"Let's go!"
The black-robed woman waved at Murong Qingcheng with a kind attitude.
"Ye Chen."
Murong Qingcheng took a few steps forward and turned back to look at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen smiled and said, "Go! With your talent, you can become a Demonic Human King in three to five years in the Chaotic Demonic Sea. At that time, you and I can travel the universe and explore the world together. "
"Yes!"
Murong Qingcheng nodded and walked to the black-robed woman's side with determination.
The black-robed woman showed a gratified expression. The Demonic Human Tribe looked powerful, but they were too few in number. Compared to the entire human tribe, they were insignificant. Every bit of power meant a bit more hope of survival. She was confident that she could train Murong Qingcheng to be the pillar of the Demonic Human Tribe.
"Let's go!"
The black-robed woman waved her hand, and the black rain of flowers fell from the sky and suddenly gathered together, wrapping her and Murong Qingcheng in it. Then, they turned into a black light spot and disappeared.
"Humph!"
The black-robed old man glanced at Ye Chen coldly and then disappeared.
"Fortunately, it was settled peacefully. Otherwise, we would have been in danger." The Yuan Emperor's image said with a bitter smile.
Letting out a deep breath, as if trying to drive away the bitterness of Murong Qingcheng's departure, Ye Chen turned around and said respectfully to the Yuan Emperor's image, "Thank you for your help, senior. Ye Chen will never forget it." Although he didn't think that the Demonic Human Emperor came here just to kill him, and maybe it was just as she said, to stop the black-robed old man. But no matter what, the Yuan Emperor's image did help him.
The Yuan Emperor's image said, "Let's not be so cliché. I am just a tool now. I will help whoever gets it, as long as he is not bad."
"Senior, what exactly is the danger of the True Water Palace? Can you elaborate?" Ye Chen asked curiously. "In ancient times, the Demons and humans fought for the control of the True Water Palace. The Demons lost.
As far as I know, the Demons are not people of this world. They come from the outer realms. Apart from the Demons, there are other races that have invaded Elysium. However, because they are few in number and move stealthily, no one knows about them. The True Water Palace was destroyed by the experts of another race, and they carried out a secret plan, turning it into an ominous land. I went to explore but didn't find anything. Later on, I and the other Kings sealed the entire palace and sunk it into the ocean, hoping that the later generations can find something and solve this crisis. "
The Yuan Emperor's image said.
"The Demons are not people of this world?" Ye Chen was quite astonished. This was the first time he had heard of such a secret. Moreover, the True Water Palace was also related to a race from the outer realms. It seemed like Elysium was not as safe as he had imagined. The races from the outer realms were eyeing this place covetously.
"Rest assured, senior. As long as Ye Chen has the ability, I will certainly solve this crisis." Ye Chen said resolutely.
The Yuan Emperor's image smiled, "No rush. That seal can still persist for a long time. Perhaps you won't be needed, unless there is an external force to break the seal."
"Then, I still have a long time."
Ye Chen let out a sigh of relief. What he lacked was time.
The Yuan Emperor's gaze fell on Ye Chen and sized him up. The Yuan Emperor's image said, "I can sense that you are one of the main characters of this era. Your luck is abundant. As long as you don't die prematurely, you will become a world-shaking character sooner or later. How nostalgic! If we were born in the same era, we might even be rivals."
There were only a few people that could attract the attention of the Yuan Emperor. It should be known that in his era, the Yuan Emperor could be said to have shaken the whole universe and was unrivaled. Even modern people held the Yuan Emperor in high esteem, believing that Yuan Emperor was an absolute expert among the titled monarchs of the past and present.
"Senior must be joking."
Before reaching the level of the Yuan Emperor, Ye Chen felt that it was better to be humble. This was not the time to use his heroic spirit.
The Yuan Emperor's image said, "Enter Life and Death realm as soon as possible. At that time, you will discover that the world is so vast and mysterious that you can spend your entire life exploring it without the slightest bit of boredom."
"I will."
Ye Chen's gaze turned sharp.
"Alright, if there's nothing life-threatening in the future, don't use this painting. I don't have much energy left. Once my will enters the real world, it will gradually dissipate." As he spoke, the Yuan Emperor's image took a step forward and entered the painting, once again condensing into a water demon's silhouette, motionless.
"Many thanks!"
Inwardly saying this, Ye Chen rolled up the painting and stored it in his storage ring.
…
In the void, looking at the gloomy Murong Qingcheng, the black-robed woman said with a gentle voice, "Don't think too much. You and him will meet sooner or later."
Murong Qingcheng didn't speak and only faintly nodded.
The black-robed woman continued, "As a demonic human, you have the responsibility to protect the entire demonic human race. You should know that although our race seems calm and peaceful, it's actually filled with hidden dangers. The slightest carelessness could lead to the destruction of our entire race. Whether it's for him, for yourself, or for your family, you have to become powerful. Otherwise, you'll hate yourself for being so weak in the future."
