Chapter 688: 688

Arriving at the Secret Pavilion’s second floor, Ye Chen thought for a moment, but didn’t take Demonic Bull Mountain Crush Art’s jade strip . Currently, just Blood Severing Ghost Finger costed so much of his energy . If the former was added on top, Ye Chen’s cultivation time might even completely crumble .



Everything else could wait until he cultivate Blood Severing Ghost FInger to minor completion .

“Dragon God Envoy, you can cultivate Blood Severing Ghost FInger, but don’t tell others . ” Sending off Ye Chen to the pavilion’s entrance, Pavilion Elder warned .

Ye Chen said,”Rest assured, Elder Tian, Ye Chen is not a reckless person . ”

Saying these words, Ye Chen strode away, slowly disappearing into the distance .

“Palace Master and young miss has great insight . ”

Pavilion Elder retracted his gaze and returned to pavilion .

——— –

If an individual entered the island and nobody in Dragon God Celestial Palace found out, Dragon God Celestial Palace wouldn’t be worthy of its name .

Outside the Redcloud Residence, Elder Yu was waiting .

“Dragon God Envoy!” Seeing Ye Chen, he let out a smile .

“Elder Yu, come inside please . ”

Ye Chen waved his hand, lifting the restrictions .

Before the lake, which was dyed crimson by the red clouds, the two people sat underneath a mid grade tree around a stone table, slowly sipping tea .

After a while, Elder Yu put his tea cup down,”Dragon God Envoy, what is the current situation of Dragon God Celestial Palace?”

Ye Chen’s corner of mouth slightly raised,”A good news, and a bad news . Which one do you want to hear first?”

“Then the bad news first!”

Elder Yu took in a deep breath . Hearing good news first and bad news second would leave him with a heavy mood . Going the other way around, he might end up feeling a bit better .

“A week ago, I and Deputy Xu Danian met an ambush while escorting resources . We lost a total of four hundred thirty people, twenty three of which were Sea of Soul realm experts . ”

Hiss!

Elder Yu sucked in a breath of cold air, and several colors flickered on his face . This time, although loss of Sea of Soul experts was a bit less, such a huge loss of Astral Reaching experts was even more grave than the last incident . This news almost made him feel choked .

Smiling bitterly, Elder Yu took a long sip from the teacup,”Sure enough, it still turned out like this . ”

Immediately afterward, his expression turned fierce,”If I find out the mole, I’ll let him have a taste of being bitten by ten thousand snakes . ”

Without a spy, how could they have suffered the second ambush? The combined losses of two times were nearing hundred men . This number was too heart-wrenching .

For a good while, Elder Yu didn’t say anything . His mind was in complete disarray .

Letting out a sigh, Ye Chen said,”Elder Yu, you don’t want to hear the good news?”

“Just tell me!”

Elder Yu didn’t hope Ye Chen would have too good of a news for him .

“Our side lost forty thirty men, but the enemies lost more than two thousand . This can be considered a good news, no? What do you think?” Ye Chen raised his teacup and smiled .

“Enemy lost more than two thousand?”

Elder Yu couldn’t react for a brief moment . It was too different from what he’d expected .

“Tell me again, how many people enemy lost?”

“Two thousand . ”

“Two thousand! Two thousand, haha! Five times more than ours, haha!”

Elder Yu heartily laughed . The sound of laughter made the mid grade maple tree tremble, causing fiery-red maple leaves to fall off and flutter in the wind .

“Dragon God Envoy, who did you killed two thosuand enemies?”

Once Elder Yu’s gloominess dissipated, he asked with a curious face .



Ye Chen didn’t conceal anything and narrated the entire incident .

Upon hearing, Elder Yu’s gaze on Ye Chen brimmed with respect,”Dragon God Envoy really is a deity . I can’t admire you more . ”

Although Ye Chen had downplayed himself a little, how could Elder Yu not know that the most important factor enabling them to kill two thousand enemies was Ye Chen . If the ambush was not opened, the outcome would have been completely different, and it would have ended in their total destruction .

“Dragon God Envoy, this is a big matter . If it’s not too much trouble, please make a trip to Elders Hall with me . Everybody is quite troubled by the circumstances of Azure Dragon Hall . ”

“Alright . ”

Ye Chen didn’t decline .


———— –

Elders Hall was filled to every seat .

The Great Elder had a rare smile on his face, and it was only getting increasingly bigger . Ultimately, he burst out laughing . The second elder and third beside him also started laughing . It was a carefree laughter, as if getting relieved of a huge burden .

How could the other elders be reserved? They laughed uproariously, almost dancing with joy . Discussions broke out like boiling water . The Elders Hall had never been so chaotic, and nobody tried to prevent it .

“Killing more than two thousand people . This is number is already equivalent to the loss palace suffered in these past years, all done in a single campaign . ”

“The four forces must be feeling their flesh ache . ”

“Fortunately, we invited Dragon God Envoy . Otherwise, it would be us feeling the pain . ”

“Tell me more about it . ”

Elders Association buzzed with sounds of discussions .

Cough Cough!

The second elder cleared his throat and calmed the situation that had turned too chaotic,”Dragon God Envoy, how many disciples died?”

