Ye Chen didn't need to turn around to look. In his soul power perception, he could see a grey-robed old man flying down from the middle of the island. His extreme speed didn't give rise to the slightest air-piercing sound, as if he was the wind itself. Not only did the flowing air not obstruct him, it even pushed him forward.
Extreme wind mentality!
"Being able to become extreme Astral Reaching experts, they indeed have their own way." In Ye Chen's knowledge, apart from Shen Tujue, other extreme Astral Reaching experts were either close to the limit or had already reached it. Of course, Shen Tujue had condensed a martial soul embryo, and his battle power was a notch higher than ordinary extreme Astral Reaching experts. His absolute power and willpower could make up for the disparity in mentality.
Without a sound, the grey-robed old man called Grand Elder Sun appeared in the sky above the Assignment Hall.
"You're the one who injured Attendant Ma!" Grand Elder Sun coldly looked down at Ye Chen.
Raising his head, Ye Chen replied, "You didn't teach him well. That's why he was injured."
"Too arrogant!"
The City Guard members were dumbstruck.
Grand Elder Sun was so angry that he started laughing. His eyes were filled with killing intent as he said, "What a good 'didn't teach him well'. I'd like to see what makes you so arrogant."
A silver long spear appeared in his hand. Grand Elder Sun's body tilted as he charged down from the sky, thrusting his spear forward. The air in front of him exploded, as if a black hole had been pierced through it.
Fast!
Astonishingly fast!
From the moment the silver long spear appeared to the moment it shot towards Ye Chen, only a few seconds had passed. Many people didn't even have the time to shift their gazes.
Ding!
He was fast, but Ye Chen was even faster. Unsheathing the Destruction Sword, it directly pointed at the tip of the silver long spear. Without any deviation, it was as light as the wind and clouds, as fast as a dream.
The two seemed to be exchanging blows, but the destructive power was frightening. The enormous Assignment Hall was instantly razed to the ground, erased from Bewilderment Fog Island. The surrounding City Guard members all spurted out blood as they rapidly retreated, their faces filled with shock.
"So fast! He can actually keep up with my spear speed!" Grand Elder Sun was gobsmacked. He mainly cultivated wind mentality, and each of his movements was excessively fast. However, under such a sudden situation, Ye Chen was still able to block his spear attack with all his strength, and seemed to still have energy to spare.
"In terms of the Concept of Wind, this person is the first person I have ever seen. However, compared to my speed, he is still lacking. The Concept of Speed is pure speed, without any impurities. But, the Concept of Wind contains speed, but it is not pure enough."
As soon as they clashed, Grand Elder Sun's combat strength and characteristics were revealed.
"Your sword speed is pretty fast. Take my Nine Flowing Wind Spear!"
Xiu! Xiu! Xiu!
Originally, Grand Elder Sun's attacks didn't make any sound, but now that his spear speed had reached its peak, the sound could no longer be eliminated. The fine piercing sound was extremely ear-piercing. In an instant, three spear strikes were launched, the third and second spear bursting forth at almost the same time. It seemed as if only one spear had been launched.
"Four Swift Swords!"
Ding, ding, ding!
Dang!
The first three sword attacks canceled out Grand Elder Sun's spear attack. The fourth sword attack was thrown out before Grand Elder Sun could react, swiftly landing on his protective Zhen Yuan.
Puff!
His protective Zhen Yuan was shattered, and Grand Elder Sun's face turned pale. Blood leaked out from the corner of his mouth as he was blown back.
The Four Swift Swords had completely countered the Nine Flowing Wind Spear!
In front of the Four Swift Swords, the Nine Flowing Wind Spear could only launch three spear attacks. He didn't even have the time to use the fourth spear attack, because the Four Swift Swords were even faster and more coordinated than him. One more sword attack would be redundant, and one less sword attack would not be able to increase the sword speed and power to the peak.
"Grand Elder Sun lost!"
