Supreme Sword God

Chapter 889: Chapter 888: Working Together for Big Things

He Xun’s arrogant and rampant expression was undisguised as he laughed loudly, “Yi’an, surprised?”

Yi’an’s gaze shifted back and forth between Zhang Qi and Li Meng, his expression showing discomfort, as if he couldn’t accept the scene, “Zhang Qi, Li Meng, I consider myself sincere with you.

It’s fine if you don’t want to help me for some reason, but you actually…”

Zhang Qi laughed loudly, “Yi’an, you’re actually quite smart, good thing you chose Ye Chen, otherwise, once the bet starts, you would have no one to use, hahaha!”

Li Meng added coldly, “Of course, choosing Ye Chen is almost as useless, someone like Ye Chen, who doesn’t have the slightest discernment, probably wouldn’t even recognize a divine stone if it was right in front of him.”

Yi’an took a deep breath, his face turning pale.

Ye Chen said indifferently, “Brother Yi, why bother to stoop to the level of despicable people? I’ll definitely help you win this bet later.”

“Such big talk.” Zhang Qi shouted, “Aren’t you afraid your tongue might slip in a strong wind? Ye Chen, I really don’t know where you get the courage, at such a critical moment, you still pretend to be calm.”

Li Meng said in a mocking tone, “Just pretending. Once the identification of the divine stones starts, he’ll be exposed.”

He Xun laughed, “Ye Chen, if you don’t want to be so embarrassed, I’ll give you a chance now, you can leave, nothing here concerns you.

Of course, not leaving casually, but crawling out like a dog in front of us.”

Ye Chen stared at He Xun, “Why don’t you teach me?”

He Xun snorted coldly, “You crawl on the ground first, and I’ll tell you how to crawl.”

Ye Chen, “I think you’d better crawl first, after all, judging by how you look, you must know well how to crawl like a dog.”

“Ye Chen!”

He Xun’s anger soared instantly, and he shouted, a strong wave of energy swept out from within him.

He is the top of the ten young elites in this Outer Sea region, his strength indeed quite impressive, already showing signs of entering the Saint Realm.

“He Xun, are you thinking of starting a fight?” Yi’an, looking unpleasant, also got angry, shouting and unleashing the powerful pressure of high-tier Dharma Realm.

Facing the turbulent clash of momentum in the scene, Ye Chen’s expression remained unchanged.

He was well aware.

If it really came to a fight, he wouldn’t be scared.

Even without external aid now, fighting below the Saint Realm wouldn’t be too difficult.

Besides.

A fight wouldn’t happen.

Yi’an and He Xun’s bet is a microcosm of the struggle between two forces on Island No.1, and with the Inner Sea evaluation approaching, a stable environment is needed, neither side’s forces would risk offending the Inner Sea Envoy and engaging in a big fight.

Just as Ye Chen speculated.

Seeing Yi’an and He Xun about to start fighting, a cold snort sounded.

Soon after, an elderly figure flashed into the courtyard.

The elder’s presence spread silently, dissipating the power of Yi’an and He Xun.

“Greetings, Elder Huang.”

Yi’an and He Xun both saluted.

This person was Huang Sheng, the elder of Island No.1.

In the clash between the forces behind Yi’an and He Xun, Huang Sheng maintained neutrality, along with his considerable prestige, hence this bet was presided over by Huang Sheng.

The forces behind Yi’an and He Xun would not show up today.

Huang Sheng nodded, “According to the bet, I will be responsible for maintaining fairness later, no one can falsify or interfere with the results.

If you two have no problems, let’s begin.”

Yi’an cupped his hands, “Thanks to Elder Huang.”

He Xun also saluted, “Elder Huang, then let’s begin.”

Huang Sheng nodded, glanced subtly at Ye Chen, then waved his hand, causing eight variously sized divine stones to float in the air.

“Yi’an, He Xun, these are divine stones you found last time, the Island Master has exchanged two Stone-Cutting Sabers from the Inner Sea for you both to identify the divine stones, and I will cut the stones on-site.

Whomever uncovers the better item wins the bet, and gains all remaining divine stones.”

Huang Sheng reiterated the rules.

As for the power struggles behind the bet, Huang Sheng didn’t mention a word.

……..

Island No.1.

Inside a secret chamber.

The Island Master of Island No.10, Miao Qunfeng, stood respectfully before a suave-looking man.

“Chief Envoy Liu, regarding Fang Cun, I assure you there’s not a shred of falsehood, if Chief Envoy Liu acts and retrieves what Fang Cun stole from the underwater relics, I’m certain it won’t disappoint you.”

Miao Qunfeng’s eyes showed hope.

The person before him, though not particularly powerful.

His potential is undeniable, mastering three paths with outstanding achievements in each, he’s also the prospective son-in-law of the current leader of the Inner Sea Martial Alliance, his future is limitless.

This person was Liu Mubai.

Liu Mubai smiled at Miao Qunfeng, “I’ve noted what you said, I’ll arrange it, if anyone else knows before I act, your life is forfeit first.”

Miao Qunfeng shuddered inside, “Rest assured, Chief Envoy Liu, I certainly won’t pass this information to a second person.”

Liu Mubai nodded, “I heard you have some conflicts with a young man named Ye Chen?”

Miao Qunfeng said, “Ye Chen is just a small figure, not worth mentioning.”

No matter what, as long as Liu Mubai deals with Fang Cun, Miao Qunfeng has countless ways to deal with Ye Chen.

“Small figure…” Liu Mubai’s eyes showed a flash of cold light as he stared at Miao Qunfeng, “If I give you a chance, how would you kill Ye Chen?”

Miao Qunfeng, “….. Chief Envoy Liu, why are you so interested in Ye Chen?”

Liu Mubai snorted coldly, “My business is not for you to question, I only ask if you want to kill Ye Chen?”

Miao Qunfeng nodded, “If it weren’t for Fang Cun and Wu Meng from the Martial Alliance protecting him, Ye Chen would have long been dead by my hand.”

Liu Mubai laughed.

Good.

Old fool, you’re doomed.

Attempting to kill my Junior Nephew? You’re completely done for!

Of course.

I’ll squeeze you first.

So Liu Mubai said, “Ye Chen’s involvement concerns some Inner Sea matters, I’m also eager for him to die, but he can’t be touched now, he must be kept, and will die when I need him to.

If he dies without my orders, I’ll settle accounts with you first.”

Miao Qunfeng said, “Chief Envoy Liu plans to hold Ye Chen’s life as collateral?”

Liu Mubai sneered, “Smart of you.”

Miao Qunfeng quickly bowed, not daring to utter a word.

Liu Mubai continued, “The Martial Alliance has some arrangements, planning to gather manpower from the Outer Sea into the Inner Sea, I see you’re quite good, this opportunity is yours.”

Upon hearing this, Miao Qunfeng was extremely excited.

Liu Mubai continued, “Of course, many people have eyes on this opportunity…”

Miao Qunfeng said, “Rest assured, Chief Envoy Liu, I know what to do, whatever you require, I’ll do my utmost to achieve it.”

Liu Mubai, “All resources of Island No.10.”

Miao Qunfeng gritted his teeth, “Alright, I’ll fetch them from Island No.10 now!”

Liu Mubai, “Be quick, I don’t have that much patience.”

“Yes!” Miao Qunfeng immediately left the chamber, departing from Island No.1.

Inside the chamber.

Liu Mubai murmured, “Brat, didn’t expect you to come so soon, not seeking your rightful uncle, but a phony one… Fine, this way, we can collaborate and pull off something big!”
