Chapter 186 - Heading to the Emerald Cloud Sect (1/2)

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Emerald Cloud Sect was not far away. A round trip would take no more than two days.

Ye Chen summoned Little Wingsy and Little Tanuki.

“Little Tanuki, Little Wingsy, let’s go to the Emerald Cloud Sect!” Ye Chen’s current cultivation base was at the beginner Earthly Venerable Rank, but he could defeat a mid-Earthly Venerable expert. With his Astral Body, he could surely defeat a beginner Heavenly Venerable fighter. Moreover, in addition to Little Wingsy’s power, he would not have to fear that old b*stard Nie Qingyun at all!

“Big Brother Ye Chen, why are we going to the Emerald Cloud Sect?” Little Wingsy asked, puzzled.

“To fight,” Ye Chen replied in a low voice. He was rather anxious and hoped he would arrive on time.

“Fight? Fighting is my favorite thing to do!” Little Wingsy was delighted.

They headed to Master Apothecary Xuanyi’s alchemy room together. Before going to the Emerald Cloud Sect, Ye Chen wanted to take his leave from Master Apothecary Xuanyi.

“Ye Chen, do you want us to go with you? After all, the Emerald Cloud Sect is a major sect with swarms of experts.” Master Apothecary Xuanyi was rather worried.

“Master, don’t worry. Nie Qingyun is no match for Little Wingsy. Even if we can’t defeat them, we’re more than capable of surviving,” Ye Chen replied confidently.

Previously in Xuan Pavilion, Nie Qingyun had been taught a painful lesson by Little Wingsy. This was still fresh in everyone’s mind. Master Apothecary Xuanyi gave it some thought and nodded. “Be careful on your way. Currently, there are quite a few people outside who are watching you.”

“We will. We’ll be back in ten days at most.” Ye Chen bobbed his head. “Master, please let Great Emperor Mingwu know that for these few days, I won’t be able to go fishing with him.”

Master Apothecary Xuanyi nodded slightly. “Go on then.”

After saying goodbye to Master Apothecary Xuanyi, Ye Chen changed his clothes. Thereafter, he carried Little Wingsy and Little Tanuki with him and mounted the Vermillion Spirit Condor that had delivered the letter.

The Vermillion Spirit Condor gave a low screech, flapped its wings, and soared into the air. It flew in the direction of the Emerald Cloud Sect in the east.

Ye Chen wondered how Ye Xuan was doing in the Emerald Cloud Sect. Ye Chen was very fond of his cousin, Ye Xuan as she was warm and kind. They had grown up together in the House of Ye. Although they had not spoken much, they shared a deep bond akin to that of an older brother and a younger sister.

At the main peak of Emerald Cloud Mountain, the mountain range was precipitous and the forest was dense. Some mystical beasts would show up now and then in the valleys. A mountain road, paved with bluestones, wound up to the peak. Among the swirl of clouds and mist, a massive building could be vaguely seen.

This was the legendary Emerald Cloud Sect, one of the Three Major Sects of the Xiwu Empire. The Emerald Cloud Sect had tens of thousands of disciples, all of whom were martial arts experts from various families throughout the Xiwu Empire.

When Ye Chen was very young, each time his clan members brought up the Emerald Cloud Sect, they would do so in a tone of reverence. To them, the Emerald Cloud Sect was an existence out of their reach. Everyone would be extremely proud if one of the clan members was chosen by the Emerald Cloud Sect to join the sect. Therefore, Ye Chen did not stop Little Xuan from joining the Emerald Cloud Sect back then. If he could turn back time, Ye Chen would surely have turned his nose up at this Emerald Cloud Sect.

There would come a day when the Ye Clan would be an existence the Emerald Cloud Sect looked up to!

Searching for Little Xuan in such a colossal building was rather troublesome.

Little Tanuki leaped down from the Vermillion Spirit Condor and raced into the Emerald Cloud Sect while Ye Chen used his Astral Body to examine the buildings in the Emerald Cloud Sect.

Ye Chen’s Astral Body had two overpowering auras. One of them was a Heavenly Venerable Rank fighter, which must be Nie Qingyun. The other aura was in a cave in the cliff. Was it a top Heavenly Adept Rank Celestial Beast?

Nie Qingyun was currently together with that Heavenly Adept Rank Celestial Beast!

This was a new development. Ye Chen did not know what Celestial Beast that was. His Astral Body went in deeper and saw that the Celestial Beast had taken on a human form. It was an old man who had blazing red hair and beard, a stooped posture, and the appearance of senility. The beast’s original form was an Eclipsing Firebird. This Eclipsing Firebird had lived for so many years that it had cultivated to the level of a top Heavenly Adept.

In this old man’s presence, Nie Qingyun appeared to be extremely respectful. He straightened the waist of his fleshy body, but he still looked like a ball.
