Supreme Sword God

Chapter 899: Chapter 898: Completely Isolated, Death Approaching

Outer sea, on a barren deserted island.

The young participants who came for the Inner Sea assessment have all gathered here under the guidance of the three alliances’ envoys.

Liu Mubai, the Martial Alliance’s chief envoy, glanced at everyone and said indifferently, “This deserted island might not be ideal, but it’s big enough for you to exhaust yourself over the course of three days.

During these three days, I hope you perform well; your life and death are in your own hands.

The rules may be harsh, but that’s the way of the Celestial Burial Sea!”

After saying this.

Liu Mubai’s expression turned serious, and he suddenly formed seals with his hands, causing a jade plaque to shoot out from them.

“Buzz!”

The power within the jade plaque was activated, transforming into a verdant light screen that completely enveloped the vast deserted island.

Lin Yi, the Spirit Alliance’s chief envoy, furrowed his brows and said, “Liu Mubai, although we are not interfering, we still need to monitor each participant’s progress. Yet, you’ve deployed the strongest sealing restriction. What’s your intention?!”

As soon as he finished speaking.

Lu Li, the Physical Alliance’s chief envoy, also suddenly deployed a restriction, merging it with Liu Mubai’s, isolating everything on the island even more thoroughly.

Lin Yi was furious, saying, “What exactly are you two plotting? Aren’t you concerned at all about whether anyone might use methods that breach the rules during this assessment?”

Lu Li didn’t even bother to glance at Lin Yi.

Wondering what they’re up to?

He himself didn’t know.

Liu Mubai wanted to do it this way.

Anyway, Liu Mubai promised to assist the Physical Alliance in recruiting Ye Chen.

Liu Mubai has many ideas; it’s best to listen to him.

If ultimately, the Physical Alliance fails to recruit Ye Chen, then they’ll wrestle Liu Mubai to the ground and beat him for three days and nights!

Staring at Lin Yi, Liu Mubai said, “The Celestial Burial Sea is actually a place that only cares about the results; the process is irrelevant, isn’t it?”

Without isolating all investigations, his precious disciple-nephew Ye Chen wouldn’t be able to perform well.

As for whether Ye Chen can dominate the scene, Liu Mubai isn’t worried at all.

Ye Chen is already at the Ninth Stage of the Flesh Dao.

In the Heaven-Reaching Realm Seventh Layer, combined with the Tier Eight Ultimate Celestial Spirit Seal, the unity of spirit and martial arts makes him invincible against anyone but the Saint Realm.

And the strongest participant in the assessment is He Xun, who is about to enter the Saint Realm.

Even if He Xun enters the Saint Realm, Liu Mubai isn’t too worried, after all, Ye Chen himself said a mere Saint Realm is still no issue.

Even if Ye Chen boasts, Liu Mubai believes Ye Chen can fend off attacks and ensure his own safety.

…

On the deserted island.

Over three hundred people immediately divided into three groups.

One of them, led by He Xun, clearly intended to target Ye Chen.

Another group, led by Ye Chen, consisted of mostly people Ye Chen didn’t recognize. These individuals wanted to seize the opportunity to build a good relationship with Ye Chen, who has infinite potential.

The third group belonged to the neutral faction, merely seeking to pass the Inner Sea assessment, with no intention to interfere in the feud between Ye Chen and He Xun.

He Xun’s gaze fixed on Ye Chen.

“Do you want to fight now?”

Ye Chen casually waved his hand, and the holy sword won from Hong Mei instantly burst with formidable sharpness.

Currently, the Celestial Mark Sword is still in the Sword Tomb merging with divine sword fragments. Fortunately, there are two holy swords in the Storage Ring. Although they’re not as handy, their power is considerable.

He Xun gritted his teeth and said, “I’ll let you off for now, let’s go!”

The situation on the ground wasn’t particularly favorable for them.

Because of Ye Chen’s Celestial-tier Divine Appraiser potential, many people wanted to get closer to Ye Chen, so those standing by Ye Chen’s side clearly outnumbered He Xun’s side.

Seeing He Xun and his people leave, Ye Chen had no intention of starting a fight now.

With many people, it’s harder to perform well.

After He Xun and his people departed.

Yi’an said, “Brother Ye, they surely won’t let this go easily. I suggest finding a group of capable and trustworthy people to complete the Inner Sea assessment together.”

Immediately, quite a few people around Ye Chen volunteered themselves.

Ye Chen chuckled lightly and said, “I appreciate everyone’s kindness, but it’s not necessary. The assessment is the priority, so everyone should focus on their own tasks.”

Yi’an: “Brother Ye, but…”

Ye Chen directly interrupted Yi’an, saying, “It’s fine, if we gather, it’ll be easier for them to find us. If we spread out a bit, given the island’s vastness, they might not necessarily discover me.

Moreover, I’m more accustomed to being alone; with too many people, I feel uneasy.”

Since Ye Chen said this, Yi’an couldn’t make decisions for him, thus he didn’t persist, only saying, “Brother Ye, be careful.”

“Brother Yi, everyone, I’ll head out first.” Ye Chen bid farewell and then left alone.

…

In another area of the deserted island.

Most of the people who were with He Xun had already scattered.

Only Hong Mei and other key members were still with He Xun.

“He Xun, I don’t want to wait any longer. Didn’t you say everything was planned? Hurry up and act!” Zhang Qi urged.

He Xun’s lips curled into a cold smile and he said, “Among those who outwardly support Ye Chen, quite a few are my spies.

Soon they’ll report Ye Chen’s whereabouts to me, and by then, we’ll move in to kill him.

If Ye Chen doesn’t die, I, He Xun, swear not to be human!”

As He Xun spoke, his expression turned extremely sinister.

He has always been proud, having long been strong enough to enter the Inner Sea.

But he didn’t want to remain obscure in the Inner Sea, so he stayed in the Outer Sea to build up strength, intending to draw attention as soon as he entered the Inner Sea.

Precisely because of this, he gradually became the number one prodigy in this Outer Sea region, fully prepared to venture into the Inner Sea.

But unexpectedly, at this critical juncture, Ye Chen emerged, causing He Xun to feel the utmost humiliation, bowing and kneeling before a great crowd.

In recent days.

The only thing in He Xun’s mind, apart from avenging his humiliation by killing Ye Chen, was nothing else!

In the group, a man with an indifferent expression spoke, “In my opinion, Ye Chen isn’t worth fearing. You’re making too much of him; his Pupil Technique Divine Techniques create illusions, once you break his illusions, he’s just an ant you can crush at will!”

This person was Xu Xiaolong, the second among the so-called Top Ten talents in this region, second only to He Xun.

“He may only have one Grotto Heaven, but his sword array is formidable…” Miao Chao, who had suffered twice under Ye Chen’s Infinite Star Sword Array, said with lingering fear.

“That’s because you’re useless!” Hong Mei said bluntly.

Miao Chao’s face flushed with anger, “Humph, you’re strong, but you were toyed with even more miserably by Ye Chen!”

Hong Mei fiercely clenched her fist, a terrifying cold light erupting from her narrow eyes, she gritted her teeth and said, “This time, I won’t need anyone to join forces with me. Once we find Ye Chen, I’ll rely on my own strength to ensure he has no burial place!”

He Xun smiled faintly and said, “Calm down, we’re all on the same side, no need to harbor resentment. Our mutual target this time is Ye Chen, kill him, and everything else is negotiable.”

Just then.

A silhouette flew towards them.

He Xun’s eyes filled with excitement.

The pawn he arranged has come to report, Ye Chen’s death is now not far off!
