Ye Chen and Xiao Hei were travel-worn.
In order to increase its speed, Blackie revealed its true form. It was a black flood dragon that was over sixty feet long. Coupled with its ferocious aura, it caused the expressions of many people along the way to change.
Half a day later, the two of them saw the nearest city in the distance. Transforming into human form, Xiao Hei gazed at the city in the distance. "Master, Dusk Province is right below us!"
The Central Plains was so vast that it was incomparable to the Eastern Barren Territory and the Northern Region. No one knew how big the Central Plains was. They only knew that mortals couldn't cover all of it in their lifetime.
Just the northern region alone had 13 states.
Ye Chen stood in the clouds and looked into the distance at the endless city. His eyes flickered as he said, "You said that the Jade-Lake Sacred Land is in Chi State, one of the 13 states, right?"
"That's right. Apart from the Chi Prefecture, the other twelve prefectures of the Northern Region all have teleportation portals that lead to the Chi Prefecture."
Xiao Hei nodded. "Chi Province is still a long way from here, so there's no need for us to cross several provinces. We might as well teleport from Dusk Province to Chi Province."
"That's not bad. Let's go down."
Ye Chen nodded lightly. He waved his sleeve and was about to descend with the wind while carrying Xiaohei. At that moment, he seemed to sense something and looked at a certain spot on the ground.
…
Outside Dusk City, in the Blackwater River.
"Am I going to die?"
"Who would've thought that I, Hu Fei, who thought my heart was higher than the heavens and was considered a genius in the clan, would die in the hands of a woman today!"
In the river, a simple and honest young man with a huge rock tied to his body was sinking into the water at an extremely fast speed.
Feeling the increasing pressure in the water, to the point that his eardrums were on the verge of bursting, the young man smiled bitterly. His eyes were filled with unwillingness and hatred.
"Hua hua hua …"
His eardrums ruptured and blood flowed into the water.
At this moment, a huge black shadow attacked from the water. It was like a huge black beast that blotted out the sky and covered the earth. It seemed to have been lured over by the smell of blood.
"Rank 7 Bloodthirsty Beast …"
Seeing this, Hu Fei fell into complete despair, "Qiu Yun, you slut! Not only did you seal my cultivation, you even sprinkled Demon Luring Powder on me and drowned me in the river. Even if I become a ghost, I will not let you go."
The shadow was getting closer and closer, and his consciousness was getting weaker and weaker.
"Roar …"
The black shadow smelled the scent of blood and approached from afar. Then, it opened its bloody mouth and swallowed the former. Its ferocious fangs were suffocating.
Just as its mouth was about to swallow Hu Fei, a large hand suddenly descended from the river and directly crushed it.
An endless amount of blood spread out.
On the surface of the river, Hu Fei shuddered and woke up from his coma. He saw that not only was he not dead, he had regained his mobility and was standing on a cliff.
Xiaohei, who was standing aside, pouted and said to Ye Chen, "Master, he's awake."
Hu Fei only noticed Xiao Hei and Ye Chen after hearing that. He bowed at them immediately. "Thank you for saving my life."
He wasn't a stupid person. He knew very well that unless someone saved him, he would definitely die in that situation.
Little Black chuckled as if he was being unreasonable. "I didn't save you. The one who saved you was my master!"
Hu Fei lifted his head to look at Ye Chen by instinct. He saw a white-haired young man meditating with his legs crossed.
Just when he was about to speak, he saw the young man suddenly open his eyes and look at him quietly with an extremely cold gaze.
At that moment, Hu Fei seemed to have been frozen. He stood still as a buzzing sound rang in his head.
It was a pair of indescribable eyes. They seemed to contain the laws of heaven and earth, as if they could see through heaven and earth with a single glance.
Under the gaze of this pair of eyes, Hu Fei felt as if all the blood in his body was burning. Even his soul felt an incomparably scorching sensation.
Bang, bang, bang … Bang, bang, bang …
Hu Fei felt like his heart could not take it anymore.
Hu Fei snapped back to his senses from the nightmare after Ye Chen looked away. He was extremely exhausted and drenched all over.
Hu Fei took a deep breath in. His body was shaking as he bowed to Ye Chen solemnly with a pale face. "Thank you for saving my life, senior!"
"That's terrifying!"
He was still in shock. One had to know that he was not even 25 years old yet, but his cultivation base was already at peak Martial Ancestor Stage. He was only one step away from entering Martial Saint Stage. Qiandu Chinese Network
With such talent, he would be the top among the younger generation in the clan. Those who were stronger than him were only a handful of fingers.
