Chapter 2370 2344 Life and Death (Three Updates)
Chapter 2370: Chapter 2344: Life and Death (Three Updates) Chapter 2370: Chapter 2344: Life and Death (Three Updates) Pan Rongchun nodded and said, “Of course, it is possible.”
However, Ye Chen’s expression still carried some solemnity, even though he was heading straight for the Mystic Moon Sect, the speed of the airship was still somewhat slow…
“Brother Pan, do you know of any way to maximize the speed of the airship?”
Pan Rongchun’s face showed hesitation as he responded, “Well…”
It was clear there was some difficulty he could not easily disclose.
Ye Chen’s eyes brightened; Pan Rongchun’s hesitation meant there was definitely a way!
He immediately looked earnestly at Pan Rongchun and said, “Brother Pan, this matter is of utmost importance to me. Do not hold back for my sake, I will take full responsibility. Please, go ahead!”
Pan Rongchun stayed silent for a moment before he finally spoke, “There is a way, if we disregard the wear and tear of the airship and provide a large amount of spirit stones for energy—Divine Cloud Stones would be better—we can push the airship’s speed to its limit. However, by doing so, this airship would essentially be wrecked, capable of completing only one more journey…”
This airship was the royal family’s property, and if it were not Ye Chen standing before him, he would never have revealed this.
Ye Chen smiled. Although he had spent nearly all his Divine Cloud Stones at the Tianchen Auction, when those wealthy heirs came to their demise afterward, Ye Chen did not miss the chance to collect their storage bags amid the battle.
These wealthy heirs had prepared a large number of top-grade Divine Cloud Stones for the Tianchen Auction! Even though their individual wealth could not match Ye Chen’s, their combined resources were incredibly formidable!
So, what he currently had in abundance was Divine Cloud Stones!
Immediately, Ye Chen casually tossed a storage bag to Pan Rongchun with a light smile,
“Brother Pan, please check whether these Divine Cloud Stones are sufficient. If there are extras, they are yours. I think these stones should be enough to purchase an airship. Let’s consider this purchase as a sale to me. The royal family shouldn’t mind, and actually, I think the Empire’s emperor might even greatly reward you.”
Upon hearing this, Pan Rongchun curiously probed into the storage bag with his divine soul, and the next moment, he was utterly flabbergasted…
He was originally a bit gaunt, but at that moment, he looked even more like a wooden dummy…
He was literally stunned by the Divine Cloud Stones!
Originally, he thought Ye Chen spending hundreds of thousands of top-grade Divine Cloud Stones was already the pinnacle of extravagance!
But now, he realized just how mistaken he was, and it was a wildly outrageous mistake!
Inside this storage bag, there were tens of millions of top-grade Divine Cloud Stones!
That number was simply maddening!
Forget one space airship; it was more than enough to buy ten, twenty, or even thirty of them!
And Ye Chen? He threw the storage bag to him as if it were some trivial item, utterly nonchalantly…
It was as if this vast amount of money, enough to stir an entire empire, meant nothing to Ye Chen!
Pan Rongchun felt his mind was on the verge of collapse…
Now he understood why Ye Chen could dominate the Tianchen Auction and, after the auction, withstand the assassination attempts from a multitude of geniuses and wealthy families…
For someone like Ye Chen, who did not regard money as important, trying to overcome him with money was simply a dream! In the end, the only one left swollen-faced would be oneself!
Thus, these people had to resort to violence…
But, unfortunately for them, Ye Chen still thoroughly crushed them even in terms of violence…
And after the utmost shock, Pan Rongchun was ecstatic!
His heart was about to leap out with ecstasy!
Not to mention whether he had to hand over all the money to the Empire as compensation for the damaged airship, keeping just a little bit of it would still be a fortune he could never earn in his lifetime…
Even if he handed it all over, the royal family would surely reward him greatly! His status within the Empire was bound to rise dramatically! His rank would soar!
It was just like a dream!
Meeting Ye Chen was like encountering a Divine King, who miraculously smashed destiny right onto his head!
It could be said that Ye Chen had casually, thoroughly changed his fate!
“Young Master Ye?” Watching Pan Rongchun stare blankly, Ye Chen couldn’t help but remind him, as his time was very precious.
Hearing Ye Chen’s voice, Pan Rongchun snapped back to reality. His entire demeanor, as if injected with a shot of adrenaline, became highly proactive and exceedingly respectful as he said to Ye Chen,
“Young Master Ye! It’s more than enough! From now on, I will obey your every command! Even if the emperor were here, I would only follow your orders! Just wait, I’ll enhance this airship’s performance to its limit! I guarantee that by the time we reach Mystic Moon Sect, it will be nothing but scrap metal!”
Ye Chen was somewhat taken aback by Pan Rongchun’s reaction, realizing he might have underestimated the power of money…
However, seeing Pan Rongchun about to rush to the airship’s cockpit, Ye Chen quickly grabbed him and asked, “If we maximize the speed, how long will it take us to reach the Mystic Moon Sect?”
Pan Rongchun pondered for a moment and replied, “Half a day… no… just five hours, and we’ll arrive!”
Ye Chen’s spirits lifted upon hearing this!
Five hours! By his estimation, they should barely make it in time!
At that moment, a space airship parked on the plaza suddenly erupted in a blinding red light. The next moment, the airship’s thrusters spewed out multicolored flames filled with immense energy. The airship’s hull, made of ultra-high-strength alloy, emitted cracking noises as if unable to bear the strain…
The next moment, a thunderous roar shook the ground, and the airship instantly transformed into a nearly untraceable crimson streak of light, rushing into the Space Gate and vanishing into the temporal tunnel…
Mystic Moon Sect.
At this time, the Mystic Moon Sect no longer displayed its former bustling and peaceful atmosphere, instead, it revealed an aura of solemnity and lethality.
In the plaza before the Mountain Gate of the Mystic Moon Sect stood numerous disciples, each of them standing quietly and solemnly.
Although there were many disciples standing before the Mountain Gate, compared to a few days ago, it was vastly different.
Cang Ye looked at the disciples before him, a glint of relief flashing in his eyes.
Even though the disciples present were not even a tenth of the usual numbers of the Mystic Moon Sect, frankly, he had not expected so many to stay!
Upon receiving the news that dozens of top-tier forces had allied with the two major families of the Lingwu Continent to attack the Mystic Moon Sect, Cang Ye announced this news in front of all the disciples.
Moreover, he declared that the fate of the Mystic Moon Sect was tied with Ye Chen’s, but he would not force anyone to stay; those who wished to leave could do so now.
After all, facing such a formidable alliance army, the Mystic Moon Sect was no different than ants, and there was no need to send everyone to their deaths.
After a tumult of discussions, immediately, more than half left.
One day later, another half of the remaining people left.
By the third day, only about one-tenth of the disciples remained.
But even if it was only one-tenth, Cang Ye felt immensely relieved.
These disciples were willing to share life and death with the Mystic Moon Sect! Their talents might not be the best within the sect, but their loyalty to the sect far surpassed the others!
