Supreme Sword God

Chapter 962: Chapter 961: Laughter from the Coffin, Sword Dao Prodigy

As soon as the power-imprinted avatar of the Celestial Cauldron Emperor appeared, it forcefully resolved the trouble. Although it was just an avatar, its eyes still contained an awe-inspiring brilliance.

"Thank you, Celestial Cauldron Emperor, for stepping in to help," Ye Chen immediately shouted.

One should express gratitude when it’s due.

Even a Great Emperor would certainly appreciate hearing words of thanks when they lend a hand.

Interacting with a Great Emperor is actually no different from interacting with ordinary people as long as you maintain the right mindset.

Ye Chen knew this very well; otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to become a close friend of Emperor Mutian despite the age gap.

Of course.

Whether Emperor Mutian thinks that way... Ye Chen didn’t know, but it didn’t matter much as long as everyone in the Celestial Burial Sea believed it.

"The trouble caused to you within the Sports Alliance, the Alliance will help to resolve, while outside, the Alliance will do its best to help you alleviate any problems. As for you and Bai Kai heading to Aurora Island, be careful. After all, one must grow on their own; you can’t always rely on strong beings to pave the way for you everywhere."

The Celestial Cauldron Emperor said earnestly.

Ye Chen nodded, indicating understanding: "Celestial Cauldron Emperor, the people from the Liu Family are dead, but they must have released information about my whereabouts..."

The implication was that this trouble was also attracted from within the Sports Alliance. Shouldn’t the Celestial Cauldron Emperor step in to resolve it?

The Celestial Cauldron Emperor paused and said, "I have important matters to attend to. I’m leaving now. Bai Kai, take care of Ye Chen’s safety on the road."

With that statement, the power-imprinted avatar of the Celestial Cauldron Emperor dissipated immediately.

Ye Chen: ???

The Celestial Cauldron Emperor’s level isn’t enough; just abandoning it like this...

What does it mean for Bai Kai to decide on Ye Chen’s safety?

Meanwhile, at the Sports Alliance Headquarters.

In front of the Celestial Cauldron Emperor, a rippling water mirror appeared.

In the mirror, the face of the Celestial Blade Emperor appeared.

"Tiandao, are you really done for?"

"I can’t take that step, and the injury from Heaven’s Dao can’t be healed."

"Ye Chen just gave me another piece of Enlightenment Tea; should I bring it to you?"

"No need, Celestial Cauldron; keep it for yourself. If I can’t hold on, over at Martial Alliance, I still need you to keep an eye out."

The Celestial Cauldron Emperor furrowed his brows and said, "Stop talking like that. Don’t give up before the end; that’s not the Xu Tiandao I know!"

The Celestial Blade Emperor showed a relieved smile and said, "Living long enough makes things clearer. If this is my fate, I’ll have to accept it.

Of course, things that need to be done must still be done.

All along, I’ve been restrained, wary of this and fearing that.

Now, I feel more and more of a sense of freedom.

Celestial Cauldron, do you remember what we said. We were young and reckless? I plan to see that place before my life ends!"

The Celestial Cauldron Emperor’s expression showed thick anticipation: "I’ll go with you."

"Forget it, unless one day you’re in my situation as well... Don’t worry, if I unseal the coffin there, I will do my best to leave clues for you about what I see!"

......

Aurora Island.

Brilliant rays of light burst forth from within the island, illuminating the surrounding seas for thousands of miles in a magnificent and illusory manner.

Ye Chen and Bai Kai stood high in the sky, looking at the scene before them, both showing expressions of admiration.

For Bai Kai, this is a return.

For Ye Chen, this is the beginning of the major issues he has to handle in the Celestial Burial Sea. This place is close to the Nine Celestial Burial Coffins, which is the "key" to opening the Celestial Dao Cage and rescuing his mother!

"Great Guardian, does the Bai Family on Aurora Island have any connection with the Nine Celestial Burial Coffins?" Ye Chen finally asked the question he had been holding in his heart.

