"You two, take him away and keep a close eye on him." Zhang Zhenguang said to the two he brought.
"Yes!"
These two were also Daoist level experts. Watching over Yao Yifeng, who had lost his Zhen Yuan, was a piece of cake. They immediately stepped forward and pulled him away.
Before leaving, Yao Yifeng shot a venomous glance at Ye Chen, as if he wanted to imprint the latter in his eyes. However, Ye Chen didn't feel anything and remained indifferent.
"Ye Chen, this is the first time we've met. You're much more outstanding than I imagined." Zhang Zhenguang revealed a faint smile and said to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen faintly smiled and casually asked, "Hall Leader Zhang, I wonder how you'll punish him. A Sea of Soul Master should be very important to Dragon God Celestial Palace, right?"
Sea of Soul Masters were not cabbages. If a sixth grade sect had a Sea of Soul Master, they would become one of the peak sixth grade sects. For fifth grade sects, the number of Sea of Soul Masters was also the key to their comprehensive strength. Using the words of Ye Chen's world, Life and Death Kings were nuclear weapons, while Sea of Soul Masters were guided missiles. Nuclear weapons couldn't be used casually, so guided missiles became the main weapons, each having their own uses.
Zhang Zhenguang said, "Since he did something wrong, he has to atone for it. His crime isn't worthy of death. Therefore, I'll report to the higher-ups and send him to Blood Battle Ocean. He'll render meritorious service for Dragon God Celestial Palace and atone for his crimes."
"Blood Battle Ocean?"
Ye Chen could feel the killing intent in this name.
Zhang Zhenguang smiled, "Blood Battle Ocean is rich in resources. All the major forces of Eastern Shallow Ocean have their troops stationed there. It's a cruel place."
Faintly nodding, Ye Chen was clear that when it came to the fight for resources, it would be hard to not be cruel.
"Ye Chen, what's your strength?" Zhang Zhenguang suddenly asked.
Ye Chen pondered for a moment, then said, "Without using the Thunder Disaster Sword, I should be able to contend against ordinary Sea of Soul Masters. However, if I were to encounter an ordinary Sea of Soul Master with an extremely fast speed, I would be at a disadvantage."
Defense had always been Ye Chen's weakness. Facing a Sea of Souls Realm master level warrior with a fast speed, this weakness would be magnified.
"You are at the peak of Early Sea of Soul realm, and you haven't trained any defensive profound sense martial skills. So, it is inevitable that your defense will be low."
Actually, Zhang Zhenguang was already very surprised. There were three criteria to be a master level Sea of Souls Realm warrior: First, a late Sea of Souls Realm cultivation. Second, a couple of low rank profound sense martial arts and one mid rank profound sense martial art. Third, a rank 4 martial spirit. Of course, since some people were special in certain areas, even if one of the three did not meet the criteria, they could still be considered as a master level warrior as long as their overall power was enough. Ye Chen's cultivation and profound sense martial arts did not meet the criteria, but with only his powerful sword spirit, he was able to enter the master level warrior realm. It was not hard to imagine how powerful he was.
"This kind of genius is hard to find in the whole world. No wonder Palace Master would list him as the number one seed of Dragon God Celestial Palace. Even Li Xiaoling and the rest are ranked behind him."
Li Xiaoling was one of the candidates for Yellow Dragon Hall's deputy. His overall strength might not be as good as Ye Chen's, but he was strong in all aspects. His cultivation base was at the peak of mid Sea of Soul realm, and he was already studying mid rank profound sense martial skills. His martial spirit was at the fourth rank. Originally, Zhang Zhenguang was more optimistic about Li Xiaoling. However, after seeing Ye Chen, he changed his opinion. In comparison, Ye Chen was younger, and his potential was greater. Especially his sword spirit, it was simply world-shaking. Once he matured in other aspects, his accomplishments would be astonishing.
"Yao Yifeng, this matter was an accident. I hope you don't take it to heart. Many people of my Dragon God Celestial Palace attach great importance to you."
Zhang Zhenguang said with a stern expression.
Ye Chen laughed involuntarily, "Hall Master Zhang is overthinking things. When the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds. I won't take this matter to heart."
"It's good that you can think this way."
Zhang Zhenguang let out a sigh of relief. He had long heard of Ye Chen's character, and after seeing it today, he felt that it was true.
Ye Chen recalled the matter of Murong Qingcheng's mother and said with a frown, "Hall Master Zhang, how long will the Shadowless Poison flare up?"
Zhang Zhenguang's face turned cold, "The Shadowless Poison is one of the most mysterious poisons under the heavens. After being poisoned, it becomes traceless and formless, making it impossible to find the source. Precisely because of this, the Shadowless Poison's flare up a bit later. It won't be fatal immediately, but once it does, nobody can save it, including Life and Death Kings. The duration of the Shadowless Poison's flare up is related to the grade of the poisoned person's spirit body. If a Sea of Soul realm expert with a first step spirit body is poisoned, it will be fatal in three days. If a second step spirit body is poisoned, it will be ten days, and a third step spirit body is one month. As for martial artists under Sea of Soul realm, it will be impossible to save them in one day. "
"One month!"
Su Ruhui had a third step spirit body, which meant that she only had a month to live. They had to find a way to save her within a month.
"Then, is there any way for Life and Death Kings to save her?"
Zhang Zhenguang shook his head, "I don't know either. The Shadowless Poison is extremely rare, and very few people are poisoned. Therefore, there is no precedent. However, I think that even if Life and Death Kings can't save her, they should be able to delay the flare up of the poison."
