“That’s right, it’s the Storm Sword.” Ye Chen smiled faintly.

Zi Lin shot Ye Chen a meaningful look. “Some time ago, the loss of the Storm Sword from the House of Storms created quite a commotion. To think that it’s in Your Excellency’s possession.”

“Elder Zi Lin, surely you won’t inform the House of Storms about this?” Ye Chen stared at Zi Lin.

“Rest assured, Your Excellency. My Spirit Artifact Council knows what’s what. The Spirit Artifact Council doesn’t have any particular regard for the House of Storms. No matter where it comes from, my Spirit Artifact Council only cares about business. A customer’s privacy is our duty,” Zi Lin said seriously.

From the previous transaction, Ye Chen had learned of the Spirit Artifact Council’s code of conduct. Otherwise, he would not have whipped out the Storm Sword so casually.

Master Ming Hua swept his gaze across the Storm Sword, but nothing rippled across his expression. “This Storm Sword is a Tier Nine spirit artifact on par with the Celestial Ice Sword and the Searing Sun Sword. Still, it’s augmented by a secret technique, so in terms of value, it’s worth more than the Celestial Ice Sword and the Searing Sun Sword combined. It may be considered a decent treasure.” He had seen all sorts of spirit artifacts before. Naturally, the Storm Sword would not astound him much.

“Master Ming Hua, please help me supplement these with the Sword Array Runic Seal. I thank you for your effort.” Ye Chen smiled as he handed over the Storm Sword.

Master Ming Hua nodded and picked up all three swords. He started to brand the Sword Array Runic Seal upon their surfaces and Ye Chen handed sixty twilight gold ancient coins to Zi Lin. Another transaction was completed.

After around two hours, the Sword Array Runic Seals had been successfully branded upon the three swords.

Ye Chen picked them up and dripped the blood from his hand onto the Sword Array Runic Seal on the swords while mobilizing the Ternary Sword Array technique. The three swords seemed to gain a life of their own and flew up, humming. The Storm Sword was the main sword and the other two were ancillary swords. All three moved according to Ye Chen’s will, swooping here and there, then landing by his side. They were just like his personal guards.

Ye Chen grinned in satisfaction. The Ternary Sword Array created from three Tier Nine spirit artifacts was dozens of times mightier than the Ternary Sword Array which Tuoba Yan had wielded. Not even the body of a Daemon King could withstand the slashing of these three Tier Nine spirit artifact swords!

Another deal was done. Zi Lin, who had taken the twilight gold ancient coins, smiled and glanced at Ye Chen. “I’ve already asked our apprentices to begin refining the ten thousand Tier Five spirit artifacts which will form the Thousand Sword Array. Fortunately, a few of our elders had a large amount of existing stock and we’ve purchased many from other factions as well. At last, we could just about gather ten thousand Tier Five spirit artifact longswords. I estimate that the refinement will be finished in just a few days.”

“Elder Zi Lin, how long more do you think it will take?” Ye Chen asked.

“Five days at most, three days at least, “Zi Lin replied.

“I’ll return after five days for the swords then.” Ye Chen looked at Zi Lin.

“Very well. If we’ve exited the Soul Pagoda after five days, Your Excellency may locate our Spirit Artifact Council outside the Soul Pagoda too.” Zi Lin nodded. They had already profited handsomely from Ye Chen. If Ye Chen did not arrive to claim his goods, they could still use those Tier Five spirit artifacts after erasing the Sword Array Runic Seals, so there was no need to worry. “Your Excellency, do you require our apprentices to escort you out?”

“There’s no need.” Ye Chen shook his head. With a “swish”, he kept the three longswords into the armguard’s space.

“Here’s my name card. With it, Your Excellency may contact me through any apprentice of the Spirit Artifact Council. Please accept it.” Elder Zi Lin respectfully offered a red name card. With a customer like Ye Chen, how could he let anyone else from the Spirit Artifact Council get involved?

Ye Chen nodded and accepted Zi Lin’s name card. After bidding farewell to Zi Lin and Master Ming Hua, Ye Chen exited the large tent of the Spirit Artifact Council.

Ye Chen was not wearing the long robe of the Spirit Artifact Council, yet he walked out of the Spirit Artifact Council’s camp. He quickly attracted a lot of attention. Wherever he went, people would stare at him.

“Ye Chen my boy, it looks like there are many interested in you. Among them, many are from various factions, so you should be careful. Also, can you hurry up and send away that little tyke Tong Tian and his disciples and descendants? I haven’t been intimate with my lovely young partner for many days now. Do you want my balls to explode?”

Upon hearing Master Lion’s words, Ye Chen was involuntarily speechless. It had only been a few days? Surely Master Lion was being too randy? Still, Tong Tian the Leo King and the rest were almost fully recovered by now. It was time for them to come out. Ye Chen ducked into a small trail and brought out Tong Tian the Leo King and the rest from the Heavenly Astra Seal.

“This is the sixth level of the Soul Pagoda?” Tong Tian the Leo King looked around, then turned back to Ye Chen. He had seen Ye Chen using a secret technique to change his appearance within the Heavenly Astra Seal. Therefore, he was not puzzled about Ye Chen’s current appearance.

“That’s right, we’re on the sixth level of the Soul Pagoda.” Ye Chen bobbed his head.

“For what happened in the Soul Pagoda’s seventh floor, the Leo King’s Palace owes Brother Ye a lifelong debt. In the future, if you have any command, my Leo King’s Palace wouldn’t hesitate to go through hell or high water to fulfill it!” Tong Tian the Leo King solemnly saluted with fist and palm.

“Leo King, it’s nothing,” Ye Chen said. Tong Tian the Leo King was so serious that Ye Chen was at a loss for words. “What do you plan to do next?”

“I’ll head to Thunder Cliff and reclaim my subordinates, then return to the Leo King’s Palace to sort things out. If there’s a chance, I’ll battle the Wolven Kingdom again, to the death!” The Leo King’s eyes flashed with a cold, determined look. His brother had died at the hands of the Wolven Kingdom. This grudge must be avenged.

“In that case, Leo King, we’ll part ways here. If chance allows, we’ll meet again. Moreover, please take care of Qing Yu. He’s the elder brother of my friend,” Ye Chen said.

“Brother Ye, please be rest assured.” Tong Tian the Leo King nodded.
