"How many days has it been since he left?"
Whistling Wind Restaurant was one of the top restaurants in Martial City. In a private room on the third floor, seven or eight Astral Reaching experts were sitting. The one leading them was Floating Mountain Sect's core elder, Daoist Jin Huang. He wore a long grey robe with golden threads embroidered on the edges. At this moment, he glanced around and asked the Astral Reaching expert in front of him.
"Three days!" This person was one of the Astral Reaching experts following Ye Chen. Half a month ago, he found out that Ye Chen had arrived in Martial City, and immediately sent a message to Daoist Jin Huang.
Daoist Jin Huang's gaze turned cold. He didn't expect that Ye Chen would be so eager to die, choosing to leave Windy Nation right after entering Astral Reaching realm. However, it was exactly what he wanted. If Ye Chen had stayed in Windy Nation, he wouldn't have been able to do anything. The owner of the sky-covering hand was not someone he could contend with. Even if he had the guts, he wouldn't dare to provoke the other party. "The Soul Chasing Bird should have followed him!"
"Yes, as long as the Soul Chasing Bird is here, even if that kid runs to the ends of the earth, he won't be able to escape from Sixth Elder's pursuit."
Daoist Jin Huang was ranked sixth among the core elders of Floating Mountain Sect. Therefore, everyone called him Elder Jin Huang or Sixth Elder.
"Good, very good! This time, he won't be able to escape death."
Daoist Jin Huang laughed loudly. The Soul Chasing Bird was a strange bird raised by Floating Mountain Sect. Although it was only the size of a palm, it had a speed of one thousand meters per second. As long as it smelled one's aura, it would be able to sense one's existence within a hundred li. With the Soul Chasing Bird following Ye Chen, the matter was already half done. The remaining half would be left to him. Thinking of this, Daoist Jin Huang felt extremely happy. Ye Chen was like a knot in his heart, a heart devil. If he didn't eliminate him, he would never be able to calm down and cultivate in seclusion. He was very clear that with Ye Chen's talent, given three to five years, he might truly become a threat to him. Therefore, he had to eliminate him as soon as possible. Fortunately, he wasn't far from his goal.
…
Star Regional Lake …
It was one of the top few super lakes in the true spirit continent. Its surface area was even bigger than the Black Dragon Empire, the Ice Crystal Empire, and the Grey Mystery Nation combined. It extended all the way to the center of the Misty Snow Region, bordering the Wavy Cloud Region and the Thunder Region. The Star Regional Lake had been an extremely mysterious place since the ancient times. There were a lot of forbidden places inside, some of which even Life and Death Realm warriors would not dare to underestimate.
The Blood Demon Battlefield was still within the South Rudra Region. It was a small forbidden area at the edge of the Star Regional Lake. For Clasping Yuan and Astral Reaching experts, the danger level was extremely high. Out of three people who entered, only one would be able to come out alive.
Beneath the clouds, a streak of light streaked past.
"Daoist Jin Huang and I are irreconcilable. If he doesn't die, then I will. I don't want to go to the Wang Family on the Snake Island, it will bring them a disaster. Let's go straight to the Blood Demon Battlefield!" Ye Chen originally wanted to go to the Snake Island and see what had happened to Wang Snake. But, he immediately gave up on this idea. Before taking care of Daoist Jin Huang, it would be best not to meet anyone, unless that person's background and power were powerful enough.
Amidst the boundless sky and water, Ye Chen increased his speed to seventy percent, flying toward the Blood Stone Islands that were hundreds of thousands of li away.
"Eh? Why do I feel like I'm being followed? "
Ever since leaving the Martial City, Ye Chen had felt that something was wrong. As for what exactly was wrong, he didn't know. But, as time passed, this kind of suspicion grew deeper and deeper, lingering in his heart. Until now, he was sure that something had indeed happened to him.
"I'd like to see who's following me."
Ye Chen suddenly turned around. The Green Lotus Zhen Yuan inside his body burned fiercely, exploding his speed to the limit as he sprinted in the opposite direction. Within a moment, he had reached an astonishing distance of more than a thousand meters, leaving a faint black trail in the void.
After sprinting for dozens of li, Ye Chen released his soul power, spreading it out in a fan shape, covering the entire area in front of him.
"It's a bird!"
Within his soul power perception, a palm-sized bird that seemed to be made of black iron appeared in his mind. The bird seemed to be a bit surprised by his sudden turn around and immediately flew in another direction like a black lightning bolt.
"Humph! Die!"
Ye Chen finally knew the reason. This black bird actually had the ability to follow his aura. It had been following him for dozens of li, which was a distance that he couldn't sense with his soul power. Fortunately, he suddenly had an idea. He suddenly turned around and increased his speed, shortening the distance.
The Star Scar Sword was unsheathed, and a circular sword Qi sliced through the void.
The sword Qi's speed was much faster than the black bird's flying speed. In a few breaths' time, it had caught up to the bird. The powerful sword pressure turned the entire area into a vacuum world. Then, the sword Qi flickered and heavily slashed out.
Crack!
The black bird's defense was not bad, but unfortunately, Ye Chen's attack was not something it could handle. Its feathers were shattered into pieces, and were cut in half.
Several hundred li away …
An Astral Reaching expert's complexion changed greatly, "What? The Soul Chasing Bird has fallen? Who killed it? Could it be Ye Chen? Impossible! He absolutely couldn't sense the Soul Chasing Bird's existence. Perhaps it was killed by a passing expert. Damn it! This kid's luck is too good! "
He was the breeder of the Soul Chasing Bird, so he had a subtle connection with it. Therefore, as soon as the bird was in danger, he immediately knew.
"This place is less than ten thousand li away from the Blood Demon Battlefield. If I'm not wrong, this kid is definitely going there to try his luck. Although the Blood Demon Battlefield is extremely dangerous, it's hard to say if he can come out alive. I'd better go back and inform Elder Jin Huang first."
Clenching his teeth, this person turned around and rushed in the direction of Martial City.
After killing the black bird, the uneasiness lingering in his heart completely disappeared. Ye Chen creased his brows, "It's most likely Daoist Jin Huang's doing. Alright, I can't wait for him to appear in front of me. At that time, I can thoroughly kill him and put an end to my heart demon."
Ye Chen was Daoist Jin Huang's heart demon, and Daoist Jin Huang was also Ye Chen's heart demon. If the two wanted to continue advancing, they had to kill each other. One of them had to leave this world.
"The Blood Demon Battlefield is also my battlefield!"
Letting out a heavy breath, Ye Chen's gaze turned cold as he once again flew in the direction of the Blood Demon Battlefield.
Blood Stone Islands …
Formed by a total of thirty-six islands, the majority of which were faintly blood-colored rocks. Therefore, they were called Blood Stone Islands.
Each of the islands had an ancient stone gate. Inside the gate was a blood-red whirlpool that was dozens of meters tall, emitting a soul-stirring aura.
At this moment, numerous martial artists had gathered on each of the islands. Most of them were Clasping Yuan Realm martial artists, and Astral Reaching Realm experts only made up about five percent. At the same time, there were also many martial artists arriving from all directions, forming a dense black mass.
His figure streaking across the horizon, Ye Chen landed on the third island. He raised his head and saw many people entering the blood-red whirlpool, disappearing without a trace.
