A chair in front of him spun around slightly, and a young man in a python robe looked at Ye Xingchen with a wicked smile.
Na Yuanzhen's attire is almost identical to that of his older brother, Na Sanshao.
However, this guy's face was slightly pale, probably due to practicing some kind of evil technique.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became somewhat oppressive. Ye Xingchen stared at Na Yuanzhen for a long while before finally saying, "Na Yuanzhen?"
“Yes, it is me.” Na Yuanzhen nodded.
He then looked at Ye Xingchen with some approval: "Hehe, you really dared to come, which I didn't expect."
"You think I won't come?" Ye Xingchen asked.
“A reasonably normal person wouldn’t, because a normal person wouldn’t be an enemy of the Na family,” Na Yuanzhen said.
“I don’t want to be your enemy either, because there are many important things in this world that I need to do.” Ye Xingchen sighed and said, “But if I don’t become your enemy, I won’t be able to rescue my father.”
"How about this, Ye Xingchen, how about we make a deal?" Na Yuanzhen looked at Ye Xingchen.
"If you release my father, everything will be fine." Ye Xingchen nodded. "Some things are best resolved in the simplest way."
“Hehe, your father is locked under the ancestral tomb of the former dynasty’s royal family, and the Eight Dragons Formation is used to draw power from him to nourish the feng shui.” Na Yuanzhen chuckled. “Release him? I’m afraid that won’t be easy.”
"Then what are you still talking about? What else is there to talk about?" Ye Xingchen's expression was somewhat angry.
Sure enough, my father was locked in that dark and sunless place, and he suffered immense pain every day.
Because if the power within him were to condense even a little bit, it would be mercilessly drained away by the formation.
For over twenty years, what kind of pain has he been enduring?
"Hehe, don't get excited. Although this is not negotiable, I still have enough leverage," Na Yuanzhen said with a smile.
"No matter how many bargaining chips you have, it's useless." Ye Xingchen shook his head and said, "My bottom line is to release my father. If you can do that, I can leave you with a whole corpse."
"Oh, so you mean you're not going to let me go no matter whether we can reach an agreement or not? Is that how I should understand it?" Na Yuanzhen looked up at Ye Xingchen.
“That’s right, you can understand it that way, because both the Jin family and you, Nei Yuanzhen, have been put on my kill list.”
Ye Xingchen sneered, "For the sake of your imperial ambitions, you didn't hesitate to raise ghosts in the Great Wuxiang Temple and then nourish evil gods."
“Your actions have angered both Heaven and the people. I could very well represent Heaven and destroy you.”
"Hahaha, the Heavenly Dao?" Nalan Zhen burst into laughter, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
His face twisted and contorted in horror as he leaned closer, staring intently at Ye Xingchen: "You... what gives you the right to represent the Heavenly Dao?"
“You and I are both just ordinary people in this world. You have your path, and I have mine. Neither of us is more noble than the other. So, what makes you think you are superior?”
"Superior to others?" Ye Xingchen glanced at him, then shook his head and said, "I don't think I'm superior to others."
“You’re right. You have your path, and I have mine. We are all just ordinary people in this world.”
"But the difference between you and me is that I have a strong sense of righteousness in my heart, while you harm your fellow human beings, incurring the wrath of heaven and the resentment of the people."
“I may not represent the will of Heaven, but at least I can represent that righteous spirit and destroy you.”
Ye Xingchen pointed at Na Yuanzhen: "You and your brother really are the same kind of people, hehe. It's just that your brother supported the long-extinct royal family until his death, while you just want to take their place."
“In this world, if a man doesn’t look out for himself, he’ll be doomed.” Na Yuanzhen sneered. He slowly stood up, paced around the room, and murmured, “Ye Xingchen, you are a talented person. If you follow me, I believe we can create a kingdom that belongs to us.”
"At that time, you will be a founding hero, enjoying supreme power. Wouldn't that be better?"
"I think you've got it wrong." Ye Xingchen shook his head and said, "The promises you've made to me aren't enough to sway me. Besides, if I wanted to, I could have the world at my fingertips. Why should I become one of your founding heroes?"
“You gained the world illegitimately,” Na Yuanzhen said coldly. “But I am different. The world I possess is rightfully mine.”
"Even if the Jin royal family still has members, and even if they were all gone, in the eyes of the world, you would still be seen as someone who plots to seize power." Ye Xingchen laughed: "Save your breath, Na Yuanzhen, our pursuits are different."
"The promises you've made aren't enough to sway me, so you'd better watch yourself."
"So, are you sure you want to go against me?" Na Yuanzhen stared at Ye Xingchen.
"Release my father, and perhaps I'll consider leaving you a complete corpse," Ye Xingchen said resolutely.
"Heh, then there's no room for negotiation." Na Yuanzhen sneered, raising his right hand and pointing at Ye Xingchen: "Ye Xingchen, you will pay the price for your actions, and you will regret them."
"Perhaps, but it doesn't matter." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly: "Hand over the imperial seal of the previous dynasty to help me open the ancestral tomb of the previous dynasty's royal family."
"The imperial seal is right here. If you have the guts, come and get it yourself." Na Yuanzhen took out a sandalwood box and placed it on the table. He looked at Ye Xingchen with a provocative expression.
"Huh, are you provoking me?" Ye Xingchen looked at Na Yuanzhen in surprise.
He could tell that Na Yuanzhen's strength wasn't that great. This guy had probably gotten this far by sheer ruthlessness. But there was one thing Ye Xingchen admired about him: he dared to challenge him.
“That’s right, I’m provoking you, come on.” Na Yuanzhen sneered, beckoning to Ye Xingchen with his hand, his expression becoming increasingly fierce.
"Then I really thank you." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly and said, "It's been a long time since anyone has dared to provoke me like this. You're the first."
"Heh, since I dare to provoke you, it means I have the confidence to provoke you." Na Yuanzhen sneered, "Ye Xingchen, make your move."
With a swift grab of his right hand, a blood droplet appeared in Na Yuanzhen's hand.
He swiftly swung the chains of the Blood Droplets, and with a snap, the unique hood of the Blood Droplets suddenly opened, covering Ye Xingchen's head.
At the same time, more than ten Blood Guards appeared from all directions and surrounded Ye Xingchen.
With the Blood Guards and Blood Droplets attacking simultaneously, it seems Na Yuan is truly determined to keep Ye Xingchen here.
Amidst the whistling wind and the attacks from the guards around him, Ye Xingchen pointed with his right hand, and the Crimson Sky appeared in his hand, a circle of sword energy rippling outwards in all directions.
