"You! What are you doing? Let me go now! If not, the crown prince will kill you!" The male disciple shouted with horror as Ye Chen pierced golden needles on his body.

After which he did the same with Lou Ya and Feng Yue, completely immobilizing them.

"Su Ying, do you know which power those three and the new arrivals like him belong to?" Ye Chen inquired, pointing at the half-split male disciple who held the black dagger as well as the disciple who was coming to be sent by the crown prince.

"Those three are from the second-grade Mirage Sect, and I don’t know whether it’s a coincidence or not, but they are closely linked with the first-grade Flame Dragon Sect. As for the new arrivals, they are from different powers, but most of them are lackeys of the Mu family and the crown prince," Su Ying explained immediately.

"Humph! Now you believe I was sent by the crown prince! You better let go of me now; if not, the consequence you face will be dire!" The male disciple shouted with a cold look.

With the life-saving inscription on him, no one here can kill him, so his fear of Ye Chen decreased.

"Do you think I am an idiot? If the crown prince wanted to kill me, he would do it in silence; moreover, he would definitely send someone who would not open their mouth like you."

"Which means you are sent by someone who wants the crown prince to have no relationship with me or even want me to kill him. If my guess is not wrong, it is definitely some other prince pulling tricks from the dark, right?" Ye Chen said with a disdainful look.

While hearing him, the male disciple snorted coldly.

"Believe what you want, but you better release me; if not, hehe," he laughed with a sinister glint.

It was at this moment Li Mei came beside Ye Chen, holding the black dagger in her hand.

"Senior brother, I think there is a powerful poison on this dagger. Why don’t you use this to kill him?" She suggested with an innocent look.

Bang!

Suddenly a fist landed on her head.

"Ouch! Why did you hit me?" she asked with tears.

"This is not a dagger with poison but a dagger with a curse. If not for this, I would have already used it." Ye Chen rolled his eyes at her and threw the dagger away.

It was a tier-5 weapon, but he didn’t care since even keeping it close might have dangerous side effects. The male disciple who was holding it probably didn’t know about this; if not, he would stay as far as he could because once the curse is active, all of his life will be drained to cast a lethal blow.

"A cursed weapon! Aren’t those made by fallen sects?" Su Ying exclaimed with an ugly look.

Even Lou Ya, Feng Yue, and the male disciple’s expression changed at this.

The fallen sects were those who didn’t follow the path of righteousness and neither the heretical. They will do whatever they deem right, sometimes killing heretical cultivators and sometimes righteous.

However, this was not the main problem with them; the real fault lay in their curse techniques. Although the heretical path also had curse techniques, they were unable to forge cursed items like them.

Furthermore, the cultivation path of the fallen sect was different, giving them an enormous advantage in curse techniques. They even changed the weather in certain regions, caused plagues to happen, and many such disasters.

In the end, they were wiped out by both righteous and heretical paths. It had been thousands of years since then, but still the terror of what they did existed.

There were even some serious laws stating that if any items related to the fallen sect are found, they must be handed over for destruction; if not, they will be considered a felon.

Even the heretical sects have passed such laws because who knows if one day the weather is going to change or if a plague is going to happen because of it.

Everyone who knew how serious the cursed weapon was would never keep them close; even the top powers who coveted it secretly didn’t dare to keep it and destroyed it if any of such weapons were found.

So now, seeing a cursed weapon appearing in front of her, Su Ying and the three were shocked.

Of course, Wang Yiyi was also the same. As for the exception, they were none other than Ye Chen and Li Mei.

"Yes, this cursed dagger is forged by a fallen sect; furthermore, it’s only a few months old," Ye Chen said with a nonchalant look, and after that, he patted Li Mei’s head.

"Next time don’t touch anything that is dangerous," he warned with a stern look.

While hearing him, Li Mei nodded with a pout and pushed his hand away with a blush.

Watching their flirting, Su Ying and others couldn’t help but stiffen a little.

After all, they are standing between more than forty corpses, half of them split vertically and everything coming out. Who would act like them here?

Well, even Li Mei wouldn’t do such a thing, but she had utilized her supreme yin physique a while ago, which boosted her state of mind, making it easy to adapt for now. Hence why she was so fearless.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Suddenly more than thirty disciples arrived from the forest.

"Hah, brother, thank God you are alr—" Li Zhenyuan’s voice stiffened midway as he witnessed the half-split bodies in front of him.

Not only he but everyone else who arrived also stiffened.

"Why are you so late? Weren’t you just lurking near even though I instructed you to go ahead?" Su Ying inquired with a frown.

"Ha-ha, well, who knows that I was famous throughout the whole continent and my admirers just couldn’t help but come to see me? In the end, I had to fight with them to get here," Lu Zhenyuan replied with a bitter laugh.

While hearing him, Su Ying rolled her eyes at him and gave Ye Chen a look.

Even Li Mei and Wang Yiyi did the same, wondering if these two were some twins who had been separated.

"Miss Su, we were stopped by disciples from the Mu family," the person leading the disciples of the Su family spoke.

After him, the leading disciple of the BlueMoon pavilion also recounted why they were late. Everyone was stopped by someone from the Mu family, some unknown sects, and also sects that had some relationship with the crown prince.

If not for this, they would’ve been here long ago.

Hearing this, Ye Chen’s eyes couldn’t help but flash coldly.

He didn’t want to get into the mess of a fight between princes, but since they were dragging him, he would let them know they had picked up a fight with the wrong person.

"Give me the list of people who escaped; it would be even better if you have captured their faces in photographic jade," Ye Chen spoke.

Since the old guys knew there would be people killing him, they all have given such jades to everyone. This will not get Ye Chen in trouble if he kills them; moreover, he could show the contents inside it and force others to kill the disciples who had escaped.

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

Everyone understood this, so they didn’t think too much and handed the photographic jade to him. They had multiple on them, so there was no problem in giving one to him.

"Senior brother, what about these three? Are we going to spare them?" Li Mei inquired, pointing at three who were now pale with fear.

With everything captured inside the photographic jade, it would be very hard for them to avoid death. Even if Ye Chen couldn’t kill them now, the Su family would hold them as criminals and take this matter to royal court officials.

With the pressure from the Su family, the Buddhist Temple, and the BlueMoon Pavilion, there was no way they could live; maybe even before this happened, their elders would kill them.

Thinking of this, their expressions became filled with terror and regret.

"Y-Ye Chen, leave me alive; I can do anything! I will even be your housemaid."

"Y-yes, me too! I will even clean everything and warm your bed every day."

Both Lou Ya and Feng Yue spoke.

Who in this world wanted to die? No one!

However, Ye Chen didn’t display any compassion or pity towards them.

"The moment you went against me, your fate was sealed," he stated with a cold look and approached the male disciple.

"Humph! Do whatever you want! I will not beg!" The male disciple snorted coldly. He was calmer than the other two because he still felt there might be a chance for him to escape, especially with the person behind him.

Ye Chen guessed his thoughts and chuckled faintly.

"You are hoping that someone will save you two weeks later, right? But let me crush such daydreams since I am going to kill you right here and right now!" He said with a soft smile filled with intense killing intent.
