Ye Chen pulled out Emperor Mutian’s banner, and it had an immediate effect. Not only did the Celestial Blade Emperor make a clear statement, but many people present also wore plex expressions.
Chi Mutian, a generation of madman in the Celestial Burial Sea, these powerhouses present have almost all lived through the legendary deeds of Emperor Mutian.
Emperor Mutian is still alive, and Ye Chen is a close friend of Emperor Mutian. This information is simply explosive!
The Celestial Spirit Emperor of the Spirit Alliance chuckled, "Well, this trip to the forbidden zone was in vain. It is a blessing for the Celestial Burial Sea Race that Emperor Mutian is still alive.
Ye Chen, remember to tell Emperor Mutian that we old friends miss him very much and hope to find a time to meet him."
Ye Chen: "I will certainly pass it on."
This guy is incredibly sly, clearly wanting to test whether Emperor Mutian is genuinely alive, and even if he is, how much power remains!
The Celestial Spirit Emperor smiled at the Celestial Blade Emperor and the Celestial Cauldron Emperor, "Congratulations to both of you for each obtaining a piece of Enlightenment Tea."
This remark had implications.
Only three pieces of Enlightenment Tea were picked in total this time — one from the Evil Spirit side and two held by Ye Chen.
He congratulated the Celestial Blade and Celestial Cauldron Emperors for each getting a piece, suggesting that their assistance to Ye Chen wasn’t out of kindness, but purely for the Enlightenment Tea.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I will now take my leave."
The Celestial Spirit Emperor said a few more words before leading the Spirit Alliance people away.
Meanwhile, Ye Chen’s gaze was fixed on the back of someone from the Spirit Alliance, only when the figure pletely disappeared did he retract his sight.
No matter how well-hidden, they ultimately couldn’t escape the subtle perception of the Martial Arts Celestial Eye.
Now, Ye Chen already understood who secretly helped Xue Dingchuan!
"Hentian, you came alone, so I’m guessing Wutian and the others still don’t want a full-scale war with us. If you wish to fight, then let it be." The Celestial Blade Emperor looked at the Evil Spirit Heaven-Hating Emperor in the forbidden zone, speaking calmly.
Emperor Hentian gritted his teeth but continued to restrain his anger.
Five emperors from the forbidden zone.
Only one appeared now, and indeed the other four were not planning to intervene in this matter.
If a fight truly broke out, the likelihood of suffering a greater loss was more significant.
"Celestial Blade, Celestial Cauldron, I’ll let you flaunt this time, but... Ye Chen stealing my emperor weapon, this matter isn’t over!" After that, Emperor Hentian could only leave in irritation.
"Hey, woman! e on, let’s spar!" The Celestial Cauldron Emperor laughed heartily, rolling up his sleeves, eager to take on the Celestial Wind Emperor of the Ten Thousand Islands Sect!
"Humph, you crude brute, I disdain engaging with you!"
The Celestial Wind Emperor snorted coldly, directly waving her hand to mand, leading the people of the Ten Thousand Islands Sect to withdraw.
The previously tense situation settled down in an instant.
The Celestial Blade Emperor looked at Ye Chen, "Yanran has already discussed your situation with me. If you encounter anything you can’t resolve, feel free to seek help from the Martial Alliance."
After all, being his own son-in-law’s junior, a little care from the Martial Alliance is reasonable.
As for the Enlightenment Tea, the Celestial Blade Emperor didn’t mention a word.
"Thank you for your help today, Celestial Blade Emperor. I am immensely grateful. To express my gratitude, please accept this piece of Enlightenment Tea, and I hope you don’t mind."
Ye Chen, after speaking, directly pulled out the storage ring taken during the battle from Xue Dingchuan, and unsurprisingly found a piece of Enlightenment Tea.
He already planned to send a betrothal gift to his martial uncle, and since the Celestial Blade Emperor helped out generously, he’ll use the Enlightenment Tea as a token of thanks for now, leaving future matters to be dealt with later.
The Celestial Blade Emperor glanced at the Celestial Cauldron Emperor.
The Celestial Cauldron Emperor laughed heartily, "The two pieces of Enlightenment Tea are Ye Chen’s own harvest, and he has the right to decide what to do with them.
Moreover, you urgently need the Enlightenment Tea, take it quickly. When did you, Xu Tiandao, bee so hesitant?"
The Celestial Blade Emperor smiled faintly, then accepted the Enlightenment Tea that Ye Chen handed over, and simultaneously, a strand of pure energy floated in front of Ye Chen.
"This is a drop of divine power at ninety percent purity; consider it my return gift. Ye Chen, I hope to see you bring more surprises next time." The Celestial Blade Emperor remarked.
