Supreme Sword God

Chapter 693: Chapter 692: Calling for Aid, Another Breakthrough

The residence of the Second Elder of True Martial Hall, Luo Jianren.

Luo Yaozu came running, covered in blood. A powerful force instantly enveloped his body, pulling him into the house.

All his injuries were restored in an instant, and the vitality returned to his body.

”Thank you, Ancestor!”

Luo Yaozu knelt down, offering a grand gesture of gratitude.

”What happened? Could it be that even you can’t deal with Ye Chen?!” Luo Jianren’s tone was quite grave.

Luo Yaozu said, ”Reporting to Ancestor, it’s not that I am not a match for Ye Chen; I just didn’t expect that Ye Chen had prepared so many external aids...”

He recounted the detailed events, and then said, ”Please rest assured, Ancestor. If Ye Chen attends the Grand Assembly of Hundred Races, I will certainly suppress him. If he does not attend, I will still restore the Luo Family’s honor!”

Luo Jianren’s gaze flickered, nodding, ”Go to the family treasury, find a suitable supreme Dao artifact to refine, and strive to perform well at the Grand Assembly of Hundred Races. Now, go.”

”Yes, I will not disappoint Ancestor’s high expectations!” Luo Yaozu said and immediately withdrew.

Inside the room, Luo Jianren’s expression was somber, his mind restless, feeling as though crises lurked around him. In the next moment, he gritted his teeth, made a decision, and quickly entered a secret chamber, revealing a polished mirror in his hands.

Luo Jianren’s power surged into the mirror.

In the mirror, a face filled with domineering authority appeared.

”Spirit Emperor, I need your help. After it’s done, there will be a hefty reward.”

”State the terms first.” The Spirit Emperor in the mirror spoke, his face expressionless.

”Double the territory allocated to the Hundred Races Alliance!”

”Can you do that?” The Spirit Emperor sneered, clearly skeptical.

Luo Jianren said, ”If I can’t, I’ll let you handle it however you please.”

”Alright, tell me, what do you need me to do?”

”I need the Spirit Emperor to come to True Martial Hall, and I want Lingxiao to have no time to manage True Martial Hall for a while.”

”In five days, I will personally visit True Martial Hall.”

”Thank you, Spirit Emperor,” Luo Jianren said, excitement on his face.

The Spirit Emperor said, ”Don’t forget the conditions you promised.”

The brief communication ended, and the mirror shattered into dust and dispersed.

Meanwhile, at the residence of the Grand Hall Master of True Martial Hall.

A complex expression flickered across Lingxiao’s face, followed by a long sigh, as he muttered to himself, ”So, it really is you!”

At this moment.

A loud shout reached Lingxiao’s ears.

”Grand Hall Master, I have urgent matters to discuss!”

Lingxiao furrowed his brows, thinking it must be that fellow Shi Fengchun again, wondering if he had caused another stir.

”Come in.” Lingxiao said calmly.

Shi Fengchun’s figure flashed, appearing in front of Lingxiao.

”What is it?” Lingxiao asked.

Shi Fengchun said, ”Grand Hall Master, are the people from Primitive Heaven in East Desolate City?”

Lingxiao’s temples throbbed, ”Shi Fengchun, I warn you, don’t provoke the people from Primitive Heaven.”

”Grand Hall Master, I’m just asking, are the people from Primitive Heaven in East Desolate City?” Shi Fengchun watched Lingxiao, his expression serious.

”No.”

Shi Fengchun suddenly let out a sigh of relief.

”Why are you asking this?” Lingxiao asked.

Shi Fengchun said, ”If the people from Primitive Heaven were in East Desolate City, I would take Ye Chen and run!”

”Hmm?” Lingxiao was completely puzzled.

Shi Fengchun said, ”The people from Primitive Heaven are searching for someone throughout the Eastern Domain, specifically looking for all geniuses under the age of thirty...”

Before he could finish, Lingxiao interrupted, ”So, you think the person they’re looking for is Ye Chen?”

”Highly likely!” Shi Fengchun said, ”Moreover, their search is definitely not for a good purpose, as the attitude of the Hidden Clan in Cangzhou during the search is extremely hostile!”

A deep light filled Lingxiao’s eyes, ”Why do you think it could be Ye Chen? Have you discovered something special about him?”

