ISWI Chapter 1411-1418 (Patreon)

Chapter 1411: The Bone Has a Place to Go!

They lost themselves in the kiss for a long time before finally separating. In the end, Shen Qingge's hand could not help slipping downward, yet Ye Chen firmly refused her.

"Cultivate properly and elevate yourself. I know you want to rely on your own strength to dig the bone back out with your own hands and personally defeat Shen Qinghuan. Therefore, do not slack off, and still less waste time. Once you have defeated Shen Qinghuan, you may do whatever you wish to me…"

The moment Ye Chen spoke those words, Shen Qingge, who had still been a little startled, immediately gave him a light spit. The way he said it made it sound as if she truly wanted to. Just now it had merely been her hand acting on its own, developing a mind of its own. Yet her heart was filled with emotion. Her own affairs concerned Ye Chen even more than they concerned herself, showing just how much he valued her.

Moreover, Shen Qinghuan possessed her bone and was especially powerful. Defeating her would indeed not be so easy. Yet Shen Qingge held confidence in herself. What did not belong to Shen Qinghuan would never truly be hers. She would certainly win… and personally reclaim everything that was hers.

Ye Chen adjusted the trousers beneath his robes and continued. "Shen Qinghuan came to find me before and said her father would obtain a Cycle Blood Renewal Pill for her. By now she has most likely already used it. Therefore, her flesh and blood are certain to be of King grade as well. It truly will not be easy. Do not take it lightly…"

At his words, a complicated look stirred in Shen Qingge's eyes. That father of hers was truly fair. The moment she obtained a Cycle Blood Renewal Pill, he immediately found a way to get one for Shen Qinghuan as well.

"I will certainly win. Once I win, wait for me in my cave abode…" Shen Qingge declared domineeringly.

Ye Chen smiled faintly, expressing his anticipation. Soon Shen Qingge sat cross-legged, full of fighting spirit, and began refining the Ancient Relic Species flesh and blood origin essence. Ye Chen, for his part, protected her while sending his divine sense into the small world.

Gazing at the Ancestral Dragon egg that continually stirred and expressed desire, his eyes carried hesitation. Should he feed it? This Ancestral Dragon egg did not even come with a multiplier. And what if it emerged disobedient? What if it repaid kindness with enmity? Although he could seek his master's help, it would inevitably expose secrets.

After hesitating for a moment, however, Ye Chen still decided to feed it. This was his own small world; while he was inside it, his combat strength received an enormous boost. In addition, he still carried the imprint of his master, the Western Empress. If it truly emerged and repaid kindness with enmity, he would simply destroy it outright. Trading partial heart essence for a complete corpse of a son of the Ancestral Dragon would not be a loss.

In short, Ye Chen quickly laid down several immortal arrays around the edge of the Ancestral Dragon egg. Then he summoned the partial essence of Baxia's heart. When the heart essence drew near, the Ancestral Dragon egg grew even more excited, its trembling amplitude increasing.

Ye Chen raised his hand directly. The heart essence immediately flew out. The eggshell of the Ancestral Dragon egg bloomed with illusory divine light, as if a dragon claw seized it and completely refined it in an instant.

At that moment, the eggshell of the Ancestral Dragon egg became even more extraordinary. Within it, a tremendous power fluctuation was brewing.

Ye Chen narrowed his eyes and watched, ready at any moment to activate the imprint of the Western Empress and strike at the first opportunity.

Yet after a long while, the Ancestral Dragon egg grew calm once more. Ye Chen frowned and released his divine sense to probe. The Ancestral Dragon egg was special; even his divine sense could not penetrate it.

Yet he vaguely sensed that after absorbing the Baxia heart essence, the hatching progress of the Ancestral Dragon egg had greatly advanced. Dragon might had already begun to flow. Ye Chen estimated that in at most a dozen years or so this son of the Ancestral Dragon would be able to formally birth.

Ye Chen's expression immediately turned somewhat listless. First, there was no multiplier, and second, it would still take more than ten years. In that much time, he himself might already be able to thrash Immortal Kings.

This caused his expectations for the Ancestral Dragon egg to grow lower and lower. He even somewhat wanted to hand the Ancestral Dragon egg over to Lu Jing and have her make him a bowl of egg-drop soup…

Ye Chen glanced at it a few more times, then shook his head listlessly and returned his mind to his body. After thinking for a moment, he estimated there would be some trouble once they left, possibly similar to the selection in the Immortal Realm.

Therefore, he collected the Immortal Eyes floating in the sky that recorded these people, intending to use them as evidence later. Afterward, he sat quietly beside the curvaceous Shen Qingge and gazed at her intently.

Shen Qingge's Longevity Bone had been dug out, and she wished to recover it. When he himself reached the Origin Immortal realm and began tempering and elevating his bones, would there not be an opportunity for gifting?

At the thought, Ye Chen's eyes brightened slightly. Flesh and blood origin essence for the little witch, bone origin essence for Shen Qingge to grow her bones. Shen Qingge truly was his lucky star. Yet when the time came, he would have to present the gift in front of Shen Qinghuan. Only then might a special reward be triggered.

After pondering for a moment, Ye Chen began cultivating, using the endless flesh and blood power within the Mixed Origin Blood Sea Star Core to temper his own body…

…

In this manner, a single day passed in the blink of an eye. The grotto-heaven transformed, and an exit emerged. Bogu immediately showed an expectant expression, yet he dared not move and instead looked toward Ye Chen.

Ye Chen originally did not care, yet he also feared that if he were absent, this fellow might go out alone and spout nonsense. Therefore, he lifted his eyes indifferently. "Wait there and leave together with us when the time comes!"

Bogu nodded at once and squatted down again with trembling. Although terror filled his heart and he did not know why Ye Chen insisted on keeping him, could it be that the outside was too noisy and Ye Chen intended to keep him as a hostage? Yet he was merely a waste from an Immortal Monarch family. Who would take him seriously? Still, he dared neither speak nor ask, and could only shrink quietly.

In this way, another seven days passed in the blink of an eye. Ye Chen sensed the changes in his own flesh and blood and smiled. In about a year's time, he would roughly be able to refine his flesh and blood to the peak. After gifting something to the little demoness, he could attempt to break through to the Origin Immortal realm.

At that moment, Shen Qingge also slowly opened her almond eyes. Joy filled those spring-water-like pupils. This time her progress had been enormous. She was confident that within a year she could elevate her flesh and blood to the King grade and then perfectly break through to the Origin Immortal realm. All of this had undoubtedly been brought by Ye Chen.

"After reaching the peak of the Ancestral Immortal realm, I attempted to condense an imprint as a gift for you, leaving it for Qingge to protect yourself."

Seeing that Shen Qingge had finished, Ye Chen smiled gently. An imprint flew out from between his brows and shot toward the center of Shen Qingge's brows.

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingge immediately smiled. Ye Chen was indeed very strong, yet an imprint possessed only one-tenth the combat strength of the main body, and she herself was about to break through to the Origin Immortal realm. The significance of this imprint was truly not great. Yet it represented Ye Chen's feelings toward her. He truly loved her so much and did everything in his power to protect her.

Without the slightest hesitation, Shen Qingge opened the center of her brows to the extreme, allowing the imprint Ye Chen sent to enter smoothly into the deepest part of her sea of consciousness.

On Ye Chen's side, seeing Shen Qingge accept it directly, the corners of his mouth curved upward. In his mind, the system notification voice rang out in turn…

Chapter 1412: Yu Tuo, Save Me!

Inside Ye Chen's mind, the system notification voice rang out. "Congratulations to the host for successfully gifting…"

"Gift presented: imprint of an Ancestral Immortal realm avatar of the host himself!"

"Eight hundred and eighty thousand times feedback in progress…"

"Triggering maximum critical feedback…"

"Triggering critical strike feedback…"

"Feedback: imprint of Yu Tuo's avatar!"

"Imprint of Yu Tuo's avatar: Yu Tuo was once the foremost king of the Nineteenth Realm, yet surrendered without battle and joined the First Realm. This imprint was condensed by Yu Tuo during his period as an Immortal King giant…"

Ye Chen looked at the introduction and raised his eyebrows. Yu Tuo? Who was this? Although he originated from the Nineteenth Realm, he had been the strongest of that realm. Anyone capable of becoming the foremost was absolutely extraordinary. This person should still carry considerable prestige in the First Realm. It was not bad at all.

Truthfully, Ye Chen felt it was even more useful than exploding with an imprint of the Heavenly Emperor. Using a Heavenly Emperor imprint in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths would only attract greater attention and enlarge the matter.

After all, from what Ye Chen knew, the Heavenly Emperor had caused no small amount of trouble in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths back then. Quite a few Immortal Kings still ground their teeth at the mere mention of him.

Someone like that supposedly impressive He Wushuang might even come over to take a look. An imprint of a great expert from the First Realm was different. Even if the imprint's combat strength was insufficient, it could still completely let him borrow the tiger's might.

Judging by the status of the First Realm in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, if he simply shouted "Yu Tuo, save me!" and then summoned the imprint, few would dare to act.

Ye Chen was extremely satisfied with the feedback result. The full week of extra waiting had not been in vain. Shen Qingge was truly his lucky star. The feedback was fierce, and later he could still gift bones.

Once the bones were gifted and Shen Qingge's Longevity Bone grew out, the multiplier would most likely rise as well. At that time, becoming Dao companions would reduce his cooldown… Perfect. Truly perfect.

