“Not good!” Ye Chen’s expression changed and he retreated rapidly. At the same time, the silver light barrier in front of him shone brightly and the Heavenly Scale Armor was fully activated.

At the same time, he raised his saber horizontally in front of his chest.

With a loud bang, boundless demonic energy howled and an extremely deep pit appeared where Lin Yang was standing. This explosion actually caused the water in the cold pool to overflow and spread everywhere.

Black fog billowed and covered the sky.

Suddenly, a red light wrapped in a cloud of black fog flew out of the sea of demonic energy and into the sky. A blurry face appeared amidst the black fog. It was Lin Yang!

It was unknown what secret technique he had used to preserve his soul when he self-destructed, but he wanted to take advantage of the chaos of the explosion to escape!

Lin Yang’s face was filled with ecstasy. Although he had lost his physical body, as long as his soul was fine, he could still recover his cultivation after finding a suitable body.

At that time, he would definitely make Ye Chen pay the price!

However, before he could fully smile, a dazzling golden light appeared in front of him. The golden light emitted an extreme Yang energy, which was the nemesis of demonic cultivators’ souls!

He vaguely saw a figure within the golden light, and fear filled his face.

“No!”

Lin Yang’s soul let out a mournful wail as it was swallowed by the golden light and turned into green smoke.

Ye Chen exhaled lightly. With a wave of his hand, he took Lin Yang’s storage ring and a crimson defensive artifact.

When Xiao Yao saw this, he smiled and said, “Kid, although you weren’t affected much by Truth Island, your spiritual sense is far less sensitive than it was outside. That’s why you didn’t notice that this guy was about to self-destruct. Fortunately, he only used a smaller self-destruction in order to ensure that his soul escaped safely. Otherwise, you would have really suffered.”

Ye Chen nodded. He had learned his lesson this time. It seemed that he had pay extra attention during his fights here. He could not give his opponents opportunities to use their trump cards or self-destruct.

Thinking this, he looked at the Heavenly Scale Armor on his body and his eyes revealed a satisfied expression. This defensive artifact was indeed powerful. Although Lin Yang’s self-destruction was not as powerful as one intending to truly perish, the explosion was still two to three times stronger than his full-powered attack.

Despite this, the Heavenly Scale Armor in his hand had completely blocked the attack when he activated it. It seemed that the Heavenly Scale Armor had no problem blocking the full-force attack of an expert below the Creation realm.

However, the consumption was too great. After activating the Heavenly Scale Armor to resist Lin Yang’s self-destruction, Ye Chen’s spiritual energy reserves were instantly reduced by thirty percent.

After this battle, he now only had less than 20% of his spiritual power left.

However, this made him even more confident in his own strength and capabilities in dealing with Dao Integration realm experts on Truth Island.

Although the Green-eyed Demonic Snake was far more powerful than the average Dao Integration realm human expert, Ye Chen believed that he would still be able to fight it if he was in his peak condition.

After Ye Chen had calmed himself down, he finally turned his head and looked at Zhu Liang, who was also within range of Lin Yang’s self-destruction.

However, he did not seem to be injured. Clearly, he had used some method to block the impact.

“Kid,” Xiao Yao reminded him, “Although this person is also a Dao Integration realm expert, in your current state, it will not be easy to deal with him.”

Ye Chen furrowed his brows. His spiritual energy reserves were already lacking. It seemed that he needed to focus on properly raising his cultivation level.

He looked at Zhu Liang calmly. He did not intend to do anything to Zhu Liang. After all, Zhu Liang had not tried anything funny during the battle, and had even tried to avoid conflict with him.

Ye Chen was about to leave this place. He wanted to recover to his peak condition as soon as possible. Truth Island was full of danger, so he needed to be ready for anything.

Furthermore, thanks to the Heavenly Oath, he could not use the power of the Samsara Graveyard.

Moreover, the battle had alerted some of the demonic beasts on Truth Island, so this place was no longer safe.

However, just as he was about to leave, Zhu Liang stopped him.

“Hmm?” Ye Chen raised an eyebrow. “What? You want my life too?”

Zhu Liang hurriedly shook his head and said, “I wouldn’t dare. I already saw what happens to those who want to kill you.”

“Then why did you stop me?”

Zhu Liang glanced at the messy battlefield. Lin Yang and Wan Xin’s bodies were nowhere to be found.

Actually, he did not care whether Lin Yang and Wan Xin died or not. He looked down on these two people and did not have any thoughts of avenging his fellow disciples.

However, the fact of the matter is that they had risked their lives to come to Truth Island to hunt down that traitor, but now two of them were dead.

Zhu Liang’s strength was limited, so how could he pursue the traitor himself?

Although the traitor was ambushed by Lin Yang, he was too strong. Even if he was injured now, Zhu Liang was not confident that he could defeat him, much less capture him.

Therefore, Zhu Liang made a decision. At present, this was the only way to have a chance to defeat the traitor. He raised his head slightly and looked into Ye Chen’s eyes as he said solemnly, “Forgive me for being presumptuous, but I have a favor to ask of you, Fellow Daoist!”

“Hmm?”

Ye Chen gave Zhu Liang a strange look.

Although he did not have any grudges with Zhu Liang, they were strangers who had just met. This person actually asked him for a favor. Was there something wrong with his brain?

“Of course it can wait until after you recover,” Zhu Liang said with a smile.

“My name is Zhu Liang.”

“Calling you Fellow Daoist seems unfamiliar, so why don’t I call you Brother Ye?”

“I’m not interested in your request, so I’ll be leaving first.” Ye Chen waved his hand.

Zhu Liang quickly said, “Brother Ye, what you used just now was Gengjin energy, right?”

“Hmm?” Ye Chen tilted his head slightly and looked at Zhu Liang in surprise. He had completely refined the Gengjin energy and it was now like his own spiritual energy.

Moreover, Gengjin metal was rare to begin with. Ordinary people would not be able to recognize it at all. Despite this, Zhu Liang had actually discovered it.

Could it be that this person knew about the Gengjin metal?

He knew that the Demonic Eye was extremely interested in Gengjin metal, so if he could find more, perhaps the Demonic Eye could awaken earlier.

“So what?”

It was not a big deal that he discovered it.

“Then…” Zhu Liang’s smile grew wider. “Brother Ye, are you interested in Gengjin metal?”
