Gu Chongyang's body was filled with coldness. He looked at Lin Xinghan coldly like a beast.
He didn't expect that Lin Xinghan would appear here at this critical moment. As soon as he appeared, he helped Ye Chen to ridicule him and make him lose face.
Now, Gu Chongyang's situation was extremely awkward. He couldn't refute and couldn't escape unscathed.
"Ye Chen and the Heavenly Deity Palace have an inexplicable relationship. Last time, in the massacre, the Heavenly Deity Clan lost two cultivators. Those two were from the Heavenly Deity Palace. Elder Gu cares about his disciple, so he is so angry. Everyone, please don't laugh."
At this time, a young man walked out of the crowd.
This person was wearing white. He had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. His face was resolute. He stood there quietly, but everyone's eyes were attracted to him. His words just now seemed calm, but in fact, he gave Gu Chongyang a way out.
A strange look flashed in Ye Chen's eyes. He looked over and met the eyes of the young man in white. He felt that this gaze contained a terrifying power. It was like the sea of stars. It was easy to get lost in it.
"Break!"
His mind suddenly trembled. Devouring Profound Meaning bloomed. Ye Chen immediately devoured this gaze. His eyes changed and immediately returned to their original calm appearance.
"You have some skills."
The young man in white felt that his power was being devoured. His eyes narrowed slightly. However, he didn't feel surprised. Instead, a smile rose on his lips. He was full of playfulness.
"You can make Gu Chongyang lose face. That's not bad. Quit while you're ahead."
Lin Xinghan transmitted his voice to Ye Chen. Ye Chen nodded. He looked away and returned to his seat.
Seeing this, the crowd also knew that this matter would be left unsettled. They stopped watching and dispersed, continuing to wait for the Heavenly Blood Holy Mansion to open.
In a flash, Lin Xinghan and the others quickly arrived beside Ye Chen and Baguio. The group of people didn't restrain themselves and rushed forward, surrounding Ye Chen.
Lin Guanqi punched Ye Chen's shoulder twice. It didn't hurt, but it was filled with a strong sense of brotherhood. "You bastard, we haven't heard from you for half a year. Do you know that we were all worried about you?"
"Ye Chen has two beauties to keep him company and is as happy as a celestial being. How would he have thought of you?"
Wu Zichuan said jokingly. The crowd was stunned at first. Then they looked at the shy Liu Muyun and Baguio and burst into laughter.
When Su Qingxue saw this scene, a strange emotion flashed through her heart.
In this world, martial prowess reigned supreme. Almost everyone was pursuing the peak of the martial path. During cultivation, it was filled with schemes and schemes. Even if they were father and son, they might turn against each other for benefits.
However, Ye Chen's group had a very good relationship. Although they weren't family members, their relationship was even deeper than family members. For Ye Chen, they were willing to offend the Heavenly Deity Race and offend the lofty Void Piercing Realm experts.
Such an action caused her to be filled with envy.
"Now you should understand why the Old Ancestor wanted to hand the Eternally Sealed Ancient Pagoda to Ye Chen, right?" Su Wuyou patted Su Qingxue's shoulder with a smile.
The remnant soul of the Old Ancestor had already been extinguished and the Eternally Sealed Ancient Pagoda was already under the control of Ye Chen. If it was others facing such a situation, they would definitely break their promise and not be willing to help the Four Symbols Ancient Clan.
But Ye Chen wouldn't do so.
He was a righteous person. Because of a promise or even a sentence, he was willing to sacrifice himself for others. And it was precisely because of this that the Old Ancestor wanted to hand the Eternally Sealed Ancient Pagoda to Ye Chen.
Before today, Su Qingxue didn't understand. But after seeing the scene before her, she understood. She even felt that the Old Ancestor's decision was incomparably correct.
If it was her, she would also believe in Ye Chen and be willing to hand the Eternally Sealed Ancient Pagoda and even the Four Symbols Ancient Clan to him.
When the laughter gradually dissipated, Ye Chen looked at everyone and revealed a smile of reunion. He had long known that he would be reunited with everyone, but he still felt touched in his heart. Half a year had passed and everyone hadn't changed. In fact, their feelings for each other were even stronger.