”At eighteen, Ye Chen was just an ordinary young man, with nothing remarkable about him. It was only after his family faced a great calamity that he began to rise, and that was only two years ago.

In two years, without any special resources or cultivation, he went from an unremarkable youth to where he is today; isn’t that special enough?

Besides, I’ll not hide this from you, Grand Hall Master, there is an extremely abnormal energy in Ye Chen. Regardless of how severe his injuries are, without any pills or elixirs, given some time, he will be as robust as an ox calf.

The uniqueness of that energy is simply incredible, and it can even repair the soon-to-be-destroyed Grotto Heaven of the Cangzhou True Martial Hall!”

As Shi Fengchun spoke, he kept watching Lingxiao.

The lack of concealment was because Shi Fengchun understood Lingxiao, considering him to be reliable enough.

If Ye Chen truly was the person Primitive Heaven sought, he couldn’t handle it alone; he needed to involve Lingxiao!

”Grand Hall Master, please say something!” Shi Fengchun, seeing Lingxiao remain silent, couldn’t help but urged.

Lingxiao said, ”If Ye Chen truly is the person Primitive Heaven is looking for, do you think it’s worth it for True Martial Hall to offend Primitive Heaven for him?”

Shi Fengchun said, ”That depends on how you see it, Grand Hall Master.”

”And how do you see it?” Lingxiao countered.

Shi Fengchun said, ”If Ye Chen dies, True Martial Hall and the Eastern Domain Human Race will have no hope left!”

”You have a high regard for him,” Lingxiao said with a faint smile.

Shi Fengchun said, ”This evaluation is not about Ye Chen, but about the so-called big picture you often talk about.

When facing other races, True Martial Hall has already taken a step back.

If we keep retreating, there will never be a thought of moving forward again.

Retreat enough, and it becomes a habit!”

Lingxiao said, ”Alright, I will keep an eye on it. If Primitive Heaven is indeed looking for Ye Chen, I will handle it.”

Shi Fengchun asked cautiously, ”Are we going to war with Primitive Heaven?”

Lingxiao said, ”The terror of Primitive Heaven is beyond what you can imagine. To Primitive Heaven, all beings are mere ants. When I say I’ll handle it, I naturally have a method to do so.”

Shi Fengchun, resuming his smile, said, ”Then I’ll thank the Grand Hall Master on behalf of Ye Chen first.”

Lingxiao shifted the topic, ”The bait we’ve set out has worked; the other side is panicking.”

Shi Fengchun said, ”Hall Master, I will have Ye Chen continue to lure the snake out of its hole.”

”Didn’t you say before that Ye Chen is just to throw out the bait? Why the change of mind now? Why are you letting Ye Chen continue getting involved?”

Shi Fengchun laughed, ”I think it’s good for Ye Chen to get more exercise; it’s beneficial for young people to gain more experience.”

Lingxiao scoffed at Shi Fengchun’s words, ”Earlier, you thought it enough for Ye Chen to throw out the bait, uncover the hidden culprit, and it would suffice to have Ye Chen establish some connection with the remnants of the Black Armor Army.

Now, with the potential threat from Primitive Heaven erupting, you want him more deeply involved to establish a deeper connection with the remnants of the Black Armor Army’s power.

In case something really happens in the future.

If I am unreliable, the remnants of the Black Armor Army will steadfastly assist him.

Shi Fengchun, don’t think your scheming ways escape my notice!”

”The Grand Hall Master is wise!” Shi Fengchun flattered him.

...

Inside the Dao Inheritance Spirit Pool.

For several consecutive days, Ye Chen focused all his efforts on absorbing energy to nurture the Unique Spirit Seal.

In his sea of consciousness, the Unique Spirit Seal radiated with brilliant golden light, infinitely glorious, with the ultimate sharpness turning into golden Sword Qi, traversing the vast expanse of his consciousness.

”Buzz!”

Suddenly.

The Unique Spirit Seal emitted intense vibrations.

All the golden Sword Qi, like rivers merging into the sea, converged into the Unique Spirit Seal!

Thus, his cultivation broke through, the power of the Spirit Dao advanced from the high extreme of Seventh Rank to the Peak of Seventh Rank!
