Supreme Sword God

Chapter 591: Chapter 590: Repay Kindness a Hundredfold

The Sect Alliance Headquarters is located near the Haoyang Sect.

The Leader of the Sect Alliance, Li Jushan, is also the Sect Leader of the Haoyang Sect.

Li Jushan’s son, Li Tianyi, once attempted to kill Ye Chen at Lingyun Mountain, but was ultimately killed by Ye Chen instead.

More than half a year ago, a large group of Heaven-Reaching Realm experts attacked Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, and Li Jushan played a significant role in that effort.

In that battle,

many Heaven-Reaching Realm experts died.

Even the Blood Cloud Ancestor died.

Li Jushan was also supposed to die, but the Moon God from the Divine Moon Ancient Kingdom appeared and stopped the killing.

This is also the fundamental reason Ye Chen wants to stab the Moon God; if it weren’t for that Moon God interfering, there wouldn’t be the trouble now.

Ye Chen’s speed is swift, with a short burst exceeding Little Phoenix, but for sustained flight, it can’t compare to Little Phoenix. After all, Little Phoenix was born with wings, which is a natural advantage!

Little Phoenix was very reliable, persisting even when exhausted to the point of collapse, and brought Ye Chen to the Sect Alliance from the Ten Thousand Poison Sect in less than two days.

The thoroughly exhausted Little Phoenix collapsed directly on the ground.

Ye Chen placed Little Phoenix into the Sword Tomb.

Earlier, he had Little Phoenix rest in the vicinity of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect to help block the way. If Guo Qiang tried to escape, Little Phoenix might not defeat Guo Qiang, but it could hold him off a bit.

However, now that he’s facing the stronger Sect Alliance, it’s better to prioritize safety.

Just as Ye Chen sent Little Phoenix into the Sword Tomb, a series of whooshing sounds arose nearby.

Members of the Sect Alliance were patrolling the area and discovered the commotion.

”How dare you intrude on the Sect Alliance’s grounds, seeking death!”

Four young members of the Sect Alliance rushed over.

One of them, wearing a bright red robe, had a handsome face, and when he saw the intruder’s face, his eyes nearly popped out!

He shouted angrily, ”Who are you? State your name quickly!”

As he finished, a long knife suddenly appeared in his hand. With a sweep of the blade, the three Sect Alliance youths standing next to him were all killed!

”Ye... Ye Chen!”

The man in red was profoundly shaken, and his voice was full of excitement!

”Xiu’er, why are you still mingling with the Sect Alliance?” Ye Chen frowned.

This man was precisely Dongfang Xiu, the spy for Ouyang Shang, Dean of Cangxing Martial Arts Academy.

He was once the chief disciple of the Celestial Sword Sect, and after its downfall, he joined the Sect Alliance.

This guy is unreliable and always wavering!

However, Ye Chen held no animosity towards Dongfang Xiu. After all, more than half a year ago, before leaving the Great Zhou Dynasty, Dongfang Xiu helped him lure out the hidden scoundrel Gu Yue!

Dongfang Xiu revealed a helpless smile and said, ”Last time, after helping you kill Gu Yue, I wanted to find that old guy Ouyang Shang to arrange a place for me to retire and never come out again. But Ouyang Shang wouldn’t allow it, so I returned to the Sect Alliance.

By the way, why are you back now?

You better leave quickly. There are many spies around the Sect Alliance. If you’re discovered, don’t say I didn’t save you, because I can’t.”

Ye Chen said, ”I have something to handle. Can you help me?”

Dongfang Xiu gazed at Ye Chen warily and said, ”What are you planning? Rescue Ren Yong? Don’t act recklessly. I’ve been planning this. If you act, not only will we fail to rescue him, you’ll disrupt my plan!”

Ye Chen: ”...General Ren is in the Sect Alliance?”

Ren Yong... Ye Chen had a deep impression of him!

The Centurion of the Dragon Guard from the Great Zhou Dynasty, he participated in the battle at Demon Suppression Valley, escorted Ye Chen all the way, and faced the siege of the seven elders of the Celestial Sword Sect alongside him.

This was a man of iron will and an unyielding warrior, a disciple of He Dong, Vice Martial Arts Dean at Cangxing Martial Arts Academy!

