Chapter 3698: Chapter 3688: A Slap in the Face! (Sixth Update)

Upon hearing Ye Chen’s words, Liu Yunmiao couldn’t help but look at him in surprise. How could everyone know of Zhenyuan Palace’s intentions? Ye Chen was setting himself up for humiliation by approaching them. But why?

How could Liu Yunmiao understand Ye Chen’s thoughts? Ye Chen had long been frustrated at being unable to enter Zhenyuan Palace and obtain the other half of the Sacred Origin Heart.

Now that Zhenyuan Palace had come to their doorstep, Ye Chen saw an opportunity. Maybe this time, he could get a chance to retrieve the Sacred Origin Heart.

Even if he couldn’t get the Sacred Origin Heart back, he could at least get a preliminary investigation of Zhenyuan Palace to avoid being completely in the dark in the future.

Moreover, Zhenyuan Palace had humiliated the Six Paths Sect for years, and it was time to demand an explanation.

”Senior Brother, Zhenyuan Palace has sinister motives; as the Chief Disciple, you mustn’t go to Zhenyuan Palace.”

At this moment, Liu Yunmiao said anxiously to Ye Chen, certain of Zhenyuan Palace’s malicious intent.

”As the Chief Disciple, now that Zhenyuan Palace has arrived, I have to take a look.”

Ye Chen waved his hand, speaking indisputably, then stepped down towards Netherworld Peak.

Seeing this, Liu Yunmiao knew Ye Chen’s mind was made up and wouldn’t change. Helplessly, he could only follow behind Ye Chen.

Meanwhile, within the Six Paths Temple, the group from Zhenyuan Palace had already entered.

Leading them was an elder named Shi Baomiao, at the eighth-level Heavenly Repairing Realm, exuding a powerful aura, standing arrogantly in the hall.

Behind Shi Baomiao, the Zhenyuan Palace disciples were even more arrogant, commenting disdainfully on everything in the Six Paths Sect along their way.

Evidently, in the eyes of the Zhenyuan Palace disciples, the Six Paths Sect was like a rural village, utterly incomparable to their grand and magnificent Zhenyuan Palace, as lowly as could be.

In the palace hall, Sect Master Wu Duan Cang sat at the head, with the other elders present, all wearing calm expressions, but their eyes were filled with gloom.

”Elder Shi, may I ask the reason for your visit this time?”

Wu Duan Cang was the first to break the silence, asking knowingly.

”Haha.”

Hearing Wu Duan Cang’s words, Shi Baomiao couldn’t help but reveal a peculiar smile, looking at him with a sarcastic tone: ”My visit this time is just like before, to invite the disciples of the Six Paths Sect to Zhenyuan Palace as guests.”

Shi Baomiao paused, raising his eyes to look at Wu Duan Cang, his eyes flickering, ”Zhenyuan Palace and the Six Paths Sect are old friends who should interact frequently. I hope Sect Master Wu won’t refuse this time.”

Though Shi Baomiao’s words seemed friendly, his tone was strange, with ill intentions written all over his face.

Indeed, Shi Baomiao didn’t try to hide anything. The Six Paths Sect had refused to visit Zhenyuan Palace for over a hundred years, and this time was unlikely to be an exception. Shi Baomiao’s real purpose was to humiliate the Six Paths Sect.

Although Wu Duan Cang was far stronger than Shi Baomiao, the latter relied on Zhenyuan Palace, confident that Wu Duan Cang wouldn’t dare to take action against him, hence his arrogance.

Upon hearing Shi Baomiao’s words, Wu Duan Cang remained indifferent, casting a deep look at him before shaking his head, saying: ”I understand Zhenyuan Palace’s intentions. Thank you for remembering the friendship between our two sects.”

He emphasized the word ”friendship,” causing Shi Baomiao’s face to stiffen hearing it.

”However, the Six Paths Sect is currently busy with many affairs, and the disciples need to focus on cultivation, so we can only apologize for declining Zhenyuan Palace’s kind offer.”

Wu Duan Cang spoke calmly.

Upon hearing this, before Shi Baomiao could respond, a disciple who seemed of notable status in Zhenyuan Palace suddenly spoke up: ”Our sect has been inviting the Six Paths Sect for hundreds of years, and yet they keep refusing. Could it be that they know they’re weak and are embarrassed to visit our Zhenyuan Palace?”

These words caused an uproar in the Six Paths Temple.

In the past, the elders would endure the humiliation from Zhenyuan Palace’s emissaries, but today even a disciple dared to be so impudent—it was intolerable!

”Insolence! How dare you speak here!”

”Such blatant disrespect, utterly outrageous! Don’t Zhenyuan Palace disciples know any manners?”

One elder after another from the Six Paths Sect angrily rebuked.

Wu Duan Cang’s face darkened, and a flash of killing intent appeared in his eyes.

”You disgrace! Zhenyuan Palace and the Six Paths Sect have been friends for generations. What do you mean by this? Kneel and apologize immediately!”

Shi Baomiao was enraged. He turned to the disciple, but there was a gleam of approval in his eyes.

At this moment, the disciple’s eyes also flickered with malice, though he feigned fear and quickly knelt to apologize.

”I didn’t mean to offend, and I hope the Six Paths Sect’s sect master and elders can forgive me.”

The elders’ faces remained somber, saying nothing. They all knew that the so-called unintentional offense was just a cover; the disciple’s intent was clearly to humiliate the Six Paths Sect.

Yet, the Six Paths Sect indeed dared not do anything to him, leaving them feeling immensely aggrieved.

Wu Duan Cang’s eyes were also cold, but eventually, he raised his hand and said: ”It’s alright, since it was just an unintentional mistake...”

Before Wu Duan Cang could finish, a voice suddenly interrupted in the hall.

”Whether or not it was unintentional, if you made a mistake, you should be punished. Disrespect towards the Six Paths Sect deserves a slap!”

Following the words, a figure suddenly rushed out, violent aura sweeping across. The people of Zhenyuan Palace were stunned. They had visited the Six Paths Sect many times and were used to its tolerance of humiliation. Now, someone dared to speak so boldly, leaving them astonished.

As they were taken aback, the figure had already rushed into the crowd of Zhenyuan Palace, slapping the disrespectful disciple to the ground.

”Remember, you cannot speak disrespectfully of the Six Paths Sect. Watch your words in the future!”

At this moment, everyone in the hall saw clearly the person who spoke—it was Ye Chen!

”This boy...”

Several elders were excited, their eyes fixed on Ye Chen. His action had vented their pent-up anger. For years, they endured Zhenyuan Palace’s disdain; even a clay figure would have a temper, let alone the once-glorious Six Paths Sect.

However, some elders looked worried. Though Ye Chen’s action was satisfying, they feared that Zhenyuan Palace wouldn’t let it slide, potentially causing trouble for the Six Paths Sect.

Seated at the head, Wu Duan Cang looked deeply at Ye Chen, lost in thought.

”Outrageous!”

The people of Zhenyuan Palace snapped back to reality, furious upon realizing Ye Chen was only at the sixth level of the Heavenly God Realm.

Shi Baomiao trembled with anger, wanting to crush Ye Chen with a punch. He had visited the Six Paths Sect many times, always in high spirits, never suffering such humiliation. A disciple of Zhenyuan Palace had actually been struck by the lowly Six Paths Sect!

”A mere sixth-level Heavenly God Realm waste dares to attack me!”

The Zhenyuan Palace disciple, slapped to the ground, stood up with eyes blazing with endless coldness, his early-stage Heavenly Repairing Realm aura sweeping forth, intent on striking Ye Chen down.
