Supreme Sword God

Chapter 120: Chapter 119: Devouring Technique Sword, Fusion!

Ye Chen followed Qu Xiao back to the Commandery Governor’s Mansion.

Qu Xiao thought it over and decided to divulge some matters, saying, ”It’s fortunate you didn’t intend to kill Liu Chuanfeng earlier, otherwise Pavilion Master Chu would definitely have intervened.”

Ye Chen smiled faintly and said, ”I understand. Since the moment I started holding the Wuchen Sword, the array in the Celestial Soldier Pavilion’s area was already activated by a hidden force. Our every move is being watched.”

Qu Xiao: ”...”

She knew because she had some understanding of the Pavilion Master Chu Yang of the Celestial Soldier Pavilion.

But Ye Chen... actually managed to detect some of Pavilion Master Chu Yang’s actions!

How strong must Ye Chen’s spiritual power be to sense these things?

”Ye Chen, have you condensed a spiritual seal?” Qu Xiao voiced a question she had held back for a long time.

In fact, many people suspected Ye Chen had condensed a spiritual seal. Without a spiritual seal, where does his powerful spiritual power come from?

Yet no one could confirm it.

Because Ye Chen had joined the Cangxing Martial Arts Academy only two months ago, and before that, he knew nothing about Spirit Master cultivation.

Condensing a spiritual seal in two months was indeed incredible.

Especially since... Ye Chen’s spiritual power was so strong, if he really condensed a seal, it would likely be a celestial seal spirit master!

To become a celestial seal spirit master in just two months was even more impossible!

Not only was Qu Xiao’s thinking contradictory about whether Ye Chen had condensed a spiritual seal, but many others felt the same contradiction.

After all, Ye Chen’s spiritual power strength was simply too bizarre!

Faced with Qu Xiao’s question, Ye Chen shook his head with a smile and said, ”I haven’t condensed a spiritual seal, but I’ve already formed eight sets of tier two spirit patterns.”

”...” Qu Xiao: ”If you don’t want to talk about it, just don’t. No need to make random jokes!”

Do you really think I don’t understand the way of Spirit Masters?

To casually make up such things.

Do you think I’m dumb?

Easily fooled?

Ye Chen saw Qu Xiao’s reaction and felt very calm inside.

He knew it would be like this.

No one would believe it anyway.

That’s why he didn’t mind telling the truth.

Whether he told the truth or not, others would consider it lies.

Even his legendary powerhouse master, Yang Tianji, didn’t believe it at first until his spiritual power entered Ye Chen’s sea of consciousness.

”Miss Qu, I should return to Cangxing Martial Arts Academy now,” Ye Chen said.

After resolving a group of people from the Celestial Sword Sect and obtaining a top-grade spiritual sword, Ye Chen was eager to return to the Spiritual Martial System to continue refining his sword body and devouring and merging the Wuchen Sword!

Qu Xiao nodded and said, ”I’ll go make some arrangements and pull a team from the Unparalleled County Defense Army to escort you back.”

”That’s not necessary.”

”You might not need it, but the Governor’s Mansion does!” Qu Xiao said firmly, ”If something happens to you on the way, the Governor’s Mansion will be in trouble!

Don’t assume the Celestial Sword Sect poses no threat to you anymore; who knows if they have powerful people who ignore their agreement with Elder Yang and sneak out. Even if the strong members of the Celestial Sword Sect don’t dare to come out, what about other places, like an assassination organization or some members of the Sect Alliance, they could all possibly take action.”

With Qu Xiao’s explanation, Ye Chen didn’t insist further.

A moment later, Qu Xiao and the Defense Army leader Qin Chong, whom he met yesterday, escorted Ye Chen back to Cangxing Martial Arts Academy with an elite force from the Defense Army.

On the way, Qin Chong spoke a few words to Ye Chen, and the two became somewhat familiar. Then Qin Chong said, ”Young Master Ye, the tier four spirit master Xu Qi, who stopped you at the gate of Unparalleled County not long ago, has already been demoted and transferred to the Demon Suppression Valley. He comes from the Star Spirit System of Cangxing Martial Arts Academy and is also the cousin of Star Martial System instructor Xu Ming.”

