Chapter 2189: Heavenly Dao Palace

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

”What faction?” Ye Chen asked without thinking.

”Heavenly Dao Palace.” Feng Qingyang slowly uttered these three words, his voice laced with anger.

”It seems that those individuals from the Divine Kingdom have already sensed that something is wrong. If I am not mistaken, they have sent people here to express their unease.”

Ye Chen furrowed his brow. It would have been relatively easy for him to deal with the Blood Spirit Clan, but if the Divine Kingdom was here as well, it was a vastly different story.

The critical one-year period was almost over. If he did not put a stop to it, the Kunlun Mountains would still face peril.

Feng Qingyang appeared to have anticipated Ye Chen’s thoughts. He stated, ”You do not need to worry about the Kunlun Mountains. Since the Divine Kingdom has shown themselves here, they will not have the opportunity to shift their focus elsewhere.”

”Furthermore, with your current strength, should they genuinely send individuals to confront the Kunlun Mountains, you could simply intercept and eliminate them in advance.”

”Moreover, I sense that there is something amiss. What you should truly be concerned about is the Divine Kingdom.”

”The Heavenly Dao Palace has dispatched individuals here, which is a troubling sign.”

”In fact, I have a strong feeling that the people from the Divine Kingdom’s Heavenly Dao Palace will locate you very soon.”

”Let us depart from the Southern Region and return to the Divine Fire Academy. Doesn’t the dean wish to see Chen Zhifan?”

”If we leave now, we can prevent those two from pursuing us. As for the individuals who aided the Kunlun Mountains, there is no rush. The Divine Kingdom’s people cannot stay here forever. We can simply wait for them to depart.”

”I remain apprehensive about one matter. Are the Divine Kingdom’s people present in the Blood Spirit Clan due to the impending appearance of the Reincarnation Tablet?”

”If that is the case, then acquiring the Reincarnation Tablet will prove to be exceedingly difficult. You must prepare yourself mentally.”

Ye Chen cast a glance toward the direction of the Blood Spirit Clan and ultimately nodded.

He was the hope of his masters, so he could not act recklessly.

...

Ye Chen returned to the inn and summoned his flying ship to transport him back to the Divine Fire Academy alongside Chen Zhifan.

According to Chen Zhifan, the ruins housing the true inheritance would open soon, and its location was in a secluded mountain outside Jiuyuan City.

Without a corresponding jade talisman and the correct opening location, even a super expert would be unable to detect the ruins’ existence.

Since time was still on their side, Ye Chen decided to return to the Divine Fire Academy to enhance his strength before heading back to Jiuyuan City.

After all, the Blood Demon Sword remained at the academy.

Without the Blood Demon Sword, he would lack a vital trump card.

..

At the same time, in a land of ice within the Southern Region, which marked the territory of the Juehan Palace.

A streak of pitch-black lightning surged through the icy land. It was the Dark Ray Beast, the beast with the bloodline of an ancient demonic beast that Ye Chen had acquired from the Southern Region.

A veiled girl observed the swiftly moving beast, and a bright smile graced her pale face.

”Bai, does this imply that Ye Chen is still alive?”

”Indeed, Palace Master.” Bai nodded in affirmation.

”Based on our investigation, Ye Chen traveled to the Hong Family’s residence in Jiuyuan City to rescue a man named Chen Zhifan.”

”Moreover, he appears to have almost reached the Star Aperture realm.”

”Palace Master, I have something to confess. Ye Chen is truly remarkable.”

”I cannot even fathom how he survived in Juehan Mountain.”

”Palace Master, is it really possible that Ye Chen can aid the Juehan Palace?”

Wei Ying removed her veil and waved her slender hand, summoning the Dark Ray Beast to her side.

”He has always been like this. He is full of miracles,” she said as she caressed the beast.

”He will not perish easily.”

”This individual truly causes me both joy and tears.”

Bai stifled a laugh, covering her mouth.

Having followed Wei Ying for an extended period, this was the first time she had witnessed the Palace Master in tears.

However, Ye Chen had not perished. For some inexplicable reason, she felt a profound joy.

She realized that the man whom the Palace Master admired could not be underestimated.

”Bai, you might have seen too much in the past few days.”

Wei Ying’s voice suddenly interrupted her thoughts.

Bai promptly ceased her smiling and replied earnestly, ”Palace Master, I am blind and have seen nothing.”

”Palace Master, what is our next course of action?”

Wei Ying stepped onto the Dark Ray Beast. ”Although I am uncertain about what transpired after that day, the enmity between the Divine Kingdom’s Mu Family and our own side has been irrevocably established.”

”I should also journey to that place.”

”I wish to prepare a surprise for Ye Chen.”

Wei Ying looked at the Dark Ray Beast and asked, ”Do you desire to grow stronger for your master?”

Dark demonic energy surged forth as it raised its legs in excitement.

”Follow me then.”

”This opportunity marks the beginning of your expedition to the Divine Kingdom alongside Ye Chen!”

..

A day later.

Ye Chen and Chen Zhifan arrived at an empty mountain peak. Ye Chen surveyed the surroundings and retrieved the token that Ge Qing had bestowed upon him, which represented the dean’s identity. He concentrated all his spiritual energy into it and shot a scarlet light into the void!

The light penetrated the void and mysteriously sank into it. A spatial fluctuation rippled, and a massive red formation materialized out of thin air. Subsequently, a part of the formation transformed into a red door.

Chen Zhifan and Ye Chen exchanged glances. Excitement flickered in his eyes. After all, the Divine Fire Academy was one of the legendary holy lands dedicated to nurturing powerful individuals.

Furthermore, it seemed that his martial uncle was the dean of the Divine Fire Academy, a formidable Great Void realm expert!

It would be unusual if he were not excited.

However, Chen Zhifan quickly steadied himself and followed Ye Chen through the door.

Feeling disoriented, Chen Zhifan opened his eyes once more. The first thing to greet him was the vast gate and towering walls.

In an instant, he felt a wave of shock overwhelm him.

Ye Chen glanced at Chen Zhifan and smiled. When he first arrived at the academy, his reaction had mirrored that of Chen Zhifan.

Soon, the two entered the academy and approached the tower where Ge Qing was located.

Ge Qing was engrossed in reviewing documents in the dean’s office when he suddenly looked up at the door.

Ge Qing was taken aback upon seeing Ye Chen leading Chen Zhifan into the room. He quickly recognized that the young man beside Ye Chen was the successor of his senior brother.

The old man gazed at Chen Zhifan’s face with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes. Then, he smiled and addressed Ye Chen.

”You have returned? Ye Chen, I am immensely grateful.”

Ye Chen shook his head. ”Dean Ge, it is all due to your assistance this time. Brother Chen is a good friend of mine. Even without your connection, had I learned that he was in trouble, I would have rushed to help him no matter his location.”

Chen Zhifan sensed the aura emanating from Ge Qing, which was similar to his own. He understood that the elderly man before him shared a deep bond with his master. He immediately stepped forward and bowed. ”Junior Chen Zhifan greets Martial Uncle!”

Ge Qing swiftly helped Chen Zhifan to his feet, looking at him with affection. ”Good lad, I shall refrain from saying much more. I wish to ask you if you are willing to become my disciple.”

Ye Chen and Chen Zhifan were both taken aback.

The moment Ge Qing spoke, he had directly expressed his desire to take Chen Zhifan in as a disciple!
