The five people kept making hand seals.
They kept waving their canes.
In an instant, the five people plunged their canes into the ground.
Ye Liangchen, who was trapped, felt dizzy and disoriented.
The pentagram on the ground kept changing.
Space itself was torn apart by the pentagram.
Ye Liangchen was instantly teleported.
After the five elders finished using this move, they all coughed up blood and forcibly cast a teleportation formation.
The backlash from the formation directly damaged their foundation.
At this moment, dozens of security bureau members walked over from the crowd.
As the security personnel approached, the five elderly men stretched out their palms and slapped them directly onto their heads.
Several people instantly collapsed to the ground.
The security personnel were shocked by what they saw. The captain, who was in charge, knelt down to examine the body and frowned deeply. "Dead. A clean suicide." The team members exchanged bewildered glances, unable to understand why the elderly men had acted so decisively.
Meanwhile, in another corner of the city, Ye Liangchen appeared amidst ruins. He shook his head, quickly regaining his composure. "Hmph, trying to trap me? Not so easy." He knew those five old men must have paid a considerable price to move him here. Ye Liangchen secretly vowed to find the person behind it all.
Meanwhile, at the security bureau, after the captain reported the situation to his superiors, he received orders to thoroughly investigate the matter.
They began investigating the identities and backgrounds of the five elderly men and their entanglements with Ye Liangchen. As the investigation deepened, some powerful martial arts forces hidden in the shadows of the city gradually came to light.
These forces are intertwined and have various conflicts of interest among themselves. Ye Liangchen seems to have unwittingly been drawn into a huge conspiracy, which is like an invisible net that is slowly tightening.
Inside the security bureau, Li Wenyuan had just arrived.
Soon, he also learned of Ye Liangchen's disappearance.
Within Jiangxi Province, security bureau vehicles were seen on all the main roads.
In the suburbs, Ye Liangchen stood up.
Dozens of men in black appeared around them.
Upon seeing Ye Liangchen, the men in black immediately stepped forward and subdued them.
Under the immense pressure, Ye Liangchen wanted to resist, but his body was already exhausted.
A group of people forcibly knocked Ye Liangchen unconscious.
Soon, Ye Liangchen was taken to another place by a group of people.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself hanging upside down in mid-air.
To be precise, they hung Ye Liangchen up directly.
It was then that he realized he was in a basement.
The dark basement was filled with a chilling atmosphere. A row of men in black stood in neat rows around them, their postures upright and their faces expressionless, like cold statues, exuding a murderous aura.
At the very top of the basement, a totem emitting an eerie glow hung high. The totem's lines were twisted, seemingly concealing endless secrets, and the flickering light cast dappled shadows on the walls, making the entire space even more mysterious and unpredictable.
Below, a worn-out stool stood alone, upon which stood an old man well past sixty. His hair was thinning and completely white, his face etched with the wrinkles of time, yet his eyes were sharp as an eagle's, exuding an indescribable air of authority.
In the middle of this bizarre scene, Ye Liangchen was suspended in mid-air by a thick rope. He struggled desperately, veins bulging on his forehead, but the rope remained unmoved. At this moment, filled with anger and resentment, he roared, "Who are you?"
However, only deathly silence answered him. The old man stared coldly at Ye Liangchen, as if brewing some kind of conspiracy. The man in black remained motionless like a wooden stake. The tense atmosphere in the basement grew stronger, like the calm before a storm. A thrilling contest was about to begin.
The old man looked at Ye Liangchen for a long time before slowly speaking.
"Kid, do you still remember Beichen?"
"Bei Chen?"
Ye Liangchen searched for the name in his mind.
It took him a moment to remember the man; he was the guy who had stolen his food in the dusty suburbs of the north.
"I remember now, you came looking for me because of him?"
The old man looked at Ye Liangchen and spoke slowly.
"To be precise, we're not looking for you because of him, but because of what he has. Hand it over and I'll let you go."
"I don't understand what you're talking about. Could you be more specific?"
The old man instantly appeared beside Ye Liangchen and punched him in the stomach.
As the pain surged, Ye Liangchen felt as if his internal organs were about to explode.
"Kid, don't try anything funny with me. I had people investigating you back then, and you admitted to taking something. Now you're asking me what it was? Let me tell you, my patience is limited."
"Too much time has passed, I really don't know what you want."
Upon hearing this, the old man threw another punch.
Ye Liangchen was directly carried away.
Due to inertia, he fell backward and then returned to the original position.
The old man grabbed him by the throat.
"Kid, did you crack the secrets inside and obtain the opportunities within?"
Ye Liangchen felt like his throat was about to break.
He quickly shook his head.
"No...no, I...I have no idea what you're looking for."
The old man slowly increased the pressure.
Are you still going to be stubborn even now?
"I...I really don't know."
For a full twenty seconds, the old man saw that Ye Liangchen still didn't speak before he let go of his hand.
He reached out, and a long sword flew out into the air, its blade directly against Ye Liangchen's neck.
"A dozen days ago, a beast tide broke out outside the Beast Forest. At that time, you unleashed terrifying energy. What happened?"
"That's because I ate the Blood Explosion Pill, which activated my body's potential, causing me to unleash my power."
After listening, the old man smiled at Ye Liangchen.
"Kid, looks like you're really asking for a beating."
The long sword, blade facing outwards, struck directly at Ye Liangchen's stomach.
Ye Liangchen spat out a mouthful of bitter water, feeling as if he was about to vomit bile.
"Do you really think I'm stupid? Blood Explosion Pill? You ate a Blood Explosion Pill and you're still alive? You're kidding me."
"I...I'm telling the truth. Have you forgotten that I was originally a commoner who later awakened my superpower, primal energy?"
"What does this have to do with what I'm talking about?"
"Of course there is a connection."
Ye Liangchen paused for a moment, gathered his thoughts, and continued speaking.
“They took me to a secret area and frequently tested my body. They said they wanted to study me carefully, so every time I had an accident, they would give me the best medicine to treat me. It was the same when I had the blood-exploding pill more than ten days ago.”
Upon hearing this, the old man put away his knife.
"You still have to say, you're still an important person."
"I'm just a nobody."
"Kid, let's get back to the point. Tell me, what did you get from Beichen back then? Tell me everything."
