Chapter 398: Chapter 392: Do You Have a Daughter?
"Stand still!"
The moment these two words left his mouth, Ye Zhen’s figure lunged forward, and in an instant, several servants with only cultivation at the True Essence Realm were sent flying.
This was because Ye Zhen had intentionally held back; otherwise, just a light exertion of strength would have sufficed to end their lives right there on the spot.
Even so, they each let out earth-shattering screams. Ye Zhen had restrained himself to not take their lives, but his strikes were far from gentle.
"Miss, are you alright?" Ye Zhen removed the piece of silk that had been stuffed into the girl’s mouth.
The girl appeared to be about seventeen or eighteen years old with large eyes and a very delicate and lovely appearance, giving off the vibe of the girl next door.
Upon realizing she had been rescued, the girl immediately burst into tears, clearly terrified by the ordeal.
A wave of very calm and soothing Divine Soul Power quietly flowed into the girl’s forehead, gradually quieting her down. Just as Ye Zhen was about to inquire further, the four thugs got back on their feet.
"Sir, you must be one of the Seventy-two Meteors of Stars Tower, right?" The oldest of the thugs glanced at Ye Zhen before fixating on the token at Ye Zhen’s waist and asked.
That token allowed free entry into the Inner City of Star Luo City, and it also indicated Ye Zhen’s status within Stars Tower. It seemed that these four thugs were definitely related to Stars Tower.
Ye Zhen did not respond, only staring coldly at the thug.
To his surprise, the thug showed no trace of fear and instead seemed very confident.
"Let me be frank with you, Sir. The Seventy-two Meteors hold some status within Stars Tower, but in front of us, they’re nothing! I advise you, hand over the girl Banxia obediently, and consider yourself lucky to get out of this situation today."
"Or else, hmph!" the thug sneered.
"Don’t, please, save me, save me! Let me return to my father’s side, I must save my father, they’ve injured him, please!"
Before Ye Zhen could speak, the girl Banxia began imploring him for help, probably trusting Ye Zhen somewhat due to the soothing effect of the Divine Soul Power he had applied earlier.
"Hmph, Miss Banxia, you should realize that today it was just your father being injured. If you don’t comply, next time, we might go after your father’s life!"
That thug actually began to threaten the girl right in front of Ye Zhen.
Slap!
A slap as swift as lightning struck out, sending the thug flying again. When he got up, all his teeth were shattered, and he struggled to speak without whistling through the gaps.
"Boy, you’re enjoying hitting me now, but you’ll be crying later!" The thug said with a vicious shift in his demeanor as he got up again.
With a glance, one thug ran off, likely to call for backup. Ye Zhen did not stop him, knowing that such a brazen act of kidnapping a commoner’s daughter couldn’t have been the work of just four thugs.
Ye Zhen was curious to see who was backing these four thugs.
Seeing that someone had gone to fetch reinforcements, the thug’s arrogance soared.
"Hmph, kid, this is your last chance! If I tell you who my young master is, I guarantee you’ll be scared to death! Hand over ten thousand taels of silver as medicine fees, and consider yourself lucky."
A glint of greed flashed in the thug’s eyes, as he tried to extort Ye Zhen using the influence of his backers.
Just as Ye Zhen was about to reply, voices suddenly came from behind.
"Yan Fu, is the full set of your teeth worth ten thousand taels of silver?"
"What a joke, you think injuring one of Yan Shaqi’s men can be settled with just ten thousand taels of silver? Ten thousand Low Grade Spirit Crystals sounds more like it, along with three kowtows, of course."
A young man dressed in white with a Jade Crown and a small Jade Talisman fan in hand, accompanied by a gloomy-looking swordsman with a long sword on his back, stepped forward with a cold smile, followed by the thug who had earlier slipped away, now looking ferocious.
"I think three kowtows might not be enough. If you want to live, the grand ritual of three kneels and nine bows is the least you can do!" The grim swordsman suddenly laughed.
"Yan Shaqi? Is this girl someone you ordered these four thugs to kidnap?" Ye Zhen sharply questioned.
"What, you really want to meddle in this?"
"I’m courting her because I find her worthy! If I didn’t fancy her, even if she spread her legs wide open in front of me, I wouldn’t be interested!"
"If you don’t want to die, after three kneels and nine bows, toss down ten thousand Low Grade Spirit Crystals and get lost!" Yan Shaqi waved his hand impatiently.
"Seeking death!" Spiritual Power surged around Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen had no intention of wasting more words on Jing Shaoqi; he decided to deal with him first. In a flash, Ye Zhen charged at Yan Shaqi.
"There really are fools and daredevils in this world!" Seeing this, Yan Shaqi sneered, "Brother Cui, it’s up to you now!"
"Rest assured, Brother Shaqi, just a Second Stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, I’ll have him in hand in no time!"
In an instant, a whistling Sword Gang streaked across like a ribbon, transforming into a barrage of sword strikes, which furiously slashed towards Ye Zhen.
At the same time, Yan Shaqi waved his hand lightly and said, "Go, take this girl Banxia to my room!"
Apparently, Yan Shaqi wasn’t at all concerned about the possibility of Ye Zhen defeating him. Cui Yu, who had come with him, was not only a Fourth Stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm but also one of the Seventy-two Meteors, ranked thirty-first among them.
Boom!
The deafening sound of thunder erupted as a blinding Sword Light flashed by.
