Chapter 1497: Surrounded With Nowhere To Go Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ye Chen felt a headache coming on. However, he did not have the energy to look for Wei Ying at the moment. Still, judging from the reaction of the bracelet, she should not be in danger.

While Ye Chen was deep in thought, an aged voice suddenly rang out. “Kid, how have you been faring in the Lingwu Continent? Are you used to it?”

Ye Chen’s expression froze when he heard this familiar voice. When he turned around, he saw an old man holding a wine gourd standing not far from him.

The old man took a sip of wine, and his face was slightly red. He was staring at Ye Chen with a burning gaze, as if he was deeply interested.

At this moment, Ye Chen had too many doubts in his heart. From Xiangjiang City in Huaxia, to the Kunlun Mountains, and then to the Lingwu Continent, this old man had somehow always appeared when he least expected.

Most importantly, the other party was extremely clear about his grandfather’s plan and the matters that occurred during ancient times.

“Who exactly are you? Why are you following me?”

“Also, what was the terrifying force that you said I was going to face?”

“Since Grandpa made this plan, why didn’t he tell me anything? Why did he have to go through you?”

Ye Chen asked a few questions in a row, but the old man was not in a hurry to answer. He found a rock and lay down, drinking wine leisurely.

“Brat, the secrets of heaven cannot be revealed.”

“Moreover, even the Heavenly Dao doesn’t seem to know your fate. Interesting, very interesting.”

“If I’m not wrong, you’re preparing to rush to the Dugu family’s auction, right?”

“In this world, you’re the first one who dares to try to snatch a poisonous treasure like the Thousand Demon Ginseng as a mere Divine King realm cultivator.”

Ye Chen’s expression changed drastically when he heard that. How did this old man find out about this?

Ye Chen’s killing intent rose subconsciously.

However, the old man moved his finger and the killing intent disappeared.

“Kid, your biggest weakness is your killing intent and hostility, but at the same time, it is also one of your greatest strengths.”

“Don’t worry, I placed my bets on you, so why would I attack you?”

“I came looking for you today to see how you are doing in the Lingwu Continent. Secondly, I came to reveal some things.”

“I admit that I didn’t think highly of you in the past, but now I’ve changed my mind. Perhaps you are someone who will be able to fight those people.”

Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed. “You mentioned those people again. Who are they? Are you referring to the Heavenly Dao of the Lingwu Continent?”

That was the strongest existence Ye Chen could think of!

“The Heavenly Dao is far inferior to those people.” The old man chuckled.

“Let’s cut to the chase. There are two things.”

“Firstly, you came from the Kunlun Mountains, and the resulting aura on your body is too obvious and easily detected by the experts. This is because you didn’t enter the Lingwu Continent according to the usual method. If you have the chance, you can go to the immortal ascension passageway. Perhaps you can meet some seniors who also came from the Kunlun Mountains. At that time, the mark of the Kunlun Mountains on your body will be completely removed, which will help you stay hidden.”

“You have caused quite a commotion in the Land of the Universe and even the Soul Race. If you aren’t careful, you might just end up fighting more of your enemies than you can handle.”

“If the truly powerful experts take action, they will be able to eliminate a small fry like you with just their spiritual pressure.”

Ye Chen was stunned. He felt a chill run down his spine.

He knew that the old man would not lie to him. His current strength was simply not enough to contend with that mysterious force.

He was about to ask something when the old man interrupted him. The old man had suddenly sensed something and looked toward the northwest.

“Hmph!” He snorted coldly. “It seems that those guys haven’t set their eyes on you yet, but you’ve been targeted by others in advance.”

“I’m not afraid of those little fellows, but my existence cannot be discovered by some people. Otherwise, not only you, but even your grandfather’s plan will be ruined.”

“I will leave first. You can continue on your way. I will come back to find you in a few days. I hope you can leave the auction alive!”

After saying that, the old man disappeared from Ye Chen’s sight.

Ye Chen knew that once he entered this trap, it would be very difficult for him to leave. He also knew that at present, he was not strong enough. There were some things that he was not qualified to know. He could only take things one step at a time.

He looked in the northwest direction and shook his head helplessly. Then, he continued his journey in the direction of the Dugu family’s territory.

…

In a mountain range called the Land of a Thousand Swords in the northern region, there were huge swords that was thousands of feet tall on each peak. Sword qi and clouds were dancing around them, making them seem especially ethereal. Atop a certain 10,000-foot-tall holy mountain, there was a dazzling palace.

The huge palace was completely constructed from Dao Integration-grade materials!

It was a palace-type Dao Integration-grade artifact!

The primary use for palace-type artifacts was that they could fit people inside, and then be shrunk down in size and carried around. However, this palace stood on the holy mountain and had not been moved for tens of thousands of years.

A large group of cultivators had surrounded the palace. Some were dressed in black robes, some in red robes, white robes, and so on. They were the cultivators from the Hall of Souls, the Holy Dragon family, and the Hundred Immortals Palace. From within the palace, and around it, there were cultivators from the Myriad Swords Palace, who were all holding swords and flying in the air. Their white robes were dyed blood-red. It seemed that after a bloody battle, most of the territory had been occupied. Only the palace at the core had not been taken!

This was the headquarters of the Myriad Swords Palace!

Just as Venerable Immortal Qing Jian had told Ye Chen, the Myriad Swords Palace was under attack. They had suffered heavy losses after being attacked by five Star Aperture realm experts, twelve Creation realm experts, and even more Dao Integration and Primordial Chaos realm experts.

In the palace, the five Star Aperture realm experts sat in the hall, as well as Venerable Immortal Qing Jian and the other sixteen Creation realm experts. Their injuries were not light, and many Creation realm experts’ limbs had been cut off and could not be healed!

“Everyone, the current situation is dire. We can leave, but those disciples can’t!”

“The palace has been surrounded and sealed. We can’t shrink it and take it away!” Divine Deity Raging Flame, who was seated at the center said helplessly.

He was the palace master of the Myriad Swords Palace, and was a Star Aperture expert. However, even a mighty expert like him was unable to defeat the allied forces that were besieging them. Had it not been for his profound cultivation and exquisite sword techniques, he would have been severely injured!

“Escape?”

“No!”

“What’s going to happen to the thousands of disciples in the palace if we leave?” Divine Deity Frost Sword shouted angrily. “What about the thousands of Divine King realm disciples, hundreds of Primordial Chaos realm guardians, and the Dao Integration elders who died in battle?”

“Aren’t we going to avenge them?”

“Hall of Souls, Holy Dragon family, Hundred Immortals Palace… These damned b*stards!”

“Do they think that they can get away with this?”
