Invincible Soul Emperor

Chapter 414 414: Little Beauty, Let Me Show You My Skills

Ye Qingchen probed the formation flags with his Soul Power and was astonished to find not a single trace of resistance. The vast space inside shocked him even more.

He then sent his Divine Sense into the flags and discovered that the vast space within contained extensive knowledge about formations. Not only were there various formation models inside, but these models could even be simulated to recreate the original appearance of the actual formations. For Ye Qingchen, this was practically a cheat code for comprehending formations.

Furthermore, Ye Qingchen also possessed the Immortal Array Canon. Paired with this set of formation flags, it was like adding wings to a tiger.

Ye Qingchen was secretly delighted. I'm so lucky. If anyone else knew the secrets these flags held, buying them for a mere five million Low-grade Spirit Stones would have been an impossible dream. This must be Qin Yue's doing. It's a fortune she deliberately left for me. With her expertise, she could ensure that no one else, even if they probed it with their Divine Sense, would ever discover the mysteries within.

With the aid of the flags, Ye Qingchen immersed himself in an ocean of formation knowledge, studying day and night to verify what he learned and enhance his strength.

「Three days later」

Wang Tianlin knocked on Ye Qingchen's door in a hurry. Although the three days of study had not been enough for Ye Qingchen to break through to a Second-Rank Array Master, his theoretical knowledge now far surpassed that of even a Fourth-Rank Array Master. However, an Array Master's rank was determined by the highest-rank formation they could personally deploy. Thus, while Ye Qingchen could now easily break a Fourth-Rank formation, he was still temporarily unable to create one himself.

Ye Qingchen opened the door. Seeing Wang Tianlin's anxious expression, he frowned and asked, "What happened?"

Wang Tianlin wiped the sweat from his forehead and said frantically, "Master Ye, it's terrible! The miss… the miss has been taken by Feng Yuan!"

"What did you say?" Ye Qingchen's frown deepened as he demanded loudly.

Wang Tianlin quickly explained, "Our miss went out to procure supplies and ran into Feng Yuan. He gave her a hard time, but since he's the city lord's son, she didn't want to cause a scene. But Feng Yuan only grew more aggressive and ended up seizing her! She's in his hands now, and I'm afraid she's in grave danger. Please, Master Ye, I implore you to save her!"

Ye Qingchen nodded for Wang Tianlin to lead the way. After putting away the formation flags in his room, he left with him.

「Meanwhile, inside a dilapidated house.」

Liu Wan'er looked around, puzzled. Why would Ye Qingchen ask me to meet him here?

This was an extremely secluded corner of the city. The area was so remote that no one ever set foot here, an oddity in a bustling place like Northern Barrier City, where every inch of land was as precious as gold.

This place is so strange. If Wang Tianlin hadn't told me Ye Qingchen was waiting for me, I never would have known a place like this even existed in the city.

"Little beauty, are you waiting for someone?" a voice called out, followed by a series of lewd chuckles from behind her.

Liu Wan'er turned to see Feng Yuan approaching with four tall, brawny men, all of them wearing lecherous grins.

She instinctively took two steps back, forcing herself to remain calm. "Young Master Feng, you're here too. What a coincidence."

Feng Yuan roared with laughter. "A coincidence? Of course, it's a coincidence. Let me tell you, the only reason you're here is that I had Wang Tianlin trick you into coming!"

Her face paled. Wang Tianlin betrayed me? She couldn't believe it, but Feng Yuan's smug expression told her he was speaking the truth. It all made sense now. If Ye Qingchen had really wanted to see her, he would have come directly. Besides, Wang Tianlin and Ye Qingchen never got along. Why would Ye Qingchen ever use him as a messenger? I was just so happy to hear he wanted to see me that I came without a second thought.

The more Liu Wan'er thought about it, the more she chided herself. But with things as they were, she could only cautiously scan her surroundings for an escape route while feigning composure. "Young Master Feng, you had someone lure me here. May I ask why?"

By now, Feng Yuan stood right in front of her. His eyes shamelessly roved over her body, lingering on her impressive bust, the lecherous smile never leaving his face. He couldn't resist reaching out to touch that softness, but Liu Wan'er dodged with a quick sidestep.

Feng Yuan simply chuckled, unconcerned. "Why? For our mutual benefit, of course. Today, this young master is going to have a very... 'in-depth exchange' with you."

Liu Wan'er crossed her arms over her chest and glared at him frostily. "Feng Yuan, have some self-respect."

"Self-respect? I know you're still holding out hope, waiting for that bastard Ye Qingchen to come and save you. But don't you worry. Your Liu Family's captain, Wang Tianlin, is leading Ye Qingchen into a trap right now. I've set up an inescapable net here, and I guarantee he won't leave alive. Little beauty, isn't Wang Tianlin a fool? He became my pawn, got sold out by me, and he's still preening about it. Isn't he just pathetic? Hahahaha!"

As he spoke, Feng Yuan tried to tackle Liu Wan'er, but she was a Martial Spirit Realm expert. Using her movement technique, she dodged his lunges several times, shouting, "Feng Yuan, you scoundrel! You bastard! You shameless degenerate!"

"Curse me all you want! I love your fiery spirit. It's a hundred times better than those other women who cower and fawn all over me."

Feng Yuan laughed boisterously and, with a sudden flash of movement, finally tackled Liu Wan'er, his heavy body pinning her to the ground. He took a deep, intoxicating sniff of her delicate, feminine scent, his face a mask of pure bliss.

Liu Wan'er was horrified. She struggled with all her might, pushing against him, but against the oppressive power of a Martial King Realm expert, it was all futile.

Feng Yuan was completely overcome by his primal urges. With a beauty in his arms, he lost all self-control. "I'm going to take you, right here and now!" he chuckled. "When your lover Ye Qingchen arrives, he'll be so blinded by rage that he'll lose his composure and walk right into my trap."

Hearing him plot against Ye Qingchen, she retorted loudly, "Hmph! Ye Qingchen already has a fiancée, and I am nowhere near worthy of him. Even if you violate me, he won't feel a thing, let alone lose his composure. Stop your wishful thinking!"

Pinning her down, Feng Yuan felt his lust surge. The arrow was nocked and had to be fired. He didn't bother arguing, simply smirking as he said, "We'll see about that, won't we?"

With that, he ripped her gauzy skirt. The four brawny men behind him tactfully turned their heads away.

Liu Wan'er thrashed desperately as Feng Yuan tore at her clothes. Tattered fabric flew through the air, momentarily revealing glimpses of skin. Faced with the young woman's body, as perfect as a blooming rose, Feng Yuan's beastly desire reached its peak.

"Little beauty, let me show you what I'm made of!"

With a savage laugh, Feng Yuan was about to mount his steed.

BANG!

The sound of the door shattering shocked Feng Yuan so badly he nearly went limp. He whipped his head around to see Ye Qingchen and Wang Tianlin standing in the doorway, their eyes blazing with fury as they stared at him.
