"It is here!"
Ao Cheng and the group arrived above the island, looking down.
"Then, I will bring a couple of people down to catch them. You guys stay outside." Ao Seng waved his hand, signaling for the four men to follow.
Ao Cheng nodded his head and said to the remaining two bamboo hat men in black and nine bamboo hat men in white, "The eleven of you, each take a side. If you see anyone coming over, kill them without mercy. Also, move around as much as possible. With our soul power, we can't seal off the entire island."
The island had a radius of hundreds of miles. If one were to look at it as a square, each side would be five hundred miles long, and the four sides would add up to two thousand miles. Of course, because it was an irregular shape, it might only be one thousand six hundred or seven hundred miles. With twelve people guarding it, each of their mental power or soul power would have to cover more than one hundred miles. Not to mention the fact that the nine men in white were only peak level Late Astral Reaching Realm warriors who could not use their soul power, even if they were all Sea of Souls Realm warriors, they would not be able to lock down the whole island.
"Yes!"
The eleven of them spread out, flying toward the chosen spot.
Hundreds of miles deep in the lake, a blue figure kept flashing.
"Those three men in black are all Sea of Souls Realm warriors. Their soul power lockdown range is very wide, and they would be able to sense my soul power. It would not be worth the risk. Those men in white are Astral Reaching Realm warriors, and my soul power would not only be able to avoid their mental power detection, but also be able to detect me without them noticing. I will sneak into the forbidden place from where they are."
After making up his mind, Ye Chen started to swim forward at a fast speed.
The whole process went smoothly, as Ye Chen easily avoided the mental power lockdown of the men in white and arrived at the entrance of the forbidden place. He then performed his body art and started to fly at top speed. The forbidden place was covered with a restrictive power, so soul power would not be able to get in. People outside would not be able to know what was going on inside.
"Hold on for a bit longer!"
Ye Chen was worried that Wang Snake and Wang Mei might have already fallen into the hands of the men in white, since it had been a long time since then.
…
"It is not easy for you two to reach the Astral Reaching Realm. Hand over the bloodline crystals now, and I will let you go." Ao Seng and the four white-clothed bamboo hat men appeared in a fan-shaped formation in the spacious and dark stone hall.
"Sixth Elder, why don't we just kill them and take their storage rings? There's no need to talk about conditions." A white-robed bamboo hat man was puzzled, so he sent a Zhen Yuan transmission.
"I'm afraid that they've made preparations and hid the bloodline crystals. Are you sure you can find the bloodline crystals if you kill them?"
Ao Seng was no fool. As the Sixth Elder of the Ao Family, he had not only strength, but also experience.
Wang Mei looked gloomy, and all kinds of thoughts flashed through her mind. Did Ye Chen betray us? Otherwise, how could the Ao Clan find this place? Wasn't this too much of a coincidence? No, why did Ye Chen betray us? His power was far above mine and Wang She's. There was no need for him to leave the forbidden area of the Wang family to inform others. He could deal with us alone.
It should be a secret technique of the Ao Clan!
Thinking that she suspected Ye Chen, Wang Mei felt a little guilty.
"I won't hand over the bloodline crystal to you. Dream on!" Wang She's eyes were red, and a huge six-headed snake shadow appeared behind him.
"Brat, you want to die!"
One of the white-robed bamboo hat men yelled. He did not summon the Blue Eyed White Wolf shadow, but threw out a palm attack. That horrifying palm power attacked toward Wang She.
"Watch out!"
Wang Mei blocked in front of Wang She, blocking that palm attack for him.
Boom!
It was like a bomb had exploded in the stone room. That aggressive qi flow spread out in all directions, blowing Wang Mei and Wang She away.
"Sister Mei, are you okay?" Hundreds of meters away, Wang She saw the blood coming out of Wang Mei's mouth.
Wang Mei shook her head, "I'm fine!"
After so many years of training, Wang Mei had reached the Mid Astral Reaching Realm from the Early Clasping Yuan Realm. Once she called out the six-headed snake shadow, she would be able to compete with powerful Astral Reaching Realm warriors. Although the white-robed man was at the Late Astral Reaching Realm, he did not call out the Blue Eyed White Wolf shadow, so his power was not that much more powerful than Wang Mei's.
"The density of the six-headed snake bloodline is not bad." Ao Seng looked regretful. If he were a descendant of the Ao family, he would definitely be the focus of training.
Wang Mei looked at Ao Seng cautiously, protecting Wang She behind her.
Shaking his head, Ao Seng took a step forward and said with a creepy voice, "Since you are not willing to hand over the bloodline crystal, then don't blame me for being ruthless. Come here." As he reached out his hand, Wang Mei's body was sucked in without any power to fight back.
Shoo!
Right then, a sword qi shot out, cutting off the sucking power.
"Who is it?" Ao Seng only saw a blur before a blue figure flashed out and pulled Wang Mei back.
"Brother Ye!"
Wang She was overjoyed.
Locking his eyes on Ao Seng, Ye Chen said lightly, "Don't worry, I will take you out."
"It's you!" Ao Seng recognized Ye Chen. He regretted not killing him earlier, but at the same time, a mocking smile appeared on his face, "You? Since you are here, don't even think about leaving!"
His protective Zhen yuan had been shattered, turning into pieces of sword light. Ye Chen grabbed Wang She and Wang Mei, yelling with a low voice, "Go!"
