The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 1402 - 1393: No Matter What, He Must Die

"Father, don’t listen to this kid’s nonsense. The various formations on the city walls were carved by twenty formation experts. This kid only has the power of the Peak of the fifth level of Ocean Gathering Realm. He clearly wants to delay time," Xue Ao said to his father Xue Liyang.

Gui Xiongtian also hurriedly said, "Clan Leader, the young master is correct. This kid definitely doesn’t understand any formations."

Feng Lengyao similarly agreed, "Clan Leader, don’t be deceived by this kid."

Upon hearing the advice from Xue Ao and others, Xue Liyang’s expression subtly changed. He looked at the confident Ye Chenfeng and said, "As he said, the restriction here cannot be broken easily. In our current situation, it might really take a hundred years to break the formation and truly leave here. I cannot wait any longer. Do you still wish to stay here for a hundred years?"

"Our strength has severely regressed, and we don’t have enough cultivator souls to refine for power. I’m afraid many in Blood Soul City won’t live to see the formation broken."

After hearing Xue Liyang’s words, Xue Ao and others remained silent. They certainly did not want to be trapped here for a hundred years. They were eager to revive the Blood Soul Clan, and Ye Chenfeng was now their only hope.

Seeing Xue Ao and others silent, Xue Liyang continued, "I don’t want to miss any sliver of hope, even if that hope is very, very faint."

Then, Xue Liyang looked at Ye Chenfeng who was supported by the Black Xuan Sword and said, "As long as you can help our Blood Soul Clan break the formation, we can spare your life. If you can’t break the formation, you should know the result, right?"

With most of the meridians in his body burnt and shattered, Ye Chenfeng endured the severe pain and said calmly, "Give me two months. I need to prepare and study these formations thoroughly."

Xue Liyang, at the Peak of the fifth level of Creation Realm, replied resolutely, "I can only give you one month."

Ye Chenfeng could see that Xue Liyang wouldn’t budge any further; one month was enough time for him to devise a plan. Thus, he said, "Fine, one month it is."

Then, Ye Chenfeng asked, "How did you all get sealed here? Wasn’t the ancient war, where the Righteous Path, Demonic Path, and Devil’s Path joined forces, unable to defeat you?"

"Humph!"

Xue Liyang snorted coldly and said, "If it wasn’t for the union of the Righteous Path, Demonic Path, and Devil’s Path, our Blood Soul Clan would have been the rulers of this world long ago. It seems you know quite a bit about our Blood Soul Clan. Let me tell you about that war!"

"Back then, the Righteous Path, Demonic Path, and Devil’s Path gathered ten thousand powerful warriors, and we of the Blood Soul Clan also had a full ten thousand powerful warriors. The battle lasted a year, with experts falling every day."

"Until finally, both sides had very few experts left. As the Clan Leader of the Blood Soul Clan, I led the remaining members into Blood Soul City to recuperate, while those from the Righteous Path, Demonic Path, and Devil’s Path chased us outside Blood Soul City."

"However, they couldn’t attack into Blood Soul City immediately. In the end, they despicably gathered twenty formation experts who were extremely proficient in formations. They collectively formed a super strong sealing formation. After setting up the sealing formation, those twenty formation experts exhausted themselves and died."

"Moreover, activating that sealing formation required immense power, costing the lives of over a hundred strong warriors from the Righteous Path, Demonic Path, and Devil’s Path."

"Once that sealing formation was activated, the entire Blood Soul City was instantly sealed away, even I wasn’t spared. We were sealed for countless years! This grudge must be avenged by our Blood Soul Clan."

Ye Chenfeng inwardly scoffed at Xue Liyang’s words. The Blood Soul Clan’s practice of the Blood Soul Art, which involves refining cultivators’ souls to boost strength, seemed deserving of their fate to Ye Chenfeng. However, he showed no expression on his face.

Ye Chenfeng pointed to Shui Ziyan and others nearby and said, "They are my friends. We need a place to rest."

Xue Liyang furrowed his brows and said, "For you, I can arrange a place to stay within Blood Soul City. But your friends cannot enter Blood Soul City. If you break the formation quickly, you and your friends can leave here safely."

"However, during our agreed month, I can guarantee your friends won’t be in any danger."

Given Xue Liyang’s assurances, Ye Chenfeng felt he couldn’t ask for more. As long as Shui Ziyan and the others were temporarily safe, it was fine. He then pointed to Ning Xuesong and others and said, "I want to kill those few."

Not far away, Ning Xuesong and others trembled violently upon hearing Ye Chenfeng’s words. They initially thought Ye Chenfeng would surely die at the hands of Xue Liyang and others, yet now Ye Chenfeng had actually reached an agreement with them? This made them feel dizzy, as if they might faint at any moment. Ye Chenfeng’s battle prowess was formidable enough, but his eloquence unexpectedly resolved a situation that should have been fatal with mere words?

Xue Liyang shook his head and said, "You cannot kill those people, but they won’t live much longer."

"Our Blood Soul Clan has a Blood Sacrifice Method, which requires a live sacrifice every twenty days. They are intended for the blood sacrifice, and of course, if the formation isn’t broken in a month, you and your friends will become our blood sacrifices."

Ning Xuesong and others turned pale as walls just freshly painted upon hearing Xue Liyang’s words. Their minds went blank. The Blood Sacrifice Method is extremely vicious; the process is excruciatingly painful, ultimately leading the soul and body to vanish from this world entirely.

Not long after Xue Liyang’s words, more than ten robust men walked out from Blood Soul City, each carrying a large iron cage. These men were all at the level of Divine Thought Realm.

They moved the iron cages next to Shui Ziyan and Ning Xuesong and others, locked them all inside, and then closed the doors. Runes were carved on these cages, making it impossible for even an expert at the Peak of the fifth level of Divine Thought Realm to escape from inside.

"There are still over a hundred Blood Soul Clan members in this Blood Soul City. You can enter the city now; I’ve arranged a place for you," Xue Liyang said to Ye Chenfeng.

Ye Chenfeng gave Shui Ziyan and others a reassuring look, and under the guidance of one of the men who had carried the cages, he slowly walked towards Blood Soul City.

After Ye Chenfeng entered Blood Soul City.

Xue Ao asked, "Father, if this kid can actually break the formation, are we really going to let him go?"

Xue Liyang’s face was suddenly filled with Evil Qi and he said, "Do you think your father is soft-hearted? Our Blood Soul Clan has been branded as irredeemable by the Righteous Path, Demonic Path, and Devil’s Path. Such irredeemable people rely on trust?"

"Furthermore, except for our Blood Soul Clan, no one from the Righteous Path, Demonic Path, or Devil’s Path has ever set foot in Blood Soul City, and that’s still true today. Whether this kid can break the formation or not, he must die."

Xue Ao extended his crimson tongue, licking his lips indulgently, and said, "Father, let me be the one to take care of this kid. As my prey, I will never let him escape my grasp. Besides, this kid is nothing more than a pest."

Xue Liyang spoke in such a low voice that those in the cages far away, like Shui Ziyan and others, couldn’t hear any of their conversation.

From past to present, those who wished to trap Ye Chenfeng were ultimately trapped by Ye Chenfeng instead. Will this time be the same again?
