As Ye Chen had anticipated.
The group suspected to be from the Seventy-Two Islands hadn’t left for long before booming voices resounded above the forbidden area.
Great Emperors from all sides used their supreme power to call for everyone to leave the battlefield.
"Ye Chen, I’m not leaving just yet." The finger of Emperor Mutian, hidden in Ye Chen’s sleeve, spoke up, "I have some unfinished business in the forbidden area. I’ll return to Celestial Burial Sea once it’s dealt with."
"Old Chi, are you still being so formal with me? Your business is my business. Let’s leave the forbidden area first and discuss things at length later."
"Spare me the pretenses. I’ve seen through you these past days. You just want to drag me to Celestial Burial Sea to wave your banner with my reputation!"
Ye Chen: "... Old Chi, you wound me with your words."
Not only did he want to use Emperor Mutian’s reputation to wave his banner... Emperor Mutian knew the affairs between the strong of the Celestial Burial Sea like the back of his hand. The finger not only could dig and rob graves but also steal items from others’ storage rings without a sound...
Oh, the things it could do!
"You troublemaker extraordinaire, take care of yourself, and try not to die too soon." Emperor Mutian’s divine finger flew out from Ye Chen’s sleeve, transformed into a stream of light, and disappeared without a trace.
Ye Chen sighed.
Old Chi really doesn’t understand him.
By not going out with him, he truly believes there’s no way to wave the banner with Chi’s name?
......
Where a group of Great Emperors gathered.
The five Great Emperors from the Evil Spirit Camp, along with four human Great Emperors from the Ten Thousand Islands Sect and Inner Sea Three Alliances, all looked grim.
The Enlightenment Tea Tree, which appeared once every thousand years, had an accident this time.
Previously, the Enlightenment Tea Tree would only disappear after ten Enlightenment Tea leaves were picked... This time, its aura vanished pletely after just three leaves were taken.
Three pieces of Enlightenment Tea: one went to the Evil Spirit Camp, two went to the Ten Thousand Islands Sect... none to the Inner Sea Three Alliances.
In contrast, the Celestial Wind Emperor of the Ten Thousand Islands Sect was in a slightly better mood and said with a smile: "The Enlightenment Tea Tree is mysterious and unpredictable. It’s a pity that we only harvested two pieces, even though our original target was five."
The Great Emperors all stayed there, and none were allowed to interfere with the battlefield, not even knowing what transpired.
"Bitch, don’t be so smug. It’s just two pieces of Enlightenment Tea. Even if you had twenty, you can’t make a ripple." The Celestial Cauldron Emperor from the Body Alliance, who couldn’t stand the Celestial Wind Emperor, snorted coldly and said bluntly.
"Celestial Cauldron, you keep offending me. Do you really think I can’t suppress you?" The Celestial Wind Emperor’s temper flared.
The Celestial Cauldron Emperor sneered and said, "e on, let’s have a go!"
The Celestial Blade Emperor of the Martial Alliance said flatly, "Celestial Cauldron, Celestial Wind, you’re both human Great Emperors; don’t spoil the harmony here."
The Celestial Spirit Emperor of the Spirit Alliance also spoke up, "Now that this is settled, I must take my leave."
A moment later.
All Great Emperors left.
......
At the entrance of the forbidden area.
Ye Chen appeared before Bai Kai, the Body Alliance Great Guardian.
Bai Kai’s mood was notably good.
The Body Alliance hadn’t obtained any Enlightenment Tea leaves this time, but the fact that a genius as gifted as Ye Chen was unharmed was a great joy.
After some polite conversation, Ye Chen prepared to leave with Bai Kai.
At this moment, a furious shout was heard.
"Ye Chen of the Body Alliance, stay, or die without mercy!"
A group from the Ten Thousand Islands Sect came swooping down with killing intent, including the narrowly-surviving Xue Dingchuan, led by Xue Guang.
Bai Kai’s expression tensed. He stepped forward and shouted, "If the Ten Thousand Islands Sect wants to go to war with our Body Alliance, then bring it on!"
"War it is. The trifling Body Alliance dares to challenge our Ten Thousand Islands Sect? You’re a group of fools courting your doom!" Xue Guang raged. His descendant Xue Dingchuan had suffered great losses and almost died due to Ye Chen’s schemes, and Xue Guang’s anger had reached its peak!
The weakened Xue Dingchuan stepped forward, eyes gleaming coldly at Ye Chen, and said, "Ye Chen, you impersonated me, lured me into a trap by the Evil Spirits, and conspired with Xu Yanran and Zhang Yao with countless sinister plans to kill me. This cannot just end like this!
Today, no one will take Ye Chen away from the forbidden area. Anyone who dares to stop me will be cut down by the Ten Thousand Islands Sect at all costs, as a warning to others!"
With these words.
The surrounding people looked at each other.
What’s going on?
Ye Chen impersonated Xue Dingchuan and almost killed him?
"The Ten Thousand Islands Sect boasts such arrogance. I, Zhang Qiancheng, am willing to see what great moves you, Xue Guang, have. Let’s see if you’re more formidable as the Vice Sect Leader of the Ten Thousand Islands Sect, or if I, the Vice Alliance Leader of the Body Alliance, have the upper hand!"
