Chapter 288: In the Eyes of a Daemon King
“Yes!” The surrounding thousand gold-armored imperial guards and even Great Emperor Mingwu heeded Ye Chen’s command. Who would dare to defy him? Looking up at the tall gold-armored soldiers standing above Ye Chen, they could not help but feel compelled to obey. However, their hearts grew more and more excited.
The Xiwu Empire was their home country. Their parents, wives, and children all lived there. If the Xiwu Empire was invaded by the Nanman Kingdom, it would inevitably end in a bloodbath. There was no guarantee that they would even be alive at the end. However, the Xiwu Empire now had a peerless master that was Ye Chen. It was basically impossible for the Nanman Kingdom to destroy the Xiwu Empire!
In the past, in their hearts, Great Emperor Mingwu was the War God that protected the empire. However, now Ye Chen’s strength was deeply ingrained in their minds. Today, Ye Chen saved them as well as the Xiwu Empire. Although they did not know what a Daemon King was, Ye Chen killed five Nanman Kingdom Heavenly Venerable Ones with just one blow each!
It was impossible to guess how much stronger this kind of power was compared to Great Emperor Mingwu.
The title ‘Great Master Ye’ had long been circulated amongst the gold-armored imperial guards. However, only now did they know that Ye Chen was such a powerful being.
A group of gold-armored imperial guards tied up the Nanman Kingdom Earthly Venerable combatants and dragged them in front of Ye Chen. There were twelve of them, excluding the ones who had just died.
“War God!”
“War God!”
The gold-armored imperial guards raised their spears and cheered loudly. Their voices seemed to reach the heavens itself.
The title ‘War God’ was the loftiest title in the Xiwu Empire! The gold-armored imperial guards expressed respect in their hearts in this way.
Ye Chen’s Astral Body went away to scout in the distance and found Little Wingsy, Nie Qingyun, and Great Emperor Mingwu fighting against Xie Dao and Xie Jian. Although Xie Dao and Xie Jian were beginner Mystique Venerable Ones, luck was against them for encountering Little Wingsy. Nie Qingyun and Great Emperor Mingwu had just reached beginner Mystique Venerable Rank, and although their cultivation was slightly lower than Xie Dao and Xie Jian’s, they could certainly win because it was two against one.
Seeing that there were no problems there, Ye Chen’s cold gaze swept over the Nanman Kingdom Earthly Venerable Rank masters. He pointed casually at one of them and said, “Untie him. As for the rest, seal their cultivation and lock them in the dungeon.”
“Yes!” The gold-armored imperial guards replied.
The Nanman Kingdom Earthly Venerable Rank combatant that was untied stood up doubtfully. He did not understand why Ye Chen only untied him but locked up the others. Did Ye Chen want to kill him? Looking up, he saw Ye Chen’s cold gaze sweep over him and he immediately quivered in fright.
“Noble sir, I was only following the instructions of my lord…” The Earthly Venerable Rank combatant warbled. The killing intent on Ye Chen’s aura made his legs tremble. It was not as unbearable for him even when he was in front of a Heavenly Venerable Rank combatant.
“Go back and tell this to the Grandruler of Nanman. I’m not interested in joining the war between two countries, but if he continues to attack the Xiwu Empire, then don’t blame me for being ruthless and slaughtering every single one of his people!” Ye Chen said in a cold voice.
The Earthly Venerable Rank combatant’s heart shuddered at Ye Chen’s words. Even if the Nanman Kingdom attacked the Xiwu Empire, they would not say that they would slaughter everyone in the country. However, he had no doubt about what Ye Chen said.
“Yes, I’ll definitely tell the Grandruler!” The Earthly Venerable rank combatant knew that he was lucky to be able to return alive. He wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead.
“Scram.” Ye Chen intoned.
“Yes.” The Earthly Venerable Rank combatant quickly knelt and kowtowed a few times towards Ye Chen. Then, he flew up and disappeared from everyone’s sight.
“Master, you must have suffered a fright. Please go back and rest.” Ye Chen stopped using the gold-armored soldier and said respectfully to Master Apothecary Xuanyi.
Master Apothecary Xuanyi shook his head and smiled wryly. “I didn’t expect Your Highness to be a Daemon King. How can I be qualified to be Your Highness’s Master?”
Ye Chen was startled slightly and said, “No matter what my status is, you’ve always been my Master. He who teaches me for one day is my father for life.” After Ye Chen came to the Capital City, he was taught diligently by Master Apothecary Xuanyi on alchemy. In addition, Ye Chen also respected Master Apothecary Xuanyi’s personality. However, Ye Chen could not explain the origin of the gold-armored soldier.
Master Apothecary Xuanyi looked at Ye Chen for a long time. He finally nodded when he saw the Ye Chen was sincere. “Very well. In that case, I shall do so.”
Master Apothecary Xuanyi was then escorted back to the palace by several Earthly Venerable Rank combatants.
In the distance, Little Wingsy, Nie Qingyun, and Great Emperor Mingwu were fighting fiercely against Xie Dao and Xie Jian. Xie Dao and Xie Jian were afraid that Ye Chen would come after them and had no desire to fight, so they fought while trying to run away. They tried to escape from Little Wingsy, Nie Qingyun, and Great Emperor Mingwu several times, but were always held back.
With Xie Dao and Xie Jian’s speed, it was impossible for Nie Qingyun and Great Emperor Mingwu to catch up to them. However, Little Wingsy’s speed was several times faster than that of Xie Dao and Xie Jian’s. He often rushed up to them with a fist, forcing them to turn and fight back. They did not dare to run away separately lest they get picked off individually.
