Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 279: Chapter 278 [Go to Sichuan Province, Annihilate the Xuanyuan Family]

Xiao Qing, whose full name is Li Xiaoqing, was once the mistress of Li Tie, the former gang leader in Capital City. In reality, she was an undercover agent sent by the Qin family to monitor Li Tie. That day, Ye Tianchen didn’t kill Xiao Qing because he sensed no murderous intent from her. Moreover, Li Xiaoqing is an Illusion Technique Superpower User, a type of Superpower User that was rare in the apocalypse, and even more so in this life. That’s why Ye Tianchen let Xiao Qing go.

Unexpectedly, this time, Wuxue called upon masters from the Ancient Martial Sects and the Superpower World to form the Thirteen Heavenly Kings, and Li Xiaoqing had joined as well, becoming the only Female Heavenly King among them. This truly surprised Ye Tianchen. He and Xiao Qing were old acquaintances after all, but he hadn’t expected that now Xiao Qing would become his subordinate and join the Thirteen Heavenly Kings.

”Don’t worry, I won’t be a drag on you all!” Li Xiaoqing said with a charming smile.

”Of course not. With an Illusion Technique female Superpower User like you joining us, I believe you can play a significant role!” Ye Tianchen said with a smile and nod.

Li Xiaoqing was also an extremely beautiful woman. What set her apart from other beautiful women was her seductiveness and sex appeal. She knew what men wanted and liked, and how to tempt them. Her Illusion Technique was also very powerful. However, she had come across Ye Tianchen, a man at the peak of the King-level Superpower Realm, or else even Ye Tianchen might not have been able to escape Xiao Qing’s Illusion Technique. And, Ye Tianchen believed, as time went on, Xiao Qing’s Illusion Technique would become even stronger. There was still room for her to grow.

Seeing Xiao Qing made Ye Tianchen wonder: if Qin Yaoyue, from the Ancient Martial Sect with her Mind Control Skill, were to face off against Li Xiaoqing’s Illusion Technique, who would be stronger?

The creation of the Thirteen Heavenly Kings undoubtedly marked the beginning of Ye Tianchen’s efforts to develop his own influence. Now, he didn’t need to do everything himself anymore, and it also strengthened his resolve to confront major families and forces, to bring the Ye family back to prominence.

In Ye Tianchen’s heart, there was still much he wanted to do. He wished to avenge his dead friends and family back on the apocalypse star, find the Transmission Arrays that once existed on Earth, travel to Emperor Star, and seek the secret of Eternal Life. These were the things he, as a strong person, had to do, must do. But before that, he had to revitalize the Ye family, build his own power, and elevate the Ye family to a height where no one would dare to provoke them lightly. Only then could he leave with peace of mind, without worrying about his parents and sister.

”Alright, we set off tonight, heading for Sichuan Province!” Ye Tianchen declared loudly and firmly.

The Xuanyuan family was a powerful Hidden Family with an extremely top-tier master within their ranks. Ye Tianchen was not someone who liked to be passive; passivity meant getting hit. To stop the Xuanyuan family’s retaliation, he had to take the initiative, completely eradicate the Xuanyuan family.

”Go to Sichuan Province?” Wuxue was taken aback, asking in confusion.

The other twelve masters also looked at Ye Tianchen with bewilderment. It was already one o’clock in the morning, and he was talking about going to Sichuan Province, setting off overnight. Could their boss, Ye Tianchen, be sleepwalking?

Ye Tianchen, seeing everybody’s puzzled faces, chuckled and said, ”You heard me right, we’re heading to Sichuan Province. That’s where the Thirteen Heavenly Kings will fight our first battle. What I can tell you is that in this battle we may encounter some very strong opponents, perhaps even face death. We mustn’t be careless!”

Hearing Ye Tianchen’s words, Wuxue and the other twelve were not frightened but rather excited. Each of them was a first-rate master, skilled and powerful. Death was no longer scary to them; what was terrifying was a battle without the thrill of excitement. That was what they couldn’t bear.

”Great, let’s have our first battle of the Thirteen Heavenly Kings in Sichuan Province, letting both the underworld and the law know that the Thirteen Heavenly Kings have been established!” Wang Jie said excitedly.

”Don’t worry, there will be more battles to come. I just hope that everyone survives to witness the rise and glory of the Thirteen Heavenly Kings!” Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

Around two o’clock in the morning, a private jet took off from Capital City. It has to be said, in today’s society, as long as you have money, you can get anything done. Ye Tianchen offered five million to Kyoto Airport, and immediately a private jet was arranged to fly them out overnight. About two and a half hours later, it landed in the Capital City of Sichuan Province. Three black sedans set off from the Capital City towards the Dead Sea in Sichuan Province. In the lead car sat Ye Tianchen with Wang Jie in the passenger seat, and Wuxue was driving. The two black sedans following each carried five people, closely following behind. The Thirteen Heavenly Kings were on their way to the Dead Sea to eliminate the Xuanyuan family.

”Big brother, I’ve also purchased the villa. It’s in a large villa area in the East Suburb, which has fewer residents. After checking the location, I chose the one located in the deepest part. There’s a small lake next to it, very tranquil and usually undisturbed by anyone,” Wuxue said while driving.

