Supreme Sword God

Chapter 870 - 869: Distinction Between Inside and Outside, Assassination Before the Palace

Ten days later.

"Splash, splash!"

Waves surged and crashed toward the heavens, the scene spectacular.

The air was filled with a thick, salty dampness.

Ye Chen stood by the sea, looking at the boundless waters, and couldn’t help but feel a sense of insignificance in his heart.

Feng Wuya said, "What you’re looking at is the Outer Sea region of the Celestial Burial Sea, and this is only the edge of the Outer Sea, while your mother is trapped within the Inner Sea.

For ordinary people, stepping into the Outer Sea is extremely difficult; after all, the people here are very xenophobic.

And from the Outer Sea into the Inner Sea, there’s only one chance every three months.

In a bit, someone will come to take you into the Outer Sea. Beyond that, there’s nothing more I can do for you."

Ye Chen said, "Grand Elder brought me here and even arranged someone to escort me into the Outer Sea. I’m already satisfied. Thank you for your help, Grand Elder. From here on, I’ll face the rest myself!"

If it weren’t for Feng Wuya escorting him, just traveling from East Desolate City to this place at full speed might have taken three to five months.

And that was the ideal scenario; if anything went wrong on the way, it would be impossible to calculate.

Moreover, without Feng Wuya’s connections, just entering the Outer Sea alone might have been incomparably difficult.

Feng Wuya gave a faint smile and said, "Ye Chen, that’s why many times, don’t bottle everything up. Don’t think you can shoulder everything by yourself.

If I hadn’t guessed your destination this time and let you toss about on your own, I believe you’d still have made it here and entered the Outer Sea, but the whole process would have cost you countless energy.

In the future, when you run into problems, try to discuss them more.

We old guys haven’t lived all these years for nothing."

Ye Chen said, "Grand Elder, I understand."

At this moment.

On that surging sea, a small boat broke through the waves, speeding toward Ye Chen and Feng Wuya.

Wherever the small boat passed, the sea surface seemed to split into two!

A moment later.

The small boat stopped at the shore.

A middle-aged man leapt into the air and landed before Ye Chen and Feng Wuya.

"I greet Elder Feng!"

The middle-aged man cupped his fists toward Feng Wuya in salute!

Feng Wuya nodded and said, "Fang Cun, I’ve sought you out this time because I have something to trouble you with."

"Elder Feng once saved my life. Since it’s Elder Feng’s request, I, Fang Cun, will go all out!"

Feng Wuya said, "This young man beside me is named Ye Chen. He intends to enter the Inner Sea."

Ye Chen hurriedly cupped his fists and saluted.

Fang Cun showed a troubled look and said, "Entering the Inner Sea can only be done by one’s own ability... We of the Outer Sea can’t guarantee who will definitely get in..."

Feng Wuya nodded and said, "I understand that. Just arrange a reasonable identity for him."

A gleam flashed in Fang Cun’s eyes as he said, "Everyone in the Outer Sea knows I have a senior brother who roams the world, but no one knows his whereabouts. Ye Chen will be my senior brother’s disciple.

In a month and a half, a passage will appear in the Inner Sea’s barrier. At that time, Ye Chen can go there openly as my senior brother’s disciple."

Ye Chen: "Then I’ll have to thank Elder Fang."

Fang Cun smiled and said, "You still have to call me Martial Uncle. Don’t blow your cover. For someone not of the Outer Sea to head to the Inner Sea barrier’s passage, there are many inconveniences."

Ye Chen corrected himself and said, "Thank you, Martial Uncle!"

Seeing that everything was arranged, Feng Wuya said, "Ye Chen, entering the Celestial Burial Sea is a completely new beginning for you. The situation here isn’t as complicated as in the Eastern Region, but the level of danger is several times that of the Eastern Region. Be careful in everything. We old guys will be waiting for you to come back."

After speaking, Feng Wuya’s figure flickered, and he slipped into the void and left.

Fang Cun looked at Ye Chen and said, "Let’s go."

Ye Chen followed Fang Cun onto that small boat.

Fang Cun’s power drove the small boat as it rode the wind and cleaved through the waves.

"Ye Chen, since you’ve just arrived at the Celestial Burial Sea, there are some things I need to make clear to you first."

"Please speak, Martial Uncle."

Fang Cun said, "In the Outer Sea of the Celestial Burial Sea, there are countless islands. The Outer Sea is chaotic and lawless, so the only rule is to see whose fist is bigger.

When something happens.

Don’t worry about what power stands behind the other side. If you can fight, fight. If you can kill, kill.

Because if you don’t fight or kill, others will fight and kill you."

Ye Chen said, "Is the Inner Sea the same?"

Fang Cun shook his head and said, "The Inner Sea, relatively speaking, has a lot more rules.

In the Inner Sea, there are four great forces in total, namely the Ten Thousand Islands Sect, the Martial Alliance, the Spirit Alliance, and the Body Alliance.

Everyone who enters the Inner Sea must choose one of them.

The Ten Thousand Islands Sect controls the most islands and has the greatest power.

