Chapter 665: Shang Santian’s Secret!
Seeing this scene, Niu Qingshan was slightly stunned. He could not stop looking at Ye Chen and Luo Yao, “You two… know each other?”
Ye Chen said while smiling, “Yes!”
“It’s amazing that you guys know each other!”
Niu Qingshan did not pursue the matter any further and retracted the smile on his face, ” Ye, I called you here today to discuss something with you.”
At this point, he subconsciously turned to look at Luo Yao, “Ms. Luo, should I do it or will you do it?”
“Let me do it!”
Luo Yao nodded slightly and said to Ye Chen while looking at him, “Ye Chen, Xiaofeng and I are actually from Shang Santian. We’ve been hiding this from you. I have to apologize about that.”
Ye Chen said, “It’s fine!”
In reality, he had already guessed their identities when he was in Japan. He nodded to himself now that they were willing to come clean.
“My real name is Luo Shuiyao. I’m from the Luo family of Shang Santian!”
She gritted her teeth and said, “Xiaofeng who is next to me is Tang Jianfeng. He’s from the Tang family of Shang Santian. We hid things from you before because we didn’t know your identity and we weren’t not close.
I suppose there’s no need for me to introduce you to Shang Santian!”
She glanced at Ye Chen with a profound look, “After all, you’ve killed quite a few people from Shang Santian. For instance, Bai Zhanyuan and Bai Hongyu from the Bai family. You should have some understanding of Shang Santian by now.”
Ye Chen nodded.
“Of course, I’m not asking for your forgiveness!”
Luo Shuiyao chuckled, “In fact, Shang Santian isn’t that different from this secular world. All kinds of ancient martial families and forces are deeply intertwined. There are also conflicts of interest and internal strife among each other.
Bai Zhanyuan and Bai Hongyu you killed were from the Bai family. Duan Hong was from the Duan family. The Luo family, the Tang family are against the Bai family and Duan family.
Moreover, I learned about what happened to Bai Zhanyuan. They deserved to die. I would kill them too if I were you!”
Luo Shuiyao and Tang Jianfeng had heard about Ye Chen’s past and background since they returned to China from Japan, including how Bai Zhanyuan wanted Su Yuhan and was eventually killed by Ye Chen.
She changed the topic and said, “Although the Luo and Tang families don’t care, it doesn’t mean that the Bai and Duan families won’t pursue the matter. You have to be mentally prepared.”
Ye Chen smiled lightly as if he was proud, “Don’t worry. Since I dared to kill them, I’m naturally not afraid of the Bai and Duan families.”
Luo Yao and Tang Jianfeng exchanged a look.
Tang Jianfeng took over and said, “Ye Chen, I admit that you’re quite powerful. Apart from Dragon Soul’s previous Dragon King, Jiang Yuheng, and Heavenly Palace’s previous Palace Master, you’re the most talented person in China in the past hundred years!”
He paused for a moment and looked at Ye Chen fixedly, “However, you must not look down on Shang Santian because of this. Bai Zhanyuan and his kind are only considered disciples of the younger generation in Shang Santian. Moreover, they’re not outstanding, not to mention the older generation.”
“That’s right!”
Luo Shuiyao nodded and her pretty face turned grim, “We’ve witnessed your strength in Japan. I know of a few other powerhouses who aren’t inferior to you. For example, Bai Shaoyu from the Bai family and Xiao Yuanjing from the Xiao family. They are the cream of the crop among the younger generation of Shang Santian. All of them have a cultivation base of martial venerables.”
Niu Qingshan’s pupils contracted when he heard that.
He, the Dragon Soul’s Dragon King, had just achieved being a martial venerable. Without a beast like Ye Chen, he would be the most powerful fighter in China.
However, some of the younger generation of Shang Santian were already martial venerables!
This was the difference between Shang Santian and the mortal world!
It was not an exaggeration to describe it as a natural chasm!
Luo Shuiyao and Tang Jianfeng had been paying attention to Ye Chen’s expression when they said that. They thought Ye Chen’s expression would change after hearing that.
However, Ye Chen did not react at all.
It was as if he had not heard anything.
The two of them secretly shook their heads. Luo Shuiyao no longer hesitated and said, “People of Shang Santian are about to enter the world. There are even quite a number of people who have already entered the world ahead of time. They’re just after the ghost ship in half a month.”
I know. The power of Shang Santian has caused a portion of people to think that they are high and mighty. Therefore, once they entered the world, they used their martial force to commit crimes.”
She pursed her red lips, her pretty face faintly showing some shame, “Here, I also have to express my apology to Elder Niu. Most of the people in Shang Santian agree with what Elder Niu did by bringing people to suppress those scums.”
Niu Qingshan sneered when he heard that.
No one was angrier than him!
The Dragon Soul was responsible for preventing cultivators from rioting or breaking the law. However, the people of Shang Santian treated them like nothing the moment they entered the world.
How could an apology resolve this?
Tang Jianfeng sighed softly and said, “The purpose of Shang Santian coming into this world this time is only for the ghost ship or to establish a sect and accept the fresh blood of the secular world. We don’t want to stand against the secular world.”
“Xiaofengfeng is right!”
Luo Shuiyao nodded and said, “Therefore, after some discussion, we decided to sit down with the cultivators of the secular world to discuss this. It can also be considered as seeking a balance.”
Ye Chen raised his brows, “How?”
Luo Shuiyao said, “The secular world will accept people from Shang Santian, and we will restrict our own people from causing trouble in the secular world. This is the reason why we invited you here.”
She glanced at Ye Chen, “You’re the China and East Asia No.1. Your position in the Chinese cultivation world is like that of a sovereign. You’re the leader of the Chinese cultivation world. Send some people to discuss with people from Shang Santian.”
“Old Niu, what do you think?” Ye Chen lifted his head to look at Niu Qingshan.
In reality, there was no difference to him whether they were at peace or not. However, it was very important to Niu Qingshan, because the duty of the Dragon Soul was to restrict cultivators.
However, it was very difficult for the Dragon Soul to defend Shang Santian on its own!
There was no doubt about that!
Clearly, Niu Qingshan had already thought it through. He said in a deep voice, “I have no objections. However, you guys from Shang Santian must be sincere. I don’t wish to see this so-called negotiation be an unfair formality. Otherwise, it doesn’t matter even if we don’t talk about it. There are more than 800 people in my Dragon Soul who aren’t afraid of bloodshed, let alone death!”
At this point, a sharp killing intent exploded from his eyes. Even Tang Jianfeng’s expression changed slightly when he sensed the killing intent.
Luo Shuiyao nodded and said, “Alright, we’ll negotiate in three days. I’ll inform you guys about the exact location and time!”
She stood up and left with Tang Jianfeng after saying that. Before she left, she looked at Ye Chen, “Ye Chen, I hope that we won’t be enemies!”
Niu Qingshan only spoke after the duo left.
“I can tell that the Luo and Tang families are decent!
Moreover, I can feel that the status of these two people in Shang Santian isn’t low either. Ye, you’re lucky to be able to get to know them.”
Ye Chen smiled noncommittally.
Lucky?
He never believed in such things!
Moreover, when did he, Ye Chen, need to climb the social ladder?!
Niu Qingshan seemed to have guessed what he was thinking. He shook his head and continued, “You’ve killed members of the Bai and Duan families. These two families will definitely not let you off. You have to be careful. Also, that junior brother of mine will be participating in the negotiation in three days.”
Guan Shanyue?
Ye Chen’s calm expression finally changed a little. Killing intent flashed in his eyes, “Since that’s the case, I must go. We’ll settle our old and new grievances at once!”
