Shortly after the bearded man left with the two ships' crew, a loud noise was heard from the captain's palace.
Immediately following.
A big hole appeared on the roof of the palace, and a thin figure suddenly flew out.
All the bandits below stopped what they were doing and focused towards the air.
The figure that flew out in panic was none other than Xiongba himself, the captain of their Xiongba bandit group!
"You son of a bitch, who told you to bring him back alive?"
Xiongba stood in mid-air, cursing at Yongsen who was standing below with a dumbfounded look on his face.
However, Ye Chen did not give the latter a chance to react. He smashed his head to pieces with the Baicao Cauldron in his hand.
Before Yongsen could react to what was happening, he had already reported to the King of Hell.
In an instant, he killed a captain in the middle stage of the Emperor Realm, which immediately aroused the vigilance of all the robbers.
Everyone drew their weapons and surrounded Ye Chen in three layers.
Ye Chen held the big cauldron in his hand, and red and white substances were constantly flowing on the cauldron.
Yaoyao walked in the air towards Xiongba.
Wherever he passed, no one dared to approach him.
Occasionally, there were a few young men who didn't believe in evil and came forward with weapons in hand to fight, but they were smashed to pieces by Ye Chen with his tripod.
"Emperor Ye Tian, this is a misunderstanding. I never ordered these men to capture him..."
At this moment, Xiongba looked extremely nervous.
Everyone was also wondering why the captain, who had always been brave and courageous and not afraid of even the powerful ones in the Great Perfection of the Emperor Realm, became timid when facing a guy in the early stage of the Emperor Realm.
It was like a mouse seeing a cat.
Ye Chen glanced at Lu Sheng in the distance and asked, "Did he ask you to kill me?"
"……yes!"
Lu Sheng gritted his teeth and nodded heavily.
Since you're going to die anyway, you might as well tell the truth. Maybe you can still have a chance of survival.
"He lied!"
Xiongba was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on his back and his face turned terrifyingly pale.
"I didn't lie, and others can testify for me!"
Anyway, he was determined to go all out. Lu Sheng immediately shouted, "This is the mission the captain gave me. He said that I should kill Ye Chen in the human world and bring back his head to claim the reward!"
At this moment, the bandits around were also confused.
Some of them had heard of this mission.
After all, the reward of 500 cubic meters of Tianyuan Qi was a lucrative task, so it was naturally spread by word of mouth and could not be concealed.
But.
What's going on now, Captain?
I've brought the person back to you, why don't you just kill him directly?
Why are you so afraid of Ye Chen without even fighting?
There is only one possibility.
That is, the captain has long known Ye Chen's true strength, which is not something he can deal with, so he is so afraid of Ye Chen.
But if that’s the case, why send people to die?
And they're afraid that no one would be willing to go, so they set such a high reward?
As the captain of the ship, Lu Sheng was naturally very smart and immediately discovered the trick.
Lu Sheng flew into a rage and roared, "So you wanted me and my brothers to die!"
There was a commotion among the bandits below.
They never imagined that the captain, who was always known for his loyalty and righteousness, would actually push his own brothers into the fire pit!
"Captain, what exactly is going on? Please give our brothers an explanation!"
"Yes, Captain, why did you let your brothers die?"
“…”
For a moment, the crowd was outraged.
"Noisy!"
The captain was furious, holding an ice-white longbow in his hand, with a strong sense of pressure.
It turned out to be a semi-immortal weapon!
whoosh!
An arrow was shot out, directly blowing the head off the guy who was shouting the loudest below.
Everyone immediately fell silent.
"If you dare to say anything more, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Xiongba's face was extremely gloomy, suppressing the emotions of the people below.
But he also knew that he was now deserted by everyone.
But the most important thing right now is to get this little ancestor out of here first.
His mind raced as he spoke again, "Emperor Ye Tian, this is indeed a misunderstanding. I've heard of your great name for a long time, and seeing you today is indeed true..."
Ye Chen interrupted directly: "Do you know me?"
"The great name of Emperor Ye Tian is, of course..."
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Ye Chen interrupted him again and said in a cold voice: "I ask questions and you answer them. If you dare to say another word of nonsense... then I will let you taste the power of my archery!"
As he spoke, he drew Houyi's bow and locked onto Xiongba from a distance.
Xiongba only felt that he was being stared at by an ancient ferocious beast, and his heart suddenly felt as if it had fallen into an icy cave.
His keen premonition from years of fighting told him that if he dared to move now, the consequences would be the same as what happened to one of his men just now.
He forced a smile and whispered, "Emperor Ye Tian, there are so many people here, can I have a word with you for a moment..."
"Say it right here!"
Ye Chen flatly refused and said coldly: "Who sent you to kill me?"
"Emperor Ye Tian, I really can't tell you this. Even if I tell you, I will die..."
Xiong Ba smiled bitterly, "I can only tell you the whole story, and I only ask you to let me live..."
"Hurry up and tell me!"
Xiong Ba immediately said, "Someone gave me 500 Fang of Heavenly Source Qi and asked me to send a strong man above the middle stage of the Emperor Realm to go to the human world to provoke you. That person knows your divine power, the Emperor of Heaven, so he also knows that this is just sending people to their deaths..."
"Do you know my methods?"
Ye Chen asked back.
Xiong Ba nodded and said, "I know a little. It was that person who told me that you, the Emperor of Heaven, possess the essence of the gods' blood. They sent people there to consume the power of your essence..."
As soon as these words came out.
There was another sensation below.
It turned out that their captain actually sent them to die.
That is the essence and blood of the gods!
The legendary blood of the gods!
That is no different from a nuclear bomb in the world of immortal cultivation.
Once it is released, even a demigod will perish.
Even powerful gods are wary of him.
And their captain actually sent them to kill such a powerful person. Isn't that obviously sending them to their deaths?
Lu Sheng was so angry that veins popped out on his forehead and he wished he could eat the man alive right away.
