Chapter 569: Japan Seeks Help, Night Demon’s Whereabouts!
At the Dragon Soul Sect’s headquarters’ training room, Ye Chen and Niu Qingshan sat across each other.
Niu Qingshan took a good look at Ye Chen. He looked grim, “I’ve received news that the Heavenly Palace is looking for two people recently. One of them is the little girl you told me to look for last time!”
“Qianqian?”
Ye Chen’s expression froze!
“That’s right!”
Niu Qingshan nodded and said, “It’s that little girl Qianqian. Apart from her, the other person is a lunatic. That’s why I asked the rest to leave so that I can talk to you privately!”
“Why is the Heavenly Palace looking for these two people?” Ye Chen frowned.
“Why else?”
Niu Qingshan smiled coldly, “That junior brother of mine wants to be Shang Santian’s slave. Obviously, he has received orders from them. In other words, Shang Santian is looking for these two people!”
He paused for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, “That little girl with you isn’t simple. I’ve secretly investigated, and I found out that the little girl appeared once 50 years ago!”
Ye Chen secretly nodded.
Qianqian’s background was rather mysterious and her body was rather special. Especially after meeting Shi Qianhan once, he realized that Qianqian was not as simple as she looked.
After all, a little girl had appeared once 50 years ago. Why did her body not grow after 50 years, and why did she often forget about the past?
Niu Qingshan continued, “The ghost ship appeared 50 years ago. Countless powerhouses entered the ship, and only two of them managed to come out alive. The others were left on the ship forever, whether they were alive or dead!”
He took a good look at Ye Chen, “The two people who came out alive are the targets the Heavenly Palace is looking for!”
“Are you saying that Qianqian walked out of the ghost ship alive?” Ye Chen’s expression froze. He was shocked.
Even though he and the Patriarch of Hell had all sorts of guesses about Qianqian’s identity, they never expected a five-year-old girl like Qianqian to be connected to the ghost ship!
“Yes, that’s her!”
Niu Qingshan nodded and said, “At that time, the people that remained outside didn’t know what was on the ghost ship, nor did they know what had happened. They only knew that their own people didn’t get out, so all the various forces wanted to capture those two and investigate the secrets within!
For that, a great battle broke out between the various forces. Countless experts died. When everyone unanimously decided to capture those two before distributing them, the old man went berserk all of a sudden!”
At this point, he could not help but inhale sharply, “In the eyes of all the powerhouses, that old man and that little girl are like fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others. Who would’ve thought that the old man would lead the little girl into the midst of so many powerhouses, and no one was able to stop them!
At that time, he had killed almost all the powerhouses from Shang Santian who had entered the world. In fact, he had killed more than three martial venerables. The rest of the powerhouses were innumerable!”
Ye Chen said in a deep voice, “What happened after that?”
“Later on, when Shang Santian sent out more powerhouses. They discovered that the old man and the young girl had disappeared. It was as if they had vanished into thin air. The people from Shang Santian tried everything they could, but they could not find them. Given that the powerhouses of China were fighting them, the people from Shang Santian retreated unwillingly!”
Niu Qingshan slightly shook his head and said, “Later on, some people said that the old man and the young girl were ghosts and devils that came out of the ghost ship. Some said that they were powerhouses who died on the ghost ship and came back to life. After 50 years, everyone has almost forgotten about them.”
Ye Chen’s expression changed slightly as he digested the information secretly.
“Kid, when everyone had almost forgotten about them, the little girl appeared again, and she’s with you now!”
Niu Qingshan raised his eyes and looked at him firmly, “So, your time is ticking. Once her whereabouts are exposed, you will become the target of everyone. You will face the entire Shang Santian!”
“Are you trying to persuade me not to take her in? Or are you going to hand her over to Shang Santian?” Ye Chen said.
“That’s right!”
Niu Qingshan nodded and said, “Strictly speaking, this little girl has nothing to do with you. I won’t hand her over to Shang Santian, but you can let her go and let her fend for herself!
For you to possess such strength at such a young age, it’s enough to prove that your talent is extraordinary. If you were given some time, it would not be impossible for you to grow to the point where Shang Santian would revere you. However, there’s no time!”
He sighed softly, “The ghost ship is about to appear. It’s already inevitable for Shang Santian to enter the world. If you’re targeted by everyone, even I can’t protect you!”
“Thank you for your kind intentions!”
Gleams were flashing in Ye Chen’s eyes. Subsequently, he said, “Your suggestion isn’t bad. Unfortunately, I’ve promised someone to take care of Qianqian for him. I, Ye Chen, have never made promises easily in my life. However, once I do, I’ll definitely fulfill them!”
This was the agreement between him and Shi Qianhan!
He would take care of Qianqian for a month!
Meanwhile, Shi Qianhan was responsible for finding out Wushuang’s whereabouts!
A gentleman never goes back on his word!
Moreover, even without this agreement, he could not abandon Qianqian after taking her in and fearing the existence of Shang Santian!
He would never forget that the girl who was wearing tattered clothes and ragged shoes walked down the street with her head lowered. She was so hungry that she reached out to the passersby to ask for food.
The little girl felt inferior!
She did not dare to look directly at the passersby, afraid that she would be yelled at. The timid gaze hidden in her chest was just too sad!
“What about Shang Santian?” Niu Qingshan sighed.
“So what if Shang Santian discovered it?”
Ye Chen stood up slowly and walked to the door. He said in a powerful voice, “If Shang Santian dares to touch my people, I’ll kill ten of them, a hundred of them, 1,000 of them. I’ll kill until they tremble and surrender!”
“Perhaps you’re right!”
Niu Qingshan watched him leave, and a hint of age appeared on his face, “I’m old, seems like I’ve really aged. If I had your courage, China wouldn’t be like this…”
…
After leaving the Dragon Soul Sect’s headquarters, Ye Chen said to Lin Tai and Yang Tian who were following him, “I’ll give you guys a mission now. No matter what you do, you must find out about this person for me…”
He slowly told them about the old madman who had led Qianqian on a rampage 50 years ago and then disappeared.
“Alright!”
Lin Tai and Yang Tian nodded simultaneously!
At that moment, Ye Chen’s phone rang. He picked it up and realized that it was an international number. He frowned and picked it up eventually.
“M-Master, i-is that you?”
An excited voice came from the other side of the phone!
Ye Chen could not help but stop walking, “Chiba Yoshiko?”
“Master, i-it’s me!”
Chiba Yoshiko immediately bursted into tears, “Master, I’ve already found out what you wanted me to find out, but my family has discovered that I’m doing this. They’re pursuing me with the crime of treason. Master, s-save me!”
