Chapter 515: Reaching The Sea of Souls Realm (Part One) (2/2)
Ye Chen said lightly, ”It is just a title.”
Titles and fame could easily make people start to become greedy. And once one got unnecessarily serious about it, it would just be looking for trouble.
”Hehe… Regardless whether it is just an empty title or something real, you being able to make it up to this level is all because of your hard work. You have earned it. But, the throne is not that easy to stay on. In the future, the glory of the Southern region would be all on you. Even if you want to get out of it, you will not be able to do so. Some things will just not be the way you want them to be.”
Ye Chen nodded. Since he had already come this far, he would not let himself back out.
Soon, everyone came down to congratulate him. Up until this point, the tea gathering had already lost its purpose, since even Jing Aoxuan and Chu Zhongtian had already accepted Ye Chen's ultimate power. In fact, they were rather glad that he was here hosting the event, because if he were not, then this tea gathering would have been an unforgettable failure of the Southern region in history.
Right then, they had understood that the throne was not something that everyone could have. Without the appropriate power, it would only be a joke if one sat on it by force, since one could be beaten at any second.
On the second morning, the tea gathering successfully came to an end.
The incident with Xie Zhiqiu had increased the level of the legend. Perhaps, people would have forgotten about the tea gathering before, but they would not forget about this one ever.
…
The end of the tea gathering did not mean the end of news. Once it was fully spread out and everyone officially learned about Ye Chen being the top warrior of the whole South Region, the leaders of all the martial institutions could not help but gasp. It was just too surprising of a training speed, since in the last tea gathering, the three of them were still at the same stage, and Ye Chen had only gotten a slight advantage. However, only after two years of time, he had reached so far ahead of all of them. The title of a martial genius could no longer describe him; only a martial monster could summarise him better.
The South Rudra Region was already hyped, but the other regions were even rowdier at the news. They did not question Ye Chen's ability to grow, and they knew that as long as he continued doing whatever he was doing, he would be able to reach the Life and Death Realm eventually. And, they believed that once he did, he would be even more powerful than normal king warriors. They suspected that he might be just like the Mysterious Queen, rising to the top of the world within years.
”This kid shall not be left alone. Back in the days, the one Mysterious Queen had already destroyed our Nine Ghost Cult once. With one extra Ye Chen, even if our leader gets back to his old level, he would not be able to beat him.”
Inside a secretive underground garden, a group of men in black robes gathered together.
”Do you think it is a little bit over exaggerated? He has not even reached the Sea of Souls Realm yet, still so far away from Life and Death Realm!”
”Silly! Have you forgotten about what happened to the Mysterious Queen? It was indeed because of us underestimating her that led to our current situation. If we don't take him out before he grows even stronger, we will not be able to do anything to him anymore.”
”If that is the case, then I will take on this responsibility.”
”Just in case, you have to make sure to kill him in one attack, because there is still a South Rudra Martial School in the Windy City. I suspect that there are more than just Long Biyun there. Perhaps, there would be other Sea of Souls Realm warriors…even master level warriors perhaps. Therefore, we will not have a second chance...Only one shot, and one shot only! Ghost Cry, Ink Wolf, you two move together this time. Take out this kid immediately!”
”Do not worry! Although we are no master level warriors yet, a little brat should be a piece of cake. Just prepare to receive the great news soon.”
Shoo! Shoo!
With that, two of the men in black robes disappeared in the sky.
”Nightmare, you go follow behind them.”
The leading man in black seemed to be still concerned about the two as he said to the shadow in the dark behind him.
”Yes, second master!”
A dried up voice was heard, and the shadow then disappeared.