Elder Bai and Lu Song shook their heads, their faces blank.
"Damn it! How could he be faster than me!" The faster the sword, the weaker its power would be. Therefore, Grand Elder Sun had only suffered a light injury, which wouldn't affect his battle power. However, in terms of speed, which he was most proud of, he had completely lost to Ye Chen, which made him extremely angry.
"Hou! Die! "
Grand Elder Sun stomped on the ground, creating a deep gully. Grand Elder Sun soared into the sky, gathering the mentality of wind and the mentality of metal on his silver spear. The two mentalities complemented each other, turning the spear into an all-conquering, all-piercing attack.
"Sun Nian, stay your hand!"
An earthen-yellow Zhen Yuan giant hand pressed Grand Elder Sun back. Admittedly, part of the reason was that Grand Elder Sun hadn't finished accumulating power. However, an Extreme Astral Reaching expert's casual attack could heavily injure a peak Astral Reaching expert. Even if he hadn't finished accumulating power, he shouldn't have been so easily suppressed.
"What a precise grasp of timing! The Zhen Yuan giant hand suppressed Grand Elder Sun just as his spear was about to erupt, saving me a lot of strength."
Ye Chen didn't need to think to know that the Island Master of Bewilderment Fog Island had appeared. Only an Astral Reaching paragon could easily suppress an Extreme Astral Reaching expert.
The air distorted, and a figure appeared thirty steps away from Ye Chen.
He was wearing a yellow robe, and his hands were behind his back. His yellow skin seemed quite special, and the Zhen Yuan fluctuations within his body were deeply concealed. If one carefully sensed it, they would feel an inexplicable horror, as if a dormant volcano was about to erupt and burn everything.
"Sub Island Master Wang!" Grand Elder Sun didn't know what to say.
The yellow-faced middle-aged man waved his hand, "You don't need to say anything. Go back first. I'll settle this matter. Everyone else, return to your positions."
"Yes!"
The City Guards withdrew in an orderly manner.
Grand Elder Sun sighed inwardly. With Sub Island Master Wang's words, he clearly didn't intend to make things difficult for Ye Chen. Otherwise, why would he let them go?
"Yes, I'll take my leave!"
Grand Elder Sun didn't say anything else, turning around and flying towards his residence.
Seeing that Grand Elder Sun had left, Elder White and Lu Song could only leave as well. One could well imagine the gloominess in their hearts.
In a short while, only three people remained in the flattened Assignment Hall: Sub Island Master Wang, Ye Chen, and the heavily injured horse-faced middle-aged man.
"What are you going to do?" Sub Island Master Wang looked at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen could feel the pressure coming from the other party's body. Putting away the Destruction Sword, he said, "I wonder if Bewilderment Fog Island can accommodate me."
"You want to join Bewilderment Fog Island!" Sub Island Master Wang had actually guessed Ye Chen's thoughts. Not killing Attendant Ma and the others was either because he was soft-hearted or because he had some misgivings.
"That's right."
Sub Island Master Wang sized up Ye Chen, "Your strength has undoubtedly reached the level of a grand elder, and our Bewilderment Fog Island is different from the sects. We don't have any rules. Come to the Conference Hall tomorrow! The Island Master will personally appoint you as the twentieth grand elder of Bewilderment Fog Island. "
Finished speaking, Sub Island Master Wang directly left.
"Scary person." The other party's words and actions were swift and decisive. Although he didn't speak much, the pressure he exuded was much scarier than a person who spoke a hundred sentences.
The horse-faced middle-aged man originally hoped that Sub Island Master Wang could teach Ye Chen a lesson. Seeing this result, his face turned ashen as he looked at Ye Chen, trembling in fear.
"I'll accept your spirit stones!"
Ye Chen didn't even look at the horse-faced middle-aged man as he turned around and walked down the street.
There were many martial artists coming and going on the street in an endless stream. Zhao Yushuang, Zhao Heng, and the rest had just returned from hunting with a bountiful harvest.
