Chapter 831: Chapter 830: [Didn’t Expect It to Save His Life!]

[PS: The second update for today is here. Asking for monthly tickets!!!]

”Tianchen, it’s Tianchen who came out, Tianchen is alive and back!” Zhang Ruotong could no longer control her emotions and ran toward the entrance of the bronze door.

Tianshuang was also stunned, experiencing a moment from life to death, from despair to hope, all in an instant, anyone would be momentarily confused and unable to react.

The two child disciples also wiped the tears from their little faces, showing smiles. They quickly activated their Martial Arts True Power and used the method left by their master, Divine Calculation, to seal the bronze door again, finally breathing a sigh of relief.

However, at the moment Zhang Ruotong reached the figure standing at the entrance of the bronze door, she was sent flying backward, her whole body igniting in flames, shocking Tianshuang to a halt. She quickly performed Divine Arts to extinguish the flames burning Zhang Ruotong, while simultaneously pulling the two child disciples back to her side.

This sudden scene stunned Tianshuang, and the two child disciples also did not react. When they looked at Zhang Ruotong, she was already lying on the ground, her whole body charred and motionless, just like being burned to death. Yet, the figure standing at the entrance of the bronze door was clearly Ye Tianchen’s silhouette.

”Big brother...” the little girl whispered.

”Big brother, why did you...” the little boy started to say.

Before the little boy could finish his sentence, Tianshuang interrupted him, looking coldly at the figure standing at the entrance of the bronze door, and said fiercely, ”You’re not Ye Tianchen, who are you really?”

”He’s already dead. I’ve been cultivating in the Fire Dragon Pond for so many years to come out, it’s truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!” A voice sounded excitedly.

”You are... the Red Lotus Demon?” Tianshuang was taken aback and instinctively protected the two child disciples. Even though she knew, if the Red Lotus Demon had really emerged, her efforts to protect the child disciples would be in vain as their fighting power was nowhere near the same level.

”Are you talking about the Red Lotus Demon Lord? She has not completely transformed into a human form, she just let me out for some fresh air. How would you like to die? Go ahead and speak!”

Gradually, a person entirely engulfed in flames stepped out from the entrance of the bronze door, their appearance indistinguishable, even their eyes were set ablaze. It was unmistakably a Fire Essence with a figure similar to Ye Tianchen, a pair of blazing eyes coldly stared at Tianshuang and the two child disciples, devoid of any emotion, with only a single-minded intent to kill.

”What happened to Tianchen, Tianchen he...” Zhang Ruotong struggled to get up, her entire body scorched, painfully asked.

”Hmm? Such a powerful healing ability, not dead even after being hit by my flames?” The Fire Essence glanced at Zhang Ruotong and exclaimed in surprise.

Tianshuang, Zhang Ruotong, and the two child disciples all felt their spirits plunge into the abyss, like falling into a bottomless pit. They had thought Ye Tianchen had burst out at the last moment, but it turned out not to be Ye Tianchen, but a Fire Essence from the Fire Dragon Pond, and now the bronze door had closed, giving Ye Tianchen no chance to come out again.

Swoosh!

Tianshuang made a move, striking towards the Fire Essence with a palm, simultaneously unleashing a surge of Martial Arts True Power to sweep Zhang Ruotong to her side. With one heavily injured Zhang Ruotong and two child disciples, she quickly fled towards the exit of the passage.

Bang!

Unfortunately, just as Tianshuang brought Zhang Ruotong to her side and hadn’t started running, a Wall of Fire blocked their path. An Ice Blade appeared in Tianshuang’s hand, slashing out two extremely cold Sword Qis, but they were all melted by the Wall of Fire, startling her. This Ice Blade, combined with her Ice Cold Palm, could freeze and shatter everything, even cold steel and hard stones, yet the Wall of Fire remained unmoved.

”Not a bad Sword Qi, quite cold indeed, but you forgot one thing. I am a Fire Essence cultivated in the Fire Dragon Pond. The Red Lotus Karma Fire in the Fire Dragon Pond is fire that can burn everything in the world, between Divine Fire and Demon Fire, beyond anyone’s resistance, so just obediently die!” The Fire Essence, engulfed in intense flames, slowly approached Tianshuang and the four others including Zhang Ruotong.

Tianshuang tightly protected the two child disciples behind her. They are the future hope of the Heavenly Number Mysterious Sect, the only hope for the future. Her own death didn’t matter, but she couldn’t let the inheritance of the Heavenly Number Mysterious Sect be extinguished, couldn’t let her master Divine Calculation weep in the afterlife.

”Die, I still want to see the world outside!”

Crackle!

An incredibly powerful and scorching flame rushed towards Tianshuang and the others. Tianshuang protected the severely injured Zhang Ruotong and two young disciples behind her, standing in front without taking action. She knew that any action would be futile; the levels of combat power were simply not comparable. The Fire Essence was too powerful—flame cultivated into essence over countless millennia; just thinking about it was terrifying.

