670 Dragon God Command Token, Dragon God Envoy (1/2)

Unfortunately, Dragon King's seclusion was a bit too long this time. Thus, it was no surprise that the four hostile forces were turning restless. If they didn't fear Dragon King's remaining influence, they would have long sent their troops to completely eradicate the Dragon God Celestial Palace. How could they leave the slightest chance for the Dragon God Celestial Palace?

Therefore, this was the best time for Ye Chen. Later on, as Dragon God Celestial Palace's strength waned further, even he would be of no help to contend against the four hostile forces. He couldn't be arrogant to battle one against a hundred or thousand. That would be simply courting death.

The eighteenth elder didn't say a word. When he met Ye Chen at the Ye Residence, he just knew that the latter was already determined, and nobody could change his decision. Furthermore, he believed that his ability to survive was very strong. To mature into his present state from a puny little genius, his ability to survive had to be formidable.

Everything that needed to be said had been said. All the elders looked at Grand Elder, waiting for his opinion.

The Great Elder opened his mouth, ”I've discussed it with the Protectors. They won't oppose Ye Chen entering the battle, but they strongly emphasized on one point—the disciples of Dragon God Celestial Palace must go to battle as well. This will not only help in tempering them, but also be fair.”

Great Elder's meaning was clear: Ye Chen, who was not even a member of Dragon God Celestial Palace, had come to offer without hesitation. Then, the disciples of Dragon God Celestial Palace naturally would have to participate as well. Otherwise, it would be inconsistent by both logic and sentiment.

”That is, of course, as it should be!” Hearing these words, the majority of elders nodded.

The great elder turned to Ye Chen and asked, ”Ye Chen, the drop of will Patriarch left in your sea, have you used it?”

He hoped that Ye Chen hadn't used the drop yet. Only when Life and Death Kings' will reached the sixth step would they be able to leave behind a drop of will in others' Sea of Soul. It should be known that this will was not ordinary; it contained a trace of Life Essence Zhen Yuan. This trace of Life Essence Life Zhen Yuan was essential for the King's will to show its wonders. It was equivalent to a full power defense of a half-step King. However, even Life and Death Kings with sixth step wills had limited Essence Life Zhen Yuan. Just using it once led to a drop in their cultivation base. One or two times was fine, but if used many times, they would need to undergo years of recovery.

”That, I've already used it.”

When he first arrived at the Sky Martial Region, he'd entered an underground crack in search of the Rootless Flower and Shadowless Grass. Who knew that the Shadowless Demon inside would be so frightening. If not for the Dragon King's will protecting, he would have lost his life right there. Thereupon, after the will was used, he eventually formed his Destruction Sword Soul at the moment of calamity and escaped.

Ye Chen still had lingering fears of that time to this day. To have one's body seized by the Shadowless Demon was a frightening affair. Even he, who had a strong will, felt his blood go cold thinking about that.

”Already used? What a pity!” Great Elder shook his head, but soon afterward felt some admiration. A few palace disciples had also received a drop of Dragon King's will, but none of them had used it. Although one could claim that everyone's encounters would be different, in any case, Ye Chen's claim that he had walked through one danger after another should be true.

”For you to have the heart to fight for Dragon God Celestial Palace. I, as the great elder of the Elders' Association, sincerely thank you. We've already discussed previously and decided to give you the identity of Azure Dragon Hall's deputy. If you some issue, we can have another discussion.”

”Deputy of Azure Dragon Hall?”

Ye Chen knew that Azure Dragon Hall was the head of five great halls. Although the status of Azure Dragon Hall's deputy was not above other four hall leaders', it was absolutely above the latter deputies. Therefore, it required more strength as well. He had originally thought that the identity of a head attendant would be enough. After all, he had no prestige in the Dragon God Celestial Palace, and it would be hard to avoid public dissatisfaction. Who knew that the result would be much better than he'd imagined.

His biggest issue coming to Dragon God Celestial Palace was that he would have to hear orders from others. This was not something he was fond of. However, at present, this problem no longer existed. Deputies had authority over ten thousand troops, and were usually only under the supervision of Hall Leaders.

'That's enough.” Ye Chen faintly smiled.

”Alright!” Great Elder faintly nodded, ”To obtain the deputy command token, you'll first have to assume the position. Elder Yu will take you there. In addition, this is Dragon God Command Token. With this token, you're my Dragon God Celestial Palace Envoy. Although it won't give you more authority than the Hall Leaders, your status will be above them. If necessary, you can disobey their command and act on your own discretion.

Saying these words, Great Elder handed over a five-colored command token. On its surface were five huge dragons with five different colors—azure, black, red, white, and yellow.

Ye Chen received the command token, feeling a little flabbergasted. As far as he knew, five hall leaders had command tokens respective to their halls. For example, the Azure Dragon Hall Leader had the Azure Dragon Command Token, Black Dragon Hall Leader had the Black Dragon Command Token, and so on. As for the deputies, they had tokens with the word 'little' added in their command tokens, for example, Little Azure Dragon Command Token. Long Biyi, despite not being deputy of Azure Dragon Deputy, possessed the Little Azure Dragon Command Token. Due to her direct relation with the Dragon King, her command token was a little different from the others. However, the Dragon God Command Token was even higher the Azure Dragon Command Token. He didn't know how many people had this token, but he could guess that it wouldn't be more than five, or even less.

Great Elder continued to explain, ”This Dragon God Command Token only has two copies. One is for Goddess Xu Jing and the other is for you…Use it well. With this command token, you can go anywhere in the palace without fear, including the forbidden zones.”

Hiss!

The other elders present didn't expect that Ye Chen would receive the Dragon God Command Token. Of course, they didn't think that this was Great Elder or the Protectors' idea. It must have been the command Dragon King gave earlier. The former didn't have the authority to bestow the Dragon God Command Token.

”Ye Chen, with this token, your status is equivalent to our entire Elders Association.” Elder Yu said with a trace of envy on his face.

Ye Chen accepted the command token and said earnestly, ”Many thanks to Senior Dragon King and everyone's care. Ye Chen will certainly use this token with care.”

This status was bestowed by others. He would certainly not use it recklessly.

”Good! This meeting concludes here. Dragon God Envoy, have a rest at the palace first. When it's time to assume your position, someone will inform you.”

Azure Dragon Hall had lost a large number of troops, and needed to temporarily undergo some adjustment.