Dongfang Xiu: ”...So, you’re not here to rescue General Ren Yong?”

Ye Chen: ”Where is General Ren Yong?”

”Not in the Sect Alliance, but detained at Haoyang Sect.

The Dragon Guard was sent here under orders, but the royal family couldn’t conveniently act against General Ren Yong of the Dragon Guard without cause, so they notified Li Jushan in advance.

Li Jushan then detained General Ren Yong directly.

If the Grand Commander of the Dragon Guard, Qin Hao, hadn’t intervened, General Ren Yong would have long been dead.

Unfortunately... Grand Commander Qin Hao wasn’t able to rescue him, only using the Dragon Guard’s name to intimidate Li Jushan enough so that he wouldn’t dare take General Ren Yong’s life!”

Ye Chen’s eyes flickered.

Qin Hao, he remembered him too. During the battle with the Demon Race in Demon Suppression Valley, this was also a soldier of iron blood.

If he intended to kill Li Jushan, once the battle broke out, there would be no time to rescue Ren Yong, making his survival uncertain. Therefore, before killing Li Jushan, he needed to rescue Ren Yong first!

”Lead the way, to Haoyang Sect!” Ye Chen said immediately.

”No... Going like this is no different from seeking death,” Dongfang Xiu shook his head. ”I’ve been preparing for this. I have all the details of the prison’s map and the guard shift schedules.”

He spoke while pulling out a map he had drawn, covered in dense annotations!

Ye Chen snatched the map from him and said, ”I’ll go by myself. Also, where is Li Jushan?”

”He’s at the Sect Alliance. He doesn’t dare leave lately, fearing that Ouyang Shang or Liu Mubai will come after him.”

”Wait for me here. Once I rescue General Ren Yong, take him to Cangxing Martial Arts Academy!” Ye Chen said as he prepared to leave.

”You’re insane! There are lots of Peak Unity Realm experts at Haoyang Sect, and if anything happens there, Li Jushan can rush back in at most a quarter of an hour!”

Ye Chen grinned and said, ”I’m just afraid that Li Jushan won’t show up. If he does, all the better, I’ll kill him too!”

He’s crazy.

Completely crazy!

Disappeared for over half a year, now back, his mind seems broken.

Wants to kill Li Jushan?

Dongfang Xiu thought Ye Chen was beyond saving!

Seeing Ye Chen preparing to head to Haoyang Sect, Dongfang Xiu quickly asked, ”Ye Chen, what are your chances?”

”Hmm?”

”I mean, to kill Li Jushan!” Dongfang Xiu added.

He thought he might be crazy too, genuinely believing Ye Chen might be able to kill Li Jushan...

Ye Chen said casually, ”Is it that hard?”

As he spoke, Guo Qiang’s head fell from Ye Chen’s storage ring, rolling to Dongfang Xiu’s feet.

Dongfang Xiu: ”...Guo...Guo Qiang!”

The Sect Leader of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, a Heaven-Reaching Realm expert, and Ye Chen actually managed to take Guo Qiang’s head... Dongfang Xiu felt like his mind couldn’t keep up.

Ye Chen is this powerful now?

Ye Chen said: ”I killed him with one strike!”

”I’ll take you to rescue Ren Yong. Without me, you would only charge in forcefully, and once you’re discovered, Ren Yong might die immediately!”

Dongfang Xiu took a deep breath, ready to take a gamble!

He was convinced that Ye Chen was destined for greatness and had long wanted to follow him, but there had never been a suitable opportunity. This time, he had to seize the chance!

Being an opportunist, Dongfang Xiu’s intuition told him that this decision would change his life forever!

Ye Chen smiled and said, ”Keep the head safe.”

”Hmm?”

”Cangxing Martial Arts Academy’s 300-year celebration is coming up. Are you planning to go empty-handed?”

Dongfang Xiu suddenly rejoiced.

This means Ye Chen also acknowledges him, allowing him to help bring a head as a gift to Cangxing Martial Arts Academy. Once he gets there, he won’t leave!

Dongfang Xiu immediately picked up the head, touched it, and thought to himself, this is the head of a Heaven-Reaching Realm expert... He had never touched one before, and the feeling was indeed different!

