Supreme Sword God

Chapter 869 - 868: Negotiation, Supreme Hall

Feng Wuya’s expression remained calm.

He had known Ye Chen definitely wouldn’t show any mercy with his tongue.

Bringing Ye Chen here was to let him vent a bit.

Otherwise, a young man with too much rage bottled up in his heart would easily go down a crooked path.

Qin Chong’s projection shouted furiously, ”Ye Chen, just you wait. Once Original Heaven appoints another Walker of the World, we will definitely tear you to pieces!”

”Sure, once you pick a new Walker of the World, remember to let me know. I’ll go chop him to death.”

Ye Chen said blandly, ”Of course, I don’t mind you coming out yourself. Killing someone too weak is boring. You’re at Great Emperor level, right? You barely count as worth my attention.”

”You...”

”Old thing, don’t you dare get yourself pissed to death. Keep that life of yours so I can be the one to hack it off.”

Qin Chong: ”...What a sharp-tongued little bastard.”

Ye Chen snorted coldly and said, ”Dog, who the hell are you cursing at?”

”You’re the bastard!”

”So, you’re admitting you’re the dog.” Ye Chen sneered.

Qin Chong had always stayed in Original Heaven, seeing himself as lofty, overlooking all living beings. Through endless years he had never encountered this kind of situation. Now, being roasted by Ye Chen, his face turned red and he couldn’t even think of a retort.

”Ye Chen, just you wait. Original Heaven will never let you go!” Qin Chong roared.

”I also won’t let your Original Heaven go.” Ye Chen sneered, then said, ”Oh right, in your Source Pool, do you still have a lot of ancient clan source left?”

At that mention.

Qin Chong’s rage flared even higher.

Off to the side.

Feng Wuya gave a light cough and said, ”Qin Chong, speak. What does Original Heaven want with this old man?”

Qin Chong took several deep breaths to calm the fire in his heart and said, ”Feng Wuya, I’d like to trouble you to bring a message to the Supreme Hall.”

”Say it.”

”The restrictions on Original Heaven should be loosened a little.”

”How do you want them loosened?” Feng Wuya’s expression grew icy.

”The Great Era is descending. Original Heaven should enter the world. We’ve cooperated with the Supreme Hall for countless millennia and done many things for them. The Supreme Hall should give us some freedom by now!”

Feng Wuya snorted coldly and said, ”I can pass your words on to the Supreme Hall, but let’s talk conditions.”

Qin Chong said, ”You speak.”

Feng Wuya said, ”People of Original Heaven are forbidden from stepping into Cangzhou, and you may not instruct anyone else to enter Cangzhou.”

”You want to protect Ye Chen?” Qin Chong snorted coldly and said, ”I can give you my answer right now. Original Heaven must kill Ye Chen, but unrelated people—so long as they don’t interfere again—will absolutely not be implicated.”

”That’s enough.” Ye Chen said.

Not implicating others was already sufficient.

Feng Wuya nodded and continued, ”After the people of Original Heaven come out, they must first exterminate the alien races!”

Qin Chong: ”Feng Wuya, Original Heaven will not get involved in the alien race matter—neither as enemies nor as allies!”

Feng Wuya’s brows furrowed tightly. He pondered for a moment, then said, ”Fine.”

”You’re only helping to relay the message. You can’t keep adding conditions!” Qin Chong said.

Feng Wuya snorted coldly and said, ”Then wait for my news.”

With that, he directly waved his hand and scattered Qin Chong’s projection.

Ye Chen looked at Feng Wuya, saying nothing.

He believed Feng Wuya would explain things to him, otherwise Feng Wuya wouldn’t have let him hear all this.

Feng Wuya fixed his gaze on Ye Chen and said, ”Curious about the Supreme Hall?”

Ye Chen nodded.

”As for where the Supreme Hall came from, I don’t know either.

I am an emissary of the Supreme Hall. Back then, I followed their orders to walk the world and support a force that could bring fortune to the human race.

At that time, I chose the True Martial Hall, which had just started to rise.

And from that moment on, I never returned to the Supreme Hall.

As for Original Heaven, they were actually the first force the Supreme Hall supported.

Unfortunately.

The people of Original Heaven later forgot their place.

Even so, Original Heaven is still subject to some constraints from the Supreme Hall.

For example, people of Original Heaven cannot come out at will. Only a Walker of the World can, and each Walker of the World can only have one Guardian.

Now, the Great Era is descending.

Original Heaven can’t sit still anymore.

And I... just some time ago, received a secret order from the Supreme Hall, telling me to let people of Original Heaven enter the world.

So even if they hadn’t come to me on their own, I would still have to spread this news.”

Ye Chen said, ”Grand Elder, since Original Heaven has forgotten their original purpose, why doesn’t the Supreme Hall just eradicate them?”

Feng Wuya’s expression suddenly became much more solemn as he said, ”Because you are connected to Original Heaven, I can tell you this. But after you hear what I’m about to say, just keep it in your heart and never bring it up to anyone else.”

