Supreme Sword God

Chapter 270: Chapter 269: Meeting the Parents Already?

After Ye Chen emerged from the fragmented space of the ancient battlefield, he learned that Vice Dean He Dong from Cangxing Martial Arts Academy had gone to the Imperial Palace. He then plunged directly into the cultivation room in his own quarters.

Next up.

Ye Chen had many things he wanted to do, but for now, he hadn’t had the opportunity to act, and he also needed to make some preparations.

During the personal competition of the Grand Tournament, he comprehended the Yin-Yang Sword Intent, and everything within him underwent a transformative elevation.

His Martial Dao Realm ascended from the Elemental Wheel Realm Fifth Layer to the Elemental Wheel Realm Seventh Layer, and the Spirit Master Realm elevated from the initial entry of Tier Four to Tier Four Middle Stage.

But this was not yet the limit; the foundation brought by the convergence of Yin and Yang could still allow him to achieve a significant degree of improvement.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed, and Ye Chen’s martial cultivation reached the Elemental Wheel Realm Tenth Layer, while his Spirit Master Realm also advanced to Tier Four High Stage. The foundation brought by the Yin-Yang Sword Intent was finally exhausted.

The gains were indeed tremendous.

Ye Chen walked out of the cultivation room and found He Dong, only to learn that Sun Siming, Fatty, Qu Xiao, and Ouyang Xiaoling had already returned to Cangxing Martial Arts Academy.

The reason Ye Chen wasn’t called to return together was that the expedition to Lingyun Mountain was about to commence.

Since Ye Chen gave up the reward for first place in the personal competition, his spot came from one of the three extra spots gifted to Cangxing Martial Arts Academy by the imperial family.

Gifted, they say.

Actually, Cangxing Martial Arts Academy owed no favor to the imperial family.

Because Lingyun Mountain was conquered by Yang Tianji of the Spirit Martial Division at Cangxing Martial Arts Academy!

”Vice Dean He, when do we set off?” Ye Chen asked.

”A little longer. The Imperial Court, Sect Alliance, and all the major families have finalized their spots for Lingyun Mountain. We just wait for them to arrive in Capital City, and then we can set off together.”

”Who has the spots on the imperial family’s side?” Ye Chen immediately asked.

”Zhou Chengqian and Zhou Chengyun, the two brothers are among them, and the others aren’t worth much attention,” He Dong said.

Ye Chen’s eyes sparkled.

He initially planned to settle the scores with Zhou Chengqian and Zhou Chengyun right in Capital City.

Since they were also heading to Lingyun Mountain, there was no rush now.

Deal with them at Lingyun Mountain later!

Though Yang Tianji and Ouyang Shang had said Ye Chen could do as he wished, choosing a better time meant there was no need to launch an attack in Capital City.

After all, they spoke lightly, but Ye Chen guessed they must be under tremendous pressure.

If he could cause them lesser trouble, he would.

”Vice Dean He, do you have the list from the Sect Alliance?”

He Dong nodded and said, ”Among the ten from the Sect Alliance, there are two to particularly note.

The first is Li Tianyi of Haoyang Sect. Haoyang Sect is the strongest sect within the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the Alliance Leader of the Sect Alliance is Li Jushan, Sect Leader of Haoyang Sect, a Heaven-Reaching Legendary Realm powerhouse. Li Tianyi is Li Jushan’s youngest son, highly talented. If Han Qianshan encounters Li Tianyi, he will not be a match!

The second is Wu Ke from the Ten Thousand Poison Sect. This woman is a disciple jointly accepted by several elders of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, with extremely terrifying poison techniques. It’s said... the poison targeting the fusion of spirit and martial arts was produced by Wu Ke.”

Ye Chen’s eyes flashed with cold light when he heard this!

Previously, Ye Chen’s senior sister Liu Meng’Er was poisoned, and his senior brother Yuan Polu, who helped Liu Meng’Er heal, was also poisoned, almost leading to both their deaths under the poison.

This debt, Ye Chen had always remembered!

”There’s another person from the Sect Alliance you’re quite familiar with.” He Dong continued.