Bai Kai showed deep apprehension and said, "Remember, the words you just mentioned must never be brought up again.

A Great Emperor coming here will face sanctions.

Those in the Emperor Realm will also be under strict surveillance, and any slight overstep could lead to their instant obliteration.

Even those below the Emperor Realm, talking too much about those words could lead to immeasurable and serious consequences.

As for whether the Bai Family is related to those words, I can’t answer you because I was once just an insignificant waste in the Bai Family."

Seeing Bai Kai’s extreme avoidance of those four words, Ye Chen also refrained from speaking further.

Seeing it this way, asking would be in vain—it’s better to explore by himself.

At this moment.

Not far from Aurora Island, in a place shrouded in terrifying pressure, one of the nine floating coffins suddenly trembled slightly.

Inside the coffin.

A figure who had been moving continuously in the darkness stopped.

"That brat actually came here..."

"Now this is interesting."

"The stagnant situation can finally be broken."

Ye Chen has arrived.

Familiar with Ye Chen, he knew well Ye Chen’s ability to cause turmoil!

Wherever Ye Chen is, there can be no peace.

Only by stirring the waters can the original situation be broken and a new world created!

"Listen up, you eight guys. I plan to choose one person as my eyes. Let me warn you first, if anyone competes with me, don’t blame me for being impolite."

The figure in the coffin suddenly spoke, conversing with the other eight coffins.

"Choose your own; we’ve already made our choices long ago and aren’t interested in your affair."

"You returned the last; now there may not be enough time for a layout. Should I send someone to you?"

"Finally feeling anxious, huh? You resisted the call and refused to return."

The ninth coffin let out a cold snort: "So many useless words, do you think I’d treat you as mutes if you didn’t speak?"

The voice carried intense anger, like a state of burning anxiety.

In fact, the figure in the coffin had a smile on his lips.

Words have been spoken... just waiting for the show to begin.

"Ye Chen, you have never disappointed me before; hopefully, our tacit understanding remains!"

......

"Boom!"

The brilliant light around Aurora Island shook, and then several figures shot out from within the island.

The leader, one old man, looked at Bai Kai and Ye Chen, speaking in a cold voice: "Aurora Island cannot receive outsiders these days; both of you should return to where you came from, no escorting."

Bai Kai stared at the old man and said, "Bai Xiong, no need to play dumb here; you know very well who I am. I’m also a member of the Bai Family on Aurora Island, not an outsider!"

The old man named Bai Xiong sneered, "I wondered who it was, turns out it’s the former good-for-nothing. I heard you’re doing well as the Celestial Cauldron Emperor’s lackey in the Alliance. What, now you want to return in glory and show off?"

At that moment.

Another old woman flew out from the island, kindly and amiable. Seeing Bai Kai, tears immediately flowed in her eyes.

"Big brother... you’ve finally returned!"

Bai Kai nodded, his voice somewhat choked: "Third sister, I’m back!"

"As long as you’re back!" The old woman’s body trembled with excitement, then glared at Bai Xiong: "Bai Xiong, my brother has returned; if you dare block the way, don’t blame me for being impolite."

Bai Xiong snorted: "Bai Kai may be the shame of Aurora Island, but he is indeed a member of the Bai Family. I can allow him entry, but I haven’t heard of Bai Kai having offspring, so the one accompanying him cannot enter the island!"

Before Bai Kai or the old woman could respond, Ye Chen spoke: "I heard that as long as one is a Sword Dao prodigy, even if not from the Bai Family, they can enter the island."

The young man behind Bai Xiong laughed mockingly: "What, are you trying to tell us you’re a Sword Dao prodigy? A brat who doesn’t know his own weight, do you think you can bear the title of Sword Dao prodigy?"

"Swoosh!"

In the next moment, Ye Chen drew his sword, pointing it at the young man who spoke: "Come on, try it."