Ye Chen could not help taking two more tastes. Shen Qingge, however, showed a hint of reproach. She lightly patted Ye Chen's chest as if telling him not to touch randomly if he was not going to eat…

The anxious Bogu saw this scene and immediately closed his eyes, wondering whether he should seal his five senses once more. Fortunately, Ye Chen was only tasting. He then reluctantly separated, took Shen Qingge's jade hand, and flew toward the outside of the secret realm in a pleasant mood.

Seeing that Ye Chen was truly leaving and did not intend to kill him, Bogu let out a long breath of relief. He immediately followed tightly, terrified that once Ye Chen left the secret realm he would slap the exit to pieces…

…

Outside the secret realm, because the many Immortal Kings were in foul moods, the entire sky seemed to have lowered countless times, pressing down until every heart trembled. The He family Immortal King wore a face full of cold smiles. "The exit of the secret realm has already opened, yet he still has not come out. It seems he knows he has been exposed…"

The other Immortal Kings grew increasingly convinced that the little slaughter god from the Nineteenth Realm had most likely turned cowardly and dared not emerge. Yet for Immortal Kings with their boundlessly long lifespans, waiting a few days or a few years made no difference. Therefore, they felt no urgency and merely scanned the area coldly. This person would have to come out eventually and give them an accounting with his life.

The most anxious one was undoubtedly Immortal King Tuoba. He understood his disciple far too well. It was certainly Ye Chen's doing. Yet the trouble this time was so great that he, as the master, simply had no way to shield Ye Chen from the wind and rain. What should he do? What exactly should he do?

A dignified Immortal King now had his forehead covered in sweat, showing just how frantic he was. He actually hoped Ye Chen would delay as long as possible. Yet the exit of the secret realm only lasted one month. If Ye Chen did not come out within a month, he would have to wait another hundred years. For an Immortal King, however, a hundred years was merely the snap of a finger.

When the secret realm next opened, these Immortal Kings could still remain here. Once the dean and vice dean emerged from seclusion, the secret realm could even be opened directly. No matter how long Ye Chen hid inside, it would be useless.

"If only I had known, why did you not listen to me!" Immortal King Tuoba felt some anger. Yet no matter how angry he grew, what could he do? His own disciple still had to be managed by him.

Immortal King Tuoba understood that he did not possess the face to make the crowd retreat. Yet that person might. The tall and graceful figure surfaced in his mind. She could most likely manage it. The prerequisite, however, was that Ye Chen be her disciple.

Immortal King Tuoba could not help struggling inwardly.

On the one hand, Moon Arrival Immortal King might not necessarily help him. After all, her temperament was far too indifferent. She could only be moved with resources, yet how much would it take to make the other party willingly wade into muddy waters? Immortal King Tuoba dared not even think of it.

On the other hand, he also felt unwilling. Ye Chen was the person he had taken a liking to. He had paved a path of continuous strengthening for Ye Chen. Although Ye Chen's formidable strength had exceeded his expectations, mainly because Ye Chen's talent was even greater, he himself had still expended considerable effort.

Therefore, even if it was merely inviting Moon Arrival Immortal King to become Ye Chen's nominal master so that she could openly protect him, he still felt a little awkward.

Yet this was perhaps the best solution. As long as Ye Chen remained safe, that bit of grievance in his heart counted for nothing. After all, it was he who was too weak and Ye Chen who was too outstanding. It was he who was useless and unable to protect Ye Chen. Not to mention, it would only be nominal. Ye Chen's true master would still be him in the end.

Immortal King Tuoba lightly gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind. He immediately split off a strand of divine sense and sent it flying toward the divine peak of Moon Arrival Immortal King, which had remained silent and shown no reaction.

…

At the same time, the long-silent exit of the secret realm finally stirred. Endless immortal light gathered, and three figures slowly flew out from within. The expressionless, indifferent eyes of the many Immortal Kings immediately turned and swept over them. The vast pressure was terrifying to the extreme. The sky lowered even further.

The three who emerged from the secret realm at once saw one terrifying phantom after another standing beyond the void, calmly looking down upon them. The pressure that was not deliberately released yet naturally drifted outward was far too terrifying, and their gazes weighed a thousand catties.

Bogu's entire skeleton, flesh, and skin instantly crackled and exploded; his whole body collapsed directly. Blood mist covered him from head to toe, and extreme terror filled his eyes. Anyone who walked out the door only to be stared at by so many Immortal Kings would be frightened to death.

Ye Chen, however, merely narrowed his eyes slightly, pulled Shen Qingge into his embrace, and shared the pressure for her. In his eyes there was not the slightest reverence, panic, or fear. There was only emotion.

The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were indeed far more formidable than the Immortal Realm. When he had stirred up trouble in the Immortal Realm and come out, there had only been a few Immortal Kings, and their strength had felt ordinary.

Yet upon arriving in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, every Immortal King who appeared looked extremely fierce, and for the mere harvest of a single secret realm, more than twenty had come. One could see just how terrifying the strength of this foreign region was.

Seeing that Ye Chen, a mere Ancestral Immortal, could face so many Immortal Kings with such composure, quite a few Immortal Kings raised their eyebrows slightly and sighed over Ye Chen's talent. Correspondingly, their killing intent also grew denser.

The He family Immortal King, killing intent heavy, was about to open his mouth to make trouble. No one expected that Immortal King Tuoba would strike first. "Bogu, you have harmed so many prodigy disciples. What crime should you be punished with?"

Chapter 1413: Do You Hear What You Are Saying?

"Bogu, do not attempt to take your own life. Immediately submit and allow yourself to be captured…"

As the words fell, a large hand reached straight toward Bogu.

Bogu's eyes instantly widened.

Me? Harming prodigy disciples? Do you want to listen to what you are saying? Inside the secret realm, I did not even kill an ant. Besides, who could I kill? As an Ancestral Immortal sequence disciple ranked beyond eight hundred, how could my meager strength bear such a heavy black pot?

Despair filled his eyes. He had truly not expected to escape death at Ye Chen's hands only to die at the hands of Ye Chen's master.

Ye Chen watched the scene, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Was Immortal King Tuoba not supposed to be a good-natured old man? Why was he so decisive at this moment? Was all of this for his sake? Immortal King Tuoba, he was truly… about to cry…

…

The He family Immortal King was also shocked. The War God Academy fell under the direct jurisdiction of the First Realm and had many rules. Unless a disciple offended an Immortal King, even an Immortal King could not casually strike at a disciple of the War God Academy.

By acting this way, Immortal King Tuoba would be fined a considerable amount of immortal crystals and would also be stripped of his status as a garrison Immortal King of the War God Academy.

In the future, he would have no share of the various top-tier resources exclusive to the First Realm, the benefits, or even certain special campaign opportunities. The losses could be called severe. Immortal King Tuoba was truly willing to sacrifice for this disciple, Ye Chen.

Yet with so many Immortal Kings present, it was of course impossible to watch Immortal King Tuoba so blatantly frame and silence someone. Several Great Daos immediately trembled, excavating the space around Bogu and forcibly protecting him.

Immortal King Tuoba had indeed intended to go all out and protect Ye Chen no matter what. Now that the attempt had fallen through, his face turned ugly.

The He family Immortal King sneered with sarcasm. "Our younger generation descendants have fallen, yet we are not so anxious. Fellow Daoist Tuoba is truly warm-hearted in the old ways! Yet even if Fellow Daoist Tuoba is acting out of kindness, he must still clarify the beginning and the end. When the time comes, and we find the true culprit, Immortal King Tuoba may then act on our behalf and erase the true culprit. It will not be too late…"

Immortal King Tuoba's teeth itched from the sarcasm, yet he was helpless. Only then did the He family Immortal King look at Bogu, who had survived the disaster and was still trembling, and speak. "Tell us what happened inside the secret realm. Let me see whether someone deliberately infiltrated our War God Academy and took the opportunity to slaughter our top prodigies."

Bogu instantly became the focus. Trembling, he lowered his head and spoke. "In the Ancient Relic Species Secret Realm, perhaps too many powerful cultivators entered this time, so the remnant species' vengeful spirits that formed were far too strong. The vast majority of disciples died in the first stage, leaving only forty-eight. After entering the second stage… those prodigies conflicted with Fellow Daoist Ye Chen and fell at Fellow Daoist Ye Chen's hands."

Bogu related everything he had seen and heard inside the secret realm. At his words, the many Immortal Kings raised their eyebrows. So many had already died in the first stage? This was truly unprecedented. Their gazes could not help sweeping toward Ye Chen.

Clearly, it was Ye Chen who, with his own power alone, had raised the strength of the remnant species' vengeful spirits. This youth was truly a monster. If the He Wushuang of that year had encountered this youth at the Ancestral Immortal realm, he would probably have died inside as well, would he not?

The crowd pondered, yet their killing intent grew even denser. The He family Immortal King's face also turned especially ugly. Ye Chen had only killed a little over forty? Although the number was not small, it was difficult to pin the label of harming the prodigies of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths on him.

On Ye Chen's side, seeing that the He family Immortal King still wished to pick faults, he immediately summoned the Immortal Eyes he had collected earlier. In an instant, more than forty segments of images from different angles appeared… The more than forty segments of images played, essentially expressing the same events from different angles.

In the scenes, Ye Chen was besieged; the crowd intended to surround and kill him. Then Ye Chen used the power of the Great Luo Time Law to suppress, imprison, and seal everyone. Afterward, he shook them to death one by one. It was truly simpler than slaughtering pigs. No wonder the soul lamps had extinguished one after another like dominoes.

