Chapter 478: Protection Formation
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The middle-aged law enforcement officer was stunned.
He had seen Li Yuncheng a few times. The other party was a man of few words, and would not say much, even in official meetings.
Despite this, Li Yuncheng had actually spoken up for this kid, and even threatened the police force!
F*ck!
He looked at Ye Chen and realized that something was wrong.
As far as he knew, it was his superior’s order to arrest Ye Chen. However, Li Yuncheng was the one who had appointed his superior!
How the f*ck was he supposed to figure this out?
He realized that the matter was a little serious. Thus, he no longer hesitated and quickly said, “Mr. Li, I didn’t do my job properly. I’ll have everyone leave now. As for the case that Mr. Ye is involved in, I’ll definitely study it carefully when I return. As a friend of the Li family, Mr. Ye naturally wouldn’t do such a thing!”
“Mr. Ye, you have my apologies for my carelessness.”
Then, he looked at everyone and made a gesture. In the blink of an eye, they completely dispersed, and the hotel regained its peace and calm.
All of this happened so quickly, but to everyone’s surprise, it also ended so quickly. The authority and influence of the Li family in Xiangjiang City could not be doubted!
The businessmen at the hotel lobby glanced at Ye Chen and tried their best to memorize his face. Anyone who could make the Li family speak out on their behalf was definitely extraordinary.
Ye Chen did not show any reaction from the beginning to the end. However, he was a little surprised that the Li family would make a move. After all, it was an expert from the Li family who had attacked Xiangjiang’s Dark Hall branch before this.
Logically speaking, he and the Li family should be enemies. Why were they treating him like this?
Li Yuncheng’s lips curled into a warm smile as he extended his hand to Ye Chen and said, “Mr. Ye, I haven’t had time to introduce myself. My name is Li Yuncheng. It’s my fault that you were shocked by your first experience in Xiangjiang.”
He remembered his father’s words from last night, which were to spare no effort to win Ye Chen over!
At the very least, Ye Chen was too important to their plan.
Li Yuncheng saw that Ye Chen did not say anything, so he glanced at Wei Ying and said, “Mr. Ye should be heading out. I happen to be free today, so why don’t I have my driver to send you around?”
“There’s no need for that.”
Ye Chen replied and headed out of the hotel.
In his opinion, the Li family was not altruistic. There was definitely something wrong with them showing such goodwill.
Li Yuncheng knew that Ye Chen was a strong fighter and had a proud heart, so he asked, “Mr. Ye, are you going to Jiang Dao Mountain this time?”
“If Mr. Ye wants to go to Jiang Dao Mountain, I can help. The roundtable meeting of the guardians will start tomorrow, so Jiang Dao Mountain’s protective array was activated last night. If Mr. Ye wants to go there today, your trip will be wasted. However, the Li family has a way to bring Mr. Ye up the mountain.”
Li Yuncheng had thought that his words would convince Ye Chen, but he was wrong.
Ye Chen acted as if he did not hear what she said. He hailed a taxi and headed off unceremoniously.
Li Yuncheng’s expression was a little ugly. He knew very well that the taxi was heading in the direction of Jiang Dao Mountain.
The other party did not seem to care about him at all. He even felt an inexplicable sense of defeat.
With his identity and status, everyone had to raise their heads and speak to him respectfully. However, this was not the case for Ye Chen.
He sighed and took out his phone to call his father.
“Dad, Ye Chen rejected me and went to Jiang Dao Mountain.”
There was no reply from the other side for a while, but then an aged voice said, “Follow him and take a look. If Ye Chen needs anything, just help him. As for the invitation, don’t mention it for the time being.”
Jiang Dao Mountain.
A taxi slowly stopped, and Ye Chen and Wei Ying got out of the car. While they were in the car, the driver reminded them many times that they could only look at Jiang Dao Mountain from a distance, and emphasized repeatedly that they were not allowed to go up the mountain!
Upon arriving at the foot of the mountain, Ye Chen could feel countless streams of spiritual energy flowing toward Jiang Dao Mountain.
The black stone in his pocket was also vibrating strangely.
Jiang Dao Mountain was heavily guarded, and there were tall walls that blocked the paths up.
When Ye Chen appeared, a few unfriendly gazes shot over.
However, when these people received a phone call, their unfriendly gazes disappeared.
“Let’s go.”
Ye Chen had already noticed Lee Yuncheng standing not far behind him. It was obvious that the Li family must have contacted these people.
He did not care about the Li family’s actions, and he did not feel like he owed the Li family anything.
The closer Ye Chen got to Jiang Dao Mountain, the more suffocating it felt.
Wei Ying’s expression was ugly.
“Ye Chen, I can’t walk anymore. I feel a little uncomfortable.”
“You rest here, I’ll go take a look.”
Ye Chen took a few steps forward. He could clearly feel that with every step he took, the magnetic field at the foot of the mountain changed.
When he took the sixth step, it was as if an invisible wall had formed in front of him, one that obstructed everything!
“Looks like this is Jiang Dao Mountain’s protective formation. This formation is a little strange. I’ve never seen it in the Kunlun Mountains or Huaxia,” Ye Chen muttered.
Then, the Dragonslayer Sword appeared in his hand. His true qi surged, and he unleashed an attack without hesitation!
“Bloodthirsty Slash!”
However, not only was the formation unscathed by the attack, but the rebound force knocked him back three steps!
“Ancient Spiritual Protection Formation!” Ye Chen almost exclaimed.
The rebound force was identical to his Bloodthirsty Slash, and it was three times stronger. If he had not limited the amount of power he had used just now, he would have been severely injured.
Why was this formation in this place?
If he had found this formation around some secret realms or protecting some sects in the Kunlun Mountains, it would be understandable.
However, this was Huaxia. At the very least, no one he knew in Huaxia had the qualifications to erect such a grand formation!
“You have a keen eye.”
While Ye Chen was in shock, two old men appeared behind him!
They were Bao Peimin and the other guardian he had met in the teahouse, Elder Wan!
Elder Wan glanced at Ye Chen and snorted coldly. “Kid, this formation can be ranked in the top ten in all of Huaxia. Do you think you can break it with just a sword strike?”
When Elder Wan saw Ye Chen, he was filled with anger. Ye Chen’s actions yesterday had undoubtedly embarrassed him in front of Bao Peimin!
Bao Peimin narrowed his eyes and went over to Ye Chen’s side. He said seriously, “This ancient spiritual formation has existed for far too long. As far as I know, it wasn’t on Jiang Dao Mountain originally, but a mighty expert somehow moved it here. If it was any other time, it might be possible for you to go up this mountain, but now, you can’t. The guardians’ roundtable meeting is about to begin, and the ancient spiritual formation has been activated.”
“Ye Chen, restrain yourself for the next two days. As for that matter, I’ll do my best to stop Fang Zhenye..”
