Chapter 1863 Acquaintances
Chapter 1863: Acquaintances? Chapter 1863: Acquaintances? Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Feeling the heavy shadow pressing down on him, Ye Chen did not hesitate. The Blood Demon Sword burst with golden light as he slashed the shadow! An earth-shattering boom rang out! The seemingly faint shadow lasted for a few seconds under Ye Chen’s sword light before it finally could not bear the burden. Cracks appeared on it and it shattered completely! As for Yin Ming, she fell to the ground powerlessly. However, a necklace on her chest flashed and a dim light merged into the space between her eyebrows, preventing her from completely losing consciousness. Ye Chen put away the Blood Demon Sword and reached out to help Yin Ming up. Yin Ming looked at Ye Chen with a complicated expression. Although she did not want to admit it, she knew that Ye Chen’s strength far surpassed hers. She was the one who lost. “Are you alright?” Ye Chen asked suddenly when he saw Yin Ming’s dazed expression. Yin Ming shook off Ye Chen’s hand and said coldly, “You won. I’ll take off my mask as promised.” “However, don’t think that I’ll follow you just because of this. Even if fate really exists, I won’t yield even if I die!” Ye Chen smiled helplessly. He could not be bothered to say anything else and turned to leave. He said calmly, “You’re overthinking things. Actually, I don’t care what you look like. I asked you to take off your mask just to get rid of you.” When Yin Ming heard this, the hand that was reaching for her mask froze in midair. She stared blankly at Ye Chen who was slowly walking down the mountain peak. Suddenly, a strange emotion rose in her heart. He did not want to look at her! He actually dared to say that! Yin Ming gritted her teeth and glared at Ye Chen’s back. This was the first time she had wanted to take off her mask in front of the opposite sex, yet she had been rejected just like that! She suddenly had an urge to chase after Ye Chen, take off her mask, and force him to look at her. However, just as she lifted her foot, Yin Ming’s gaze trembled. Was this not the same as forcing Ye Chen to look at her face and telling him that she wanted to follow him? Damn it! Yin Ming’s pretty face under the mask blushed. She cursed herself for having such a shameful thought. She shouted at Ye Chen, “Don’t be so smug! Sooner or later, I will defeat you!” “Oh, I’ll be waiting for you,” Ye Chen waved lazily with his back to her. Seeing Ye Chen’s attitude, Yin Ming stomped her foot and descended the mountain peak from another direction. Cang Ye shook his head helplessly and walked in the direction where Yin Ming had left. Although there was usually no danger in Lingxuan City, he was still worried that this willful girl would cause trouble in her bad mood after losing to Ye Chen. Early the next morning, Cang Ye brought Ye Chen and Yin Ming to a sea region shrouded in thick fog outside Lingxuan City, flying deep into the sea region. After a long time, Cang Ye suddenly stopped. Ye Chen scanned his surroundings. All he could see was a thick white fog. He could not find anything and could not help but frown. He did not understand why Cang Ye had suddenly stopped. Cang Ye’s expression was slightly solemn. He suddenly raised his hand, and a scarlet longsword that emitted terrifying fluctuations appeared in front of him. Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed. The longsword was a divine artifact, and its grade was even close to a true god artifact! The artifacts in the Lingwu Continent were divided into grades similar to cultivation levels, and a divine artifact corresponded to the Star Aperture realm. Incidentally, a true god artifact corresponded to the Sealed Gate realm. What exactly was there here that made Cang Ye take out a divine artifact? In the next moment, Cang Ye raised his hand and pointed at the scarlet longsword in a certain direction. The longsword let out a clear cry and soared into the sky, turning into a scarlet streak that sliced toward the thick fog in front of them. With a light crack, this powerful strike that could destroy space shattered the invisible barrier. A seven-colored vortex suddenly appeared in the originally empty sea of fog. The spiritual energy around Cang Ye moved and brought Ye Chen and Yin Ming into the seven-colored vortex. Ye Chen felt a wave of dizziness assault his head, and he only regained consciousness after a while. He raised his head and scanned his surroundings. His eyes narrowed. Where was the fog in front of him? They had even left the sea region and arrived on the ground. Ye Chen surveyed his surroundings. At this moment, they were standing on a beach. The sand beneath their feet was like golden sand that had been ground into gold. It was shining and emitting a considerable amount of spiritual energy. As if sensing their arrival, a white-robed middle-aged man quickly descended from the sky. He laughed as he walked toward them. “Hahaha, Brother Cang, you’re finally here.” Ye Chen looked over and saw that the man was wearing a moon-white Daoist robe with a flame-shaped pattern embroidered on the collar. At the same time, this person exuded a deep aura that was not inferior to Cang Ye’s. Ye Chen’s heart skipped a beat. Could this person be from the legendary Divine Fire Academy? “Brother Huang, it’s been a long time.” Cang Ye smiled. “This is Senior Huang Rushan from the Divine Fire Academy,” he said to Ye Chen and Yin Ming. “Greetings, Senior Huang.” Ye Chen and Yin Ming bowed. Huang Rushan nodded with a smile. When his gaze swept past Ye Chen, it flashed slightly. He said to Cang Ye, “Brother Cang, the Mystic Moon Sect’s disciples participating in the competition are not bad.” He hoped that one of them could successfully pass the Rising Dragon Competition. “Alright, follow me to the venue.” Led by Huang Rushan, Ye Chen and the other two quickly arrived at a valley. At this moment, the valley was already bustling with people. The cultivators of the various sects were leading their genius disciples to interact with each other and measure the strength of the other disciples. The disciples of a sect participating in the Rising Dragon Competition often foretold the future development of a sect. Huang Rushan led Cang Ye and the others through the crowd and into the depths of the valley. First-rate forces and super-first-rate forces, as well as some hidden experts with extraordinary status who did not belong to any force, were gathered there. There were even a few top forces in the Lingwu Continent. However, those from the top forces had special identities, so they naturally kept their distance from others. As they walked deeper into the valley, the noise gradually faded away. After they passed through a narrow passageway, their field of vision suddenly opened up. Ye Chen’s eyes flashed. In the depths of the valley, there was a beautiful place like a paradise! Huang Rushan smiled and said, “This place is called the Immortal Guiding Forest. The scenery here is not bad. You guys can rest here first. I still have something to do. I’ll be leaving first.” “Thank you for your guidance, Brother Huang.” Cang Ye cupped his hands. Huang Rushan waved his hand with a smile and walked out of the valley. At this moment, there were already several people in the Immortal Guiding Forest. Ye Chen’s gaze swept across and was slightly stunned. He realized that there were many people he knew here!
