"Green Lotus Escape Technique!" The Saint Elder was stunned as he watched Ye Chen's figure disappear.
Other people might not have been able to see through Ye Chen's escape method, but the Saint Elder, who had read a lot of books, could recognize that the lotus that had appeared under Ye Chen's feet was a legendary mystical movement technique called the Green Lotus Escape Technique.
The Green Lotus Escape Technique was a martial technique created by a Sacred Clan ancestor 200,000 years ago. Its ability to escape was unparalleled. However, the Green Lotus Escape Technique was as difficult to learn as the 12 Primordial Spirit Scrolls. Therefore, after that ancestor, no one else in the Sacred Clan had managed to master the Green Lotus Escape Technique, and the Green Lotus Escape Technique had been completely lost.
However, Ye Chen had actually used the Green Lotus Escape Technique.
"No, it is not Ye Chen's Green Lotus Escaping Art. Instead, it is him who has awakened the spirit of that ancestor buried in the ancestral graveyard. Then, he borrowed that ancestor's spirit to activate the Green Lotus Escaping Art.
Could it be that Ye Chen can really borrow the power of the ancestral graveyard? "The Saint Elder exclaimed inwardly.
When he saw Ye Chen activate the Green Lotus Escape Technique, the Saint Elder was 90% convinced that Wu Chunqiu was right.
After all, the Cyan Lotus Escape Technique could only be used by that ancestor back then, and that ancestor was buried in the Ancestral Cemetery.
Even the Saint Elder had his doubts, let alone the other martialists around him.
"Ye Chen can actually use such a mystical movement technique. It seems like Wu Chunqiu was right. Ye Chen must be able to use the power of the Ancestral Cemetery."
"There are countless experts buried in the ancestral graveyard. Although these experts are already dead, their remaining strength is still not to be underestimated. With such a huge amount of strength, wouldn't one be invincible if one could really borrow it?"
"There must be some conditions for using this power. Otherwise, Ye Chen wouldn't have fled in such a sorry state. Instead, he would have slaughtered everyone here."
"Even if there are some conditions for using the power of the Ancestral Cemetery, it is still shocking enough. If this treasure falls into my hands, I will definitely be able to unleash even more power."
…
Around them, many people's eyes began to flicker with greed.
The Saint Book Elder could tell that Ye Chen had used the Green Lotus Escape Skill to escape.
However, the surrounding warriors didn't have such insight. In their opinion, the reason Ye Chen was able to leave so easily was because Ye Chen could borrow the power of the ancestral cemetery.
A treasure that could allow a cultivator to borrow the power of the Ancestral Graveyard was enough to drive all the surrounding cultivators crazy.
Wu Chunqiu's gaze swept across the faces of the surrounding cultivators. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly as he revealed a smug smile.
"I never thought that Ye Chen would be so stupid. He didn't stay here and continue to explain himself. Instead, he fled. This is equivalent to becoming an enemy of the entire Sacred Race. He is simply courting death."
After muttering to himself, Wu Chunqiu walked towards the Saint Book Elder and said with a solemn expression, "Saint Book Elder, this child can borrow the power of the Ancestral Cemetery. He is nearly invincible in the Ancestral Cemetery. If he continues to be an enemy of our Sacred Race, I'm afraid not many Sacred Race disciples will be able to stop him. Therefore, I suggest that we summon several seniors in secluded cultivation and have them hunt down Ye Chen."
The Saint Book Elder frowned and pondered for a moment. Finally, he nodded and said, "Alright, we'll do as you say."
In the ancestral cemetery, besides these young martial artists, there were also many Sacred Race powerhouses cultivating in seclusion.
Wu Chunqiu's goal was to lure these Sacred Race experts to kill Ye Chen.
These seniors in secluded cultivation were all experts of the older generation of the Sacred Race. If they attacked, Ye Chen absolutely wouldn't be able to escape.
…
Enveloped by the Green Lotus Escape Technique, Ye Chen's figure rapidly traversed half of the Ancestral Cemetery and entered a place of extreme yin.
Whoosh!
In the end, Ye Chen's figure suddenly landed in a place of extreme yin.
"Ye Chen, you shouldn't have chosen to leave just now. Once you leave, Wu Chunqiu will never be able to defend himself from the accusation."
"That's right. Ye Chen, although the situation just now was dangerous, as long as you can find a way to prove that you are the one who truly received the blessings of the gods, all of Wu Chunqiu's lies will naturally be exposed."
"Sigh, there's nothing we can do about it. The situation just now was indeed very dangerous. It's not strange that Ye Chen panicked."
…
Many Heroic Spirits sighed in Ye Chen's mind.
These Heroic Spirits thought that the situation just now had made Ye Chen panic, which was why he had chosen to flee in such a panic.
However, Ye Chen's expression was still as calm as ever.
After quietly waiting for the Heroic Spirits to make a ruckus for a while, Ye Chen said indifferently, "Seniors, do you think that if I had continued to stay in that situation just now, I would have had a better chance of clarifying the matter?"
The many Heroic Spirits attached to Ye Chen's body fell silent when they heard this.
Although they had made a lot of noise just now, when they thought about it carefully, if Ye Chen had really stayed and argued with Wu Chunqiu, the chances of him being at a disadvantage would have been much higher.
After all, Wu Chunqiu was now recognized as the second genius of the Sacred Race. She already had a certain foundation in the Sacred Race.
As for Ye Chen, he could only be considered an outsider in the Sacred Race.
Therefore, the higher-ups of the Sacred Race would definitely side with Wu Chunqiu in the end.
These Heroic Spirits had thought that Ye Chen had fled in a hurry because he was afraid.
Now that Ye Chen had asked them this question, they immediately felt that Ye Chen still had a very calm temperament.
This meant that Ye Chen hadn't fled because he had been scared. Instead, he had planned the entire situation in his mind and made the most advantageous decision in the end.
When he saw that the Heroic Spirits had fallen silent, Ye Chen explained slowly, "Seniors, the situation just now was a trap that Wu Chunqiu had carefully designed for me. With him by my side, it would be almost impossible for me to explain the matter clearly.
Therefore, there was no need for me to waste my breath. I only needed to use the simplest method to completely destroy Wu Chunqiu's scheme. "
"What's the simplest method?" asked a Heroic Spirit.
In fact, most of the Heroic Spirits attached to Ye Chen had already guessed what Ye Chen was thinking.
"It's very simple. As long as I defeat Wu Chunqiu, everything will naturally be clear." Ye Chen narrowed his eyes slightly.
The reason Wu Chunqiu had his current status in the Sacred Race was because the people of the Sacred Race had mistakenly thought that he had attracted the blessings of the gods. Furthermore, Wu Chunqiu's talent was rather impressive.
However, as long as Wu Chunqiu was defeated by Ye Chen, the many halos around him would immediately dissipate by a large margin.
When that happened, Ye Chen would naturally have the same right to speak as Wu Chunqiu.
If he wanted to explain what had happened today clearly, it would naturally be much simpler than it was now.
At the end of the day, the martial world was still a world where strength was respected. Without strength, it would be difficult to explain things clearly, even if one was right.
However, Ye Chen's current predicament was how he was going to defeat Wu Chunqiu.
Wu Chunqiu's cultivation base had already reached the Fourth Sky of the Divine Path. When they had fought previously, Ye Chen had clearly sensed that Wu Chunqiu's combat strength had exceeded the 37th level of the Mythical Battle Tower.