Watching the prodigies they had valued die so silently, like ants, and seeing some prodigies perform poorly in the face of death, tears and snot streaming, was even more humiliating. Yet the darkest face belonged to the Immortal King of the Shi family.

Although the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths had never emphasized brotherly affection, asking one's enemy on the verge of death to send one's younger brother along the road as well was still far too outrageous. It would turn the Shi family into a laughingstock.

The Shi family ancestor lost patience. With a single thought, all the Immortal Eyes shattered, and the images vanished. The many Immortal Kings did not mind this point. What they had seen they would remember for a lifetime. Yet the content of the images made all their faces turn ugly.

"This is the Mixed Origin Great Luo Time Law… Only something of this level could leave the other disciples without the slightest power to resist."

The Immortal Kings were knowledgeable and experienced. From the multi-angle images playing back and forth, they discerned certain things and immediately narrowed their eyes toward Ye Chen.

Immortal King Tuoba was also shocked.

The Mixed Origin Great Luo Law was the most complete form of Great Luo Law; its strength was fundamentally incomparable to Multiverse Great Luo Laws. Yet in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, only the First Realm possessed an extremely special secret realm where one could attempt to condense and comprehend a Multiverse Great Luo Law.

It was said to be related to the shattered Kunlun Blessed Land of the most terrifying great world they had once encountered—the Primordial Great World. Even so, in the First Realm, only one person every ten thousand years qualified to enter and cultivate, comprehending the Multiverse Great Luo Law they required.

As a result, Ye Chen had actually mastered a Mixed Origin Great Luo Law. What was going on? Was Ye Chen connected to the First Realm? Or did Ye Chen possess some other opportunity?

The eyes of the many Immortal Kings flickered as they stared fixedly at Ye Chen, wishing to see through him. Yet within the range of their vision, it was not that they could not see through him. From the inside out, Ye Chen simply looked ordinary, truly average. The more they looked, however, the more the Immortal Kings felt that Ye Chen carried some great secret.

Ye Chen did not fear the gazes of the Immortal Kings and spoke earnestly. "Master and all the seniors present have seen it. These images were recorded by the prodigies themselves; their impartiality is beyond question. This battle occurred entirely because they coveted the resources on my body and also wished to seize the Cycle Blood Renewal Pill from my fiancée. Driven by greed, they intended to besiege me! I was purely acting in self-defense!"

Ye Chen spoke with righteous conviction and not the slightest embarrassment. After all, he was telling the truth. The faces of the many Immortal Kings turned gloomy. Besides Immortal Kings, there were also Immortal Monarchs present. For dignified Immortal Kings to pressure Ye Chen would be somewhat face-losing. Therefore, an Immortal Monarch stepped forward.

An Immortal Monarch of the He family glared at Ye Chen with fury. He was He Yu's father. His own talent was mediocre; after cultivating for a million years, he still had no hope of becoming an Immortal King. He had given birth to a qilin son, He Yu, and had always held high expectations.

Over these years, he had given all his resources to He Yu, hoping only that He Yu would achieve the Immortal King realm and then pull his father up with him. As a result, so many years of investment had all been lost. His chance to turn his life around was completely gone. Therefore, his hatred toward Ye Chen had reached the extreme.

"Ye Chen, they had already begged for mercy and were even willing to pay a price to redeem their lives. Why did you still refuse to stop?"

Chapter 1414: I Suspect You Are Putting on an Act for Me!

"Your killing intent is so heavy, yet you still dare claim you did nothing wrong?"

Ye Chen looked completely indifferent. "These people all came from great families. Who knows whether they might seek out their elders to retaliate against me later? Rather than suffer retaliation, I of course struck first to gain the upper hand. Otherwise, the one to die would certainly have been me!

"Besides, our Nine Heavens and Ten Earths have always followed the law of the strong preying on the weak, with the strong as the honored. These wastes dared to challenge the strong with weakness and the superior with inferiority, so they naturally deserved death. You actually use such common sense to question me?

"I suspect you are not a native of our Nine Heavens and Ten Earths but have been possessed by an extraterritorial heavenly demon. I request the various Immortal Kings to act and extract this person's divine soul for examination…"

The many Immortal Kings watched Ye Chen's complete lack of fear, narrowed their eyes, and fell into deep thought.

He Yu's father had truly not expected that Ye Chen would still dare to be so arrogant before so many Immortal Kings, even turning the tables on him. He trembled with rage.

"Was it not you who deliberately flaunted your wealth and deliberately attracted so many disciples to enter the secret realm with you? That they acted is entirely your fault."

Facing He Yu's father's accusation, Ye Chen laughed again. "I have good fortune and abundant resources—what is wrong with that? Just because they learned of my abundant resources does that mean I seduced them and deserve to be robbed by them?

"If a female cultivator dresses a little more lightly and is seen by a man, does that mean she seduced the man and deserves to be… whatever? What exactly has happened to this Nine Heavens and Ten Earths? Clearly the villains committed the wrong, yet they turn around and accuse us of resisting too strongly. Truly enough to make one shake with cold…"

He Yu's father's face turned green. What nonsense was Ye Chen spouting? Was this even the same thing? Female cultivators might dress lightly, yet they did not deliberately attract male cultivators only to counter-kill them. Ye Chen's actions, however, had been fishing from the very beginning. He Yu's father could no longer speak.

Immortal King Tuoba set his mind at ease. Although the more than forty Ye Chen had killed were the strongest, Ye Chen had only killed a little over forty. This truly did not count as too severe. He held the moral high ground. The War God Academy could not expel Ye Chen. As long as Ye Chen did not leave the War God Academy, absolutely no one would be able to act against him.

The He family Immortal King, however, narrowed his eyes toward Bogu and spoke coldly. "Bogu, lying before Immortal Kings is unwise. Speak the truth…"

The He family Immortal King had seen that Bogu was concealing something. As the words fell, an invisible special power surged, causing Bogu's expression to become dazed, as if he were drunk…

Immortal King Tuoba immediately looked toward Ye Chen with probing, worried eyes. Ye Chen smiled confidently and shook his head slightly, indicating there was no need to worry. He had not colluded with Bogu in any way, still less coerced Bogu into lying.

Therefore, no matter how much the Immortal Kings asked, it would be meaningless… because he had acted uprightly and sat properly. He said he had killed a little over forty, so he had killed a little over forty. Thus Ye Chen watched Bogu with absolute confidence. Immortal King Tuoba also set his mind at ease.

At that moment, under the gazes of everyone present, Bogu spoke with a slightly mechanical tone. "I did indeed lie…"

Instantly, the crowd narrowed their eyes. Ye Chen's eyes also widened…

Bogu continued immediately. "Because I feared Ye Chen's retaliation, I did not dare speak the truth… In reality, the majority of the prodigy disciples who died in the first stage should have been killed by Ye Chen. His combat strength is too powerful, exceeding the limits an Ancestral Immortal can reach. He can shatter spatial walls and travel to the spaces where others reside.

"The remnant species' vengeful spirit in the space I occupied was killed by Ye Chen. When I left the first stage, I also saw a large number of shattered spatial walls. Therefore, I am certain it was him…

"Because the heart of flesh-and-blood essence gathered at the end of the secret realm was fully several times larger in scale than the usual precedent. This was clearly Ye Chen deliberately killing people to nourish his fiancée Shen Qingge and greatly elevate her flesh and blood…"

When Bogu finished speaking, he directly fainted on the spot. No one moved to support him. Everyone stared at Ye Chen in disbelief. Even the Immortal Kings' eyes held several unusual colors…

Ye Chen could shatter the internal spatial walls of the Ancient Relic Species Secret Realm? Was this truly something an Ancestral Immortal could achieve? No one among predecessors had ever managed all of this. Just how strong was Ye Chen? Just how terrifying was Ye Chen's talent?

What left them feeling most outrageous, however, was still Ye Chen's actions. Killing countless prodigies solely to elevate the flesh-and-blood essence within the secret realm's heart?

If it had been for his own use, they could have understood. The prodigies of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths all behaved that way, harming others to benefit themselves. Yet Ye Chen had done it to gift something while acting as a devoted simp… This was truly…

Quite a few people looked at Ye Chen with anger. If any of them possessed Ye Chen's talent, how could they possibly act as someone's devoted simp? It should be every woman under heaven coming to fawn over them. Spineless. Truly far too spineless. Many felt furious at his lack of ambition.

The Immortal Kings gazed at Ye Chen, their killing intent growing heavier. Ye Chen was truly an unprecedented monster, more dazzling than the He Wushuang of that year or even the Heavenly Emperor who had come to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths to cause trouble. If he grew up, how large a slice of the cake would he take? They could not accept such an impressive prodigy appearing outside their own families. This youth had to die…

The He family Immortal King's expression was icy as vast pressure crashed down toward Ye Chen. "Ye Chen, what else do you have to say? You still claim you are not a remnant of those fallen realms. What exactly is your purpose in infiltrating our War God Academy?"

Immortal King Tuoba, upon hearing Bogu speak of Ye Chen, actually felt a trace of pride and excitement. This disciple of his was truly too fierce. Of course, he could not watch his disciple be bullied with open eyes.

He immediately stepped in front of Ye Chen and blocked the vast pressure from the Immortal King. "Old Sixth He, the matter has not yet been clarified, yet you dare oppress my disciple. Do you wish to fight me? Ye Chen, do not be afraid. Master will protect you!"

