"How do you still want to quibble now?"
Ye Chen himself didn't know how to open the Sound Transmitting Snail, but he had previously seen Yao Yifeng use it. How powerful was his soul power? The details of Yao Yifeng opening the Sound Transmitting Snail were clearly seen by him without the slightest mistake.
"Yao Yifeng, didn't expect you to really be a spy!"
Xu Danian and Wu Chuan were incomparably furious, their eyes turning blood red.
"Wei …"
Yao Yifeng lost his head out of fear and hastily looked at Azure Dragon Hall Leader Wei Longtao.
Peng!
A phantom flickered as Wei Longtao's palm slapped Yao Yifeng's head, exploding it on the spot. His flesh and blood evaporated.
Before Yao Yifeng's head exploded, Ye Chen clearly saw the incredulous expression in Yao Yifeng's eyes. It was as if he didn't dare to believe that Wei Longtao would kill him.
Not only Yao Yifeng, even Xu Danian, Wu Chuan, and Ye Chen didn't dare to believe it. After all, Wei Longtao didn't have the authority to kill Yao Yifeng. Under normal circumstances, Yao Yifeng would be escorted to the headquarters of Dragon God Celestial Palace to be interrogated by the Elders Association.
"Hall Leader Wei, what's the meaning of this?"
Ye Chen's expression turned cold as he questioned.
Wei Longtao said with an ice-cold expression, "Because of him, my Dragon God Celestial Palace lost close to a thousand troops. I once said that if I knew who the spy was, I would personally kill him. Now that I've confirmed that he's a spy, I naturally won't let him live. Deputy Ye, do you have any objections?"
"Of course I do. First, you don't have the authority to kill a Great Attendant who betrayed Dragon God Celestial Palace, because he might have other secrets. Second, you killed Yao Yifeng without the slightest hesitation. Could it be that you were afraid of him saying something important? Before his death, Yao Yifeng shouted your surname."
Ye Chen's gaze looked straight at Wei Longtao.
"There are many surnamed Wei. I don't think he was calling me."
Wei Longtao's expression turned gloomy.
"You still haven't answered my question."
Ye Chen did not retreat even half a step.
Standing next to Wei Longtao and Ye Chen, Wu Chuan and Xu Danian were a little nervous. Wei Longtao was the Azure Dragon Hall Master, and had accumulated his prestige for a long time. Although they were vice hall masters, they didn't dare to go against Wei Longtao. In many people's eyes, Wei Longtao was an iron-blooded person, ruthless and merciless. And although Ye Chen looked young, the baleful aura hidden in his body wasn't any less than Wei Longtao's. In Blood Battle Ocean, the scene of Ye Chen leading hundreds of people and killing in and out of the enemy's camp was still vivid in their minds. And just now, Ye Chen didn't say anything and directly chopped off Yao Yifeng's hand, which made them feel very apprehensive.
The two of them confronted each other, swords drawn.
"Palace Master, Vice Palace Master Ye, let's talk things out. There's no need to get angry." Xu Danian came out to mediate.
"Yeah, if there's anything, let's sit down and talk it out. If we can't come to an agreement, there's still the higher-ups. There's no need to have a conflict over Yao Yifeng's matter."
Wu Chuan thought that his temper was fiery enough, but in front of Ye Chen and Wei Longtao, he couldn't put on any airs. These two were ruthless characters.
Ye Chen also didn't look at Wu Chuan and Xu Danian, "Just now, the two of you saw it. Hall Master Wei was in a hurry to kill Yao Yifeng, so he must be hiding something. Before Yao Yifeng died, he shouted the word 'Wei', and his gaze was also on Hall Master Wei. It's impossible that the two of you didn't notice it."
Ye Chen wasn't a detective, nor was he a shrewd and astute character with real power. He was Ye Chen, a swordsman who was now known as a Sword Master. He had his own way of dealing with things, and there was no need to wait until the truth came to light. He also didn't have that much energy to investigate. As long as he had fifty percent certainty that there was something wrong with the other party, he wouldn't let it go. Moreover, Wei Longtao had killed Yao Yifeng in front of him, so the matter was different.
In short, Ye Chen's goal was to step onto the peak of the sword dao, and not to play any tricks. He was very clear about his priorities. As for why he didn't make a move when he suspected Yao Yifeng, it was because Yao Yifeng hadn't revealed too many clues. It couldn't be that he would capture him just because his expression was a bit strange. Doing so would only make him lose his popularity.
Wei Longtao's actions just now were problematic everywhere. He didn't believe that a dignified Azure Dragon Hall Master couldn't control his emotions. Most importantly, Yao Yifeng's gaze towards Wei Longtao and his shout of the word 'Wei' before his death was extremely suspicious.
"This!"
In truth, Xu Danian and Wu Chuan were also suspicious of Wei Longtao. Unfortunately, before the truth came to light, they didn't dare to act rashly. Not to mention, the two of them weren't Wei Longtao's opponent. They originally planned to sit down and have a good chat before secretly sending people to the Dragon God Celestial Palace to investigate. Unfortunately, Ye Chen was even more murderous than they had imagined.
Wei Longtao only said one sentence, "You have to understand that I'm the Azure Dragon Hall Master. The matters here are decided by me. You have no right to question me."
"Is that so? You also have to understand one thing. I'm the Dragon God Envoy of the Dragon God Celestial Palace, and my position is above yours. Not to mention the fact that you're the Azure Dragon Hall Master, even if you were the Great Elder of Elders Association, as long as I have sufficient reason to believe that there's something wrong with you, I wouldn't tolerate you."
Ye Chen squinted his eyes.