Shoo!
The sword light shot out, and the three disappeared into the tunnel.
Ao Seng's expression froze for a second before he yelled, "Where do you think you're going?"
With a buzzing sound, a blue eyed white wolf shadow appeared behind Ao Seng's back. His whole body turned into a sphere of white light, chasing after them.
The two of them flew through the tunnel of the Wang family's forbidden area. Soon, Ye Chen was the first to jump out of the exit, diving into the depths of the lake.
Ao Seng was furious. He turned his head and yelled, "You four, go inform them!" Then, he chased after Ye Chen in a hurry.
In the sky above the island …
"What? They were saved? It was that blue-robed sword artist! " Ao Cheng's expression turned ugly. Before, Ao Seng had suggested to kill Ye Chen, but he did not agree. Now that two of the Wang family's descendants had been saved by Ye Chen, it was undoubtedly a slap on his face.
"The rest of you stay here. You two, follow me."
After using the bloodline tracking art to confirm the direction of Wang She and Wang Mei, Ao Cheng and the two black-robed bamboo hat men chased after them.
…
Splash!
A water breaking sound was heard as a sword light shot out. Vaguely, one could see three human figures wrapped within the sword light.
Not long after, another human figure shot out. His speed was much slower than the sword light, but he would not be able to get rid of it in a short period of time.
"Stay here!"
Ao Seng threw out a claw attack, his claw shadows flying everywhere.
Shoo!
The sword light was like a mischievous fish, traveling between the claw shadows without being harmed at all.
"What kind of secret art is this? An Astral Reaching Realm warrior can reach ten times the speed of sound?" While Ao Seng was furious, he also felt that it was unbelievable. Normally, an Astral Reaching Realm warrior who could reach five times the speed of sound would already be very powerful. Six or seven times the speed of sound would only be for Extreme Astral Reaching Realm warriors with extremely powerful body arts. As for those martial geniuses who could challenge Sea of Souls Realm warriors, they would not be able to increase their speed to more than ten times the speed of sound. However, Ye Chen's speed had completely overturned his understanding.
"Huh! My Zhen yuan is much richer than yours. Let's see how long you can last." Ao Seng did not believe that Ye Chen could last. The Sea of Souls Realm warriors' Zhen yuan was like the ocean, which was not something Astral Reaching Realm warriors could compete with.
One day and one night had passed.
Ye Chen had flown a whole nine hundred thousand miles with the two, leaving Ao Seng behind for more than one thousand miles. However, he did not stop, since it was not a coincidence that these people could find the forbidden place of the Wang family. Perhaps there was something more to it.
In fact, Ao Seng was not just one thousand miles away from Ye Chen, but two thousand miles. Because of the long chase, he could no longer see Ye Chen, so he had to wait for Ao Cheng to catch up. Only Ao Cheng's bloodline tracking spell could confirm their location.
"No! Let's switch to the flying puppet first!"
Ye Chen could not take it anymore, since he was not a Sea of Souls Realm warrior. One day and one night of flying at such a high speed was quite taxing on him. If it were not for his half spirit body, he would not be able to take it.
The flying puppet's top speed was ten times the speed of sound. Ye Chen wanted to see if Ao Seng and the rest could catch up or not. If they could not, then there would be no problem, and they could just find a place to hide. If they could, then it would be a big problem, since they obviously had a tracking spell.
In less than fifteen minutes, Ye Chen had found Ao Cheng and Ao Seng.
His face darkened, Ye Chen said to Wang Snake and Wang Mei, "If I have guessed it right, they should be able to track you two with a secret spell."
"Then what should we do?"
Wang Snake said anxiously.
"No other way. We can only fight with our endurance." Ye Chen could actually go to the South Rudra Martial School, since the leader of the school, Long Biyi, would be there. But, he should not forget that it was the Ao family, which was a royal family, which was equivalent to a rank 5 martial school. It was impossible for Ye Chen to go to the South Rudra Martial School and the Dragon God Celestial Palace for support every time something happened, not to mention that it might bring trouble to the Dragon God Celestial Palace.
Putting away the flying puppet, Ye Chen continued to perform his sword light flying spell.
While flying, Ye Chen split his attention and started to train his undying body.
Normally, it would be impossible to train other secret arts while operating Zhen yuan. However, operating Zhen yuan and training the undying body did not conflict at all, since the undying body did not use Zhen yuan, but soul power, which would form a soul mark and brand it on the body.
Another day and night had passed, and the group left the Star Regional Lake and arrived at the Wavy Snow Region.
"Impossible! How could he last that long?" Ao Seng and Ao Cheng were once again left a thousand miles away. If it were not for the bloodline tracking spell, they would have lost Ye Chen long ago.
Ao Cheng said with a low voice, "Only two days. I don't believe that he could last more than five days."
"This brat is strange. I hope it is as you said."
The sword light sliced through the sky, not slowing down at all.
"Not long ago, I had successfully branded the soul mark on the five viscera. Now, I have also done it on the six viscera. Next, I will start on the four limbs. Once the four limbs are done, the first level of the 'Flesh Healing' will be eighty percent complete.
Perhaps it was because of the urgency of the situation, but Ye Chen's speed of training the undying body had increased by dozens of times. It was like he was sitting on a rocket.
