Chapter 1578: Huang Can Is Finally Here

Chapter 1578: Huang Can Is Finally Here Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Chen Zhifan continued, “You’re fine. Huang Can won’t touch you, but I can’t go back…”

“Fortunately, after so many years, I have made preparations. Back then, by chance, I found a cave in the Forest of Shadows. I’m going there to hide until I successfully break the restrictions. Until then, I won’t come out. Right, what are your plans?”

“I’ll protect you,” Ye Chen said without hesitation.

Chen Zhifan’s gaze on Ye Chen grew warmer, but he still shook his head. “There’s no need for that. First of all, you have to participate in the Immortal Ascension Tournament. Breaking the restrictions won’t happen overnight.”

“Secondly, that cave is very safe for me. It’s impossible for Huang Can to find it. Even if he does find it, he won’t be able to deal with its defenses.”

“Besides, Ye Chen, even though you’re far stronger than your peers, are you sure you can protect me against a Dao Integration realm expert like Huang Can?” Chen Zhifan suddenly laughed.

Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed. He placed his hands behind his back and said, “A Dao Integration realm expert is not a big deal. I’ve even killed a first-level Creation realm expert!”

Although he had killed Venerable Immortal Spear Fire thanks to Ji Lin’s blood essence, he had indeed killed one.

The forces of the western region would probably be scared out of their wits when they heard his name.

At this moment, Ye Chen’s body erupted with a strong killing intent!

This was proof that he was stained with blood and bathed in blood!

This powerful aura even startled Chen Zhifan, and for a moment, he actually felt that it was believable.

However, in the end, Chen Zhifan could not help but feel amused. He was almost fooled by Ye Chen’s imposing manner.

A Divine King realm cultivator killed a Creation realm expert?

What a joke!

That being said, Chen Zhifan did not intend to expose Ye Chen. He laughed and patted Ye Chen’s shoulder. “I trust you, and you should trust me. I’m not so easy to kill. Take this!”

Chen Zhifan waved his hand and threw a jade token to Ye Chen.

“This is?”

“I don’t have anything to give you, but this is the token to enter that cave.”

“The location of this cave is also recorded in it. I have nothing else to give you, only this.”

“However, don’t underestimate it. According to my investigation, this token can open more than one cave. Also, I’m sure that this cave was left behind by an extremely powerful expert.”

“The one I obtained was only the temporary cave abode of that mighty expert. There aren’t any treasures left inside. However, if you’re lucky enough, you might be able to inherit his inheritance if you discover other cave abodes of that mighty expert in the future!”

“Brother Chen, you…” Ye Chen knew what the inheritance of a mighty expert meant. Even if he had the Samsara Graveyard, it was still a great opportunity for him. One could never have too many inheritances!”

“Alright, there’s no need to say anything else. I consider you my brother. There are a total of three tokens, and I still have two. I’m keeping them anyway. If I don’t give them to you, who else can I give them to? Moreover, the inheritance might not end up as yours.”

Ye Chen knew that the inheritance of such mighty experts could only be inherited by one person and was extremely precious.

The fact that Chen Zhifan was willing to give this to him meant that he had already treated him as a close friend. As such, Ye Chen did not refuse.

He knew that if he were in his shoes, he would do the same.

Between brothers, there was no need for words!

Seeing Ye Chen accept it, Chen Zhifan laughed heartily and waved him off.

“Alright, you can go back. I should go into seclusion to break the restrictions. After being interrupted by Huang Yuan, you didn’t manage to do what you wanted to do, right?

“The Immortal Ascension Competition isn’t that simple. If you’re not in a hurry to leave after the competition, you can come to the cave to find me.”

“Take care, Brother Chen,” Ye Chen nodded and replied.

With that, he turned around and headed in the direction of Heaven Ascension City.

…

After bidding farewell to Chen Zhifan, Ye Chen returned to Heaven Ascension City. At the same time, he was constantly circulating the Spirit Seeking Technique. The Spirit Seeking Technique consumed very little spiritual energy. He strolled around Heaven Ascension City and occasionally went to the shops to buy some things he liked.

At the same time, Ye Chen noticed that the people on the road were pointing at him. It seemed that he had gained some reputation in Heaven Ascension City by killing Huang Yuan.

In half a day, Ye Chen had explored half of Heaven Ascension City, but still could not sense the aura of the Reincarnation Tablet. He could not help but feel a little disappointed. However, it was normal when he thought about it. If this thing was so easy to discover, it would not be so heaven-defying.

At this moment, an angry roar suddenly spread throughout the entire city.

“Who killed Huang Yuan?!”

He was here! Huang Can was finally here!

Although Heaven Ascension City was the place where the Immortal Ascension Competition was held, it was actually just a small city in the Lingwu Continent. The main force here was the Immortal Ascension Pavilion. Huang Can was a third-level Dao Integration realm expert, and considered one of the stronger experts in the city.

If it was any other time, Huang Can would definitely be even more arrogant as he searched for the person who killed Huang Yuan. However, at this moment, there were many factions in the city who were watching the competition. Huang Can could not afford to offend any of them. Therefore, in order to avoid getting himself in trouble, he restrained himself.

Ye Chen glanced in the direction of the voice and ignored it as he continued to look around the city.

Seeing that no one responded, Huang Can thought that the other party was afraid and felt slightly relieved. If it had been someone from a major force, for the sake of the dignity of the force, they would definitely respond to his question.

In fact, if someone from a large faction had responded, Huang Can would not have questioned him at all. Instead, he would have apologized to the other party. This angry shout was only to protect his dignity in Heaven Ascension City.

However, when he understood what had happened and found out that Huang Yuan had been forced to commit suicide after Ye Chen broke his limbs, he could not help but burn with anger.

Ye Chen! It was Ye Chen again!

What made him so angry that he wanted to vomit blood was that although Ye Chen was just an ant that he could trample to death at will, he could not attack Ye Chen at all because of the spirit contract.

He was a Dao Integration realm expert, but he had actually suffered losses in the hands of a mere Divine King realm cultivator.

He was helpless, which made him even more infuriated.

However, Ye Chen remained unbothered. While he was strolling around, he was studying the Returning Origin Slash that Huang Yuan had used earlier.

He did not lack martial techniques, but he was rather interested in this one. When the Origin Returning Slash was cultivated to its peak, it would display far more power than the spiritual energy used to activate it.

It was very suitable to be used as one of his normal attacks.

Ye Chen was extremely talented. With just a casual glance, he roughly understood the essence of the martial technique, and he was confident that he could achieve the initial success stage of this technique before the competition commenced.

At the same time, he secretly cursed Huang Yuan for being a fool. This martial technique was not suited to be used in conjunction with a flying dagger, as it would greatly reduce its strength.

However, what Ye Chen did not know was that if it were not for the flying dagger, Huang Yuan would not have been able to use this martial technique at all…
