Chapter 554: A Misfortune in Tiannan!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Sword bead!
It was a magic tool that only existed in the cultivation world and was differentiated from a sword. It had the size of a pigeon’s egg. Although it was round, it could change its shape at will. In addition, its appearance was relatively small. Not only could it save a lot of supernatural power when facing an enemy, it could also achieve an unexpected effect.
This sort of magic tool was not considered a powerful technique. The truly powerful one was the talisman treasure refined by Golden Cores sages. The talisman treasure contained the full power of a Golden Cores sage’s attack.
Ning Teng hesitated after hearing what Ye Chen said. He bit his finger and dripped a drop of blood on the sword bead. Subsequently, he picked up the sword bead easily.
With a thought, the sword bead flew out of his hand and turned into a sword gleam, slashing at the stone door in front of them.
The few of them widened their eyes and looked nervously at the stone door. However, they realized that there were no changes to the stone door. Ning Ruolan pursed her lips, “Tsk, it’s nothing special…”
Before she could finish, Ning Teng’s expression changed. He grabbed the father and daughter and retreated a few steps back.
At the next moment, there was a crack on the stone door, and then numerous cracks appeared like a broken mirror.
Boom!
The heavy stone door collapsed.
The power of one sword was so terrifying!
At that moment, Ning Ruolan, her father, and Ning Teng became speechless, but their eyes were filled with deep shock.
Ning Teng, in particular, broke out in cold sweat.
If that sword gleam had landed on him…
As he thought to this point, he bowed deeply to Ye Chen after putting the sword bead away. He said emotionally, “The N-Ning family thank you for your kindness!”
He knew very well that if the Ning family continued to guard the scrap metal passed down from their ancestors, these things might rot in a century or two. However, the family had gained an additional treasure since Ye Chen refined all of them into a sword bead!
It was such a powerful magic tool. If the Ning family was in danger and he, the only Martial Dao master of the Ning family, controlled it, no one below the level of a master would be able to defeat him!
“Don’t worry about it!
As I said, this is the repayment for your kindness to Wushuang!”
Ye Chen took another deep look at the place where Wushuang had been before. He then turned around and walked out.
Once upon a time, a white-clad young man faced the sword forest alone, feeling dejected!
And now, it was the same for Ye Chen!
…
At the Tiannan Airport around 5 p.m., Ye Chen walked out while holding little girl Mengmeng and Qianqian in one hand. Yang Tian and Lin Tai, who had been waiting outside, welcomed him the moment they saw him.
Yang Tian gave Ye Chen a hug the moment he came up, “Old Ye, you’re half an hour late!”
“You’re on intermediate-stage Spirit Assembly now?”
Ye Chen glanced at him in surprise. He noticed that Yang Tian’s aura was much calmer now. It was a sign that his strength had increased.
“Of course. When you were not around, other than eating and sleeping, I spent all my time cultivating.”
Yang Tian grinned. Subsequently, he glanced at Lin Tai beside him in disdain, “I remember that someone started cultivating two months earlier than me, right? I’ve caught up to him now!”
Lin Tai’s face turned grim immediately, “How is that the same? If I were to butter up the patriarch every day, I would have reached mastery-stage Spirit Assembly long ago!”
He was the first to follow Ye Chen and also the first one who started cultivating. It had been almost half a year since then, but he had only reached intermediate-stage Spirit Assembly. Moreover, if not for the help of the large number of medicinal pills, his cultivation speed would have been even slower.
However, Yang Tian only started cultivating for less than three months before he broke through to intermediate-stage Spirit Assembly. As the saying went, there would be no hard feelings people did not compare each other. He was extremely depressed because of this. Yang Tian would often poke fun at him out of nowhere.
“Seems like you’ve gained quite a lot from the patriarch.”
Ye Chen glanced at Yang Tian with a forced smile.
In fact, Yang Tian’s talent was slightly worse than Lin Tai’s. Both of them had the same cultivation resources. In the end, Yang Tian improved at lightning speed. It was exactly what Lin Tai had said. Yang Tian had gained quite a lot from buttering up the Patriarch of Hell all day.
At this point, he seemed to have thought of something and reminded them, “I don’t care what the patriarch taught you, but you have to have your own opinions. You can’t just take whatever that’s given to you, especially if the patriarch were to teach you the Yin and Yang Integration Method and the Heavenly Yin Remedy Method. None of you should learn them.”
“Why not?” Yang Tian asked.
“You’ll find out when you ask the patriarch how he died!” Ye Chen smiled mysteriously and got into Lin Tai’s car with the two little girls.
Speaking of which, an instance like the Patriarch of Hell was one in a million in the cultivation world. He was able to create a technique like the Three-thousand Imperial Women Dao and that even made him a Tribulation Almighty.
If the patriarch had not forcefully brought three thousand beauties with him when he ascended, he would not have died under the Heavenly Tribulation.
But then again, even if the patriarch did not die and was lucky enough to ascend to the Immortal World with the three thousand beauties, he would still be captured and locked up in the Immortal World’s Prison Warden Mountain.
The reason being what he did was illegal!
Not only that, it was gang smuggling!
How could it be tolerated by the heavenly rules of the Immortal World? If it was during Ye Chen’s reign, with that guy Prison Warden’s hot temper, the patriarch would not be able to get out unless he was locked up for 10,000 years.
…
After they got into the car, Yang Tian could not help but ask, “Old Ye, where did the patriarch go? I haven’t seen him in days!”
Lin Tai who was in the driver’s seat could not help but look at Ye Chen.
“The patriarch is cultivating in seclusion somewhere. When the time comes, he will come out. During this period of time, you guys can cultivate in peace!”
Ye Chen chuckled softly and urged Lin Tai to drive. He then said, “Oh yeah, take good care of the Zhao family’s mother and daughter!”
He was looking forward to it too!
If the Patriarch of Hell broke through to Foundation Building, his strength would increase tremendously. The old monster was as cunning as a ghost. He loved to hide his abilities. He did not reveal many things to Ye Chen.
It could be said that other than Wushuang, among all the outsiders, Ye Chen was closest to the Patriarch of Hell. Perhaps it was because the both of them were cultivators.
As the car departed, Ye Chen lifted his eyes quietly to look at the streets that passed by. Surprise flashed across his calm expression as he could sense that there were more cultivators in Lin City than before.
Although there were many cultivators, they were one in a million compared to ordinary people. However, his Divine Consciousness sensed that there would be a cultivator out of three people on the street, and the weakest was an Internal Energy martial artist.
He could not help but ask, “Did anything major happen in Tiannan recently?”
The moment that was said, Lin Tai and Yang Tian’s expressions changed. They immediately fell silent as they hesitated to say something.
Ye Chen’s expression turned grim when he saw that, “What exactly happened?”