”Dongfang Xiu?”

”Yes, it’s him. Celestial Sword Sect is now barely existent, and the remnants of Celestial Sword Sect have been absorbed into the direct lines of the Sect Alliance, and Dongfang Xiu thus got a spot.”

”Vice Dean He, Dongfang Xiu previously told me he was a disciple of Ouyang Courtyard. Is this true?”

He Dong smiled and said, ”He’s just a double-dealer who acknowledges whoever feeds him; he indeed has some connection with Dean Ouyang. I captured him on the battlefield of Demon Suppression Valley, and Dean Ouyang threw him to the Sect Alliance.

Therefore, if you meet Dongfang Xiu again, there’s no need to kill him, but don’t fully trust what he says. Judge for yourself.”

”Understood.” Ye Chen also asked, ”Who else from our Cangxing Martial Arts Academy will be going?”

”Your senior sister has another spot, likely for Yu Hui, but whether Yu Hui can get the spot is uncertain, because Yu Sheng has taken Yu Hui to fight with Dean Ouyang over the spot at our Cangxing Martial Arts Academy...

If the last spot is confirmed for Yu Hui, Yu Sheng will likely personally take your senior sister and Yu Hui to Lingyun Mountain, and they won’t come to depart with us.”

”What about Thousand Spirits Sect?” Ye Chen continued to ask.

Thousand Spirits Sect was the sect of the former master of the Great Zhou Emperor and is a prominent force in Cangzhou. The Great Zhou Emperor gifted ten spots to Thousand Spirits Sect.

”As for Thousand Spirits Sect, I’m not too clear on this matter; even the Great Zhou Emperor might not know who Thousand Spirits Sect is sending,” He Dong said, pausing for a moment, and his tone was solemn as he cautioned, ”Ye Chen, if you reach Lingyun Mountain, try not to conflict with anybody from Thousand Spirits Sect.”

Ye Chen smiled and said, ”If no one provokes me, I won’t provoke them.”

The latter part of the sentence, Ye Chen didn’t say.

If Thousand Spirits Sect seeks trouble, regardless of anything, I will raise my sword to fight!

He Dong also understood Ye Chen’s character and knew that there was no point in saying more, hence he directly switched topics, ”Since the Grand Tournament has just ended, matters regarding the allocation of cultivation resources for Cangxing Martial Arts Academy for the next three years must be handled by me, so try not to leave Emperor Star Martial Arts Academy. It’s the safest place.”

”Understood,” Ye Chen said.

...

That day, Ye Chen trained until late into the night at his residence, then chose to go to bed.

Although cultivators have abundant energy, they must know when to relax; staying tense continuously is not the solution.

Next morning.

He Dong had left early to handle some trivial matters.

Almost right after He Dong left, a young man with delicate facial features, fair skin, dressed in embroidered robes and a jade pendant around his waist, arrived at Emperor Star Martial Arts Academy and headed straight for Ye Chen’s residence.

Coincidentally, Ye Chen had just finished washing up, basking in the sun in the courtyard, contemplating matters regarding going to Lingyun Mountain.

Sensing someone entering the courtyard, Ye Chen turned to scrutinize the visitor.

This young man, too, was curious, looking up and down at Ye Chen.

On this young man’s face, Ye Chen saw a familiar resemblance, quite similar to Hua Qianxue...

He had heard long ago that Hua Qianxue had a younger twin brother, and it seemed to be this person in front of him.

”Who are you?”

Ye Chen asked, although he had guessed, he symbolically asked.

The young man withdrew his gaze from Ye Chen and laughed, ”Hua Family, Hua Ao Bone, I’m my sister’s younger brother.”

Ye Chen: ”...”

That’s simply nonsense!

If you weren’t your sister’s younger brother, could you have been your sister’s older brother?

Hua Ao Bone chuckled and said, ”No wonder my sister cares about you so much, not only are you highly talented, but you also look good, much better than that Zhou Chengqian fellow. Alright, you’ve passed my test, so when you go to meet my parents, I’ll surely praise you.”

Ye Chen: ”...”

Are we meeting the parents already?

So suddenly?!
