Supreme Sword God

Chapter 904: Chapter 903: Recruiting a Little Brother, Natural Sea King

“Are you a Reincarnator too?” The bearded man showed a look of confusion on his face.

Ye Chen snorted coldly and said, “The Power of Reincarnation in me is so strong, can’t you feel it? I’m not only a Reincarnator, but also one of a higher level than you.

Someone of your level dares to target me? If it were in the Reincarnation Divine Palace, one word from me and you’d be beyond salvation.”

Reincarnators, though reborn through reincarnation,

are not necessarily wise across two lifetimes.

Ye Chen had long understood this.

Almost all Reincarnators retain a bit of consciousness and are reborn with their cultivation experiences.

Reincarnators can also have those who aren’t bright.

The one before his eyes, in Ye Chen’s view, belongs to the not-so-sharp category.

In that case, he thought, better to fool him now; it might come in handy later. There’s no need to kill him off at once.

The bearded man displayed a longing expression and said, “So you came from the Reincarnation Divine Palace… I just awakened and haven’t found the Reincarnation Divine Palace, but I heard there are several powerful Reincarnators in the Inner Sea. I thought of seeking them out, hoping they would guide me.”

Ye Chen’s gaze turned cold.

The Celestial Burial Sea resists Reincarnators and parasites. Under such circumstances, Reincarnators who can settle within the Celestial Burial Sea must be incredibly formidable.

Where there are Reincarnators, parasites are sure to gather around.

It’s uncertain how much these reborn old monsters in the Celestial Burial Sea know about the affairs of the Eastern Domain.

If they know extensively, Ye Chen reckons that once he enters the Celestial Burial Sea, peaceful days will be scarce.

No matter how low-key he is, gold always glows brightly…

Ye Chen collected his thoughts, staring at the bearded man, and said, “No need to find other Reincarnators. I’m the Envoy of the Reincarnation Divine Palace here for a major mission in the Celestial Burial Sea. Once the matter is settled, I’ll naturally take you back to the Reincarnation Divine Palace.”

The bearded man pondered for a moment, then asked, “What major mission are you undertaking?”

Ye Chen sneered, “Do you have the right to ask? You’ve just awakened at the Dharma Realm, a mere waste. This isn’t your business. Don’t speak further, or you’ll invite your own death, awakening to nothing and dying before understanding anything.”

Bearded man: “…”

Ye Chen unabashedly continued to rebuke, “This time you tried to attack me, I won’t hold it against you.”

“Envoy Ye… I did not try to attack you…”

Ye Chen shouted in anger, “You attacked my bird, which is tantamount to attacking me. If you dare deny it again, do you believe I won’t execute you on the spot?”

The bearded man was flustered by Ye Chen’s reprimands, feeling a bit awed. Such a domineering envoy from the Reincarnation Divine Palace.

But this is a good thing.

The more domineering he is, the more extraordinary he must be. Following Ye Chen around, his life will get better once going to the Reincarnation Divine Palace.

“Envoy Ye, I…”

Ye Chen glared at him, saying, “What do you mean you? Did I allow you to speak?”

After pausing, Ye Chen asked, “What’s your name?”

Bearded man: “… Envoy Ye, I wanted to tell you earlier, but you didn’t let me.”

Ye Chen: “… So you’re blaming me?!”

“I wouldn’t dare… Envoy Ye, my name is Hu Dabiao.”

Ye Chen nodded, said, “Got it. There’s nothing for you here anymore, you can leave now. When we enter the Inner Sea, if I need you to do something, I’ll naturally contact you.”

The Celestial Burial Sea resists Reincarnators.

Hu Dabiao is a genuine Reincarnator. Unless necessary, it’s best to minimize contact to avoid trouble.

If needed, he can find Hu Dabiao, but if not, no contact, never met.

Just plant a chess piece for future use.

If Hu Dabiao hadn’t attacked earlier, even being a Reincarnator, Ye Chen may not have treated him harshly.

Yet this guy clearly had ill intentions before, being spared from a direct killing was fortunate for him.

Despite what Ye Chen said, Hu Dabiao showed no sign of wanting to leave, saying, “Envoy Ye, I have a shocking discovery.”

Hu Dabiao’s face showed a hint of flattery, combined with his beard, which made Ye Chen feel uncomfortable.

“Speak.”

“I discovered someone who appears to be a parasite also entered the deserted island to participate in the assessment.”

“Oh?” Ye Chen’s eyes gleamed, asking, “Who?”

“Xu Xiaolong.”

This name, Ye Chen knew, and could match to who it referred.

Among the Ten Greats of the Outer Sea, He Xun ranked first, Xu Xiaolong second, Yi’an third.

Xu Xiaolong was closely affiliated with He Xun, part of the same faction.

“For now, don’t worry too much about the parasite matter,” Ye Chen stated.

Hu Dabiao remarked, “Envoy Ye, this Xu Xiaolong seems to be plotting something unsavory. I think you’d be interested.”

Ye Chen glared at Hu Dabiao with a fierce look.

Hu Dabiao shrank his neck, asking, “Envoy Ye, did I say something wrong again?”

Ye Chen replied coldly, “If you have something to say, say it and stop being coy!”

This guy seems old and experienced but is actually a bit eccentric.

“Actually, I discovered that for a long time, Xu Xiaolong has been secretly watching Yi’an.”

Ye Chen frowned.

Yi’an was a decent person.

But before Ye Chen could speak, Hu Dabiao continued, “But ever since you appeared, his focus shifted to you. He’s been avoiding He Xun these days, probing information about you.”

Ye Chen: “…”

This guy likes to deliver information bit by bit.

“Why not say it all at once? Would it kill you?” Ye Chen said angrily.

Hu Dabiao shook his head, saying, “Envoy Ye, about the attack earlier, I still want to explain. I had no ill intentions. I just mastered a boxing technique from my memories and wanted to see if I could knock down the divine bird, the Phoenix, with a punch.”

Had it not been for this encounter, Ye Chen would be doubtful.

But after interacting a bit, Ye Chen found it might be true…

Ye Chen was unwilling to think further. If Hu Dabiao cooperated, all was well; if not, it’d be troublesome. So he said, “Although I’ve interacted with Yi’an, I don’t know him too well; you’ve lived in the Outer Sea for a long time, perhaps you know more about him?”

Hu Dabiao nodded, getting interested, saying, “Yi’an is actually somewhat flirtatious…”

Ye Chen’s face darkened, saying, “I’m interested in Yi’an himself, like, does his body differ from ordinary people?”

Xu Xiaolong, being a parasite, first focused on Yi’an, now on Ye Chen.

With a parasite’s modus operandi, he might want to swap bodies and seize control.

Hu Dabiao thought for a long while, suddenly slapped his forehead, saying, “I recall now.

I once heard a secret rumor: the day Yi’an was born, around Island No.1, numerous powerful sea beasts gathered.

At the time, everyone on Island No.1 was terrified, but after Yi’an’s cry when born, all sea beasts inexplicably retreated…

Thus, there was a rumor that Yi’an was a Natural Sea King.

For a period, this rumor was quite widespread.

But as time went on, Yi’an’s talent was good but not exceptional, so the rumor about him being a Natural Sea King gradually faded into oblivion.”

Ye Chen’s eyes flashed.

Natural Sea King…

Perhaps it’s true!
