Chapter 684 - 683: None of Them Are Easy to Deal With
Being stared at by Sixth Master Qiao, Ye Chen felt uneasy.
This was an Emperor Realm powerhouse!
Silently, he could make three Alien Race Sacred Realms vanish into thin air.
"That... no, but I had contact with War General Shen Zhan’s spirit." Ye Chen confessed honestly.
It’s better to tell the truth now to avoid trouble later.
Sixth Master Qiao turned his head, glaring at Shi Fengchun, and said, "Can you speak one word of truth?!"
Shi Fengchun smiled and said, "Uncle Master, I just wanted to test Ye Chen. Look, such an honest child, pure-hearted, and with supreme talent!"
Ye Chen remained silent, as Brother Chun started spouting nonsense, going on and on.
Sixth Master Qiao, unable to contain his anger, shouted, "Shi Fengchun, shut up!"
Then, Sixth Master Qiao looked at Ye Chen: "Have you truly been in contact with War General Shen Zhan’s spirit?"
"Yes."
"Where is the war spirit?"
"It has completely dissipated with the Black Armor Army’s obsession."
"Did the war spirit leave any message?" Sixth Master Qiao asked.
Ye Chen looked at Shi Fengchun.
Sixth Master Qiao also stared at Shi Fengchun.
Shi Fengchun said, "Uncle Master, didn’t you tell me to shut up?"
Sixth Master Qiao’s temple twitched, and veins protruded.
"Ye Chen, tell the Sixth Elder, back when the Black Armor Army had its incident, he was just a little kid in diapers, so he couldn’t possibly be the mastermind. Moreover, the Sixth Elder’s father was a deputy general of the Black Armor Army."
If it weren’t due to the Black Armor Army matter, Sixth Master Qiao would truly want to dig a hole and bury Shi Fengchun right then.
Back when the Black Armor Army had its incident, he indeed was a little kid.
But the words from Shi Fengchun took on a different taste.
Back then, Shi Fengchun’s grandfather wasn’t even born!
"Ye Chen, matters concerning the Black Armor Army are of utmost importance. Even after three thousand years, I am still secretly investigating; in the True Martial Hall, many like me have not given up seeking the truth!" Sixth Master Qiao’s tone was heavy, his expression serious.
"Before War General Shen Zhan’s spirit dissipated, he said someone among the seven Grand Elders betrayed." Ye Chen stated truthfully.
Sixth Master Qiao furrowed his brow deeply upon hearing this.
Shi Fengchun said, "Uncle Master, currently there are ten Grand Elders in the True Martial Hall. However, after you, all joined after the Black Armor Army’s incident. There are five before you, find a way to gather them together, and I’ll have a meeting!"
"What do you intend to do?"
"As long as the problem lies with one of them, I can identify the person!" Shi Fengchun then recounted the events that happened in Cangzhou.
After hearing, Sixth Master Qiao furrowed his brow more deeply, then after a moment of silence, said, "This issue, you must not act rashly. Wait for the Grand Hall Master to return and then decide.
Shi Fengchun, I warn you, if you continue to act recklessly, I won’t need those alien bastards to kill you; I’ll dig a hole and bury you first!"
"A grave and tomb, I’ll be satisfied." Shi Fengchun said with a smile.
Sixth Master Qiao: "..."
Tired of dealing with Shi Fengchun, he looked at Ye Chen and asked: "Where is my junior-disciple He Taiyuan now?"
"My senior brother has a hard time, trapped in the celestial spaces of the three races—Celestial Eye, Iron Armor, and Green Ghost. It’s unspeakably miserable. Ye Chen and I have been thinking of rescuing him, but we haven’t fought our way to the celestial spaces, and some people have let the alien race into the Eastern Domain."
Shi Fengchun’s words were rather sarcastic.
Sixth Master Qiao understood Shi Fengchun’s implication. This time he did not curse but said, "If the overall situation cannot be stabilized, no amount of sacrifice has meaning. The retreat of the Eastern Domain human race is just temporary; they’ll retake it eventually.
You understand this reason, yet you chose not to follow it—it’s your choice, but don’t deem this step as meaningless."
