A moment later, Yan Nanfei's lips quivered. He said while shaking, "Bai Zhanyuan died just like that?"
The four of them together with Yang Junlin, who ranked No. 2 on the Heaven Leaderboard, were no match for Bai Zhanyuan. However, Ye Chen had killed him!
"Dead … dead!"
Yang Junlin looked horrified. He lifted his head slowly and glared at Ye Chen.
At this moment.
Everyone looked at the skinny figure who stood in the air like a god. Their eyes were filled with respect.
The No. 2 on the Heaven Leaderboard, Yang Junlin, took a deep breath in and clasped his fists at Ye Chen. He enunciated word for word, "From now on, Mad Southern Ye will be No. 1 on the Heaven Leaderboard and No. 1 in China. Greetings, venerable!"
Ye Chen had killed Bai Zhanyuan who was a half-step martial venerable. His ability was on par with a martial venerable, so it was not an exaggeration to call him a venerable.
"Greetings, Supreme Master!"
Yan Nanfei, Han Qinhu, Li Yunxiao, and Pang Yuanqing clasped their fists together with solemn expressions.
At this point, apart from those who were dead, everyone on the Heaven Leaderboard acknowledged Ye Chen's No. 1 position from the bottom of their hearts.
As their voices fell.
An orderly and powerful thunderous roar immediately erupted from the ground, "Greetings, Supreme Master!"
Inside the pub.
The thunderous cheers of the crowd shook Pang Feiyan's mind, and she could only stare blankly at the figure in the sky.
"Sovereign …" Pang Hao was extremely excited.
No one understood the meaning of the word supreme. It meant that from now on, Mad Southern Ye would represent the Chinese Martial Dao World, the Heaven Leaderboard's legend, and the entire China!
Of course, it was just a title. It did not mean that everyone was Ye Chen's subordinate, but it was enough!
In the sky, Ye Chen's expression remained the same. He did not care about the people's cries. After all, the word 'paragon' was never as meaningful as' natural enemy '.
After putting the Almighty Killer Sword away, he stepped on the air and landed on the ground with his hands behind his back. He looked at Bai Zhanyuan's left arm that he had severed with his sword. It was still holding the red spear at the moment.
Ye Chen extended his hand and waved. He picked it up and looked at it carefully. He could not help but reveal a thoughtful expression on his face. Subsequently, he relaxed his brows.
He realized that the so-called half-spiritual weapon was actually a demonic snake that Bai Zhanyuan had killed somewhere. He then refined the snake's body and other metals into a weapon. Moreover, he nourished it with his True Qi day and night. It was considered a top-notch weapon.
However, it was different from a cultivator's Artifact. The so-called Artifact could only be activated with magic power. Moreover, when the Artifact was being refined, it had to be inscribed with talismans.
After putting the red spear into his storage ring, Ye Chen ignored the people's surprised stares and walked into the tavern directly.
As soon as he entered, the people in the tavern could not help but stand up subconsciously with nervous expressions.
Especially the bald burly man who said he had seen him before. He knelt on the ground with a thud. "Greetings … Greetings, Supreme Master!"
Ye Chen smiled and lifted his eyes to look at Pang Feiyan and the rest.
"Ye …"
Pang Feiyan moved her lips and was about to say something.
However, Ye Chen sat down and smiled calmly at Pang Hao. "Brother Pang, is the wine warm?"
"N-no, it's not hot yet. Please wait!"
Pang Hao was stunned. He picked up the pot of Erguotou that he had never touched before and began heating it while blushing. His movements were clumsy. He had been watching the duo's battle earlier, so he did not think about heating the wine at all.
Pang Feiyan's beautiful eyes dimmed. She, who was originally cunning and shrewish, did not have the courage to say anything when she faced Ye Chen again.
The quiet lady, Shu Wenqian, felt the same.
"Let me do it!"
Ye Chen took the pot of Erguotou over while smiling. A ball of flame appeared in his palm and the aroma of wine filled the pot directly.
Everyone almost screamed in shock upon seeing that.
