Chapter 505: Returning
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
” Captain Ye, you… ”
The remaining sergeants of the patrol were astonished. They paused, staring at Ye Chuan.
Experienced sergeants knew that Ye Chuan was dangerous and immediately grabbed their lances in an attempt to defend themselves.
“What are you looking at? Don’t you know that the master of the Moon Worship Sect has killed people?”
Ye Chuan smiled mockingly and had a murderous look in his eyes. His body suddenly disappeared into black gas. From that black gas emerged 18 phantoms that flew towards the sergeants in the room.
The 18 phantoms possessed the bodies of the sergeants.
Ye Chuan still stood firmly on the back of a savage beast with a spear in his hand, as if he had not moved at all.
“Bang Bang!”
The sergeants of the patrol and the 18 beasts burst into a cloud of bloody fog, leaving nothing but several broken bones which fell from midair.
The pungent smell of blood lingered in the air.
“Too weak.”
Ye Chuan stood on the head of the purple tiger-like dragon. He fixed his gaze on Zhang Ruochen leaving and chased after him.
“Someone is chasing us. Maybe it’s the patrol who realized something was wrong and wanted to kill us,” Blackie said coldly.
Blackie emitted a black light and began gathering power to fight.
Zhang Ruochen calmly said, “No, he belongs to the Moon Worship Demonic Sect. You should stop now. The senior sister apprentice, Duanmu, told him something.”
With his spiritual power, Zhang Ruochen could see objects a hundred miles away even without opening his sky eye.
He used his spiritual power to observe the patrol, which was how he knew exactly what had happened.
Ye Chuan chased after Zhang Ruochen and was surprised when Zhang stopped. He asked, “Why didn’t you escape when you saw me coming?”
Zhang Ruochen laughed and said, “You killed Fang Li and the 18 sergeants. Obviously, we are friends and not enemies. Why would I escape?”
“Really?”
Ye Chuan was keen on uncovering Zhang Ruochen’s strength, so he secretly mobilized his true chi and ran in through his meridians. He unexpectedly flew from the savage beast’s back.
He used sophisticated bodily movements and exhibited advanced martial techniques. He walked into the open space and stood on the smooth ground. He swiftly stabbed Zhang Ruochen with his spear, moving like lightning.
Ye Chuan barely had to use any strength to fight with a warrior of the Heaven Realm.
That being said, that little bit of Ye Chuan’s power is so strong that it is almost the same as a Tree Progenitor’s strongest attack.
Zhang Ruochen knew he was facing a superior and had to be careful. He gripped the handle of his weapon with certainty, raised his arms and swung it.
The first move made by the Sword of Time was swift and neat.
Though it seemed like just one move, the Sword of Time actually produces a series of moves simultaneously.
Zhang Ruochen just learned the “swift”, a move among thousands of moves he has yet to learn.
Zhang Ruochen preferred to make the first move with the Sword of Time using sword techniques called Swift Swordsmanship.
One move, one moment; one move, one change.
“Swoosh!”
Zhang Ruochen quickly drew his sword and carved the top of Ye Chuan’s head.
Ye Chuan’s cap was sliced off by the sword, revealing long black hair that fell over his cheek.
Ye Chuan was shocked and quickly retreated onto the savage beast’s back. He stared at Zhang Ruochen who stood across him and said, “You moved your sword so fast. I would have been unable to avoid it if you had gone for my neck instead.”
Zhang Ruochen put away his sword and said,” If you had used all your strength, I might not have been able to cut off your cap.”
“You don’t have to be modest. I would not have been able to escape your sword even if I used all my strength. You were too fast,” Ye Chuan said.
Ye Chuan didn’t know that Zhang Ruochen’s sword technique contained the Power of Time. He was terrified at how fast Zhang Ruochen was able to draw his sword. He was still sweating all over.
At that moment, he felt like he almost died.
The Power of Time was harder to detect than the Power of Space because it left no trace.
Only the Half-Saint who was knowledgeable on the laws of the universe could feel the very faint changes of time.
Of course, Zhang Ruochen’s Sword of Time still had its limitations. For one, it could only kill someone within a close range.
Its sword techniques were also disconnected and movements were made independently of one another.
If an enemy was not killed during the first strike their sword would not be able to move momentarily.
If Ye Chuan fought with Zhang Ruochen again, he might keep a distance of more than ten meters between them. In that case, even if Zhang Ruochen would be able to quickly draw his sword, he would not be able to hurt Ye Chuan.
Although Zhang Ruochen was able to secretly move swiftly, his technique would eventually be exposed. If he were to use it now, it would only be to test the power of this move for future use.
The Sword of Time was still full of power. If it were used, even a master like Ye Chuan could be killed.
Ye Chuan stared at Zhang Ruochen intensely and said, “Are you really a warrior of the Heaven Realm?”
Zhang Ruochen said with a smile, “Of course.”
