Invincible Soul Emperor

Chapter 730: Chapter 730 Barbaric Red Armor

"Hahaha! Honey, you’re brilliant! This idea is absolutely perfect!" Zheng Ming looked at his wife excitedly.

His wife said with pride, "When it comes to critical moments, you have to rely on me! Our family can’t just suffer such a loss for nothing! And Zheng Xiao certainly can’t have taken that beating for nothing!"

"Don’t worry, my dear! I’ll have my men spread this news right away. By the way, have you found someone to deal with Ye Qingchen?"

"Hah, rest assured. When have I ever done a careless job?"

Meanwhile, Ye Qingchen didn’t go straight back to his residence. Instead, he went to find Xue Feng.

"Brother Xue, do you have a moment?"

Xue Feng was in his room and hurried out when he saw Ye Qingchen at the door.

"Brother Ye, what brings you here?" Xue Feng got straight to the point.

"Yes. The reason I stopped you earlier was because I had something to discuss with the Xue Family. Now that you’re here, I might as well ask you in advance," Ye Qingchen said, his gaze sincere.

Xue Feng had no objections and sat down with him.

"Let’s hear it."

"Do you know about the Buddha’s Relic inside the First Mystic Realm?" asked Ye Qingchen.

Xue Feng nodded. "Yes, that relic does exist. But over the years, no one has ever obtained it. It’s extremely difficult to get your hands on."

Ye Qingchen continued, "Has your family ever obtained it before?"

"Of course. I remember a group of the Xue Family’s strongest members was organized to go to the Mystic Realm, and they stumbled upon it by chance," Xue Feng recalled without hesitation.

Ye Qingchen frowned. If that’s true, the Xue Family will probably refuse my request.

"Brother Ye, are you saying you want our family to find this Buddha’s Relic?" Xue Feng seemed to realize something and looked quickly at Ye Qingchen.

Ye Qingchen smiled and nodded. "I won’t hide it from you. I’ve suffered an injury and need the Buddha’s Relic to heal. That’s why we came to the Western Region, though we’ve been delayed here in the outer city."

Xue Feng’s brow furrowed, and he looked at Ye Qingchen and shook his head.

"Brother Ye, I can bring this up when I get back, but don’t get your hopes up. After all, this relic isn’t something that can be found easily."

Ye Qingchen had anticipated this kind of refusal, but he was still grateful that Xue Feng was willing to speak on his behalf.

"By the way, Brother Ye, once I’ve resolved matters here, you should come back to the inner city with me. Perhaps you can find another solution there. The inner city has many famous physicians. You might be able to find a substitute for the Buddha’s Relic from them," Xue Feng suggested.

Ye Qingchen nodded, "Thank you, Brother Xue!"

"Haha, don’t be so formal with me."

When Ye Qingchen returned from Xue Feng’s place, Xiao Xiao had already been waiting at their residence for a long time.

"Young Master, Young Master, you’re finally back! The people from the Zheng Family didn’t trouble you, did they?"

After returning with Ye Qingchen, Xiao Xiao felt utterly exhausted. She had gone straight to their residence, collapsed onto her bed, and fallen asleep, which was why she hadn’t accompanied him to the Zheng Family’s estate.

Ye Qingchen shook his head. "Haha, silly girl, don’t worry. With the Xue Family around, the Zheng Family wouldn’t dare act rashly. By the way, I have a gift for you."

Ye Qingchen took out the soft armor he had just received from Zheng Ming.

"This soft armor is called the Barbaric Red Armor. It’s incredibly powerful. Wearing it is like having an extra life, and many people who want one can never find it."

Ye Qingchen handed the armor to Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao’s eyes widened with surprise. "Young Master, why are you giving me something so valuable? You should wear it! Your life is far more important than mine!"

Ye Qingchen quickly said, "Xiao Xiao, are you daring to disobey your Young Master’s orders now?"

Xiao Xiao immediately waved her hands. "Young Master, that’s not what I meant, I just..."

"Alright, alright, just take it. Besides, your Young Master is so formidable, do I really need this armor? Are you trying to mock my strength by making me wear it?" Ye Qingchen joked.

Seeing how serious her Young Master was, Xiao Xiao was deeply touched.

"Alright, Young Master, I’ll accept it for now."

"By the way, Xiao Xiao, how did you get out of the back mountain and end up in that place?" Ye Qingchen suddenly asked. Back at the Zheng Family’s estate, Xue Feng mentioned Demonic Qi. I can’t help but worry... did it harm Xiao Xiao? That girl is so stubborn; she’d never tell me even if she was hurt.

At his question, Xiao Xiao tried her best to recall what had happened.

She thought for a long time, but all she could recall was wanting to challenge a Monster Beast. After that, her memory was a blank. The next thing she knew, she was at the battlefield.

"Young Master, while I was running, I didn’t encounter any trouble. Then I got lost and somehow ended up there."

That was all Xiao Xiao could remember, despite trying hard to piece everything together.

Ye Qingchen nodded. "That’s good, that’s good. The Monster Beasts had probably all gone to attack the Zheng Family, so they didn’t harm you."

Since that’s what Xiao Xiao said, Ye Qingchen naturally put the matter out of his mind.

Xiao Xiao nodded at Ye Qingchen with a smile.

"Alright, Xiao Xiao, we should rest. Once Xue Feng has dealt with the issues here, we’ll head to the inner city with him!"

As evening fell, they both returned to their rooms to rest.

However, Ye Qingchen had no sooner closed his eyes than he heard a series of noises in the dark coming not from elsewhere, but from directly above him—on the rooftop.

What’s going on?

Ye Qingchen could feel several auras sweeping over his roof. He frowned and sat up.

Outside, several low voices arose.

"Boss, is it the guy inside this room?"

"Yes, it’s him. He has quite a few treasures on him. If we can take him down this time, we’ll hit the jackpot!"

"I heard he has the Barbaric Red Armor! Everyone’s fighting over that thing! If we take this guy down, the Barbaric Red Armor will be ours!"

"Well then, what are we waiting for? Get him!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the door to Ye Qingchen’s room was violently kicked open.

Ye Qingchen sat on the edge of his bed, his eyes open, watching the intruders.

"Who are you people?" Ye Qingchen asked coldly.

"It doesn’t matter who we are! What’s important is that today, you’re going to die without a burial place! Brothers, enough talk! Get him! Whoever kills him first gets a bigger share!"