Speaking, Sixth Master Qiao looked at Feng Wanli and Ye Chen, saying, "You are still young, and the road ahead is long. Let Shi Fengchun cause mischief; don’t follow him."
Shi Fengchun said, "Uncle Master, don’t say this now, I need your help for something, Ye Chen and I are going to the celestial spaces to rescue, we want to build the Celestial Gate. The historical research data of the Celestial Gate in the main hall can be provided to us."
"The data has been sealed away. You think asking yields? If you have the guts, go ask Luo Jianren yourself!" Sixth Master Qiao glared at Shi Fengchun with wide eyes.
"Luo Jianren that bastard is in charge of these things?" Shi Fengchun frowned.
That is indeed tough.
Luo Jianren’s descendants, Luo Zuo and Luo You, were both killed by Ye Chen.
Moreover, Luo Jianren is a bootlicker for the alien race!
"The archives are under his management; you’ll have to wait for the Grand Hall Master’s return," Sixth Master Qiao said.
Moments later.
Shi Fengchun, Ye Chen, and Feng Wanli stayed in the main hall under Sixth Master Qiao’s arrangement.
As for them opening up a killing spree in East Desolate City against the alien race, Sixth Master Qiao said Hall Master Lingxiao will handle it.
Two days later, a piece of news swept through East Desolate City.
The so-called Hundred Races Council had ended. The strongmen of the Alien Race Alliance learned of the events from two days ago, became furious, and stopped Lingxiao from leaving, demanding Lingxiao personally execute Shi Fengchun, Feng Wanli, and Ye Chen.
Lingxiao took a firm stance, using the alien race’s rampant behavior in East Desolate City as the reason, and strived hard, even getting into a major fight, until the incident concluded inconclusively.
There were rumors that Lingxiao, under pressure, promised the alien race certain concessions to calm their rage.
Inside the main hall of the True Martial Hall.
Ye Chen was cultivating when Shi Fengchun’s voice reached his ears, "Kid, time to collect debts!"
"The Grand Hall Master is back?" Ye Chen walked out of the room and asked.
"Hmm, he did well, suppressing the alien race’s fury." Shi Fengchun laughed.
Ye Chen was curious, "How did he suppress it?"
"I’m not sure about the specifics; he probably promised some conditions."
Ye Chen: "Doesn’t that mean a loss?"
"Not a loss!" Shi Fengchun laughed, "That battle demonstrated an attitude. Several Great Saints helped, and even someone from the Emperor Realm secretly assisted.
The attitude was set, and henceforth, many things will be better handled.
Moreover, don’t underestimate Grand Hall Master Lingxiao; the concessions made, the alien race needs to be careful not to choke on it!"
"Brother Chun, actually, there’s something I’ve always wanted to ask."
"Go ahead."
Ye Chen said, "What if that day no one had helped, what would you have done?"
Shi Fengchun smiled indifferently, saying, "Then I would have slaughtered East Desolate City!"
Ye Chen’s expression turned serious; he felt Brother Chun wasn’t joking.
If indeed no one had helped, East Desolate City would have completely lost hope. Under Brother Chun’s deathly emergence, a terrifyingly destructive force could be unleashed. After all, back then, East Desolate City didn’t have many powerhouses.
"Brother Chun, do you think Hall Master Lingxiao, such a big figure, might deny and play tricks?"
"No, the Grand Hall Master is a man of his word."
"But he previously boasted... promising rewards and never delivering!"
"The Grand Hall Master is busy with myriad affairs daily. Maybe he’d arranged the reward but never found the time to give it to you."
"Seems I misunderstood the Grand Hall Master. I shouldn’t measure others with a petty mind."
"Yes, when you see the Grand Hall Master later, don’t bring this up; it would appear narrow-minded. Even if the Grand Hall Master really forgot, it’s no big deal, be magnanimous, understood?"
Ye Chen and Shi Fengchun arrived in front of a grand hall, speaking openly and loudly as they walked.
Inside the hall.
Grand Hall Master Lingxiao wore a stern face.
Sixth Elder Sixth Master Qiao smiled wryly, saying, "Hall Master, both the old and the young are quite cunning..."
Knowing well that Lingxiao was awaiting them within the hall, they deliberately walked slowly outside, speaking loudly and openly, unmistakably putting on an act...
