Supreme Sword God

Chapter 998: Chapter 997: Departure, Divine Mirror Island

Earlier, Bai Yi was almost split in half.

After Bai Yi escaped, he was ruthlessly beaten by a gang of robbers from the Seventy-Two Islands.

Moreover, Ye Chen now possesses the root of the Soldier Character Secret, and even though he hasn’t started to fully understand it yet, he can still exert some power. Based on this, he upgraded the Infinite Star Sword Array to the level of forty-nine holy swords.

Cutting down Bai Yi was an easy task.

Ye Chen’s nonchalant attitude left the surrounding robbers amazed and bewildered.

Forty-nine holy swords at once...

Young Master is so generous!

To be able to manipulate forty-nine holy swords and form a sword array is simply unbelievable!

You must know that those who have not reached the Saint Realm mostly struggle to wield holy weapons.

Even some top-tier geniuses who haven’t reached the Saint Realm can barely wield one holy weapon.

Even the top talents within the Saint Realm can only wield three to five holy weapons at best, and more than that would be beyond their ability.

But Ye Chen...

Was able to wield forty-nine holy swords effortlessly, with intricate and ever-changing sword formations!

"Young Master Ye."

Mei the Third Aunt and Old Wang quickly flew to Ye Chen.

"We thought something happened to you; seems it was just a false alarm," Old Wang said with a smile.

Mei the Third Aunt said, "As long as nothing happened, otherwise we wouldn’t know how to explain it when we return."

Although this was the first time they had seen Ye Chen, all the robbers were exceptionally friendly.

"Young Master Ye, you’re really handsome, hahaha. If you came to our place, both the women and the men would definitely adore you."

"People say that those of us from the Seventy-Two Islands are all rough and use wild methods in fights. But with Young Master Ye’s sword array in Seventy-Two Islands, who would dare say we only use brute force?!"

"Young Master Ye, come, come, come to my Dali Island for a visit. My daughter has a strong resemblance with you; if you were to become a couple, it would surely be a beautiful tale!"

"What are you going to do in Dali Island? A real man should come to my Menghan Island, eat meat in big bites, drink wine in big gulps, isn’t that delightful? Women are just burdens, what are they good for?"

"Boom!" Mei the Third Aunt struck, sending the Island Master of Menghan Island flying.

"Young Master Ye, don’t pay attention to them," Mei the Third Aunt said.

Ye Chen nodded, cupped his hands to the present robbers, and smiled, "I am but a young man, and I am honored to receive such generosity from the Island Masters.

However, I have some matters to attend to for now, so I won’t be going to Seventy-Two Islands. Once things are settled, I will certainly visit the Island Masters."

The Seventy-Two Islands was a power left behind by my mother.

Currently, the Seventy-Two Islands are quite influential in the Celestial Burial Sea, but compared to the Ten Thousand Islands Sect and the Inner Sea Three Alliances, there’s a significant gap, so I can’t rely entirely on Seventy-Two Islands.

Furthermore, the Battling Monk hasn’t shown up, so I chose not to disturb his plans by going to Seventy-Two Islands for now.

"Alright, Young Master Ye, since it’s inconvenient for you now, we won’t insist."

"Then we will remain in Seventy-Two Islands, always ready to welcome Young Master Ye."

"Young Master Ye, you can really consider my daughter; she’s the type that can easily birth nine treasures at once!"

Mei the Third Aunt shot these rough people a glare, then said, "Young Master Ye, Li Chunfeng from the Ten Thousand Islands Sect..."

Ye Chen interrupted directly, "There’s no point in killing him. The Seventy-Two Islands can use his life to exchange for the hostage. Also, there’s something I need to tell Elder Mei, the God Stone that Bai Yi took from you is now with me..."

But Mei the Third Aunt didn’t wait for Ye Chen to finish, saying, "Young Master Ye just keep it. We don’t understand the God Stone anyway, and since you have the potential to be a Celestial-tier Divine Appraiser, the God Stone has greater significance in your hands."

Ye Chen said, "Thank you, Elder Mei."

That piece of God Stone belonged to a Celestial-tier Divine Appraiser in the Celestial Burial Sea, and it might contain preserved life with great significance!

Very soon.

Ye Chen parted ways with the robbers of the Seventy-Two Islands and found Bai Kai, the Body Alliance Great Guardian.

