Jiangcheng High-Speed Railway Station, under the scorching summer sun.
A thin figure appeared in the bustling crowd, catching people's attention.
The owner of the figure was a young man, dressed in an almost white military green T-shirt from frequent washing, wearing a baseball cap, and carrying an old canvas bag slung diagonally across his body.
He was holding an ID card in his hand, which showed that the young man's name was Ye Chen.
Ye Chen's attire was indeed out of place among the people around him.
Although Jiangcheng is not a first-tier city, it is at the forefront of second-tier cities, so even migrant workers who come here will pay some attention to their image. However, Ye Chen's attire was a bit shabby.
At this moment, a tall and beautiful woman passed by Ye Chen. She glanced at Ye Chen's attire and couldn't help but frown.
But this frown allowed Ye Chen to see that the woman had a dark fortune palace, a typical sign of impending disaster.
In other words, she was bound to suffer a bloody disaster today!
"Beautiful lady, I see a bloody disaster for you today. Why not shed a little blood to ward off the disaster and prevent future troubles?" Ye Chen kindly reminded.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he spoke, the tall and beautiful woman's face turned red, and she nervously opened her handbag, letting out a sigh of relief when she found her sanitary pad.
Then, the woman glared at Ye Chen fiercely and spat, cursing, "Pervert!"
Pervert?
Ye Chen was somewhat confused.
He was just trying to be helpful, but why was he being called a pervert?
What kind of world is this! Has it been five years since he's been away, and women have become like this?
Ye Chen shook his head helplessly and walked towards the exit of the high-speed railway station. But when the tallest building in Jiangcheng appeared in front of him, he suddenly stopped.
He raised his head, his eyes as sharp as an eagle's, and muttered:
"Jiangcheng! I, Ye Chen, have finally returned! Five years ago, at the banquet in Yunhu Villa, my Ye family was wiped out, leaving me as the sole survivor. If it weren't for my mother's last effort to push me into Dongqian Lake, perhaps there would be no Ye family in Jiangcheng anymore!"
As he said this, Ye Chen's fists suddenly clenched, and a powerful aura spread in all directions, making the tourists around him feel as if an invisible hand was choking their throats!
In an instant, it was like hell!
"Zhao Chenghao! Wan Qiang! Zhou Zhenglong! And those who coldly watched my parents being killed! You must not know that I, Ye Chen, am still alive!"
"Perhaps I should thank you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been saved by my master, and I wouldn't have returned with the power to move heaven and earth and make ghosts weep!"
"This time, I swear, anyone related to that incident, I will make you pay a thousand times over!"
...
A few seconds later, Ye Chen finally released his grip, hailed a taxi, and headed towards the city center.
If it had been a few seconds later, the passers-by behind him might not have been spared.
Along the way, memories kept emerging, and Ye Chen was in so much pain that he almost suffocated.
He was born into a big family with no worries about food and clothing. Although he was always called a waste by people in the circle, the three of them were also happy.
But it was that gathering at Yunhu Villa five years ago! His life trajectory changed completely!
His father offended a man from the capital in order to save a little girl!
The man was furious! He slapped his father's face and killed him in front of countless people!
Throughout the whole process, no one stood up to stop it!
Including those families that once flattered the Ye family!
Including those friends of his father in the past!
Even including his uncle whom he had always trusted!
He was crazy, he struggled, and he even picked up a steak knife and rushed at the man!
But in the end, he was stopped by the man with one hand!
He clearly remembered the man's indifferent eyes and cold words:
"Jiangcheng Ye family? What is it? Even if you are a family from the capital, I can destroy it with one hand! And you, this unworthy little thing, I heard that you are a well-known waste here? Hehe, do you still want to kill me? Even if you are given a hundred years, it won't change the fact that you are a waste!"
Unexpectedly, a woman rushed over at this moment, using all her strength to push the young man into Dongqian Lake!
As he fell into the lake, the young man watched his mother rush towards the man!
With a determination to die.
Ye Chen thought his life was over, but he didn't expect to be saved by an old man downstream of Dongqian Lake.
The old man took him to a secluded place, taught him the supreme alchemy method, and taught him to cultivate the "Nine Heavens Xuanyang Jue".
During these five years, in that ethereal place, no one knew what happened to Ye Chen.
Only one devil emerged out of nowhere, codenamed Bloodthirsty Dragon!
Jiangcheng Huamei Group.
Ye Chen looked at the note in his hand, then at the sign on the gate, and only after making sure it was the right place did he walk in.
This time, he had originally planned to go directly to the capital to find the man who had appeared at Yunhu Villa. After all, for the past five years, the person he most wanted to kill was this man. As for clues about this person, all he knew was that people around him called him "Dragon Master," and that he was from the capital, with everything else being a blank.
