Chapter 899: Chapter 898 [I, Ye Tianchen, Have Arrived!]

Ye Tianchen slightly prepared and was ready to leave the Heavenly Pit to go to the Flame Valley. Whether Dongfang Meng was really there, or if someone else had already set a trap for his life, he, Ye Tianchen, was determined to go for it, knowing it’s a dragon’s lair or a tiger’s cave. For the sake of rescuing Dongfang Meng, he would face any danger bravely!

”It’s too dangerous for you to go like this!” Tianshuang looked at Ye Tianchen and said.

”I must go, no matter how dangerous it is.” Ye Tianchen said resolutely.

”Boss, let me accompany you. Even if there’s a trap, we can look out for each other and won’t be easily outsmarted.” Hu Gao said seriously.

”It’s rare for you to talk so seriously like this?” Ye Tianchen said with a relaxed smile.

”Boss, there’s no time for jokes. I’ll accompany you and cover for you to rescue.” Hu Gao said solemnly.

”Forget it, didn’t I tell you last night? You have a more important task, which is to go to the entrance of the Song Mountain Ancient Martial World and bring back all eight brothers I took, not missing a single one. If even one is missing, I’ll hold you accountable.” Ye Tianchen said to Hu Gao while shaking his head.

”Boss...” Hu Gao wanted to persuade him a few more sentences but was interrupted by Ye Tianchen.

”If you still consider me your boss, then listen to me. Bring all eight of my other brothers here without missing one. When I come back, I want to see that they are all safe and sound.” Ye Tianchen interrupted Hu Gao.

Tianshuang glanced at Ye Tianchen, seeing that his mind was made up. She understood that Ye Tianchen was going alone to avoid putting any of them in danger, not wanting them to face any life-threatening risks because of him.

But this journey was extremely perilous this time. It’s obvious that the opponents dared to shout out such words, indicating they have absolute confidence. Once Ye Tianchen goes, it’s surely a deadly outcome. At Flame Valley, strong opponents and countless traps were waiting for Ye Tianchen. As the saying goes, two fists cannot rival four hands. No matter how skilled Ye Tianchen was, with his current cultivation level, he couldn’t yet claim dominance in the Earth Ancient Martial World. There were still those who could counter him. Plus, this event had spread across the three major Ancient Martial Worlds. As a martial artist, no one was unaware that Ye Tianchen would go to Flame Valley before sunset today. Some were watching for fun, but most wanted to take the opportunity to kill Ye Tianchen and seize his treasure. Thinking about it felt terrifying, not to mention actually going there.

However, Tianshuang also understood the affection between Ye Tianchen and Dongfang Meng. Without Dongfang Meng, Ye Tianchen wouldn’t have become a martial artist and wouldn’t have his current cultivation realm. They even practiced dual cultivation of the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture. Although it was then due to an urgent situation, Ye Tianchen was not a person who shirked responsibility. His feelings for Dongfang Meng were indeed different. So no matter how dangerous or threatening it might be ahead, Ye Tianchen was determined to go. He wouldn’t just stand by and watch Dongfang Meng suffer.

”I know your mind is made up, and I won’t stop you. Take this treasure with you; it was obtained by my master years ago in Flame Valley, and I hope it can help you!” Tianshuang said as she handed a palm-sized gourd to Ye Tianchen.

”This is...” Ye Tianchen was stunned for a moment, as it was the first time he had seen Tianshuang take out this gourd.

”This gourd is called the Fire God Gourd. It was obtained by my master in Flame Valley back then and can swallow the Divine Fire in Flame Valley. If I hadn’t been critically injured at that time, with the protection of this Fire God Gourd when you entered the Fire Dragon Pond, you wouldn’t have faced near-death situations.” Tianshuang said while looking at Ye Tianchen.

”Fire God Gourd, you mean this gourd can even absorb the Red Lotus Karma Fire?” Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but ask.

”I haven’t tried, but take it with you, it might be useful. The Divine Fire in Flame Valley, although not as powerful as the demonic nature of the Red Lotus Karma Fire, is not something an ordinary person can handle. If one is touched by this Divine Fire, they would instantly be reduced to ashes. You must be extremely cautious.” Tianshuang warned with concern.

”Thank you!” Ye Tianchen accepted the Fire God Gourd and nodded in gratitude.

Tianshuang’s willingness to hand the sect’s treasure, the Fire God Gourd, to Ye Tianchen showed the depth of their friendship. After experiencing so much and spending so much time together, there’s no need to say more; they were life-and-death friends.

After giving Ye Tianchen the Fire God Gourd, Tianshuang immediately taught Ye Tianchen the method to wield it. She also informed Ye Tianchen that if he truly couldn’t defeat the enemy or found himself in extreme danger, he could rush into the depths of Flame Valley. With the Fire God Gourd protecting him, it should help him survive and find a way to escape.

