Martial Arts are Too Involuted, and If You are Not Careful, You Can Quickly Pass the High Martial Arts

204: The Scarlet Church is dormant, Li Chengfeng’s promiseThe Scarlet Church’s headquarters.

The atmosphere within the entire stronghold was extremely oppressive, making it difficult for people to even breathe.

“So… this operation failed again?”

“And it even cost my Scarlet Church two Envoys?”

The Scarlet Lord’s words made the already oppressive atmosphere even heavier, so much so that even Wang Lang, who was beside him, couldn’t help but lower his head, not daring to meet the Scarlet Lord’s gaze.

The Scarlet Lord’s gaze swept across the round table, looking at the high-ranking members of the Scarlet Church, and suddenly felt a sense of weariness.

Damn it, he was genuinely starting to suspect that the Scarlet Church’s feng shui might be a bit off.

Why had every operation during this period failed?

Each failure resulted in the loss of countless powerful individuals.

The Scarlet Church, compared to its peak, had been weakened by at least a third.

Even the Scarlet Church in Jiangnan Province had been wiped out by the Martial Alliance.

This truly gave the Scarlet Lord a headache.

“Enough, enough!”

Looking at the high-ranking members of the Scarlet Church who had lowered their heads, the Scarlet Lord couldn’t be bothered to say anything more.

“The Scarlet Church will enter a dormant period for now. Without my command, no one is to act on their own, otherwise… kill without mercy!”

The Scarlet Lord waved his hand, ultimately not bothering to say anything further, and completely suppressed the matter.

He dared not undertake any more actions now; if they failed again, their Scarlet Church would be completely unable to function.

They could only temporarily lie dormant and wait for the right moment to rise again.

“Yes!”

The high-ranking members of the Scarlet Church responded one after another… Star River Academy.

After Ye Chen returned from the Cloud Top Space, he went back to the Star River Academy.

Upon seeing Ye Chen safe and sound, Li Chengfeng also breathed a sigh of relief, abandoning the idea of taking his sword to the Martial Alliance Headquarters to chop Yang Tianxing.

“It’s good to have you back! It’s good to have you back!”

Li Chengfeng looked at Ye Chen and only spoke these two sentences.

These simple, ordinary words, however, warmed Ye Chen’s heart.

“There shouldn’t be anything else happening during this time, right?”

Li Chengfeng suddenly said to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow slightly and slowly said, “Didn’t Yang Tianxing say that the Origin Space is about to open? I’m just waiting for the Origin Space to open so I can enter it!”

Li Chengfeng pondered for a moment, then said, “Alright, after the matter of the Origin Space is over, you’ll come with me.”

Listening to Li Chengfeng’s words, Ye Chen felt a bit surprised.

“Old Li, is something the matter?”

Li Chengfeng listened, then fell silent for a moment, not speaking.

This scene made Ye Chen even more curious.

“Tell me, what is it exactly!”

Li Chengfeng remained silent for a long time, finally sitting cross-legged in front of Ye Chen and slowly began, “It’s nothing major, just an agreement between me and another person.”

“The agreed time is almost here, and it’s time to bring this agreement to a conclusion.”

As soon as he said this, Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly. He could clearly see that when Li Chengfeng spoke these words, his gaze actually began to dart away.

It seemed that within this so-called agreement, there was something unpleasant, something that Li Chengfeng was unwilling to recall.

“Old Li, tell me!”

Ye Chen said softly, his gaze fixed on Li Chengfeng.

Li Chengfeng fell silent again, then slowly spoke after a moment.

“My teacher’s name is Kong Xian. You’ve been at the Star River Academy for so long, you should know my teacher’s identity!”

Hearing this, Ye Chen nodded.

The name Kong Xian, let alone within the Star River Academy, was quite famous even throughout the entire Great Xia.

Even when Ye Chen was still at Jiangcheng No. 1 High School, he knew of Kong Xian’s existence during history class.

Figures who appear in history textbooks are, without exception, renowned individuals.

“When Teacher achieved the ninth-rank, he took on the position of Dean of the Star River Academy and recruited a total of two disciples!”

At this moment, Li Chengfeng’s voice slowly rang out.

“One is me, and the other… is my Senior Brother.”

“Senior Brother is more than ten years older than me. Years before my Breakthrough, he was already a ninth-rank powerhouse, and now he is one of the twelve Great Xia Garrison Envoys.”

“He is responsible for garrisoning the southeastern region of Great Xia.”

Ye Chen was surprised to hear this.

This was something Ye Chen had not known.

Li Chengfeng actually had a ninth-rank Garrison Envoy as a Senior Brother?

“And this agreement is the agreement between my Senior Brother and me.”

As Li Chengfeng spoke, a sharp glint gradually appeared in his eyes.

“A… life-and-death agreement.”

Li Chengfeng said softly, then slowly stood up and looked at Ye Chen.

“As for what the agreement is, you’ll know when you come with me then.”

“If I die in the agreement, you just bring my body back and scatter my ashes next to your grand-teacher’s grave!”

After speaking, Li Chengfeng was unwilling to say anything more, and his figure directly disappeared from Ye Chen’s sight.

Ye Chen, however, looked at the spot where Li Chengfeng had left and fell into deep thought.

“A life-and-death agreement?”

“Looking at Old Li’s expression? Could it be that he’s going to fight his Senior Brother to the death? What’s going on? Brothers, yet they have to fight to the death?”

Ye Chen frowned tightly, unable to understand the situation of the agreement between Li Chengfeng and his Senior Brother.

“However… even if Old Li doesn’t say, someone must know. I’ll just ask others!”

Ye Chen’s eyes lit up.

“Anyway, it’s after the Origin Space event. I’ll absorb the spatial power from the Flame Lion first, then go ask. Maybe I can even find a solution!”

“No matter what, even if a Great Xia Garrison Envoy dies, it has nothing to do with me, but… Old Li cannot die.”

Ye Chen said, his expression becoming serious.

Although the time he had spent with Li Chengfeng wasn’t long, Ye Chen kept Li Chengfeng’s kindness towards him in his heart.

For Great Xia, neither Li Chengfeng nor that Garrison Envoy could die.

But for Ye Chen alone… as long as Li Chengfeng didn’t die, everything would be fine.

If Li Chengfeng were to die… a sharp glint flashed in Ye Chen’s eyes.

“No matter what is right or wrong, I only stand with Old Li.”

“Even if… it means being an enemy of a Great Xia Garrison Envoy, I will not hesitate!”

Ye Chen said indifferently.
