Chapter 23: The Huge Sum of Money

  Not long after Ye Chen caught up with Qin Mu and left, seven or eight men in green clothes with swords appeared here. The leader frowned and looked around, stopped for a while on the middle-aged man who followed Qin Mu, and then carefully searched again. "Look around, Old Qin is not here!"

  "Yes!" The people behind the leader dispersed to search, and the surrounding walls and trees were neatly cut off. Many people died, but some narrowly escaped that terrifying move and desperately sought a place to escape. After searching for a while, several people gathered together and shook their heads.

  "The horse is fast, the law enforcement team will be here soon, let's go back and report truthfully." The leader said immediately.

  Several men in green robes had just left, and some more people came to explore, leaving before half a time, several waves of people arrived, but these were all unrelated to Ye Chen now. Ye Chen grabbed Qin Mu and brought him to a hidden alley, throwing Qin Mu to the ground.

  The painful feeling made Qin Mu's eyebrows furrow, and from the look of Ye Chen, he could tell that he was not a member of the Su family. Qin Mu felt that his chances of survival were slim, and Ye Chen's throw only confirmed what he had been thinking in his heart.

  However, the inner elixir of Xue Ming Hu had already been swallowed by himself. Even if the opponent wanted to rob him, there was nothing to be robbed. Qin Mu felt a little fortunate that he had swallowed Xue Ming Hu's inner elixir. Otherwise, not only would he have failed to repel the invading enemy, but now he would also be destroyed and his inner elixir stolen by this young man.

  "Don't you remember me?" Ye Chen squatted down and leaned his face close to Qin Mu, his expression calm as he spoke.

  Qin Mu looked at the unremarkably handsome face in front of him, but a sense of stability emanated from it. There was something familiar about it that he couldn't quite place, and as he looked closer, Qin Mu's expression became one of confusion.

  Ye Chen reminded Qin Mu, "In today's underground world, you used your momentum to force someone onto the stage, and yet you've forgotten the person you forced so quickly?"

  Qin Mu's face changed color and he exclaimed in surprise: "Is it you?"

  "Then who do you think it is?" Ye Chen asked.

  "What do you want?" Qin Mu was surprised at first, but after knowing who Ye Chen was, he calmed down. In his heart, Ye Chen was just a insignificant person, even if he was seriously injured now, this kind of person who he wouldn't even bother to look at normally could hurt him, but the pride deep in his heart made Qin Mu not take Ye Chen seriously, so his tone wasn't that panicked either.

  "I want to know who made you plot against me!" Ye Chen's face was calm.

  "Little one, do you want to be an enemy of the Su family? You're asking for a dead end!" Qin Mu said with disdain towards Ye Chen.

  "Whether you're looking for a way to die or a way to live, it doesn't matter, you won't be able to see me anyway. I know it's Su Hao who told you to do this, I'm just verifying, and I don't necessarily need your answer. Anyone who wants me dead will not have an easy time themselves." Ye Chen said calmly.

  Qin Mu listened to Ye Chen's faint tone, slightly surprised and looked at Ye Chen. At such a young age, he could talk about life and death so calmly. However, after hearing Ye Chen's words, he wanted to find trouble with Su Hao. "With your current strength that hasn't even reached the Pre-Heavenly Realm, you want to find trouble with Su Hao? Do you know how many Pre-Heavenly Realm experts are protecting him? I advise you to go practice more!"

  "Oh? There are several congenital realm experts around Su Hao?" Ye Chen was shocked in his heart, he had thought it would be too simple. Indeed, as the second family of Xing City, the Su family, and Su Hao as the successor of the next generation's family head, how could there not be powerful experts protecting him?

  "Kid, do you think I'd tell you? Even if you don't kill me, in this state, I won't live much longer anyway. It's not much different from being dead. You might as well give up trying to get anything out of me. Either let me go or kill me now!" Qin Mu said, his eyes still showing a glimmer of longing. No one wants to die, even half-crippled people like him.

  "Then go die first, they won't take long to come and reunite with you." Ye Chen was decisive and ruthless. Looking at Qin Mu's nearly useless body, he also knew that asking questions wouldn't yield anything valuable, and he couldn't possibly let Qin Mu leave, so he could only kill him.

  Qin Mu didn't expect that before he could say a few words, the other side would so resolutely want to kill him. Just as he wanted to say something, a cold gleam flashed by, and Qin Mu's head was already separated from his body, rolling to one side, revealing a bewildered gaze.

  "There's no need for me anymore, what's the point of keeping you?" Ye Chen said, looking at Qin Mu's puzzled eyes.

  After wandering in the wild for three years, Ye Chen knew that the wealth of the dead was actually the easiest way to get rich. Ye Chen would not miss the opportunity to loot the body of a Pre-Heavenly Boundary strong expert.

  Ye Chen searched Qin Mu's body and found a secret book, a sword, three jade bottles, and three credit cards. Most of the credit cards were registered in real names with password requirements, but there were also many anonymous credit cards, which was convenient for withdrawals, bribes, etc. Anything that is convenient will always be in demand.

  Ye Chen's gaze was focused on that secret book, to know that the current value of the secret book is absolutely not something Ye Chen can afford. A high-level secret book, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of credits are needed, those top-notch secret books, aren't even something that can be bought with credit points.

  Ye Chen flipped through the secret book in his hand, roughly scanning it. This was a sword manual, and only a fragment of it remained. It was the Nine Yao Sword that Qin Mu had wielded, which required a strong practitioner with innate abilities to cultivate.

  The Nine Variations of the Jiuyao Sword, only three variations were described in the secret manual: Split, Merge, and Rotate. The rest seemed to have been torn off, abruptly cut off. Ye Dust didn't have much time to cultivate now, and this place wasn't very safe either. He took another look at the three jade bottles, two of which contained medicinal pellets. Ye Dust didn't know what effects these medicinal pellets had, but asking about them made his body feel refreshed, definitely precious medicinal pellets. Counting them, there were nine in total, five in one bottle and four in the other, clearly two different types of medicinal pellets. Ye Dust got excited for a moment, then looked at the next bottle, which contained something he recognized - Corpse Dissolving Water, capable of making corpses decay instantly, very practical stuff.

  Ye Chen then checked the credit cards, one of which was anonymous. Ye Chen skillfully opened the credit card information and the numbers made his heart beat rapidly, 100,000 credit points!

  These anonymous credit cards are mostly used by people who go out to hunt, and few are used in the city. It's better for everyone to have their own special credit card. This kind of anonymity is convenient, but if it's lost, the loss will be great.

  Ye Chen was somewhat excited to transfer the huge sum of one million into his own credit card, and in this process, he still had a dreamlike feeling. One million credit points, this is something Ye Chen has never seen before. In the past, even 1,800 credit points would make Ye Chen excited, which was enough for a month's living expenses. Now, one million is truly a huge fortune.

  Under intense pressure, Ye Chen glanced at Qin Mu's body, paused for a moment, then took out a white jade bottle, poured two drops on Qin Mu's body and head. Suddenly, Qin Mu's corpse began to boil and quickly disappeared, leaving behind a puddle of water.

  "No matter what, you gave me such great wealth. As a reward, I won't let your corpse be devoured and torn apart by those animals. This is all I can do." Ye Chen said slowly, then left the place.
