Swish! Swish!
Two figures rapidly landed outside the Assignment Hall. The one on the left had a head full of grizzled hair and a haggard appearance. According to one hundred years of age, he was at least eighty or ninety years old. Of course, he was a peak Astral Reaching expert, and his age was doubled, being about one hundred seventy or eighty years old. The one on the right was a middle-aged man with two crisscrossed sword scars on the left side of his face, giving him a ferocious appearance.
The horse-faced man saw the two and yelled, "Elder Bai, Elder Lu, save me! This man is clearly a peak mid Astral Reaching expert, but he lied to me and said he was an early Astral Reaching expert. He clearly doesn't put Bewilderment Fog Island in his eyes. Kill him!"
A cold light flickered in the haggard Elder Bai's eyes as he yelled at Ye Chen, "Who are you? Release Attendant Ma and accept your trial!"
"Elder Bai, why are you wasting words with him? Those who dare to cause trouble on Bewilderment Fog Island will be killed without mercy." The ferocious middle-aged man stared at Ye Chen as if he was looking at a dead man.
Peng!
The illusory mountain suppressing the horse-faced man shattered, and the shockwave directly caused him to spurt out blood, losing all his battle power. Ye Chen turned around, "This man is relying on his status as an attendant to wantonly extort people who come to Bewilderment Fog Island for the first time. How should he be punished?"
"Whether he's guilty or not has nothing to do with you. Obediently surrender, or you'll die." How could the fierce middle-aged man called Elder Lu not know that Attendant Ma was wantonly extorting people who came to Bewilderment Fog Island for the first time? However, he was Grand Elder Sun's subordinate, and ten percent of the spirit stones that Attendant Ma extorted was given to him. Therefore, if he said that Attendant Ma wasn't guilty, then he wasn't. If this matter was brought to the Island Lord, there was still Grand Elder Sun.
"In that case, there's nothing I can do!"
With a flash of light, a longsword appeared in Ye Chen's left hand, its scabbard simple and unadorned.
"You dare to take out a weapon before me? Kid, you'll die for sure!"
A black brilliance curled up, and a weapon also appeared in Elder Lu's hand. It was a black iron rod that was as long as his eyebrows. There were many diamond-shaped patterns on the surface of the iron rod, and as Zhen Yuan poured into it, the air around the patterns began to distort, filling the air with pressure.
Elder Bai took a step back, "Lu Song, make it quick!"
"I know!"
Lu Song chuckled. His figure flickered, and he instantly appeared in front of Ye Chen. He struck out with his rod like a black dragon coming out of its cave.
Ding!
The thin tip of the sword blocked Elder Lu's attack, and the three walls of the Steward's Hall suddenly exploded, turning into quicksand.
Thud thud thud …
Lu Song's feet could not stop the momentum of his retreat. He took eight steps back in a row, each step causing the ground to crack and cave in.
"Elder Lu retreated." The middle-aged man, who was lying on the ground, mumbled in disbelief. There were ninety-eight masters on the island, and every one of them was a top Astral Reaching Realm warrior. Besides the rare Extreme Astral Reaching Realm warriors and Astral Reaching Paragons, the top Astral Reaching Realm warriors were the kings. Ye Chen had forced back Master Lu with one sword attack, which meant that he was at least a top Astral Reaching Realm warrior.
"Impossible! He is obviously a peak level Mid Astral Reaching Realm warrior. A week ago, I could kill him with one finger."
The middle-aged man had a sinister look on his face. He believed that Elder Lu had not used his full strength, and that he was merely warming up.
Elder White did not think so. Admittedly, Lu Song hadn't used his best move, and hadn't even used any of his moves. However, how could Ye Chen have? Under normal circumstances, Lu Song was unexpectedly not Ye Chen's opponent. No wonder this kid didn't put them in his eyes. It turned out that he had some tricks up his sleeves.
"He is a top Astral Reaching Realm warrior. Lu Song, bring out your peak power." Elder White's expression was grave as his gaze locked onto Ye Chen. He was prepared to join hands with Lu Song to kill Ye Chen in case of any mishap.
"Kid, you've angered me. Black Sea Raging Shark!"
When he retreated nine steps, Lu Song brandished his rod with both hands. The surrounding air was dyed black like a black tide, and his entire body turned into a devouring whirlpool within the tide. The natural Yuan Qi within dozens of li was devoured cleanly, transforming into his battle power.
Bang!
The rod rumbled out, and the endless tide converged into a rod aura, violently charging towards Ye Chen. In the next moment, a raging shark appeared. Its enormous body carried a frightening power as it leapt up.
"What a powerful water mentality!" The intense attack caused Ye Chen's hair and clothes to flutter. He stood there without moving, and the Thunder Sword slashed an arc in the void.
Rip!
The Zhen Yuan Raging Shark, which was powerful enough to destroy a mountain and split open a canyon, was cut in two. Sparks flickered on the surface of the cut, and a sizzling sound could be heard.
"Lu Song's best move was cut apart by a single sword strike, so casually."
Elder White sucked in a breath of cold air. If Ye Chen had only defeated Lu Song, he wouldn't have been too surprised. The strength Ye Chen had displayed before was absolutely that of a peak Astral Reaching expert. And, peak Astral Reaching experts were also divided into strong and weak. Naturally, there would be winners and losers. However, facing Lu Song's strongest move, a killing move, Ye Chen had only used a single sword strike, a sword strike that didn't carry any smoke or fire.
"Do you still want to continue?"
Ye Chen didn't use his true power. What a joke! No matter how strong Lu Song was, he was only a peak Astral Reaching expert, while Ye Chen was a top existence among extreme Astral Reaching experts. The two were simply not on the same level. If he had to use his best move to deal with Lu Song, then he wouldn't be able to show his face in the outside world.
