Under the gaze of the monster, Ye Chen felt as if his entire body had been locked down by an invisible force. He was unable to move at all, and even the blood in his body seemed to have stopped flowing.
Just as Ye Chen circulated the Ghost Qi in his body and was about to use the Nine Palace Secret Manual, the monster suddenly jumped up from the ground. It seemed to be a little flustered. The jet-black wings on its back set off a gust of wind, causing the surrounding sand and stones to rustle.
Following which, its body suddenly blurred, and a ripple appeared around it before it disappeared.
The pressure that filled the entire cavern dissipated along with it. Ye Chen's eyes widened in shock. He looked around, but there was nothing in the cavern at all.
What was it afraid of?
Ye Chen was stunned for a moment before he shook his head. He didn't think too much about it and floated over to where the monster was. He looked around, but he didn't see anything, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Right at this moment, he suddenly glanced to the side and saw a small scale in the corner of a crack. It was about the size of a palm, and it was completely jet black and shiny. He raised his hand and beckoned, and the scale flew over and landed on his palm. It was icy cold to the touch.
Ye Chen took a closer look at it, but he couldn't find anything special about it. He tightened his grip, and he suddenly realized that the thin scale was as hard as steel. Even with his grip, he couldn't bend it in the slightest.
This monster isn't a Demigod, and it's impossible for it to be a Semi-Divinity realm cultivator. Why is the ghastly aura on its body so dense?
It must be at least a hundred million! Even with the thirty times boost from the Nine Halls Manual, I can only deal 30 million ghastly aura damage. That's not enough to deal any damage to it. I can only activate the Divine Flame set!
Based on Gene Rank, the genes of the Xuanyuan Clan are ten times that of ordinary humans, so they can store ten times more ghastly aura. The Purplecloud Island Master and the others can store ten million ghastly aura at most!
Ye Chen pondered. This monster is even more terrifying. Its Gene Rank should be several hundred or even a thousand times that of ordinary humans!
Why did it run away as soon as it saw me?
"On top of that, the sand in the Ghost Stone Mine is extremely unique. It's no ordinary sand. Even if a Specter Deity were to activate Specter Mode, they wouldn't be able to pass through the Ghost Stone Mine.
Ye Chen frowned and kept the scale into the rune space. Then, he looked around the empty mountain range for a while. He did not find any Ghost Stone ores, so he had no choice but to leave. He left the Ghost Stone Mine and dug another deep hole on the other side.
At the end of the day, Ye Chen passed the security check and obtained his Stone of Suppression. He then boarded a flying ship and left the Ghost Stone Mine, returning to the Scarlet Fall Gate.
As soon as Ye Chen got off the spaceship, he felt that the atmosphere was a little strange. The people around him were looking at him strangely. Some people were standing in the distance, pointing and whispering to each other. They seemed to be whispering to each other, but they were covered by the Ghost Qi barrier, so no one could hear them.
Ye Chen frowned and clenched his fists.
At this moment, a figure flew over and stopped in front of Ye Chen. He had a tall stature and a pair of long black horns on his head. He was a descendant of the Demonic Ox Race. He looked arrogant and looked at Ye Chen coldly. "You are Ye Chen?
The Elder wants you to follow me. "
Ye Chen glanced at him and knew that this man was ranked ninth among the outer disciples. Such a person was one in a million. He actually came to invite him personally.
"He's already here …" Ye Chen muttered in his heart. He didn't say anything, and followed the man from the Ox Demon Clan.
The young man from the Ox Demon clan was leading the way with a cold and arrogant expression on his face. Wherever he passed, everyone automatically got out of his way with a look of reverence on their faces. One could well imagine the rallying power of this young man from the Ox Demon clan as he was able to rank ninth among hundreds of millions of outer sect disciples.
He was disdainful and thought, "The Elder told me to be polite. Hmph, he's just a nameless junior and he wants me to invite him personally. What a waste of my cultivation time!"
Thinking of this, he felt a little irritated. His figure flickered and left a few afterimages in the vast square before disappearing.
Whoosh!
Ye Chen's figure was neither fast nor slow as he followed the Ox Demon youth. His expression was indifferent as he lowered his head. No one knew what he was thinking.
The Ox Demon immediately noticed the situation and was a little surprised. "I am an Invincible Ghost God expert with a million Ghost Qi and a physique of ninety thousand. How can I not shake him off?"
A trace of arrogance was aroused from the bottom of his heart. His figure flashed and his speed immediately soared. Like a beam of light, he rushed toward a distant building.
A cold glint flashed in Ye Chen's eyes. The Ghost Qi in his body went berserk and exploded on its own, causing his speed to increase sharply. From beginning to end, he followed the Ox Demon youth without falling behind in the slightest.
"After such a long time, the incomplete Star Destruction Upanishad had gradually been perfected while hunting demonic beasts on the Star Continent.
Through the explosion of my Ghost Qi, I can double the might! "
Ye Chen pondered over the following changes while following the Ox Demon youth.