Ye Chen didn’t hesitate, the ninety percent purity divine power was incredibly tempting, and he accepted it immediately.
Following that, the people from the Martial Alliance and Body Alliance withdrew from the forbidden zone, each heading back to their bases at the entrance of the zone.
Ye Chen was called alone into a grand hall by the Celestial Cauldron Emperor.
Celestial Cauldron Emperor: "Do you know why I’ve called you?"
"I dare not guess the mind of the Celestial Cauldron Emperor recklessly." Ye Chen replied.
"Three matters." The Celestial Cauldron Emperor said, staring at Ye Chen, "First, about Emperor Mutian, you indeed have guts, aren’t you afraid Emperor Mutian will settle accounts with you?"
Ye Chen: "I hit it off instantly with Emperor Mutian, and we are genuinely close friends."
"No need to pretend, it’s only me and the Celestial Blade Emperor that didn’t want to expose you on the spot. Regardless of how much Emperor Mutian values you, he definitely won’t regard you as an equal."
Ye Chen: "..."
Not responding to this topic, he quickly said: "What’s the second matter?"
Celestial Cauldron Emperor thought for a moment, "The evil spirit emperor weapon of Hentian in the forbidden zone, where did you hide it? Based on your cultivation, even if you place the emperor weapon in your storage ring, the aura of the emperor weapon would still seep out, yet we felt no trace of the evil spirit emperor weapon from you."
Ye Chen: "I cooperated with Emperor Mutian, and we snatched the item together. I gave it to Emperor Mutian."
The Celestial Cauldron Emperor was indeed a good person.
But the evil spirit emperor weapon... Ye Chen did not want to hand it over so easily.
Even if unable to use the evil spirit’s weapon, it was still an emperor weapon. It was his first time acquiring such a top-tier item, he hadn’t even handled it much yet; giving it up so soon was disheartening!
Perhaps once he is done playing with it and finds no more use, he will discuss it later.
"Celestial Cauldron Emperor, what’s the third matter?" Ye Chen inquired.
Celestial Cauldron Emperor looked at him steadily, "You truly don’t know?"
"Please enlighten me, Celestial Cauldron Emperor."
The Celestial Cauldron Emperor gritted his teeth, "You still have a piece of Enlightenment Tea, don’t you? Give it to me, I’ll reward you with a drop of divine blood at ninety percent purity."
He said as he generously provided a drop of highly dense divine blood to Ye Chen.
This little rascal is exceptionally shrewd, deliberately pretending not to know, forcing a dignified emperor to request openly, pelling extra reward!
"So it was this matter. That piece of Enlightenment Tea, I entrusted to a reliable loose cultivator friend. I’ll retrieve it in a few days and pass it on to Celestial Cauldron Emperor." Ye Chen had long prepared this excuse, saying it naturally, while smoothly taking the divine blood.
He couldn’t possibly say he had consumed a piece, could he...
He’ll have to go into the Sword Tomb Space to pick some first!
Pretending to be oblivious was a deliberate strategy involving Ye Chen’s careful calculations.
The Celestial Blade Emperor’s help was out of loyalty.
The Celestial Cauldron Emperor’s help was fulfilling a duty; after all, Ye Chen was part of the Body Alliance, and the Celestial Cauldron Emperor must shoulder the troubles that e to them.
It’s the obligation of being a leader!
If the Celestial Cauldron Emperor didn’t take responsibility, there would be no point in staying within the Body Alliance.
Ye Chen intended to give a piece of Enlightenment Tea to the Celestial Cauldron Emperor.
But offering it voluntarily was a show of loyalty; the Celestial Cauldron Emperor might have simply laughed and dismissed him.
However, if the Celestial Cauldron Emperor requested it himself... then, he obtained a drop of divine blood at ninety percent purity.
Having spent half a month stirring up the forbidden zone.
The Taiyan Fire Seal merged with the Haoyang Celestial Fire, advancing to the fourth rank, martial cultivation improved significantly, learned Emperor Mutian’s Mutian Divine Seal and Earth-Digging Divine Technique.
Accumulated a Spirit Storage Bead that could exchange for a drop of divine blood at full purity, received a portion of divine power at ninety percent purity from the Celestial Blade Emperor, got a drop of divine blood at ninety percent purity from the Celestial Cauldron Emperor.
Picked up an evil spirit emperor weapon and transplanted an Enlightenment Tea Tree in the Sword Tomb.
Venturing alone in the Celestial Burial Sea, everything must be calculated meticulously.
It’s indeed hard work.
Ye Chen sighed internally, "I have it so tough!"
