Thinking to this point, Ye Chen gaze flickered several times before he added, “If you tell me, I might consider giving you a quick death.”
“Ye, you’re really something!”
Guardian Hei, whose lower body had been severed smirked coldly, “As the saying goes, the winner takes it all. The Ghost Witch Cult did not lose unjustly. However, don’t even think about finding out who it is that’s giving us orders…”
Before he could finish, he suddenly screamed.
Pfft!
Blood splattered everywhere!
One of his arms was torn apart by Yinshi!
“Ahhh!”
Guardian Hei’s face distorted in pain!
Guardian Bai next to him was in fear!
Whoosh!
Another arm was torn!
Just as Yinshi was about to attack again, he discovered that Guardian Hei had lost his vitality. He had actually died from the pain. Yinshi could not help but reveal an unsatisfied expression.
Ye Chen looked at Guardian Bai again, “What about you?”
“I-I’ll tell you…”
Guardian Bai’s body suddenly trembled, and he hurriedly said, “I-It was the Heavenly Palace’s Palace Master Guan Shanyue who revealed it to the cult master. Guan Shanyue already knew that the cult master was looking for a body for the Sorcerer God…”
“Guan Shanyue?!”
An extreme killing intent emerged in the depths of Ye Chen’s eyes when he heard that. He then frowned and said, “How did Guan Shanyue know that my woman has the mysterious yin body?”
“No!”
Guardian Bai shook his head and said, “Guan Shanyue doesn’t know that. He only wants to kill you because of the grudges between you and him. Coincidentally, he also knew about the Ghost Witch Cult’s grand plan. So, he wanted to use you to kill someone. He didn’t expect this to happen…”
“Grudges?!”
Ye Chen could not help but scoff.
From the beginning to the end, Guan Shanyue was the one who provoked him first. Ye Chen reckoned that the Heavenly Palace was a special organization that had the same nature as the Dragon Soul. Therefore, they were always fighting.
Now, Guan Shanyue was using the Ghost Witch Cult to harm Su Yuhan!
The grudge had truly grown!
Just as he was thinking about it, Guardian Bai seemed to have recalled something. A look of resentment flashed across his face, “Mad Southern Ye, I don’t actually hate you.”
“Why?” Ye Chen was slightly surprised.
Guardian Bai gritted his teeth and said, “After thinking about it, I realized that everything that happened to the Ghost Witch Cult today was caused by Guan Shanyue. He made use of the cult to make us enemies and destroyed everything of the Ghost Witch Cult. He even caused me to end up like this. How can I not hate him?”
After saying that, his gaze turned ferocious, “Before I die, I’ll tell you a secret related to Guan Shanyue.”
Ye Chen looked at him calmly.
“Guan Shanyue once came to Yaoshan to meet the cult master!”
Guardian Bai took a deep breath in and enunciated word by word, “At that time, I accidentally overheard their conversation. It turns out that Dragon Soul’s previous Dragon King was killed by Guan Shanyue.”
Ye Chen’s expression froze when he heard that.
He had once heard something from Niu Qingshan about the Dragon Soul becoming Dragon King!
The Dragon King was a fierce person of his generation. The last time the ghost ship had appeared, the people of Shang Santian had wreaked havoc in the secular world.
It was the Dragon King who had personally killed his way to Kunlun and blocked the exit at Shang Santian. He would kill anyone who came out of Shang Santian.
“Go on!”
Ye Chen raised his brows.
“The previous Dragon King, Jiang Yuheng, suppressed China on his own back then. Even the previous Palace Master of the Heavenly Palace was no match for him. Jiang Yuheng was a heroic man who cared about the common people. He repeatedly went against Shang Santian. Later on, it was rumored that he stepped onto the ghost ship and never came out again.”
Guardian Bai paused for a moment and said, “This is just a rumor from the outside world. In fact, Jiang Yuheng had not even stepped onto the ghost ship when the previous Palace Master, Guan Shanyue, and the powerhouses of Shang Santian were all killed by the side of Wu River. That battle was extremely tragic. If I hadn’t heard Guan Shanyue admit it personally, I wouldn’t have believed it!”
His face was full of pity!
Fifty years before Ye Chen’s appearance, the Dragon King Jiang Yuheng could be said to be a legend in China. He was also the hero among the older generation who was revered by everyone.
Even Guardian Bai was no exception!
“I’m done. Mad Southern Ye, I hope you can live on. You can kill Guan Shanyue to avenge me and Jiang Yuheng. I hope you can resist the power of Shang Santian too!”
He then closed his eyes.
“Give him a quick death!”
Ye Chen turned around and walked into the Ghost Witch Cult’s main hall after instructing Yinshi. He spread his Divine Consciousness out. No traps, secret rooms, or treasure rooms could escape his Divine Consciousness.
However, to his disappointment, there were very little things that caught his eye in the huge Ghost Witch Cult. Most of them were things like money and gold.
The only thing that was worth some money was an ancient sword that had been refined with the blood of a living person. It was only a middle-grade magic tool. The sword was filled with blood qi/ There was also a portion of refining materials.
What was interesting was that he found an Evil Dao technique called the Spiritual Power Seizing Method. The cultivator would seize the spiritual power of others and absorb their vitality to strengthen themselves.
After Ye Chen took it away, he shook his head and was about to leave. All of a sudden, he looked at the throne where the cult master of the Ghost Witch Cult was sitting. There was a faint formation inside.
He walked over and casually broke the formation. He discovered that there was a secret compartment under the throne. There was a sandalwood box inside, and inside the box was a green object about the size of a walnut.
At that moment, Ye Chen’s sea of consciousness was filled with excitement!
His expression froze!
The Immortal Drift Bottle throbbed again!
It was the second time the Immortal Drift Bottle had throbbed since Ye Chen returned to earth.
The first time was when he saw something that looked like a black seed shaking in Tiannan’s Lin City on an antique street.
The black seed was the same size as the thing in front of him.
‘Could there be a connection between the two?’
Countless thoughts flashed through Ye Chen’s mind at that moment.
After he matured the black seed with the green liquid in the Immortal Drift Bottle, a flower with a strange fragrance bloomed first. Ye Chen broke through from beginner-stage to middle-stage Spirit Assembly after absorbing the fragrance.
Subsequently, the flower wilted and bore a black fruit. Ye Chen tried to mature it with the green liquid from the Immortal Drift Bottle, but it was useless. As time passed, he forgot about it.
The green seed before him reminded him once again.
Ye Chen studied the seed in his hand while frowning, “Why does the cult master have this? Does he know what it is?
Forget it, I’ll study it when I get back!”
Shaking his head, he stowed the green seed into his storage ring before leaving the main hall of the Ghost Witch Cult.
Yinshi immediately came forward and pointed at the hundreds of people kneeling in the distance, “Master, what about the remaining disciples of the Ghost Witch Cult?”
Ye Chen looked over. The hundreds of people immediately prostrated on the ground. There were even one or two 15 year old children among them who were filled with fear.
Ye Chen suddenly looked at Yinshi, “I plan to let you stay here and reorganize the remaining forces of the Ghost Witch Cult. You’ll then take over and become the cult master. What do you think?”
