"Countless lives were lost at my hands in the battle of Jinluo City. I am a man whose hands are stained with blood, and I don't care about bearing this additional karma." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly.
Zhang Shih-hao stared blankly at Ye Xing-chen for a long time before finally letting out a sigh.
"Why are you sighing?" Ye Xingchen couldn't help but look at Zhang Shihao with surprise.
"When will I be able to be as carefree as you?" Zhang Shihao raised his head and looked deeply at Ye Xingchen: "The resentment and karmic consequences you bear are immense. No one else could be so carefree."
"So that's what makes me different. You still have a lot to learn from me, young man. Keep up the good work." Ye Xingchen patted Zhang Shihao on the shoulder half-jokingly, then turned and left.
"Why are you acting all old-fashioned?" Zhang Shihao rolled his eyes at Ye Xingchen.
After leaving Ye Xingchen's place, Black Bear had the driver take him onto the ring road. On the highway, he made several phone calls and arranged everything.
Then he called his wife and children and asked them to meet him at the airport.
He had transferred all his money to overseas accounts, and he also took some gold and other valuables with him. Over the years, he had indeed made a lot of money following Na Yuanzhen, enough for him to live a carefree life abroad for the rest of his life.
After hanging up the phone, he let out a long sigh of relief.
"Brother Xiong, since you're already planning to run away, why do you want to see Ye Xingchen before you leave? Wouldn't it be better to just run away?" He looked at Black Bear with some confusion.
"Aren't you oversimplifying things? Such a big thing happened in Jiyang City, even the military has moved in. Do you really think Ye Xingchen will let me leave Jiyang so easily?" Black Bear sneered as he leaned back on the car's sofa.
“If I don’t tell him what I know, he definitely won’t let me go. With Ye Xingchen’s strength, even if I escape to the ends of the earth, he can still bring me back.”
"Instead of living in constant fear outside, it's better to tell him everything I know and put my mind at ease."
Black Bear muttered, "Anyway, his target is Neiyuanzhen, I'm not taking the blame for this."
"Brother Xiong, is Ye Xingchen really that strong? He's Na Shao, you know. He's very famous in Jiyang City and even across three provinces." The underling asked curiously while driving.
"Heh, Nei Yuanzhen?" Black Bear sneered. "His status is definitely unattainable to us ordinary people, but in the eyes of those at the top, he is just an ant."
"You really think the people who quietly mobilized the garrison are ordinary people? This time it's not a personal feud between Ye Xingchen and Nei Yuanzhen, but someone higher up is going to take down Nei Yuanzhen."
"Doesn't he realize what era we live in? He's still clinging to his ancestors' worthless glory. He's a complete madman."
"As expected of Brother Xiong, he analyzes everything so logically and clearly," the younger brother said with admiration.
"Alright, let's hurry to the airport and buy the fastest plane to leave Jiyang City, anywhere is fine." Black Bear said, "My most urgent task is to leave Jiyang City and get as far away as possible."
"Okay, Brother Xiong, I've made all the arrangements. Once you and your wife meet at the airport, you can leave here together."
"Okay, I'll rest for a bit. Call me when we get to the airport." Black Bear closed his eyes; he was indeed quite tired.
The car was speeding along the airport expressway when, after traveling for a while, suddenly, one of the car's tires exploded with a loud bang.
The car traveling at high speed suddenly went out of control, but fortunately the young driver was a skilled driver and held onto the steering wheel tightly. The car then came to a stop just short of the edge of the highway bridge.
"What's going on? What happened?" Black Bear was so scared that he wet himself and clung tightly to the seat in front of him.
"We just had a flat tire, it's nothing serious." The young man was also terrified, his face pale. Still shaken, he released the steering wheel, then took off his seatbelt and got out.
"How could a tire blow out?" Black Bear's eyelids twitched; he suddenly had a bad feeling.
He got out of the car and saw the wheel that had blown out; the entire tire had disappeared.
Moreover, a piece of the plane, as thin as a willow leaf, was firmly stuck to the blown-out tire.
"Blood Guard... the Blood Guard is here! Run, run fast!" The black bear suddenly realized what was happening and howled in terror.
Yes, this hidden weapon is the mark of the Blood Guards; it's the people from the Inner Yuan Realm who have caught up with us.
The other party already knows that he has met Ye Xingchen, and now they are willing to kill him at all costs.
The henchman screamed in terror and ran forward. Suddenly, a volley of projectiles pierced his chest, and a cloud of blood mist erupted from his body. He was propelled forward dozens of meters by inertia before collapsing to his knees with a thud.
He struggled a few times, then stopped moving.
At this point, anyone who could still travel with the black bear must have been one of the black bear's confidants, so he did many shady things for the black bear, and therefore his death was not a pity.
Several Blood Guards dressed in python robes appeared silently, their two gleaming semi-circular scimitars serving as their emblem.
"Young Master Na, I was wrong, Young Master Na, please forgive me! Please forgive me for all these years I've served you like a slave!" Black Bear knelt down on the ground with a thud, kowtowing desperately.
With no emotion in their crimson eyes, two figures wielding massive curved blades swiftly moved forward. Then, with a flash of cold light, the two blades swept across the black bear's neck.
Thump... The black bear fell to the ground, and blood slowly flowed out of his body.
The two Blood Guards exchanged a glance, then checked on the black bear's condition. After confirming that he was dead, they quickly disappeared.
The other two Blood Guards who went to hunt down Black Bear's family did not have such an easy time.
A maze trapped the two in a forest, and no matter which way they went, they couldn't get out.
When Huang Wenxing appeared, the two slowly turned around, their cold eyes filled with chilling intent.
Although they were devoid of emotion, they could still tell that Huang Wenxing behind them was no ordinary person.
Putting everything else aside, the chill emanating from Huang Wenxing alone was something they couldn't handle.
"The master said that you will suffer endlessly, but there is always a shore to return to." Huang Wenxing stood behind the two and clasped his hands in a fist salute.
He had just solidified into human form and was still imitating many human expressions and movements. He knew that the gesture of clasping hands was a sign of respect.
Seeing Huang Wenxing's polite demeanor, a ruthless glint flashed in the eyes of the two men.
