Supreme Sword God

Chapter 1072: Chapter 1071: Doesn’t Your Conscience Hurt?

At this moment, Ye Chen stood near a region where over a thousand people were gathered.

The cultivators monitoring the Ten Thousand Islands Sect, even when passing right in front of him, couldn’t detect his presence.

”Here, there are the most people, the Ten Thousand Islands Sect should have some movement soon.”

Ye Chen thought to himself.

In other areas, only a few hundred people were gathered.

But here, it’s almost three thousand!

However... there isn’t a single Emperor Realm present.

Moreover, the number keeps increasing, with Ten Thousand Islands Sect cultivators continuously bringing groups of people into this massive crowd.

Suddenly.

Ye Chen’s gaze flickered, his pupils contracted.

In the crowd, there was a young man with thick eyebrows carrying a large sword on his back!

Luo Tian was here!

Fatty had already said Luo Tian came to the Celestial Burial Sea, went to the Martial Alliance Headquarters to help, then quietly left.

Ye Chen never expected to encounter Luo Tian in the forbidden zone.

Moreover, Luo Tian had become one of the bargaining chips the Ten Thousand Islands Sect was using to trade with the evil spirits!

”This silly kid... although he was a bit naive before, he wasn’t clueless. Looks like he was influenced by that madman Yi Xiaoyao!”

Ye Chen clenched his fist.

Originally planning to act after careful consideration.

Now, he can only act against the plan.

If anything happened to Luo Tian.

Ye Chen felt he would regret it for the rest of his life!

In the next moment, Ye Chen’s Martial Arts Divine Eye illusion ability was once again activated, blending into the crowd.

No one around felt any surprise.

It was as if he had been part of the crowd all along.

The place Ye Chen chose was at a distance from Luo Tian, but not too far, ensuring he could act the moment something happened.

Luo Tian isn’t Fatty; his mind isn’t fast enough.

Going to recognize him now, this naive guy might blow the cover!

Moments later.

An Emperor Realm powerhouse from the Ten Thousand Islands Sect appeared at the front of the crowd.

This man was named Xiao Yong, like Qi Yun, he was also an elder of the Ten Thousand Islands Sect.

Clearly, Xiao Yong was quite respected, as many in the crowd praised him, saying he was righteous and warm-hearted.

Xiao Yong stood at the front of the crowd, waving his hand to indicate for everyone to quiet down.

The crowd soon stopped the noise.

Xiao Yong cleared his throat and said, ”Everyone, I have gathered you here for an important matter, hoping to get your assistance.

According to investigations, near the lighthouse, there are many evil spirits appearing. These spirits might assault the lighthouse of the Ten Thousand Islands Sect.

As you all know, with the outbreak of the black tide, our manpower at the Ten Thousand Islands Sect is stretched thin. We have allocated a large force to guard the lighthouse, ready to respond to various sudden crises.

But we can’t rest assured about those evil spirits nearby. Therefore, I hope all of you will join me in entering the black tide to expel the evil spirits!

Please rest assured, the Ten Thousand Islands Sect will reward everyone. After the matter is settled, Emperor Tian Wan will publicly impart his teachings, and everyone can go listen!”

”Elder Xiao, we are not those who fear death. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have come to the forbidden zone. Now, we are protected by the Ten Thousand Islands Sect lighthouse, and the sect needs our support, we shall not refuse!”

”Exactly, Elder Xiao can command us, no one will have any objection.”

”The Ten Thousand Islands Sect is righteous, providing us protection. If we don’t even cooperate with this small matter, it would be truly despicable!”

Shouts erupted in waves.

Originally, many weren’t willing to go but now found it hard to speak against it.

Ye Chen, blending into the crowd, had a cold smile on his lips beneath the mask.

The traces of this little trick are too obvious, using a few proxies to stir emotions, immediately silencing everyone.

This set-up...

Honestly, Ye Chen quite liked using it, so he saw through it instantly.

Xiao Yong was satisfied with the outcome, smiling, said: ”Everyone, rest assured, I will personally go, along with two elders secretly watching, the Ten Thousand Islands Sect will do its utmost to ensure everyone’s safety.

No time to delay, let’s depart together now!”

Soon after.

Under Xiao Yong’s lead, the large group majestically moved out from the lighthouse range, into the surging black tide.

Ye Chen’s spiritual power quietly spread out.

Indeed, there were two Emperor Realm auras trailing in secret, his pace gradually slowed down, unconsciously retreating to the end of the group, and then taking the opportunity of being unnoticed, disappeared into the black tide.

”Ninth Elder, just now someone seemed to fall behind.” A voice suddenly sounded.

Followed by another voice responding: ”Was it anything special?”

”Can’t quite say, I noticed him because he seemed deeply hidden.”

”Eleventh Elder, maybe you’re being too sensitive, just a trivial character, gone is gone, it doesn’t concern us.”

”Ninth Elder, to be honest, I feel uneasy. Qi Yun’s been out for so long, no word has come back yet. Has something happened?”

”If something happened to Qi Yun, isn’t that good? He’s always been against us, I’d wish he’d die sooner.”

The conversation in the darkness ended here.

Moments later.

Surprised shouts sounded again.

”Ninth Elder, Elder Xiao Yong and his men are missing...”

”Eleventh Elder, don’t rush, let’s spread out and search carefully. In the black tide, even Emperor Realm senses are greatly weakened, they might be nearby.”

The two immediately spread out.

Moments later.

”Boom!”

A huge explosion echoed.

”Eleventh Elder, what happened?”

An old man quickly headed towards the direction of the explosion.

In the darkness, another old man appeared, saying: ”Ninth Elder, it’s nothing, thought someone was following in secret, just a false alarm.”

Ninth Elder responded with a serious expression: ”Don’t be so reckless next time. If something happens, it would be hard to explain.”

Eleventh Elder said, ”Ninth Elder, what do you think Emperor Tian Wan is trying to gain by trading with the Evil Spirit Heaven-Hating Emperor?”

Ninth Elder shook his head and said, ”Eleventh Elder, these matters are not for us to speak of casually.”

”Anyway, it’s just you and me here, no harm in discussing it. Truth be told, I dare not have any other thoughts when Emperor Tian Wan instructs us, but... taking such risks without knowing anything feels trapped.”

Ninth Elder: ”Actually... I do know a bit.”

Eleventh Elder: ”Go on, don’t you trust me?”

Ninth Elder: ”I’ll tell you, but you mustn’t disclose it.”

Eleventh Elder promised, patting his chest, ”I can swear...”

Ninth Elder: ”Swearing isn’t necessary.”

”Ninth Elder, please tell me, don’t keep me in suspense.”

Ninth Elder nodded and said, ”Last time, Emperor Tian Wan’s clone was obliterated by the Celestial Blade Emperor, he wants to gather a new clone, possibly an evil spirit clone!”

Eleventh Elder: ”Why does Emperor Tian Wan want to create an evil spirit clone?”

Ninth Elder: ”That, I don’t know. I only know that at the lighthouse, Emperor Tian Wan’s clone has been brought in already. What’s needed now in the forbidden zone is to transform that clone thoroughly using the method of creating evil spirits.

Hence, Emperor Tian Wan connected with the Evil Spirit Heaven-Hating Emperor, who agreed to help but demanded Emperor Tian Wan offer up ten thousand human cultivators’ lives, leading to the tasks we’re undertaking now.”

Eleventh Elder looked at Ninth Elder, saying, ”Aren’t you human too, sacrificing ten thousand human cultivators for the evil spirits, does your conscience not hurt?”
