The woman rose into the sky more than ten meters high and looked down at Ye Chen condescendingly, "My name is Yan Qingcheng!"
"Where is R.I.P.?"
Ye Chen didn't care what the other person's name was, he just got to the point.
"She's in our hands!"
Yan Qingcheng smiled gently.
"So you're not the only one?"
Ye Chen frowned.
Subconsciously, I tapped out my senses and sensed the surrounding situation.
Sure enough, there are at least a few vague auras around, all of which are very deep and should be of high cultivation.
"Ye Chen, actually we have been secretly observing you for a long time!"
Yan Qingcheng was suspended in mid-air and said with a half-smile, "It's just that you never knew it!"
"Have you been observing me secretly?"
Ye Chen's expression condensed, "When did it start?"
"When you were still in Haoshan!"
"So early?"
Ye Chen couldn't help but be a little shocked.
You must know that it has been at least a year since he left Haoshan.
If the other party had been secretly observing him since Haoshan, wouldn't it mean that everything he did along the way was under the surveillance of these people?
Just thinking about it makes his scalp numb!
You must know that I have always thought that unless absolutely necessary, he would always keep a low profile.
I thought that there must be very few people who know my true identity.
I never expected that the hiding method I was so proud of would turn into a joke at this moment.
"Then what is your purpose?"
"And why are you holding An Xi hostage?"
In anger, Ye Chen roared.
"Don't get excited..."
Yan Qingcheng waved her delicate hand and reminded her unhurriedly: "Don't forget, we still have peace in our hands!"
"Then what's your purpose of bringing me here?"
Ye Chen asked.
“It’s easy!”
Yan Qingcheng mysteriously pointed at the regicide sword in Ye Chen's hand, "We want the regicide sword in your hand!"
"oh?
Do you want the Regicide Sword?”
Ye Chen raised his eyebrows, "If you want it, I'll give it to you!"
As he spoke, he prepared to throw the regicide sword.
But Yan Qingcheng shook her head, "Stop playing tricks. Do you think I am a three-year-old child? Am I so easily fooled?"
Ye Chen's movements froze.
He really wanted to throw the Regicide Sword and then control it from the air to capture Yan Qingcheng in one fell swoop.
Unexpectedly, the other party was not fooled at all.
"Didn't you say you wanted the Regicide Sword?"
He shrugged, "I'm giving it to you now, but you don't want it?"
"We do want it, but the premise is that you destroy the spiritual sea!"
Yan Qingcheng smiled slightly.
The smile seemed to be as beautiful as a flower, but when it fell into Ye Chen's eyes, it was no different from a devil's smile.
Destroy the spiritual sea!
Wouldn't that be tantamount to sacrificing one's own cultivation?
This is what he relies on to survive in this world!
Once it is abolished, he will be unable to move forward from now on.
"Who the hell are you?"
Ye Chen did not do as he was told, but instead stared coldly at Yan Qingcheng, who was suspended in mid-air.
"Now that things have come to this, it doesn't hurt to tell you!"
Yan Qingcheng smiled mysteriously and said: "We come from the abyss of sin!"
"The abyss of sin?"
Ye Chen seemed to understand something in an instant, and said thoughtfully: "So, you are related to Emperor Haoran?"
According to the text left by Emperor Haoran, the Regicide Sword was stolen from the Abyss of Sin.
Since these people come from the abyss of sin and have secretly observed me for so long, they must have something to do with Emperor Haoran.
"That's right!"
Yan Qingcheng was noncommittal, "Since you are so curious, it doesn't hurt to tell you. We are the law enforcers of the abyss of sin!"
"What enforcer?"
Ye Chen was baffled by what he heard.
He had rarely heard of the Abyss of Sin, let alone the law enforcers.
"The so-called law enforcers are those who maintain the order of the Abyss of Sin, and Emperor Haoran is the criminal who escaped from the Abyss of Sin!"
Yan Qingcheng explained patiently: "As law enforcers, it is our unshirkable responsibility to bring Emperor Haoran, the fugitive, to justice, and to recover the regicide sword he stole!"
"I have a question!"
Ye Chen said in surprise: "Since you discovered that I had obtained the Regicide Sword left by Emperor Haoran as early as in Haoshan, why didn't you snatch it back then instead of waiting until now?"
When I got the Regicide Sword, my cultivation level was far from that high.
It stands to reason that if the opponent snatches it at that time, it will definitely be a matter of success.
but……
The other party actually waited until now!
Are you too confident?
Or is there some conspiracy that I don't know about?
"I think you should know it very well without me saying it!"
Yan Qingcheng pointed out: "The Regicide Swordman is extremely violent. We just want to wait until you have exhausted your violent energy and then take it back!"
"I see!"
Ye Chen suddenly realized.
Indeed, the regicide sword contained so much viciousness that he was killed by the backlash several times.
Even now, we are still facing the risk of backlash at any time.
And this was the reason why he consumed a lot of violent energy in the Regicide Sword.
Otherwise, when you first obtain the Regicide Sword, the hostility contained in it will be even stronger. Even if an emperor-level powerhouse comes into contact with it, it will easily suffer backlash.
For the other party to wait until now to take action is equivalent to treating him as a personal maintenance tool.
"If you had taken action earlier, maybe I wouldn't have the strength to resist. It's a pity..."
Ye Chen shook his head and said meaningfully: "If my guess is correct, the reason why you took An An as a hostage is because you are afraid of my current strength, right?"
"You think too highly of yourself!"
Yan Qingcheng said disdainfully: "According to our observations, your current cultivation level should only be the ninth level of the emperor. Even if you hold the regicide sword in your hand, we are sure that we can defeat you!"
"Since you are sure to capture me, why bother holding An An as a hostage?"
Ye Chen said sarcastically.
Although he said it disapprovingly, he was a little wary in his heart.
Since the other party knows his level of cultivation, he must have reached at least the early stage of Quasi-Emperor.
"You don't need to use provocation against me. We are holding An Anxi hostage just as a precaution!"
Yan Qingcheng snorted coldly: "Since I showed up today, I am determined to get the Regicide Sword!"
"in addition……"
She took a deep breath and said patiently: "The Emperor Haoran you are talking about is a criminal in the Abyss of Sin. He not only stole the Regicide Sword, but also escaped from the Abyss of Sin privately!"
"As law enforcers in the abyss of crime, it is our duty to bring him to justice!"
"If you know what's going on, you'd better not go against us, otherwise it won't do you any good!"
These words sounded righteous, but Ye Chen suddenly asked, "Are law enforcers the embodiment of justice?"
"Of course!"
Yan Qingcheng nodded without thinking.
"Since you claim to be the incarnation of justice, how could you do such a dirty thing as taking hostages?"
As soon as these words came out, Yan Qingcheng was instantly speechless.
As if she didn't want to talk nonsense to Ye Chen anymore, she said angrily: "I will give you one last chance. Will you destroy Linghai, or do you want me to kill you?"
