Supreme Sword God

Chapter 978: Chapter 977: A Silent Dog Bites

Ye Chen was about to leave the forbidden area of Aurora Island.

Elder Gui stared at Ye Chen and said, ”If your hypothesis is correct and the Ninth Coffin wants to use you for something, then you must be very careful. Take the time to comprehend the true mysteries of Aurora Sword Dao and find a way to counteract the power of the Heaven-Burying Coffin.”

Ye Chen nodded and said, ”Even if my assumption is wrong, the entity inside the Ninth Coffin definitely harbors no goodwill toward me. Let’s just take it step by step.

Brother Gui, weren’t you planning to leave here? Are you really not coming with me?”

Elder Gui: ”That mysterious place you mentioned earlier piqued my interest, but from your recent behavior, I think you’re probably trying to fool me. You’re quite a sly person.”

”Heaven and earth bear witness, Brother Gui, you can go inquire around. Everyone who knows me knows that I, Ye Chen, am honest and sincere...” Ye Chen said with a sincere face.

”Alright, go your way. I have other places to be, but if fate allows, we will meet again.”

Ye Chen still didn’t want to give up such a valuable ally and said, ”Brother Gui, the Heaven-Burying Coffin is terrifying to the extreme. I cannot yet contend with it. If I were to face disaster, who else could bring the light of Aurora Sword Dao into the darkness of the Heaven-Burying Coffin?”

Elder Gui: ”If the Heaven-Burying Coffin truly makes a move against you, there’s nothing I can do. Otherwise, Bai Jiguang wouldn’t have died back then.”

”That’s because, back then, Brother Gui’s power was not enough. But now you’re above the Emperor Realm.”

”You’re wrong. My strength then and my strength now are almost no different.”

Ye Chen: ”...”

In Bai Jiguang’s era, it has been thousands of years...

Elder Gui has made no progress!

”You may go out now.”

Ye Chen: ”...Brother Gui, then please suppress Liu Mubai for me once more, but don’t harm him. I think he’s quite a good guy.”

”Stop pretending. He’s your martial uncle. I overheard your previous sneaky conversation,” Elder Gui said. ”You’re crafty, which is a good thing, because in the Celestial Burial Sea, those who lack guile don’t live long. Bai Jiguang was naive back then, which is why he died.”

Ye Chen: ”...”

To be exposed by Elder Gui.

......

The array on Aurora Island was still being hit powerfully from time to time.

The tendency for the array to break was becoming more obvious.

The Isle Master of Aurora Island, Bai Yi, was growing increasingly anxious.

Suddenly, a figure rushed in front of Bai Yi and said, ”Reporting to the Isle Master, Ye Chen has emerged!”

An excited expression appeared on Bai Yi’s face instantly, and with a flash of his figure, he vanished from his original spot.

Ye Chen, who had just emerged from the forbidden area, was now looking up at the array’s light screen above, which had many cracks.

”Young Master Ye.”

Bai Yi stood in front of Ye Chen and said, ”I heard that you have unlocked the inheritance of Aurora Sword Dao. Have you already comprehended the mysteries of the Aurora Array?”

Ye Chen nodded and said, ”I have some understanding.”

Bai Yi: ”Then I must ask Young Master Ye to unleash the true power of the array to help Aurora Island repel the invading enemies.”

At this moment, the Body Alliance Great Guardian, Bai Kai, flew over.

”Isle Master, though I am part of the Bai Family, there are some things I think you must clarify now.” Bai Kai’s tone carried a hint of coldness.

He had little emotional attachment to Aurora Island, so he remained composed in the face of its crisis.

”Uncle Nine, the priority now is to drive away the people of the Seventy-Two Islands. Whatever it is, we can discuss it later,” Bai Yi said.

Bai Kai: ”Isle Master, why not first bring out the set of holy swords you promised Ye Chen?”

Bai Yi’s expression changed and he said, ”Is Uncle Nine suggesting that I would go back on my word?”

Bai Kai sighed and said, ”I have already looked into it. Aurora Island doesn’t even have a complete set of holy swords.”