Ye Chen stood behind his master, somewhat moved. Yet the blank confusion on his face still could not be concealed. No… what was this Bogu fellow saying? When had he ever done such a thing? If he had not wanted to enter the second stage more quickly, why would he have bothered shattering spatial walls and running over to Bogu's place?

As a result, this little fellow had not dared to move, and that was one thing. Now he was still solemnly spouting nonsense and stabbing him in the back. After so many years… Ye Chen was experiencing the feeling of being wronged for the first time.

He gritted his teeth as he looked at the fainted Bogu and the He family Immortal King whose face was full of cold intent. He somewhat suspected that these two dog things were putting on an act for him, were they not?

…

At that moment, the many Immortal Kings also spoke. "Bogu did not speak falsehoods. I examined him with divine arts…"

"I as well. I can prove that Bogu's words just now all came from the heart…"

"Immortal King Tuoba, this disciple of yours has problems. He deliberately slaughtered so many prodigies, nearly causing a generational gap among the young prodigies of the Ancestral Immortal realm, and harbors malicious intent…"

"This youth ought to be expelled from the War God Academy, stripped of his disciple qualifications, and subjected to investigation to see whether there are still obstructors behind him."

"Tuoba, step aside!"

The many Immortal Kings spoke in unison, pressuring Immortal King Tuoba to yield and abandon Ye Chen…

Chapter 1415: Immortal King Tuoba's Emotion!

The many kings collectively released vast pressure that suppressed Ye Chen. Even with Immortal King Tuoba blocking in front, Shen Qingge's entire body trembled violently under that pressure.

Yet she still gritted her teeth and spoke. "I am a daughter of the Shen family. Ye Chen is my fiancé. Do the various seniors intend to act against my fiancé without any evidence, trusting only one side of the story, and thus make an enemy of my Shen family?"

The Immortal Kings, however, did not even glance at Shen Qingge. The Shen family was certainly powerful. Yet existences as formidable as themselves could never care about the threat of a mere Ancestral Immortal. Immortal Kings and ordinary Immortals simply did not exist in the same world. Such beings would naturally never alter their will because of a single Ancestral Immortal.

In the distance, the disciples and elders trembled while also sighing with emotion. So many Immortal Kings demanded Ye Chen's death. Ye Chen was truly finished. Quite a few were happy to see it happen.

Shi Hu, however, felt some regret. Ye Chen had indeed killed his elder brothers and the others. The top one thousand disciples of the Ancestral Immortal sequence in the War God Academy had also nearly all died.

He himself would next rely on vast resources to advance by leaps and bounds, rising with the tide. He had originally planned to wait until the Origin Immortal realm for another attempt. As a result, Ye Chen was about to die. It was truly a pity…

…

The most furious at this moment was undoubtedly Immortal King Tuoba. Yet the crowd paid no regard to him blocking the way; their will was already decided.

Immortal King Tuoba's face turned gloomy. "Ye Chen is currently a disciple of our War God Academy. No one can act against him inside the War God Academy. By doing this, are you not afraid of angering the First Realm?"

The He family Immortal King immediately smiled. "This youth has committed a monstrous crime, and his origins are highly problematic. He ought to be expelled!"

Immortal King Tuoba clenched his fists. "Expelling a disciple requires the personal word of the dean and vice dean!"

The He family Immortal King's smile remained unchanged. "Yet you have forgotten that the garrison Immortal Kings also possess such authority. As long as more than ten Immortal Kings agree, he may be expelled…"

Immortal King Tuoba swept his gaze across the garrison Immortal Kings present. There were twenty garrison Immortal Kings in total, and thirteen had come. Seven of them, like the He family Immortal King, radiated killing intent toward Ye Chen.

These were the ones whose juniors had died at Ye Chen's hands. The remaining six, although standing in the distance and not intervening, by not intervening already displayed an attitude.

Immortal King Tuoba's heart completely sank. He gloomily scanned everyone before him, then sighed once and turned back to look at Ye Chen. "Disciple, it is Master who is useless and cannot protect you! If I were a little stronger, how would they dare treat you this way!"

Ye Chen immediately shook his head upon hearing this. Truthfully, at such a critical juncture, Immortal King Tuoba still stood firmly by his side. He treated him truly well—comparable even to his eldest senior brother of that year, and even more wholehearted than the eldest senior brother.

Yet on his own side? He had gone behind Immortal King Tuoba's back and secretly colluded with his master, the Western Empress. This already deeply wronged Immortal King Tuoba. How could he demand still more?

Although Ye Chen felt he had been played by that Bogu fellow, being targeted by the many Immortal Kings was still a matter of course. Not to mention that Ye Chen had long since made preparations, so he felt not the slightest panic. He intended to summon the newly obtained imprint and end the matter quickly.

Yet at that very moment, a transmission from Immortal King Tuoba entered Ye Chen's mind. "Although I cannot protect you, it does not matter. Someone can protect you now! Do not be afraid. A turning point will come soon…"

Ye Chen was stunned upon hearing this… Someone could protect him? Who?

Ye Chen was slightly startled, yet a tall figure involuntarily surfaced in his mind. His expression grew complicated. Truthfully, even if it was for the sake of keeping their relationship secret, the fact that his master the Western Empress had not come while he was being besieged by a host of Immortal Kings still left Ye Chen deeply disappointed.

A master who could not be counted on at a critical moment held no meaning for him. Deep down, Ye Chen had even considered giving up and wholeheartedly becoming Tuoba Immortal King's disciple from then on.

Yet with Tuoba Immortal King's words just now, Ye Chen once more felt that his master the Western Empress had probably neither failed to come nor failed to pay attention. She was simply waiting for an opportunity—an opportunity that would allow their master-disciple relationship to stand openly in the sunlight and be revealed to everyone.

And now that opportunity seemed to have arrived. If that was truly the case, Ye Chen gazed at the broad back of Tuoba Immortal King standing protectively before him, and the guilt in his eyes only deepened.

Within Moon Arrival Immortal King's cave dwelling, Moon Arrival Immortal King slightly furrowed her sharp brows. As if overly astonished, she could not help asking in return, "What did you say?"

Before Moon Arrival Immortal King, a wisp of Tuoba Immortal King's divine sense incarnation sighed and spoke once more. "I wish to ask Moon Arrival Fellow Daoist to accept Ye Chen as your personal disciple on my behalf."

Moon Arrival Immortal King tightened her brows. "What do you mean? That disciple of yours is not bad, yet he is not so outstanding that I would need to snatch him. Moreover, I have no interest in taking disciples. Otherwise, I would not have gone until now without accepting a single personal disciple."

Even Tuoba Immortal King's divine sense incarnation hung its head dejectedly. "That is not it. He is simply too outstanding. I cannot protect him. At present, numerous Immortal Kings have descended and even set traps targeting Ye Chen. Only by becoming your personal disciple can he escape this calamity."

After hearing the explanation, Moon Arrival Immortal King's brows loosened a little, yet when she scanned the distance, she frowned again. "Among that group there are four giants, nine peak experts, and so many flawless Immortal Kings. With such aggressive momentum, even if I step forward and put on a show, they will probably not easily back down.

"Not to mention that Ye Chen killed their descendants. If I accept Ye Chen, would that not make me an enemy of all those people? I am already locked in a life-and-death feud with the Seven Extremes Heavenly Maiden. How can I provoke so many more enemies? Fellow Daoist Tuoba, this proposal of yours is far too presumptuous."

Moon Arrival Immortal King had understood, yet she refused outright. This did not exceed Tuoba Immortal King's expectations. Moon Arrival Immortal King was precisely this sort of person. If Moon Arrival Immortal King had agreed, Tuoba Immortal King would instead have grown worried that the other truly intended to snatch his disciple or had long since become entangled with him.

Tuoba Immortal King gave a bitter smile. "I know this matter puts Moon Arrival Fellow Daoist in a difficult position, yet I truly have no other options left. That disciple of mine possesses such high talent, yet his mentality has some problems.

"Clearly, losing his parents in childhood and suffering bullying affected his mind. As his master, I am useless and cannot protect my own disciple. Therefore, I must ask Moon Arrival Fellow Daoist to help no matter what. I have here something obtained from a broken world beyond the domains…"

As he spoke, Tuoba Immortal King produced a supreme treasure he had prepared long ago. Yet Moon Arrival Immortal King said nothing.

Tuoba Immortal King shook his head, knowing that such a small offering could not move Moon Arrival Immortal King. No longer holding anything back, he raised his hand again and brought out several more treasures. "I also have these obtained from the First Realm. This scale fell when the Ancestral Dragon perished years ago. And this key…"

Tuoba Immortal King brought out everything that might possibly be of use to Moon Arrival Immortal King. Yet the Moon Arrival Immortal King opposite him still remained silent.

At that moment, Tuoba Immortal King felt complete despair in his heart. He was already preparing to fight a full-scale battle. Even if his Dao fruit was destroyed, he would still carve out a path of survival for Ye Chen. His true body was already racing toward the War God Academy at full speed.

Tuoba Immortal King slowly rose. "It was I who overstepped. I have disturbed you. I shall take my leave at once." With those words, this wisp of his divine sense incarnation prepared to depart.

Yet at that very moment, Moon Arrival Immortal King sighed, opened her eyes, and looked at Tuoba Immortal King. "Forget it. Take all of those back. I will help you this once and consider it repayment for the favors I still owe you from before."

