Chapter 938: Something Happened
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ten seconds pa.s.sed, and Ye s.h.i.tian’s name jumped to the 800th place, and it showed no signs of stopping.
This was something that had never happened on the Heaven’s Declaration rankings.
The surrounding cultivators all had extremely horrified expressions, and they stared at the stone tablet with widened eyes like statues!
“What the h.e.l.l is going on? Who is Ye s.h.i.tian? How is he climbing the ranks so quickly?!” A young man wearing a long robe and holding a folding fan exclaimed. The folding fan in his hand also fell to the ground because of shock.
“Could it be that Ye s.h.i.tian killed a powerful person?”
“No, why do I feel that this name is a little familiar? I think I have heard it somewhere before. Let me think…”
“I think I’ve seen it in the spirit newspapers in the Kunlun Mountains.”
Someone took out a thick stack of newspapers and flipped through them one by one.
At this moment, a long-haired young man walked over, his eyes fixed on Ye s.h.i.tian’s name. He said, “There’s no need to look for his name. Ye s.h.i.tian is the mysterious expert whose name has been spreading through rumors recently. We don’t know his cultivation level or his strength, but what we do know is that he controls divine lightning, a divine dragon, and powerful flames.”
“Every time Ye s.h.i.tian appears, at least one sect will be destroyed. I heard that the Blood Alliance and many other forces were destroyed by him.”
“Also, not too long ago, a mighty expert descended upon the Kunlun Mountains and warned the Dao Sect that no one was allowed to touch Ye s.h.i.tian. She even took him in as a disciple!”
The long-haired young man’s explanation instantly jogged everyone’s memories.
“Whoa! Ye s.h.i.tian was that person?”
“Didn’t he disappear for quite some time? This time, he is targeting the Heaven’s Declaration rankings?”
“More importantly, how can he jump so many ranks at once? He’s already reached the 750th rank! F*ck! What kind of f*cking monster is this?”
Everyone was terrified as they stared at the stone tablet.
Fortunately, the name finally stopped and stabilized at 727.
This number did not seem to be ordinary, but the Heaven’s Declaration included all of the old monsters in its ranking as well!
There were not many who could enter the top 800 in their twenties!
More importantly, no one had ever jumped to the 700th place within such a short time. It was simply unheard of!
The people looked up at the stone tablet with fear in their eyes.On the other hand, Ye Chen’s appearance on the rankings paled in comparison at the 912th rank.
If the people present knew that Ye s.h.i.tian and Ye Chen were the same person, their expressions would have probably been even more exaggerated.
In the pavilion, the two elders had already stood up, and were frowning.
“What is Ye s.h.i.tian’s background? Which sect is he from?” the old woman asked curiously.
The old man from the Blessed Cemetery shook his head. “I’ve heard of Ye s.h.i.tian a few times. He’s extremely mysterious. It’s said that he’s from Huaxia. As for the specific details, I don’t know.”
“Forget it. Although Ye s.h.i.tian is heaven-defying, he can’t change the overall situation. There’s still one and a half years left before the hundred-year deadline. I wonder who will be able to shoulder the responsibility this time, or will they just accept the adversity again? Sigh, it should be the latter. The leaders of the Kunlun Mountains are no longer as courageous as before. They only fear the unknown. They will forever forget how powerful the mighty experts of the Kunlun Mountains were in ancient times…”
When the old woman heard this, her eyes were filled with loneliness. She stretched out her hand and patted the old man. “Forget it. Some things are beyond our control. Isn’t the Han family organizing a meeting today? I wonder which young talents will enter the Blood Spirit secret realm this time. The Blood Spirit secret realm is getting stronger year by year. Last time, 80 people died. This time, I’m afraid that more than 100 people will die. However, if we don’t become stronger inside, the end will still be the same.”
After the two elders finished speaking, they shook their heads and returned to their chairs. They closed their eyes as if they no longer cared about anything.
“We’re old, so we won’t get involved…”
…
At the same time, the Mo family’s entourage was still half an hour away from the Han family’s territory.
The carriage was extremely quiet.
Ye Chen closed his eyes as continued to circulate the Nine Heaven Arcane Sun technique. He realized that this cultivation technique was surprisingly effective in refining his body.
Body refinement and spiritual cultivation were two completely different things, but the Nine Heaven Arcane Sun technique was very inclusive.
At this moment, the entourage stopped.
“What happened?” Ye Chen opened his eyes and looked at Ye Lingtian outside.
Ye Lingtian’s expression was odd. “Hall Master, it’s nothing major. We just found a few corpses up ahead.”
“Oh.”
Ye Chen nodded and ignored him.
When the Mo family’s experts had cleared the corpses blocking their way, the group continued to move forward.
However, just as the group pa.s.sed the few corpses that had been removed, Ye Chen sensed something, and his eyes shot in a certain direction!
In his line of sight was a b.l.o.o.d.y corpse. However, it was not the corpse itself that caught his attention, but rather something in the corpse’s pocket.
There was something wrapped in a plastic bag,
There were exquisite cartoon pictures on it, as well as the name of Huaxia’s Tianhe Province High-Tech Food Processing Factory!
It was not strange for Huaxia items to appear in the Kunlun Mountains.
However, there could only be one possibility for this type of item to appear here.
Ji Lin!
This was because these snacks were one of the snacks he had given Ji Lin back then!
Without hesitation, Ye Chen lifted the carriage’s curtain with one hand and left in a flash. Sensing this, the Mo family’s group stopped.
Mo Weihai looked at Ye Chen curiously. He made a gesture to hold position and then rode his mount toward Ye Chen.
“Mr. Ye, what’s wrong? Do you know these victims?”
“Judging from the injuries on their bodies, they should have been killed by a single sword strike. Although their methods weren’t brutal, they were overwhelmingly stronger than the other side.”
Ye Chen did not say anything. He took out the bag of candy from one of their pockets, and his fingers formed a seal. Scarlet light surrounded his palm, gradually enveloping the bag of candy.
A few images appeared in front of Ye Chen’s eyes intermittently.
Due to his limited strength, he could see some images of Ji Lin, but he could not see the expert who had attacked.
It should be that those experts had far surpa.s.sed her strength. His gaze turned heavy.
From the images, he could deduce that something must have happened to Ji Lin. As for whether she was still alive, it was unknown.
His technique could not even determine the origins of the attackers.
“d.a.m.n it!”
Ye Chen’s fist smashed into the ground, instantly creating a deep pit.
Ji Lin and Ji Siqing were both his benefactors, so he could not just leave them in the lurch.
At this moment, he had a few doubts in his heart.
Ji Lin should be together with the Sky Mist Sect members, so why was she alone out here?
