Supreme Sword God

Chapter 498: Chapter 497: After Settling Matters, Su Yun Takes Action!

Blood mist danced in the air.

Ye Chen landed gracefully, and the Little Phoenix, exhausted and shrunken, perched onto Ye Chen’s shoulder.

”Big brother, I’ve also defeated a Heaven-Reaching Realm expert before!” Even though the Little Phoenix had expended too much energy, its tone was still filled with excitement and thrill!

Ye Chen simply replied with a grunt.

Defeating a heavily injured and dying Heaven-Reaching Realm expert was still quite difficult.

Moreover, Lv Baishuang was considered an inferior Heaven-Reaching Realm expert.

Just a mere city lord, not very powerful.

It seemed that Ye Chen managed to defeat the Demon Race’s prince Moss with ease compared to the state Lv Baishuang was in, but in truth, a dying Lv Baishuang was several times stronger than Moss!

The main reason was that this time, Ye Chen had the Little Phoenix’s help.

Additionally, Ye Chen’s cultivation had increased by two minor realms compared to when he took down Moss.

The significant improvement in the instant void swordsmanship was also crucial.

Ye Chen did not feel proud or conceited after slaying Lv Baishuang, as he was always aware of his own capabilities.

When he could face a fully capable Heaven-Reaching Realm expert head-on without external help, that would truly be worth celebrating!

Ye Chen glanced at the unconscious individuals on the ground, thinking, if only Qingqing were here, she could heal them and collect a hefty fee for it.

He was ultimately a kind-hearted person.

So, Ye Chen stepped forward, took their storage rings, and silently turned away.

After all, there was no emotional bond.

Plus, he had just saved their lives.

Was it necessary to wake them up and have them be grateful to him?

No need.

A bunch of fools, items inside the storage rings were more valuable.

......

The next day, early morning.

Frost City was in an uproar!

Ye Chen returned to Frost City and announced the news, initially nobody believed it.

Then Ye Chen forcibly gathered people and searched Lv Baishuang’s room, discovering a secret chamber.

Inside the chamber, numerous young people were imprisoned.

These young individuals were used by Lv Baishuang as blood sacrifices for healing and cultivation...

Once the incident regarding Lv Baishuang’s imprisonment was revealed, no one questioned it anymore.

Ye Chen also smoothly received some gratitude from Frost City.

Ye Chen never hesitated to take what was rightfully his, he couldn’t let this journey be for nothing!

He had to support the thousands in his jurisdiction, so he had to be resourceful.

Led by Zhang Cuihua, others also returned to Frost City.

Upon hearing of Lv Baishuang’s demise, they were all incredibly shocked!

They had been tricked the previous day, not even seeing Lv Baishuang before falling unconscious... waking up this morning, each wore a post-crisis expression, thinking they’d drop the matter and bid farewell to Lv Baishuang.

But then...

Lv Baishuang was the mastermind?!

Suddenly, everyone was dumbfounded!

All this time, they’d been played by Lv Baishuang!

Outside Frost City.

Ye Chen left alone.

”Ye Chen, halt!”

Zhang Cuihua led a group and rushed over.

Ye Chen looked at this bunch, saying nothing.

Zhang Cuihua said, ”Ye Chen, you claim you discovered the truth, then you must have gone to that forest last night. Lv Baishuang is dead, but what about our storage rings?! Did you take them?”

Ye Chen replied, ”Do you think I could kill Lv Baishuang? An expert appeared yesterday, that expert acted to get rid of Lv Baishuang.

The expert’s disciple was an interesting person, your storage rings were taken by the expert’s disciple.

You suspect me?

My storage ring was taken too.

But I was luckier, I went to Frost City and exposed Lv Baishuang, receiving some compensation, so I didn’t lose miserably!”

Ye Chen casually made up a reason, reinforcing his belief that yesterday’s decision was right.

This group, foolish and arrogant, are not the kind to associate with!

”Ye Chen, I don’t believe you, take out your storage ring and let us inspect it!” Someone shouted.

Ye Chen sneered dismissively, saying, ”Who do you think you are?”

As he spoke, a powerful aura surged from Ye Chen, intimidating the group, blanching their faces.

The person demanding to inspect Ye Chen’s storage ring trembled all over, almost forgetting that Ye Chen was a fierce one capable of striking Liu Meng heavily wounded!

Ye Chen said, ”I have matters to attend to, our True Martial Hall’s seniors are waiting for me elsewhere to regroup. Delay me further at your own risk!”

With those words, Ye Chen turned and left.

Zhang Cuihua and others dared not follow.

Ye Chen’s perception of these people worsened yet again, not just foolish and arrogant, but also cowards!

Dealing with such individuals won’t yield good results, considering this, Ye Chen felt yesterday’s choices were indeed wise!

......

True Martial Hall, Bright Hall.

Xu Ziliu from Celestial Mountain Sect lingered for a long time and finally saw his aunt, Su Yun.

”Auntie... long time no see, I’ve missed you so much!” Xu Ziliu said cheekily.

Su Yun maintained a cold demeanor; they didn’t share the same surname, but he truly was her nephew!

But she didn’t like him regardless.

Compared to Ye Chen, he fell far too short.

Ye Chen was much better!

That bastard Tian Bugui lost Ye Chen, and he’d been missing for over half a month with no news! Blood Robe Tower issued a Silver Assassination Token against Ye Chen... if Blood Robe Tower finds Ye Chen, it would be troubling...

Unconsciously, a murderous aura emanated from Su Yun!

She wanted to kill that fool Tian Bugui and then find the Blood Robe Tower’s headquarters and wipe them out!

Xu Ziliu suddenly retracted his neck, a bit scared.

”Why aren’t you staying at Celestial Mountain Sect to cultivate, what are you doing out here?” Su Yun said irritably.

”Auntie, I’m going to experience the world!” Hearing this, Xu Ziliu’s expression immediately brightened.

Su Yun chuckled, ”With a Celestial Mountain Sect elder protecting you, what sort of world are you experiencing?”

Xu Ziliu: ”...”

”Auntie, why don’t you send the elder back? I don’t want this, but my dad insists on having an elder with me.”

Su Yun said, ”Your dad’s a stubborn old man, I can’t convince him.”

”Auntie, you share the same surname with Grandma, Grandma listens to you, Dad fears Grandma...” Xu Ziliu muttered.

Su Yun said, ”Forget it, better to have someone protect you, prioritize safety.”

”Auntie, being in Bright Hall isn’t safe enough?” Xu Ziliu said.

Su Yun: ”You want to stay in Bright Hall?”

”Of course, Ye Chen and I hit it off at first sight, I want to follow him!” Xu Ziliu said naturally.

Su Yun’s expression suddenly turned tense.

”You’ve met Ye Chen?”

”That’s right!” Xu Ziliu said, ”I even sparred with him... Ye Chen deserves to be called a genius; he ended up fighting me to a draw, so we really admired each other, regretting meeting too late...”

Before Xu Ziliu could finish, Su Yun interrupted, ”When did you meet Ye Chen? Where did you meet him?”

”Yesterday morning... near Frost City...” Xu Ziliu felt his aunt seemed somewhat abnormal.

As soon as Xu Ziliu said this.

Su Yun quickly dashed out, a gust of wind sheared past, flinging Xu Ziliu away.

This silly nephew was nowhere near as important as her little Ye Chen!