Tuoba Immortal King's eyes widened at once upon hearing this. Moon Arrival Immortal King slowly stood. "Yet Ye Chen will only be my personal disciple in name. His true master remains you. Everything he requires for cultivation hereafter will still be your responsibility. If you do not manage it, I will not interfere in the slightest."

Tuoba Immortal King's eyes reddened at that moment. "Moon Arrival Fellow Daoist, what are you saying? Everything Ye Chen needs will naturally be my responsibility. That you are willing to help at this moment already leaves me endlessly grateful. How could I dare seek anything more? Yet you must accept these items. Thank you. Truly, thank you. This is genuine friendship revealed only in times of adversity."

Tuoba Immortal King was moved beyond measure. Cultivating a disciple of course consumed a great deal.

Take Ye Chen, for example. On the surface, it appeared Tuoba Immortal King had not expended much, yet in reality every secret realm Ye Chen entered and every trial contest he participated in required points. Some particularly precious ones even demanded corresponding authority.

After all, no matter how many secret realms the War God Academy possessed, they were still insufficient for so many disciples to share. If anyone could enter every time, chaos would naturally ensue.

Ordinary disciples had to complete missions and accumulate points, painstakingly gathering them over years or even decades before they could choose the secret realm most suitable for themselves.

Yet what of Ye Chen? He needed to worry about nothing. Nearly every secret realm was open for him to enter at will, all of it resolved by Tuoba Immortal King. Still, these were precisely the duties a master ought to fulfill.

Tuoba Immortal King's eyes rested on the standing Moon Arrival Immortal King as he spoke once more with earnestness. "Thank you. Please accept them."

The standing Moon Arrival Immortal King looked down at Tuoba Immortal King and shook her head. "You are indeed a good person and have helped me a great deal. I will not accept anything this time. But only this once. That is enough."

Moon Arrival Immortal King had always been a decisive and straightforward character. Since she had agreed, she strode straight out of the cave dwelling with large steps. Watching Moon Arrival Immortal King's departing back, this wisp of Tuoba Immortal King's divine sense felt his eyes grow moist.

Had Moon Arrival Immortal King been the sort of person who delighted in helping others, Tuoba Immortal King might not have been so deeply moved. The problem was that over so many years Moon Arrival Immortal King had treated everyone with icy coldness.

Yet at this critical moment, because of his request, she disregarded the risk of making enemies of so many Immortal Kings and offered help while accepting nothing at all. That truly moved him beyond words. In his heart, he resolved that in the future he must earnestly repay Moon Arrival Immortal King.

Moreover, it would not be himself alone. If Moon Arrival Immortal King helped save Ye Chen today, he would also inform Ye Chen of how much Moon Arrival Immortal King had sacrificed to rescue him. When Ye Chen rose in the future and grew stronger, he must repay Moon Arrival Immortal King properly and respect her as a true master.

Chapter 1416: Can Disciples Be Held as Proxies?

"Tuoba Immortal King, are you still not stepping aside? Eh, an Immortal King's eyes are actually red? Is that really necessary?" The Immortal King of the He Clan suddenly showed a trace of disdain.

Tuoba Immortal King's aged face flushed at the remark. He stared fixedly at the He Clan Immortal King. "What the hell do you understand?"

On Ye Chen's side, after hearing the He Clan Immortal King's words, he also noticed that Tuoba Immortal King's eyes were red. His heart grew even more moved. Tuoba Immortal King truly cared about this disciple of his. By comparison, his orthodox master, the Western Empress, was rather lacking.

Was she coming or not? Whether she could help was one matter, yet whether she appeared at all was a question of attitude. In short, Ye Chen had already decided. If the Western Empress did not come, he would no longer take her seriously in the future. Their master-disciple relationship and the like would simply be treated as nonexistent.

"Tuoba Immortal King, are you still not stepping aside? We will naturally follow procedure afterward and expel Ye Chen from the War God Academy. Do you insist on making enemies of us all?" The He Clan Immortal King sneered once more, intending to force Tuoba Immortal King back.

Yet at this moment, Tuoba Immortal King had grown calm. He rose with leisurely composure. "Do as you please. Ye Chen is actually not my disciple. I was merely holding him as a proxy for someone else for a period of time in order to test his character and talent. If you insist on making a move against Ye Chen, then go speak with his true master yourselves."

At those words, everyone's eyebrows rose at once. A proxy? Was this disciple business something that could be held as a proxy?

Not to mention how much importance Tuoba Immortal King placed on Ye Chen—it looked nothing like a proxy arrangement and far more like treating him as the heir to his mantle. Therefore, no one believed it in the slightest.

Moreover, even if it were a proxy, so what? So many Immortal Kings had descended; this was already a great trend. Whoever came would be useless.

On Ye Chen's side, he also raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. Just now he had already suspected. Now he was certain. His master the Western Empress had never appeared not because she did not care about him, but because she had truly seized this opportunity.

Yet gazing at Tuoba Immortal King's back, Ye Chen felt even greater guilt. Now that he was about to be able to stand openly and properly with his master, Ye Chen felt somewhat relieved. He only hoped that Master Western Empress would go a little easy. They already owed Tuoba Immortal King far too much. Afterward, they should not dig any more pits for him.

"Tuoba Immortal King, this Ye Chen must pay the price today. You cannot save him. No one who comes can save him!"

The He Clan Immortal King had no desire to waste further time. He stretched out a Great Dao hand toward Ye Chen. Beneath that massive hand, the sky was blotted out, the Great Dao trembled, and it seemed the entire world was rejecting Ye Chen.

At the same time, several Immortal Kings also lost patience. They fixed their gazes on Tuoba Immortal King as formless power descended, intending to prevent him from continuing to interfere.

Tuoba Immortal King narrowed his eyes. Though he exerted every ounce of strength to block and prop up a stretch of sky for Ye Chen, he was after all only an incarnation. Although he could still erupt with Immortal King-level combat strength by relying on the power of the Great Dao, compared with his true body, the difference was ultimately far too great. Facing so many Immortal Kings, he might not be able to hold them off. Therefore, Tuoba Immortal King could not help glancing into the distance.

At that very moment, a round moon appeared in the firmament. Beams of moonlight transformed into a divine bridge that stretched straight to this place. A tall, graceful figure slowly descended from the divine bridge.

Seeing the newcomer, everyone narrowed their eyes.

Moon Arrival Immortal King!

Although Moon Arrival Immortal King had attained the Dao later than most of those present, she was the most attention-grabbing Immortal King of these past several hundred thousand years. Why had she come?

Wariness appeared in the eyes of quite a few people. Even when facing the He Clan Immortal King, they narrowed their eyes.

Tuoba Immortal King's face lit up with joy. As for Ye Chen, he revealed an expression of "just as expected." This master of his had indeed seized the opportunity to legitimize their master-disciple relationship. Yet looking at Tuoba Immortal King's expression, he was probably still thanking his master, was he not? Master truly had a bit of a mischievous streak!

Under the gazes of the entire crowd, Moon Arrival Immortal King arrived before the He Clan Immortal King along with the flowing moonlight. The He Clan Immortal King lifted his head. "Moon Arrival Immortal King, you…"

Yet before he could finish speaking, Moon Arrival Immortal King raised her hand. A jade-like palm devoid of the slightest worldly aura struck the He Clan Immortal King's face. The He Clan Immortal King was sent flying backward with a thunderous force.

Everyone's eyes widened. Even Tuoba Immortal King had not expected this scene. After all, who could have imagined that Moon Arrival Immortal King would not even bother speaking and simply strike at once?

The firmament fell silent. No one could make sense of the situation. Only the He Clan Immortal King who had been slapped away wore an expression of extreme gloom as he glared furiously at Moon Arrival Immortal King. "Moon Arrival, to strike me without cause is going too far. Do you truly believe my He Clan has no one?"

Moon Arrival Immortal King's expression remained indifferent. She merely raised her sharp eyebrows. "Without cause? Did you not just claim that no one could protect my disciple? That whoever came would be useless? Those were your own words."

The moment Moon Arrival Immortal King spoke, everyone narrowed their eyes once more. Moon Arrival Immortal King was actually Ye Chen's master? Tuoba Immortal King had truly been holding him as a proxy? Yet how was that possible?

Moon Arrival Immortal King was currently the most powerful Immortal King aside from realm-lord level existences. She was also the Immortal King most likely to break through to the rank of supreme giant.

Most importantly, Moon Arrival Immortal King was not merely powerful in strength. Her temperament was equally ruthless and fearless. She dared, over a minor conflict, to eradicate the Seven Extremes orthodoxy, slay the Seven Extremes' incarnation, and even occupy the site to establish a new immortal sect on the spot.

Looking at the mere handful of people within Moon Arrival Holy Land, one could tell that Moon Arrival Immortal King had not even bothered to accept personal disciples. It was clear she had founded the orthodoxy solely to humiliate the Seven Extremes. How great was her audacity?

Moreover, Moon Arrival Immortal King had never paid much heed to personal feelings. As long as the other party could produce resources that moved her heart, she dared to kill anyone. She could be called the most formidable mercenary of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

No one was willing to provoke such a cold and ruthless powerhouse. Yet how could she possibly have accepted a disciple? And a personal disciple at that—this was simply wrong!

Everyone could not help glancing toward Tuoba Immortal King. They all felt that Tuoba Immortal King must have stuffed money into the matter. The He Clan Immortal King's face shifted from red to green and finally turned black.

