"Brother Ye, it is said that the young master of Wuji City has an extremely precious treasure map of the Heavenly Dragon Ruins."

From what I understand, that treasure trove was once the residence of one of the ten powerful guards under the ancient Heavenly Dragon, and it contains countless killing formations.

We were just conscripted cannon fodder, used to probe the location of the killing formation.

Wang Hu continued to transmit his voice to Ye Chen, explaining the reason why the young master of Wuji City had gone to such lengths to forcibly conscript tens of thousands of professionals into the Tianlong Ruins.

Ye Chen's eyes lit up when he heard Wang Hu's telepathic message.

The place where one of the ten powerful guards under the ancient Heavenly Dragon once lived must contain countless treasures!

It might even contain top-tier sacred artifacts!

As for Emperor-level artifacts, Ye Chen didn't even dare to dream of them, knowing that even the Ancient Heavenly Dragon was only at the Great Emperor level.

As for his ten divine guards, they were at most at the quasi-emperor level.

Generally speaking, someone with quasi-emperor level strength is not qualified to wield an imperial weapon!

"Brother Wang, I sense you're quite powerful. How about we pull off a heist? This young master of Wuji City, Chen Mu, dared to forcibly conscript us as slaves and cannon fodder. Naturally, we must make him pay with his life!"

A glint of light flashed in Ye Chen's eyes as he transmitted his voice to Wang Hu.

After hearing Ye Chen's telepathic message, Wang Hu looked at Ye Chen with some suspicion.

Just how strong is this kid?!

How dare they say such a thing!

Although he himself thinks this way, who is he?

He is a peerless genius who ranks as high as 250th on the points leaderboard and has reached the mythical level in his professional career.

If the Celestial God Clan weren't so bad at fighting, making it into the top 100 wouldn't be too much of a problem.

Moreover, he was confident that he could escape and save his life even from the hands of the top ten most outstanding geniuses on the list.

Wang Hu frowned and transmitted his voice, "I know that Brother Ye's strength is extraordinary, but this Chen Mu is a peerless genius ranked over nine hundredth on the points leaderboard. I'm worried that Brother Ye might not be able to deal with him!"

Ye Chen shook his head and transmitted his voice, "Although Chen Mu is not weak, he is still no match for me. Brother Wang, rest assured, I will definitely not hold you back!"

Wang Hu stared intently into Ye Chen's eyes, feeling the intense confidence within them, and couldn't help but be moved.

Although he vaguely sensed an extremely dangerous aura emanating from Ye Chen, his Eye of Truth could not detect anything unusual.

"As expected, one should never underestimate anyone. There's always someone better. Brother Ye's ability to conceal himself is truly terrifying!"

Wang Hu looked at Ye Chen with utter shock.

Ye Chen is hiding his true abilities very well!

Fortunately, he didn't have any bad intentions; he was just curious and wanted to make a friend!

Who would have thought he was actually a hidden genius!

Wang Hu exclaimed in a telepathic message, "Brother Ye, you've hidden yourself so well! Even my divine eyes couldn't see through your true nature!"

Ye Chen smiled and then transmitted his voice, "Brother Wang is joking. Your strength is probably much greater than that of Chen Mu. You are far from just an ordinary King-level professional!"

Wang Hu was taken aback.

Holy crap, does that mean my true identity has been exposed?!

You should know that among the top 1,000 professionals on the leaderboard, there is only one named Wang Hu!

Since Ye Chen confidently stated that his strength was no weaker than Chen Mu's, wouldn't that mean his ranking was even higher than Chen Mu's?

Who would have thought that after hunting geese all day long, one would end up being pecked by them?

He used to be the one who saw through other people's disguises, but he never expected that Ye Chen would see through his disguise today!

This... truly is a cycle of karma!

"Brother Ye, that's right, I'm coming clean. I am Wang Hu, ranked 250th on the leaderboard. I didn't expect you to see through my identity!"

Wang Hu also sent a telepathic message to Ye Chen with a bitter expression.

He was somewhat frustrated to be defeated in his area of ​​greatest strength.

Ye Chen was not surprised to hear Wang Hu's telepathic message. All of Wang Hu's information had been exposed under the detection of the Divine Insight, so it could be said that Wang Hu's attributes were no secret to him.

Ye Chen patted Wang Hu on the shoulder and then transmitted his voice, "Thank you for clearing up my doubts, Brother Wang. Otherwise, I would have killed Chen Mu long ago, and I would have missed the location of the treasure!"

Suddenly, a commotion broke out in the crowd.

Immediately afterwards, several powerful auras rose up, and the power of rules surged, instantly killing several professionals.

"Are these people stupid? Lord Jin Kai of the Wuji Guard is no pushover. They actually thought of running away. They're practically courting death!"

"You could say that 99 percent of the people here will die here; it's just a matter of whether they die sooner or later!"

"Yes, our fate was sealed the moment we were forcibly conscripted by the Wuji Guard. We can only gamble on this last glimmer of hope!"

Many people in the crowd whispered among themselves, their words filled with despair.

This is the tragedy of professionals in small worlds: without a background or strength, they are at the mercy of others wherever they go, unable to stir up any trouble at all.

"Quiet down!"

The lead golden-armored guard unleashed his aura, and a loud shout rang in everyone's ears.

The noisy crowd suddenly fell silent; you could hear a pin drop.

Just then, the space in front of them distorted again, and Chen Mu and two golden-armored guards appeared in the Tianlong Ruins.

"Everyone, follow me!"

At Chen Mu's command, he transformed into a streak of light and disappeared at the forefront.

Subsequently, thousands of Wuji Guards, their auras linked, escorted the tens of thousands of professionals towards the direction where Chen Mu had disappeared.

Several golden-armored guards stood watch around the perimeter to prevent any accidents from occurring.

Bang--

One professional was killed by a single punch from a distance by a golden-armored guard who was at the back of the group because he couldn't keep up with the group.

"Everyone keep up! If I find anyone lagging behind, they're dead!"

The golden-armored guard exuded murderous intent and roared.

This sent a shiver down the spines of countless professionals, who wished they had more legs to increase their speed several times over.

Ye Chen looked at Wang Hu, and Wang Hu instantly understood.

An aura of the rules of wind emanated from Wang Hu and enveloped Ye Chen at the same time.

The two suddenly increased their speed and appeared at the front of the group in an instant.

Many less skilled professionals looked at Ye Chen with great envy.

"This person is really lucky to have met such a benefactor who is willing to expend his magic power to give him a ride!"

"Yes, judging from his aura, he's only at the Gold level. If he hadn't had a benefactor's help, he probably wouldn't be alive now!"

"He's just a pretty boy, with such weak strength. Even if he has a benefactor now, he won't live long!"

Many professionals at the end of the line were talking amongst themselves, their teeth practically grinding to dust at Ye Chen's relaxed demeanor!

How they wished that person were themselves!