Bai Kai also sighed for Aurora Island’s predicament.

From today onwards.

Aurora Island is just a shell of its former self.

Outsiders only know Aurora Island’s downfall was perpetrated by the Seventy-Two Islands, but only Bai Kai knows that Ye Chen played a crucial role in it.

"Great Guardian, my apologies." Ye Chen said.

Bai Kai waved his hand, saying, "Aurora Island’s downfall is entirely deserved, and since the Bai Family hasn’t been completely wiped out, this is already the best outcome."

Considering the Seventy-Two Islands’ usual behavior, having confronted Aurora Island yet not exterminated them entirely, Bai Kai knew well that this was Ye Chen helping from behind the scenes, giving him face!

About half an hour later, Ye Chen and Bai Kai left Aurora Island together.

Before.

Ye Chen briefly visited Aurora Island’s forbidden grounds, intending to leave with Elder Gui, but found Elder Gui was gone.

As for his martial uncle Liu Mubai, he had also left.

Before leaving, he even had a verbal spat with Ye Chen.

......

Sports Alliance Headquarters.

Ye Chen and Bai Kai had just returned.

A loud voice rang in Ye Chen’s ear.

It buzzed Ye Chen’s head dizzy.

Bai Kai noticed and said, "The Alliance Leader must have urgent business with you, better go quickly."

Ye Chen: ???

"Great Guardian, how do you know the Alliance Leader sent me a message?"

Bai Kai: "... The Alliance Leader often has a loud voice when messaging, so... you see it enough, you naturally guess."

Ye Chen was speechless.

He’d encountered quite a few Great Emperors.

The least proper one was the Celestial Cauldron Emperor of the Body Alliance.

Soon after, Ye Chen appeared before the Celestial Cauldron Emperor.

"How were your gains from Aurora Island this time?" The Celestial Cauldron Emperor glanced at Ye Chen and asked.

Ye Chen remained silent.

The Celestial Cauldron Emperor snorted coldly.

Ye Chen: "Great Emperor, please forgive me, my ears were buzzing earlier, I didn’t hear."

Celestial Cauldron Emperor’s habit of loudly sending messages shouldn’t be encouraged!

The Celestial Cauldron Emperor’s eyes widened like a bull.

Ye Chen: "I wonder what the Great Emperor’s reason for calling me is?"

The Celestial Cauldron Emperor suddenly laughed, saying, "You are quite interesting, becoming braver. I heard you’ve acquired the Aurora Sword Dao legacy?"

Ye Chen: "It’s just a small technique, didn’t expect the Great Emperor to know even this."

"The Aurora Sword Dao is not a minor technique. Bai Jiguang used to be renowned throughout the Celestial Burial Sea, although... the history behind Aurora Sword Dao might be very intricate, you have to be careful. Come to me immediately if there’s any issue."

Ye Chen kept his expression unchanged, asking, "Does the Great Emperor know any secrets?"

"Bai Jiguang might have a link to the Nine Celestial Burial Coffins. Just be careful, that’s all I know. This time I sent you to Aurora Island intending for you to assist Liu Mubai, but you made quite a display."

Ye Chen smiled awkwardly, saying, "I’m actually very low-key..."

"Hmm, I know. If you weren’t low-key, probably gossip would be raging everywhere now, saying you have deep ties with the Seventy-Two Islands."

Previously, the Celestial Cauldron Emperor suspected Ye Chen had ties with the Seventy-Two Islands, and based on the events at Aurora Island, he could guess some things.

"The Great Emperor seeking me shouldn’t be merely about this minor issue?" Ye Chen asked.

The Celestial Cauldron Emperor nodded, saying, "In about a month, I’ll take you to the Divine Mirror Island for a spin."

Ye Chen knew the Divine Mirror Island; it was the biggest gathering place for God stones in the Celestial Burial Sea.

"Great Emperor, I only know a bit about God stones."

The Celestial Cauldron Emperor laughed, saying, "No worries. There’s one month left. I caught a top-tier Earth-tier Divine Appraiser for you to learn from. In one month, you must at least reach the Earth-tier Divine Appraiser level, so that when we go to the Divine Mirror Island, you can help me earn some reputation."

All along, the Body Alliance has been weak in this area.

Now that they have a promising talent like Ye Chen, the Celestial Cauldron Emperor is eager to make a show!