Lacking confidence yet extremely furious, he stared at Moon Arrival Immortal King. "Moon Arrival Immortal King, you are powerful, yet do not take us for fools. Ye Chen is not your disciple."

The other Immortal Kings also narrowed their eyes. Moon Arrival was powerful, yet they were not ants that could be casually crushed. Not to mention that the present Moon Arrival was only an incarnation.

With so many of them present, they naturally felt no fear and could not tolerate Ye Chen being protected. This youth was a monster whose future was limitless. Since enmity had already been formed, they naturally had to crush him thoroughly and leave no lingering trouble whatsoever.

Therefore, the expressions of these Immortal Kings remained quite cold. "Moon Arrival Immortal King, I have no desire to become your enemy, yet this youth killed my most prized descendant. His crime is unforgivable."

"Moon Arrival Immortal King, your true body is still locked in battle with the Seven Extremes. You should not be provoking further trouble for the sake of resources at this moment."

"We are all Immortal Kings after all. For Moon Arrival Immortal King to falsely claim she is your disciple is a humiliation to us."

"Moon Arrival Immortal King, as long as you withdraw, we will not take the previous matter to heart."

The Immortal Kings one after another made their positions clear and refused to retreat. Yet compared with the way they had spoken to Tuoba Immortal King, their tone was far softer and not particularly overbearing.

The He Clan Immortal King's face darkened as he listened. Only I got beaten, so of course the rest of you do not mind. Still, he dared not say much more and simply stared coldly at Ye Chen. Everything had arisen because of Ye Chen. Ye Chen had to die.

Tuoba Immortal King noticed that everyone still questioned the truth of Moon Arrival Immortal King accepting a disciple and remained unwilling to withdraw. Worry rose in his heart. Of course it was fake.

Yet this was the only chance left to save his disciple. Just as he was thinking how to make everyone believe the two truly shared a master-disciple relationship, Moon Arrival Immortal King retained that same expressionless appearance.

"In my entire life, I have never needed to explain my actions to the likes of you. Yet receiving a personal disciple of such peerless talent across the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths has put me in a rather good mood, so I am willing to let you see for yourselves."

Everyone raised their eyebrows. Tuoba Immortal King was puzzled. Immediately afterward, he watched Moon Arrival Immortal King slowly extend both arms and smile faintly toward Ye Chen. "Good disciple, why have you not come in yet?"

Everyone froze slightly. Moon Arrival Immortal King could actually smile? And so gently? It was truly rare. Yet what was she doing with her arms outstretched? Come in? Come in where?

While the crowd remained astonished, Ye Chen felt his face heat up a little. Previously, everything had been done in secret. Being held in front of so many people now—did he not need any face? Yet since they were going public with their master, some price had to be paid.

Thus Ye Chen flew out horizontally with practiced ease and landed upon Moon Arrival Immortal King's arms. Moon Arrival Immortal King smiled with satisfaction, drew her arms inward, and held Ye Chen horizontally in her embrace.

This time, every Immortal King's eyes widened. Moon Arrival Immortal King was holding a man? And so intimately?

Looking at the posture of the two, there was not the slightest stiffness. Instead, both appeared thoroughly accustomed to it. Only Ye Chen's body, especially his waist, was a little rigid and leaned unnaturally backward.

Yet everyone could understand. After all, it was an Immortal King's embrace; one could not possibly remain completely at ease. But the posture with which the two held each other was so practiced. Someone as proud and lofty as Moon Arrival Immortal King would never lower herself so far for a few resources.

Therefore… could it be true? Had Moon Arrival Immortal King truly accepted a personal disciple? Was Ye Chen the personal disciple of a giant among Immortal Kings? And had Tuoba Immortal King truly only been holding him as a proxy?

Tremendous waves surged through everyone's hearts. All were shocked beyond measure and, for a time, could not speak a word. Tuoba Immortal King himself also stared with widened eyes in shock.

Yet immediately afterward, a smile of relief appeared on his face. Moon Arrival Fellow Daoist and his own disciple were both truly too clever. When outsiders began to doubt, Moon Arrival Fellow Daoist could immediately think of such a brilliant method. Without needing to utter a single extra word, it proved far more effective than a thousand explanations.

And Ye Chen? His reaction was equally swift, and his performance excellent. The practiced movements revealed a familiar attitude, while the slightly rigid body represented the discomfort of being held by an Immortal King.

The two aspects combined were simply perfect; outsiders could detect not the slightest flaw. Even he himself, had he not already known the truth, would have been deceived by the pair.

Yet relief remained relief. Watching his own disciple throw himself into another's arms still left Tuoba Immortal King a little sour. But he could not blame anyone. Moon Arrival Immortal King had certainly been willing to hold this brat Ye Chen only out of consideration for his face.

And Ye Chen had thrown himself into Moon Arrival Immortal King's arms only to preserve his life; he was certainly feeling awkward inside as well. In the end, it was still because he himself was too weak and too useless.

Had he also been a giant among Immortal Kings, why would his disciple have needed to endure such grievance and, in full public view before his very eyes, throw himself into another's embrace?

Chapter 1417: Moon Arrival, Go Easy!

Tuoba Immortal King first watched with considerable heartache. Yet immediately afterward, he discovered that Moon Arrival Immortal King was holding Ye Chen tighter and tighter. Ye Chen's body grew increasingly rigid, his face flushed red, and even his breathing rate quickened considerably.

That left Tuoba Immortal King filled with heartache as he transmitted a message to Moon Arrival Immortal King. "Moon Arrival Fellow Daoist, go easy. Ye Chen currently possesses only a King-grade physical body—his flesh is merely approaching that of an Immortal King.

"Yet you are a true Immortal King, not even on the same level. For the sake of his present physical body, I painstakingly tallied numerous secret realms before selecting the ones most suitable for Ye Chen's harvests and registering him for them, expending endless effort. If you handle him without care and damage his physical body, what then?"

Tuoba Immortal King himself could not bear to hold Ye Chen with such force. Watching Ye Chen being squeezed so tightly by Moon Arrival Immortal King truly pained his heart.

Moon Arrival Immortal King, upon hearing this, did not reply. She merely curved the corners of her lips and lifted her gaze toward the crowd.

"Ye Chen is my sole personal disciple. As for those disciples inside the secret realm, once they enter, life and death are up to fate. If they die, does that somehow become my disciple's fault? Must my disciple then be expelled from the War God Academy? Are you all not being far too overbearing? In short, I advise you to know what is good for you."

Moon Arrival Immortal King was incomparably domineering as her sharp gaze swept across the numerous Guardian Immortal Kings. The Guardian Immortal Kings who had originally supported the He Clan Immortal King now wore hesitant expressions.

For a giant Immortal King like Moon Arrival to hold a male cultivator so tightly showed that their relationship was truly extraordinary. Although the way the two displayed intimacy was rather strange, they were most likely truly master and disciple.

Moreover, Moon Arrival Immortal King was different from Tuoba Immortal King. Tuoba Immortal King was a peak Immortal King. Peak Immortal Kings were also formidable, yet not to the degree that inspired fear. In addition, Tuoba Immortal King was relatively tolerant and not strongly vengeful.

Moon Arrival Immortal King, however, was different. Not only was she a true giant among Immortal Kings, but her style of action was also completely unrestrained, and she would never endure the slightest grievance. Her vengefulness was beyond imagination.

Under such circumstances, the majority of Guardian Immortal Kings simply had no desire to provoke Moon Arrival Immortal King. Thus, for a time they all fell silent.

This scene left Tuoba Immortal King's expression complicated. Previously, most of the Guardian Immortal Kings had stood opposite him, intending to exercise their authority and join forces to suppress Ye Chen. Now that Moon Arrival Fellow Daoist had spoken, everything was different. In the end, he was still too weak.

The Guardian Immortal Kings fell silent. The other Immortal Kings who had come looking for trouble also remained quiet. They were of course unwilling to simply let the matter drop. Yet Ye Chen was a disciple of the War God Academy, and the War God Academy was under the direct jurisdiction of the First Realm.

Outside the War God Academy, it did not matter; they could kill freely. But killing a disciple of the War God Academy within its grounds carried an enormous price and would enrage many people.

Therefore, as long as Ye Chen's status as a War God Academy disciple was not revoked, they could do nothing. Still, they remained unwilling. Their own top-tier prodigies had died, so of course they wished to see someone else's die as well. Not to mention that Ye Chen was truly a monster beyond their imagination. Leaving him unslain made it hard to rest easy.

The Shi Clan Immortal King stared sinisterly at Moon Arrival. "Moon Arrival Fellow Daoist, do you insist on going your own way like this? Are you not afraid that we will head to the battlefield where your true body resides and assist the Seven Extremes Heavenly Maiden in suppressing you? You must understand that you are still only a giant at present, not a supreme giant who no longer fears encirclement."

The other Immortal Kings also fixed Moon Arrival Immortal King with sinister stares. Holding Ye Chen, Moon Arrival Immortal King spoke with a smiling expression. "My battle with the Seven Extremes Heavenly Maiden is merely because I do not wish to let her reclaim her own dojo. That dojo is beneficial to her cultivation.

"I simply refuse to give it to her, so I do not mind fighting her for a few more centuries. Yet if you use this matter to threaten me? What does it matter if I hand the dojo over to the Seven Extremes?

"Should it truly come to that step, you had best hide your own prodigies well. Otherwise, those who come out will find it difficult to return. Moreover, you had best not possess any enemies, or be careful lest I join forces with your enemies and come knocking."