Ye Chen looked on, feeling a tingle in his scalp, and said, ”Hurry up, save people, kill people!”

......

Haoyang Sect, prison.

Dongfang Xiu brought Ye Chen and successfully entered inside.

It must be said, Dongfang Xiu had some skills and was familiar with everyone. The prison guards all treated him like a brother.

He’s a talent, Ye Chen thought, and considered bringing him over to act as a spy among the different races in the future.

Dongfang Xiu was also shocked by Ye Chen.

From start to finish, Ye Chen didn’t change his appearance or disguise himself and just swaggered in along with him, yet the guards didn’t notice anything.

Walking down the dark prison corridor, taking advantage of the moment when no one was around, Dongfang Xiu whispered, ”How did you do it?”

”Even if I told you, you wouldn’t understand. Where is the person held?”

Ye Chen had no time to explain much to Dongfang Xiu.

Bumpkin.

Martial Arts Celestial Eye, do you understand?

Pupil power, ever heard of it?

Illusions, can you do them?

The ability to create illusions is just an additional effect of the Martial Arts Celestial Eye, not very powerful. But there were no strong individuals among the Haoyang Sect jailers, so confusing these weaklings was naturally not a problem.

Even though Dongfang Xiu felt annoyed, he didn’t dare to argue back and whispered, ”We’re almost there. An old man at the peak of the Unity Realm is guarding. The key is on that old man. Without the key, we can’t open the array of the cell where General Ren Yong is held.”

A moment later.

The two had already reached the end of the cell.

An old man, with eyes sharp as an eagle’s, flashing with a ghostly light.

”Dongfang Xiu, why are you here?” the old man shouted.

”Report...” Dongfang Xiu was preparing to answer.

”Swoosh!”

Ye Chen’s sword had already been unsheathed.

The power of the integration of spirit and martial force erupted with extreme sharpness, all concentrated into the sword’s edge, without a trace of force leaking out.

The old man’s body was instantly cleaved in two, his soul obliterated.

Dongfang Xiu was dumbfounded.

Ye Chen sheathed his sword and walked forward.

Dongfang Xiu hurried to catch up, crouching by the old man’s corpse to find the key.

Ye Chen’s spiritual power surged forth, striking the array in front of them.

At the moment he drew his sword earlier, he had already seen through the array’s secrets with his Martial Arts Celestial Eye, and now his spiritual power completely replaced the function of the key to open the array.

”Click!”

The sound of the cell door opening, and Ye Chen pushed the door open and entered.

Beside him, Dongfang Xiu, still looking for the key, was once again left in shock!

Inside the cell.

Ye Chen saw Ren Yong.

The once hard-bodied and upright man was now covered in blood, hanging by iron chains, barely breathing.

Ye Chen focused his mind, and a burst of Sword Qi shot out, turning to cut through the chains.

Ren Yong’s body began to fall, but Ye Chen immediately caught him. Then, he took out a jade bottle from his Storage Ring and poured the Spiritual Liquid contained within into Ren Yong’s mouth.

Dongfang Xiu, who had just entered, happened to witness this scene, nearly dropping his jaw.

At least a seventh-grade Spiritual Liquid... The entire Great Zhou Dynasty probably doesn’t have many of these, and Ye Chen was actually giving it to Ren Yong to drink like water...

Having been gone for over half a year and coming back with absurdly powerful abilities, Ye Chen’s generosity was equally unbelievable!

Dongfang Xiu wondered if Ye Chen had spent this past half a year in some kind of Holy Land Great Teaching, becoming someone’s son-in-law?

At this moment.

Ren Yong slowly regained consciousness.

Seeing Ye Chen, an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

”Ye... Ye Chen... is it really you?” a weak voice rang out.

Ye Chen nodded.

”Thank you, but... don’t worry about me. This is Haoyang Sect, you should leave quickly!” Ren Yong said.

Ye Chen said, ”General Ren, do you remember when I was being hunted in Demon Suppression Valley?”

Ren Yong, not quite understanding, nodded.

Ye Chen continued, ”You protected me all the way, and even fought to the death to help me and refused to retreat.

Today, I will protect you, break out of the prison, and escape from Haoyang Sect!”
