"Hey, Linley, you actually came here as well."
Just as Ye Chen raised his head to look at the stone tablet in front of him, he suddenly heard a cry of surprise.
Ye Chen turned around and saw a woman dressed in white with an icy expression standing not too far away.
"You are … Xue Jing?" Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, then immediately guessed the identity of this woman.
The only person here who could recognize him was that woman named Xue Jing.
Fort Lord Lin and his wife had been worried that Ye Chen would run into Xue Jing here.
They did not expect that Ye Chen would run into Xue Jing as soon as he arrived here.
Xue Jing's face was icy cold as she stared at Ye Chen and said, "I didn't expect that even a piece of trash like you, Ye Chen, would be able to come here to train.
But based on your talent, you won't be able to achieve anything in this lifetime. "
"That's hard to say." Ye Chen pursed his lips and could not be bothered with Xue Jing anymore.
Xue Jing stared at Ye Chen's figure. Her eyes were first stunned for a moment, then filled with anger.
In the past, this Linley would be like a dog following by her side. The reason why Xue Jing had been so vicious and injured Linley was because she was about to leave the Lin Family Fort and felt that Linley was no longer useful.
Who knew that Linley would actually follow her here.
If Linley still treated her with the same respectful attitude as before, then it would be fine. But now, Linley was extremely cold towards her. This made Xue Jing extremely angry.
"Senior apprentice-brother Wen." Just as Xue Jing's face was filled with malevolence, another group of warriors walked over.
Xue Jing's face instantly transformed into a gentle smile as she took the initiative to greet the man walking at the front of this group of warriors.
This man called Wen Tai was the strongest among the martial artists who had just arrived.
During this period of time, Xue Jing had curried favor with Wen Tai.
"There's a newcomer." Wen Tai and the others, upon seeing Ye Chen, revealed looks of joy in their eyes.
Newcomers like Ye Chen were generally not very strong, so they were easy to bully.
Just like this group of martial artists around Wen Tai, the weaker ones had to carefully serve the stronger ones.
Now that an even weaker newcomer had arrived, he would naturally become the target of these weakest cultivators.
"Hey, newcomer."
Immediately, a cultivator beside Wen Tai stepped forward, intending to teach Ye Chen a lesson.
Ye Chen frowned and turned around, coldly looking at these martial artists.
Xue Jing stood at the side and glanced at Ye Chen. Her eyes were still cold.
Although she had grown up with Linley, in reality, Xue Jing didn't have any feelings for him. In fact, in the depths of her heart, she hated Linley more.
Why was it that Linley had been able to become the son of the master of the castle and had access to countless training resources, while she, who was so talented, was only able to become Linley's maidservant, and was even given cultivation treasures by Linley?
It was this hatred that made Xue Jing ruthlessly attack Ye Chen before she left.
Now, as she glanced at Ye Chen, Xue Jing's heart was still filled with unwillingness.
Suddenly, Xue Jing's gaze landed on the necklace on Ye Chen's chest.
This necklace was the necklace that Lord Lin and his wife had given to Ye Chen. Ye Chen couldn't refuse, but in the end, he still kept the necklace by his side.
"Lord Lin and his wife actually gave this blue crystal necklace to Linley. It's said that this necklace can greatly increase one's training speed. It's such a waste to leave it in Linley's hands." Xue Jing's eyes lit up. She couldn't wait to snatch the necklace from Ye Chen's hands.
However, she was very clear that with so many people here, this necklace would never be hers.
With a flattering smile on her face, Xue Jing stuck close to Wen Tai and said softly, "Senior Brother Wen, the necklace that kid is wearing seems to be a treasure. Can you help me get it?"
"Necklace?" Wen Tai followed Xue Jing's gaze. Indeed, he saw the necklace on Ye Chen's chest.
Pursing his lips, Wen Tai said casually, "That's easy. Don't worry. From today onwards, this necklace is yours."
Waving his hand casually at someone beside him, the two warriors by Wen Tai's side immediately walked towards Ye Chen.
Xue Jing looked at this scene proudly.
She knew that these two warriors were the strongest warriors by Wen Tai's side. Their strength was second only to Wen Tai's, and they were only one step away from reaching the Supreme Dao Stage.
As for Ye Chen, a newcomer, it was impossible for him to defeat two half-step Supreme Dao warriors.
…
"Kid, hand over the necklace on your neck."
After the two warriors by Wen Tai's side walked out, they immediately stretched out their palms towards Ye Chen, wanting to snatch the necklace from Ye Chen's neck.
They were the same as Xue Jing, not putting Ye Chen in their eyes at all.
However, Ye Chen who was in front of them suddenly disappeared at this moment.
Bang!
A shocking scene appeared. These two warriors who attacked Ye Chen actually flew back backward.
Ye Chen, who had a calm expression, looked at everyone in front of him coldly as if he had not made a move before.
Wen Tai's expression changed greatly at this moment. Staring fixedly at Ye Chen, he said, "I didn't expect that the newcomer is actually an expert. Looking at your strength, it's at least already comparable to a genuine Supreme Dao warrior."
To the warriors who had just arrived here, the Supreme Dao Stage was already considered an extremely powerful existence.
Wen Tai's words made the expressions of the group of warriors around them all change greatly. They no longer dared to go and provoke Ye Chen.
Even Xue Jing's expression similarly changed greatly too, staring at Ye Chen with a face full of disbelief.
Looking at the strange gazes of the people around him, Ye Chen could not help shaking his head.
Actually, just now, he did not want to make a move with them. However, these two people actually came up and wanted to snatch his necklace.
This necklace was given to him by Fort Lord Lin and his wife. Although Ye Chen and Fort Lord Lin and his wife did not have too deep of a relationship.
However, this kindness, Ye Chen firmly remembered it at the bottom of his heart. This necklace naturally could not be snatched away by others casually.
With his strength, teaching two half-step Supreme Dao warriors a lesson was simply a piece of cake.
After casually teaching these two warriors a lesson, which could be considered as warning the people around him, Ye Chen immediately turned around and left. He simply could not be bothered to have any more contact with these warriors.
His purpose of coming here was not to cultivate, but to find Su Rouying.
In the following day's time, Ye Chen practically wandered around every corner of this fortress.
Apart from some forbidden places, Ye Chen walked around all the other places. At the same time, he also almost knew the names of all the quasi-Heaven-Human warriors here.
"As expected, Rouying's name is not here. Looks like Rouying is not here." Ye Chen walked around this fortress and muttered to himself in his heart.
In the entire Dark Kingdom, there were almost countless monarch level fortresses like this. There were at least tens of thousands of them.
Now, Ye Chen had only searched such a place. Of course, it was not very possible for him to find Su Rouying.
As soon as he thought of this almost boundless Dark Kingdom, Ye Chen felt a headache coming on.
If he really had to search everywhere in these monarch level fortresses, not to mention whether he had the strength to do so, it would be impossible for him to make it in time.
