Chapter 2273 Unexpected Show
Chapter 2273: Unexpected Show Chapter 2273: Unexpected Show Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The scene that emerged on the screen depicted a conversation between Elder Chen and a woman. Gui Ping was aware that there were many hidden cultivators lurking in the darkness, yet he did not attempt to stop them. If these cultivators bore witness to the deaths of Ye Chen and Mu Yan, he would surely establish his prestige. However, he did not anticipate that before he could assert his dominance, such a shocking scene would unfold. His aged face was left in utter disarray. The onlookers wore peculiar expressions. They had originally come to observe the spectacle, but they had stumbled upon a significant secret. Gui Ping’s heart was in turmoil. He seized Elder Chen, who stood behind him, with one hand, and the aura emanating from his body surged fiercely. “Sect Master, please do not kill me. I made a mistake!” Elder Chen’s legs quivered. He had never imagined that the matter would come to light. Everyone was now aware of this. Moments later, Elder Chen unleashed a technique, and violent demonic energy enveloped his entire being. He made a direct dash toward the west of the Demon Territory. Elder Chen’s power was beyond question, as he was only second to the sect master’s strength. While he could not defeat the sect master, he could certainly escape by burning his blood essence. However, Gui Ping, the Sect Master of the Heavenly Demon Sect, was filled with rage and would not let Elder Chen escape. In an instant, he transformed into a demonic lion and pursued Elder Chen. “Sect Master, what about Ye Chen…” another elder piped up. However, Gui Ping had already vanished from view. After the sect master departed, the elders remaining in the sky exchanged glances and resolved to attack. They still had a late-stage Sealed Gate realm expert on their side. Without the sect master, they could still engage Ye Chen. Mu Yan shifted her position slightly to create space for Ye Chen. “Ye Chen, sometimes, strength does not represent everything.” “Even though I am not as capable as my father, I surpass you in terms of intelligence.” “Now that the sect leader of the Fiend Heaven Sect has left, I shall entrust the rest to you.” “I will destroy the statue of Jun Mochen in the Heavenly Demon Sect.” Roar! With the arrival of the Asura of the Netherworld, Ye Chen immediately transformed into his most powerful form to conclude the battle swiftly. Drip! Drip! Drip! Drip! The rain fell heavily, and the wind howled like a demon. “Heavenly Demon Finger!” The demonic energy within a radius of ten thousand miles surged into his body, forming a vortex around him. The six arms that sprouted from behind Ye Chen were simultaneously pointed at his enemies. Black light concentrated at his fingertips, exuding a destructive aura. The Heavenly Demon Sect experts, who were preparing to launch an attack, halted in their tracks. They froze as they looked at Ye Chen with a mixture of fear and trepidation. The sky trembled continuously, and fissures appeared in the ground, spreading wildly. The onlookers turned pale with fear and hurriedly retreated. Boom! Boom! Boom! The six fingers struck in an instant, targeting the most powerful elder. Upon witnessing this scene, the elder swiftly seized a core disciple and used his body as a shield. He had already sensed the imminent threat of death. It was preferable for others to perish than for him to face death! The black light pierced the core disciple’s body, instantly tearing him apart. Puchi! The violent shockwaves sent the late-stage Sealed Gate realm elder flying through the air. Fortunately, he managed to preserve his life. “Everyone, return to the sect and activate the protective formation!” The elder recognized the gravity of the situation and shouted urgently. However, the very next instant, Jun Mochen’s statue shattered again. Everyone’s expressions shifted dramatically. Ye Chen produced ten artifacts radiating formidable auras and grinned. “Here is another grand gift for you!” “What?” The elder clutched his chest, his eyes trembling violently. He quickly exclaimed, “Activate the sect protection formation at once!” As soon as he finished his plea, the artifacts fell toward the sect. It was too late to activate the formation. The disciples who had been awaiting the fight were so frightened that they fled in panic. Although they were unaware of Ye Chen’s intentions, the aura he emitted was sufficient to instill dread within them. Boom! No matter how swiftly they ran, they could not outpace the Thousand Artifacts Explosion. Gui Ping, who was in pursuit of Elder Chen, detected something amiss. His aged face shifted slightly. “Not good! They used Elder Chen to lure me away from the sect!” He swiftly headed toward the direction of the Heavenly Demon Sect. Less than two hours after Ye Chen and Mu Yan departed, the experts from the Demon Venerable’s Palace made their appearance. The leader was Mo Ying. Upon receiving the news, he rushed over without delay. To his astonishment, the Fiend Heaven Sect had already been reduced to ruins. Even though Jun Mochen’s statue possessed a protective mechanism, it had still been shattered. Mo Ying gazed down at the sect master kneeling before him and spoke coldly, “Your sect has fallen into such a state. Why do you appear uninjured?!” Gui Ping’s complexion was ashen. He hurriedly explained, “Mo Ying, this is all the fault of those two little pests. They…” Before he could complete his statement, a demonic shadowy palm came crashing down. “This matter is best left for you to explain to Lord Demon Venerable!” Gui Ping spat a mouthful of blood and pleaded for mercy. “Lord Mo Ying, I am willing to serve you from now on. I will capture Ye Chen and atone for my sins!” “Those two should not have strayed far. Let us track them according to their auras,” Mo Ying instructed the experts of the Demon Venerable’s Palace accompanying him. “However, based on their actions over the past few days, it appears they intend to destroy all of the statues and enterprises related to Lord Demon Venerable within the demon race.” “If that is the case, I may have an idea of where they will go next.” “Demon Dragon City is the city that Lord Demon Venerable has frequented the most. If one desires to invoke Lord Demon Venerable’s wrath, then Demon Dragon City is undoubtedly the prime choice.” “Are these two individuals insane?” Ye Chen and Mu Yan arrived at Demon Dragon City and learned that the Demon Joy Sect was organizing an auction in three days. The two decided to wait for three days before making their move during the auction. Three days passed in the blink of an eye. To attend the auction, one had to pay ten thousand magic crystals. With Ye Chen’s wealth, he could easily amass a hundred thousand magic crystals by selling just one item. The two concealed their identities and auras, effortlessly gaining entry. Upon arriving at the auction house, they secured a private room, and shortly thereafter, a maid served them tea. There remained the time it took for an incense stick to burn before the auction commenced, and cultivators continued to enter the hall one by one. After some time, a woman clad in revealing garments appeared at the center of the auction hall. She was one of the elders of the Demon Joy Sect. This time, the auction house had specifically sent an elder to oversee the event, indicating its significance.
