Supreme Sword God

Chapter 713: Chapter 712: The Real and Fake Ye Chen, a Complicated Conversation

Ye Chen looked at another version of himself, feeling uncomfortable all over.

He reached out to touch it; the tactile sensation wasn’t bad!

After circling around it, Ye Chen said, ”Hall Master, everything else is fine, but the key is that the strength is too weak, so it’s impossible to make it seem real.”

Lingxiao said, ”I used a thread of your essence blood and a strand of your divine soul to create this body, but your power is very complex, so currently there’s only one way, and that is to transfer all your power into this body.”

”Can it be taken back?” Ye Chen asked.

If it couldn’t be taken back, he’d rather go head-to-head with the people from the Origin World!

If it could be retrieved, then it would be harmless to trick the people from the Origin World for a while.

”It can be taken back. Once this body has fooled the people walking the world on behalf of the Origin World, it must be destroyed.”

”Why not keep it?”

”It could affect you,” Lingxiao said. ”If it continues to exist, it might develop independent thoughts and eventually become a karmic bond holding you back!”

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen’s skin crawled with goosebumps.

Forget it, destroying it would be better.

Shi Fengchun looked at the brand-new body, saying nothing.

The corner of Lingxiao’s eye constantly cast glances at Shi Fengchun.

Ye Chen quickly said, ”Hall Master, how do I transfer my power into this body now?”

Lingxiao said, ”Go into the Space Secret Realm and simply channel your power into this body.”

”Alright, I’ll get to it!”

Ye Chen embraced the other version of himself, flashed, and entered the small Space Secret Realm Lingxiao had just opened.

Lingxiao’s power surged as the secret realm closed, and he looked directly at Shi Fengchun, asking, ”Is there nothing at all you want to say?”

Shi Fengchun said, ”Grand Hall Master, my senior brother once told me that the True Martial Hall has many forbidden techniques. I’m wondering whether this move of yours is one of them?”

Lingxiao calmly said, ”It is indeed one of them, called Golden Cicada Shell, Shi Fengchun, you should also know it.”

”This is the first time I’m hearing about it; how could I know?” Shi Fengchun muttered, ”But it is indeed a good life-saving method. I’m very interested; Grand Hall Master, would you teach me?”

Lingxiao said, ”Do you know how many kinds of forbidden techniques there are at the Grand Hall?”

”My poor senior brother told me there seem to be eighteen kinds.”

”Do you know where they are stored?”

”I don’t know,” Shi Fengchun shook his head.

”During the Grand Assembly of Hundred Races, someone infiltrated the place where the forbidden techniques are stored, did you know?”

”Really?” Shi Fengchun’s eyes widened, ”Grand Hall Master, you must investigate it thoroughly; if not handled well, it might be an even bigger threat than that old Luo Jianren.”

”Was it really not you?” Lingxiao stared at Shi Fengchun.

Shi Fengchun shook his head and said, ”I went to kill that bunch of scum from the Luo Family, where would I find the time? Besides, the place where the Grand Hall stores the forbidden techniques is bound to have many powerful methods. I am just a heavily injured Great Saint who exploded half of my Origin not long ago; I need to have the ability to sneak in!”

Lingxiao said, ”Shi Fengchun, the place where the forbidden techniques are stored actually only holds seventeen, and one forbidden technique is hidden elsewhere.”

”Stop!” Shi Fengchun quickly called out, ”Grand Hall Master, I don’t want to know about this. My senior brother said these forbidden techniques carry great karma, don’t touch them lightly.

You are strong, so it’s no big deal, but I, a humble Great Saint, can’t afford to mess with it.”

Lingxiao furrowed his brow.

Is it really not Shi Fengchun?

If not him, then who?

Shi Fengchun smiled, ”Hall Master, though I feel hurt by your suspicion, it doesn’t matter. Now, I have a question.”

”Speak!”

”About the Black Armor Army, are you no longer going to investigate?”

”The truth has already come out, hasn’t it? Luo Jianren was executed, and the truth became clear.”

Shi Fengchun chuckled, ”You may fool others, but not me. Luo Jianren might indeed have been the one who directly leaked the Black Armor Army’s secrets back then, but I believe he was used. Luo Jianren, that fool, probably didn’t even realize he was just a pawn!”