"Delay the flare up? Is senior Dragon King in the Dragon God Celestial Palace? "
The first person Ye Chen thought of was Dragon King. Without a choice, he could only consider it as owing Dragon King another favor.
Zhang Zhenguang smiled bitterly, "I won't hide it from you. Palace Master is currently in closed-door training. Nobody knows where he went. Moreover, you should have heard that Palace Master's age has already surpassed a thousand years, breaking the limit of human Kings. This is his second closed-door training, and we're all very worried."
Hearing these words, Ye Chen creased his brows. Sure enough, breaking the limit of human life was not that easy. Even Dragon King was in closed-door training, so one could easily imagine how difficult it was.
"This should be a secret, right?"
Ye Chen didn't understand why Zhang Zhenguang would say this.
"Palace Master's closed-door training is not a secret. Many people are waiting for him to fail. Of course, before he fails, they won't dare to make a move. Ye Chen, actually, you don't have to go to Palace Master. In terms of saving people, Xuanhou is much more skilled than Palace Master. I think if you go to Xuanhou, Xuanhou should agree."
Ye Chen's talent was impossible for Xuanhou not to notice. If Ye Chen went, he would be more useful than anyone else. Moreover, Xuanhou and Dragon King had a good relationship, so it was impossible for Xuanhou not to give face to Dragon King.
Pausing for a bit, Zhang Zhenguang continued, "Xuanhou's sect is in Sky Martial Region's Phoenix Cry Mountain. It's not too far from here, about seven million li away. You can make it back in time. However, you have to be careful on the way. If there is nothing urgent, I can go with you."
Every time Dragon King entered closed-door training, Dragon God Celestial Palace would be busier than usual. Zhang Zhenguang had rushed over despite his busy schedule, which showed how much importance he attached to Ye Chen. Of course, it was not impossible for him to go with Ye Chen. However, Dragon King had instructed him to let Ye Chen experience more pressure. He shouldn't care about such a trivial matter.
"No need to trouble Palace Master Zhang. I will be more cautious by myself."
Ye Chen naturally wouldn't trouble Zhang Zhenguang.
Taking out a map from his storage ring, Zhang Zhenguang handed it over to Ye Chen and said, "This is the map of Sky Martial Region. Phoenix Cry Mountain is on it."
"Many thanks!"
Receiving the map, Ye Chen casually put it in his storage ring.
In a spacious and comfortable courtyard of Yellow Dragon Palace's branch, Murong Zhishui and his family were together.
"Zhishui, Qingcheng, cheer up. I'm not going to die right now. There's still time." Su Ruhui saw Murong Zhishui and Murong Qingcheng's gloomy expressions and said helplessly.
Murong Zhishui said, "No matter what, I'll save you, even if I have to risk my life."
After thirty years of affection, Murong Zhishui had already considered Su Ruhui as a part of him, inseparable.
"Mother!"
Murong Qingcheng's eyes were bright red. If not for her, her mother wouldn't have been poisoned. She hated Yuwen Clan, but at the same time, she felt powerless.
Pata! Pata!
Footsteps sounded.
Ye Chen walked in from outside.
"Ye Chen!"
The three looked over.
Ye Chen smiled, "Uncle, Murong, there might be a way to cure auntie's poison!"
"There is!"
Murong Zhishui and Murong Qingcheng's eyes brightened. Although they knew that there was no poison in this world that could not be cured, there was a limit to their power. Right now, Ye Chen had undoubtedly brought them a ray of hope, even if it might turn out to be a disappointment in the end.
"What is it?"
Murong Zhishui asked hopefully.
Ye Chen said, "Tomorrow morning, I will leave for Sky Martial Region's Phoenix Cry Mountain and ask Xuanhou to save auntie. I think with Xuanhou's power, there would be a great chance to cure auntie. Even if it doesn't work, it would at least delay the outbreak of the poison, giving me time to find the ingredients to make the antidote."
"Ask Xuanhou to save Ruhui!" Murong Zhishui was shocked. Xuanhou had taken good care of the Demi Family, but it was not limited to the Murong Family. Even the Abstruse Bead that she gave to his daughter Qingcheng was sent over by someone else. She did not come here personally. It could be seen that she only regarded her daughter Qingcheng as a genius that could be cultivated, unlike the Dragon King who valued Ye Chen. After all, how many Ye Chen's were there in this world? Of course, if there was no other way, they could only ask Qingcheng to look for Xuanhou.
Now that Ye Chen said that he was going to look for Xuanhou, it undoubtedly increased the hope. Ye Chen's current achievements were already so shocking, in a few years, there would be no one who would not pay attention to him. It was very likely that he would become the future Sword King, or even the Sword Emperor.
"That's right, the Dragon King is currently in closed-door training. Palace Head Zhang asked me to look for Xuanhou."
Ye Chen nodded.
"Then I'll leave it to you. Oh right, I'll go with you." Murong Zhishui recalled that Ye Chen was also a target of public criticism and was somewhat worried. Who knew, someone might launch a sneak attack on him.
Ye Chen shook his head and said, "Uncle, you stay here and accompany auntie! I alone am enough. " In fact, he was worried that he would not be able to save Su Ruhui. And if he could not save her, this would be the last time Su Ruhui and Murong Zhishui could be together.
"Ye Chen, be careful."
Murong Qingcheng was currently still at the peak of late Astral Reaching realm. If she went with Ye Chen, she would only be a burden. She inwardly decided that she had to enter the Sea of Soul realm as soon as possible. Otherwise, the distance between her and Ye Chen would only grow further and further, and she would not be able to protect the family.
"I will."
Ye Chen gave Murong Qingcheng a reassuring glance.