Flame Valley, as the name suggests, was a gorge engulfed in raging flames, burning for tens of thousands of years without exhaustion. Some said they were Demon Fires; others said they were Divine Fires. What kind of flames they truly were, no one knew. Anyone who encountered the Flame Valley’s Fire Seed was instantly reduced to ashes. Even the Late Martial Venerate level experts could only advance a hundred meters into Flame Valley. To reach the center, they couldn’t withstand the scorching flames.

”It’s getting late. I’m leaving!” Ye Tianchen said to Tianshuang and Hu Gao.

”Boss...”

”Tianchen...”

”Don’t worry, I will come back safely, and I’ll bring Dongfang Meng with me. By the way, don’t let Ruotong do any divination, and you all don’t try to divine any news about me, to avoid worrying even more.” Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

”You should say a few words to these villagers; they all think of you as family.” Tianshuang’er looked back and said.

Ye Tianchen turned around and looked at the villagers of Desolate Stone Village behind him. He felt touched and somewhat guilty, and at the same time secretly warned himself that such dangerous things must never happen again, and he must not let them face threats to their lives again. This time they lost their homes, and if next time they lose their lives, Ye Tianchen wouldn’t know what to do.

”Everyone, rest assured, I, Ye Tianchen, will return alive and will choose a better place to rebuild our home for everyone. We are one family.” Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

”Brother Ye, from now on, all the villagers of Desolate Stone Village will pray sincerely here for your safe return. We will not leave until you come back.” Grandpa Shi, the old village chief, said seriously.

”Master, can you take me with you?” Little Shitou looked at Ye Tianchen with a pleading expression and asked.

”No, work hard on your cultivation, the day will come when you all will go out and explore the world. Don’t be in a hurry.” Ye Tianchen shook his head and said.

Zhang Ruotong walked step by step toward Ye Tianchen, her face a bit pale. When she reached Ye Tianchen, she said, ”Take this with you, it will be useful in a critical moment.”

”This is...” Ye Tianchen took the small black bottle handed to him by Zhang Ruotong and asked.

”Don’t ask, just take it. Open it when it’s crucial.” Zhang Ruotong said and then turned to leave.

Ye Tianchen glanced at Zhang Ruotong’s departing figure, then looked at everyone present, raised his head to glance at the sky, and disappeared from the sight of Tianshuang’er and others. When leaving, Ye Tianchen was not worried about someone coming to harm the villagers of Desolate Stone Village by distraction. First, this place is absolutely safe. Second, Tianshuang’er is here, although she is not as powerful as Divine Calculation, she can foresee some misfortunes. Third, the formation, the invisible formation here was established by Shi Hu, the guardian of Desolate Stone Village, in earlier years, and it possesses powerful divine effects making it hard for ordinary people to find or break through.

After rushing out of the Heavenly Pit, Ye Tianchen sped toward Flame Valley without any pause or concealment, revealing his true identity. This was his spirit, his courage, his indomitable spirit.

At this moment, hundreds of martial arts experts had already gathered around Flame Valley to watch the excitement, and among these onlookers, some surely harbored murderous intent. If given the chance and strength, they would definitely attack Ye Tianchen because the treasures on Ye Tianchen were too tempting, making anyone’s heart move.

”It’s almost dusk, is that boy Ye Tianchen scared and doesn’t dare to come?”

”I don’t know, but logically, since this boy entered the Ancient Martial World, he has shown courage and spirit that is admirable, feared neither heaven nor earth, and with his relationship with Dongfang Meng, it is impossible for him to stand idly by and watch Dongfang Meng lose her life.”

”Not necessarily, this time is undoubtedly different from anything he encountered before. It’s still unclear who kidnapped Dongfang Meng, and if it’s the Blood Killing Organization, then it’s dangerous. The Blood Killing Organization has a strong heritage and a terrifyingly long history. If they dare to blatantly lure Ye Tianchen here, they must be fully prepared with many strong individuals and countless traps. Whoever comes is doomed to die.”

”Hmph, I think Ye Tianchen is afraid of dying. Everyone fears death at some point. Knowing that there are experts lurking here to kill him, yet he still dares to come? Isn’t that foolish?”

”Even a person with deep affection and righteousness can’t disregard his own life. In the end, Ye Tianchen is still young and can’t compete with these big forces. If he dares to come here today, there’s no way he will leave alive. He’s too scared to come!”

”That’s right, we should leave. We initially thought that if we had the chance, we’d also take action to kill that kid and seize the treasures on him. It seems he’s too afraid to come and lacks the courage to do so...”

With a deafening roar, the void was torn apart, and a figure descended from the sky, roaring as if swallowing thunder and lightning:

”I, Ye Tianchen, have arrived!” (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets on Qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
