The atmosphere of the entire space suddenly became strange.
Chang Qingshan's questioning was aggressive and even had a hint of coercion, causing the crowd to reveal doubtful gazes. It was clearly the Heavenly Flame Dynasty that violated the rules first, so why did Chang Qingshan point the spearhead at Ye Chen?
Could it be that Chang Qingshan and the Heavenly Flame Dynasty had some shady business in private?
Not far away, Mo Wugui's cold gaze was firmly fixed on Ye Chen. He felt more and more doubtful in his heart, and even had an impulse to go up and fight Ye Chen to thoroughly verify his guesses and doubts.
Originally, Lin Xinghan had doubts about Ye Chen, but now, when he saw Chang Qingshan and Mo Wugui's gazes, he finally understood. This Ye Chen was a member of the Sacred Clan, and the riot in the thirteenth palace back then was also caused by him.
But he couldn't understand why Ye Chen would participate in the Battle of the Dynasties. Wasn't this the same as jumping into a fire pit?
And most importantly, since Ye Chen was a member of the Sacred Clan, then why wasn't Left Glabella's figure there?
Back then, Ye Chen didn't care about the Heavenly God Palace's pursuit and rescued her from the thirteenth palace. The friendship between the two of them was comparable to mountains and oceans. Logically speaking, Left Glabella would definitely secretly protect Ye Chen, so that Ye Chen wouldn't suffer any harm.
But now, Ye Chen had come to Heaven Martial City alone. It was incomparably strange.
At this moment, Ye Chen naturally didn't know that because of Chang Qingshan's two questions, Lin Xinghan already knew his identity.
He met Chang Qingshan's gaze, and although great waves surged in his heart, his face was still incomparably calm. He said indifferently, "Although I haven't entered the Saint Realm and can't cultivate Soul Power, I have a Grandmist Spiritual Treasure that can block Soul Attacks. What, is there a rule that participants can't use Spiritual Treasures in the Battle of the Dynasties?"
As he spoke, Ye Chen glanced at the armor on Duanmu Yu's body, and his tone was full of mockery.
"I've never heard of a Grandmist Spiritual Treasure that can block Soul Attacks. Can you take it out for me to take a look?"
Chang Qingshan's voice carried an irresistible tone, as if he was a high and mighty king, and Ye Chen was a commoner who must listen to his orders.
"Heavenly King of Qingshan, aren't you a bit too?"
Just as Ye Chen was hesitating, Lin Xinghan suddenly spoke. His figure flickered, and he slowly landed in front of Chang Qingshan. He sneered, "It's not up to you to decide whether or not to display other people's things. Don't tell me you want to use your power as the Green Mountain Heavenly King to force Ye Chen?"
"Or are you saying that you, as a member of the Deity Race, are ordering Ye Chen, as a human, to obey your orders?"
................ n..
. As a member of the Heavenly Deity Race, he naturally looked down on the human race. However, he couldn't say such words out loud.
The people in front of him came from the Thirteen Dynasties. They were the masters of various major forces. The influence of any one of them was enough to cause chaos in the Tianhua Continent. Especially this Ye Chen. The Qinwu Dynasty he was from had shown signs of rising in recent years. There were no less than ten Saint Dao powerhouses.
If the Qinwu Dynasty was dissatisfied because of Ye Chen, it wouldn't be worth it.
What's more, Chang Qingshan only had suspicions now. He didn't have any real evidence. If he made a mistake, he wouldn't be able to show his face. He would also bring shame to the Heavenly Deity Race.
Taking a step back, even if Ye Chen was a member of the Divine Race, he was so calm and unmoved at this moment. Perhaps he had secretly made some preparations to avoid being tracked down.
No matter what, he couldn't prove Ye Chen's identity. In the end, it would all be for nothing. It wouldn't be of any use.
Countless thoughts flashed through Chang Qingshan's mind, causing him to become cautious. Retracting his gaze, he said with an indifferent tone, "The battle between empires is sacred and inviolable. I will naturally maintain absolute fairness. Since Ye Chen has already stated that it was because of the Grandmist Spiritual Treasure, I will not pursue this matter any further."
After saying that, Chang Qingshan waved his hand and was about to return to his seat.
"Heavenly King Qingshan!"
Duanmu Chen thought that he had found a life-saving straw. Who knew that Ye Chen's words would make Chang Qingshan give up on the idea. He felt that it was inconceivable. He immediately shouted, hoping that Chang Qingshan would give him a way out.
The tragic thing was that Duanmu Chen didn't know that Chang Qingshan was in an extremely sullen state. Abruptly, he heard a shout and turned his head. His eyes were filled with coldness and a terrifying pressure descended, causing Duanmu Chen's heart to tremble and he almost fell to the ground.
"As the Heavenly Flame King, not only did you ignore the rules, you even spoke arrogant words and tried to distort the truth. This is a heinous crime. As the Heavenly King, I order you to get out of the Heaven Martial City immediately. During the battle between the dynasties, you are not allowed to enter. If you violate this, I will not let you off easily!"
Chang Qingshan said and turned around to leave, leaving Duanmu Chen standing in the same place. His face was filled with shock. The overbearing aura that belonged to a Heavenly Flame King had disappeared without a trace. He was like a prodigal dog.
"Trying to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice used to lure it!"
The eyes of the crowd flickered with excitement. The Heavenly Flame Dynasty was too lawless. They wanted to disrupt the competition and even tried to slander Ye Chen. Now, Ye Chen was safe and sound. The Heavenly Flame King was expelled from the Heaven Martial City and even angered Chang Qingshan. He deserved it.
At this moment, facing Duanmu Yu, a faint smile suddenly appeared on Ye Chen's calm face, and he faintly smiled.
However, this smile was incomparably dazzling in Duanmu Yu's eyes. It made him feel as if a nameless fire was surging in his chest. He took a step forward and charged at Ye Chen like a mad beast. Surging thunder fire coiled around his body, burning a long black scar on the ground of the stage.
"You bastard, I will kill you!"
Duanmu Yu had already gone crazy. He had lost all his rationality. His mind was filled with thoughts of killing Ye Chen.
Duanmu Yu had lost all his face in this battle.
Not only did he lose to Ye Chen, but he also humiliated the Heavenly Flame Dynasty. Even his father was mercilessly berated. Everything that he possessed, everything that he was most proud of, was destroyed. Everything was destroyed by Ye Chen. How could he endure this?
Feeling Duanmu Yu's crazy killing intent, Ye Chen slowly stepped forward. He looked at Duanmu Yu and asked softly, "What makes you think you can kill me?"
"Rumble …!"
Right after Duanmu Yu spoke, there was a sudden explosion.
Pitch-black Quintessence that seemed to want to drown the world soared into the sky and spread to every corner of the space. Everywhere the crowd looked, it was pitch-black darkness.
As for Ye Chen, he floated in the air, releasing boundless moonlight from his body. He did not move at all, but the moonlight flickered. Sometimes it was resplendent, sometimes it was dim, sometimes it disappeared, and sometimes it flashed. It was like the bright moon in the sky, flickering constantly.
"Let's end the grudge between us now."
