Chapter 2270 Proceed With Caution
Chapter 2270: Proceed With Caution? Chapter 2270: Proceed With Caution? Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The news of the City Lord’s death quickly spread across the entire Demon Territory. Ye Chen and Mu Yan arrived at a tavern in the bustling Heavenly Demon City. With the Heavenly Demon Sect overseeing the entire city, it was a place of relative prosperity. Most importantly, the Heavenly Demon Sect also had a statue of Jun Mochen. Jun Mochen’s actions aimed to eradicate the faith of the Demon Race’s people in the Demon Emperor, and replace the image in people’s hearts with his own. “Ye Chen, the Heavenly Demon Sect has a true expert overseeing it. I fear it will not be easy to deal with them.” “They are one of the ten strongest demon sects.” “In fact, many of Jun Mochen’s troops originate from this sect,” Mu Yan whispered, her voice laced with concern. Ye Chen nodded slightly. The Heavenly Demon Sect was not like the City Lord’s manor, which could be easily destroyed. If he wanted to eliminate the sect, he had to proceed with caution. As disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect, the word ‘Heavenly’ was prominently displayed on their robes. In a certain corner of the tavern, three sect disciples were drinking. Ye Chen stood up and approached the three sect disciples. The cultivation level of these three disciples was not high, to the point that he could eliminate them with a single palm strike. “Do not disturb us while we are drinking. Leave!” They quickly assessed Ye Chen’s strength, recognizing that he was only a Star Aperture realm expert, yet the three of them showed no fear. This city was the territory of their sect. Anyone who dared to attack them would soon wish they had not. Ye Chen smiled without saying a word. Then, he raised his arm and struck down with his palm. Boom! With a single palm strike, the three disciples fell dead on the spot. The loud impact startled the patrons of the tavern. Upon witnessing the deaths of the three sect disciples, everyone hurriedly exited. Mu Yan, who remained seated, was stunned. She had warned Ye Chen moments ago because she preferred to avoid open conflict. They intended to deal with the Heavenly Demon Sect in secret, yet who could have anticipated that Ye Chen would kill three disciples with a single blow? This was entirely contrary to the subtle approach she had envisioned. Numerous customers had witnessed Ye Chen’s attack. If this continued, how would they remain hidden in the city? “Come, let us proceed to Tong Bao Pavilion,” Ye Chen said as he approached Mu Yan. Treasure Pavilion was the property of Jun Mochen. Since he could not contend with Jun Mochen directly, he would take advantage of the time difference to dismantle Jun Mochen’s foundation. Upon reaching the entrance of the Treasure Pavilion, they found the martial artists around them bustling with activity. Ye Chen and Mu Yan entered, and a maid approached them, saying, “Hello, my lord. Is there anything you wish to purchase?” Ye Chen regarded her indifferently and replied with a smile, “You are not qualified to make decisions yet. Please summon your shopkeeper. I have an important matter to discuss with him.” The maid glanced at Ye Chen. What kind of important matter could a Star Aperture realm expert have? However, she did not dare to ask further questions and turned to locate the shopkeeper. In a short time, the shopkeeper arrived. He was a robust middle-aged man with a powerful aura. The history of the Demon Territory was more extensive than that of the four regions of the Lingwu Continent, and the cultivation levels of their experts were significantly higher. The primary reason for this was the underground demon vein. The speed of cultivation aided by demonic energy was indisputably faster than those supported by spiritual energy. The entire Treasure Pavilion was managed by this middle-aged man. “Dear customer, I wonder what kind of business you wish to discuss with me.” Seeing that it was merely a Star Aperture realm expert, he did not think much of it. He assumed that the matter was actually of little importance. “I desire all the treasures in the Treasure Pavilion!” A cultivator walking nearby halted abruptly upon hearing Ye Chen’s words and stared at him in disbelief. To take all the treasures of Tong Bao Pavilion was an act of incredible arrogance and wealth! The corner of the shopkeeper’s mouth twitched involuntarily. Then, he responded, “Sir, are you certain you are not joking?” He had been the shopkeeper for many years, but this was the first time he had encountered someone who wished to take all of the treasures from the Treasure Pavilion. “Of course, and I will not spend a single cent.” Ye Chen’s declaration caused the shopkeeper’s expression to darken. Was this a jest? He wished to take all the treasures without spending a penny. “Sir, I believe you have come to Treasure Pavilion seeking trouble.” The shopkeeper waved his hand, and the surrounding guards immediately approached, looking at Ye Chen with disdain. It had been many years since anyone dared to cause trouble at Treasure Pavilion. This establishment was founded by Jun Mochen! After Jun Mochen ascended to power, who would dare to create problems for the Treasure Pavilion? “How did you know?” As soon as Ye Chen finished speaking, he drew the Rotten Beast Sword and the Heavenly Divine Demon Spear. As he produced the weapons, he glanced at the surrounding guards and suddenly charged forward. Mu Yan followed him. Although she could not confront the shopkeeper, she was more than capable of handling some guards. “You are courting death!” When the shopkeeper witnessed this, he immediately charged toward Ye Chen. Since Ye Chen dared to cause trouble in Treasure Pavilion, he could not be allowed to leave this place alive. At the moment the shopkeeper rushed forward, Ye Chen’s entire form pivoted suddenly. An extreme sword beam surged forth in an instant. The sword aura flowed wildly at that moment. Ye Chen swung his sword, causing the shopkeeper to take two steps back. “Are you not a Star Aperture realm expert?” the shopkeeper asked coldly, astonished as he assessed Ye Chen. He had felt a significant threat from that sword strike. It was certainly not a power that a Star Aperture realm expert could unleash. Ye Chen smiled but remained silent. Instead, he charged toward the shopkeeper. The Rotten Beast Sword and the Heavenly Divine Demon Spear radiated terrifying killing intent, which gradually solidified. The spear and sword were like the scythe of the Grim Reaper, ready to claim the life of the shopkeeper of the Treasure Pavilion. Whoosh! With a single strike, the shopkeeper of the Treasure Pavilion was forced to retreat. A deep sword wound appeared on his body, blood flowing freely. Before he could retaliate, Ye Chen’s spear had already descended again. The spear essence permeated the pavilion like waves and locked onto the shopkeeper. Boom! The spear struck, creating a bloody hole in the shopkeeper’s chest, blood gushing forth. At this moment, the shopkeeper’s face turned ashen. He took out a voice transmission talisman and crushed it without hesitation. He lacked the authority to interact with Jun Mochen. However, he could contact the Heavenly Demon Sect! In one of the palaces within the Heavenly Demon Sect, the sect master seated at the top sensed the voice transmission talisman vibrating at his waist. “Not good, something has occurred at the Treasure Pavilion that the Demon Venerable established in this city! Elder Hui, assemble a team and reinforce them immediately!” Elder Hui stood up immediately. The Treasure Pavilion was one of Jun Mochen’s most vital enterprises, so no mistakes were allowed under their care. Whoosh! Whoosh! Three experts with overwhelming auras soared into the sky, heading toward the Treasure Pavilion. They were only moments away from reaching their destination.