However, he could not withstand Ye Chen's glare.
Plop!
In the next moment, he dropped to his knees and prostrated himself in an extremely pious manner. "Hu Fei of Dusk Province's Hu Clan greets senior. This junior will never forget your kindness in saving my life. I will definitely avenge you!"
This kind of kneeling posture was something that only he, Hu Fei, had ever done after seeing the Hu Clan's Patriarch for the first time.
However, to Hu Fei, Ye Chen was even more terrifying than the patriarch of the Hu family at that moment. The reason being, he had never felt such a terrifying gaze from the patriarch earlier.
"Get up!"
Ye Chen spoke slowly with a calm gaze, "I only saved you on a whim. There's no need for you to repay me! “
"Alright, you can leave now!"
The reason why he saved Hu Fei was not because he wanted to meddle in other people's business, but because he felt that Hu Fei's experience was somewhat similar to his, so he could not help but save him.
After all, he had also been drowned in the river.
He could feel the fear of death, and he could also feel his own unwillingness from Hu Fei.
Hu Fei struggled when he heard Ye Chen's order to chase him away. He seemed to be unwilling. Then, he gritted his teeth and prostrated himself on the ground again.
"Senior, I'm the youngest disciple of Dusk Province's Hu family. My cultivation base is at peak Martial Ancestor Stage. I beg you to submit to me, senior. “
He said it in an extremely fanatical tone.
He was almost certain that the young man before him was much more powerful than the patriarch of the Hu family.
He had been harmed by a traitor in his clan. If he wanted a chance to take revenge, he would only have a chance by submitting to a powerhouse.
And Ye Chen was the best choice!
If the people of Dusk Province or the Hu family saw this scene, they would definitely be shocked speechless.
One had to know that Hu Fei was known as one of the four geniuses in the Hu family. He was only one step away from becoming a Martial Saint at such a young age. He was also proud and unruly. Now, he actually admired someone so much.
"You want to submit to me?" Ye Chen was surprised.
Hu Fei immediately said respectfully, "Yes, senior. This junior's cultivation base is low, and I know that I'm not qualified to submit to you. However, this junior is sincere. This junior has some status in the Hu family. If senior has any requests, this junior will definitely do his best …"
Ye Chen shook his head lightly.
Xiao Hei grinned and revealed a murderous aura, "My master asked you to leave. Don't you understand?"
Hu Fei's heart sank. Then, he slapped his glabella and forcefully extracted his soul power. He offered it respectfully, "Senior, please give this junior a chance. This junior swears that I will never betray you.
In order to prove my sincerity, this junior is willing to offer the power of my soul!
This junior grew up in Dusk Province since I was young … "
Hu Fei said subconsciously.
"Very good!"
Ye Chen took his soul power and swallowed it. He fused it into his own soul, which meant that he could control his life and death.
Seeing that, Hu Fei did not regret it at all. Instead, he revealed an incomparable fervor and excitement, "Thank you for giving me this chance, my lord! “
Ye Chen went straight to the point, "Do you know about the Jade Lake Sacred Land?"
"The Jade Lake Sacred Land?"
Hu Fei was stunned at first, then he said, "My lord, the Jade Lake Sacred Land is one of the supreme sects in the Northern Region. It's located in Chi Province, one of the 13 states in the Northern Region …"
He slowly told Ye Chen everything he knew and added, "My lord, are you going to the Jade Lake Convention?"
"Jade Lake Convention?"
Ye Chen and Xiao Hei looked at each other. It was the first time they had heard of this.
As if sensing their doubts, Hu Fei immediately said, "My lord, the Jade Lake Convention is organized by the Jade Lake Sacred Land. It's held every hundred years, and a new saintess will be appointed every time. The Jade Lake Convention will be held in three days …"
Through his explanation, Ye Chen came to a realization. It turned out that the Jade Lake Sacred Land had a saint and a saintess. In the Jade Lake Sacred Land, their status was second only to the Holy Lord. Even the elders did not dare to order them.
According to the rules of the Jade Lake Sacred Land, the saint and saintess would be changed every hundred years. When they changed, the Jade Lake Convention would be held and everyone in the world would be invited to witness it.
Hu Fei seemed to have thought of something and said, "By the way, my lord, I heard that the Jade Lake Sacred Land brought back a woman from the outside world. “