Moon Arrival Immortal King threatened without the slightest reservation. Listening from within her arms, Ye Chen's lips twitched slightly. His own master seemed a bit of a rogue. Yet it made sense.

Master had reincarnated from the Immortal Realm, so the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were her enemies. Under such circumstances, Master truly had no need for any reservations. She could let herself go and fight whoever she wished.

The host of Immortal Kings immediately revealed expressions of fury upon hearing her words. Moon Arrival Immortal King was threatening them—naked, open threats. The threat of a giant Immortal King carried truly serious weight and left them especially enraged. Yet while enraged, they also felt somewhat helpless.

There was no other reason: Moon Arrival Immortal King had no attachments and stood alone. The Moon Arrival Holy Land she had founded did not even possess a single personal disciple and was clearly something she could discard at any moment. Their own families, however, were large and their enterprises vast; they simply could not act as unrestrainedly as Moon Arrival Immortal King.

At once the majority of Immortal Kings fell silent. Fighting alone, they could not win. Encircling her as a group? Moon Arrival Immortal King was no fool; how could she allow herself to be so easily surrounded? And once provoked, judging by Moon Arrival Immortal King's temperament, she would truly fight to the death.

At that thought, everyone felt somewhat stuck between a rock and a hard place. So many Immortal Kings had come yet would return empty-handed—it was truly humiliating.

It seemed the matter was about to end without resolution. Tuoba Immortal King let out a long breath of relief in his heart, sighing over how domineering Moon Arrival Fellow Daoist was.

The moment she appeared, the predicament was resolved. Shen Qingge and Shi Hu were also delighted that Ye Chen's trouble was about to be settled.

Yet at that very moment the He Clan Immortal King stepped forward, a cold smile on his face. "I am highly suspicious of this youth's origins. I have observed many of his actions and found numerous differences in habits compared with the prodigies of our Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

"His inheritances and divine abilities are even more mysterious and have never been displayed to this day. Moreover, his background remains a complete mystery. Added to that are resources that would astonish even Immortal Kings.

"Most importantly, his strength is far too terrifying, vastly exceeding the limits an Ancestral Immortal can reach. I have reason to suspect that this youth is the true spirit reincarnation of some powerful expert from a destroyed world—an enemy of our Nine Heavens and Ten Earths."

The moment the He Clan Immortal King spoke, the entire scene erupted in uproar. True spirit reincarnations of enemy experts had indeed appeared in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths before. Beyond reincarnation, there were also many other methods such as projections and incarnations.

For example, in the Second Realm there had once been a prodigy who obtained a ring containing a residual soul that claimed to be the remnant of an Immortal King. Afterward, that cultivator believed he had obtained a great opportunity and, under the residual soul's guidance, grew stronger all the way.

Finally, when he cultivated to the peak of Immortal Monarch and was about to become an Immortal King, his Dao fruit was seized, and he was replaced. Then, at the most critical moment of a great calamity, the residual soul stabbed him in the back and exploded, killing the giant ancestor of his clan.

Only after that person was besieged and self-detonated did the outside world learn the truth. He had been a residual soul from a destroyed world beyond the domains that had entered the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths by chance along with a plundered treasure.

In short, all manner of such incidents truly occurred frequently within the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. Once discovered, they always became major affairs. In some cases, even the First Realm would turn its attention toward them.

Facing the He Clan Immortal King's interrogation, Ye Chen could clearly feel his master's arms tighten around him for an instant, sinking him even deeper. After all, the He Clan Immortal King had spoken correctly. Yet he himself had merely slipped across. His master was the true spirit reincarnation the He Clan Immortal King described.

The moment the He Clan Immortal King opened his mouth, everyone immediately narrowed their eyes and looked toward Ye Chen.

The He Clan Immortal King stared coldly at Moon Arrival Immortal King. "Moon Arrival, this concerns the safety of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. According to the decree issued by the First Realm years ago, once such signs appear, it is better to kill by mistake than to let one go.

"Anyone who obstructs is further regarded as a traitor. Therefore, Moon Arrival Fellow Daoist, please do not interfere next. Otherwise, I will invite a projection from the First Realm."

Having finished speaking to Moon Arrival Immortal King, the He Clan Immortal King turned coldly toward Ye Chen. "Where in the Nineteenth Realm do you come from? Who is your father? Who are your elders? Which of your elders possesses the highest cultivation?"

Moon Arrival Immortal King remained silent. Tuoba Immortal King also felt somewhat at a loss. After all, they truly did not know these things.

On Ye Chen's side, he naturally had no intention of fabricating anything. Falsehood remained falsehood. Speaking lies would only make it easier for others to expose him and instead invite greater suspicion. Finding someone they dared not question yet who could simultaneously prove his identity would suffice.

Thus the held Ye Chen smiled. "Do you all truly wish to know who my elder is? Then you might as well ask him yourselves."

The He Clan Immortal King raised an eyebrow at once upon hearing this. He had truly observed Ye Chen carefully and was one hundred percent certain that Ye Chen's origins must be problematic.

Combined with Ye Chen's formidable strength and astonishing resources, it was highly possible he was the reincarnation of a great expert or had been possessed by a hidden residual soul. Did such a Ye Chen still have elders?

He did not particularly believe it. The host of Immortal Kings likewise did not believe it. In short, as long as Ye Chen could not produce reasonable information, they would act at the first opportunity and suppress him.

Although the iron rule of the War God Academy forbade making a move against disciples inside its grounds, if the matter concerned an enemy of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, then the safety of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths took higher priority.

Moon Arrival Immortal King also understood this point. A trace of worry appeared in her indifferent eyes as she considered how to escape the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths after turning hostile.

Tuoba Immortal King, on the other hand, felt rather curious. As Ye Chen's master, he ought to meet Ye Chen's clansmen as well.

Under the gazes of the entire crowd, Ye Chen's brow opened wide and activated the newly obtained imprint.

In an instant, endless divine light flooded the entire War God Academy. A peculiar aura of the utmost extremity surged forth.

The numerous Immortal Kings present all felt their bodies sink as their expressions changed drastically.

What kind of existence was this? The aura of a mere imprint was already pressing them until they trembled?

They could even sense that this aura made the Great Daos they controlled shudder. Within the endless divine light, countless Brahma chants also rang out.

"Those who chant my true name shall obtain eternal life within the cycle of reincarnation…"

"Those who see the Emperor yet fail to bow have already lost their true destiny; their names shall be carved upon the Stele of Reincarnation…"

"At the peak of Immortal Kings…"

Who exactly was this? A mere imprint, yet its aura was so terrifying. And its tone was still so arrogant? Ye Chen actually possessed such an elder? Where in the Nineteenth Realm could such a figure come from?

Everyone raised their heads in reverence. Even Moon Arrival Immortal King revealed an expression of wariness.

When the divine light faded and the shadow of that imprint stood tall in the firmament, looking upon that majestic countenance, everyone drew in a sharp breath of cold air.

Chapter 1418: The Emperor Lord!

"Yu Tuo Emperor Lord!"

"Yu Tuo Emperor Lord? The one from the Nineteenth Realm who entered the First Realm?"

"Ye Chen is actually a descendant of Yu Tuo Emperor Lord?"

"How is this possible…"

Everyone was stunned, their eyes wide. The Shi Clan Immortal King present in particular trembled from head to toe. When he had entered the First Realm, he had once been fortunate enough to see this figure. High above all others, he was a supreme personage even within the First Realm.

That was because this individual had truly transcended the Immortal King realm and taken that step—a top-tier existence. Ye Chen actually possessed an imprint of this figure? The realization made him involuntarily shrink back.

Some among the crowd had seen him before; others had not. Yet without exception, all had heard of him. Although this figure possessed a certain past of surrendering without a fight, no one dared discuss it. For such an existence, merely speaking his name directly might allow him to sense it.

High in the firmament, Yu Tuo's tall figure stood calmly, gazing down upon the crowd with indifference. Not the slightest change appeared in his eyes until his gaze swept across Ye Chen. Only then did he speak faintly, "Why do you possess this imprint of mine?"

Ye Chen could clearly feel the arms of his master who held him stiffen upon sensing Yu Tuo's gaze.

Ye Chen had just opened his mouth when Yu Tuo revealed an expression of dissatisfaction. "Before an Emperor, you ought to maintain ten million measures of respect. Descend first before speaking further with me."

Ye Chen's lips twitched slightly. He felt that Yu Tuo was a man who valued formalities. He immediately descended from his master's embrace and then saluted. "Greetings, Senior. This imprint was passed to me by my elder. He said that should I encounter a life-or-death problem I could not resolve, I might offer up this imprint."

Listening to Ye Chen's words, a trace of recollection flashed through Yu Tuo's eyes. He then spoke faintly, "You bear the surname Ye."

Ye Chen lowered his head in salute. In the distance, the crowd all drew in sharp breaths of cold air. The good news was that Ye Chen was not a descendant of Yu Tuo. The bad news was that Ye Chen's ancestors truly shared an old connection with Yu Tuo.

Yu Tuo had come from the Nineteenth Realm years ago and been the peak figure of the Nineteenth Realm as well as its sole Emperor. Sharing an old connection with Ye Chen's ancestors, who likewise originated from the Nineteenth Realm, was not strange.

Yet this also proved that Ye Chen's origins held no problems. And since Ye Chen shared karma with an Emperor, his formidable strength and astonishing resources also became understandable. Everyone felt regret in their hearts.