"Eh, the Assignment Hall is gone!"
Zhao Yushuang said in surprise.
"No, there was a great battle here!" Zhao Heng saw some clues.
"Great battle? Who dares to tear down the Assignment Hall? Any Astral Reaching expert under Sea of Soul realm will have to accept Bewilderment Fog Island's management. "
The one who spoke was Zhao Heng's son, a bearded middle-aged man.
Zhao Heng said, "Why do you care so much? The outside world is unimaginably vast. Experts are as common as clouds. Perhaps there really are Astral Reaching experts who can contend against Bewilderment Fog Island. Don't judge the unknown with our eyes. "
Zhao Yushuang changed the topic, "I wonder how Ye Chen is doing. Attendant Ma of the Assignment Hall is a blood-sucking bug. He's killed a lot of foreign experts. Fortunately, we didn't see his corpse hanging on the city gate. He should have settled down."
"That's not necessarily true. The corpses hanging on the city gate are all brazen people who didn't obey Bewilderment Fog Island's management. Some people who obeyed the management and were quite wealthy were killed. They wouldn't be hung on the city gate. Otherwise, there would be less profit." The bearded middle-aged man retorted.
Zhao Yushuang glared at her father.
"Alright, alright, let's go back. This time's harvest was quite bountiful, comparable to several previous harvests. Let's go back and celebrate."
…
On the morning of the second day, Ye Chen walked out of the restaurant and headed towards the peak of Bewilderment Fog Island.
Bewilderment Fog Island had nine floors in total. Every time one entered a city, one had to pay an entrance fee. The first floor's fee was one low grade spirit stone, the second floor's fee was four, the third floor's fee was seven, the fourth floor's fee was ten, the fifth floor's fee was thirteen … and the ninth floor's fee was twenty-five. Walking all the way to the peak, Ye Chen paid a total of one hundred and seventeen low grade spirit stones. Of course, the first floor had its own identity token, and the second floor had its own identity token. Those with the second floor's identity token didn't need to pay the first floor's entrance fee. Otherwise, just the entrance fee alone would be an unbearable expense, unless one didn't leave the city for a long time.
Ye Chen didn't care about this little bit of low grade spirit stones. Next time, he wouldn't have to pay.
Entering the ninth floor's city, Ye Chen directly walked towards the Bewilderment Fog Palace at the peak of Bewilderment Fog Island.
"Halt, or you'll be killed without mercy."
The martial artist guarding the palace blocked Ye Chen's path.
"It's Sub Island Master Wang who told me to see Island Master."
"Do you have proof?"
At this moment, Sub Island Master Wang walked out from inside, "Let him in."
"Yes!"
Following half a step behind Sub Island Master Wang, Ye Chen observed his surroundings. The materials used to construct the Bewilderment Fog Palace were quite ordinary, but its appearance was quite extravagant.
"Island Master is a bit overbearing. Be careful with your words!"
Sub Island Master Wang reminded.
Ye Chen blanked for a moment before saying, "Many thanks!"
Soon, the two passed through the plaza and arrived outside the Conference Hall.
"Wait a moment!" Sub Island Master Wang stepped inside.
On the main seat of the Conference Hall sat a black-robed old man. Different from ordinary old men, his body was tall and sturdy like a bear. His palms were like palm-leaf fans, and his knuckles were like small chicken eggs, containing a frightening power.
"Island Master, he's here!"
Sub Island Master Wang sat on the main seat on the left, facing a white-robed old man. Below the two were nineteen Astral Reaching experts with different appearances. Grand Elder Sun was astonishingly among them.
"En, come in!"
The black-robed old man's voice resounded outside the Conference Hall.
Hearing these words, Ye Chen walked in.
"You're Ye Chen?" The black-robed old man squinted his eyes.
"Right!"
"Apologize to Grand Elder Sun, and I won't pursue yesterday's matter."
The black-robed old man said indifferently.