"Look, a battle has broken out in Assignment Hall. The walls have been destroyed!"
Originally, the Assignment Hall was surrounded by high walls, and the situation inside couldn't be seen from the streets. However, the aftermath of the battle between Ye Chen and Lu Song was too powerful, and the walls had turned into quicksand, vanishing without a trace. The martial artists on the streets could see the scene from far away.
"Aren't the people inside Elder White and Elder Lu? Who is that youngster? "
"Probably a fierce person who has just arrived on Bewilderment Fog Island. Every battle on Bewilderment Fog Island takes place between native experts and outsiders. "
"Hiss! Master Lu's attack was broken just like that. This young man is definitely a powerful character. This time, the Stewardship Hall has kicked a steel board. They could have blackmailed anyone, but they chose to blackmail a suspected Extreme Astral Reaching Realm warrior. Isn't that looking for death?"
"He is indeed powerful. However, Bewilderment Fog Island has three island masters and nineteen grand elders. Confronting them head-on would only result in a miserable death."
Many martial artists had gathered on the street in front of Assignment Hall. Among them, there was no lack of Astral Reaching experts. Everyone gathered together and discussed spiritedly, expressing their opinions.
"Disperse! City Guard Team is here!"
Right at this moment, groups of martial artists rushed over from both ends of the street. The lowest cultivation base of these martial artists was early Astral Reaching expert. The captain was a peak mid Astral Reaching expert, and the vice captain was a mid Astral Reaching expert. Each group had twenty people, and the total number was more than a hundred.
City Guard Team wouldn't be mobilized easily. Normally, it was the patrolling team composed of Clasping Yuan martial artists that maintained order. Only when something big happened would City Guard Team be mobilized. The City Guard Team had more than three thousand members. Right now, these people were clearly not the entire team.
It had been several years since the last time City Guard Team was mobilized.
This was the first time in a few years.
"All of you, piss off!"
Under the lead of the seven captains, hundreds of Astral Reaching experts majestically gathered and shouted at the crowd to retreat.
"Go in!"
Seeing that everyone had arrived, a group of powerful martial artists flew into Assignment Hall.
How could Elder White not notice the commotion outside? Turning his head and seeing the City Guard Team, he let out a sigh of relief. Two against one, he didn't have the confidence to defeat Ye Chen. However, the situation was different now. With more than a hundred people attacking Ye Chen at the same time, unless he was an Astral Reaching paragon, he would die without a doubt.
"You guys surround Assignment Hall."
Elder White ordered.
"It's Elder White and Elder Lu!"
The status of elders far surpassed that of City Guard Team captains. Receiving the order, the seven led their respective team members and surrounded Assignment Hall tightly, ready to attack at any time.
Retracting his gaze, Elder White said confidently, "It's not too late to surrender. Otherwise, a group attack will kill you on the spot!"
Hearing these words, Ye Chen smiled indifferently. If it were an extreme Astral Reaching expert without a powerful movement technique, facing more than a hundred Astral Reaching experts, there was indeed a possibility of him dying. However, Ye Chen's Doppelganger movement technique wasn't something an ordinary extreme Astral Reaching expert could compare with. He was confident that if he used his movement technique with all his strength, he would be able to hit him with seven or eight attacks in one go. Moreover, he was confident that he could block seven or eight attacks from ordinary Astral Reaching experts.
Of course, starting an all-out war with Bewilderment Fog Island wasn't his goal. His goal was to become a grand elder of Bewilderment Fog Island. Since he was going to survive in Bewilderment Fog Forbidden Zone for a long time, he had to go with the flow. Unless he didn't want to stay on Bewilderment Fog Island and willingly lost himself in the dense fog of Bewilderment Fog Forbidden Zone.
"What's with such a big formation? Actually, I came to join Bewilderment Fog Island. "Putting away the Thunder Sword, Ye Chen and Elder White's gazes met.
"Join Bewilderment Fog Island?"
Elder White and the defeated Lu Song's complexion turned unsightly. With their understanding of the Island Master, if an expert like Ye Chen wanted to join, they wouldn't refuse. Moreover, Ye Chen acted with propriety and didn't kill a single person from Bewilderment Fog Island.
The corner of Elder White's mouth twitched, feeling stifled in his heart, "Joining Bewilderment Fog Island doesn't require you to injure people. Your actions are very suspicious. You'd better take a trip with us and undergo interrogation. At that time, whether or not the Island Master will allow you to join Bewilderment Fog Island will be decided."
As long as he brought Ye Chen away, Elder White was confident that Grand Elder Sun would dispose of him. At that time, whether it was black or white, it would be up to them.
"Sorry, I won't go with you. Attendant Ma's injury is his own fault. I was just defending myself. Moreover, when I join the Bewilderment Fog Island, I will be a grand elder. Do you think that a grand elder needs to be investigated by you?"
Ye Chen had already prepared two options. He could either become a grand elder or leave Bewilderment Fog Island. The environment of Bewilderment Fog Forbidden Zone allowed him to not fear Astral Reaching paragons. As long as he escaped a thousand li away, who would dare to chase after him? Ninety percent of his mental power was restricted in the dense fog, and his line of sight was even narrower, ranging from several meters to several dozen meters. It could be said that even a Sea of Soul realm expert would find it hard to chase after him after entering Bewilderment Fog Forbidden Zone.
"Do you think you can become a grand elder just because you want to? Big words!"
Several li away, an aged voice resounded.
"Grand Elder Sun!"
Elder White and the horse-faced man's faces lit up.
