Supreme Sword God

Chapter 936: Chapter 935: Ten Thousand Islands Sect—Arrogance!

While staying underground waiting for the right moment, Ye Chen finally had some free time, so he seized the chance to bombard Emperor Mutian with questions, learning a great deal of information.

For example.

Within this forbidden zone, there are a total of five Evil Spirit Emperors.

They are the Emperor of Wutian, Hentian Emperor, Jue Tian Emperor, Heaven-Breaking Emperor, and Heaven Destroyer Emperor.

That bone altar from before, as well as the Evil Spirit Emperor Weapon, belong to Hentian Emperor, who ranks second among the Evil Spirit Emperors of the forbidden zone.

As for the Celestial Burial Sea Race, they have a total of seven Great Emperors.

Two from the Ten Thousand Islands Sect, one each from the Martial Alliance, Body Alliance, and Spirit Alliance, plus two Loose Cultivator Emperors.

One of those two Loose Cultivator Emperors is the Celestial Child Emperor, whose daughter Ye Chen almost chopped to death.

Of course.

Emperor Mutian’s information is already a century old.

But it should still be roughly accurate.

In a hundred years, even if new Great Emperors appear, their number can’t be that many!

Aside from the Great Emperors, a hundred years ago the Celestial Burial Sea also had four Celestial-tier Divine Appraisers who could stand on equal footing with Great Emperors.

One from the Ten Thousand Islands Sect, one each from the Martial Alliance and Spirit Alliance, and one Loose Cultivator.

Regarding the situation in the Celestial Burial Sea, Ye Chen finally had some degree of understanding.

Truly powerful!

The Eastern Domain Human Race—how many Great Emperors do they even have?

There’s Lingxiao, True Martial Hall Master of the Main Hall, Grand Elder Feng Wuya, Flower God Sect Leader Qin Rhyme, and Brother Chun can barely be counted as one… but Brother Chun’s Great Emperor strength was only fleeting, and it’s unknown whether he’s dead or alive now.

Hopefully he’s still alive.

I kind of miss that insidious little old man.

…

The black tide gradually receded.

Inside a lighthouse, Xu Yanran gathered a large number of Martial Alliance experts at one place.

“Everyone, this black tide lasted a full half month. According to previous calculations, the Enlightenment Tea Tree has already appeared. I hope you can do your utmost to seize the opportunity of the Enlightenment Tea Tree. This is of vital importance to the Martial Alliance.”

The Martial Alliance powerhouses present were all supporters of the current Alliance Leader.

“Miss, rest assured, we will definitely give our all and help the Alliance Leader take another step forward, stabilizing the unrest in the Martial Alliance!”

“This time… our opponents aren’t just the various forces of the Celestial Burial Sea Race, nor are they merely the evil spirits of the forbidden zone. We have to guard against our own people as well. After all, there are those within the Martial Alliance who don’t want to see the Alliance Leader comprehend the Dao again!”

“Hmph, a bunch of skulking rats—just wait for them to show themselves. Whoever sticks his head out, we kill whoever it is. While we’re at it, we’ll take this chance to get rid of a few more scourges!”

Just then.

A young girl arrived.

“Sister Yanran!” The girl’s face was full of worry.

Xu Yanran frowned slightly, walked over, and said, “Jiu’Er, you should leave the forbidden zone first. We’ll talk about the rest later.”

Miss Jiu said, “Sister Yanran, I know you’re under a lot of pressure right now, and what you have to do is very important. But… Jiu’Er still has a presumptuous request. If Sister Yanran encounters Ye Xiu Luo, and you can help… then please lend him a hand, don’t let him die… alright?”

“Ye Xiu Luo is that important to you?”

The corner of Miss Jiu’s mouth suddenly curled into a sweet smile as she said, “Because he still owes me a favor he hasn’t repaid.”

…

In the Body Alliance, a group of powerhouses gathered.

Vice Alliance Leader Zhang Qiancheng had also entered the forbidden zone at the very first moment when the black tide receded.

This powerhouse looked rather irritable.

The Body Alliance had finally produced a youngster with hope of becoming a Celestial-tier Divine Appraiser, a dual-cultivation genius in Flesh Dao and Martial Dao, both with top-grade aptitude.

A few days ago, he had even specially sent that Little Demoness from Celestial Child Divine Island back for Ye Chen’s sake, creating quite a bit of friction with Celestial Child Divine Island. Now, as soon as he returned, he learned that Ye Chen might have fallen in the black tide, and his mood was easy to imagine.

Great Guardian Bai Kai and Guardian Lu Li were likewise downcast because of this.

If they’d known earlier… they would never have let Ye Chen enter the forbidden zone no matter what!

Zhang Qiancheng calmed his emotions and said, “Everyone, this time the Alliance Leader entrusted me with leading you to compete for the Enlightenment Tea Tree opportunity. In past years, the Body Alliance’s harvest from the Enlightenment Tea Tree has always been the smallest. This time, we must change that.

We all know in our hearts that the situation in the Celestial Burial Sea has once again risen to an extremely tense level. Whichever side’s top powerhouses can take that step first will gain a tremendous advantage in the future.

For the sake of the Body Alliance’s future, this struggle over Enlightenment Tea must be pursued with all our strength!”

