chen hadn't attacked him yet, and he thought the danger had passed, but then another ruthless figure appeared and attacked without warning...

What can we do then? (Sigh...)

"Brother Ye, the situation on the west side has been resolved; there are no survivors. I'll go check on the east side!"

Ah Long glanced at the Han Clan Elder and Han Clan Leader on the ground, then quickly looked past them and searched for survivors again.

Ye Chen nodded: "Go ahead, and while you're at it, see if you can find any treasures. Our humble family has been passed down for a thousand years, so we must have some treasures that protect our sect."

"yes!"

Ah Long flew out again and began "working".

Master He witnessed Ah Long casually kill a disciple from a humble family, which nearly drove him into a rage.

He seemed to realize what had happened.

"You, you're Ye Chen?! Our humble academy has already apologized and offered compensation, what more do you want? Aren't you afraid of public condemnation?!"

Master He gritted his teeth and roared angrily.

Ye Chen snorted lightly: "Hmph, you poor scholar with wolfish ambitions, how many things have you done to harm the country and its people? I'm here on behalf of Beidou to settle accounts with you!"

"You, the humble one, outwardly apologized and admitted defeat, but secretly sent people to assassinate me. Since the feud cannot be resolved, then let's send you on your way!"

Sect Leader He looked somewhat confused. No, when did he send someone to assassinate Ye Chen?

Was someone trying to frame someone from a poor family? That was his first thought.

Or is it that Beidou really wants to establish its authority by using a sect, and the poor sect just happens to be the chicken used as a warning to others?
