Chapter 1009:
Boom…
Suddenly, a violent explosion erupted from the secluded sanctuary of the Temple of the Gods. The blast almost scared the souls out of the Red Robed Sect Leader and Brofei. Brofei exclaimed, “Oh my God, the place of seclusion exploded. Grandma, has something happened to Grandma?”
“Quick, go and check it out!” the Red Robed Sect Leader immediately said.
Saying this, the two of them swiftly rushed towards the site of seclusion. When they arrived, more than a dozen Church Guards were encircled around the scene, dust rising into the air. The guards were clearing the area, and the Red Robed Sect Leader hurriedly charged inside where the Old Madam was walking out, hair disheveled from the dust.
Cough cough cough…
The Old Madam was choking on the dust. She gritted her teeth and said, “Damn it, how could this happen!”
“Grandma, what happened?” the Red Robed Sect Leader urgently asked.
“Nothing!” the Old Madam shook her head and said, “Just a bit too much force while breaking the barrier. Sigh…”
“Are you injured?” Brofei and the Red Robed Sect Leader supported the Old Madam. She patted the dust off herself and shook her head, saying, “I’m fine, just a bit dirty, nothing else is wrong. Don’t treat me like an injured person. Just prepare some water for a bath and find me a clean set of clothes!”
“Brofei, quickly prepare for Grandma!” the Red Robed Sect Leader urgently commanded.
“Yes!” Brofei eagerly nodded.
The Old Madam failed to break the barrier again. As the frequency of attempts increases, the risks she faces later will get bigger. She is deeply aware of her condition, so she is eager to break through the Demon Barrier within herself. Once crossed, it’s a wide-open sea; if not, her willpower will be devoured by the Heart Demon.
The Old Madam retreated once again and quickly turned her attention back to Ye Chen’s situation. Especially concerning the execution of her commands. After the Red Robed Sect Leader briefed the current situation, the Old Madam hopelessly said, “Yanzi, you’ve let me down too much. I didn’t expect you’d be so useless!”
“Grandma, Yanzi knows she was wrong!” The Red Robed Sect Leader immediately knelt down to plead, saying, “Please revoke the title of Red Clothes Great Master.”
“Sigh, forget it!” The Old Madam shook her head and said, “I know your difficulties. Ye Chen is indeed formidable. However, you’re too cautious. I’m giving you a few more days. Within these days, you must kill Ye Chen for me. Dead or alive, I need to see him.”
“I…” The Red Robed Sect Leader felt conflicted. She really didn’t want to be against Ye Chen, yet had to face such a result regardless. She’d rather not be the Red Robed Sect Leader than become enemies with Ye Chen, who held significant importance in her heart. If she had to kill Ye Chen, she’d rather die first.
Seeing her hesitance, the Old Madam looked at her perplexedly, then said, “Yanzi, you’ve changed!”
“Huh?” The Red Robed Sect Leader was stunned.
“Yes, you’ve changed!” The Old Madam took a deep breath and said, “In the past, you were never so indecisive; you always executed my orders resolutely. Yet now you’ve changed; have you fallen for Ye Chen?”
“No, no, I haven’t!” she shook her head frantically and said, “I… I definitely don’t like him. If Grandma doesn’t believe it, I’ll kill him tomorrow!”
“Good, show your courage to prove yourself!” The Old Madam gave her a deep look and then said, “You haven’t proven yourself in a long time!”
“Yes, Grandma!” the Red Robed Sect Leader pretended to be resolute.
Does she really have to kill Ye Chen? Can she really bring herself to do it? No matter what, the Old Madam’s orders must be executed. However, the Red Robed Sect Leader doesn’t know specifically how to execute them. Fake it till you make it, the next day, the Red Robed Sect Leader set off for Ottawa, deciding to have a showdown with Ye Chen.
Sunset City’s construction was proceeding vigorously; the inner city’s construction was nearing completion, and the outer city’s construction had begun. After a massive battle, the outer city’s construction was devastated beyond repair. This time, Ye Chen decided to further expand the outer city. As for funds, there was no need to worry. Any lack of money would be taken care of by the Prime Minister of Jia Government, who was completely under his control.
“Brother Chen, no… something bad happened!” Feng Zhixiao hurriedly came running, quickly heading in Ye Chen’s direction.
“What happened?” Ye Chen, wearing a hard hat, was busying himself with work inside and out. He suddenly saw Feng Zhixiao looking so panic-stricken and was surprised. Knowing Feng Zhixiao well, he wouldn’t panic even under enormous pressure.
“The Church Court… the Red Clothes Great Master is here!” Feng Zhixiao shouted urgently, “She… she named you, saying she’s here to kill you!”
