Chapter 193: 115 Goodbye Ye Xuan'er! Brother's Immediate Offence! Ye Chen Collapses! (10,000 words) _4
"Master... No, Old Man Yuanyi is currently outside the Pagoda Forest, standing guard for me and keeping the cultivators guarding the pagoda in check," Ye Chen said.
"So that's how it is. To think that after 3,000 years, this bunch of sanctimonious Daoists from the Qinglan Sect still foolishly wishes to seal me forever. Truly laughable and utterly ignorant!" The voice inside the pagoda grew irate.
"Yes... These fools! Foster Father will slaughter them all sooner or later!" Ye Chen clenched his jaw, not daring to breathe loudly.
"Enough, enough. Let's not speak of these ants. Child, did you find the Qinglan Divine Sword in the Sword Tomb that I asked you to retrieve?" the voice inside the pagoda asked.
"This..." Sweat poured down Ye Chen like rain as he quickly said, "I've disappointed you, Foster Father. I didn't find the sword, but I did obtain..."
He was about to mention the Moon Princess but suddenly remembered her request for secrecy and quickly swallowed his words!
Ye Chen wasn't stupid!
As a true man, how could he bear to remain subservient to others for long?
He was currently willing to ally with the Demon Sect only to eradicate the Qinglan Sect and destroy his archenemy Lin Xiao once and for all!
He knew very well that if he wished to Prove Dao to the highest and become the Diving King Ye, admired by all, who dominates the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, he would eventually have to break ties with these insignificant lackeys of the Demon Sect!
And the Moon Princess was his true golden thigh. How could he possibly reveal her to others?
"Obtained what?" the man inside the pagoda pressed coldly.
"Reporting to Foster Father, your son obtained... his own Lifebound Immortal Sword." As Ye Chen spoke, he retrieved a crescent moon-shaped, incomparably sharp black Longsword from his storage space, presenting it with both hands.
"Not bad. It's a good sword, worthy of my son. Hahaha!" The person inside the pagoda seemed extremely pleased, laughing heartily for a moment before continuing, "I have already implanted the 'Seven Evil Demon Heart' in you, helping you complete the Demon in Daoist Mind. Your current strength far surpasses my other masterpiece from 2,000 years ago, the 'Sky Yin Boy.' Therefore, you can now be considered a protector in my Sky Yin Demon Sect! Hahaha!"
"Foster Father, the Sky Yin Boy... is gone," Ye Chen said hesitantly.
"What!? Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!" The demonic voice from within the pagoda held a hint of panic. "The Sky Yin Boy, 2,000 years ago, already possessed peak Dharma Appearance Stage cultivation! Now that 2,000 years have passed, he should at least have reached mid-Nascent Soul Stage cultivation. Who could possibly have killed him?!"
"It was... it was that page boy, Lin Xiao!" Ye Chen seized the opportunity to add, "Foster Father! It's said that Lin Xiao is insidious and ruthless. He has no regard for martial honor and resorts to sneak attacks! That's how Protector Sky Yin Boy was tricked!"
"Lin Xiao? The Qinglan Sect disciple who defeated you at the Five Branches Martial Arts Meet?"
"That's him!" Mentioning this, Ye Chen's face flushed with shame and anger.
"Alright, alright. He's a mere ant; he can't stir up any significant trouble." The person inside the pagoda cleared his throat. "Let's get to important matters. Has your sister, Ye Xuan'er, the queen who rules the North Territory, arrived yet?"
"Reporting to Foster Father! Soon! In about seven days, my sister Xuan'er will lead her army to reinforce me!"
"Good. You can lose the Five Branches Martial Arts Meet, you can lose the Qinglan Divine Sword, but if you lose your sister as well... Child, don't blame me for being merciless! Kekekekeke..." The demonic voice from the pagoda suddenly turned deathly cold.
Ye Chen was horrified. "Gosh, Foster Father, what are you saying! I, your son, declare here! Even if the Heavenly Dao of this world betrays me, my sister Xuan'er will always stand firmly by my side!"
"I know her temperament too well. Without me, her elder brother, she simply cannot go on!"
"Excellent, excellent, excellent! Truly worthy of being the child I've taken a liking to! You possess such charm to make even a proud daughter of heaven fall for you!"
"Hehe, Foster Father, you praise me too much!" Ye Chen could only offer an awkward, ingratiating smile.
"However, child, we may not be able to wait that long," the Sky Yin Blood Demon continued. "The Soul Sky Sect's plan to pollute the Qinglan Sect's spiritual meridian in Canglan City has been thwarted, and you failed to retrieve the Qinglan Divine Sword. We must advance our plans."
"What do you mean by that, Foster Father?" Ye Chen's heart skipped a beat.
"You must temporarily leave the Qinglan Sect. In your capacity as the Princely Heir of Prince Beichuan of Great Zhou and the Right Protector of the Sky Yin Demon Sect, go meet your sister. You also need to regain control of your father's fierce generals of Beichuan!" the voice in the pagoda commanded.
"This..." Ye Chen hesitated for a second, then gritted his teeth. "Yes! Your son will depart tonight!"
"Go, child. No matter where you go, remember! You are the adopted son of me, the Sky Yin Blood Demon. We, father and son... are of One Mind!"
「...」
The master and disciple duo from Tiandang Peak were on their way back to the sect from the Coiling Dragon Abyss.
"Disciple, what did Lord Blood Demon instruct you this time?" Yuanyi couldn't help but ask.
Ye Chen replied coldly, "Foster Father has instructed me to descend the mountain and proactively meet up with my sister, Xuan'er."
"Oh, that's good too. Our initial plans have encountered some setbacks. It's indeed a good thing for you to communicate with Queen Ye sooner."
"Lord Blood Demon is truly farsighted." Yuanyi nodded deeply in agreement, then couldn't resist asking further, "Apart from that, regarding the Sword Tomb incident, didn't His Lordship reprimand you?"
SMACK!
Just as he finished speaking, a solid slap landed squarely on his face!
"Disciple, you..." Yuanyi was stunned by the slap. Then, his eyes blazed like fire, and his face instantly contorted with fury. "I am your Master! I am the Chairman of Tiandang Peak! How dare you..."
"Shut up, Yuanyi!" The black-clad youth rubbed his nose and sneered disdainfully. "Currently, Lord Blood Demon has appointed me as the Left Protector, serving directly under the Grandmaster. In the Sky Yin Demon Sect, my status is now a rank higher than yours! Know your place!"