”Please speak, Grand Elder.”

”Original Heaven has seized the power of the Celestial Essence Continent. The Supreme Hall could destroy Original Heaven, but once they do, the Celestial Essence Continent would also be destroyed. Now, letting Original Heaven enter the world should be related to this secret as well.”

Ye Chen suddenly thought of the World-Suppressing Celestial Stele Brand in the heavens beyond the sky.

Original Heaven had sent a World-Suppressing Celestial Stele Brand to every heaven beyond the sky, and Master Legs had confirmed that those brands contained a single super grand array.

Could it be that Original Heaven was seizing the Celestial Essence Continent’s power through that grand array?

Feng Wuya’s voice pulled Ye Chen’s thoughts back.

”Right now, the one thing we can be sure of is that Cangzhou is safe. As for you, if you’re willing to stay in the Grand Hall, then Lingxiao and I can keep you perfectly safe!”

Ye Chen said, ”Thank you for your kindness, Grand Elder, but I already have my own plans. I just want to ask, about my Brother Chun—there really is no way?”

Feng Wuya said, ”If he’s willing to stop now, he can definitely be saved. But he’s unwilling, just like you. You can stay in the Grand Hall and be safe, but you’re not willing either.”

Ye Chen said, ”If Original Heaven fully enters the world, even if they don’t cooperate with the alien races, I’m afraid the impact on this world will still be huge.”

Feng Wuya smiled faintly and said, ”The Supreme Hall’s order is for them to enter the world, but they didn’t say how they must enter. I can’t defy the Supreme Hall’s decision, but I can control some aspects of it.”

Ye Chen said, ”Grand Elder, won’t this bring punishment from the Supreme Hall?”

Feng Wuya said, ”The Supreme Hall didn’t give explicit instructions. Perhaps that’s giving me a chance. Letting Original Heaven come out to stir up the situation now actually isn’t entirely a bad thing.

The situation is already chaotic.

If it gets a bit more chaotic, there will be more opportunities.

But to seize those opportunities, the chaos must remain within a controllable range.

So Original Heaven can forget about fully entering the world. In a few days I’ll give them an answer: everyone below the Emperor Realm is allowed to enter the world.

That way, it also gives you a buffer.

After all, your conflict with Original Heaven is already irreconcilable.

Facing Saint Realm experts from Original Heaven is indeed stressful, but with your rate of growth, I believe it won’t be long before it’s no longer a big problem.

I did consider only letting those below the Saint Realm enter the world.

But that’s not realistic. It would likely stir up resentment in Original Heaven, and they might just smash the pot in anger and completely ignore the Supreme Hall’s restraints.

The Supreme Hall itself may also have run into some problems and might not have the spare attention to deal with Original Heaven right now.”

”Grand Elder, you don’t need to explain so much. I actually understand.” Ye Chen said.

Feng Wuya smiled and said, ”I’m just afraid you won’t understand. Better to let you remember more of this favor so things are easier to handle in the future.”

”I know clearly who treats me well and who treats me badly.”

Feng Wuya nodded and said, ”Right, where did you send Feng Kuang and the others? According to the reports I’ve received, that whole group vanished from Cangzhou.”

Ye Chen thought for a moment and said, ”They went to the heaven beyond the sky of the Celestial Eye Three Races.”

Feng Wuya’s expression changed. ”What did you plan to do?”

Ye Chen said, ”It’s already done.”

Feng Wuya: ???

Ye Chen said, ”In the heavens beyond the sky, we exterminated the Celestial Eye, Iron Armor, and Green Ghost Three Races, and we formed an Asura Army there as well. Grand Elder, I haven’t even told Grand Hall Master Lingxiao about this. You must keep it a secret for me.”

The reason he told Feng Wuya was partly because of Feng Kuang, and partly because he wanted to secure a fallback route for the Asura Army.

If something happened to the Asura Army, they would need Feng Wuya to cover for them.

Feng Wuya’s head was still a bit muddled at this moment.

Cangzhou... had actually done such a huge thing without anyone knowing...

Ye Chen said, ”Grand Elder, I’ve come to the Grand Hall and gotten the answer I wanted. I have to go.”

”I’ll see you off.”

”No need to trouble yourself.”

Feng Wuya said, ”You just don’t want me to know where you’re going, do you.”

Ye Chen: ”...”

”Come, the journey to the Celestial Burial Sea is long. I’ll help you save some time.”

Ye Chen said, ”...How did you know, Grand Elder?”

Feng Wuya said, ”Ever since I learned of your connection to Original Heaven, I investigated. Your mother Yun Ying is still trapped in the Celestial Burial Sea.”

Ye Chen cupped his fists toward Feng Wuya and said, ”Then I’ll trouble you, Grand Elder.”

”Let’s go.”

As Feng Wuya’s words fell, a surge of power wrapped around Ye Chen’s entire body. In the next instant, the two of them were already deep in the void, rushing toward the Celestial Burial Sea at extreme speed!
