Chapter 716: Chapter 716: Easily Deal With It
"Wait a minute! Isn’t that the woman the Young Miss ordered to be captured and taken to the back mountain?"
The person Uncle Wang saw was none other than Xiao Xiao. At that moment, she was watching everything unfold with smug satisfaction.
"A mere Zheng Family dares to kidnap our Young Master? Today, you’ll learn who you can afford to provoke and who you can’t!"
After confirming it was Xiao Xiao, Uncle Wang looked one last time before swiftly retreating.
"Uncle Wang, what’s happening? We can barely hold on over there! Why are you back?" Zheng Xiao cried out, growing anxious as she watched the battle worsen.
Uncle Wang looked at his own Young Master and Young Miss, no longer able to care about anything else.
"Young Miss, this is bad! It seems these Monster Beasts are all being controlled by someone," Uncle Wang said gravely.
Zheng Xiao was incredulous. "Uncle Wang, what are you talking about? The Monster Beasts are being controlled? How is that possible! You’re so powerful, you shouldn’t be scared silly by a few Monster Beasts!"
However, Zheng Xiao’s father approached Uncle Wang with a serious expression. "Uncle Wang, tell us quickly what you saw."
Uncle Wang dared not delay. "When the Young Miss captured Ye Qingchen, there was that girl with him. The Young Miss ordered her to be thrown onto the back mountain. We assumed a Monster Beast had eaten her, so when the men who captured him returned saying something was amiss, we didn’t pay it any mind."
Zheng Xiao quickly stepped forward. "Uncle Wang, are you saying that little girl is controlling all these Monster Beasts? That’s impossible! She looked younger than me. Her cultivation might be a little higher than mine, but there’s no way she could stir up such a massive commotion."
Even Zheng Ming found it hard to believe.
"That’s right, Uncle Wang. There are so many Monster Beasts over there. Are you sure you weren’t mistaken?"
Seeing that neither of them believed him, Uncle Wang grew frantic. "No, Young Master, Young Miss! I clearly saw that girl standing in the back, commanding those Monster Beasts!"
However, the two of them just sighed and shook their heads.
"Father, Uncle Wang suffered quite a few injuries fighting Ye Qingchen earlier," Zheng Xiao said. "Now that so many beasts have appeared at once, I’m afraid his body can’t take the strain."
Zheng Ming gave Uncle Wang a look of understanding. "Uncle Wang, don’t go back over there. Judging by the time, the people from the Xue Family should be arriving soon. Let’s just wait for them here."
This Uncle Wang was exceptionally loyal to their family. They would need him to protect their daughter in the future.
Seeing that they still refused to believe him, Uncle Wang stood rooted to the spot, anxiously scratching his head, utterly helpless.
"Forget it, forget it. I just hope the Xue Family sends someone soon."
「Meanwhile」
Ye Qingchen had successfully reached the depths of the back mountain. Following the directions from Butler Liu, he quickly found a huge cave. His journey had been completely unobstructed. He hadn’t encountered anything terrifying at all, not even anything remotely aggressive. He couldn’t help but wonder if those people had been joking with him.
Who cares if they were joking? I’m already here. That cave up ahead must be the place, so the Ginseng Fruit should be inside.
Looking at the enormous cave entrance, Ye Qingchen stepped inside without hesitation.
The interior of the cave was vast. The deeper he went, the higher the ceiling became. When he reached the end, the space suddenly opened up before him. The area was as large as a dozen football fields, with a ceiling several stories high. Ye Qingchen stood there and looked around, completely astonished.
In a place this huge, where would the Ginseng Fruit be growing?
He hadn’t sensed any danger from the cave entrance, which was why he had walked right in. But just as he was about to search for the Ginseng Fruit, the cave began to shake violently. It felt as if something was walking out from the deepest part of the cavern.
Ye Qingchen immediately grew vigilant.
"ROAR!"
The next second, a Monster Beast appeared. It was much larger than Ye Qingchen and incredibly ugly. If Xiao Xiao were here, she would have recognized it instantly—it was a miniaturized version of the Demon Beast King she was controlling! But right now, Xiao Xiao was commanding that Demon Beast King against the Zheng Family.
Ye Qingchen frowned at the hideous Monster Beast before him.
This thing is already at the third level of the Martial Emperor Realm! Wow, that’s impressive!
After discerning the creature’s strength, Ye Qingchen finally relaxed. A third-level Martial Emperor Realm beast was something he could still handle with ease.
However, he now truly suspected those people had been lying to him. They had claimed that the creature living in this cave was the Demon Beast King of the entire back mountain, a monster that no one in the city could defeat. Yet, this so-called Demon Beast King was merely at the third level of the Martial Emperor Realm. Were they just trying to scare him?
No, that’s not quite right. Those people were very weak themselves. To them, a third-level Martial Emperor Realm beast would seem incredibly formidable. That must be it.
"ROAR!"
Seeing Ye Qingchen remain motionless, the ugly creature on the other side roared in anger.
Ye Qingchen’s brow furrowed. He had no intention of dragging this out. "Ugly thing, it’s just your bad luck that you ran into me."
With a cold snort, he roused the wood element throughout the entire cave.
The Ugly Monster let out a defiant roar, its eyes flashing with ferocity and rage. Beams of black energy burst from its mouth, shooting directly at Ye Qingchen!
"Go!"
Ye Qingchen slapped his palm on the ground, causing countless fissures to spiderweb across the floor. The beams of black energy all slammed into his body but rebounded off his defenses.
With a cold laugh, Ye Qingchen summoned a Longsword into his hand. He set his sights firmly on the Ugly Monster. Seeing this, the beast let out a sky-shaking roar that made the entire cave tremble.
RUMBLE, RUMBLE...
A terrifying aura exploded from the Ugly Monster, making Ye Qingchen’s heart skip a beat. Not daring to hesitate, he hastily retreated several steps.
BOOM! BOOM!
The Ugly Monster let out a deafening series of roars. Ye Qingchen quickly manipulated the surrounding wood element, and countless vines converged on the beast. As if they had eyes of their own, the vines instantly bound the Ugly Monster.
The Ugly Monster struggled desperately, but it could not escape the vines’ grasp.
Seizing the opportunity, Ye Qingchen rushed forward, thrusting his Longsword toward the beast’s abdomen.
THUNK!
However, his strike failed to harm the Ugly Monster. Instead, it only enraged the beast further. It began to twist its body wildly, trying to break free from its bindings.
Seeing this, a slight smile touched Ye Qingchen’s lips. He swiftly used his will to manipulate the surrounding wood element, intending to halt the Ugly Monster’s struggles.
