Supreme Sword God

Chapter 505: Chapter 504: The Scheming Old Man

The next day.

Tian Bugui returned to the True Martial Hall, covered in the stench of blood, and hurriedly sought out Su Yun.

Su Yun looked at Tian Bugui with a look of disdain.

Tian Bugui didn’t mind, as he was long used to Su Yun’s disdainful looks, and said, ”I have something important to tell you. Want to know?”

Su Yun said, ”Speak!”

Tian Bugui raised his hand with a wave, and his golden bell appeared.

Under his control, the golden bell was only the size of a palm.

Tian Bugui said, ”That kid Ye Chen used my golden bell!”

Su Yun said, ”He can’t activate it, can he...”

Tian Bugui said, ”I’m not sure how he activated it, but I am certain he used my golden bell against the Demon Race!”

Su Yun frowned and said, ”He’s been missing for half a month. He might have encountered the Demon Race somewhere. Recently, there was chaos between the Demon Race and the three major alien races. Some of the Demon Race guys broke through the blockade. Although there was a subsequent purge, it wouldn’t be surprising if some slipped through the net.”

Tian Bugui said, ”What if he used the golden bell against the Demon Race’s Prince Moss?”

”Are you sure?” Su Yun’s expression changed dramatically!

Tian Bugui said, ”Moss, that bastard, tricked me once before. It’s impossible for me to be wrong.”

Su Yun said, ”How did you figure that out?”

”You all think my golden bell is just for smashing people, but there’s a secret I haven’t told you. My golden bell can actually capture a part of the aura.

My plan was to capture the aura, lock onto the target with it, and then when thrown, it would have a higher hit rate...”

Su Yun didn’t have time to listen to Tian Bugui’s nonsense and interrupted immediately, ”We all saw that Demon Race’s Moss in the Soul-breaking Gorge back then. He went to the outer heavens with the three major alien races!

If that rascal Ye Chen fought Moss, does it mean he also went to the outer heavens?!”

Tian Bugui: ”...”

He really hadn’t thought about it that much; he just figured Moss might have returned from the outer heavens, and the True Martial Hall didn’t detect any fluctuation of the heavenly gate...

Su Yun continued, ”So Lin Wen might actually still be alive, but he may not have gone back to his family. Perhaps Ye Chen met Lin Wen in the outer heavens!

Also, when the three major alien races descended upon the Soul-breaking Gorge before, they were looking for some lost item. And you and I both know, even if Ye Chen won’t admit it, that item is surely with him.

In other words, that item is most likely a special heavenly gate that allows free access to the outer heavens. Otherwise, if Ye Chen had disappeared for half a month, it wouldn’t have been that simple; a round trip would take at least a month.

And last time, Ye Chen also disappeared for a while, and then he suddenly appeared in the Misty Swamp. Maybe he just came out of the outer heavens, otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence... no one else discovered the alien and Demon Races, and he took them all out by himself...”

Su Yun analyzed.

Tian Bugui was left dumbfounded by what he heard.

How come he didn’t think of this?

”Su Yun, you’re quite smart, huh!” Tian Bugui exclaimed.

”It’s you who’s dull-witted!” Su Yun said irritably, ”If this is true, his situation is extremely dangerous. If anyone finds out, it won’t just be the Blood Robe Tower taking action!”

”You mean the spies planted by the alien races would also take action?” Tian Bugui muttered.

Su Yun responded with a sound of agreement.

Tian Bugui said, ”Isn’t that great? We were just worrying about not knowing who those guys are. If they reveal themselves, we can catch them all!”

Su Yun almost wanted to whip Tian Bugui to death and said, ”What nonsense! Who are those people? Who should you guard against? Who can you trust? When will they act? How will they act? Do you plan to fish in murky waters without knowing anything? You might as well want to kill Ye Chen.”

Tian Bugui: ”...”

”Let’s wait and see.” At this moment, a voice sounded.

The old man Shi Fengchun appeared beside Su Yun and Tian Bugui.

The two: ”...”

Shi Fengchun said, ”I accidentally overheard the last time you two discussed the matter of the lost item from the alien races. I’ve also observed, and it’s indeed possible that Ye Chen has gone to the outer heavens.”

Su Yun looked at Shi Fengchun without saying a word.

Shi Fengchun chuckled and said, ”Have you never suspected Ye Chen?”

Tian Bugui said, ”Hall Master, don’t say such things recklessly. Based on everything Ye Chen has done, I completely trust him!”

Su Yun said, ”If the Hall Master wants to suspect Ye Chen, then I might as well take him to the Celestial Mountain Sect!”

Shi Fengchun still maintained his smiling expression and said, ”Rest assured, I trust him even more than you do. We have people on the other side of the outer heavens, and quite a number of them too.

In fact, I’ve been contemplating how to rescue them, but couldn’t find a way. Now, a breakthrough has appeared with Ye Chen!”

Tian Bugui and Su Yun were taken aback.

There are many of our people in the outer heavens?

Su Yun said, ”Are you saying that many people captured by the three major alien races are actually alive?”

Shi Fengchun nodded and said, ”Some are hanging on, holding a piece of survival ground, but they’re barely living. Yet Ye Chen’s visit to the outer heavens changed the situation dramatically.

With Ye Chen’s addition,

The struggling human warriors in the outer heavens now have hope.

Moreover, the three major alien races have suffered a major blow!

The alliance between the alien and Demon Race is no longer a threat, as it has already been dismantled by Ye Chen!”

Tian Bugui and Su Yun were utterly confused.

What’s going on?

How does Shi Fengchun know so much?!

What exactly did Ye Chen do?!

Shi Fengchun laughed and said, ”In the future, give Ye Chen more resources. He’s really in need; he has thousands to support.”

Suddenly, Su Yun understood Ye Chen...

Ye Chen, with his secret identity as Celestial Master Chen, would even take some magical artifact fragments while cleaning up the battlefield... she once thought Ye Chen was pretending to be poor...

At this moment, Su Yun was deeply remorseful for misunderstanding Ye Chen!

Such a good kid, bearing so much on his own, yet she deliberately tried to expose him with her presumption...

Tian Bugui said, ”Hall Master, does this mean you have arrangements in the outer heavens too? If so, why not have a good talk with Ye Chen? Wouldn’t it be better if you two join hands?!”

”The time hasn’t come yet!” Shi Fengchun said, ”In the True Martial Hall, Ye Chen trusts you two the most, which is why I’ve decided to tell you about these matters. It also allows you to make some special arrangements for Ye Chen’s movements in the future.

What I’ve told you must not be mentioned to others, not even to some of the highly respected people within the True Martial Hall, do you understand?”

Shi Fengchun’s smiling expression was gone, and he wore an extremely serious expression, his tone exceedingly grave!

The two nodded.

Shi Fengchun acknowledged with a sound and said, ”Remember, remind him to practice in the Grotto Heaven more often. The Grotto Heaven is close to destruction, and only Ye Chen’s power can repair it.”

After leaving these words, Shi Fengchun’s figure disappeared, leaving the dumbfounded Tian Bugui and Su Yun behind.

After a long while, Tian Bugui said, ”Why do I feel... this kid Ye Chen is far more formidable than me...”

Su Yun said, ”No need to feel; it’s true!”

Tian Bugui continued with his sentiments, ”The Hall Master doesn’t seem so muddled after all; his depths run deep too!”

Su Yun no longer wanted to bother with Tian Bugui.

Among the strong of the True Martial Hall, perhaps only Tian Bugui always thought that Hall Master Shi Fengchun was a confused old man.
