After being imprisoned in a women's prison for five years, I became a master of both medicine a

Ye Chen bent down, picked up the ring, and examined it closely.

This ring is made of neither gold nor stone, and has an antique design. It doesn't look like a modern piece of craftsmanship; instead, it resembles an ancient artifact.

The fact that it could withstand the scorching heat of extreme yang fire already indicated that this thing was extraordinary, but Ye Chen couldn't tell exactly what made it extraordinary for the time being.

"Never mind, I'll look into it when I get back. I wonder how things are at the warehouse?"

Concerned about the safety of Gu Ning and the other women, he didn't investigate further and hurriedly returned home.

Meanwhile, on a hillside five kilometers away, a black light burst forth from the ground, and a small, black bell hung in mid-air, spinning around.

A voice of resentment came from inside the bell: "Damn it! I have so many cultivation resources, and seven Dragon Balls!"

"No, Ye Chen must have had a great opportunity during the five years he was gone. If we don't eliminate him as soon as possible, he will become a major threat to the Truth Cult. I must report this news to the Holy Envoy immediately."

As Zhong Shengzi thought about it, he habitually prepared to take out his phone.

But then he realized that he was just a soul, sealed inside the Soul-Locking Bell, so where did the cell phone come from?

"Don't panic. Once the Soul-Locking Bell is activated, even if we are thousands of miles apart, the Holy Envoy will receive the news immediately and come to rescue us. It's not too late to tell him the news then."

He muttered to himself, thinking he would find a place to hide and wait for the Truth Cult to come and save him.

But at that moment, his consciousness suddenly began to waver.

"What was I trying to do again? Oh no, my soul has been separated from my body for too long, and my memories are starting to fade. I hope the Holy Envoy can arrive in time before I completely forget what happened tonight."

"Ring ring ring..."

In the dimly lit hall of a shrine in Japan, the wind chimes hanging in the room suddenly rang without any wind, and an old man sitting cross-legged in the center of the hall suddenly looked up.

"The Soul-Locking Bell of the Holy Son has been triggered. What exactly happened to him in the Great Xia? Was he being hunted down by a Nascent Soul cultivator?"

He muttered something to himself, then immediately got up and strode away from the shrine.

......

At this moment, in the warehouse of the Gu Group in the southern suburbs of Lin'an.

Ye Chen abandoned Gu Ning and the other two women and ran away. There was no sign of the men Wang Sheng sent out returning. There were less than a third of the people present. He also couldn't contact Zhong Shengzi. He was starting to panic.

Moreover, since Zhong Shengzi hadn't given any orders, he didn't dare do anything to Gu Ning and the other two. He paced back and forth on the balcony, as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, filled with worry.

He and the Wang family were the vanguard in dealing with Ye Chen tonight. If Zhong Shengzi couldn't take down Ye Chen, and the news was exposed, he couldn't imagine the immense wrath the Ye family would inflict on him and the Wang family.

At that time, the extermination of the Wang family would be the least of their worries; all members of the clan would likely be reduced to ashes.

Thinking of this, he looked at Lu Yousheng and Ma Cheng, "Do you think the boss and the others really let that idiot Ye Chen get away?"

Ma Cheng scoffed upon hearing this, "Look at your cowardly appearance. Our commander is a Golden Core Realm martial artist. Even if that idiot had ten thousand legs, he wouldn't be able to escape at all."

"A Golden Core Realm expert? That's wonderful, hahaha..."

Wang Sheng's mood instantly changed from worry and panic to surprise, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

In his eyes, a Golden Core Realm expert was a figure no different from a god. With such a powerful figure making a move, Ye Chen would surely die tonight.

"Hehe, Ye Chen, just go to hell. After you die, I'll take good care of your women."

Just as he was thinking this, a shout suddenly came from afar.

"Ningning, my wife, Qianqian, Xue'er, I'm back to save you."

"Holy crap, it's that idiot's voice! He's not dead?" Wang Sheng's smile froze on his face, and he was completely dumbfounded.

Even Lu Yousheng and Ma Cheng couldn't help but stand up and look in the direction from which the sound came.

Then they saw Ye Chen running back, panting heavily.

"Ah Chen, you..."

Upon seeing Ye Chen appear, Gu Ning and Liu Ruxue, who had been somewhat disappointed, immediately showed joy on their faces.

However, the next second, both women's expressions changed, and they became extremely anxious.

"Yes, Brother Chen, have you informed Grandpa Ye?" Liu Ruxue asked hurriedly.

"Husband, what are you doing back here? Could it be that you..." Gu Ning thought of a possibility: there was a very high probability that Ye Chen had regained consciousness.

Ye Chen looked at them and said with a grin, "You're my women, of course I had to come and save you. I was just dealing with a few bugs."

"Brother Chen said I'm his woman!" Liu Ruxue's heart skipped a beat. "Has he finally forgiven me?"

Thinking of this, she was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes. All her hard work over the past few days had finally paid off.

Shen Qianqian, who remained expressionless throughout, was also trembling inside.

At this moment, a subtle, almost imperceptible change appeared on her usually calm face, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, revealing her cute little tiger teeth.

However, this time it wasn't about playing a trick on anyone, but rather genuine happiness.

"It seems that Brother Chen is also a little interested in me. In that case, can I mention the matter of me cultivating with him to improve my Xuan Yin Technique strength?" she thought to herself.

Gu Ning's stunningly beautiful face also revealed a breathtaking smile. Ye Chen was conscious, so they were saved.

Although she didn't know what Ye Chen would do, she had a strange confidence in her husband.

Ye Chen looked up at Wang Sheng and snorted coldly, "I advise you to release them now, or you'll die a horrible death."

Hearing that Ye Chen was now conscious, Wang Sheng felt a little flustered.

But then he realized why he was panicking. Gu Ning and the other two women were in his hands. So what if Ye Chen returned to his monstrous genius state? He could still control him.

Thinking of this, he burst into laughter, "Hahaha... Ye Chen, are you still going to bluff? Your three women are still in my hands, and we have so many experts with us. What makes you think you can take my life?"

With that, he waved his hand, and more than a dozen dark gun barrels immediately pointed at Ye Chen.

These guns have a very large caliber and have been specially modified to deal with martial arts experts. Even a Foundation Establishment Grandmaster would be injured if hit by one.

Furthermore, Lu Yousheng, Ma Cheng, and the remaining Foundation Establishment Grandmaster from Zhong Shengzi's side, along with five Qi Refining Grandmasters, were all on high alert.

At this moment, the Gu poison in Zhou Kai and Hu Zhi's bodies, no longer suppressed by Ye Chen using the King of Ten Thousand Gu, had already fully erupted, leaving corpses everywhere.

Wang Sheng pointed to the dagger on the ground and chuckled strangely.

"I'll say it again, pick up that dagger now and kill yourself, and I might spare these three women's lives. Otherwise, you're all doomed!"
