Chapter 786: Choice
Ye Chen had a premonition that this Ancient Emperor Realm would inevitably play an incredibly important role in the future, not to mention anything else, just talking about the Demon God Ruins and the Slaughter Immortal Ship.
Moreover, Elder Yan's identity was far more complicated than Ye Chen had imagined.
After pausing silently at this place for a moment, Ye Chen did not linger any longer, maneuvered the Void Divine Platform, set the spatial coordinates, and with a swishing sound, broke the void and left.
Boom——
The void shattered, and Ye Chen returned once again to that piece of void. It was the position below where he had previously contested with the various Saints, and also the void above where he had once fought against Cang Jitian.
He expanded his Divine Sense and quickly sensed the presence of the Gray Dragon, put away the Void Divine Platform, and directly traversed towards it.
After a few breaths, Ye Chen appeared over a vast region of mountains that stretched for a hundred thousand peaks. The Four-winged Serpent Dragon happened to be stationed atop a grand mountain and had not departed.
The Gray Dragon had been stationed outside the lair of the Four-winged Serpent Dragon, waiting for the return of its master, Ye Chen, with considerable vigilance.
When it sensed Ye Chen's Qi Mechanism, its face immediately showed joy, and it breathed a sigh of relief, proving that Ye Chen was unharmed, being deeply impressed and infinitely reverent from the bottom of his heart.
Because he had already witnessed the shocking scene of Ye Chen battling against the Saints in the starry sky, such a battle was truly heart-stirring, unprecedented.
Even Lin Ke'er and the other six people in the exquisite small pavilion watched Ye Chen through the windows, with unparalleled reverence and indescribable complexity, threaded with strands of fear.
Through projections and Gray Dragon's assistance, they naturally also saw the great duel in the starry sky among the Saints.
On one hand, they were astonished by Ye Chen's unparalleled might, not only defeating Cang Jitian but also showcasing absolute invincibility when facing the Saints dispatched by the Ancient God Continent to eliminate him, sweeping through and slaying numerous Saints. Even Saint Master Level characters were cut down three in a row, truly shocking the Ancient God Continent.
This kind of achievement definitely deserved a place in the annals of history.
Moreover, such characters have always stood formidable, requiring the reverence of the people, not to mention only a member of the younger generation of Heavenly Pride, could be said to be the number one among the younger generation, not just in the present, probably the strongest young Heavenly Pride in history.
Even the Crown Princes of the Nine Great Empires would certainly need to submit and worship, not daring to challenge.
This made Lin Ke'er and six others deeply reverent and admiring from their hearts, as such characters indeed deserved their worship.
However, from another perspective, it made them somewhat worried, somewhat concerned. Because they had learned that Ye Chen's true identity was not some so-called hermit cultivator, but one of the Great Demons, perhaps even the legendary strongest Great Demon, Qian Yue.
Having been with him for so long, they only now knew, leading to quite complex feelings.
On one hand, he was the Great Demon that the entire continent clamored to hunt down; on the other hand, he was the one who saved them and earnestly guided their cultivation, leaving them momentarily in a contradiction, not knowing how to face this.
Ye Chen entered the pavilion, and upon seeing their facial expressions, he immediately understood, simply smiled faintly, without any reproach, as it was human nature.
He sat down straightforwardly, spoke softly, "Now, how do you choose? One option is to continue being with me as we proceed to the Tianxu Imperial City. However, you should also know that I am the so-called Great Demon referred to by the people of the Ancient God Continent, and seem to be the strongest one, like a street rat everyone wants to shout and hit. Being with me, you are likely to face danger, and you may be implicated, even bringing trouble to your families."
"The second option is, I can leave midway, leaving the Four-winged Serpent Dragon for you to continue riding to Tianxu Imperial City. You can choose, but I won't harm you, I can guarantee this to you, you can rest assured."
Regarding Ye Chen's promise, several people were naturally reassured. Such a Super Expert capable of slaying Saint Masters spoke, naturally would not break the rules, otherwise to kill them would be a mere flick of the hand.
Inside the pavilion, several people were silent for moments, especially Lin Ke'er, whose exquisite and lovely little face was full of complexities and indecision, glancing at Ye Chen meditating on one side, then looking at the slightly frightened expressions of the others.
With a gentle sigh, she said softly, "Jiaojiao, Lin Jun, you continue on, I choose to go with Brother Qian."
"Ke'er!"
Lin Jun, Ouyang Jiaojiao, and one other suddenly froze, including Ye Chen who opened his eyes slightly, with a hint of surprise at Lin Ke'er, evidently not expecting her to continue choosing to trust him even at this time.
"Along the way, Brother Qian has not only saved us but also guided our cultivation. If he wanted to harm us, he would have acted much earlier, why wait until now? Besides, with Brother Qian's strength, you can clearly see it, aren't those Saint Master level experts of the Emperor Dynasty also slain? Isn't the encirclement by the Saints also swept through? Is there any need to be so good to us?"
Lin Ke'er bombarded them with an array of words, causing all inside the exquisite pavilion to fall silent, thoughtfully.
Indeed, if Ye Chen genuinely intended to have designs on them, why would he do so, directly deploying Supreme Divine Arts to control their Primordial Spirit would suffice.
Everything could be explained.
However, people of the Ancient God Continent have always been terrifyingly wary of Great Demons, and these past two years those Great Demons rampaged across the continent, causing the public to panic, and it wasn't something that could change overnight.
At this time, Ye Chen finally spoke, smiling slightly, extracted the Jade Token given by Li Xuan from the Ancient Divine Palace, and said, "Everyone, this is the Jade Token given to me by Li Xuan from the Ancient Divine Palace, I believe this cannot be counterfeit."
The aura of the Ancient Divine Palace was unique, when they saw this Jade Token, everyone was shocked, looking at Ye Chen again, not knowing how he obtained this Jade Token, but also confident it wasn't forcibly taken by Ye Chen.
Because they knew the strength of the Ancient Divine Palace, far surpassing the Nine Great Ancient Emperor Dynasties.
"Not long after, I will be visiting the Ancient Divine Palace along with the other Great Demons you speak of, this is the proof, if you still don't believe me, I won't mind." Ye Chen smiled gently, seeming quite composed and relaxed.
"Apologies, Young Master Qian, we misunderstood you, please forgive us." Lin Jun and others ultimately remained in the pavilion to proceed together with Ye Chen, yet their gazes showed much more reverence.
Even Lin Ke'er also seemed slightly constrained.
Ye Chen shook his head slightly, but did not mind, calmly practiced his cultivation.
The journey was peaceful without incident, the Four-winged Serpent Dragon safely descended upon the Hua Country Capital, afterward, after the few people paid ten thousand Ancient God Coins per person, they activated the Space Gate, crossed the Breaking Void, traversing to the Imperial City of Tianxu Empire in the Central Region of the Ancient God Continent.