Ye Chen’s eyes flashed but his expression remained unchanged as he calmly said, ”Isle Master Bai, let’s put the matter of the holy swords aside for now. I’m not a petty person. Let me first examine the Aurora Array. Once I’m familiar with it, I can then unleash its true power to help defend Aurora Island against its enemies.”

Bai Yi frowned slightly and said, ”Then I must trouble Young Master Ye to do so quickly.”

......

”Ye Chen, are you confident you can activate the Aurora Array?” Taking advantage of Ye Chen’s pretext of researching the array, Bai Kai came over and spoke in a low voice, his expression solemn.

”Has the Great Guardian found something amiss?” Ye Chen asked.

Bai Kai: ”Bai Yi is suspicious.”

Ye Chen: ”I knew it from the moment he appeared. Despite how convincing my act was, he was too enthusiastic.

Later, I encountered some trouble in the forbidden area of Aurora Island, which Bai Yi couldn’t possibly be unaware of, but he didn’t mention it at all just now.

He is deliberately keeping me in suspense, trying to keep me on Aurora Island.

As for the attack from the marauders of the Seventy-Two Islands, that might be a ruse he orchestrated himself to trap me here.”

Bai Kai took a deep breath and said, ”It’s said that Bai Yi stole a divine stone discovered in relics beneath the sea from the people of the Seventy-Two Islands.

But from what my third sister told me, this affair was unknown to practically everyone on Aurora Island. Moreover, the last time Bai Yi left Aurora Island was a year ago, during which everything was peaceful.

When we first arrived on Aurora Island, he immediately claimed there was trouble requiring you to unlock the Aurora Sword Dao legacy to resolve the crisis. This indicates it was all within his expectations, very likely his own doing!

And together with using a set of holy swords as bait to deceive you, it proves he has ulterior motives.

Ye Chen, although I have the Bai Family’s blood running through me, I’m the Body Alliance Great Guardian. The Celestial Cauldron Emperor entrusted me to bring you safely to Aurora Island, and I will do everything to ensure you return safely!”

Ye Chen smiled faintly and said, ”No rush. Let’s see what he’s up to.”

Bai Kai frowned deeply and said, ”He’s clearly not ready yet; this is our best chance to leave. We can’t delay any longer.”

Ye Chen: ”Great Guardian, I’ll first meet with the people of the Seventy-Two Islands.”

Let’s assess the situation first.

Hopefully, my rapport with Old Wang will be useful!

Bai Kai was deeply worried.

A cold, faint smile appeared at the corner of Ye Chen’s lips.

”Dogs that don’t bark bite.”

Isle Master Bai Yi of Aurora Island seems to be quite a ruthless character.

Then let’s see who laughs last!

Half an hour later.

Ye Chen, using the Martial Arts Celestial Eye and the knowledge of the Aurora Sword Dao, discerned the operational patterns of the Aurora Array.

Then, with a thought, the light curtain of the Aurora Array surged violently, and a beam of light shot skyward, with Ye Chen’s figure emerging within it.

The bandits surrounding Aurora Island from the Seventy-Two Islands all erupted into their strongest states.

”Mei the Third Aunt, he’s Ye Chen. Help me capture him immediately, and I, Li Chunfeng, will honor my word: all your captured comrades in the Ten Thousand Islands Sect will be released safely!”

Li Chunfeng’s Divine Soul Body, upon seeing Ye Chen, roared ghastly.

Mei the Third Aunt snorted coldly, ”Shut up!”

Ye Chen looked at Mei the Third Aunt and said calmly, ”I’ve heard of the fame of the Seventy-Two Islands for a long time. Today, I, Ye Mou, with the power of the Aurora Array, wish to spar with Isle Master Mei. Would Isle Master Mei dare to face me?”

Mei the Third Aunt remained unperturbed, saying, ”As you wish!”

In the next moment, Mei the Third Aunt’s figure shot out, wielding her Emperor Realm power to attack Ye Chen.

Ye Chen, controlling the Aurora Array, unleashed a brilliant light engulfing both Mei the Third Aunt and himself.

”Wait!”

”Wait!”

In the area shrouded by light, undetectable by anyone, Ye Chen and Mei the Third Aunt almost shouted the same thing simultaneously!
