Chapter 2773: Chapter 2747 Strange Event! (Part 1)
Ye Chen put away the Slaughter Sword, sat cross-legged on the ground, and focused his mind to suppress the Extreme Evil Energy that had begun to stir again after prolonged combat!
…
Three days later, inside the Imperial Palace of the Extreme Evil Country.
Ye Chen had completely recovered, not only physically but his aura had also grown stronger!
During these three days, he completely refined the extremely dense Extreme Evil Energy within him, causing his powers to surge!
Now, facing You Mieyun, he was confident that he could kill him within three moves!
At this moment, Ye Chen was standing in a chamber, gazing at a woman lying on a jade bed.
The woman was exceedingly beautiful, even surpassing Chu Ying and others, but her beautiful eyes were shut, and her fair skin intermittently flashed with black demonic energy!
Three days had passed, and even though Ye Chen fed her a large amount of fresh blood and pills daily, Long Jingyan still showed no sign of waking.
He had asked Elder Cang.
But Elder Cang’s answer was negative.
This kind of evil energy wasn’t really an illness, so how could it be cured?
Ye Chen didn’t want to owe anyone anything, so he just wanted to wake Long Jingyan!
At this time, a young girl dressed in dragon robes walked in and respectfully saluted, saying, “Young Master Ye.”
Ye Chen looked at the girl and smiled slightly, knowing that she was Seventh Princess You Xuan’er.
However, now she was the new Empress of the Extreme Evil Country.
After the Suppression of Evil Ceremony, You Xuan’er’s temperament had become much more stable, her character transformed completely, without any former arrogance and willfulness. Ye Chen knew that You Xuan’er wasn’t inherently bad and had a sharp mind, and under her leadership, the Extreme Evil Country would likely usher in a golden age.
Perhaps, before long, the Extreme Evil Country would truly enter the Divine Kingdom, becoming an extremely powerful force within it.
Yet, these were not Ye Chen’s main concerns.
Ye Chen looked at Long Jingyan’s face and said calmly, “Xuan’er, tell me what exactly is going on here.”
You Xuan’er looked at Long Jingyan on the jade bed with complicated eyes and slowly opened her mouth, “Sister Long is actually not truly part of the Sha Clan.”
“Sister Long’s mother is from the Sha Clan, but her father, much like you, was an outsider. However, unlike other outsiders, Sister Long’s father came here voluntarily.”
“The reason he came was to obtain the Slaughter Sword… But he failed. Sister Long’s father was gravely wounded during a Suppression of Evil Ceremony due to the infiltration of evil energy and died shortly after the ceremony.”
“But before he died, he seemed to leave Sister Long with a legacy, though only she knows the details. I suspect it has a significant connection with the fact that Young Master Ye drew the Slaughter Sword.”
“As for why Sister Long could seal your Extreme Evil Energy into herself, from my investigations over the past few days, it should be due to the Sealing Evil Body’s abilities!”
“Sealing Evil Body?” Ye Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at You Xuan’er.
You Xuan’er nodded slightly and said, “Only with the Sealing Evil Body can one seal another’s refined Extreme Evil Energy within their own bloodline… And this Sealing Evil Body is the inherited magical body of the Lin family from the First Divine Country!”
“Young Master Ye, there should be a way to solve the evil energy inside Sister Long from within this Lin family!”
Ye Chen’s eyes gleamed with joy, “The Lin family of the First Divine Country? I understand now.”
Ye Chen stared at Long Jingyan’s body, hesitated for a few seconds, and then said, “I’ll leave for a while, but we will stay in contact.”
Now that he knew how to enter and exit the Extreme Evil Country, he could come and go as he pleased.
You Xuan’er was slightly startled and looked at Ye Chen with a hint of reluctance in her beautiful eyes, “Young Master Ye, are you leaving?”
Ye Chen nodded slightly, “I already couldn’t afford to stay here for much longer.”
“But I will return.”
“This mass of evil energy won’t be a problem in the short term, but it’s not a long-term solution.”
As he finished speaking, a brilliant light flew out from Ye Chen’s chest, shooting towards You Xuan’er.
You Xuan’er caught it, the light receded, and what appeared in her hand was a token.
“In the future, if you come to the Divine Kingdom and need anything, you can find me at the Divine Extreme Sect.”
“Also, if anything happens to Long Jingyan, you can contact me through this token.”
Ye Chen’s voice echoed in the Imperial Palace as his figure completely vanished.
You Xuan’er caressed the token, looked at the empty chamber, and her beautiful eyes displayed a trace of loneliness, with Ye Chen’s warmth still lingering on the token.
…
The next day.
Ye Chen returned to the Divine Extreme Sect and to his surprise, the sect seemed a bit deserted.
It was vastly different from before.
Ye Chen even noticed that many disciples had a hint of worry in their eyes.
Ye Chen knew that something must have happened during his absence.
Otherwise, the disciples wouldn’t be enveloped in this invisible shadow.
“Master, has something happened in the Divine Extreme Sect?”
Yu Zhenzi pointed to the jade scroll in his hand and warned, “Ye Chen, it’s best not to leave the sect of late; the Divine Kingdom is quite unsettled right now.”
“Master, is it because of the Moon Ring Phenomenon and those ancient experts?”
Yu Zhenzi shook his head, “No… It’s even more severe than that.”
Upon Ye Chen’s inquiry, Yu Zhenzi finally revealed the cause of the matter.
“While you were away from the sect, strange occurrences took place in the Divine Kingdom. Now, disciples from various major sects have started to guard against this matter, and unless necessary, will not leave their sects alone.”
“What kind of strange occurrences could alarm so many people?”
“Numerous genius disciples from different forces have been gruesomely murdered, having their bloodline and cultivation stripped away without reason, and the true culprit still hasn’t been found. The means were exceedingly cruel, and among these disciples were those who had broken through to Chaos during the Divine Kingdom’s Moon Ring Phenomenon, including true disciples and Ancient Divine Body geniuses, so all major sects have started paying attention to this.”
Ye Chen suggested that it might’ve been the work of the demon race, but was told otherwise, because the signs on the corpses clearly indicated a human’s doing, using an ancient method to enhance oneself by stealing others’ bloodline cultivation.
This cultivation method Ye Chen recognized, but Evil Cultivators like these usually get slaughtered by countless forces if they get too conspicuous. Mostly, they had been wiped out, but he didn’t expect anyone would dare do something like this, truly bold beyond compare.
“If it’s not the devil race, then who could it be…”
Ye Chen murmured in a daze, feeling that things weren’t simple, and based on Yu Zhenzi’s description, his expression suddenly changed, thinking of someone—Lin Juelong!
Lin Juelong had vanished after joining the Hall of Souls, as if he had evaporated from the human world.
But in the Hall of Myriad Gods, Ye Chen always had a strange feeling!
In the darkness, Lin Juelong’s murderous and angry gaze was fixed intensely upon him!
