Chapter 1987: Chapter 1984: Another Clue
Upon hearing Ye Xuan’s words, the featherless chicken opened its mouth but didn’t know what to say.
He didn’t know what Emperor Ye had been through and naturally couldn’t comprehend that feeling.
Time slowly passed.
One man and one chicken stood there for a long time.
Until night fell, stars filled the sky.
Ye Xuan withdrew his gaze and turned to leave.
He didn’t go to the Land Dragon Palace.
Ao Qingxue had already been taken away for ninety thousand years, and any traces left in the Land Dragon Palace had long been erased.
Since Hai Fushi was here, it showed that this was the reward he received after pledging allegiance to Changxi back then.
It held no meaning anymore.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
At that moment, loud explosions rang out.
Above the Immortal Island, flashes of golden light shone, as if someone was hammering from the outside.
"This place is exposed?"
The featherless chicken was taken aback.
According to Emperor Ye, this place should be mostly unknown, so why was it discovered?
It might be the array triggered earlier, attracting the covetous eyes of the Dragon Clan Sea’s powerhouses.
Ye Xuan waved his hand, collecting Hai Fushi into his world, then ascended to the sky with the featherless chicken, gently waving his hand to shatter that golden light.
With a booming explosion, the portal was opened.
And in the outside world, numerous Sea Clan powerhouses gathered and were gesturing toward there.
When Ye Xuan acted, causing the portal to open, the Sea Clan powerhouses cheered.
"It’s open!"
"Huh, there’s a living being!"
At this moment, a Sea Clan powerhouse noticed someone walking out from the portal.
Ye Xuan walked out from the portal.
Surrounded on all sides, there were Sea Clan powerhouses.
Including sharks, whales, tiger-dragon beasts, and other fierce sea beasts.
There were also soldiers dressed like shrimp soldiers and crab generals.
All the eyes of living beings focused on Ye Xuan.
Their gazes bore ferocity and cruelty, curiosity, and even confusion.
"Why is there someone in that legendary hiding place?"
A tiger whale, covered with scars, growled.
This was in the language of the Sea Clan.
"This so-called hiding place has been rumored for so long, whether it truly exists yet remains to be proven. We’ve searched for so many years; if not for seeing that golden Divine Light earlier, we wouldn’t have found it, so how did this person get here first?"
The tiger-dragon beast also growled in a low voice.
For a moment, the Sea Clan powerhouses surrounded Ye Xuan.
They exchanged words without reservation.
This was in the language of the Sea Clan, intelligible to no other races.
To the speaker unintentional, to the listener with intent.
When Ye Xuan heard the Sea Clan discussions, his eyes flashed with a sharp gleam.
Ye Xuan glanced around and finally fixed his gaze on the sole human-like being.
This was a man, draped in black Divine Armor, with a blood-red cloak flowing behind him.
This person kept his arms crossed and coldly looked down at Ye Xuan.
This was a powerful Second Layer Great Saint Realm being.
He was the most formidable among these Sea Clan powerhouses, the only Great Saint Realm powerhouse.
"Master Emperor Ye, shall I apprehend this person?"
The featherless chicken, seeing Ye Xuan focused on the man, comprehended immediately and asked softly.
Ye Xuan nodded slightly.
"Alright!"
The featherless chicken, without hesitation, flashed in front of the black-armored man.
Then extended its chicken claw.
The man was greatly astonished, retreating swiftly, but found the chicken claw enlarging, seemingly covering the heavens and earth.
With a thunderous roar, the man was easily subdued by the featherless chicken.
The other Sea Clan powerhouses were dumbstruck.
What’s happening?
"Lord Blood Flood Dragon!"
Beside the man stood two sea beasts that reacted quickly, both at the True Destiny Great Sage Realm.
They had long awakened their True Self Destiny, possessing extraordinary power.
Boom!
However, before they could act, they were immobilized by a mere glare from the featherless chicken.
The featherless chicken swung its chicken claw, bringing the black-armored man before Ye Xuan.
Although there was no concrete restraint, the black-armored man felt as if he were bound like a dumpling, unable to move anything but his mouth.
The black-armored man was deeply shocked; what realm was this guy in? Could it be the strength of the Third Layer?
Or perhaps the Upper Third Layer?
But such a level, they either hadn’t emerged yet, or set their sights on the Emperor Road; why appear here?
Moreover, he hadn’t even made a move!
Facing the black-robed youth before him, the black-armored man’s eyes showed fear.
Clearly, the black-robed youth was the true master here.
"Sir..."
The black-armored man prepared to speak.
Ye Xuan coldly said, "What are you searching for?"
The black-armored man was momentarily taken aback, opened his mouth, paused for a moment, then said, "Weren’t you the one who just came out from inside..."
Ye Xuan sternly said, "I’m asking what are you looking for?"
The black-armored man suddenly felt as if falling into an icy cave; an inexplicable chill swept over his heart.
The black-armored man trembled; why was this youth so terrifying?
"We... we’re looking for a legendary hiding place."
The black-armored man replied honestly.
"I need a complete process."
Ye Xuan said coldly.
"Lord Blood Flood Dragon!"
The surrounding sea beasts shouted.
"Shut up, all of you!"
The featherless chicken bellowed coldly.
Instantly, the pressure unique to the Phoenix erupted, overwhelming the scene.
In that moment, countless sea beasts felt terror stemming from their bloodlines.
True Dragons, Phoenixes, and Qilins were the strongest bloodlines among the world’s birds and beasts.
In the most ancient times, True Dragons ruled the seas, the Phoenix the skies, and the Qilin the continent.
They divided the world into three realms.
All birds and beasts had to bow before these three.
Though the featherless chicken seemed unimpressive, it bore the Phoenix bloodline, and as a descendant of the first Phoenix Ancestor in heaven and earth, after nine Nirvana lifetimes, its bloodline was formidable, awe-inspiring.
The might of a Quasi-Emperor combined with the Phoenix bloodline made it so none of the Sea Clan powerhouses present could lift their heads.
At this moment, countless were intimidated by the featherless chicken.
The black-armored man, known as Lord Blood Flood Dragon, realized he could no longer escape.
He swallowed nervously and awkwardly said, "This matter was ordered by the Dragon Palace; we are merely the errand-runners, unaware of the detailed information."
Ye Xuan, with his hands behind his back and eyes slightly closed, said lightly, "Tell me what you know."
Seeing Ye Xuan’s relentless demeanor, Blood Flood Dragon realized he had no choice but to speak. This was no time for considering consequences; if he didn’t explain clearly, he might well lose his life here.
Blood Flood Dragon spoke reluctantly, "According to the lords from the Dragon Palace, there has always been a hiding place in the Dragon Clan Sea, left by the Extreme Heavenly Dragon Emperor during the Emperor Era, but no one has ever obtained it. Thus, our task is to find this hiding place."
Ye Xuan coldly asked, "When did you receive this task?"
Blood Flood Dragon thought for a moment and said, "I should have received this task ninety thousand years ago; others haven’t had it for as long."
Ye Xuan suddenly opened his eyes, a faint gleam shining: "Besides you, who else?"
