Chapter 866: Investigate!
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ye Chen looked at the Core Tower with a grave expression.
He could sense danger from the Core Tower, and anyone who got close to it without permission would die without a doubt.
However, this time, even if it was for the sake of the Samsara Graveyard, he had to go.
Duan Huai An saw the hesitation in Ye Chen’s eyes and said, “Disciple, it s very difficult to enter Danxu Town. We should follow our hearts. After all, it’ll be very difficult for us to come here again.”
“Master, I want to go to the Core Tower to look for someone,” Ye Chen said
seriously.”
When Duan Huai An heard this, his expression turned odd.
He knew Ye Chen better than anyone else. He had brought Ye Chen into the Kunlun Mountains from Huaxia. Based on Ye Chen’s identity and status, it was obvious that he should not know any existence in the Core Tower.
He wanted to ask something, but in the end, he said nothing.
“Disciple, since that’s the case, let’s go take a look around the vicinity of the Core Tower.”
“Alright.”
The group headed towards the Core Tower.
Along the way, the passers-by looked at them with unfriendly gazes. They were obviously surprised that such a ragtag group of people made it into Danxu
Town.
The people in Danxu Town were either alchemists or martial arts experts. Top-notch alchemists would have the aura of alchemy flowing around their bodies, making it extremely easy to distinguish them.
None of these four possessed this aura.
However, most of them only stared at Ye Chen and the others for a few seconds before going about their own business. They did not think too much about it.
In their eyes, these ants were probably brought here by some mighty expert for a tour.
At the same time, in a majestic building in the Kunlun Mountains.
Mr. Jingshui stood on the roof of a four-story building.
He tapped his toes lightly and landed on the roof.
There were six people behind him. Their expressions were a little strange, and they did not even dare to breathe loudly.
Mr. Jingshui had his back to the six of them, hiding his expression from them.
Suddenly, he spoke.
“You should know why I called you here, right? After all, the news has probably made its way around by now.”
As soon as these words were said, the expressions of the six people changed drastically.
One of the men in black quickly stood up and half-knelt behind Mr. Jingshui. “Master, I, Liu Yun, am willing to lead my sect elders to capture the little b*stard Ye Chen! This person dared to slap Master, and deserves to die! We 11 hunt him down even if he is in the Core Tower!”
Liu Yun was clearly hot-tempered, and his eyes were filled with determination.
Another middle-aged man also stood out and half-knelt. “Master, Senior Brother Liu Yun’s identity is special. He will definitely be restricted from entering the Core Tower. Why don’t I go instead? I have some dealings with the Cui family of the Core Tower. The Cui family has always provided pills for my
sect.”
The other four also expressed their willingness to take action.
However, Mr. Jingshui turned around and shookhis head. “I didn’t ask you to come here today to kill Ye Chen. He’s going to die eventually. We’ve agreed on a life-and-death battle in two months.”
Liu Yun sneered, “Master, this little b*stard doesn’t know what’s good for him. He wants to fight you in two months? That wouldn’t happen even if the duel was in a million years. However, since you didn’t call us here to kill Ye Chen, then why did you call us here?”
Mr. Jingshui waved his sleeve, and a document appeared in front of everyone.
It had the seal of a certain department in Huaxia.
“Master, this is…?” Someone asked doubtfully.
Mr. Jingshui explained, “This is some information that I sent someone to Huaxia to obtain. This competition was not completely fruitless. Ye Chen was once a good-for-nothing who only started cultivating five or six years ago. He even has mortal roots. Logically speaking, it would be difficult for him to even reach the sealed immortal ascension realm. However, not only has he reached that level, but he is also strong enough to battle origin realm cultivators. There’s definitely something strange about him.”
“Furthermore, I’ve exchanged blows with him before. Although he’s a saint realm cultivator, his techniques are mysterious and can’t be underestimated. “Most importantly, this kid actually has a heaven-defying spiritual beast by his side.”
“I’ve checked the ancient books, but there’s no trace of information about this spiritual beast. It’s as if it has never appeared on earth.”
“I asked you to come here today because I want you to put down everything you’re doing and investigate Ye Chen! From Huaxia to the Kunlun Mountains! Start investigating from his ancestors down to the minutest detail. This brat is definitely hiding a huge secret. If I get my hands on it, I might be able to rule the Kunlun Mountains!”
At this moment, Mr. Jingshui’s eyes were filled with greed and madness.
The six of them looked at each other and naturally agreed, “Master, give us a few days. We will definitely gather the information and hand it over personally.”
Mr. Jingshui nodded in satisfaction and said, “Since that’s the case, then disperse. If you don’t bring back good news by then, you don’t have to come back.”
Hearing this, the six of them felt a trace of fear in their hearts.
After the six of them disappeared, Mr. Jingshui was the only one left in the building. He looked in the direction of the Core Tower, his eyes flickering with an undetectable killing intent.
“Ye Chen, Medical God sect! Anyone who offends me will die miserably. Just you wait!”
The scene changed. Ye Chen had finally arrived at the Core Tower with the members of the Medical God sect.
However, before they even got close, an extremely powerful spiritual pressure enveloped them, making it difficult for them to breathe.
“Master, I feel terrible,” Xiao Bi’s face was pale as she said with difficulty.
Even Old Xue did not dare to go any closer.
Ye Chen naturally understood and said to Duan Huai An, “Master, wait here. 111 be right back.”
Duan Huai An nodded. He glanced at the people guarding the entrance of the Core Tower and reminded him, “Disciple, we are unfamiliar with this place, so try not to get into a conflict.”
“I understand.”
Ye Chen no longer hesitated and headed toward the entrance of the Core Tower. After a few steps, a voice rang out from the Samsara Graveyard,” “Disciple, if you speak to others about this name, I suggest you disguise yourself a little. After all, this involves matters from the ancient times. If someone with ill intentions finds out, it will be dangerous for you.”
Ye Chen nodded, and immediately disguised himself as Ye Shitian.
This place was different from the outside world, and very few people knew about Ye Shitian. Therefore, it was still an effective disguise.
There was only one entrance to the Core Tower, but there were only two people guarding it, sitting on two rattan chairs on each side.
These two old men with unknown cultivation levels were sitting on the rattan chairs with their legs crossed and their palm-leaf fans swaying, looking very leisurely.
Even so, Ye Chen did not dare to underestimate them. He could sense that although the two old had their eyes closed, their spiritual sense had already spread out throughout the surroundings, and nothing could escape their detection.
A few middle-aged men who entered with tokens were also extremely respectful to the two old men.
Even a few alchemists who had a strong auras of alchemy greeted them respectfully.
However, these two old men looked impatient toward everyone. They neither got up, nor responded to the greetings.