Ye Chen lifted his head and took a sip. He said while laughing out loud, "I have a pot of wine that's enough to comfort the traveler. The four of you, come down and have a drink with us!"
His voice fell.
Four silhouettes flashed in the hotel. They were Li Yunxiao, Han Qinhu, Pang Yuanqing, Yang Junlin, and the rest. The four of them had complicated expressions on their faces. They seemed to have yet to snap back to their senses from the shocking battle earlier.
Ye Chen poured four bowls of wine and waved his arm. The four bowls of wine hovered before the four of them out of thin air. "Speaking of which, I'm the reason why all of this happened today. I, Ye Chen, shall apologize to all of you today!"
Bai Zhanyuan's target was him. In the end, Bai Zhanyuan released his aura in a domineering manner above Beijing and angered the few masters. If Bai Zhanyuan had kept a low profile and gone to look for Ye Chen, none of that would have happened.
The four of them took the wine before them and took a sip. They then sat down with a smile on their faces.
"There are indeed talented people in every generation. Each of them is outstanding for hundreds of years!"
Han Qinhu, who was the oldest, sighed. He was an extremely conceited person, especially when he was young. He had fought three people on his own and created countless legends.
However, it was nothing before him now.
Li Yunxiao laughed out loud and said, "Old Han, we're all old!"
Yan Nanfei poured a bowl of wine and toasted Ye Chen. "Venerable Ye, this is a toast to you. Thank you for killing Barton in our country's sea area back then. You've brought glory to our country!"
One could say that Yan Nanfei liked Ye Chen the most among the few masters present. The reason was that Ye Chen had killed Barton when he was chasing after Western Overlord Liu.
Yan Nanfei was a soldier. A soldier's responsibility was to protect the country and the land. Ye Chen had done what he should do for him, so how could he not be grateful?
"You're welcome!"
Ye Chen clinked his bowl with him and smiled calmly. "Although I, Ye Chen, am arrogant, it doesn't mean that I'll look down on the country's dignity."
"That's right!"
Han Qinhu nodded. "Venerable Ye, you've brought glory to our country by saying, 'Those who offend our country will be killed no matter how far away you are.' You've brought glory to our country, so I'll toast to you too."
…
Soon, the few of them got to know each other. The rest could only watch the bosses drinking in fear, not daring to make any noise.
Yang Junlin glanced at Ye Chen and said hesitantly, "May I ask if you're a Martial Dao venerable now, Venerable Ye?"
The rest could not help but look at Ye Chen after hearing that.
"What's a Martial Dao venerable?" Ye Chen asked.
Yang Junlin could not help but look at him in extreme shock. He said, "The ancient martial path is divided into acquired stage and innate stage. The innate stage is what people call a Martial Dao master. Legend has it that there's another stage above the innate stage, which is Martial Dao venerable!"
He paused as he spoke to this point and proceeded to say, "It's said that one can control heaven and earth power after reaching the Martial Dao venerable stage. Bai Zhanyuan was a half-step venerable earlier, so he could control some dimensional force."
Ye Chen understood what he meant after hearing that. He shook his head lightly and said, "I'm not a Martial Dao venerable!"
Yang Junlin could not help but look disappointed as soon as he said that.
If Ye Chen was a Martial Dao venerable, he might be able to give him some pointers. Unfortunately, he was not.
"Then, how did you defeat Bai Zhanyuan and possess a half-spiritual weapon?"
He did not want to give up.
Ye Chen smiled calmly. "To be exact, I'm not an ancient martial artist. I'm an energy refinement cultivator."
"Energy refinement cultivator?"
Yang Junlin was stunned at first, then he turned his head to look at Yan Nanfei and the rest. The few of them thought about it and shook their heads in a blur one after another, indicating that they had never heard of that before.
"Forget it. We're overthinking," Han Qinhu said while shaking his head.
If a Martial Dao venerable appeared in China, it would definitely lead the Martial Dao World in China to prosper.
Seeing that the few of them stopped asking, Ye Chen asked, "What did Bai Zhanyuan mean by Shang Santian before he died?"
