Chapter 866: Chapter 865: Secrets, the Invisible Web
Half a day later, Ye Chen returned to the Green Leaf Grotto Heaven of the Cangzhou True Martial Hall.
The others only knew that some time ago, Hall Master Shi had taken a group to handle a big matter, but as to where they went or what they were doing, no one knew.
The battles, casualties, and victories beyond the heavens were still separate from Cangzhou for the time being.
Ye Chen did not linger at the True Martial Hall and left directly, using the cloud shuttle flying boat crafted by the Celestial Soldier Pavilion to escape into the void.
A few days later.
Ye Chen entered the realm of the Yang Province.
The Yang Province was where the Silver Wing Race was most concentrated.
All along.
The junction between Cangzhou and Yang Province had always been heavily monitored by members of the Silver Wing Race.
The Alien Race Alliance, apart from the Celestial Eye Three Races who were already near Cangzhou beyond the heavens, all others couldn’t enter Cangzhou. However, the Alien Race Alliance paid significant attention to Cangzhou, and its border had been tightly watched.
In Cangzhou, the Alien Race Alliance most wanted to kill Ye Chen, Feng Wanli, Feng Kuang, and Shi Fengchun!
Back at East Desolate City, the four of them not only disgraced the Alien Race Alliance at the Grand Assembly of Hundred Races but cost them a total of forty-nine thousand miles of territory.
Although Ye Chen knew all this, he still came alone.
Crossing the border of Cangzhou and Yang Province, yet no danger appeared.
Because, some time ago, the True Martial Hall Main Hall had secretly arranged a force to sweep the enemies clean on the border of Cangzhou.
As Ye Chen entered the Yang Province, he casually found a hidden place to wait for Shi Fengchun to appear.
He was absolutely sure that Shi Fengchun would certainly appear in the Yang Province.
The next day.
At noon.
Ye Chen flashed and flew toward a direction.
He crossed about a thousand miles.
Ye Chen arrived above the ruins left by a recent great battle.
The battle had clearly occurred not long ago, with a bit of chaotic energy still lingering between heaven and earth.
In the ruins, plenty of corpses belonging to the Silver Wing Race could still be seen.
Ye Chen glanced around, his expression calm, and said, "Brother Chun, I know you’re here, come out and meet me."
No response came.
Ye Chen continued, "You want to go to the Silver Wing Race’s Beyond the Heavens, but the spatial brand of the Silver Wing Race’s Beyond the Heavens in your hand has been restricted by me.
Although my restriction is not strong, it’s precise, and maybe you, Brother Chun, can break it, but it will cost you a lot of time.
Come out, let’s meet, and I’ll remove the restriction for sure.
I’m not here to stop you; I just want to see you off."
As Ye Chen finished speaking.
The space showed slight vibrations.
In one area, the space silently shattered.
Shi Fengchun emerged, stepping out from the void.
Ye Chen looked over.
Even now, Brother Chun still had that smile that made people want to punch him.
"Brat, your mind is not just full of tricks."
Said Shi Fengchun, raising his hand with a flick, letting a jade slip float in front of Ye Chen.
"Looks like you knew early on I wanted to go to the Silver Wing Race’s Beyond the Heavens, and you planted a restriction in this spatial brand in advance. I had Lin Yan help to take the spatial brand from your storage ring, and you noticed but said nothing."
Ye Chen took the floating spatial brand in his hand, saying, "All things I’ve learned from you, Brother Chun."
"I’ve lived my life, Shi Fengchun, openly and honestly! Don’t say you learned from me, or you’ll ruin my reputation."
Ye Chen: "Brother Chun, whether you admit or not, you don’t really have a good reputation. Believe it or not, in the future, in the Eastern Region, when people talk about Shi Fengchun, the words that come to mind will be nothing but foolish!"
"I thought you’d say insidious, despicable, shameless." Shi Fengchun gave a faint smile.
Ye Chen: "After the event of you going to your death, your foolishness outweighs everything."
"Weren’t you saying you wouldn’t stop me?"
Ye Chen nodded, "I think you’re foolish this time, but I didn’t say I’d stop you because sometimes, you have to do things that you know will make you seem foolish."
Facing the pressure of the Eastern Region and fighting to the death with the alien races, isn’t it foolish?
Foolish!
But it must be done!
If not, there wouldn’t be the Asura Army we have now, nor the Cangzhou we have.