After unleashing a flame, the Fire Essence had a completely indifferent expression. In its eyes, these beings were nothing but ants, killed effortlessly, there was nothing more to say.

Bang!

A loud explosion resonated. At the critical juncture, the flame heading towards Tianshuang and others was dispersed. Meanwhile, the Holy Heaven Prison appeared above the Fire Essence.

”Capture!”

A loud shout, and no matter how the Fire Essence struggled, the Holy Heaven Prison trapped it inside. The fire wall behind Tianshuang, Zhang Ruotong, and the two young disciples also vanished. Simultaneously, Ye Tianchen appeared in front of them, covered in blood, with wounds all over his body from which blood dripped continuously. Yet he smiled and said, ”Sorry for worrying you all!”

”You... Tianchen!” Zhang Ruotong was stunned and only came to her senses after a long while, biting her lip and crying.

”You... are you alright?” Tianshuang’s thoughts were complicated, and she eventually asked with concern.

”Big Brother...”

”Big Brother...”

The two innocent young disciples rushed towards Ye Tianchen. Ye Tianchen picked them up, disregarding his injuries, walked over to Tianshuang and Zhang Ruotong, smiling and said, ”Two beautiful ladies, seeing me like this now, shouldn’t we leave first before getting emotional?”

Ye Tianchen narrowly escaped death, and Tianshuang, Zhang Ruotong, along with the two young disciples were filled with mixed emotions, from hope to despair, then back to hope. The near-death experience left them speechless, combined with Ye Tianchen’s severe injuries, although not currently life-threatening, they couldn’t afford any delay and needed immediate healing.

After escaping with his life, Ye Tianchen couldn’t believe he survived. Remembering the dangerous moment, he broke out in cold sweat; it was truly shocking. After leaving the tunnel, Ye Tianchen sat cross-legged on the platform to heal, Tianshuang also healed, and Zhang Ruotong did the same, while the two young disciples activated the protective formation of the Heavenly Number Mysterious Sect to guard against potential threats.

This began with Tianshuang divining the Blood Killing Organization and Nine Netherworld. The Blood Killing Organization’s formidable Sword Qi, Nine Netherworld attacked instantly, almost claiming Ye Tianchen’s life, causing Tianshuang to be hit by Nine Netherworld’s Yin Sen Power. If not for the Divine Calculation’s prior arrangements, establishing the Heavenly Number Mysterious Sect right at Fire Dragon Pond with such precise layout, Tianshuang would have been a cold corpse.

About two hours later, Ye Tianchen, Tianshuang, and Zhang Ruotong’s injuries were mostly healed. Full recovery would naturally take more time. Seeing Ye Tianchen, Tianshuang couldn’t help but ask, ”The bronze gate is closed, how did you get out?”

Upon hearing Tianshuang’s question, Zhang Ruotong and the two young disciples also curiously gathered around. Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but recall that thrilling step; it was extremely perilous, nearly costing him his life. Thinking of this, he reached into his bosom and pulled out a blood-stained jade.

This blood-stained jade was given to Ye Tianchen by his grandmother the first time he went to the Luo family. He didn’t know what it was, apart from some blood stains, there was nothing peculiar about it. Ye Tianchen had previously used Divine Sense to explore it, but found no abnormalities. However, just when Ye Tianchen transformed into a Golden Light, rushing recklessly towards the bronze gate, the slender jade hand of the Red Lotus Demon descended, at the moment he was about to be shattered, the blood-stained jade he carried all along shone with unstoppable power, forcefully deflecting the Red Lotus Demon’s arm, leaving her stunned. In that instant, Ye Tianchen burst out of the bronze gate, along with a Fire Essence.

After bursting out of the bronze gate, Ye Tianchen felt himself about to faint, quickly hid in a corner to heal, hoping to regain a bit of combat power, otherwise the Fire Essence wouldn’t have attacked Tianshuang and others. There was no alternative, Ye Tianchen was too heavily injured in the Fire Dragon Pond, managing to escape was a blessing, any combat power was nonexistent. Fortunately, his timely recovery saved Tianshuang, Zhang Ruotong, and the two young disciples from the Fire Essence’s attack.

”If it wasn’t for this half-piece blood-stained jade, I would’ve been dead for sure!”

Ye Tianchen looked at the half-piece blood-stained jade in his hand, and couldn’t help but frown. The day he received it from his grandmother along with a string of Buddha Beads. The Buddha Beads granted Ye Tianchen the inheritance of Yijin Jing, but what’s the origin of this half-piece blood-stained jade? These seemingly inconspicuous items, the Buddha Beads brought Ye Tianchen great rewards and surprises, what about this blood-stained jade? Ye Tianchen definitely didn’t believe it was mortal class, able to repel even the Red Lotus Demon comparable to the Demon of Sun Never Sets Mountain. What exactly is this blood-stained jade?
