Chapter 977: Chapter 976: Mysterious Maneuvers, Resonance
Elder Gui realized that he had once again underestimated Ye Chen’s boldness."He must not be killed."
"Brother Gui, you say you don’t kill; it’s simple. You just beat him until he’s on his last breath, and I’ll finish him off."
Elder Gui: "Even though I’ve surpassed the Great Emperor, I’m not a true deity. My defenses and ability to trap opponents can compare to a deity, but my attacks are at most on par with an ordinary Great Emperor."
Ye Chen understood.
In other words, the Heaven-Burying Nine Coffin Envoy trapped within the shell is at least at the Great Emperor’s battle power. Elder Gui can contain and defend but can’t kill.
"Even if I could kill, without confidence in facing retaliation, I wouldn’t dare to," Elder Gui added, "Ye Chen, I’ll release the person inside for you to meet."
Ye Chen: ???
"What if he tries to kill me?"
Elder Gui: "He won’t kill you. He’s been sent to recruit you. As for you learning Aurora Sword Dao, even if he knows, it doesn’t matter. The existence on the Heaven-Burying Nine Coffins’ side isn’t concerned with Aurora Sword Dao; they feared only Bai Jiguang as a person."
Ye Chen nodded. It’s good to make contact with the Nine Coffins now.
Anyway, he still needed to leverage the Nine Coffins’ power to open the Celestial Dao Cage to rescue someone.
"Brother Gui, before releasing the person inside to meet me, I have one more question."
Elder Gui: "Speak."
Ye Chen: "Brother Gui, you are familiar with Bai Jiguang, so you surely know Yang Tianji, right?"
Elder Gui’s expression turned complicated, "Back then, Bai Jiguang was famous across the Celestial Burial Sea, acclaimed as the one most likely to reach the Great Emperor Realm of that era, possibly even become a deity.
After he created the Aurora Sword Dao, he could rival the Great Emperor fractionally, yet he still lost twice.
Once was being hunted by the forces dispatched by the Heaven-Burying Nine Coffins and lost, dying in battle.
The other loss was to Yang Tianji.
However, Bai Jiguang and Yang Tianji weren’t adversaries but close friends.
Yang Tianji was low-key; few in the Celestial Burial Sea knew of him. How did you find out?"
Ye Chen: "I came across an old record. It noted that Yang Tianji went to reinforce during the Aurora Sword Emperor’s final battle, so I was curious and asked."
