Kacha!
A crack appeared in the space above the Four Extremes Plaza, and the benevolent-looking Old Dragon King walked out. His hair was white, but his spirit was excellent, as if he could live for many more years. His spirit, Qi, and soul were even more vigorous than those young Life and Death Kings.
"Senior Dragon King!"
Ye Chen and the rest greeted.
Dragon King waved his hand and smiled at Ye Chen, "Ye Chen, your senior Air Emperor is just joking with you. Don't take it to heart."
"Joking? That's not necessarily true."
Air Emperor was naturally not joking with Ye Chen. However, he was quite apprehensive of Dragon King. After living for more than a thousand years, nobody knew what tricks Dragon King had up his sleeves. He had the confidence to defeat Dragon King, but he also believed that he would have to pay a disastrous price.
Most importantly, he didn't have the confidence to deal with both Dragon King and Xuanhou at the same time.
"Air Emperor, I'm very sorry about Wind Storm King's death. But, the winner takes all. It's that simple. We've also come this far."
Xuanhou dispersed the mysterious Ten Thousand Layers Gate and walked out of the void.
"What a good 'winner takes all'. Fine, I'll give Old Dragon King and Yan girl some face today and not lower myself to your level. But, that might not be the case in the future."
Air Emperor retracted his oppressive aura and said with an indifferent tone.
The graveyard of Four Extremes Emperor had already opened, and the things inside that could catch his eye were few and far between. If he were to fight with Xuanhou and Dragon King for a supreme grade sword, it would instead benefit Xu King. He didn't have the confidence to come out unscathed under the joint attack of Xuanhou and Dragon King.
Hearing these words, Dragon King smiled, "Ye Chen, why aren't you thanking senior Air Emperor?"
"Many thanks to senior Air Emperor for not taking it to heart."
Ye Chen was also a person who knew when to advance and when to retreat. In front of absolute strength, one had to lower one's head. This had nothing to do with surrendering.
"No need to thank me. It's just for today."
The Air Emperor waved his hand and no longer looked at Ye Chen.
As they spoke, more and more Life and Death Kings arrived. There were peak Kings like Evil King and Prison King, as well as some solitary Kings. There were also some Kings that no one had ever heard of. They should be the kind of hidden Kings that no one had heard of.
"Ye Chen, after we get out, you should bid farewell to your family and prepare to leave the continent!" Xuanhou waved her sleeve, creating an invisible barrier to prevent others from hearing their voices.
"Qingxuan is right. There are many Kings on True Spirit Continent. Just human Kings alone number more than a hundred. Adding the foreign Kings, it's very complicated. The matter of you having the Sky Scorpio Sword is no longer a secret. Staying on True Spirit Continent will be extremely dangerous. Qingxuan and Old Dragon King can't appear in front of you at any time."
Qing Liu also said.
Ye Chen nodded, "I have already prepared for this. It is time to leave the continent."
He had offended a lot of Life and Death Kings. Although these Life and Death Kings were quite afraid of Xuanhou and Dragon King, and would not dare to kill him in public, but if they wanted to assassinate him, they would have plenty of methods. In this world, relying on others would always be a waste. Relying on oneself was the way to go.
"I will go with you."
Murong Qingcheng held Ye Chen's hand.
Ye Chen turned his head and smiled. With the woman he loved accompanying him, it did not matter where he went.
"Ye Chen, don't worry. No one will dare to touch your family, and no one will break this taboo. Our Dragon God Celestial Palace will also ensure their safety." Dragon King continued, "As for Xu Jing, you do not need to worry. She is different from you. When you meet again, you will know who she is. At that time, you will have to rely on yourselves to protect yourselves."
"Remember, before you become a Life and Death King, you better not come back. Not everyone wants you to become a Life and Death King, and I do not have many years left to live."
"Senior Dragon King!"
Ye Chen looked worried.
Dragon King smiled as he waved his hand, "After living for a thousand years, I have no regrets. If I can see you guys grow before I die, it would be the best. If you have the heart, perhaps the Dragon God Celestial Palace will depend on you to preserve it."
Ye Chen said seriously, "Senior, don't worry. As long as Ye Chen has one breath left, I will not let the Dragon God Celestial Palace disappear. Of course, senior, you will definitely live well. You have made it through so many times already."
Dragon King said, "Impossible. Nothing can happen more than three times. I know my own situation the best."
Right then, Xuanhou sighed, "This is a great era, and also a time of chaos. No one knows what will happen in the future. Ye Chen, Murong, Feng 'er, you three are the martial geniuses I think highly of. You have to work hard and control your own destiny."
"Master, I will."
Yan Fengfeng's expression was resolute.
"Ye Chen and Murong will as well."
Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng exchanged a glance and nodded.
"Alright, you won't be able to interfere in the following matters. Remember, leave True Spirit Continent as soon as possible. The farther, the better."
Xuanhou didn't want to scare them too much, but she still had to give them the necessary pressure.
"Senior, farewell."
Ye Chen was also not a wishy-washy person. He cupped his fists and left.
Watching Ye Chen and the rest leave, Dragon King said, "Everyone has their own destiny. It's up to them now."
"He is not a fish in a pond."
Xuanhou had never been able to see through Ye Chen. Ye Chen's future accomplishments were unfathomable.
…
Leaving the graveyard, Ye Chen's group of five returned the way they came. Soon, they exited the forbidden region and arrived in the outside world.
"Ye Chen, I have no worries. I'm going to leave True Spirit Continent now. However, I'm going to the deep ocean beyond the Western Shallow Ocean. If you're going in the same direction as me, we might meet in the deep ocean."
