“Master, i-it’s her!!!”
Looking at the head on the tray, Chiba Yos.h.i.+ko was so frightened that even her voice trembled. Her eyes were filled with deep fear.
One of the four Yin Yang Master Clans’ master, Hidemoto Chiho, was dead. Even her head was chopped off.
If she had not seen it with her own eyes, she would never believe that the b.l.o.o.d.y face before her was the same Hidemoto Chiho that forced her way into her body to fight Ye Chen.
Ye Chen was slightly shocked too. He subsequently looked at the three old men before him with an expression not sure if he was smiling, “I didn’t expect you guys to kill your own people!”
“In the words of your country, a man is destined to die. The death is either as important as Mount Tai, or it’s as insignificant as a feather!”
The leading old man smiled lightly, “It’s already against the interests of the Hidemoto clan for Hidemoto Chiho to attack Mad Southern Ye, the China No.1. That’s why the elders took her life in order to apologize to Master Mad Southern Ye!”
He immediately revealed Ye Chen’s true ident.i.ty.
He must have done some investigations before this!
Ye Chen did not accept their kindness. Instead, he smirked coldly, “You want to apologize to me with a mere life? Aren’t you guys naive to be thinking that?”
If one Hidemoto Chiho had died, there would be more Hidemoto Chihos coming. These people were just trying to fool him.
The three old men’s expressions changed when they heard that. A hint of fury flashed in their eyes, but they did not flare up in the end. One of them said, “What else do you want from us, Mad Southern Ye? Tell us!”
“That’s right. As long as it’s something that our Hidemoto clan can provide, we’ll try our best to satisfy you, whether it’s money or women!” The leading old man also nodded.
“I don’t want money or women!”
Ye Chen stood with his hands behind his back. He looked at the three of them in an extremely dignified manner as he enunciated word by word, “I want the foreign fragments, especially all the foreign fragments collected by your Hidemoto clan and the other three Yin Yang Master Clans!”
As soon as he said that, the expressions of the three elders changed. It was as if someone had exposed their secret!
At the same time, the three of them surrounded Ye Chen. They could barely hide the intense killing intent in their eyes!
At that moment, their reactions were completely different from before.
Ye Chen’s expression did not change upon seeing that. He was still standing with his hands behind his back. However, there was a mocking smirk at the corner of his lips.
At the next moment, the leading old man suddenly looked behind him, his lips moved slightly. There was a look of disbelief on his face, as if he was communicating with someone.
After a while, he turned around and looked at Ye Chen. His face was not as cold as before. Instead, he said while smiling, “Lord Mad Southern Ye, it’s not impossible that you want the foreign fragments. However, you’ll have to talk to my lord personally.”
He made an inviting gesture after saying that.
“Sure!”
Ye Chen took a deep look at the shrine. A mysterious smirk flashed through his eyes.
Under the trio’s lead, Ye Chen and Chiba Yos.h.i.+ko soon entered a room that was connected from north to south. There were various statues hanging on the walls.
Boom…
Almost at that moment, the wall that was facing Ye Chen suddenly retracted, revealing a pa.s.sage that allowed people to enter. It was pitch black inside the pa.s.sage, and one could not see the end. It seemed like there was a cloud of black mist inside.
“My lord is inside. You may enter!”
The leading old man smiled and gestured, his eyes were flickering.
Sensing the unusualness of the three men, Chiba Yos.h.i.+ko stopped him by instinct, “Master, don’t go in. There might be traps!”
“The door is right here. Whether you enter or not, it’s up to you.”
The leading old man smiled faintly, “If you have your doubts, you can stay here and enjoy some vegetarian food.”
“Master…” Chiba Yos.h.i.+ko hesitated.
“Wait for me outside!”
Ye Chen chuckled softly and looked at the three of them not sure what he had in mind. He said, “I believe they wouldn’t dare to hurt you!”
With that, he took a step into the pa.s.sageway.
At that moment, the door slowly closed, turning back into a wall. No one could tell that there was a secret pa.s.sage behind from the outside.
After Ye Chen disappeared, Chiba Yos.h.i.+ko wanted to leave by instinct. However, an old man stopped her.
“Ms. Chiba, your master is still in there. Is it appropriate for you to leave like this?”
Chiba Yos.h.i.+ko’s heart sank, “Move aside. I’ll wait for my master.”
“It’s better to wait inside than out there, Ms. Chiba. You should just wait here!” Another old man said with a plastic smile. His lecherous eyes did not hide anything as he sized up her body.
The other two elders looked at each other, and they could see the slyness in each other’s eyes.
…
Ye Chen, on the other hand, had entered the pa.s.sage.
The first thing that entered his eyes was a large underground palace. There were signs of man-made excavation all around. It was about a hundred square meters wide, and there were countless ghosts and demons carved on the walls. All of them were grimacing and glaring.
There was a drawbridge ahead. The drawbridge was made of metal chains, and it was about 30 meters long. It was wide enough for one person to pa.s.s through. However, there was endless black energy wrapped around it, making it difficult to see clearly.
Below the drawbridge was boiling lava, like boiling water, as if there were countless things struggling in the lava.
Ye Chen did not hesitate and stepped onto the hanging bridge directly. At the same time, he spread his Divine Consciousness with the attempt to find the so-called G.o.d of the Hidemoto clan.
Even though the three of them had concealed it well, how could they deceive Ye Chen? In his opinion, the owner of the Hidemoto clan was not killed by a group of elders. To be precise, she was killed by this mysterious G.o.d.
Just as he stepped onto the drawbridge, a faint drumming sound came from all directions, as if someone was beating a drum.
As he advanced, the sound of the drum became stronger and stronger. Eventually, it turned into a force that could topple mountains and overturn seas. It was like spears pierced in a forest, and ten thousand horses were galloping.
“Is that the sound of the Ravenous Wolf Army and the Seven Kills Army?” Ye Chen’s calm expression finally turned serious.
He was very familiar with the sound.
It was the two armies he had personally created when he had become the Heavenly G.o.d in the Immortal World. Each army had 100,000 Heavenly Soldiers.
The Ravenous Wolf Army and Seven Kills were his two most deadly weapons. They had fought for him in wars, suppressed hundreds of tribes, and conquered countless Immortal Worlds and borders.
Unknowingly, an extremely tragic scene of a battlefield appeared before Ye Chen’s eyes.
On an extremely wide stretch of land, there were many carriages and horses. There were tens of thousands of soldiers and sabers lying in ambush. Murderous auras filled the air, and the neighing of horses, battle cries, and endless screams could be heard.
Countless corpses hovered in the sky like a living h.e.l.l.
“Kill!”
The man in golden armor slashed his opponent like a G.o.d. Ignoring the fresh blood on his face, he turned around and kneeled before Ye Chen while cupping his fists.
“Your Majesty, the rebels have cut off our escape route. The Demon World, Evil World, and Buddha World are still increasing their forces. You should leave first. I will lead the Ravenous Wolf Army to cover the retreat!”
Ye Chen could not help but take two steps back, “Ravenous Wolf Army’s leading Heavenly King, Li Wenyao?”
He subconsciously looked at himself and realized that he was wearing a crown, a golden dragon robe, and dragon boots.
There were hundreds of soldiers who were covered in blood and wearing black masks around him. These people were protecting him in full loyalty.
Ye Chen’s expression changed immediately, “The Royal Guards?!”
