Under Qin Tianxiong's astonished gaze, Ye Chen threw the life-and-death tag toward the gate of the Life-and-Death Palace. The gate was already open, but a layer of black and white interweaving energy barrier appeared. As soon as the tag touched the barrier, a gap immediately appeared.
"Come, let's go in!"
Ye Chen's body flickered into the Life-and-Death Palace.
"This Ye Chen will probably shock the whole world!" Although Qin Tianxiong didn't ask where Ye Chen got the tag, there were only two ways to obtain it. One was to join hands with others and kill a top rank evil spirit, and the other was to kill a top rank evil spirit alone. The former possibility was relatively low, because it was hard to run into them in Life-and-Death Secret Realm.
As soon as he entered the Life-and-Death Palace, dozens of gazes landed on Ye Chen's body. The owners of these gazes were all young experts with sharp gazes. Even Ye Chen couldn't ignore them. As for Qin Tianxiong, his body shivered as he almost made a fool out of himself.
"Ye Chen!"
"Ye Chen, you're finally here!"
"Ye Chen, long time no see!"
"Brother Ye!"
Ye Chen was like a superstar, the object of everyone's attention. As one of the True Spirit Seven, Qin Tianxiong could be said to have a bit of fame. However, at this moment, he had become a side character that no one paid attention to. Following behind Ye Chen, almost no one paid any attention to him.
"Who is this guy? He seems to be getting a lot of attention. "
"Strange! How can a newcomer be so popular?"
People from Blood Sky Continent and Sky Sword Continent were confused.
Marquis Giant Sword and Marquis Short Sword's expressions froze upon seeing Ye Chen's appearance. A cold light flickered in Marquis Giant Sword and Short Sword's faces were full of fear. They had witnessed Ye Chen's strength with their own eyes, so they didn't find it strange that Ye Chen was getting so much attention. After all, with Ye Chen's battle strength, it was impossible for him to not have any fame.
"That's right, how did he get in here? It's impossible to enter the Hall of Life and Death without a Life-and-Death Badge. Could it be that he has the strength to kill a top-grade Evil Spirit?"
"Impossible. He must have joined forces with others to kill a top-grade Evil Spirit. Didn't you see that there was another person with him?"
"Hmm, there were probably quite a few people who joined forces with him. In the end, only the two of them were left."
Almost no one believed that Ye Chen had the strength to kill a top-grade evil spirit by himself. Or rather, they didn't want to believe it, and each and every one of them came up with a reasonable explanation.
The first few voices didn't cause Ye Chen's expression to change. However, the soft voice at the end caused Ye Chen's heart to tremble. His gaze swept across the crowd excitedly before finally landing on a beautiful and quiet woman.
Xu Jing!
After so many years, the two of them finally met again.
Xu Jing's gaze met Ye Chen's. Unlike before, there was no trace of dominance in her gaze. Instead, there was gentleness and joy.
With a smile on his face, Ye Chen walked over to Xu Jing.
"Senior sister Xu Jing!"
Ye Chen was still used to calling Xu Jing senior sister. This meant that he hadn't changed. Without waiting for her to speak, he suddenly hugged Xu Jing. The latter's soft body seemed very small and delicate in his embrace.
Xu Jing blinked her eyes, and a trace of redness appeared on her face.
This!
Everyone in the Life and Death Palace was stupefied. After all this time, this incomparably valiant and beautiful woman turned out to be Ye Chen's woman. This made many people who harbored hopes disappointed.
Young Elephant Lord coldly snorted and clenched his fists. Although it was his first time seeing Xu Jing, he had already decided that Xu Jing was his woman. Seeing Ye Chen hugging Xu Jing made his heart twitch.
"Yan Fengfeng, is this Ye Chen's real girlfriend? How come I heard that his previous girlfriend was a demonic human? "Ji Hairuo asked Yan Fengfeng.
Yan Fengfeng said uncertainly, "They should both be his girlfriends!" She had never seen Xu Jing before. Xu Jing had been brought to the Dragon God Celestial Palace by Dragon King a long time ago. Only the people of South Rudra Region knew a little about her.
"Oh, so that's how it is. Ye Chen is quite fortunate."
"You wouldn't be thinking about junior brother Ye, would you? You mustn't let senior brother Feng Piaoling down. "
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
…
Tightly hugging Xu Jing, Ye Chen discovered that his longing for Xu Jing was real. The two had known each other long before Murong Qingcheng. Apart from Murong Qingcheng, Xu Jing was the one who understood him the most.
Exhaling a breath, Xu Jing said softly, "Junior brother Ye, I thought you would forget me."
"How could that be?"
As time passed, the two's longing for each other became even more intense. Before, the two were quite reserved and didn't do anything out of line. But now, everything was natural.
Ye Chen let go of Xu Jing and carefully sized her up.
After so many years, Xu Jing hadn't changed much. However, between her brows, there was a unique heroic spirit of a woman. What puzzled Ye Chen was that the strength in Xu Jing's body was a bit special. It didn't seem like the strength of a human's body, but rather that of a demonic beast. But, there was also a huge difference between it and ordinary demonic beasts. As the two approached each other, the dragon power in Ye Chen's body started to stir.
Xu Jing seemed to have noticed something in Ye Chen, "Junior brother Ye, I'm actually not a human!"
"I should have guessed a little."