Just then.

Loud laughter rang out.

“Zhang Qiancheng, I think the Body Alliance shouldn’t harbor any hopes. It would be better for you to honestly cooperate with our Ten Thousand Islands Sect. Once the Ten Thousand Islands Sect achieves hegemony, we’ll remember some merit for your Body Alliance. Isn’t that much easier than you trying to fight for it yourselves?”

An old man arrived, flying in with a young man at his side.

All the Body Alliance members showed anger on their faces, and there was deep dread in their expressions.

The newcomer was the Vice Sect Leader of the Ten Thousand Islands Sect, Xue Guang!

“Xue Guang, you’re not welcome here.” Zhang Qiancheng’s expression was solemn as he shouted coldly.

Xue Guang smiled faintly and said, “I came to look for a youngster named Ye Chen. The Celestial Child Emperor had no time to come himself, so he entrusted me with a favor—he has some business with Ye Chen.”

The young man beside Xue Guang followed up, saying, “Vice Alliance Leader Zhang, your Body Alliance’s Ye Chen nearly hacked the Celestial Child Emperor’s daughter to death. The Celestial Child Emperor has spoken and wants Ye Chen’s soul taken to Celestial Child Divine Island.

I’ve also heard Ye Chen’s Martial Dao and Flesh Dao are both quite good. As it happens, I, Xue Dingchuan, am also a dual cultivator of Flesh Dao and Martial Dao, so I intend to meet him myself.

I believe Vice Alliance Leader Zhang knows the relative importance here. Hand him over. Otherwise, if the stability of the Body Alliance is impacted because of such a small, insignificant character, that would be bad.

Vice Alliance Leader Zhang, do you think what I’m saying makes sense?”

Zhang Qiancheng’s expression darkened. “You’re just a junior and not qualified to speak with me!”

Xue Dingchuan smiled blandly and said, “Since Vice Alliance Leader Zhang looks down on me, Xue Dingchuan, so much, I can only prove myself. Here’s how it’ll be—after I capture Ye Chen’s soul, I will then challenge everyone in the Body Alliance below the Emperor Realm!”

“Xue Dingchuan, you’re too arrogant. I’ll fight you!” A burly man of the Body Alliance who had achieved Fleshly Sanctification roared in anger, shot out like a bolt, and launched a punch, blasting out terrifying Qi Blood power.

Xue Dingchuan’s expression remained indifferent. With his left hand clasped behind his back, his right hand extended, five fingers grasping. Boundless power condensed into a gigantic handprint, crushing that Body Alliance giant’s Qi Blood power, then flipping over and pressing down, directly slamming that Body Alliance burly man flat to the ground!

“If no Great Saints of the Flesh Dao come at me, I’ll find this very boring.” Xue Dingchuan said arrogantly.

“Outrageous, you yellow-haired brat, I’ll teach you a lesson!” Guardian Lu Li was furious beyond measure.

“Stand down!” Zhang Qiancheng shouted, stopping Lu Li, then looked toward the Ten Thousand Islands Sect Vice Sect Leader and said, “Xue Guang, Ye Chen has already been lost in the black tide. That’s my answer to you. If you still refuse to leave, then we’ll just fight first. Our Body Alliance doesn’t eat vegetarian!”

Xue Guang turned his gaze to Hu Fei in the Body Alliance crowd and said, “Hu Fei, you speak.”

Hu Fei’s entire body was instantly drenched in cold sweat.

Xue Guang said, “I hear your Guardian status in the Body Alliance has been revoked. There’s no point in staying there. Why not come to our Ten Thousand Islands Sect? This old man will grant you a Steward position. A Steward of the Ten Thousand Islands Sect is only higher in status than a Body Alliance Guardian, never lower.”

Hu Fei flashed forward at once, rushed to stand before Xue Guang, and dropped to one knee in salute. “Many thanks, Vice Sect Leader Xue!”

Everyone in the Body Alliance had flames in their eyes; killing intent boiled over, and they wished they could butcher Hu Fei on the spot!

The Ten Thousand Islands Sect had just poached a Body Alliance member right in front of so many Body Alliance powerhouses.

This was simply a vicious slap across the Body Alliance’s face!

Hu Fei said, “Reporting to Vice Sect Leader Xue, that Ye Chen is ten out of eight, nine certain to have been lost in the black tide. Right now, he’s probably already possessed by evil spirits.”

Since even Hu Fei, who had a grudge against Ye Chen, said so, Xue Guang no longer doubted it and said, “If that’s the case, then this old man can give the Celestial Child Emperor an explanation.”

Xue Dingchuan laughed coldly. “Vice Alliance Leader Zhang, if Ye Chen is still alive, he’d better hide away and be a tortoise who never pokes his head out. Because… the moment he appears, I’ll come again.”

Then.

Xue Guang left with Xue Dingchuan and Hu Fei.

……

On a certain stretch of ground in the depths of the forbidden zone, a fissure split open.

Ye Chen and Emperor Mutian’s Divine Finger emerged.

“Over here!”

Emperor Mutian said excitedly, immediately leading Ye Chen to search for the Haoyang Celestial Fire he had left behind back then!
