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

"Ke'er, I'm your fiancé! You can't kill me!" Yan Dong screamed in terror as he backed away. "Have you forgotten our relationship?"

Hearing his words, the resentment in Zhou Ke'er's eyes grew stronger, and she gritted her teeth and said, "From the moment you pushed me out to take the lightning, there was no longer any affection between us."

"Ah, I already said it wasn't intentional, and you're fine now, aren't you? Why are you so vengeful?" Yan Dong hurriedly explained.

"Go to hell!"

Zhou Ke'er was completely enraged by these words. She grabbed a knife, rushed forward, and slashed at the head.

Yan Dong was already severely injured and could not use even a tenth of his full strength, let alone the fact that he was facing another Golden Core expert.

The cleaver cut into his left shoulder, but didn't reach his chest. Yan Dong didn't even have time to scream before he fell to the ground with his eyes wide open.

Zhou Ke'er was still not satisfied, so she slashed him dozens of times before she was finally calmed down.

"You did a good job," Ye Chen praised, already imagining how Grand Tutor Yan would react to seeing his grandson chopped into mincemeat.

"Master, this is the secret technique that can control people's minds."

Zhou Ke'er approached Ye Chen and handed him a dark red bead with utmost respect.

Fearing the woman was playing a trick, Ye Chen carefully probed the bead with his divine sense and finally confirmed that it was indeed harmless, just an ordinary bead for storing information.

He immersed his divine sense into it and immediately obtained the mind control secret technique that Zhou Ke'er had mentioned.

In the world of ancient martial arts, the Black Fiend Sect may not be the most powerful in terms of absolute strength, but its evil secret techniques have reached their pinnacle.

Take Zhou Ke'er's mind control technique, for example. Once it is used, it will leave a mark on a person's soul, making them completely subservient. If they have even the slightest thought of betraying their master, their soul will be torn apart and they will suffer unbearable pain.

Seeing the smile on Ye Chen's lips, Zhou Ke'er felt a sense of relief. He probably hadn't realized that this secret technique had a backdoor.

It will take Ye Chen at least a month to learn this secret technique, and during this time she can use another secret technique to plant another awakening mark in the soul.

As long as she is out of Ye Chen's sight, the awakening mark will be automatically triggered, helping her regain her senses.

She vowed that if she could return to the Black Fiend Sect, she would mobilize all the Golden Core experts within the sect to annihilate the Ye family and wipe out the shame of today.

However, just as she was pondering this matter, she heard Ye Chen above her chuckle and say, "Come on, relax your mind and don't resist."

"what?"

Zhou Ke'er was stunned. She looked up at him blankly and stammered, "Master, could it be...you've already mastered this secret technique?"

"Yeah, is it hard to learn?" Ye Chen asked, puzzled.

"No...it's not hard to learn."

Zhou Ke'er forced a smile that looked more like a grimace, her heart filled with utter shock. "Is this the number one prodigy of Great Xia? What others need a month to learn, he can master in a single glance?"

"Alright, enough nonsense, hurry up, or I'll slap you to death." Seeing her standing there, seemingly lost in thought, Ye Chen said impatiently.

"it is good."

Zhou Ke'er sighed softly and resigned herself to her fate.

Fortunately, she had another trick up her sleeve. This secret technique had a time limit and would expire after a year, at which point she would regain her freedom.

Unfortunately, she couldn't have imagined that by then she would have been completely conquered by Ye Chen, and that becoming Ye Chen's servant would be the greatest honor of her life. But that's a story for another time.

"Mmm."

Ye Chen placed his hand on her forehead and activated a secret technique. Zhou Ke'er let out a soft hum, her tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed, a fleeting look of confusion crossed her eyes, and then all that remained in her gaze as she looked at Ye Chen was loyalty.

"Greetings, Master. Please feel free to use me." Zhou Ke'er slowly rose and bowed to him.

At this moment, Ye Chen could also feel that a clear connection had been established between him and Zhou Ke'er. He knew exactly what Zhou Ke'er was thinking and could take her life at any time if he wanted to.

"Hehe, let's test the sharpness of this knife first." Ye Chen pointed to the courtyard and said to her, "Take care of these people."

"Yes, Master!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhou Ke'er reached out and summoned a knife, then charged into Ji Xian's group and began to slaughter them.

"Young Master Ye, I was wrong, I was wrong, please forgive me... Ah!"

"You son of a bitch, Ji Xian! You've ruined the Ji family!"

Amidst the cries and insults of the crowd, Zhou Ke'er swiftly and decisively slaughtered the Ji family members who had harmed the Ye family, as well as the affiliated families who had aided and abetted the evildoers.

After killing them, Zhou Ke'er returned to Ye Chen's side with a hint of flattery, "Master, I have killed them all."

"Hmm, well done." Ye Chen said, taking out a pill. "Take this Rejuvenation Pill first. After you recover from your injuries, go back to the Black Fiend Sect. After that, secretly investigate which families in the ancient martial arts world have ever attacked the Ye family, and then find an opportunity to give me the list."

The following sentence was an order Ye Chen gave her directly through their soul connection.

This command would be deeply imprinted in his soul, becoming the only thought in his mind thereafter.

"Hehe, Grand Tutor Yan, Black Fiend Sect Master, and those scum from the Ye Annihilation Alliance, since you dare to attack the Ye family, don't blame me for retaliating in kind." Ye Chen revealed a wicked smile.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Zhou Ke'er respectfully agreed, then immediately took the Rejuvenation Pill and sat down to heal her injuries.

In no time, all her injuries were gone. Without lingering, she got up and left.

"Boom!"

A thunderclap boomed, but it wasn't the Nine Heavens Thunder-Summoning Array activating; rather, the sky actually thundered. A few seconds later, a torrential downpour poured down, washing away the blood-soaked ground.

Ye Chen looked at Ji Ming and said, "Uncle Ming, I'll leave the rest of this to you. I have other important matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."

"Young Master Ye, you can go with peace of mind. With me here, Dongzhou can't be turned upside down. I'll release the news soon, and the Ji family will be back among Ye Chen's affiliated families."

"Alright, our enemy is very powerful. If you can't defeat them, don't force it. You can run away or ask me for help."

Ye Chen gave a sincere word of advice, then strode out of the courtyard. Zhao Ya hurriedly followed.

Ji Qingxue hurriedly shouted, "Brother Chen, wait for me! I'll go with you!"

Seeing that their daughter couldn't stay still for a moment, Ji Ming and his wife exchanged a glance. Their smiles contained a hint of helplessness at the thought of their daughter growing up and leaving home, but more than anything, they were overjoyed. If their daughter could marry Ye Chen, it would truly be a stroke of good fortune for the Ji family.

Xu family.

Upon seeing Ye Chen return, the entire Xu family went out to greet him.

Xu Nan was hiding in the crowd, worried about Ye Chen's safety, but also afraid that rushing up to check on him would make her look bad. Just as she was hesitating, she suddenly saw two women with Ye Chen, one of whom turned out to be her fake best friend!

"Zhao Ya, what are you doing here?" Xu Nan exclaimed in surprise.