Vice Alliance Leader Zhang Qiancheng of the Body Alliance arrives with his descendant Zhang Yao.
In detail, he has already gathered some general information from Zhang Yao, and in his heart, there is nothing but shock and delight.
Ye Chen’s strength and audacity are indeed unexpected.
Ye Chen teamed up with others to overpower Xue Dingchuan, which is truly satisfying.
The Body Alliance has always felt somewhat stifled in front of the Ten Thousand Islands Sect, but this time, it’s a relief!
"Since the Ten Thousand Islands Sect wants to engage here, our Martial Alliance does not mind having another battle!" Just as Zhang Qiancheng arrived, Xu Yanran and others from the Martial Alliance also appeared.
Xue Guang gritted his teeth and said, "Even though the Martial and Body Alliances join forces, they can’t stand against our Ten Thousand Islands Sect. However, the Sect can let you both go if you hand over Ye Chen, and we will wipe the slate clean."
Zhang Qiancheng smiled faintly and said, "Why not, you hand over Xue Dingchuan, and the Body Alliance won’t hold your Ten Thousand Islands Sect accountable?"
"Dingchuan is the Daoist of our Ten Thousand Islands Sect; how can Ye Chen pare to him? Zhang Qiancheng, stop twisting the facts here. I’ll ask again, are you handing him over or not?"
Although Ye Chen hadn’t spoken,
the entire focus was now on him.
Before Zhang Qiancheng could respond to Xue Guang’s words, Ye Chen stepped forward and said lightly, "Xue Dingchuan is indeed the Daoist of the Ten Thousand Islands Sect, formidable and mighty, whereas I’m merely a newer to the Body Alliance, unknown and insignificant.
Yet this insignificant role almost killed Xue Dingchuan. What a pity, really just a little short!"
Zhang Qiancheng laughed loudly and said, "No need to regret; this time was close, next time won’t be far off!"
Xue Guang, Xue Dingchuan, and the rest of the Ten Thousand Islands Sect stared with bulging eyes, necks stiff and about to explode with rage.
Xue Dingchuan could hardly endure such humiliation and shouted, "Ye Chen, dare to battle again? Let’s settle who’s superior in front of everyone!"
Ye Chen’s eyes casually cast a glance at Xue Dingchuan, calmly saying, "I never face off with those I’ve already defeated."
Of course, this was pure nonsense.
If I can win, I’ll definitely fight.
The key is, if I can’t win, why bother fighting you?
Now, everyone knows you almost died at my hands once... that’s enough.
"Ye Chen, clearly you lack the courage!"
Ye Chen looked at Xue Dingchuan with eyes seeming to view an idiot, saying, "Defeated foe, who gives you the nerve to shout in front of me? If you can’t lose, don’t play. Fighting trash like you makes me feel ashamed!"
Xue Dingchuan: "..."
He was already heavily injured.
Now, infuriated by Ye Chen, his Qi Blood reverse flowed, and with a loud "wa," he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, staggering and nearly collapsing to the ground.
Ye Chen sighed.
"Such temperament is truly worrisome, and still the Daoist of the Ten Thousand Islands Sect? Has the Sect run out of people?!"
Supported by others, Xue Dingchuan continued to spew blood in rage and shouted sadly, "Ye Chen, you..."
Ye Chen: "What do you mean, ’I...’? Have you forgotten the words said when you knelt and begged me to spare your life?"
Xue Dingchuan: "???"
Ye Chen: "Let me jog your memory. When you begged me for mercy, you cried out for your ancestors, even claiming you’d kneel each time you see me from then on. I didn’t want to mention it again, but you insist on forcing me to speak!"
After all... there was only Xue Dingchuan who survived that battle among the enemies, so I can say whatever I want.
Wait, there’s also the one who secretly saved Xue Dingchuan, but that person surely wouldn’t dare to say a word.
"Ye Chen, you spout nonsense, don’t ruin my reputation here!" Xue Dingchuan roared, continuing to cough up blood.
Ye Chen said calmly: "Still won’t admit? To ask for my mercy, you even offered your ancestor’s top-level sacred weapon, the Vast Sea Holy Halberd, to me willingly.
Everyone knows this top-level sacred weapon has strong spiritual intelligence. You, Xue Dingchuan, are known as the chosen one, invincible below the Emperor Realm, so without Emperor Realm strength, who can sever your connection with the Vast Sea Holy Halberd?
And in this battlefield, there’s been strict control, impossible for Emperor Realm to step in.
Your Vast Sea Holy Halberd is in my hands; that’s the proof of you kneeling and begging me to spare your life and calling me ancestor!"
As he spoke, Ye Chen waved, secretly wielding the Soldier Character Secret power, directly holding Xue Dingchuan’s Vast Sea Holy Halberd in hand.
He swung the Vast Sea Holy Halberd, shook his head, and said, "This is indeed a fine weapon, but alas, it met a worthless master."
Xue Dingchuan was utterly speechless, continuing to spew blood.
Ye Chen was filled with anticipation in his heart.
Keep spewing blood.
Couldn’t kill this guy, but making him die from bleeding pressure is also a good result!