The Ox Demon youth was even more surprised. He didn't expect that he would still be unable to shake off Ye Chen even though he was flying at full speed. He couldn't help but take a few more glances at him and frowned, "It turns out that he's a hidden expert and also an Invincible Ghost God expert. I wonder who will be stronger after using the secret manual?"
Thinking of this, his heart was burning. He couldn't wait to exchange pointers with Ye Chen.
However, he didn't dare to act recklessly due to the elder's previous instructions.
Before long, the two arrived at a luxurious hall. More than a dozen figures were standing inside. There were twenty to thirty thrones, each of which was twenty to thirty meters high and radiated golden light. If the ancient dragon throne of China were to be placed in front of these thrones, the dragon throne would have been moved to tears.
As soon as they entered the hall.
Ye Chen immediately sensed that the air was filled with a dense divine power. The faint dignified aura caused him to feel deep veneration. He didn't dare act rashly. With a calm expression, he followed the Ox Demon in unhurriedly.
"Elder, Brother Ye Chen is here!"
The Ox Demon youth cupped his fists and respectfully said to the figure sitting on a throne in the hall. He had already changed the way he addressed Ye Chen to "Brother".
The figure was tall and slender. He was clad in a snow-white robe and held a withered wooden cane in his hand. His skin was fair and smooth, without the slightest wrinkle. His long hair was as white as snow, and his eyes were filled with the vicissitudes of life. One could easily guess his age.
"Withdraw!" The elder waved his hand.
"Yes!"
The Ox Demon youth lowered his head and said respectfully. Then, he turned his head to take a glance at Ye Xiwen. He saw that this young man was still calm and composed in the face of this awe-inspiring palace. His expression was the same as usual. He couldn't help but feel admiration in his heart.
After the Ox Demon youth left, the tall iron doors of the hall slowly closed, as if isolating the outside world.
Ye Chen didn't panic. Instead, he calmly looked at the white-haired elder sitting on the dragon throne in silence.
"Young man."
Old men, middle-aged men, and beautiful women sat on the other dragon thrones as well. At this moment, everyone's gazes were focused on Ye Chen.
"You killed the Wind Moon family's Young Master Feng Mo?"
A stalwart middle-aged man asked in a deep voice. He was sitting upright on the dragon throne like an ancient fossil. His aura was steady and long. Divine power gushed out from all the pores on his body and wandered around. It seemed as if his whole person was in a hazy state.
Ye Chen's expression was as usual as he said, "Yes!"
The entire hall fell into silence.
A moment later, a beautiful lady with a slender figure scanned Ye Chen from head to toe. Her lips curled into a seductive grin as she said, "Do you know that the Clan Leader of the Wind Moon Clan is an advanced Semi-Divinity Realm expert, and a descendant of an ancient cultivation civilization? Even though it's only a second-tier faction in Blue Water City and is no match for our Scarlet Fall Sect, no one dares to mess with them."
Ye Chen's expression remained unchanged as he said, "I know."
A stalwart man couldn't help but say angrily, "You knew and you still did it?"
Ye Chen turned to look at him and said coldly, "If someone wants to kill you, are you going to let him kill you just like that?"
The stalwart man choked for a moment before he smiled bitterly and said, "What a ruthless brat!"
At this time, the white-robed old man at the top of the hall slowly opened his mouth. He stared at Ye Chen and said solemnly, "You are a Specter Immortal expert. Even though I estimate that you have reached the Invincible Specter Immortal realm, the gap between a Demigod and a Specter Immortal is like a chasm between heaven and earth. How did you kill him?"
Ye Chen's expression remained the same as he said in a low voice, "Disciple has a peak Peak Grade offensive Talisman that I obtained from a Remnant cave. At the critical moment, I used this Talisman. Originally, I only wanted to block for a while. I did not expect it to kill that person."
The atmosphere in the hall froze for a moment before the white-robed old man narrowed his eyes and said, "Which cave dwelling did you obtain it from?
Take it out and let me see! "
Ye Chen said indifferently, "I obtained it from a prehistoric ruin called the Heavenly Fault Cave Dwelling. I only have one amulet and I have already used it!"
The white-robed old man stared at Ye Chen for a long time and realized that he couldn't read any thoughts from this young man's face. He couldn't help but frown and said coldly, "The other party is a Demigod expert. If he wanted to kill you, you wouldn't be able to resist at all!
And according to the store's surveillance records, you used a set of high-level demigod rank armor to resist Young Master Feng's attack! "
"And now, the Wind Moon Family has come to the sect to ask for you!"
The white-robed old man glanced at Ye Chen and his expression turned gentle as he said, "As a member of our Scarlet Fall Sect, no matter what happens, the sect will protect you. Even if the sky falls, we will hold it up!
Moreover, this matter is the other party's fault. Hand over the armor set and the sect will help you settle this matter. "
Ye Chen's face slowly darkened.
When the others noticed that Ye Chen's expression was off, the robust man said hastily, "This armor set isn't for the sect but for the Wind Moon Family. Their Young Master has been killed by you, and they will absolutely not let the matter rest if you don't compensate them!"