”Hmm, choosing such a place is best, avoiding unnecessary harm to civilians in case of an attack,” Ye Tianchen nodded and said.

”It cost a total of one billion, and I even wrote an IOU...” Wuxue said in a low voice.

”What? One billion...”

Ye Tianchen almost collapsed on the spot. He had instructed Wuxue to find a villa, one that was very quiet with basically no other residents nearby. He didn’t expect this guy to spend a billion all at once.

”Big Brother, that villa is fully equipped. It’s specifically prepared for those billionaires to keep their mistresses. There are no other villas nearby, it’s a standalone estate, luxurious townhouses, with a gym, swimming pool, and even a basketball court. Also, the small lake nearby has beautiful natural scenery. They offered a lump-sum price of one billion, and I thought about it and agreed!” Wuxue explained quietly.

Ye Tianchen looked at Wuxue and sighed in frustration. What was done was done, what else could he do? The only thing was, he thought to himself, in the future, he couldn’t let Wuxue, this unreliable guy, do the shopping. Spending a billion on a villa just like that, even though he was now the chairman of the Sea King Group with a net worth of several billion, it still hurt to spend a billion so impulsively, especially for someone as frugal as Ye Tianchen.

”Forget it, when we get back to Capital City, I’ll move in there, and you guys can live there with me, so we can discuss and deal with matters more conveniently!” Ye Tianchen sighed in frustration and said.

”Yes, Big Brother!” Wuxue cautiously replied; he too had acted impulsively at the time of purchase and only afterward realized the gravity of spending a billion all at once.

”We’ll probably reach the artificial Dead Sea by dawn. You and Wang Jie will be responsible for managing the others. We’ll play on the Dead Sea during the day, and we’ll act at night. This time, we need to eliminate the Xuanyuan family, and it’s not going to be easy. But we must succeed, failure is not an option. The Thirteen Heavenly Kings must be victorious in our first battle!” Ye Tianchen said seriously.

”Big Brother? We, we are going to eliminate the Xuanyuan family?”

Wuxue couldn’t help but be shocked. Apart from Ye Tianchen, none of them knew what the mission to Sichuan Province entailed, but everyone was disciplined and orderly. Since they were following Big Brother Ye Tianchen, they had to obey orders unconditionally. They weren’t supposed to ask unnecessary questions, just focus on the task at hand. However, they never imagined that this time Ye Tianchen would lead the Thirteen Heavenly Kings to eliminate the Xuanyuan family in Sichuan Province.

”The Xuanyuan family? Isn’t that a Hidden Family? Almost no one knows where the Xuanyuan family is located, could it be...” Wang Jie also asked in surprise.

”That’s right, the first battle of the Thirteen Heavenly Kings is to eliminate the Xuanyuan Hidden Family. I can now tell you that the Xuanyuan family is located near the artificial Dead Sea in Sichuan Province. Deep within the artificial Dead Sea, there is a secluded island formed naturally, and that’s where the Xuanyuan family resides. I’ve learned that the artificial Dead Sea is actually the Xuanyuan family’s enterprise. They own it not only for family business expansion but also for better concealment!” Ye Tianchen nodded and said.

Wuxue and Wang Jie were both very surprised. China’s artificial Dead Sea is certainly common knowledge, but almost no one would have guessed that it is an enterprise owned by the hidden Xuanyuan family. Moreover, the Xuanyuan family had concealed their family on the loneliest island in the depths of the artificial Dead Sea. What grandeur this must be! Even this fact alone shows the strength of the Xuanyuan family; their resources in manpower, materials, and wealth are all incredibly substantial.

”Big Brother, I heard that there are many masters in the Xuanyuan family. Although they haven’t been active in both the underworld and lawful society in recent years, many people have heard that the Xuanyuan family is preparing to make a comeback!” Wuxue said, still in disbelief.

”Hmm, there seems to be that intention. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have sent Xuanyuan Teng and Xuanyuan Yu to school in Capital City!” Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

”The Xuanyuan family had gone into hiding because of national strength. After developing for so many years and as the nation has become increasingly powerful, their desire to emerge indicates only two possibilities. First, someone from the Xuanyuan family is already in a high position within the government; second, the strength of the Xuanyuan family has greatly increased to the point where they believe even the government wouldn’t dare to touch them lightly!” Wang Jie, being an intelligent person, realized the crux of the issue after a little thought.

Initially, even Ye Tianchen had considered this matter. In general, the reason why China’s hidden great families choose to stay out of the public eye is that their strength pose too much of a threat to the safety of ordinary people, prompting the government to suppress them, causing such families to choose not to reveal themselves. As long as these families stay hidden, the government would turn a blind eye, because eradicating these great families wouldn’t be easy. It’s all about maintaining a balance.

However, generally, these great families and powers are always so strong that after generations of development, they inevitably become somewhat imperious. Much like a person who has always been powerful without equals, gradually, anyone would develop a hint of arrogance. Especially for their descendants who become even more haughty and overbearing. If they were to re-enter society, it would certainly endanger the lives and property of ordinary people. (To be continued.