However, just as he was about to leave, the old man insisted that he must first go to Jiangcheng to find a girl named Xia Ruoxue.
The old man had once traveled to Jiangcheng and had some romantic and bitter entanglements with Xia Ruoxue's grandmother. Ye Chen even suspected that Xia Ruoxue might be the old man's granddaughter.
Three days ago, the old man used the Heavenly Mechanism to break through the array and discovered that Xia Ruoxue would face a great disaster within a hundred days, and this disaster was very likely to cause her to perish. Ye Chen's fate pattern happened to be the "Purple Qi Sleeping Dragon" pattern, which even the heavenly path could not detect, so to break the situation, there was no other way except for Ye Chen.
As for how to break the situation, the old man never mentioned it, just letting Ye Chen take it one step at a time.
"Stop!"
Suddenly, a cold voice rang out. Ye Chen saw two burly men, each over six feet tall, blocking his way. Both were dressed in security uniforms, with tanned skin and piercing eyes. Their bulging arm muscles were visually striking.
Ye Chen raised an eyebrow, naturally not intending to get physical with these security guards. He explained, "Hello, I'm looking for Xia Ruoxue."
One of the guards, upon hearing the name Xia Ruoxue, sneered, "You're looking for Ms. Xia? Just you? Hah, do you have an appointment?"
"No," Ye Chen replied honestly.
"Then do you have a work ID from Huamei Group?"
"Nor that either."
Hearing this, the guard's arrogance grew even more pronounced. He looked down at Ye Chen condescendingly, pointed to the door, and said disdainfully, "Since you have neither, that's the door. Please leave!"
As one of the top 500 companies in Huaxia and a leading enterprise in Jiangcheng, Huamei Group's security guards naturally felt superior.
They didn't need to please anyone, just expel such idle people!
At that moment, several men in suits and ties got out of a Mercedes E200. They first went to the front desk to inquire, seemingly also looking for Xia Ruoxue. The result they received was naturally the same as Ye Chen's. The men shook their heads, pondered for a few seconds, and ultimately chose to wait on the nearby sofa.
Ye Chen also didn't plan to get entangled with the two security guards. He pointed to the sofa in the lobby and said, "In that case, I'll wait over there."
With that, he headed straight for the sofa.
However, he hadn't taken a few steps before he was blocked again by the two security guards.
"Kid, are you deaf or something? Don't make me say it a third time. That's the door. Get out!" one of the guards shouted aggressively, pointing at the door.
Ye Chen frowned deeply. He had just arrived in Jiangcheng and didn't seem to have offended these two guys. Was it necessary to keep making things difficult?
Then, he pointed to the men in suits and asked, "Why can they wait while seated, but I can't?"
One of the guards looked Ye Chen up and down, sneering, "You, a country bumpkin, want to see Ms. Xia? Don't you look at yourself in the mirror first. Get out. If you don't leave, do you believe I'll throw you out?"
Ye Chen shook his head helplessly. He understood that these two security guards were acting big because of their position. Clearly, his attire didn't match the standard for waiting while seated!
He didn't expect that after five years, Jiangcheng was still the same Jiangcheng!
"What if I don't want to leave?" Ye Chen's expression darkened.
"Stay? I think you're looking for trouble!"
As the words fell, one of the security guards slapped his hand on Ye Chen's shoulder, his arm veins bulging!
A cruel smile appeared at the corner of his mouth because as long as he exerted a little force, the thin young man in front of him would surely be thrown out three meters away!
Just a few days ago, a similar country bumpkin challenged his authority, and he was thrown out with one hand, still lying in the hospital!
The security guard's arm suddenly exerted force, but Ye Chen didn't budge!
Gradually, the security guard's smile solidified! His face turned to horror!
Because he found that the young man in front of him was like a mountain! Impossible to move!
At the same time, a sense of death spread along his arm to his back!
His whole body was drenched!
The other security guard noticed something was wrong with his partner and joked, "Shi Tou, you're not up to it, are you? Sweating so much in broad daylight, did your wife drain you last night? Or should I do it?"
With that, his hand also reached for Ye Chen.
"Get out of here! I don't want to kill anyone."
Suddenly, Ye Chen's cold voice rang out, like a thunderclap!
At the same time, his left foot slightly stomped, and a gust of air appeared around him, directly hitting the two security guards!
The two only felt a powerful force hit their chests, unable to hold back any longer, they spat out a mouthful of blood and flew out!
Finally, their bodies slammed into the tempered glass in the lobby!
"Boom!"
The entire pane of glass collapsed with a loud crash!
