“You’re right. If you want to negotiate, it’s actually quite simple for me to release your son.” Ye Xingchen said leisurely, “Release my father, and we’ll be at peace.”
"Hehe, your father died more than twenty years ago. If you wish, you can take his ashes with you when you leave." Jin Zhihuan laughed.
"Okay, in exchange, I can bring your son Jinxiang's head to exchange for my father's ashes." Ye Xingchen smiled.
“Ye Xingchen, I’m not joking. Your father is dead. I know you want to see him alive or dead, but he really did die in Jinluo City more than twenty years ago.” Jin Zhihuan said, “Give me back my son, and I can compensate you with something else.”
"What other compensation can you offer? Can a human life compensate for that?" Ye Xingchen sneered. "If it's really as you say, and my father is dead, then in three days, I will have someone transport your son's body back to Jinluo City."
"Oh, but it might not be a whole corpse, it'll probably be dismembered into eight pieces, how about that?"
Jin Zhihuan was silent for a moment: "You know what happens when you offend Jin Luocheng, Ye Xingchen. Don't follow in your father's footsteps."
"Oh, thank you for reminding me, but I'm just like my dad, I don't know what's good for me." Ye Xingchen laughed: "Jin Zhihuan, I advise you not to waste your energy, there's no point in sending these mercenaries."
"I'll give you three days. If you don't give me a satisfactory answer after three days, then I'm sorry, I will personally transport your son's body to Jinluo City."
“If you really dare to come, I’ll make sure you don’t leave alive,” Jin Zhihuan said coldly.
"That depends on whether you have the ability." Ye Xingchen laughed heartily: "I know a little about your situation. In order to cultivate the Rootless Scripture, you have probably already destroyed your male genitals."
“If you have no other sons or illegitimate children, Jinxiang will be your only son. If he dies, your lineage will end. Your ancestors were princes, members of the royal family. If your lineage is truly cut off, will you have the face to face your royal ancestors?”
The other party remained silent for a long time, but even through the microphone, Ye Xingchen could still sense the other party's gritted teeth in hatred.
Ye Xingchen wasn't in a hurry. He knew he needed to be even more patient than the other person. He simply held the microphone and waited quietly for their reply.
After a long silence, Jin Zhihuan finally spoke coldly: "Ye Xingchen, you and your father are quite different. Your father is reckless and doesn't consider the consequences, while you are very resourceful."
"Are you praising me?" Ye Xingchen looked flattered. "If you are praising me, then thank you, but it's really not necessary. You still need to think about how to deal with my anger."
"What do you want?" Jin Zhihuan asked after a moment of silence.
The moment he uttered those words, it meant he had already compromised. In fact, at this point, he had no choice but to compromise.
"Revenge." Ye Xingchen uttered two words: "If my father were alive, you would have imprisoned and tortured him for twenty years. This revenge must be taken."
“If he is dead, then you can hang his bones on the city wall for twenty years, letting them be exposed to the wind and rain. As his only son, I will still seek revenge on you.”
"So no matter what, you'd better be prepared to face my wrath."
"What do you want? To overthrow the entire Jinluo City?" Jin Zhihuan roared in a low voice.
"Wrong. What's the point of overthrowing Jinluo City? Listen carefully, Jin Zhihuan. I will kill one person and destroy one city." Ye Xingchen's tone suddenly turned sinister: "Not for anything else, but for your Jinluo City. It deserves to be destroyed, and you deserve to be executed."
"Arrogant..." Jin Zhihuan roared, "Ye Xingchen, if you really consider yourself Ye Jinyu's son, then come to Jinluo City and I will fight you fair and square. If I lose, you can take my life, and we will settle our grudges. Don't threaten me with my son."
"Haha, you said it yourself, I seem to have more methods than my father." Ye Xingchen laughed loudly: "Despicable is not just your prerogative, sometimes I have to use it too. I don't know if your son has any descendants, if not..."
"Shut up! Shut up right now! Release my son, and we'll fight one-on-one!" Jin Zhihuan roared.
"Don't even think about it." Ye Xingchen laughed loudly, then threw the satellite phone on the ground and stomped on it.
With a snap, the satellite phone was smashed to pieces by his foot. Ye Xingchen looked up at Hughton and saw a hint of fear in Hughton's eyes.
"Are you scared?" Ye Xingchen looked up at Hughton.
"Let me go, I..."
Before Hugh could finish speaking, Ye Xingchen stepped forward and passed by him.
Hugh's eyes were wide open, a trickle of blood flowing down his neck, and his eyes quickly lost their luster.
"Anyone connected to Jinluo City deserves to die." Ye Xingchen glanced indifferently at Hughton, then strode away.
The battle was nearing its end; the close-quarters combat had begun quickly and ended just as fast.
When Ye Xingchen returned, he happened to see Liu Xuesong leading people to clean up the battlefield.
"Is it over?" Ye Xingchen asked.
"It's over. Those people didn't run away, did they?" Liu Xuesong asked with a smile.
"Don't worry, none of them escaped." Ye Xingchen grinned. "This level of combat is nothing."
"That's good." Liu Xuesong looked at Wang Jin, who was looking around in one direction.
"What are you looking at?" Ye Xingchen asked curiously.
Wang Jin intrigued him. This guy wasn't a martial artist, but the aura he exuded was comparable to that of a master in the Heavenly Realm.
Moreover, his mental strength is exceptionally strong. Perhaps this guy is an anomaly by nature, otherwise he could not have hidden in Jinluo City for so long without being discovered.
“Qi.” Wang Jin uttered a single word, looking ahead: “Look, there’s a very strong black aura over there, which has already formed a black cloud.”
“That’s malevolent energy, and also resentment.” Ye Xingchen looked in the direction he was pointing, and his brows furrowed at the first glance.
Yes, the yin energy in that place has formed a dark cloud, which appears to be thick and billowing with a powerful aura.
“That place is where the Jinyanling mass grave is located.” Liu Xuesong walked over and, seeing the two staring intently in that direction, he couldn’t help but ask curiously, “What are you looking at?”
"Judging from the malevolent aura," Ye Xingchen frowned slightly. "That place is the mass grave?"
“Yes, many people were captured and experimented on during the war, and many died, hence the name ‘mass grave’,” Liu Xuesong said. “Is there a problem with that?”
