A ruthless bandit from the celestial realm, he began his cultivation journey after kidnapping the Em

"Clatter!"

"Clatter!"

Ye Chen walked step by step towards the several seriously injured merchants...

Seeing this, Lin Wanli and Lin Ningxue immediately followed.

Lin Wanli still held a sword in his hand, its cold gleam reflecting the moonlight, looking utterly chilling...

"Gurgle!"

Upon seeing this, the fallen vendors visibly panicked...

They pushed off the ground with both feet, desperately trying to back away...

"You...you guys, don't come any closer..."

"We're all from the same sect, let's talk this out, don't resort to violence..."

"I...we admit defeat, okay? Please stop fighting..."

"Don't kill me, I don't want to die..."

......

The men hurriedly begged for mercy, terrified; their legs were so weak they could barely move...

"Senior brothers, I was too loud earlier, may I apologize?" the red-faced masked man in the lead said in a terrified expression.

As Ye Chen and the others drew closer, he had no choice but to back down...

If you don't back down now, you might not even be able to save your life.

In the dead of night, in the desolate wilderness, far from the nearby valley, it was unlikely that any disciples would pass by...

If someone were to kill you and dump you in a dense forest, you might not be discovered for three to five days. Your death would be meaningless...

They hurriedly removed their masks, trying to become recognized...

After all, they are all outer disciples of the Qingyun Sect, and they might even know each other.

"That's not what you said when you blocked our way earlier..."

Ye Chen stopped and looked at the vendors in front of him with a cold smile.

"this..."

The group's expressions changed slightly, and they looked somewhat embarrassed. When they met Ye Chen's gaze, they felt a chill run down their spines, almost to the point of tears...

"Senior brother, it's our fault. I promise I won't do it again..."

"We were just angry and wanted to take the spirit stones back; we absolutely had no intention of harming our senior brother's life..."

"Please forgive us this time, senior brother, for the sake of us being fellow disciples..."

......

They cried out and begged for mercy, their eyes darting between Ye Chen and Lin Wanli. Faced with Lin Wanli's oppressive presence, they trembled with fear...

Seeing this, Ye Chen narrowed his eyes, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth beneath the mask...

"I'll spare you, but... you should at least show some appreciation, shouldn't you?"

Upon hearing this, the merchants were taken aback, instantly understanding Ye Chen's meaning...

This is an attempt to take advantage of someone's misfortune...

The group hesitated. This was their entire fortune; handing it over would leave them owing a considerable amount of spirit stones to their acquaintances...

Seeing that they hesitated for a few seconds, Ye Chen immediately put on a stern face and waved his hand.

"Old Lin..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Wanli, who was standing to the side, swung his sword without hesitation, and a burst of sword energy suddenly erupted...

"Don't..."

"etc!"

"Senior brother, please don't do it, I understand..."

......

Seeing that Lin Wanli was about to make a move, the merchants who had been hesitating just a moment ago were suddenly terrified and hurriedly shouted loudly.

I'm terrified that if I'm even a second too slow, my head will be blown off...

They looked at Lin Wanli as if he were a naive fool, doing whatever Ye Chen said, but if it came to a real fight, he might actually kill someone...

Who would dare gamble with their life like that?

The group hurriedly took out all the spirit-replenishing pills they had and placed them in front of each other...

"Senior brother, these are all spirit-replenishing pills we just bought from you. We haven't sold a single one..."

"We're giving it all back to you now, please let us go..."

"We were blind to your greatness, senior brother, please spare us!"

......

The vendors looked at Ye Chen with sincere expressions and begged for mercy.

As for the spirit stones used to purchase these spirit-replenishing pills, they naturally dared not ask Ye Chen for them; at this moment, they could only accept their bad luck...

Seeing this, Ye Chen did not step forward to collect the pills. Instead, he glanced at them and raised an eyebrow.

"this one?"

"Looks like your lives aren't worth much either..."

After saying that, he glanced at Lin Wanli beside him...

Understanding Ye Chen's intention, Lin Wanli's expression darkened, and he made a move to draw his sword...

A sharp sword aura rushed towards me...

"Gurgle!"

The vendors turned pale with fright, hurriedly waved their hands, and cried out loudly.

"No...don't do it!"

"Senior brother, spare me..."

"And... I also have some medicinal pills to offer to my senior brother..."

"Wait a minute, my life is valuable..."

......

The group hurriedly took out all the spirit-replenishing pills they had been selling and obediently placed them in front of them. Although it pained them, they had no choice but to do so in order to survive...

Who told them to be less skilled?

At this moment, they were all deeply regretting coming to cause trouble for Ye Chen and his group; otherwise, they wouldn't have been beaten up...

Seeing that these merchants had taken out all the Spirit-Replenishing Pills they had on them, there were at least several hundred of them.

In this round trip, Ye Chen not only earned spirit stones, but also gained several hundred spirit-replenishing pills...

Seeing this, Lin Wanli turned to look at Ye Chen and his gaze changed...

So that's what my senior brother meant by driving down the price of the Spirit Replenishing Pill; it doesn't necessarily mean we have to destroy the entire market...

Ye Chen didn't even glance at the spirit-replenishing pills on the ground. His gaze remained fixed on the merchants in front of him, and he remained silent, making them uneasy and extremely flustered...

"Senior brother... what... what do you mean by this?"

"All the Spirit Replenishing Pills I had are really here, not a single one left..."

"Senior brother, please don't look at me like that, I'm scared..."

"Senior brother, spare me! I really only have these few spirit-replenishing pills left, I'm not lying to you..."

......

The vendors spoke timidly, almost in tears...

Especially with Lin Wanli standing to the side, his long sword raised as if ready to strike at any moment, they were filled with dread and a chill ran down their spines...

It felt like my head could be chopped off at any moment...

Who wouldn't be scared?

Ye Chen remained silent, his gaze fixed intently on them, a meaningful, cold light flashing beneath his mask, as if he were waiting for something...

"this..."

Lin Ningxue, who was standing to the side, also didn't understand what Ye Chen was doing.

The other party has already handed over all the Spirit Replenishing Pills, so why don't you take them?

Does Senior Brother want these people to personally offer the pills?

Lin Ningxue hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to help Ye Chen retrieve the Spirit-Replenishing Pills...

Although this place is a bit remote, it wouldn't be good if other disciples passed by.

"Gurgle!"

The red-faced masked man at the head of the group paused for a few seconds, seemingly understanding Ye Chen's meaning. Hesitantly, he reached into his robes and took out his storage bag, placing it alongside the spirit-replenishing pills in front of him...

Seeing this, the other merchants were momentarily taken aback, but then they all followed suit and took out their storage bags to hand over...

All eyes turned to Ye Chen, curious whether that was really what he meant...
