Chapter 380: The Forever Shining Will Power
Translator: 3herylEditor: Hitesh_
The Black Dragon Empire's Sky Star City was less than ten miles from the Star Regional Lake. In this city with a population numbering in the millions, there was a high end restaurant called the Nine Star White Jade Restaurant. It had nine levels, each level being more luxurious than the last. On the outside surface of the building was a very valuable white jade wallpaper, with gold carved on it as well, it was something special in the whole Black Dragon Empire.
On the seventh level of the restaurant, many top level Astral Reaching Realm warriors sat in the middle of the hall, chatting with each other.
”Everyone, don't try to figure this out again. I think that Ye Chen will not be able to walk out of the forbidden area within five years, and he might even die in there as far as I know.” The speaker was a middle-aged man with a square face and big nose, having a rather high cultivation; he was at the Late Astral Reaching Realm, which made him quite famous in the Sky Star City. Half a year ago, after Shen Tujue announced the news, it spread out at an extremely fast speed within the South Rudra Region. As a result, all the Astral Reaching Realm warriors had been talking about this for half a year, since Ye Chen was just so memorable from the Hidden Dragon Rank competition, in which he won all the way and eventually beat the top warrior of the young generation, Sikong Sheng. It had been two years now since the competitions, and he was again top of the generation, becoming an Extreme Astral Reaching Realm warrior. He had also killed the White Bone ghost warrior of the Nine Ghost Cult on the Blood Demon Battlefield. The news of him escaping from the top four Extreme Astral Reaching Realm warriors had shocked everyone in the South Rudra Region. Therefore, it was reasonable that his name would pop out in conversations constantly.
”Indeed, the possibility of him coming out is very small. But, even if he made it out, it might not be a good thing. After all, he had killed the core master of the Floating Mountain Martial School, Jin Huang, and then the White Bone ghost warrior. Both the Floating Mountain Martial School and the Nine Ghost Cult would not let him go, and his future would be quite worrisome.”
”Yeah, the head core master from the Floating Mountain Martial School, Shen Tujue, must be the one chasing after him for his school. According to the rumors, his cultivation is stronger than the head core master of the Heartless Marital School, Fei Youdao. He had already developed the warrior spirit, which represents the top power amongst the Extreme Astral Reaching Realm warriors. On the other hand, the remaining members of the Nine Ghost Cult would not be easy to take on either. There were two other ghost warriors just as powerful as the White Bone ghost warrior, especially the number one among them, the Five Poison ghost warrior. His body is full of poison, and even the breath he breathes out is powerful enough to poison a whole village of people. Competing with him, his opponent would be poisoned without even noticing. Even if it were not too serious, the warrior's attacking power would be affected, leaving the opponent no chance of fighting back.”
”This Ye Chen is so good at causing trouble. All of these people come from such a powerful background, the Floating Mountain Martial School, the remaining power of the Nine Ghost Cult… No matter who comes at me from amongst them, I would not be able to fight back.” Being able to sit on the seventh floor of the Nine Star White Jade Restaurant would mean they were all Astral Reaching Realm warriors, but they were only the normal ones. The most powerful one among them would be a Late Astral Reaching Realm warrior; they were not even that powerful, not to mention being at the top or extreme level. If a normal Extreme Astral Reaching Realm warrior attacked them, they would all have to die.
Tap! Tap! Tap
At this moment, a stepping sound came from the staircase. Although it was rather quiet, but everyone there heard it, and could not help but look over.
After three breaths of time, a young man appeared in everyone's sight.
He wore a blue robe, with a longsword around his waist, and his long black hair tightened up in a simple fashion. With that gentle jade-like sight, although he was not the most handsome man in the world, he was definitely good-looking.
It was indeed Ye Chen.
After running for dozen hundreds of miles, the first city Ye Chen arrived at was the Sky Star City, which was the closest to the Star Regional Lake. The distance was less than ten miles.
On the way here, Ye Chen had thought about it, and he knew that the news of him leaving the forbidden area would not be hidden for long, since there were bound to be people who would recognize him. As for the reason that he was able to do so, he had thought about the consequences of him saying that he had broken through using only Astral Reaching Realm cultivation, which would be too shocking for the world to comprehend, since the iron rule had never been broken before. Therefore, he had decided to make an obvious comeback, creating an illusion that he did not even go deep into the foggy forbidden area.
However, there would also be a day when the illusion would be broken, but he knew that it would not be broken too fast, and he was confident that before that day arrived, he would have gained enough power to protect himself.
The levels above the seventh floor of the Nine Star White Jade Restaurant could only be accessed by powerful Astral Reaching Realm warriors, among which, a lot of them would recognize him. This was why he decided to set the restaurant to be the first location. In a way, he wished to use their mouths to spread the news that he had returned.
”Oh my god! It is Ye Chen!”
Indeed, just as Ye Chen had expected, two of the people on the seventh floor had recognized him. The two had been to the Hidden Dragon Rank competition, and Ye Chen's appearance had made a deep mark in their brains.
”What? Are you sure?”
”Why should I lie to you? He is indeed Ye Chen.”
”I cannot believe it! He somehow made it out alive? It is so hard to comprehend.”
”What on earth!”
The guy who was just talking about that Ye Chen would not make it out for at least another five years was shocked at what he saw, looking like he had just seen a ghost.
Ye Chen smiled lightly and sat down by the table next to the window as the group chatted about him, as if he had not heard anything at all.
”Should we go say hello? I have heard that he has quite a good personality.”
”Yeah, I never heard anything bad about him. Let's go together.”
The two who had recognized Ye Chen stood up, walking towards Ye Chen.
”Warrior Ye, we have heard about you for a long time now.”
The two held their hands in front of their chest as a gesture of being respectful.
Ye Chen reached out his head, ”Sit.”
'This Ye Chen is indeed friendly. He has even asked us to sit down. How nice.' The two looked quite happy, and were even more respectful as they sat down.