“Hmm?” Ye Chen was stunned and asked in confusion, “Are you sure you didn’t see the wrong person?”
“No… I didn’t see wrong!” Feng Zhixiao shook his head urgently and said, “She’s the woman in red clothes, we’ve met before. Even if she were turned to ash, I’d recognize her!”
“Damn, what are we waiting for? Let’s go meet her now!” Ye Chen jumped down from the wall, threw the tools he was holding on the ground, then jumped into the car and sped off down the inner city highway directly towards the outer city.
The Red Robed Sect Leader, accompanied by more than a dozen Church Guards, arrived at the scene and set up an attacking formation outside the city. At that moment, a black car was speeding towards the outer city, soon arriving at the city gate. The Red Robed Sect Leader stood there in fiery red attire, waiting for Ye Chen to arrive. Ye Chen leaped out of the car, looked at her calmly, and smiled, “Yo, Red Robed Sect Leader, we meet again?”
“Hmph, I honestly didn’t want to see you!” The red-clothed woman emitted a voice full of disdain.
“Is that so?” Ye Chen laughed heartily and said, “Then why travel such a great distance to find me?”
“It’s to eliminate you!” The Red Robed Sect Leader coldly replied.
“Eliminate me?” Ye Chen was puzzled at first, then chuckled and laughed loudly, “I say, Sect Leader, can you not make such internationally goofy jokes? I really can’t take it!”
“You… don’t take my words as a joke!” The Red Robed Sect Leader’s face flushed red with anger, and she gritted her teeth, saying, “Otherwise, you’ll only know regret when you lose your life!”
“Come on, I’m curious to see how you plan to kill me!” Ye Chen grinned widely.
“Hmph!” The red-clothed woman raised a pink dagger and flung it at Ye Chen. He dodged sideways and caught the dagger, sniffed it lightly and said, “Hmm, truly fragrant. I didn’t expect you to use a pink dagger. How about leaving this dagger as a keepsake for me?”
“Go to hell!” The Red Robed Sect Leader snorted coldly and lunged at Ye Chen. Ye Chen shouted, “Good move!”
The red-clothed woman’s eyes flashed a trace of reluctance, but she still raised the knife in her hands, fiercely stabbing at Ye Chen. Ye Chen grinned and said, “You are too merciful; your movements are too hesitant. Can’t tell if you’re not willing to kill me or just naturally slow!”
Ye Chen not only dodged her move but managed to get behind her back, his lips near the Red Robed Sect Leader’s ear, whispering, “With your vigilance, it’s hard to say how you’d die without even knowing.”
“You…” The Red Robed Sect Leader became fiercely enraged, then launched a powerful back kick, visibly faster than before. Ye Chen laughed heartily, “That’s better! Don’t let me look down on you!”
With that, the two continued to tangle together, engaging in a fierce fight. Ye Chen never intended to kill her but constantly teased her. The Red Robed Sect Leader realized Ye Chen’s intentions and was extremely angry; she was fuming and puffing her cheeks, cute and yet somewhat sexy. This made Ye Chen even more reluctant to kill her. Despite her efforts to unleash all her skills, she couldn’t land a single hit on Ye Chen.
The Red Robed Sect Leader fully immersed herself in rage, her calm and rationality chased away by Ye Chen. She didn’t consider the essence of the matter: Why did Ye Chen’s strength increase so dramatically within just one year? Before, he wasn’t her match, and during the time in Japan, he required her help to save him. Now, his strength surpassed hers. The Red Robed Sect Leader overlooked this, convinced that Ye Chen’s evasive skills prevented her success.
“You bastard, if you have the guts, fight me openly!” The Red Robed Sect Leader said angrily.
“Pft, that’s the action of a fool!” Ye Chen grinned and said, “If I were you, I’d surely beg for mercy, and perhaps plead to marry me!”
“Then do you dare to marry me?” The Red Robed Sect Leader’s cheeks already turned pink, the blush extending from her face to the ears. Fortunately, her face was covered, so Ye Chen couldn’t see her expressions. Ye Chen thought the Red Robed Sect Leader was teasing him, so he playfully replied, “Why wouldn’t I dare? Why not head to the bridal chamber today? Nothing else matters, it’s all about heading to the bridal chamber! Haha, simple as that, straight to the chamber!”
With that, Ye Chen turned and shouted to his brothers behind him, “Brothers, greet your sister-in-law!”
“Sister-in-law, Sister-in-law!!” The voices were indeed loud. These guys knew Ye Chen was teasing the Red Robed Sect Leader, so they joined in the fun. Their voices especially resonated. This startled both the Red Robed Sect Leader and those guys from the Church Court.