…
"Why didn't Master Duan and Sect Leader Hua come with you?"
Ye Chen looked around and didn't see Hua Haoqiong and Duan Chongyu. He couldn't help but feel strange. He thought that everyone would come.
"Ever since the massacre, the Yuhua Sect moved to Heaven Martial City. In the past half a year, it wasn't easy for them to gain a foothold. Sect Leader Hua and Master Duan naturally have to guard the Yuhua Sect. If they knew that you would appear, they wouldn't stay in Heaven Martial City no matter what." Wu Zhenzi looked at Ye Chen with gratification and replied.
Ye Chen nodded to express his understanding. Hua Haoqiong was the Sect Leader of the Yuhua Sect. Naturally, he had to stay behind to control the overall situation.
Stepping forward, Ye Chen came in front of Lin Xinghan. He bowed slightly and said, "Palace Master Lin, back then, I promised to enter the Heavenly Blood Sacred Manor as an outer palace disciple. Now, I haven't fulfilled my promise. Please punish me."
Back then, in the outer palace, Ye Chen promised Lin Xinghan with certainty that he would enter the Heavenly Blood Sacred Manor and revitalize the outer palace to thank Lin Xinghan for his many help.
But things didn't go as planned. Too many things had happened during this period of time. Ye Chen couldn't fulfill his promise now. His heart was filled with guilt towards Lin Xinghan. He immediately apologized and didn't avoid this matter.
"Get up."
Lin Xinghan helped Ye Chen up. He didn't have any intention of blaming him at all. He smiled and said, "It's all in the past. You don't have to blame yourself. It's good that you're fine."
Although Lin Xinghan felt a little regretful that Ye Chen couldn't represent the outer palace to enter the Heavenly Blood Sacred Manor.
But if it weren't for Ye Chen, the outer palace wouldn't have become so close to the Yuhua Sect, and it would be even more impossible for genius youths like Lin Guanqi, Wu Zichuan, Su Mu, and Nie Feng to willingly join the outer palace.
There were regrets, but compared to what he had gained, it was negligible. Lin Xinghan didn't even have time to thank Ye Chen, so how could he blame him?
Feeling the sincerity in Lin Xinghan's eyes, Ye Chen immediately felt relieved. He changed the topic and asked, "Palace Master Lin, do you know the white-clothed youth who looked at me just now?"
When he thought of the white-clothed youth's eyes, Ye Chen had a particularly deep feeling. The feeling that this person gave him was very strong. He wasn't any weaker than Qiu Yehan. The two were on par.
"That person is called Gu Shenji. He is the son of the Deity Clan's patriarch and the number one genius of the Deity Clan."
Lin Xinghan's expression became serious. He said solemnly, "His talent is extremely strong. He is known as the strongest genius of the Deity Clan in a hundred years. Now, his cultivation has reached the Third Heaven of the Saint Dao. Moreover, he is the same as you. He is an Origin Array Master and has personally arranged a level seven Origin Array."
"Level seven Origin Array?"
Ye Chen's gaze hardened slightly. The Origin Array Dao, the further one progressed, the more extensive and profound it became. Ye Chen had already stepped into the level six Origin Array Master realm a long time ago. But today, he was still stuck at level six and couldn't make any more breakthroughs.
This wasn't because he had neglected his cultivation, but because the level seven was extremely profound. Even Ye Chen couldn't break through.
Gu Shenji's cultivation had already reached the Third Heaven of the Saint Dao and he was also a level seven Origin Array Master. His talent was indeed astonishing. No wonder he was known as the strongest genius of the Deity Clan.
"When this Gu Shenji looked at you just now, his eyes contained a tyrannical spiritual power. This person is definitely not a good person. It is very likely that he will harm you."
Xuanyuan Xiu's voice sounded. When Ye Chen heard it, he expressed his agreement. In his opinion, not only Gu Chongyang, but the other two geniuses of the Deity Clan were also full of hostility towards him.
