Chapter 409: To the Dragon Soul’s Headquarters!

“You’re asking me to save someone?” Ye Chen came to a realization, then he glanced at Li Zewei who was next to Li Ying, but they were not sure whether he was smiling or not. “So, this is how you guys ask me for a favor?”

Li Zewei was enraged to hear that. Just when he was going to burst out in condemnation, Li Ying stopped him. “Mr. Ye, perhaps we had some misunderstanding before, but it was Old Chen who recommended us to come to you. We’re asking you in all sincerity.”

“Old Chen?” Ye Chen shook his head lightly and said, “I wonder who you guys are asking me to save.”

“We can’t tell you at the moment. Just follow us.” Li Ying shook her head, refusing to spill the information. She was being mysterious.

“Then, I’m sorry. Please see yourselves out!” Ye Chen shrugged.

“Ye!” Li Zewei, who had been holding it back, could no longer tolerate Ye Chen. “You’re just the No. 1 on the Heaven Leaderboard! What’s so great about that? We look up to you, hence we are inviting you. Are you coming with us or not?”

Even the Heavenly Palace would give face to the Dragon Soul’s invitation.

However, Ye had rejected them again and again!

Li Ying’s expression changed upon hearing that. However, she did not mediate the situation. Clearly, Ye Chen’s attitude had triggered the mature one in the Dragon Soul.

Ye Chen smiled calmly. “Firstly, you guys are here to ask me for a favor. You guys should mean it. Secondly, since you want me to save someone, stop being mysterious. Thirdly, whether I want to save this person or not all depends on me. Lastly, since your Dragon Soul is so powerful, why are you begging me?”

He walked outside without even turning his head as soon as he said that. He said to Lin Tai who was guarding at the door, “Send them out!”

Li Ying said immediately, “Mr. Ye, please stay. We’re asking you to save the Dragon King!”

Ye Chen proceeded walking as if he did not hear her. Li Ying spoke again, “The Dragon King is hurt. He’s hurt because of you!”

Ye Chen stopped walking and turned around to look at her. “He’s hurt because of me?”

“That’s right!” Li Ying dared not flaunt her identity any longer after having witnessed what Ye Chen was capable of doing. Instead, she nodded and said, “When you offended the Heavenly Palace earlier, we were assigned by the Dragon King to protect you. The Heavenly Palace’s Palace Master went to see the Dragon King later on.”

She paused as she spoke to this point, feeling rather furious. “The Dragon King fought the Heavenly Palace’s Palace Master, so both of them are injured, especially the Dragon King. He’s dying.”

She could never forget the day the old bull brought the Dragon King back. His body had been covered in blood while his aura had been dim. The Dragon Soul had exhausted all of their resources to save him. They had even gotten the Miracle Doctor Zhang from Wannan to save him, but the doctor could not do anything.

If the Dragon King was dead, there would be no leader in the Dragon Soul. The Heavenly Palace would definitely take the opportunity to destroy then. By then, there would be massive chaos in China.

“Let’s go!” Ye Chen turned around and walked outside.

Li Ying was stunned, but she went after him along with Li Zewei. She said in surprise, “Mr. Ye, so you’ve agreed to help?”

Ye Chen looked at her and said expressionlessly, “I didn’t agree to help because of your Dragon Soul, so stop overthinking this.”

It was not his first time hearing about the Dragon King. The Heavenly Palace came to attack him after he destroyed the Xue family earlier. Although Ye Chen was fearless of them, the Dragon King could be considered to have helped him during a critical time. Since that was the case, it was only natural for him to return the favor.

“I wonder how confident you are,” Li Zewei said doubtfully. He dared not trigger Ye Chen again after what happened earlier.

Li Ying could not help but look at him.

Ye Chen smiled calmly as if he was saying something ordinary, “I’m 100% confident as long as he’s still alive!”

Li Zewei secretly scoffed. Li Ying also could not help but shake her head.