Sun Tianlang didn't have a strong backer. If he didn't leave, only death would await him. Therefore, he had to leave True Spirit Continent.
"Brother Sun, I've implicated you this time."
Ye Chen was very apologetic.
Sun Tianlang said unhappily, "What are you saying? If not for you guys, I would've died in there long ago. This life of mine was picked up, and I even obtained many benefits. Ye Chen, if you treat me as a friend, even an ordinary one, don't mention these things in the future."
"Alright, I won't mention it."
Ye Chen also felt that he was being too blunt.
"In that case, we'll meet again someday. I hope I can also step into Life and Death realm in my lifetime."
Sun Tianlang laughed heartily and sped away.
After one of them left, Ye Chen and the other three were heading in the same direction, so they headed back together.
Not far away from the Mysterious Martial School, the four were about to separate as well.
"Ye Chen, we'll meet again someday." Yan Fengfeng, who was standing on top of the mountain, said, "The next time we meet, I hope we will all be Life and Death Realm warriors."
"Definitely."
After going through thick and thin together, Ye Chen had already treated Yan Fengfeng as his best friend. It was the kind of person who would do anything for each other without any reason.
"Ye Chen, live on."
Qing Liu was their senior, so she reminded him.
…
The Sky Martial Region was quite a distance away from the South Rudra Region. Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng got on the flying puppet, flying at ten times the speed of sound.
On the back of the flying puppet, Murong Qingcheng said, "Ye Chen, time is running out. You don't have to go back with me. I can go back by myself."
"Then, be careful."
Ye Chen felt that it was reasonable.
"Yeah, right, where are we going after leaving this land?" Murong Qingcheng asked.
Ye Chen looked to the south and said, "I have a couple of friends there. Let's go to the South Shallow Ocean first, then to the Endless Ocean. Let's meet up in the South Rudra Region's Sky South Nation."
The Sky South Nation was one of the small nations in the South Rudra Region. It was close to the South Shallow Ocean, and was not that far away from the Windy Nation.
"Alright."
After separating from Murong Qingcheng, Ye Chen immediately flew toward the Ye family.
…
Ye family …
"You are leaving the land?"
Ye Tianhao was confused.
Ye Chen had to tell his parents some things.
Although Shen Yuqing looked reluctant, he still said, "Remember, be careful out there. When it is time to back off, you still have to back off a bit. Otherwise, you might make too many enemies."
"Mother, I understand. Father, you don't have to worry. This time, I'll be leaving the continent. I'll be back in five years at most. For us martial artists, five years is very short."
Astral Reaching experts could live up to two hundred years. Ye Chen had left behind a lot of resources for his parents and Ye family. Charging into the Sea of Soul realm was not without hope. Once one became a Sea of Soul realm expert, they would have a lifespan of three hundred years. Five years compared to three hundred years was indeed not worth mentioning.
Moreover, with his younger brother and sister here, Ye Chen could also leave without worry.
"Alright, as long as you're safe."
Ye Tianhao and Shen Yuqing's faces were filled with both reluctance and pride. Ye Chen was already a legend of True Spirit Continent. As Ye Chen's parents, they had long since been satisfied.
Returning to Sky Cloud Sect, Ye Chen couldn't help but sigh at the changes. Compared to the old Sky Cloud Sect, the current Sky Cloud Sect was more than ten times larger. The experts in the sect were like clouds in the sky. From one Astral Reaching expert, it had grown to dozens, especially the core disciples, who were all at the Astral Reaching realm. Among them, the well-known figures like Luo Hanshan, Zhu Mei, and Zhang Haoran had even reached the Sea of Soul realm. Even without Ye Chen, Sky Cloud Sect was already an influential sixth grade sect in South Rudra Region.
Of course, all of this was brought about by Ye Chen. Geniuses needed both talent and resources. Only with sufficient resources could one display their talent to the fullest. After all, not everyone could have a heaven-defying opportunity. Some geniuses with bad luck, because they didn't have enough resources, had their progress slowed.
Seeing Ye Chen, these disciples of the same generation as Ye Chen were deeply moved. Although they didn't have Ye Chen's achievements, they were already independent experts in South Rudra Region, which had long surpassed their dreams. How could they not understand that the rise of Sky Cloud Sect was because of Ye Chen? Back then, when Ye Chen obtained the first place in the Hidden Dragon Ranking, it had already brought a huge fortune to Sky Cloud Sect.
"Ye Chen, be careful."
As the leader of Sky Cloud Sect, Luo Hanshan had taken his former senior sister, Zhu Mei, as his wife. The two already had a child, a girl.
Next to him, Zhu Mei, who had a more mature temperament, smiled and said, "You will always be the pride of Sky Cloud Sect. Luo Hanshan and I often reminisce about the times when we were both disciples."
Ye Chen was too different. It was impossible for Zhu Mei to say that she didn't have a crush on Ye Chen. In fact, most of the girls in Sky Cloud Sect had a crush on Ye Chen. However, they could only keep it in their hearts, because Ye Chen and they were not in the same world after all.
"Hehe!"
Ye Chen chuckled. Sometimes, he also liked to reminisce.
"Ye Chen, take care."
Zhang Haoran, who had become more mature, patted Ye Chen's shoulder.
"I will."
Ye Chen turned his head to look at Wu Zongming, then looked at the 'disciples' of the same generation as him. He revealed a smile, then turned around and flew out of the Windy Mountain.
…
Sky South Nation, on a mountain peak near the sea …
Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng were standing on the mountain peak hand in hand, looking at the sea in the distance. A red sun was slowly rising up, stretching the two's shadows, their clothes fluttering in the wind.