Ye Zhen and Cui Yu briefly clashed and separated, and a spray of blood burst forth from between them.
"Hmm?"
Yan Shaqi was first taken aback, then staggered backwards several steps as his gaze towards Ye Zhen immediately filled with wary.
With one move, Cui Yu, whom he had counted on as a strong backer at the Fourth Stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, was brought down by a single slash from Ye Zhen, and it was the kind that inflicted severe injuries.
A sharp intake of cold air hissed forth from Yan Shaqi’s mouth right away.
The ruffians who were just about to capture Banxia were so shocked by this scene that they all retreated in unison, their look towards Ye Zhen completely changed.
However, as they stood there dumbstruck, Ye Zhen’s figure did not stop.
Ye Zhen did not pursue Cui Yu but, like a shadow, pounced towards Yan Shaqi.
"Help!"
"Father, help me!"
Seeing Ye Zhen’s unwavering killing intent as he pounced towards him, Yan Shaqi was immediately terrified. Not even having the time to reveal his identity, his form panickedly retreated, and he started to desperately scream for help without any care.
"Help, father!"
The frantic voice of Yan Shaqi rang out like an alarm bell throughout the Inner City of Star Luo City, instantly shattering the peace. Numerous figures suddenly shot up into the sky.
"Ye Zhen, show mercy!" While the rapid calls echoed, several figures darted towards this spot like lightning.
Ye Zhen’s long sword in his hand, however, showed no sign of stopping.
Although Ye Zhen was still unaware of Yan Shaqi’s misdeeds, he knew for sure that this guy was no saint. Ye Zhen prepared to give Yan Shaqi a severe lesson.
Just as Ye Zhen was about to strike Yan Shaqi, Yan Shaqi suddenly crushed a jade talisman, and a guardian light screen flared out violently.
Whoosh!
The guardian light screen, in front of Ye Zhen’s Profound Yang Sword, was as if made of paper.
However, Yan Shaqi relentlessly crushed one protective jade talisman after another. In that brief moment, the martial artist who had just called out had already reached Ye Zhen, and a venomous dragon-like leg shadow lashed out at Ye Zhen like lightning.
"Ye Zhen, I already asked you to show mercy. Why do you still strike so viciously?" bellowed Yan Kun, Deputy Tower Master of Stars Tower.
"This your son, Deputy Tower Master Yan?"
As the leg shadow came at him, Ye Zhen did not dodge in the slightest. With a gentle tap of his index finger, a section of jade-like fingers met Yan Kun’s leg shadow head-on.
Crash!
The leg shadow immediately burst, and Yan Kun let out a stifled grunt. His surrounding Protective Spirit Force exploded violently, but he stood firmly on the spot.
"Ye Zhen, you actually laid hands on my son. Do you no longer recognize me as the Deputy Tower Master?"
"Hmph, I come and go freely within Stars Tower. Don’t use that title of Deputy Tower Master to oppress me!" Angered by Yan Kun’s unreasonable defense of his son, Ye Zhen retorted, "Yan Kun, do you even know the great things your son has done?"
"The great things he’s done? What could he have possibly done to make you, Ye Zhen, so furious?"
Yan Kun’s gaze fell on the shivering girl, Banxia, behind Ye Zhen, "How so? Is it just because he fancied a common girl? Such a girl can be bought by the dozens for a thousand taels of gold. Is she worth you, Ye Zhen, threatening my son’s life over this?"
Ye Zhen was immediately at a loss for words and thoroughly frustrated.
Indeed, like father, like son.
Ye Zhen finally understood the true reason behind the arrogance of those ruffians. It was not because of their young master Yan Shaqi but rather because of Yan Kun, the Deputy Tower Master of Stars Tower.
If Hai Luoshuang, the Stars Tower Master, was considered the City Lord in Star Luo City, then Yan Kun was the esteemed Deputy City Lord, second only to one and above ten thousand. It was hard for him not to be arrogant.
However, Yan Shaqi, standing behind Yan Kun, appeared somewhat dazed. His father, Yan Kun, had told him that this time the purpose was to benefit from Ye Zhen’s fortune, but he never expected that the young man before him was the legendary Ye Zhen himself.
But even knowing that he was facing Ye Zhen, Yan Shaqi became more audacious.
His father was the Deputy Tower Master of Stars Tower and an even more powerful figure at the Peak of the Fifth Stage of the Soul Sea Realm. Couldn’t he handle a Ye Zhen?
"What now, do you understand?"
"An ordinary girl, is she worth you, Ye Zhen, getting so furiously worked up over her?" Seeing Ye Zhen silent, Yan Kun spoke again.
Where did Yan Kun know, Ye Zhen was angered by his words.
Suddenly, Ye Zhen, behaving very out of character, asked Yan Kun, "Yan Kun, do you have a daughter?"
"What about it? I have one," Yan Kun replied subconsciously.
"Then send her to my room later, let me have some fun! Hmm, for a thousand taels of gold!"
Ye Zhen extended a finger very seriously.
In an instant, Yan Kun, having realized what was happening, his face turned incredibly sour, "You scoundrel, seeking death, you dare to mock me!"
"What’s all this fuss about? What kind of behavior is this?"
"Deputy Tower Master Yan, you want to kill Ye Zhen? Am I hearing this right?" The voice of Hai Luoshuang, the Tower Master of Stars Tower, rang out.(To be continued.