"Who says I’ll die?" Shi Fengchun squinted his small eyes, smiling at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen said, "You can certainly destroy the Silver Wing Race’s Beyond the Heavens, because nothing there is of much strength. To my knowledge, the top experts of the Hundred Races Alliance are mostly at the Eastern Region base of the Hundred Races Alliance, not in the Beyond the Heavens.
Even if there’s a Stone Monument Brand in the Silver Wing Race’s Beyond the Heavens, your power after life and death unification can resist it.
Because of the Asura Army in the celestial eye three races’ Beyond the Heavens, you need to plan so much to avoid the Asura Army being affected by the Stone Monument Brand’s power.
In the Silver Wing Race’s Beyond the Heavens, you’ll have no such worries.
But will you settle for merely destroying the Silver Wing Race’s Beyond the Heavens, Brother Chun?
In this, you’re much like me.
Once you make a move, you’ll certainly kill the Silver-winged Emperor.
So, next, you’ll go to the Hundred Races Alliance’s base!"
Shi Fengchun stared at Ye Chen, "Even if your guess is right, there’s one thing you said wrong. It’s not that I’m like you, but you’re like me, brat, still trying to take advantage of me even now?"
Ye Chen nonchalantly said, "And you’re still so petty even now, Brother Chun? Don’t mind the details, let’s talk business.
After your life and death unification, what really happened?
Your battle into the Hundred Races Alliance’s base is already a dead end.
Plus, with the issues arising from your life and death unification, it’s adding insult to injury!
I think we should first solve the problems on you before you seek revenge. Maybe there’s still a glimmer of hope."
Shi Fengchun: "No matter how you phrase it, you’re still trying to stop me."
Ye Chen: "Just trying to give you a few more days to live with some hope."
"If you want to know so badly, I’ll tell you."
Shi Fengchun had a faint smile, "Back then, at the True Martial Hall Main Hall, being hit in the face by a sacred artifact was absolute nonsense.
That so-called sacred artifact contained a Parasite’s will, and from then on, there was a Parasite inside me.
Then, a Fate Defier came to me, sacrificing himself without a word, transforming into a terrifying devouring force within me.
I used the Fate Defier’s devouring power to swallow the Parasite’s power inside.
In the long time that followed.
Parasites, Fate Defiers, and Reincarnators came to me one after another.
Some I killed and devoured.
Some I couldn’t kill, and they seemed afraid to kill me, so they fled.
Later.
The power within me became increasingly complex, and my body couldn’t withstand it. I inexplicably found the long-lost Life and Death Ten Prohibitions of the Main Hall.
By using the Life and Death Ten Prohibitions, I split the chaotic forces within into two, thus surviving the crisis.
Since I started cultivating the Life and Death Ten Prohibitions, no Reincarnator, Parasite, or Fate Defier has come knocking again."
After hearing what Shi Fengchun said,
Ye Chen’s brows furrowed tightly.
Brother Chun’s secrets were so complicated.
They involved Reincarnators, Parasites, and Fate Defiers.
Perhaps, it also had something to do with the True Martial Hall Main Hall.
After all, Brother Chun was first found by a Parasite at the Main Hall.
The Life and Death Ten Prohibitions was also a lost secret technique of the Main Hall!
Ye Chen’s intuition sensed that Brother Chun was under an invisible, terrifying web.
Brother Chun had lived his entire life under that terrifying web, being manipulated, being calculated!
"So, Brother Chun, is this why you are so eager to find Yi Xiaoyao?" Ye Chen said.
"Unfortunately, Yi Xiaoyao knew the answer but didn’t tell me directly. Moreover, I felt that Yi Xiaoyao seemed to really want to kill me after seeing me, but he held back at the end."
Shi Fengchun smiled, "I’ve told you what you wanted to know; now quickly lift the restriction on the spatial brand, I... have enemies to kill!"
Ye Chen: "Brother Chun, didn’t Yi Xiaoyao give you guidance? Don’t you want to find out clearly?"
"I’ll investigate after revenge."
"And if you die?"
"If I die, so be it."
Ye Chen was silent.
"Brother Chun."
"Hmm? What more do you want to say, hurry up!"
"Try to live."
Shi Fengchun still smiled and said, "Stop wasting words."
Ye Chen took a deep breath, lifted the restriction on the spatial brand, and handed the jade to Shi Fengchun.
Shi Fengchun refined the brand, opened the passage, and moved forward.
Ye Chen shouted, "As long as you’re alive, regardless of what happens, even if you aren’t Shi Fengchun anymore, I’ll make sure you become Shi Fengchun again!"
Shi Fengchun didn’t reply with a single word, didn’t look back, and just left like that.