Lingxiao stared at Shi Fengchun.

Shi Fengchun continued, ”I won’t hide from you, Grand Hall Master. Before coming to East Desolate City, I used a fake Black Armor Token to lure a clone of the real mastermind to Cangzhou.

Within that clone, I left a small trick.

I also always thought it was Luo Jianren, but it turned out... it wasn’t him!

Originally, I thought you also weren’t aware, but when I noticed you closed the matter so hastily, it felt odd.

Logically, we should be delving deeper, investigating who it was collaborating with Luo Jianren.

So, I believe you know Luo Jianren isn’t the true mastermind; you wish to settle the matter quickly!

Grand Hall Master, what is the truth?

My senior brother, due to investigating this matter, is still trapped in the Heavenly Exterior; you know my senior brother means more to me than the entire human race.

You might not look into it.

But I must continue the investigation!”

Lingxiao took a deep breath and said, ”I am aware there is an issue since Luo Jianren claimed that the Grand General of the Black Armor Army, Shen Zhan, took his opportunity.

But the timeline doesn’t match.

During that period, Shen Zhan was with me; we were secretly handling other matters, meaning someone impersonated Shen Zhan.

Later, the opportunity Luo Jianren mentioned being seized did indeed appear with Shen Zhan, but I also knew that Shen Zhan received those opportunities from elsewhere, suggesting Shen Zhan’s obtaining those opportunities was manipulated!

As to who it really is, I cannot pursue further.

The current situation of the Grand Hall, you are not unfamiliar with, the power remnants of the Black Armor Army have already fully emerged, and further investigation would surely drive them mad, causing the whole Eastern Domain True Martial Hall to descend into chaos!”

”So, will the truth remain forever hidden?” Shi Fengchun smirked coldly.

”No, the truth must eventually be investigated, but not now!” Lingxiao’s tone was resolute!

Shi Fengchun’s eyes flickered, then returned to a smiling demeanor, ”Grand Hall Master, I have another question, what is with Grand Elder’s descendant Feng Kuang?”

Lingxiao responded calmly, ”Why don’t you ask the Grand Elder himself?”

”Then forget it, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving now,” Shi Fengchun said.

Grand Elder... so powerful, best avoid provoking him.

After Shi Fengchun left, Lingxiao frowned and murmured to himself, ”Shi Fengchun, is it truly not you?”

Meanwhile, Shi Fengchun was also musing to himself, ”Trying to trick me? No way! Talk as if you know where the eighteenth forbidden technique is.”

Inside the small Space Secret Realm, Ye Chen had begun continuously transferring power into the other him.

If he could initially fool the people of the Origin World, that would be good; in a direct confrontation, they couldn’t win.

Delay it for a day longer if possible!

Several consecutive days passed.

Ye Chen was constantly transferring power.

On the seventh day, Ye Chen’s body was completely devoid of power.

This included the Sword Seed and the Unique Ultimate Celestial Spirit Seal, all moved to the fake body.

In the fake body, aside from not having an Origin World, everything else was indistinguishable from Ye Chen’s peak state.

”Grand Hall Master, it’s done!”

Ye Chen shouted.

The next moment, Lingxiao’s figure appeared in front of Ye Chen.

”The person walking the world on behalf of the Origin World arrived in East Desolate City faster than I anticipated; until he leaves, you must stay here.”

Ye Chen: ”Understood.”

”I’ll take your fake body and wait for him to show up,” said Lingxiao, and then he left with Ye Chen’s fake body.

Although Ye Chen lost his power, he could still sense everything the fake body experienced.

Worried about Lingxiao playing tricks?

No need to worry.

Lingxiao is so capable; if he wanted to play tricks, he could directly capture my true self, doing whatever he wants; no need for so much trouble.

If, by any chance... Ye Chen isn’t unprepared either.

A few days ago in Sword Tomb, he mentioned the matter to Luo Qingyi and Master Legs.

Both Luo Qingyi and Master Legs stated that if trouble arose, they would fight their way out from Sword Tomb!