100% confident? Which doctor would dare to say that? Even the Miracle Doctor Zhang from Wannan was only 30% confident.

It seemed like Ye Chen was a man of deceit.

At that moment, the duo was even more suspicious of Ye Chen’s ability.

Nonetheless, Ye Chen did not care what they thought about him. He walked out of the villa after speaking to Lin Tai. A green Jeep was parked outside. It must be Li Ying and Li Zewei who drove it here.

“Mr. Ye, are you not bringing your medicine box?” Li Ying could not help but frown and ask after noticing Ye Chen was going to heal someone empty-handedly.

“No need!” Ye Chen got into the car after saying that.

Li Ying secretly shook her head and looked at Li Zewei by instinct. The disappointment within her was growing.

“Let’s go!” Li Zewei spat out and drove the car onto the highway. An armored helicopter picked them up when they arrived in the suburbs.

…

The Dragon Soul was rather mysterious in the country as it was a highly confidential organization. Meanwhile, the base was even more mysterious. In the entire country, there were only a handful of people who knew its exact location.

The Taihang Mountains were also called the Wangmu Mountain and Wuhang Mountains. It stretched across four provinces and was located between Hebei and Jinxi. The Wangwu Mountain was on the south while it was connected to the Xishan Plateau on the west.

The Dragon Soul’s headquarters was located in the Taihang Mountains. According to Li Ying, who explained about the sect along the way, there were less than a hundred members in the entire sect. Therefore, it was small in the Taihang Mountains and was inconspicuous.

Even though the Dragon King was severely injured, the Dragon Soul’s base went on with their usual training. Many people were sitting lazily in the military field and they gathered to talk.

Meanwhile, there was a man with a square face in military uniform accompanying an old man. The old man was approximately in his 70s. However, he looked like he was merely 60 years old. He was high-spirited, and there was not a single gray hair on his head at all.

The man with the square face lifted his eyes to look at the noisy members. He would go over to condemn them usually, but he had no mood of doing that at such a moment.

He hesitated and looked at the old man next to him eventually. He could not help but ask, “Old Zhang, is there really no hope for our leader?”

“It’s difficult!” Old Zhang sighed softly. “The Dragon King is suffering from a severe injury. He has too much energy in his body. It’s a powerful energy that has gotten to his heart and lungs. If he moves around, he will trigger the energy. It will worsen by then. Given that he’s lost a lot of blood, he’s hopeless unless you guys can get Yao Huayuan from the Spiritual Medicine Mountain here.

“But I heard that Yao Huayuan doesn’t work with the government. Also, he’s old. I’m afraid he won’t get out easily.”

He paused as he spoke to this point. He shook his head lightly. “There might be hope if you guys had gotten me over here yesterday, but now…”

The man with the square face turned solemn instantly. There was faint fury on his face. “It was that lady, Li Ying’s fault. I suggested getting you here yesterday, but she said no. She said there must be other solutions to save the Dragon King.”

“I heard about that too.” Old Zhang smiled lightly. “Fellow Li went to get an expert. I hope the expert that she invites can do something about the situation.”

Although he said that, he was secretly in disdain. As Zhang Zhongjing’s descendant, he, Zhang Xuanyou, had learned medical skills since he was five and completed his apprenticeship when he was ten. He was known as the grandmaster of the generation at 50. In the entire China, only Yao Huayuan of the Spiritual Medicine Mountain could compare with him when it came to medical skills. How would others heal a sickness that even he could not heal?

“Let’s see when Li Ying returns. If there’s really no other solution, we can only get you to do it!” The man with the square face sighed.

A helicopter flew over from a distance when they were chatting. The man with the square face was over the moon as he exclaimed, “Li Ying and the rest have returned!”

However, his expression turned grim subsequently. “What’s wrong with Li Ying? I thought she was getting a miracle doctor over. Why did she bring a young man here?”
