Chapter 152: Defection!
The young man walked step by step in front of Elder Zhao.
Although Elder Zhao could not sense the young man’s aura, there was only one person who could appear in front of him and speak to him in this manner. That person was Ye Gu Cheng.
Elder Zhao looked at the person in front of him in shock and opened his mouth to say, “You are…Ye Gu Cheng!”
The young man in front of him was none other than Ye Chen.
After Ye Chen killed Elder Zhang, he went to the Alchemist Guild to stand guard. He was not so stupid as to wait for Elder Zhao to join forces with the Grandmaster of the Hundred Herb Hall and then come together to deal with him.
Ye Chen naturally would not do such a thankless task.
Therefore, after killing Elder Zhang, he came to kill this Elder Zhao. Killing them was equivalent to breaking the left and right arms of the Grandmaster of the Hundred Herb Hall. At that time, killing the Grandmaster of the Hundred Herb Hall would be much simpler.
At this moment, Elder Zhao looked at Ye Chen as if he was looking at a god of death.
His heart was extremely shaken.
“That’s right, I am!” Ye Chen did not hide anything.
At this moment, Elder Zhao’s heart was filled with terror. He understood that since Ye Gu Cheng wanted to destroy them one by one, why would he give him the time to meet up with the Hundred Herb Hall’s Grandmaster?
Elder Zhao looked at Ye Chen and asked, “I don’t understand one thing. You could have left this place, why did you still come back?”
Ye Chen smiled faintly and said, “In any case, I’ve already formed a grudge with all of you. No matter where I go, I’ll always be remembered by others. I don’t like the feeling of being remembered by others, so I came back to kill all of you. This way, I’ll feel more at ease.”
“You’re that confident in killing us? You must also know that we have a Grandmaster who’s at the peak of the Transcending Tribulation Realm!” Elder Zhao looked at Ye Chen and asked.
Ye Chen smiled and said, “To be honest, if the three of you work together, I’m afraid I won’t have a chance.
“That’s why I chose this strategy of attacking one by one. After I kill you, only the Grandmaster of the Hundred Herb Hall will be easy to deal with.”
“So, do you have any last words?” Ye Chen looked at Elder Zhao and asked.
Elder Zhao looked at Ye Chen.
He had no way out.
That day, he and Elder Zhang were no match for Ye Gu Cheng even if they joined hands. They could only run away.
Now, he was the only one left. He was probably no match for Ye Gu Cheng.
What could he do now?
Run away?
He was afraid that if Ye Gu Cheng was here, he would not be able to run away at all!
Fight with him, stall for time, and wait for the Grandmaster of the Hundred Herb Hall to arrive?
He denied it again.
With the character of the Grandmaster of the Hundred Herb Hall, he would not care about his own life. Even so, the Grandmaster of the Hundred Herb Hall would wait for him to fight with Ye Gu Cheng and exhaust Ye Gu Cheng’s strength before he made a move.
Moreover, Ye Gu Cheng could kill the Grandmaster of the Zhang family instantly, so he must have some trump card.
Perhaps, he could also kill him in an instant.
No, it was not just him.
Since the Zhang family had been exterminated, with Ye Gu Cheng’s character, he would definitely exterminate his Alchemist Guild.
Although half of his Alchemist Guild’s disciples had died, there were still half of his disciples.
He could not bear to see them die tragically in Ye Chen’s hands.
Therefore, he immediately knelt in front of Ye Chen and said, “If I submit to you, can you not touch our Alchemist Guild?”
Ye Chen looked at this Alchemist Guild’s President and was somewhat surprised in his heart.
This president had some wisdom. He knew that he could not leave, so he submitted to him?
“Ye Gu Cheng, I don’t have a great enmity with you. Although you killed many disciples of my Alchemist Guild, that was only because we surrounded you.
“Although I have hatred toward you, now I understand that facing you, I can only die. Not only me, but I’m also afraid that you won’t let my entire Alchemist Guild off.
“Therefore, I have sworn an oath to the Heavenly Dao and become your servant. From now on, our entire Alchemist Guild will be under your command. I think that with the help of an expert at the Transcending Tribulation Realm and an Alchemist Guild…”
“This way, no matter what, it will be more cost-effective than you killing me.
“Or, if you don’t need me, I will make the entire Alchemist Guild surrender. After you kill me, can you not kill them?”
Elder Zhao knelt in front of Ye Chen and said.
Ye Chen looked at Elder Zhao with some surprise.
He did not expect that Elder Zhao would actually say such words.
From these words, it could be seen that Elder Zhao was a smart person.
However, what he said was also right.
He had no great enmity with the Alchemist Guild.
He had killed the people from the knowledge Zhang family and the Hundred Herb Hall, and the people from the Alchemist Guild had only been killed by him when they had come to surround him.
He did not have a great enmity with the Alchemist Guild.
It was not a bad thing to have another Transcending Tribulation Realm helper.
Perhaps, he could even borrow Elder Zhao’s hand to kill that Hundred Herb Hall’s Grandmaster.
The Hundred Herb Hall’s Grandmaster was very powerful. Although he had a 70-80% chance of killing him, it was not 100%.
However, with Elder Zhao’s help, Ye Chen had a 100% chance of killing him.
Ye Chen nodded and said, “Alright, I can agree to it. However, you have to make a Heavenly Dao oath first!”
