Three mid rank spirit veins, which was a couple of months worth of mining, was a shocking number. Ye Chen spent a whole fifteen minutes before he managed to put all of the spirit stones into his storage rings. So far, two mid rank storage rings and ten low rank storage rings had been filled.
Not all of the spirit stones from the mid rank spirit veins were mid rank spirit stones. In fact, the low rank spirit stones were more than the mid rank ones, taking up half of the total, while the mid rank spirit stones took up ninety percent of the remaining half. The top rank spirit stones were the least, but it was still quite impressive.
This was the harvest from two top rank mid rank spirit veins and one top rank mid rank spirit vein. And these three spirit veins made up quite a lot of the one thousand spirit veins. After all, out of the one thousand spirit veins that the Dragon God Celestial Palace had in the Blood Battle Ocean, nine hundred of them were all low rank spirit veins. Dozens of low rank spirit veins might not even be able to compete with one top rank or top rank mid rank spirit vein.
After collecting the spirit stones, Ye Chen did not waste any time and left the Mysterious Spirit Island immediately, bringing his people and flying towards the Five Gold Island.
On the way, Ye Chen's eyebrows flicked as he slowed down his speed.
"Second leader Ye, what's wrong?"
The middle-aged scholar Yan Kuan asked.
Ye Chen raised his arm and pointed to the right, "Let's go this way."
"This way?"
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.
Yao Yifeng's expression changed as he yelled, "Second leader Ye, what we need to do right now is to meet up with second leader Xu as soon as possible. What are you doing?"
Ye Chen looked at Yao Yifeng with a sharp gaze, "Am I the second leader, or are you the second leader? All you need to do is follow the orders."
Yao Yifeng said with a bit of courage, "Right now, the Azure Dragon Palace is in danger. We cannot let you act on your own and put us in unnecessary danger. Please reconsider."
"Second leader Ye, attendant Yao is right. We should meet up with second leader Xu right now. The longer we are separated, the more dangerous it will be."
"Deputy Palace Leader Ye, you have to give us a reason."
There were too many people who didn't know what was going on. Some of them stood out to support Yao Yifeng. After all, compared to fighting against the Deputy Palace Master, their lives were more important. If they lost their lives, fighting against the Deputy Palace Master wouldn't make any difference. Besides, to be honest, they didn't really trust Ye Chen. Not everyone had leadership abilities.
Ye Chen narrowed his eyes and stared at Yao Yifeng for a long time. After a while, he said, "If we walk in a straight line, we will be ambushed. If we walk on the right front, we can catch them off guard. Is this reason enough?"
"There will be an ambush."
Everyone was shocked.
Hearing him, a trace of panic flashed through Yao Yifeng's eyes as he forced a smile and said, "Second leader Ye, how do you know there will be an ambush? We are all at the Sea of Souls Realm, and our soul power is the same. But, I didn't sense anything. Perhaps you are overthinking."
Right then, even Xing Meilian was looking at Ye Chen strangely, because she also didn't sense anything strange. She had even checked whether there were any black octopuses under the sea. Moreover, if Ye Chen sensed an enemy, the enemy would definitely know as well. After all, everyone was at the Sea of Souls Realm, and they were very sensitive to soul power scanning.
Ye Chen said lightly, "You don't need to know this. Besides, this is the first time I am explaining to everyone, and also the last time. Next time, whoever dares to disobey will be punished according to the palace rules. Right now, everyone follow me. If you don't, you will be treated as a traitor."
Changing his route, Ye Chen flew toward the right front.
Xing Meilian, Chen Yuxin, and the rest hesitated a bit before following him. Soon, most of the people followed, leaving only Yao Yifeng and a small group.
"Let's go."
Yao Yifeng said in a low voice.
Although he dared to voice out his opinion, he didn't dare to go against Ye Chen directly. He was sure that if he did, Ye Chen would definitely take him down.
Although everyone was following behind Ye Chen, they were still communicating with each other.
"What the hell is Deputy Ye doing? Instead of gathering with Deputy Xu, he said that there is an ambush ahead. I don't believe he can sense it."
"He is the deputy. We should just follow his orders. Perhaps he has his own concerns."
Xing Meilian spoke up for Ye Chen.
"Yeah, I also believe that Senior Brother Ye wouldn't do this for no reason."
Chen Yuxin chose to stand on Ye Chen's side.
…
On the two sides of the original route, groups of people were lying in ambush. There were six of them in total. The entrance of the ambush was very wide, at least a thousand miles wide. The closer it was to the center, the closer the distance between the two sides was. The whole ambush was like an 'X' shape. Reaching the center of the 'X', one's soul power would be able to sense the people on both sides. Unfortunately, it would already be in the middle of the ambush. Once the enemies saw Ye Chen and the rest, they would send out a signal, and then they would definitely be surrounded.
If Ye Chen chose the right front, he would be able to kill them. Although there were a lot of enemies, they were separated into six groups, which meant that their manpower was spread out by six times.
As for how Ye Chen knew about it, it shouldn't be forgotten that Ye Chen's soul power was five times that of normal people. He could scan everything within five hundred miles, and the quality was even higher than Sea of Souls Realm warriors. His soul power was equivalent to a king warrior's soul power. He could sense others, but others would not be able to sense his soul power scanning.
