Supreme Sword God

Chapter 988: Chapter 987: Threats, The Situation Under Control

"What does the Angel Burial want from me?" Ye Chen asked.

The situation is unclear now, and since he can’t win in a fight, it’s best to talk things through first!

"The Ninth Generation Coffin sent someone to find you, right?"

Ye Chen: "Indeed."

"You agreed to the Ninth Generation Coffin’s conditions?"

Ye Chen: "..."

That sinister old thing from the Ninth Generation Coffin sent someone over, exchanged a few words, but there weren’t any real conditions.

"I’m still considering them." Ye Chen’s expression was calm, with no internal fluctuations.

No matter what the conditions are, he can’t let his guard down!

The plump man smiled and said, "No need to consider, just agree."

Ye Chen: "Why?"

The plump man: "If you don’t agree, I can take your life right now."

Ye Chen: "You’re working for the Sixth Generation Coffin, could it be that you’re actually someone from the Ninth Generation Coffin?"

The plump man snorted coldly, "Your skills aren’t that great, but your courage is substantial."

Ye Chen was convinced that the other party wouldn’t easily make a move against him; otherwise, he wouldn’t have helped kill the old thing from Celestial Child Divine Island just now. With confidence, he calmly said, "Then at least let me understand the situation?"

"In the future, anything the Ninth Generation Coffin asks you to do, report to me first."

Ye Chen immediately understood.

The Sixth Generation Coffin wants him to act as a spy inside the Ninth Generation Coffin for him!

It seems that there’s discord among the Celestial Burial Coffins!

A fly doesn’t bite a seamless egg, the Nine Celestial Burial Coffins have seams...

Bah!

I’m not a fly!

Ye Chen withdrew his thoughts, saying, "This matter is very risky..."

Whether he does it or not, he must get the benefits first.

"You’ve got guts, honestly, I quite admire you. Rest assured, if you handle things well, you won’t be mistreated. It’s possible to even give you a complete divine corpse." The plump man said.

Ye Chen didn’t trust such empty promises at all, saying, "My current strength is insignificant, with many enemies in the Celestial Burial Sea. What if I get killed... Even if I want to help you, I’d need to stay alive to do so, right?"

The plump man sneered and said, "Before getting things done, you won’t get any benefits. If you’re killed by others, that’s your business. To us, you’re dispensable.

Additionally, if you still want to haggle, I don’t mind letting everyone outside die first. Don’t doubt if I have this capability."

Ye Chen showed a slight smile on his face, saying, "Fine, I’ll help you with your affairs; just don’t forget to reward me when it’s done."

"Smart move." The plump man casually tossed a token to Ye Chen, saying, "When the people from the Ninth Generation Coffin come to you, leave the content in the token using Spiritual Power. We will know and, upon confirmation, someone will deliver your reward to you.

However...

Let me speak plainly first.

If you dare have any ulterior motives, no matter where you hide, you won’t have a place to die peacefully."

After saying this, the plump man’s figure directly vanished as if he had never appeared.

Ye Chen clutched his fist tightly inside his sleeve, his eyes filled with an extremely intense murderous intent.

At this moment.

The Body Alliance Great Guardian Bai Kai, trapped in the void, rushed out.

"Are you okay?"

Bai Kai looked at Ye Chen with full concern.

This journey out with Ye Chen had been nerve-wracking, with one unusual event after another!

Ye Chen: "I’m fine, just exhausted after cutting down Ming Yue, so I sat here to meditate."

About the Sixth Celestial Burial Coffin Envoy, Ye Chen didn’t mention a word.

Bai Kai: "Earlier, there was a terrifying powerhouse who made a move and killed that Emperor Realm elder from Celestial Child Divine Island. This isn’t right; when powerhouses of the Great Emperor level arrive in this area, they get sanctioned by the power of the Celestial Burial Coffins..."

Ye Chen: "When it comes to matters concerning the Great Emperor and the Celestial Burial Coffins, guessing is useless. No need to think about it, Great Guardian, let’s just go out and take a look."

