Chapter 3495: Chapter 3495: Clues Left by Ren (First Update)
Elder Ye nodded upon hearing Ren Feifan’s words.
He never expected Ye Chen to arrive in the Outer Realm so quickly.
The situation outside the realm is much more complex than the Divine Kingdom and Lingwu Continent.
If the many powerful figures of the Divine Kingdom are mere pieces in this ancient chess game, then the characters outside the realm and in the Upper Realm are the top-tier players of this game.
If Ye Chen faces these big shots too early, it won’t be a good thing.
"Elder Ye, let’s go."
"Today, a Blood Night was employed, and the old guy in the Star Swirl Domain must have noticed."
"If we don’t meet with that old guy, things will get complicated."
Elder Ye’s expression turned serious as he seriously nodded in acknowledgment of Ren Feifan’s words. Subsequently, there was a fluctuation in the void behind them!
A black whirlpool gradually devoured the two.
Ren Feifan gazed thoughtfully at a rapidly approaching young man’s figure with a calm and Blood Night-infused look.
"The Slaughter Sword, the Sword Soul, the Samsara Graveyard, these are all good things."
"However, today’s event might lead Ye Chen deeper into the depths...."
He knew that today’s event had both advantages and disadvantages for Ye Chen.
At least some people in the Star Swirl Domain won’t dare to attack Ye Chen casually again!
But what about the Zhan family behind it?
He couldn’t save Ye Chen forever, and perhaps the next tribulation would have to be faced by Ye Chen alone.
Facing this overwhelming calamity, besides the Reincarnation Tablet of Huaxia, Ye Chen also needed a stroke of destiny.
Ren Feifan’s eyes, with the Blood Night rapidly circulating, seemed to have seen through something. The next moment, he revealed a smile and, with his fingers together, left a character underfoot.
The void whirlpool completely disappeared.
Everything returned to tranquility.
And it was at this moment that Ye Chen arrived, closing his eyes slightly to sense. He knew that Senior Ren had already left.
Senior Ren’s character was unpredictable, naturally not needing his gratitude.
But he would remember this kindness.
However, at this moment, Ye Chen suddenly sensed a hint of familiarity.
This feeling seemed to stem from his bloodline.
Moreover, it seemed to carry the aura of a grandfather who had long been buried in the earth.
From River City to here, various signs indicated that his grandfather might still be alive!
But if he’s alive, why hasn’t he appeared?
Also, why was Senior Ren unwilling to meet him?
Was he afraid of something?
Ye Chen shook his head helplessly, ceased his pondering, and proceeded towards Refining God Peak.
Things were not yet entirely concluded, and he had a vague feeling that greater secrets at Refining God Peak were beckoning him.
For the moment, he would accompany Jin Shuhui to check the dungeon.
Suddenly, Ye Chen halted!
He had discovered something!
An ancient character, emitting a blood-red glow, that read "Slaughter!"
Ye Chen knew this was left by Senior Ren!
But why would Senior Ren leave a single character?
What did it refer to?
Slaughter? Could it be the Slaughter Sword?
His trump cards, aside from the mysterious Samsara Graveyard, included another item.
That was the Slaughter Sword!
The Slaughter Sword’s origin was mysterious, and once only a small part of its seal was lifted, it showcased the might of an Emperor Artifact!
If fully unsealed, would it become a Supreme Origin Weapon?
Or even surpass that?
Ye Chen ceased his speculations and made his way toward Refining God Peak.
He believed that the answer would soon be revealed.
...
Within the dim dungeon, a damp and foul stench permeated the air, a somewhat plump woman, bound hand and foot by chains inscribed with crimson runes, sat cross-legged in a cell.
Her gentle face bore an expression full of fatigue and sorrow, while the pristine robe she wore was stained with much filth.
Just then, a clear female voice echoed in the darkness, "Master!"
The gentle woman suddenly opened her tightly shut eyes to see Jin Shuhui standing at the cell door with tears in her beautiful eyes.
The woman delightedly exclaimed, "Shuhui, are you alright? Did Song Ziqing finally have a change of heart and cancelled that matchmaking event?"
This gentle woman was named Lan Ying, Jin Shuhui’s master and the Fifth Elder of Refining God Peak.
At this moment, Lan Ying noticed a slightly apathetic male standing behind Jin Shuhui.
She couldn’t help but glance inquisitively, "And who might you be?"
Ye Chen bowed and said, "Senior, I am Ye Chen. For now, let me help get you out of here."
Regarding this Fifth Elder, Ye Chen held considerable respect.
Lan Ying shook her head and said, "This is the Heaven Prison of Refining God Peak; it’s not so easily breached. Only the Peak Master, who controls the rules of Refining God Peak, can break the seal here."
In Lan Ying’s view, although this young man gave her a special impression, as a martial artist of the Heavenly God Realm, he absolutely shouldn’t have the ability to break the Heaven Prison’s seal.
Ye Chen, hearing this, merely smiled slightly without explaining. In the next moment, he flipped his wrist, and a dark long sword landed in his hand, releasing a wave of blood-light from the Slaughter Sword, slashing fiercely toward the prison door!
Initially, as Ye Chen prepared to act, Lan Ying was indifferent and smiled subtly. A young person with a bit of pride wasn’t considered a bad thing.
However, suddenly, a hint of shock flashed across Lan Ying’s face as she intensely focused on the Slaughter Sword in Ye Chen’s hand!
From the Slaughter Sword, the aura of Destruction Divine Dao emanated, an astonishing sword light flickered and vanished, and all sorts of runes emerged on the prison door, seemingly trying to resist the sword light’s destruction, yet these powerful Mysterious Runes melted away like snow under a spring sun at the touch of the destructive sword light!
The prison door of Refining God Peak’s Heaven Prison shattered under Ye Chen’s stroke!
To shatter the Heaven Prison seal at the Heavenly God Realm is unimaginable beyond belief in the entire Star Swirl Domain!
But strangely, Lan Ying seemed indifferent about Ye Chen breaking the prison door at this moment, her gaze fixated on the Slaughter Sword in Ye Chen’s hand!
Both Ye Chen and Jin Shuhui noticed this and couldn’t help but reveal puzzled expressions, as Lan Ying appeared excessively interested in this Slaughter Sword?
A moment later, Lan Ying seemed to realize her lapse, shifted her eyes, and was finally shocked upon seeing the shattered prison door....
Who wouldn’t be jolted to see this Heaven Prison door shattered by a martial artist of the Heavenly God Realm....
The three left the dungeon and seated themselves in the Great Hall of Refining God Peak.
At this time, Jin Shuhui recounted the happenings at the matchmaking event to Lan Ying.
Lan Ying, still somewhat incredulous, looked at Ye Chen and asked, "Did you... truly kill Song Ziqing?"
Ye Chen nodded and said, "Indeed."
After a while, Lan Ying finally absorbed this reality and bitterly smiled, "It seems the matters of this world are really inexplicable; Song Ziqing in her wildest dreams wouldn’t have thought, she’d eventually die at the hands of the Slaughter Sword’s inheritor, right?"
Upon Lan Ying’s words, it was this time Ye Chen was the one astonished!
The Slaughter Sword?
How did Lan Ying know about the Slaughter Sword’s existence?
Suddenly, a flash of insight sparked in Ye Chen’s mind!
Could it be....
He hastily looked towards Lan Ying and spoke, "Senior, do you recognize this Slaughter Sword? Could you tell me in detail?"