The Martial Alliance, Spirit Alliance, and Body Alliance correspond respectively to Martial Artists, Spirit Masters, and Flesh Daoist Cultivators.

Although there are many more rules in the Inner Sea and much less chaotic slaughter, once you enter the Inner Sea, you’ll still have to speak with your fists."

After listening, Ye Chen nodded and said, "Actually, it’s the same everywhere—whoever is stronger is in the right. It’s just that here in the Celestial Burial Sea, this rule is laid bare."

Fang Cun smiled and said, "You can think of it that way."

Ye Chen stopped speaking and sank into silent contemplation.

It seemed he would have to keep a low profile for now.

Here in the Celestial Burial Sea, there weren’t that many big shots covering him.

Thinking of the big shots he’d encountered in his life, Ye Chen couldn’t help but think of that small old man with a bulbous, wine-red nose.

He wondered what Brother Chun was doing now...

......

Alien Race Alliance encampment.

The emperor of the Hundred Spirits Race, one of the so-called three great Celestial Races, sat in a grand and imposing palace.

"Hundred Spirits Emperor, Shi Fengchun destroyed our Silver Wing Race’s Heaven Beyond Heaven. This blood feud must not be brushed aside!" The Silver-winged Emperor’s features twisted, vicious and ferocious.

Standing in the hall as well, the Silver-winged War God said, "The human race is arrogant. If our Hundred Races Alliance still doesn’t make a move, it’s the same as letting the humans laugh at us. Moreover, if we swallow our anger this time, the humans will definitely push their luck in the future. Next time, who knows which race will face annihilation.

In my opinion, we should act now—march into Cangzhou and slaughter everything!"

The Hundred Spirits Emperor said blandly, "Within ten years, we will not enter Cangzhou... This is the Great Dao Oath I made with Lingxiao."

"Hundred Spirits Emperor, what about the Reincarnation Divine Palace and the Celestial Cauldron Divine Palace? Didn’t they seek cooperation with us? We don’t enter Cangzhou, but they can!" the Silver-winged Emperor shouted.

The Hundred Spirits Emperor shook his head and said, "Don’t forget, whether it’s the Reincarnation Divine Palace or the Celestial Cauldron Divine Palace, they are ultimately made up of humans. Among them, some people still care about the human race."

The Silver-winged War God’s gaze turned icy as he said, "Then let those humans who have defected to us march into Cangzhou!"

"That force is too weak," the Hundred Spirits Emperor said.

The Silver-winged Emperor’s heart was full of unwillingness as he said, "That batch of humans who defected to us may indeed be lacking in strength, but dealing with Cangzhou’s Ye Chen is more than enough. As long as we take Ye Chen, Shi Fengchun will definitely show himself.

We kill Shi Fengchun first, and when the time is right, we’ll use the lives of the entire Cangzhou Human Race as a blood sacrifice for our race’s Warriors!"

"Ye Chen is no longer in Cangzhou. I just received word that in order to avoid the Original Heaven and some Reincarnators and Parasites, he is now in seclusion at the main hall of the True Martial Hall."

The Hundred Spirits Emperor said, "Silver-winged Emperor, withdraw for now. Calm down and then think of a countermeasure. The Hundred Races Alliance will not ignore the Silver Wing Race’s matter; we just need to find the right opportunity."

The Silver-winged Emperor gnashed his teeth and said, "Hundred Spirits Emperor, I hope the decisions of the Hundred Races Alliance won’t chill my heart!"

With that, the Silver-winged Emperor withdrew from the hall.

The Hundred Spirits Emperor looked at the Silver-winged War God and said, "The Hundred Spirits Race will help your Silver Wing Race rebuild a Heaven Beyond Heaven. The Silver Wing Race will merge into the Hundred Spirits Race as a vassal. Are you willing?"

The Silver-winged War God’s eyes flickered.

Right now, the Hundred Races Alliance was a mutual cooperation.

Becoming a vassal would be another matter entirely.

However...

The Silver-winged War God immediately knelt and bowed to the Hundred Spirits Emperor, saying, "Many thanks, Hundred Spirits Emperor!"

So what if they became a vassal?

Without the Hundred Spirits Race, the Silver Wing Race would never become strong again.

Moreover.

The Hundred Spirits Emperor had deliberately sent the Silver-winged Emperor away; the meaning behind this was already very clear.

The Hundred Spirits Emperor smiled faintly and said, "I will help you gain the support of the remaining Silver Wing Race powerhouses. Once we find Shi Fengchun’s whereabouts, I’ll take you to kill him together. At that time, your prestige will crush the Silver-winged Emperor’s, and everything that follows will naturally fall into place."

Just as the Hundred Spirits Emperor finished speaking.

All of a sudden.

A tremendous boom sounded not far outside the hall.

The Hundred Spirits Emperor’s expression changed, and his figure flashed as he rushed out.

He saw that in the collapsing heavens, Shi Fengchun was holding the near-dead Silver-winged Emperor by the throat, his aura wild and overbearing!
