Chapter 1873: Burden?

Chapter 1873: Burden? Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Song Jue, Yu Yuan, and Xie Pingping were all stunned. They had not expected Zheng Yuan to value Ye Chen so much. To protect Ye Chen, he even wanted Song Jue to apologize to Ye Chen?

Song Jue felt the veins on his forehead throbbing. Zheng Yuan was only a little stronger than him. How could he apologize to a mere peak-level Primordial Chaos realm piece of trash?

That would be insulting in its own right.

Both parties looked at each other coldly, and the atmosphere was tense.

Ye Chen looked at Song Jue and blandly said, “You said that you wanted my purple jade token?”

No one expected Ye Chen to speak at this moment. They turned to Ye Chen. When Song Jue saw that Ye Chen was still calm, he sneered and glared at Ye Chen.

“That’s right. You’d better leave the token behind and leave the secret realm on your own accord. I don’t want to bring a burden along into that dangerous lair.”

Zheng Yuan’s face darkened as he shouted, “Song Jue! I was the one who discovered this lair. Without my guidance, none of you can enter. Naturally, I will decide who I join forces with.”

What qualifications do you have to decide whether Fellow Daoist Ye stays or goes? Apologize to Fellow Daoist Ye immediately. If you don’t, please leave this group!”

Song Jue could not stand it anymore after Zheng Yuan refuted him so fiercely. His eyes were red, burning with killing intent. He stared at Zheng Yuan and shouted, “Zheng Yuan! Don’t think that just because you have some strength that you can get carried away! Am I someone you can call over and chase away as you please? If you continue to protect this kid, even you will die!”

Zheng Yuan’s eyes turned cold. He wanted to say something, but Ye Chen walked over to Song Jue and took out the purple jade token.” Okay, I’ll give you a chance. Take it.”

It was not only Song Jue and the other two. Even Zheng Yuan was stunned. He knew Ye Chen’s strength. Ye Chen should be as powerful as him. How could he give his purple jade token to Song Jue so easily?

Could it be that he had really made a mistake?

Was he afraid of Song Jue’s threats?

Song Jue laughed out loud. He looked at Zheng Yuan mockingly. “Is this the powerful warrior you found? He is so strong and proud!”

“He actually took the initiative to give me the token. How amazing is this?”

Zheng Yuan frowned. However, since Ye Chen had taken the initiative to do this, he could not say anything.

Song Jue was pleased with Zheng Yuan’s silence. He grabbed the purple jade token in Ye Chen’s hand and was about to put it in his pocket. However, the very next moment, his expression changed. He froze on the spot.

Ye Chen, on the other hand, was still as calm as ever.

Seeing this, Yu Yuan and Xie Pingping also revealed strange expressions. Yu Yuan asked directly, “Brother Song, what’s wrong? Why aren’t you moving?”

Song Jue did not answer Yu Yuan, but looked at Ye Chen in disbelief.

Zheng Yuan’s eyes sparkled. He found that Song Jue’s aura was surging. His muscles bulged, and his veins popped. His face turned red.

Despite this, Song Jue could not move at all!

He had already used all his strength to try and pull the Purple Jade Token out of Ye Chen’s hand. However, the Purple Jade Token seemed to be embedded in Ye Chen’s hand and would not move at all!

Song Jue was confused. How was that possible?

He was quite accomplished in terms of body refining cultivation and his strength and physique were stronger than most Creation realm experts. However, he was currently struggling to match a mere peak-level Primordial Chaos realm cultivator?

Gradually, Yu Yuan and Xie Pingping also noticed something amiss. They looked in shock at Ye Chen’s calm demeanor.

This young man was fighting against Song Jue, and it seemed like he was not exerting any effort at all. How could this young man be so powerful?

“What’s wrong?” Ye Chen blandly said to Song Jue. “Don’t you want it? Why don’t you take it away from me? The purple jade token is right in front of you, but you can’t even move it?”

Song Jue couldn’t stand it anymore after hearing Ye Chen’s mockery. He roared, “Release it!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he flipped his other hand and grabbed a bluish-purple spiritual axe that arced with streaks of lightning. At the same time, a blurry figure appeared behind him. His nomological power surged out. He did not hold back and tried to slash Ye Chen’s face with all of his strength!

A cold glint flashed across Ye Chen’s eyes. He straightened his body and the demonic and Gengjin energy engulfed his entire body. The strength in his hand increased by several times and, in an instant, he flung the purple jade token.

The force of his movement smashed Song Jue to the ground before the axe could reach him. There was a loud bang!

The ground shook violently and countless deep cracks spread under Ye Chen’s feet. The earth and rocks collapsed. Yu Yuan and Xie Pingping, who were standing close, immediately moved and dodged the shockwave. The place where Ye Chen had been standing collapsed into a huge pit.

Everyone at the scene was shocked. Ye Chen’s strength was so incredible? Was he still human?

Song Jue was hit hard by the force. His bones were broken!

His hand that was holding the purple jade token flopped down weakly. Ye Chen coldly took back his purple jade token and looked down at Song Jue.

Song Jue was not weak, and had avoided being smashed into nothingness by his full strength. Although he was heavily injured, he was not dead. If he was given time, he could recover.

The geniuses who could participate in the Rising Dragon Competition were indeed much stronger than ordinary cultivators of the same level.

The force supporting Song Jue was not ordinary either. They had prepared many life-saving items for him, but they did not have anything of the same level as Zhao Lei’s.

Even so, although his injuries seemed serious, Ye Chen knew that his condition was actually better than Zhao Lei’s.

Zheng Yuan looked at Song Jue and shook his head. He still said to Ye Chen, “Brother Ye, Song Jue is ungrateful, but he is here at my invitation. Please spare his life.”

Ye Chen glanced at Zheng Yuan and saw his sincere face. He nodded and took Song Jue’s storage bag and purple jade token. He absorbed the purple jade token’s energy.

Once the connection with the purple jade token was severed, Song Jue’s body was teleported out of the secret realm.

“Thank you, Brother Ye.” Zheng Yuan cupped his hands at Ye Chen.

At the same time, Yu Yuan and Xie Pingping were also walking toward Ye Chen carefully. When Ye Chen first arrived, they had underestimated him. However, out of respect for Zheng Yuan, they did not say it out loud like Song Jue.

However, now, how could they dare to look down on Ye Chen?

It was not only that. They were also deeply afraid of Ye Chen. If Ye Chen had not let Song Jue go, they would have left Zheng Yuan’s team on the spot.

That was why Ye Chen didn’t kill Song Jue.