Ye Chen had heard Xu Jing talk about her life before. She said that her first memory was from the age of ten. Before that, it was a blank. After that, Dragon King told Ye Chen some things about Xu Jing, so Ye Chen vaguely knew that Xu Jing's background was very special. Now that he saw the changes in Xu Jing, he could more or less guess some things.
"I'm from the dragon race!"
Xu Jing told her secret to Ye Chen.
"Dragon race?" Ye Chen's heart jumped, "Then, the strength in your body is dragon power?"
No wonder he could feel the dragon power in his body becoming restless. The dragon power was also known as the sub dragon power, while the dragon power was the pure power of a giant dragon. It was different from the sub dragon power in that it was of a higher level and more powerful.
"Yes, I'm a Golden Dragon of the dragon race, and the strength I cultivate is Golden Dragon power. Due to some special reasons, I was turned into a human when I was born, and then I fell into a deep sleep. Ten years later, I was found by my adoptive parents and woke up. After that, I grew up like other humans …" Xu Jing said slowly.
"It doesn't matter if you're a human or a Golden Dragon. As long as you're still Senior Sister Xu Jing, it's fine."
Ye Chen didn't feel the slightest bit of rejection in his heart.
Rumble!
They were currently in a huge secret chamber. It was squarish, more than a thousand meters in length, width, and height. A stone tablet suddenly appeared in front of the chamber. Thirty-six names were inscribed on it. Quite a few of the people present had their names on it, but the order of their names was different.
"This is the name list of the previous Life and Death Substitute List."
Someone blurted out.
On the stele, the first and second names belonged to none of the people present. Marquis Sword Star was third, Luo Tiandu was fourth, Young Elephant Lord was fifth, Marquis Sword Realm was sixth, Young Undying Demon Lord was seventh, and Young Snake Lord was ninth. Behind them were Feng Piaoling, Ji Hai Ruo, Qin Tianxiong, Marquis Sword Tyrant, Young Tiger Lord, and the others.
Rumble!
Another stone tablet fell down, but it was blank on top.
Everyone knew about the Life and Death Secret Realm, and they knew that this was a stele with a strange power. As long as one's name was carved on it, it would carry their own life aura. The stele would then rank the participants according to the strength of their life aura. Of course, the first ranking didn't count, and could only be used as a reference.
The first one to leave his name was a young expert from the ocean.
However, as the second and third people went up to leave their names, the first one became the last one, as his life qi was the weakest. As far as Ye Chen knew, this stone stele ranked people according to their cultivation base and life level. For example, if two people were both humans, then the one with the higher cultivation base would naturally have a higher life qi. Similarly, if one was a demonic beast and the other was a human, then under similar cultivation conditions, the demonic beast would usually have a higher life qi.
Soon, more than a dozen people had already left their names.
"Let me try."
Ye Chen walked up and used his finger power to carve his name on the stele.
Swish!
As soon as the two words' Ye Chen 'appeared, he immediately rushed to the first place.
"Eh? Such a high life aura! Among the dozens of people before him, some of them are demonic beasts at the second layer of life-and-death chamber, but their life aura can't even compare to his!" Many people revealed a surprised expression.
Ling Huyi also left his name, but he wasn't even in the top three. After all, he wasn't a demonic beast, and his cultivation base didn't have an advantage.
Next, apart from Young Undying Demon Lord, Marquis Star Sword, and Chu Zhongtian, almost all the young experts left their names. Unfortunately, the first place was still Ye Chen, which puzzled many people. It should be known that Luo Tiandu and Tie Kuangzun were both experts at the third layer of life-and-death chamber. They were all humans, so there was no reason for their life aura to be lower than Ye Chen's.
"This Ye Chen … I'm afraid he's not so simple."
Luo Tiandu said inwardly.
"Damn it! His life aura is actually higher than mine!" Wang Taiyi was annoyed. Previously, killing Ye Chen was as easy as lifting a finger. But now, the latter's life aura was even higher than his. This was unacceptable to him.
"Hmph! He must have cultivated some life-saving method, making his life aura higher than ordinary people's. But, life-saving doesn't count as battle power." Wang Taiyi didn't forget that Ye Chen still had a huge amount of Zhen Yuan crystals on him, which belonged to Blackwater Alliance.
"Marquis Star Sword has gone up. With his cultivation base, he should be the first!"
Under everyone's attentive gazes, Marquis Star Sword left his name.
Swish!
Ranked second!
Marquis Star Sword couldn't surpass Ye Chen.
"Interesting?"
Marquis Star Sword didn't get angry, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
Yan Fengfeng was third, and Divine Shark Princess Sha Ruoqing was fifth. Young experts left their names one after another, but none of them could surpass Ye Chen.
"Haha, let me try!"
Dugu Jue's Dantai Mingyue's ranking wasn't anything special, and Chu Zhongtian, who had the Evil Spirit Body, hadn't tried yet.
This time, Ye Chen's ranking was almost pulled down. Chu Zhongtian's life aura was too powerful, and he almost rushed to the first place several times. However, Ye Chen's life aura was extremely tenacious, and he managed to maintain his position.
Young Snake Lord's injuries had already recovered. He sneered, thinking that he would have no problem taking the first place. After all, his cultivation base wasn't inferior to anyone. He had long since reached the peak of the third layer of Life-and-Death Chamber, and he had half Hydra bloodline.