Bai Kai glanced at Ye Chen in surprise.

Why is this youngster more composed than me, an experienced Emperor Realm powerhouse?

Bai Kai’s eyes twitched, taking a glance at the empty Sword Pool of the Aurora Island, but he said nothing.

He was a member of the Bai Family of Aurora Island.

But he had long severed all ties with the Bai Family of Aurora Island; this time he came back only on orders from the Celestial Cauldron Emperor to escort Ye Chen.

Moreover, this time Aurora Island brought this upon itself.

Outside the great array of Aurora Island.

The battlefield was directly divided into two main areas.

One area consisted of people from Celestial Child Divine Island who arrived with Ming Yue. Though the number was small, they were all strong, with intense Emperor Realm power fluctuations, clearly indicating a bunch of Emperor Realm powerhouses were in a fierce battle.

Such a situation was rare in the Aurora Island area.

After all, the Nine Celestial Burial Coffins were located in this region.

The people from Celestial Child Divine Island didn’t think they’d fall into the ambush of the Seventy-Two Islands, and the strength displayed by the Seventy-Two Islands was beyond their expectation, showing a resolve to fight to the end.

The other battlefield was led by Bai Yi, the Island Master of Aurora Island, where several island masters of the Seventy-Two Islands led the strong ones to encircle them.

Bai Yi was filled with grief and indignation. He thought everything was under control: that the people from Celestial Child Divine Island would help Aurora Island deal with Mei the Third Aunt from the Seventy-Two Islands, that they could earn the bounty for the manhunt on Ye Chen from Celestial Child Divine Island, and afterward, Aurora Island would remain safe and sound...

But now.

This carefully laid plan was thoroughly shattered!

Where did things go wrong?

No matter how he thinks, he can’t figure it out!

......

"Old Wang!" Ye Chen looked at Old Wang in front of him with surprise.

Ever since they parted in the open sea last time, they hadn’t seen each other again.

Unexpectedly, Old Wang was here today as well.

Old Wang laughed heartily, with a courteous tone: "Young Master Ye, long time no see."

Ye Chen cupped his hands toward Old Wang, thanking him for arranging help in the restricted area against Xue Dingchuan, then turned to Mei the Third Aunt, saying: "Elder Mei, how is the situation?"

Having left Aurora Island, Ye Chen found Mei the Third Aunt. As for the Body Alliance Great Guardian Bai Kai, Ye Chen sent him off with a few words to stay at a distance.

"This time, everything went according to Young Master Ye’s plan, and it went smoothly. Thirteen island masters from our Seventy-Two Islands came, all of whom are in the Emperor Realm. It’s expected to take another half an hour to end the battle."

Ye Chen nodded, saying, "Elder Mei, leave someone from Celestial Child Divine Island alive. Later, bring out Li Chunfeng from the Ten Thousand Islands Sect and accidentally leak some information, like how it was thanks to Li Chunfeng that you achieved such a great victory this time."

Mei the Third Aunt’s eyes sparkled upon hearing this.

Ye Chen further added: "Give Li Chunfeng something important as gratitude, let the remaining survivor from Celestial Child Divine Island see it."

Old Wang: "Really give it?"

Ye Chen: "..."

That’s it, Old Wang is a simpleton too!

"Once the people from Celestial Child Divine Island are gone, just take it back. Anyway, that useless Li Chunfeng is in your hands, he can’t cause any trouble."

Ye Chen explained the plan again.

Old Wang finally understood, excitedly saying: "Young Master Ye, you want to make Celestial Child Divine Island and Ten Thousand Islands Sect fight each other!"

Ye Chen was speechless again.

Isn’t that obvious enough?

Furthermore, that’s what I meant two sentences ago, and Old Wang just realized it now...

Senior brother, Old Tian, Luo Tian, all have hope.

If Old Wang’s brain can reach the Emperor Realm, those other stubborn ones can surely make it too!