Yu Tuo seemed to be recalling something. In the end, he lightly sighed, then faintly swept his gaze across the He Clan Immortal King and the others. "Are these the people who wish to kill you?"

Ye Chen looked at Yu Tuo's bearing and relaxed. When he had previously obtained Yu Tuo's imprint, the introduction had said precisely this. It claimed that Yu Tuo possessed a life-and-death friend surnamed Ye who had been an existence at the level of a supreme giant.

That friend had been extremely dissatisfied with Yu Tuo's surrender and had thereafter severed all ties of gratitude and righteousness. He had then led his clan to resist the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and ultimately perished together with his clansmen, body and Dao both extinguished.

This imprint was precisely what Yu Tuo had gifted to his friend's descendants back then. Now that Ye Chen had produced it and also bore the surname Ye, he naturally deceived everyone completely.

Yu Tuo most likely believed that some of his friend's descendants had still survived back then, changed their names, and continued in secrecy until the present day. Regarding this, Ye Chen could only say that the system was truly formidable. Not only did it bestow treasures, but it also bestowed them in a manner that was completely reasonable and left not the slightest flaw.

The moment Yu Tuo spoke, everyone trembled. Facing an Emperor, even if it was only an incarnation, they were terrified to the extreme.

The He Clan Immortal King knelt without the slightest hesitation. "Yu Tuo Emperor Lord, it was I who possessed eyes yet failed to recognize Mount Tai and misunderstood a descendant of the Emperor Lord's friend."

The others likewise knelt without the slightest hesitation in perfect unison. A group of Immortal Kings kneeling so thoroughly left the countless disciples and elders in the distance utterly shocked, nearly fainting.

The lofty Immortal Kings had actually knelt. This was far too inconceivable. Was this what an Emperor was?

Yu Tuo calmly swept his gaze across them. After a moment, he ultimately did not act. He merely looked at them faintly. "This youth is a descendant of one of my friends. Before he becomes an Immortal King, Immortal Kings are forbidden from making a move against him. I hope you will know what is good for you hereafter."

With those words, Yu Tuo looked back at Ye Chen. "Should you encounter a great calamity, you may call my true name in your heart and receive my attention. Yet given the relationship between myself and your ancestors, you possess only one opportunity to request my aid.

"Should you fall thereafter, you may kowtow once with every step upon the path of reincarnation while chanting my true name. Upon the path of reincarnation, your sins shall be halved; I shall protect your true spirit from extinction and your divine consciousness from confusion so that you may reincarnate and be reborn."

With those words, Yu Tuo's incarnation drifted away and dispersed without a sound, as though it had never appeared.

Ye Chen raised his head to look and felt rather emotional. This figure truly knew how to put on a show!

If Lan Nuo saw him, he would certainly be shocked. Opening and closing his mouth with talk of reincarnation and rebirth, chanting my true name—he already felt like an existence of an entirely different level. Was this an Immortal Emperor above Immortal Kings?

Yet according to the system, Yu Tuo was still only a quasi-Immortal Emperor. If a quasi-Immortal Emperor was already like this, then how formidable would a true Immortal Emperor be?

Yu Tuo came quickly and left just as quickly. Only that special aura continued to surge without end, leaving people trembling. The Immortal Kings present, who had scarcely dared to breathe, all let out long sighs of relief.

Looking at Ye Chen, they revealed expressions of having survived a great calamity. The First Realm stood high above all others; every rule was established by the First Realm. Rules of that sort simply could not constrain existences such as Emperors.

In their view, the reason Yu Tuo had not acted was that Ye Chen was still not worth it. After all, he was no longer a descendant of who knew how many generations after Yu Tuo; the old sentiments of those years had long been eroded too greatly by the passage of time.

Even so, they would no longer provoke Ye Chen. After all, Yu Tuo had already appeared and issued a warning. If they actively provoked Ye Chen again, it would constitute an offense against Yu Tuo Emperor Lord. The nature of the matter would be entirely different and would invite unimaginable punishment. Even death and the extinction of their clans could occur within a single thought of an Emperor.

At this moment, all the kings were thoroughly dispirited and dispersed one after another.

Reluctance lingered in the eyes of the He Clan Immortal King, yet there was nothing he could do. His clan's Peerless Immortal King, though a peerless genius with the bearing of one who could become an Emperor, had ultimately never taken that step. So many prodigies had died; they could only accept it. He swept Ye Chen with a glance, spoke no further, and likewise dispersed.

The scene fell completely silent. No one had expected the events of this day to prove so spectacular. So many Immortal Kings had descended—what magnificent waves had been stirred.

In the end, Ye Chen had produced the backing of an Emperor and turned out to be a descendant of the Emperor's friend. That made them look at Ye Chen with entirely different eyes.

Previously, Ye Chen had been a country bumpkin from the Nineteenth Realm. No matter how terrifyingly strong or unprecedented his talent, he remained a country bumpkin.

Now, with the sentiments of an Emperor attached, Ye Chen was a pure and proper top-tier youth supreme of the Nineteenth Realm. In terms of prestige, he was no inferior to the youth supremes of the Second Realm or Third Realm. It truly left others green with envy.

Shen Qingge was astonished and had a thousand words she wished to ask, yet ultimately said nothing. Seeing that both Tuoba Immortal King and Moon Arrival Immortal King had matters to discuss with Ye Chen, she first took her leave and departed.

On Shi Hu's side, he exhaled in lingering fear and relief. No wonder Ye Chen was so formidable. With a connection to an Emperor, how could he not be formidable? Fortunately, he himself had not courted death by provoking him.

Moreover, since Ye Chen still lived, would he not be able to clear obstacles for him later upon reaching Origin Immortal and Saint Immortal? Killing all those ranked ahead of him within the clan and the academy…

At that thought, Shi Hu could hardly restrain his excitement. He immediately flew back to his own divine peak to cultivate diligently. He also planned to return home in a few days to claim the sharply increased share of clan resources that was now his. In short, he had to cultivate seriously and catch up to Ye Chen's footsteps.

Tuoba Immortal King's expression was complicated. He had never expected this disciple of his to possess such a formidable background and, for a moment, did not know what to say. He even felt a little regret.

With Ye Chen's talent, he ought to have seized the opportunity just now and formally apprenticed himself to Yu Tuo Emperor Lord. In that case, Ye Chen could have entered the First Realm to cultivate, a far brighter prospect than the present. It was he himself who had delayed Ye Chen.

"Ye Chen, I never expected you still possessed such a background and opportunity. Next time if you have the chance to meet that one again, you might as well directly request to become his disciple. He appeared to rather value the old friendship of those years and might look upon you with different eyes." Tuoba Immortal King spoke from the bottom of his heart.

Ye Chen felt a warmth in his heart upon hearing this, yet immediately shook his head. Yu Tuo might still hold a few measures of sentiment, yet clearly not much. Otherwise, he would not have been too lazy even to act and simply issued a casual warning before leaving.

Yet what could one expect from someone who, at a critical moment, abandoned the world that had raised him? After all, Yu Tuo was different from the Heavenly Emperor. A person like the Heavenly Emperor, with the entire world as his enemy, constantly excluded, targeted, and mocked within the Immortal Realm, still stood on the side of the Immortal Realm at the critical moment.

And Yu Tuo? It was said he had been born into a top-tier great clan and enjoyed smooth sailing all the way with extremely high status. Later, when the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths invaded the Nineteenth Realm, the entire Nineteenth Realm had pooled its full strength to raise Yu Tuo above the Immortal King realm…

Yet Yu Tuo had simply surrendered. Such a person was clearly unreliable. Not to mention that he himself was a fake to begin with. Thus Ye Chen merely smiled and shook his head without saying much more.

Tuoba Immortal King, however, believed Ye Chen had refused because he would not betray his master or abandon his ancestors to switch allegiance to another. His heart was rather moved. He had truly accepted a good disciple with a grateful heart.

Tuoba Immortal King no longer continued this topic and instead looked toward Moon Arrival Immortal King. Truthfully, Tuoba Immortal King felt somewhat regretful. Had he known earlier that Ye Chen possessed such a trump card, he truly would not have needed to request help from Moon Arrival Immortal King, nor would Moon Arrival Immortal King have become Ye Chen's nominal master.

Yet the matter was already done; he could not go back on it, otherwise both parties would become laughingstocks. Therefore, Tuoba Immortal King could only endure the sense of loss and transmit a message to Ye Chen.

"Ye Chen, although there was a turnaround in the end, Moon Arrival Immortal King originally acknowledged you as her personal disciple in full public view precisely in order to save you. This matter can no longer be altered; otherwise, it would affect Moon Arrival Immortal King's reputation.

"Therefore, from now on, when before outsiders, you are Moon Arrival Immortal King's personal disciple. Yet in private, you remain my disciple. I will still take responsibility for you and pave the way for your future."

Ye Chen: …

Although he had long guessed it would be like this, Ye Chen truly had not expected that Tuoba Immortal King would still have to take responsibility for his future cultivation. Master Western Empress had claimed the reputation while still having Tuoba Immortal King wholeheartedly help raise the disciple. She was truly too sly… Ye Chen planned to persuade his master later not to continue like this.

At this moment, Moon Arrival Immortal King also spoke. "Tuoba, I have some matters to instruct Ye Chen about. I shall take him back to my cave dwelling first."

AN: The next update will be in three days.