Ye Chuan may suspect something over time. After all, he was the most intelligent person in the Moon Worship Demonic Sect. He had also reached the Heaven Realm and entered the Heaven Board.
Ye Chuan had reached the fourth change in the Fish-Dragon Realm but he almost died by the sword of a warrior of the Heaven Realm. Even if he told other people, no one would believe him.
Ye Chuan put away his spear and said, “No wonder you were chosen by the Saintness. You are unrivaled and I admire you.”
Zhang Ruochen didn’t know if Ye Chuan knew Duanmu Xingling’s status. He then asked curiously, “Who is the Saintness?”
Ye Chuan laughed and said, “If the Saintness hasn’t revealed her identity to you, maybe it is not time. However, she ordered me to help you in the Primitive World of Wood Spirit, so I’ll try my best to help you.”
Ye Chuan paused and contemplated for a few moments. He then turned serious and said, “Through my investigation, I have discovered that there is a great secret hidden in the depths of Blackwood Field. Since you’ve been there, can you tell me anything about it?”
Ye Chuan was obviously exploring the Blackwood Field secret to report it to the Moon Worship Demonic Heresy.
Maybe that’s why he hid in the Primitive World of Wood Spirit.
The secret of Blackwood Field was of great importance.
After careful consideration, Zhang Ruochen decided to tell Ye Chuan something.
If Zhang Ruochen were to leave the Primitive World of Wood Spirit, the Qi of Origin would disappear and the whole world would begin to collapse.
An event of this scale would definitely disturb high levels of the Ministry of War, who would begin a thorough investigation. With their connections, Zhang Ruochen, who would have snuck into the Primitive World of Wood Spirit, would definitely be found.
The best course of action would be to let the Moon Worship Demonic Heresy stop the Ministry of War.
Zhang Ruochen explained, “There is an altar in the depths of the Blackwood Field, which was engraved with inscriptions. I assume it was made by the Psychic Sage.”
Zhang Ruochen’s findings intrigued Ye Chuan. He turned serious and said, “I’ve also been to the depths of Blackwood Field and observed the altar from a distance. It seemed highly unusual, so ordinary people could not have built it.”
Zhang Ruochen said, “I entered the altar and found something even more shocking.”
“What is it?” Ye Chuan asked.
Zhang Ruochen said, “The Qi of Origin in the Primitive World of Wood Spirit has been suppressed under the altar.”
“What?” Ye Chuan was shocked.
His facial expression kept changing, unable to contain his thoughts and emotions until he realized the seriousness of this situation. Such an important finding had to be reported to the High-level of the Moon Worship Demonic Heresy.
Ye Chuan stared at Zhang Ruochen and said, “Why did the Ministry of War do this? What was the purpose?”
Zhang Ruochen laughed and said, “If you don’t know, how would I know? Besides, the Qi of Origin is very strong. I would not be able to get close to it.”
Ye Chuan nodded.
Ye Chuan wasn’t aware of the fact that the Qi of Origin in the Primitive World of Wood Spirit had been taken by Zhang Ruochen. After all, the Qi of Origin was quite powerful. Even though it was only the origin of Qi in the Inferior Primitive World, it could only be controlled by a Half-Saint.
Regardless of how great Zhang Ruochen’s swordsmanship was, he was only a warrior of the Heaven Realm. Before the Qi of Origin, he was nobody.
Zhang Ruochen said in a serious tone, “I want to go back to the Chaotic Millionverse Moutain immediately. I wonder if Captain Yek knows.”
Ye Chuan put his thoughts away and said, “The Saintness has already ordered and arranged it. I’ll take you to a Primitive World boat.”
Zhang Ruochen thought, “She deserves to be the Saintness in the heresy because she has energy beyond the expectations of ordinary people.”
Amongst the Inferior Primitive World, the Primitive World of Wood Spirit was at the highest level. Even if the Ministry of War brought a command into effect, many noble young men would come forward for the experience.
Under Ye Chuan’s leadership, Zhang Ruochen and Blackie got on a ship to return to the Chaotic Millionverse Mountain. There were also other noblemen on the ship.
While standing on the ship, Zhang Ruochen looked down and asked, “Captain Ye, why don’t you return to the Chaotic Millionverse Mountain with us?”
Ye Chuan said with a smile, “I have to deal with some things first. When I’m done, I’ll go back.”
Zhang Ruochen nodded, understanding what Ye Chuan was saying.
Fang Li and the 18 sergeants died tragically, so he had to write an explanation. Ye Chuan wouldn’t leave the Primitive World of Wood Spirit until he had handled it.
Ye Chuan watched the ship fly away from the ground. His eyes turned cold and he said, “What is the Ministry of War planning? I did not expect the Qi of Origin in the Primitive World of Wood Spirit to be suppressed under the altar. I have to report it to the Half-saint Tongxu immediately.”
When it comes to the Qi of Origin in a Primitive World, Ye Chuan had to be very careful. He had to report it to the Half-saints of heresy and have them solve it.