Murong Qingcheng could hear the exhaustion in the black-robed woman's voice, so she asked, "Senior, although our race is not favored by the human race, it's not to this extent, right?"
"You haven't reached my level, so of course you don't know about the crisis of our race. Let me ask you, one day, between demons and humans, which side would you choose?"
Murong Qingcheng was startled, "Weren't the Demons annihilated?"
"How could the Demons be annihilated? They are not a race from Elysium. They come from the outer realm, a powerful race from another world. When they come to Elysium again, it will be the second great war between demonic humans. Our race will be stuck in the middle, as if we're treading on thin ice."
"This … Countless years have passed, and no Demons have made a move. It can't be such a coincidence, right?" Life and Death Realm warriors only had a lifespan of one thousand years. For a great war to happen in one thousand years, Murong Qingcheng felt that the chances were extremely small, almost impossible.
"Better to prevent than to nip it in the bud. Moreover, I'm not saying it without any basis. In short, you have to become powerful as soon as possible. Powerful enough to become a peak character in this world. Only then will you have the right to speak and fight for the right to live for our race."
"Senior, which side will you choose?"
Murong Qingcheng suddenly asked.
"Me!" The lady in black forced a smile, "It's not about which side I choose, but whether they trust us or not. If they choose the Demons, we are just lower class people. If we choose the human race, they will definitely be on guard against us. If someone with bad intentions appears and provokes us, our race will be in danger."
"I will choose the human race."
Murong Qingcheng said with determination.
She was born and raised in Elysium. Half of her blood was human. Therefore, it was reasonable for her to choose the human race.
"It is meaningless to choose now."
The lady in black did not speak anymore. She sighed in her mind, hoping that this day would not happen. At least, it would not happen in her lifetime.
…
Without Murong Qingcheng to accompany him, Ye Chen did not ride on the flying puppet anymore. He only relied on the Zhen yuan inside his body and flew towards the south.
After half a month, Ye Chen stopped and looked down at the ocean. He mumbled to himself, "The Cold Iron City should be right under here."
The space between Qin Wentian's eyebrows split open, and the silver vertical eye looked down. In the silver world, the seawater had become transparent. Below the seabed, a majestic and vast city sat there. The city was covered by a round barrier, and there were people coming and going from time to time. It was incomparably prosperous.
Closing his vertical eye, Ye Chen took a deep breath. His body flashed as he jumped into the ocean, swimming towards the Cold Iron City.
The Cold Iron City was a very ancient city in Elysium. It was said that the whole city wall was made of Thousand Year Cold Iron. Although the Thousand Year Cold Iron was not a precious metal, it was still not something that could be easily found. Building the city wall would require an uncountable amount of Thousand Year Cold Iron.
There were two reasons for entering the Cold Iron City. First, it was to broaden his horizons. Second, it was because Ye Chen knew that the Cold Iron City was rich in materials, and the trade volume was huge. Maybe he could find some extreme rank materials there, which could be used to forge extreme rank great swords in the future. After all, he was not far from the Life and Death Realm. It would not be a bad thing to accumulate some materials.
There were eight city gates in the Cold Iron City. The other places were not allowed to enter, and could not be entered.
Outside the north gate, Ye Chen landed.
Without much inspection, Ye Chen was allowed to enter the Cold Iron City.
In other cities, the most prosperous place would be the restaurants. But in the Cold Iron City, the most popular place was the trade of materials. Walking on the street, there were stalls selling materials everywhere. Some of the things on these stalls were things that Ye Chen had never seen before.
As a newcomer, Ye Chen was not familiar with the Cold Iron City. So, he walked around and bought some materials for forging swords. Mid rank, top rank, everything was not missed. The higher the level of sword forging, the slower the progress would be. If one wanted to reach the realm of perfection, he would have to forge more swords and accumulate more experience.
In the evening, Ye Chen arrived at a restaurant.
"Have you heard? Recently, a merchant group was annihilated by three of the Fifty Bandits of the Blood Sea. All of their belongings were plundered. The men were killed and the women were taken away."
"This is not news anymore. A few days ago, it was spread all over the city. It caused the merchant groups in the Cold Iron City to not dare to casually leave the city. They are currently recruiting and buying horses. Only when they have enough people will they dare to leave the city. These Fifty Bandits of the Blood Sea are really terrifying."
"The Fifty Bandits have always been the most mysterious force in the Blood Sea. Any one of them is an overlord of a region."
"It's not just about us. As long as we don't pass through the Blood Sea, it will be fine."
When Ye Chen sat down, he heard many people discussing about the Fifty Bandits of the Blood Sea. Ye Chen did not care much about it. He ordered some dishes and wine and enjoyed it alone.
After eating and drinking to his heart's content, Ye Chen left the restaurant.
When he walked out of the door, a lady in blue walked past him. The two of them seemed to have sensed each other's aura and were slightly startled.
"This Cold Iron City is indeed an important city in the southern deep sea. There are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers."
On the street, Ye Chen thought to himself.
