Chapter 793: Surprise Appearance
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation | Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After the Lord of Slaughter and the others disappeared, two beautiful figures quietly made their appearance.
It was Ji Siqing and Ji He.
When Ji Siqing saw the river of blood, her expression changed drastically, and her body trembled slightly.
This was the place where she had met Ye Chen earlier. There were no signs of life here at all.
Could it be that that fellow had unfortunately died here?
She had only left just a while ago…
Why had something like this happened?
Did Ye Chen offend someone?
Could it be that Granny Hua had changed her mind?
That should not be possible. After all, both of them had sworn an oath with his blood essence.
“Sister Siqing, will that brat…”
“He won’t!” Ji Siqing suddenly said resolutely.
Although everything happening right now did not bode well for Ye Chen’s chances, she believed that Ye Chen was not someone who would die so easily.
Even if a great battle might have taken place here, it did not necessarily mean that Ye Chen had died here.
In order to determine whether Ye Chen was dead or alive, she made a hand seal with her fingers and forced out a drop of blood essence. The blood essence floated in front of her eyes like a blooming plum blossom.
Suddenly, a blurry image projection appeared in her mind.
She could not see exactly what happened. After all, the strength of the experts who fought here was above hers.
However, one thing was certain…
Ye Chen was still alive, and he had already left.
Ji Siqing felt as if a stone had been lifted from her heart. However, she had no idea who had helped Ye Chen.
Why did this person help Ye Chen?
Why did he kill all these people?
Could it be that the lightning tribulation phenomenon was triggered by this person?
Ye Shitian?
Ye Shitian?
No, although the image was blurry, it seemed to be an old man.
It was said that Ye Shitian’s talent and potential were similar to hers, so he naturally could not be an old man.
The transformation in Ye Chen’s strength was probably related to this mysterious old man.
It seemed that everything could only wait until she saw Ye Chen again, which would happen sooner or later. After all, Ye Chen had an agreement with Granny Hua.
Ye Chen would definitely participate in the genius competition, and the date of the competition was not far off.
She was rather curious. Where did Ye Chen’s confidence come from that he dared to challenge Granny Hua? Would he really be able to withstand those three moves?
He was clearly a transcendent realm cultivator, yet he was not afraid of an expert who was several cultivation realms higher than he was.
Usually, this kind of person was either a madman or a genius!
She hoped that Ye Chen was the latter, and that he would give her a pleasant surprise during the competition.
In the end, she chose not to dwell on the matter, and glanced at Ji He and said,
“Let’s go back to the Ji family.”
Ji He was stunned. She widened her eyes and asked curiously, “Sister Siqing, aren’t we looking for Ye Shitian?”
Ji Siqing shook her head.
“Ye Shitian won’t be here. He left a long time ago, so it’s a waste of time if we keep looking. We might as well go and prepare for that matter in a few days. It seems that I’m fated to meet Ye Shitian.”
Suddenly, Ji He thought of something and joked, “Sister Siqing, I heard that Ye Shitian is about the same age as us. Do you think he will participate in the competition in a few days?”
Ji Siqing narrowed her eyes and said, “I do hope that he does, but from the looks of it, this person doesn’t like to reveal his identity.
Half a day later, Ye Chen and Duan Huai An returned to Qingxuan Peak.
Naturally, Qingxuan Peak’s patriarch was the first to welcome them.
“Mr. Ye, Sect Master Duan,” The patriarch greeted them respectfully.
Duan Huai An was stunned. He knew how prideful the patriarch was, so what was with the sudden change in attitude?
Even if Ye Chen was Ye Shitian, there was no need to do this!
He looked at Ye Chen meaningfully, but did not ask further.
Ye Chen was able to reach his current level and repair his dantian despite his mortal roots and cultivation challenges, so this disciple of his definitely had some secrets.
However, he would not pry into them. This was his principle.
“Did anything happen to my parents over the past few days?” Ye Chen asked.
The patriarch shook his head. “Don’t worry, Mr. Ye. They’re both safe. However, they’ve been very focused on cultivation recently, and I’ve felt the aura of breakthroughs in their room quite often.”
Ye Chen naturally knew why his parents were like this. His father and mother had focused themselves on their cultivation in order to prepare themselves to head to the Ye family of the Kunlun Mountains.
After all, the deaths of his grandfather and grandmother were related to the family head of the Ye family, and his parents wanted revenge.
They could not live under the same sky!
No matter what, some debts naturally had to be settled!
However, they did not know where exactly the Ye family resided, and neither did he.
His grandfather had left behind some clues for him to find his old friend. However, their only meeting ended very quickly, and there were some questions that Ye Chen did not even have time to ask.
No one knew where the old man with the wine gourd on his waist was now. Only by finding this person could he find out more about the Ye family.
-Do you still have the thing I left at Qingxuan Peak?” Duan Huai An suddenly asked, sounding a little anxious.
-Yes,” the patriarch nodded and said, “Sect Master Duan, please follow me. Ever since you went to the Jade Green Mountains, I’ve been keeping it safe for you.” “Disciple, I’ll be back in a moment. You’re injured, so why don’t you rest for a while?” Duan Huai An said.
“Alright.”
Ye Chen had not showered for a few days. The only thing he wanted to do now was to take a hot bath and sleep.
After returning to his room, Ye Chen took off his clothes and lay in the bathtub. He closed his eyes and relaxed.
This was the life he wanted.
Suddenly, he noticed something. He opened his eyes and stretched his right hand out of the water. “Dragonslayer Heaven Sword, come!”
A sword instantly appeared in his hand, and the water in the bathtub surged like waves and overflowed.
Ye Chen turned around and pointed the tip of his sword in a certain direction. His killing intent was overwhelming!
He realized that there was someone else in the room!
At this moment, a young woman was standing in the direction the sword was pointing at, looking at him with interest.
The woman was wearing a long red dress with a phoenix pattern embroidered on the wide hem, and her fair arms were covered with some purple silk.
There was also a red sword at her waist.
She had long, jet-black hair that fluttered slightly as she moved, and she also had a beautiful face.
There was a bright pattern between her eyebrows that looked like an ancient rune.
At this moment, her soul-stirring eyes were staring at Ye Chen in the bathtub, looking curious.
Ye Chen suddenly realized that he could not sense this woman’s cultivation level at all, which meant that her cultivation level far surpassed his!
Most importantly, she had appeared here silently. Could it be that she was an assassin?
Who could hire an assassin of this level?
Just as Ye Chen was about to take action, the woman smiled charmingly. She was like a fairy who didn’t belong to the mortal world.
“You’re the owner of the Samsara Graveyard? You don’t seem very special.” Ye Chen’s scalp went numb when he heard this, and he suddenly thought of something…
He had shattered the Nine Mystical Stone that Ji Siqing had given him, which should have activated one of the tombstones in the Samsara Graveyard.
Later on, because Duan Huai An had come out of seclusion, he had not paid attention to the Samsara Graveyard. Was this woman the owner of the tombstone that had been activated?
Were the ancient mighty experts not old men who had lived for thousands of years?
Why was there a beautiful woman among their ranks?
