Chapter 148 The Celestial Talisman Guildʼs Revenge On Ye Chen

The branch of Celestial Talismanʼs Guild was a sprawling complex that dominated a significant area of Zhuyu City.

The impressive structure was compartmentalized into various sections, each dedicated to a specific type of talisman.

These sections included one for assault talismans, another for defensive talismans, one for sealing talismans, another for unsealing talismans, and a section for general-purpose talismans.

The Celestial Talismanʼs guild was heavily guarded, but Ye Chen and his team had carefully planned their attack and swiftly made their way to the guild masterʼs office.

As they approached the door, they were confronted by the guards who tried to prevent them from entering.

With lightning-fast reflexes, Ye Chen launched a powerful attack, sending the guard flying through the gate and crashing into the wall with a painful groan.

The guild master and his guest, an elder of the Celestial Dragonʼs Guild, were shocked by the sudden intrusion and the display of power.

”Who are you?!” The guild master demanded, his voice filled with fear and anger.

By this time, all the Lord Realm experts of Ye Chenʼs team were stationed outside and were dealing with the guards of the Celestial Talismanʼs Guild.

”Hand over the talismans and no one will be harmed,” Ye Chen replied coldly, his eyes fixed on the guild master.

The elder of the Celestial Dragonʼs Guild moved forward and struck one of Ye Chenʼs team members.

But Ye Chen was quick to react, intercepting the attack by launching the Whirlwind Slash, infused with his Sword Qi and the vital essence from the Chaos Essence Bead.

This attack caught the Celestial Dragon Sectʼs Elder off-guard and caused him to suffer a slight injury.

”You underestimate us,” Ye Chen said, his voice filled with determination. ”We are not to be trifled with. Now hand over what we came for or face the consequences.”

The Celestial Talismanʼs Guild Master remained undeterred by Ye Chenʼs threat and stepped forward while utilizing a talisman to create a barrier ahead of himself.

Members of Ye Chenʼs team stepped forward as they struck that barrier with enchanted weapons.

The guild masterʼs eyes widened in disbelief as he witnessed the enchantments on the weapons. The Celestial Talismanʼs Guild didnʼt possess these enchantments.

”Which clan do you belong to?!” he demanded, while releasing his qi to prepare for battle.

The guild master may have been a King Realm expert, but his skills were more attuned to creating talismans than actual combat.

Nevertheless, he was determined to defend his guild at all costs.

Two of Ye Chenʼs team members, who were also King Realm experts, immediately approached the guild master to engage in combat.

However, the guild master was quick to release multiple powerful assault talismans to fend them off.

The talismans managed to drive the two warriors away, but they didnʼt give up. Instead, they regrouped and planned a more strategic approach.

Meanwhile, the remaining two King Realm experts of Ye Chenʼs team fought fiercely against the Celestial Dragon Sectʼs elder. The sound of clashing swords and explosions echoed through the room as the two groups engaged in a heated battle.

”Your efforts are futile,” the elder of the Celestial Dragonʼs Sect sneered as he unleashed a powerful attack.

But Ye Chenʼs team members were not easily defeated. They dodged and countered with their own attacks, gradually wearing down the elderʼs defenses.

As the battle continued, it became clear that Ye Chenʼs team had the upper hand.

Meanwhile, the Celestial Talismanʼs Guild guards rushed towards the commotion, but it was too late. Ye Chenʼs team had already managed to grab hold of the guild master.

”You are making a grave mistake,” the guild master warned, struggling against their grasp. ”The Celestial Talismanʼs Guild will not take this lightly. You will face the consequences for your actions.”

”We knew the risks when we came here,” Ye Chen replied calmly.

The guards hesitated for a moment, unsure of what to do. They had been trained to protect their guild master at all costs, but they were no match for Ye Chenʼs team.

Seeing their hesitation, Ye Chen stepped forward and addressed them directly.

”You can either stand down and let us leave with what we came for, or you can continue to fight and suffer the consequences.”

The guards exchanged uneasy glances, but in the end, they chose to stand down. They were worried that if they chose the wrong option here, the guild master might pay the price.

Outside, the battle raged on.

The two King Realm experts of Ye Chenʼs team had joined forces and were now pushing the Celestial Dragon Sectʼs elder back. Despite his skills, the elder was struggling to keep up with their combined might.

Ye Chen stared at the guild master and ordered, ”Lead us to the warehouse.”

The guild master led Ye Chen and his team through the maze-like corridors of the warehouse, leading them to the most heavily guarded section where the most valuable talismans were stored.

As they entered the room, Ye Chen stood with his team, scanning the warehouseʼs contents as the guild master watched in utter defeat.