"You dare to use the name of Dragon God Envoy to suppress me?"
Wei Longtao's aura burst forth, and the air in the chamber became even heavier than mercury. Some of the items in the chamber directly exploded and disintegrated.
"Why wouldn't I dare?"
"What a good 'why wouldn't I dare'! Deputy Xu, Deputy Wu, capture Ye Chen for me. My reason is also very simple. He's familiar with the usage of the Sound Transmitting Snail, so there's definitely something wrong with him." Wei Longtao clenched his fists, and his gaze flickered a few times. In the end, he still suppressed his desire to make a move. In the end, he was extremely apprehensive of Ye Chen's position as Dragon God Envoy. If the other party wasn't a Dragon God Envoy, he would have long since captured him and let him know the immensity of heaven and earth.
"Hall Master Wei, please forgive us for not being able to comply."
Xu Danian and Wu Chuan were not idiots. As long as they dared to make a move against Ye Chen, their fates would be miserable. Not to mention the fact that Ye Chen's strength was there for all to see, whether they could capture him or not was still an issue. Most importantly, they didn't have the authority to capture Dragon God Envoy. Doing so would be equivalent to opposing the entire Dragon God Celestial Palace. The Elders Association would certainly capture them and throw them into the water prison.
Of course, the two were also unwilling to listen to Wei Longtao's orders.
"Hmph!"
Wei Longtao was a bit angry. Although he didn't believe that Xu Danian and Wu Chuan would dare to make a move against Ye Chen, their straightforward refusal made him feel as if his prestige had been challenged. In the past, this would have been absolutely intolerable, and he would have made an example out of them.
"I'll still say the same thing. Yao Yifeng betrayed the Dragon God Celestial Palace. Killing him won't be a problem. If you think I have a problem, let the higher-ups investigate me."
Wei Longtao turned around and left. He had made great contributions to the Dragon God Celestial Palace. He didn't believe that the palace would do anything to him just because he killed Yao Yifeng.
"Hehe!"
With a light chuckle, Ye Chen's aura turned sharp. The mercury-like air in the chamber was instantly sliced into countless strands. In an instant, a frightening sword aura pierced through his body and enveloped Wei Longtao.
"Hall Master Wei, I'm sorry. As a Dragon God Envoy, I want to bring you back to the Dragon God Celestial Palace. If you have anything to say, you can talk to the elders of the Elders Association."
As he spoke, Ye Chen took a step forward and extended his hand to grab Wei Longtao.
Peng!
Wei Longtao turned around and slapped at Ye Chen. Qi energy spread in all directions, and the walls of the chamber instantly warped.
"Ye Chen, don't think that just because you're a Dragon God Envoy or a monstrous genius of True Spirit Continent, you can look down on everyone. I'll let you know what regret is right now."
Wei Longtao was furious.
"Whether I regret or not has nothing to do with you."
Ye Chen made the first move. His ghostly speed allowed him to arrive before Wei Longtao in an instant, and he punched at the defenseless Wei Longtao.
Rumble!
The entire chamber shattered into pieces, and smoke rose in all directions.
Amidst the dense smoke, two figures flew out one after the other. Soon after, Xu Danian and Wu Chuan appeared in a somewhat sorry state.
"They actually started fighting."
Xu Danian was somewhat incredulous.
"Brother Xu, do you think there's a problem with Hall Master Wei?" Wu Chuan asked.
Xu Danian pondered for a moment, then said, "There's a problem."
"Seems like the two of us have the same thought. I also didn't think there was a problem with Hall Master Wei, but his actions just now were too strange. It was simply not like his usual calm self. However, I didn't expect that Deputy Ye Chen would directly confront Hall Master Wei."
"Perhaps he doesn't want to go through so much trouble!"
"But Hall Master Wei's strength is unfathomable. Ye Chen's actions are a bit impulsive, and might very well injure himself."
"Let's wait and see. If there's nothing we can do, we'll help Deputy Ye Chen and throw caution to the wind."
Xu Danian owed his life to Ye Chen, so he was determined to stand on his side.
Bang Bang Bang!
Under the night sky, the sky above Azure Dragon Island suddenly flickered with a resplendent radiance. It flickered as if it was daytime, yet also looked like a bizarre world.
"Ye Chen, in my eyes, you're merely a genius. Perhaps you haven't experienced the immensity of the heavens and the immensity of the earth. Today, I'll let you know, let you know that your so-called strength is not worth mentioning. Demonic Bull Mountain Crushing Art!"
Wei Longtao's cultivation base couldn't be considered very high, only at late Sea of Soul realm. However, he was still a body refining expert. The secret art he cultivated was actually the second layer of the Secret Pavilion's Demonic Bull Mountain Crushing Art, a low heaven grade secret art that could multiply his strength.
"What a powerful fleshly body!"
After exchanging blows with Wei Longtao, Ye Chen was endlessly apprehensive. For ordinary Sea of Soul realm experts, cultivating to the third step spirit body was already the limit. However, Wei Longtao's spirit body had actually reached the fourth step. If it wasn't through ordinary tempering, then it had to be due to refining a large amount of spirit energy crystals. It was indeed heaven-defying for Ye Chen to sit firmly on the head of the five great halls, even more so than Master Sky Sword.

He was indeed heaven-defying, even stronger than Master Sky Sword.
With the strength of Demonic Bull Mountain Crushing Art on the inside and powerful Zhen Yuan on the outside, Wei Longtao's figure flickered, choosing to engage in close combat with Ye Chen. Boundless palm pressure swept forth.
Clang!
Unsheathing the Thunder Disaster Sword, Ye Chen welcomed the incoming attack.
