Chapter 315 - Leo King’s Token! (2/2)

“Yes!” The disciple bowed and left.

Underneath a secluded tree in the distance, Ye Chen’s Astral Body sensed that someone was peeping. He smirked. That person must be from the Scarlet Flame Sect. Anyway, from that distance, that person would not be able to hear what the conversation was between him and the elders from the Stygian Sect and the Oracle Sect. He looked at the five elders from the Stygian Sect and the Oracle Sect. All of them appeared to be over sixty years old, but still look sprightly and spirited.

“Little Brother, may I ask where is His Highness?” The elders from the Stygian Sect and the Oracle Sect looked around. They thought that the Daemon King was not here. They did not consider the possibility that the Astral Body they had encountered from earlier was released by Ye Chen. He was the so-called “Daemon King”.

“This is not for you to ask.” Ye Chen’s expression darkened, pretending to look displeased. At this time, he could not allow these people to find out the truth about him.

Ye Chen’s tone puzzled the elders slightly. The young man standing before them must come from a strong background or he would not use such a tone to talk to them. They tried to guess Ye Chen’s identity. Perhaps he was the Daemon King’s disciple or assistant?

“My name is Mu Dongyuan, an elder from the Oracle Sect. This is Mu Donglin, also an elder from our sect.” An old man with white hair and white beard introduced, assessing Ye Chen with a pair of energetic eyes.

“My name is Chu Bai. They are called Chu Yan and Chu Ming respectively. All three of us are the elders of the Stygian Sect.” Upon hearing My Dongyuan from the Oracle Sect speak, one of the elders from the Stygian Sect also opened his mouth.

The Stygian Sect and the Oracle Sect were ranked second and third among the major sects of the Central Empire. Both sects belonged under the Leo King. They had always been in a competitive relationship. Currently, the Stygian Sect was slightly ahead of the Oracle Sect but the Oracle Sect’s mastery over the Heavenly Foretelling Technique had earned them favor with the Leo King. Although these two sides competed against one another, they also supported each other.

The two major sects had a large number of Mystique Venerable or Mystique Adept Rank masters. Each sect had more than fifty or sixty people. However, until now, no one had managed to break through to Godly Venerable Rank. It was extremely difficult to achieve that rank, unless one had some kind of ancient supreme cultivation system. Otherwise, it was very difficult to break through. However, most of the ancient supreme cultivation systems had been lost.

“Hmm, I’ve noted your names.” Ye Chen swept a glance at the five of them and committed their faces to memory.

“Why did His Highness summon us?” Mu Dongyuan asked cautiously. As an elder from the Stygian Sect, he knew the terrifying powers of a Daemon King. Although this Daemon King who summoned them was not their boss, the Leo King, they still had to act carefully. Even the Leo King would not simply provoke a Daemon King existence!

Mu Dongyuan and the others felt quite uneasy. A Daemon King existence was truly terrifying and was often unpredictable in its moods. Should the Daemon King decide to kill them, they had nowhere to complain to. The Leo King had way too many Mystique Venerable Rank masters under his control, so he would not risk provoking a Daemon King just for one Mystique Venerable Rank master. Moreover, the Leo King’s Palace’ main forces were currently focused on confronting the Wolven Kingdom. There was no idle capacity to confront another Daemon King. Although the difference was only one rank higher, a Mystique Venerable Rank cultivator was like naught but an ant in the eyes of a Daemon King.

“Do you recognize this?” Ye Chen retrieved a nameplate from his armguard space, the Leo King’s Token!

“We recognize!” The five elders clasped their hands and bowed. They had seen the Leo King’s Token many times, so they would not fail to recognize it. This young man before them must be related to the Leo King because the Leo King would not give the token to outsiders lightly. Although these elders had occupied a respected position among ordinary people, they knew that they were completely insignificant before Tong Tian the Leo King. Just a few choice words from this young man to the Leo King would easily determine their life and death.

“Since you know the Leo King’s Token, very well, listen to my instructions later,” Ye Chen said in an unquestionable tone. If he were to treat these elders kindly, they might turn around and suspect him.

“Yes, we’ll obey!” The five elders chorused in reverence. Now that they saw the Leo King’s Token, no matter what happened, they would have to obey Ye Chen’s every command. Otherwise, if the Leo King found out, it would be a death penalty!

“Come, let’s enter the training ground!” Ye Chen said. His eyes narrowed. With the support of two major sects, he felt his confidence grew. ‘Today, I’m going to stir up trouble in the Scarlet Flame Sect!’

Ye Zhanlong, Ye Meng, Ye Xuan, and the others watched from a distance. Their hearts were extremely anxious. These five sprightly-looking old men were most probably skilled masters as they could tell from the energies radiated by Mu Dongyuan and the rest of the group. Why were these five men looking for Ye Chen?

“Father, who are these five men?” Ye Meng asked puzzledly.

“Judging from their clothes, they seem to be from the Stygian Sect and the Oracle Sect, the second and third rank major sects in the Central Empire. These five must be their elders!” Ye Zhanlong was also astonished. The Scarlet Flame Sect, which ranked fifth in the Central Empire, was already a behemoth existence in their eyes, what more these two major sects ranked second and third respectively? Why were they talking to Little Chen?

“They seem very polite toward Big Brother Ye Chen.” Ye Xuan added beside them. Ever since the beginning, Big Brother Ye Chen had been like a great mountain standing in front of them, protecting the Ye Clan. As time passed, she realized that they no longer understood Ye Chen. Nevertheless, she knew that no matter how much time may pass, the camaraderie among the Ye Clan would never change.

Ye Zhanlong and Ye Meng also noticed that these people treated Ye Chen courteously, and seemed a little wary. They did not understand what was happening. Was this again related to the Ye Clan’s Great Ancestor? Did the Great Ancestor have such influential abilities that even major sects such as the Stygian Sect and the Oracle Sect have to bow to him?

Just as they were talking, Ye Chen walked over to them together with the five elders.

“Let’s enter the training ground,” Ye Chen said evenly. “I want to see if the Scarlet Flame Sect dares to stop us!”

“Yes.” Ye Zhanlong and the others were quite excited. Now that Ye Chen had the support of two major sects, they did not have to fear the Scarlet Flame Sect anymore.