”Make sure you donʼt forget anything valuable,” Ye Chen spoke aloud.

The guild master could only clench his fists in fury as he watched them rummage through the warehouse, taking anything they deemed valuable.

After some time, they managed to acquire an impressive collection, including thirteen King Realm assault talismans and ten defensive King Realm talismans, which were considered rare and powerful artifacts.

Moreover, they also found themselves holding hundreds of Lord Realm talismans.

Ye Chenʼs team felt a sense of relief and satisfaction as they knew they had successfully completed their mission.

With their newfound talismans, they could now strengthen their combat power and increase their chances of success in their upcoming battles.

With their mission accomplished, Ye Chen and his team let out a series of sharp whistles that echoed across the city.

In response, thirty majestic griffins swooped down and landed near them.

The griffins launched a powerful gust, sending most of the Lord Realm experts flying and causing chaos in the vicinity.

The two warriors who had been fighting the Celestial Dragon Sectʼs elder immediately seized the opportunity to launch a series of devastating attacks.

As the elder dodged their combined assaults, he was startled to see Ye Chenʼs team members swiftly mount the griffins and soar into the sky.

Not a single guard attempted to pursue them as the guild master was still in Ye Chenʼs hands, and they knew that trying to stop them would only bring them more trouble.

After flying some distance away, Ye Chen turned to his team member and gave a curt order.

”Throw him away now.”

Without a word, the team member grabbed the struggling guild master and hurled him off the griffin.

Luckily for the guild master, his martial prowess allowed him to maneuver in the air and land on his feet.

Glowering in the direction of the griffins as they vanished into the distance, the guild masterʼs eyes smoldered with anger.

Meanwhile, Ye Chenʼs team had retreated to their hideout, a secluded clearing deep in the forest. With adrenaline still pumping through their veins, they eagerly examined the talismans they had acquired.

”Wow, we hit the jackpot this time!” one team member exclaimed as he marveled at the King Realm assault talismans.

Another member grinned as he inspected the defensive King Realm talismans. ”These will come in handy for sure.”

Ye Chen leaned back against a tree, a sense of satisfaction washing over him. ”We did well today. No casualties, and we got what we came for.”

As the team reveled in their success, congratulating each other on their first mission without any casualties, Ye Chen sent a message to the second princessʼs palace to inform them of their victory.

Along with the message, he sent some of the talismans they had acquired as proof of their success.

Little did they know that their celebration would be cut short.

Two days later, Ye Chenʼs group was suddenly attacked in their hideout.

They found themselves surrounded by a group of powerful experts, who had been led to their location by none other than the guild master.

It turned out that he had struck a thousand miles tracking talisman on the griffin they used to escape, allowing him to track their every move.

Ye Chen quickly assessed the situation and realized that they were up against some of the most powerful forces in the region.

He looked around at his team and saw the fear in their eyes, but he knew that they couldnʼt afford to falter now.

”Weʼre not going down without a fight,” he declared, drawing his sword.

The group braced themselves for the impending battle as the attackers closed in on them.

They could see the powerful elders of the Celestial Dragon Sect leading the charge, their eyes filled with fierce determination.

As they fought for their lives, it became clear that the Guild Master had spared no expense in hiring the best mercenaries to aid in this attack.

The three groups of mercenaries fought with ruthless efficiency, their weapons glinting in the sunlight as they attacked relentlessly. They had been provided with powerful talismans and some enchanted weapons.

Despite their best efforts, the group soon found themselves overwhelmed and outnumbered.

The guards of the Celestial Talismanʼs Guild were closing in on them, and Ye Chen knew that they had to act fast.

”Fall back!” he shouted to his team, as they began to retreat towards the edge of the clearing.

But it was too late. The attackers had surrounded them from all sides, leaving them with nowhere to run.

Adding insult to injury, Ye Chenʼs team had neglected to disguise themselves in dark clothing to conceal their identities.

The guild masterʼs gaze swept over the group, and recognition dawned on his face as he spotted the two elders of the Tung Clan. His lip curled into a sneer.

”So the Tung Clan has joined forces with the enemies of the Celestial Talismanʼs Guild. You will pay for your treachery,” he growled.

Suddenly, his attention was drawn to Ye Chen, who was wielding a Heavy Sword and emanating Sword Qi. The guild masterʼs eyes widened with realization. ”Youʼre Ye Chen!” he exclaimed.

Ye Chen let out a snarl as he heard that voice. He quickly pulled out a Thousand Miles Escape Talisman and crushed it.

In the next moment, Ye Chen disappeared.