This was the advantage and usefulness of Ye Chen.
On the island closest to Ye Chen and the rest, two hundred people were hiding in a mountain. Their clothes had a swirl pattern on them; they were the warriors of the Water wave School.
"This time, our school has sent out six hundred warriors, and the Sky Eagle Cult has sent out seven hundred warriors. Altogether, it would be one thousand and three hundred warriors. Killing three hundred of them would be too easy. The Black King Gate and Whirlwind Gate would definitely be able to kill the other three hundred as well. Haha, killing seven hundred warriors at once … The Azure Dragon Hall has lost almost half of its power."
"Including the last time, the Azure Dragon Hall has already lost one thousand warriors in a couple of months. They must be in a panic right now."
"They can only blame themselves for being careless and not being able to gain the upper hand every time."
"Yeah, I have to say that the average battling power of the Azure Dragon Hall is a lot higher than ours. If we were to fight with the same number of people, we would be at a disadvantage."
"Haha, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's drink and kill the enemies later."
"Cheers!"
Inside the mountain, the aroma of wine filled the air.
…
A hundred miles away from the island, Ye Chen stopped.
Turning his head, Ye Chen said with a cold voice, "Wait for my order. Once I give the order, everyone will increase their speed. Sea of Souls Realm warriors, start attacking the biggest mountain on the island from thirty miles away. Attack while moving forward at full speed. Astral Reaching Realm warriors, just follow behind us and wait for my order."
A hundred miles distance would be covered in seven to eight breaths for normal Sea of Souls Realm warriors, and twenty to thirty breaths for Astral Reaching Realm warriors. As for Ye Chen, it would only take him two to three breaths. If he used his Defensive Sword Spell, it would be even faster. However, the effect would not be that great by himself, so he would need the other Sea of Souls Realm warriors to attack together. As for Astral Reaching Realm warriors, it would be useless, since their speed would be too slow.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Chen yelled, "Full speed!"
Shoo!
Ye Chen flew out first.
"Let's go!"
Including Lin Canghai, Chen Yuxin, and Luo Yunsong, forty-three Sea of Souls Realm warriors followed closely behind. The three hundred Astral Reaching Realm warriors were a lot slower, and had been left far behind.
One hundred miles!
Eighty miles!
Sixty miles!
Fifty miles!
Inside the mountain on the island, a Sea of Souls Realm warrior subconsciously released his soul power, and then took it back immediately. Hm? He frowned and released his soul power again.
All of a sudden …
His expression changed.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Get out of the mountain now … "
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, a huge black thunder ball exploded on the mountain peak. Then, sword Qi, saber Qi, palm energy, fist energy, True Essence, crescent moon light, claw shadows, all of them bombarded the mountain peak. For a moment, time seemed to stand still above the island, and the air was as thick as water.
Rumble!
The black thunder ball released by Ye Chen was the first to show its effect. The aggressive black lightning shot everywhere like countless black flood dragons playing in the sky. The sky changed color. The sword qi and blade qi cut everything in front of them open, while the palm power and fist power shattered the whole place …
"Ah!"
Screams were heard one after another. No one knew how many people had died in this sudden attack. Even the powerful Sea of Souls Realm warriors were not spared.
"This!"
Xing Meilian and the rest were stupefied. They had followed Ye Chen's orders to not release their soul power. Whoever dared to release their soul power would be killed without mercy. Therefore, only when the mountain was shattered and the people inside turned into ashes did they realize that there were enemies here.
"How did he know?"
This was what everyone wanted to know.
"Don't let a single one go."
Ye Chen's expression was cold. He knew that if he let one go, he wouldn't be able to continue killing the enemy forces. The four forces had killed so many people of Dragon God Celestial Palace. This time, it was time for them to suffer a heavy blow. Moreover, it would be an extremely painful one.
"Attack!"
Xing Meilian admired Ye Chen from the bottom of her heart. She had already made up her mind. In the future, whatever Ye Chen said, she would do.
Among everyone, Lin Canghai was the most hardworking. He had previously said that he would compete with Ye Chen in terms of number of kills, and now, it had already begun.
As a master level sword artist who was no weaker than the second master of the elder union, Lin Canghai alone was more than enough to fight against a lot of people. That dense sword qi covered over, and a huge area in the center of the island was under the attack of his sword qi. Unfortunately, Ye Chen's one thunder ball had killed too many people. No matter how one looked at it, he was still a little bit lacking.
The whole island was thrown into chaos. There were less than ten people left, all of whom were head attendants and battle attendants. As for the other Sea of Soul realm experts and Astral Reaching experts, they were all dead, not a single one left alive.
"Run!"
These seven or eight enemies scattered, running for their lives.
Swish!
A black sword Qi slashed out, devouring two enemies not far away. This was an attack launched by Ye Chen.
Although the others were running, there were too many attacks. Being caught in the fierce firepower net, how could they escape? One after another, they were shattered into pieces.
At this point, the first surprise attack was a complete success.
Ye Chen and forty people had killed more than two hundred enemies, and the Astral Reaching experts had yet to catch up. They could only be useful in a frontal battle.