His bottom line was death of half . Although only three had Sea of Soul realm cultivation bases among the dispatched ones, all of them were genius among geniuses since they could become a disciple of Dragon God Celestial Palace . Death of one was equivalent to death of dozens of ordinary Astral Reaching experts .



“Four died, and nobody died amongst the core disciples . ”

Ye Chen bluntly replied .

“Good . ”

The second elder let out a sigh of relief . Four was far lower than the bottom line in his heart,”Continue to let them temper themselves in Azure Dragon Hall . Next time, I’ll replace them with another batch . ”

Hearing these words, Great Elder faintly nodded . War was the best means of tempering . If they survived twice, both their survival ability and mentality would take a huge leap forward . Of course, tempering twice was enough, and other disciples should also get the same opportunity .

After finally found a source of venting, Great Elder gradually relaxed and said,”This time, the enemy’s loss is too big . They will certainly not give up, and their focus will be on you, Dragon God Envoy . They will use every trick to get rid of you . ”

“I understand, Great Elder can be rest assured . ”

Ye Chen had been prepared long since .

“You have the ability to find luck in calamity, so I believe you will be fine . However, if everything goes wrong, you can ditch anybody and focus on making out alive . ” The Great Elder couldn’t explain how could Ye Chen evade the ambush and instead surprise attack the enemy . Thus, he could only attribute to the sort of mysterious power of seeking luck in calamities .

“Such a situation shouldn’t occur . ”

Ye Chen confidently said .

“That would be for the best . ”

Upon the matters of Elders Association concluded, Elder Yu once again took Ye Chen too Treasury to let him pick the second war chariot .

There was no doubting Ye Chen’s strength, and one war chariot was no longer sufficient for him . Two war chariots would undoubtedly make his troops even stronger . If not for the fact that there was only one war chariot, they would have no issue to give all three to Ye Chen .

The new war-chariot was called Black Rubber War Chariot . Its quality was slightly lower than Golden Dragon War Chariot, and its floor dragon head could spout water shells .

Resting one night in Redcloud Residence, Ye Chen headed back to Azure Dragon Hall .

—————

Half a month passed in tranquility .

Lin Canghai’s residence was in a corner of the island . There was not a single person present within a hundred li of his residence . During this half a month, every once in a while, one could see sword Qi shooting up and the sky changing colors .

He undoubtedly lost his bet with Ye Chen, and lost thoroughly . On his path of sword dao, he’d never lose within the same generation . His nature was not inherently bad, but he was used to being remote and aloof . No matter how calm he was, he couldn’t treat as if nothing had happened .

He didn’t hate Ye Chen, but only wished himself to be more stronger and challenge this slowly rising young Sword Master .

Compared to Lin Canghai, Ye Chen’s surroundings were quite calm .

This was because Ye Chen was currently cultivating Blood Severing Ghost Finger . The disturbance by its cultivation was not big . It only brought about deathly stillness and terror .

“Sever!”

Standing still under a big tree, Ye Chen held his breath as he focused . His eyes were sharp as he raised the two index fingers of his right and slashed .

Without a sound, the upper half of the tree seemed as if it had suddenly dried up . The leaves instantly turned yellow and fell down one after another . The entire upper half of tree completely withered without a trace of vitality left . It seemed as if its life force had been wiped away .

“Blood Severing Ghost FInger severs blood Qi . However, blood Qi contains vital essence, and tree also has vital essence . So it works on trees as well, though only on one half is affected . Only before genuine blood and flesh would this art display its true might . ”

Blood Severing Ghost Finger was indeed hard to cultivate . Ye Chen’s perception was quite high, five times of the normal people . However, he was still clueless for several days in the beginning . Later he carefully analyzed the description in the book, and comprehended what should be the state of mind amidst life and death . After gaining a little comprehension, he would sever all distracting thoughts with sword intent every time he cultivated Blood Severing Ghost Finger . Eventually, he gained a preliminary understanding of this art .

Of course, he was still quite far from the minor completion, and it could at most be used to deal with ordinary Sea of Soul experts .

Days passed by, and Ye Chen continued to improve bit by bit . This improvement was extremely minute . If the results of consecutive days were compared, there would be almost no difference . Only after a period of time would there be any detectable improvement .

As Ye Chen gaines some understanding of Blood Severing Ghost Finger, he increasingly felt this art’s strangeness and terror . While cultivating this finger art, he would occasionally see some frightening scenes . On a vast expanse of desolate, dried up land, dead souls wandering about, and the ghost fires filling the whole sky . These dead souls’s appearance couldn’t be seen . Their bodies were wrapped in tattered white cloths, emitting dense Qi of death .

Ye Chen had no idea what these strange visions meant,

However, it was impossible for him to hold them in fear . If he wanted to cultivate, he would cultivate . Moreover, he discovered, wherever these strange scenes surfaced, his cultivation would be a lot smoother, as if some invisible power was coordinating with him .

In this manner, another half a month went by . Compared to the beginning, Ye Chen’s had made twice the progress . With one slash, he could sever the vitality of an entire tree, but he still didn’t know where did it go . At this point, Ye Chen could already see the dead soul in white long robe . This dead soul was different from the rest . It seemed to have intelligence . However, his death Qi’s thickness was beyond imagination .