Ye Chen looked at Qin Chong, somewhat surprised that Qin Chong would be so candid about Xu Qi’s identity, but he quickly realized that the Governor’s Mansion didn’t want to be his enemy, so they clarified some things to avoid future misunderstandings.

As things became clear, Ye Chen said, ”General Qin, keep an eye on him. If he makes a move again, even if he’s from the Governor’s Mansion, I will kill him.”

Qu Xiao chimed in, ”If he continues to trouble you, you don’t need to act; I’ll take care of it!”

Ye Chen acknowledged with a nod, saying no more.

At the foot of Cangxing Martial Arts Academy.

Qu Xiao and the others were not planning to go up the mountain.

”Ye Chen, I’m going to the Demon Suppression Valley,” Qu Xiao said.

She’s the strongest among the disciples of the Star Martial System and the daughter of the Governor’s Mansion; the battle in the Demon Suppression Valley is a must for her.

Ye Chen nodded and said, ”Be careful.”

Qu Xiao blinked.

This wooden blockhead worries about her?

”If I encounter danger in the Demon Suppression Valley, like your senior brother and sister being poisoned, will you rush to save me?” Qu Xiao didn’t know why she suddenly asked this question.

Ye Chen thought for a moment and seriously answered, ”I don’t know where the Demon Suppression Valley is. By the time word reaches me and I find my way there, it might take too long, and you could already be dead.”

”...” Qu Xiao gritted her teeth and said, ”Don’t you know saying such things isn’t auspicious before setting out on a mission?”

Ye Chen: ”...”

Clearly, you’re the one talking about encountering danger.

”Then I wish Miss Qu all the best, a long life, fortune as vast as the sea, and longevity like the mountains.”

Qu Xiao was almost infuriated.

”I’m leaving. If I encounter danger, it won’t fall on you to save me.”

Qu Xiao turned and left.

Ye Chen watched Qu Xiao’s retreating figure and said, ”If you do face danger, hold on; don’t give up so easily. I might arrive if you hold on a little longer.”

A smile appeared on the corner of Qu Xiao’s mouth, dimples forming. Ye Chen was destined not to see them.

......

Ye Chen ascended to the mountain top.

Along the way, members of the Star Martial System or Star Pill System would greet Ye Chen warmly.

Even those from the Star Spirit System, who were previously hostile toward him, would proactively call out. Even if they didn’t greet him, there was no longer the contempt and hatred from before. The way they looked at Ye Chen was now filled with reflection.

At the Feijian Martial Arts Hall in Unparalleled County, Ye Chen alone turned the tide.

His strength was awe-inspiring.

His sense of responsibility was admirable.

Back at the Spiritual Martial System, he didn’t see Master Yang Tianji, nor were his senior brother and sister there.

Ye Chen guessed that his master was likely in seclusion, helping his senior brother and sister heal, so he returned to his residence, repaired the gate that had been damaged a few days ago, filled in the large pits at the entrance left from fights, and immediately headed back to his room.

To Enter the Sword Tomb!

”Elder Qingyi, I’ve obtained a top-grade spiritual sword. What’s the next step?” Seeing Luo Qingyi, Ye Chen got straight to the point, skipping any prelude.

No need.

They were so familiar.

Luo Qingyi snorted coldly.

This brat used to be polite every time he entered the Sword Tomb in the beginning, but recently he’s always direct!

Luo Qingyi raised her hand and summoned.

The Wuchen Sword in Ye Chen’s hand flew to Luo Qingyi’s hand.

”This top-grade spiritual sword is indeed very good, but it hasn’t reached the pinnacle of top-grade spiritual swords. Do you know why?” Luo Qingyi asked.

”Maybe the artifact-refining skills of Hongchen Grandmaster who forged the Wuchen Sword weren’t strong enough,” Ye Chen said matter-of-factly.

”Nonsense!” Luo Qingyi rebuked sharply, ”This sword was split into two. If it were whole, it would be a lower-grade Dao Sword!”

Ye Chen: ”...”
