The Most Powerful Overlord

Chapter 378: Trapped Dragon Well

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhishang was stunned.

He looked at Ye Qingtian and said, "Young Master Ye, since I have already withdrawn, I don’t intend to bring these matters up again."

"You think you can just not mention it? After all the efforts I spent finding you, you’re telling me not to bring it up?"

Ye Qingtian’s face gradually darkened. He stood up, walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window, and spoke lightly, "Don’t force me to act personally."

"Ah..."

Liu Zhishang couldn’t help but sigh deeply.

"Now I seem to understand why they came to the Ye Family at the time; it was because of you."

Liu Zhishang opened his mouth.

"Hmm, continue."

"Since you could find me, it shows you have a general grasp of what happened when you were born. I think this group had predicted the occurrence of anomalies in advance or knew about your birth beforehand. But I don’t know why they suddenly withdrew at the time."

Liu Zhishang said.

Ye Qingtian sneered in his heart: It seems that those forces had already foreseen my birth. It’s getting more and more interesting.

"At that time, the three fled, and I instructed others to guard. I chased after them alone, and eventually, they didn’t vanish into thin air; the three disappeared into the Trapped Dragon Well."

Liu Zhishang said, his expression having changed drastically.

"Trapped Dragon Well?"

Ye Qingtian frowned slightly.

"It’s rumored that an Evil Dragon is suppressed beneath the Trapped Dragon Well. Some Martial Arts Experts have tried to enter the well, but it seems there’s a powerful array set up there, making entry impossible. So that place, to this day, probably no one has been there. That day the three disappeared there, which surprised me."

Then, Liu Zhishang seemed to think of something: "By the way, I also saw a symbol on them, resembling some deity from Western mythology..."

Liu Zhishang roughly described the symbol...

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingtian’s brow furrowed deeply.

The reason is simple: At Adele’s behest, among the things I transported, there was a strange statue.

This statue is almost identical to the symbol Liu Zhishang described.

"Interesting! Very interesting!"

Ye Qingtian chuckled.

"It seems I must visit the Trapped Dragon Well."

At the same time, Ye Qingtian arranged for someone to investigate Adele’s whereabouts.

As Ye Qingtian anticipated, there was no person named Adele; the previous information about transporting the statue was completely gone, as if it had never happened.

On the following day, Jenny and her party surprisingly found Ye Qingtian.

"Young Master Ye, the Weiting Clan hopes to be friends with you."

Jenny expressed a sincere side.

Ye Qingtian snorted coldly, "The Weiting Clan is not qualified!"

Jenny was unperturbed, having witnessed Ye Qingtian’s strength and arrogance earlier, while Hiram and the others were almost jumping in shock.

"Hmm? Anything?"

But Xiao Jianting’s eyes flashed coldly, and a powerful aura locked onto them.

Instantly, Hiram and his group trembled in fear, not daring to voice any objections.

"There’s just one matter we’d like to discuss with Young Master Ye..."

Jenny said softly.

Ye Qingtian revealed a slight smile, "You mean to say that when we go searching for the Treasure Map, you want to tag along?"

"Truly the pinnacle of Huaxia Martial Arts Dao!"

Jenny showed a hint of excitement.

Xiao Jianting thought of something and couldn’t help but ask, "Are you expecting to follow when you gift the Chen Family, waiting for treasure hunting to join in?"

"Of course. After all, the Chen Family alone can’t swallow such a treasure."

Jenny said.

Then Jenny looked at Ye Qingtian, "Young Master Ye, have you thought about it? If we follow along, all dangerous obstacles will be cleared by us, and Young Master Ye can just enjoy the spoils. We only need a small portion of what’s inside."

Even though Jenny spoke so grandly, Xiao Jianting could tell at a glance: This clearly aims at making Ye Qingtian a scapegoat.

Previously, they offered the Chen Family the Treasure Map with the same idea, making the Chen Family the scapegoat.

Ye Qingtian smiled, "It’s not that you can’t join, but the joining fee..."

"How much, Young Master Ye?"

Upon hearing there was hope, Jenny immediately asked.

"Considering our acquaintance, I’ll give a twenty percent discount, let’s say eight hundred billion dollars!"

Ye Qingtian said lightly.

"What? Eight hundred billion dollars?"

Jenny and Anthony fell into madness one after another.

Eight hundred billion dollars would not only affect Jenny’s branch family but even the Weiting Clan would find it an enormous financial undertaking.

After all, that’s eight hundred billion dollars!

"Young Master Ye you..."

Hiram and the others were about to utter threats but held back upon seeing Xiao Jianting.

"In that case, Young Master Ye, we’ll take our leave."

Jenny said, rising to her feet.

Anthony and the others were about to leave with her.

"Wait..."

Xiao Jianting’s voice rang out.

"Hmm?"

The crowd was puzzled.

"Except for her, the rest of you must roll out. Is this a place you come and go as you please?"

Xiao Jianting’s voice was as sharp as a blade.

Anthony and his group no choice but to comply, crawling on the ground and rolling out.

At this moment, the Weiting Clan’s dignity was utterly swept away.

"You..."

Jenny left with a somber expression.

"Truly arrogant! I like it, I admire you."

Xiao Jianting said sincerely.

Xiao Jianting surrendered partly because of Ye Qingtian’s heaven-defying strength and partly because of his bold personality.

"Prepare yourselves, we depart for Tianjing outskirts."

Ye Qingtian said.

Shen Huamo and the others went to make preparations.

As Ye Qingtian closed his eyes to rest, the door of the room was knocked.

The visitor surprised Ye Qingtian; it was Zhou Wenwan.

"Mr. Ye, let’s formally meet, I am Zhou Wenwan, 19 years old, graduated from..."

Zhou Wenwan said a bunch, like a self-introduction during an interview.

"Are you checking household registration?"

Ye Qingtian frowned.

"No, I want to apologize for the incident that day. I don’t know if Mr. Ye has time; I’d like to invite you for a meal to apologize."

Zhou Wenwan’s cheeks flashed with a blush, shyly lowering her head.

Ye Qingtian shook his head, "Sorry, I don’t have time."

"Oh, okay. Then Mr. Ye, I’ll take my leave. Goodbye."

Zhou Wenwan cautiously left.

Then, Zhou Wenwan turned around and left a note, "Mr. Ye, this is my contact information. If you need anything, you can reach me. If I can’t solve it, I can find my sister; my sister is the Goddess of the Hidden Sect. But of course, Mr. Ye definitely doesn’t need help."

"Hmm, okay."

Faced with such an unoffending girl, Ye Qingtian nodded.

Then, Ye Qingtian and his group left the Southern Region.

By evening, they arrived in Tianjing.

The group did not return to the Ye Family ancestral residence but headed directly to the rumored location of the Trapped Dragon Well.

A hidden place on the city outskirts, overgrown with weeds, eerie and chilling, the atmosphere tinged with a hint of mystery.

"Young Master Ye, this is where I pursued them that day."

Liu Zhishang pointed ahead.
