Chapter 1069: Changing Currents
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
At this moment, in a tall building in Danxu Town, Ye Chen, Huang Zhantian, and the others were staying in a presidential suite.
“Have you taken care of the people following us?” Ye Chen asked.
“Master, everything has been resolved. No one will know that we have entered this building,” Huang Zhantian reported.
Ye Chen nodded and quietly took off his mask, returning once more to his appearance as Ye Chen. At the same time, his aura also completely changed from its demonic nature to a calmer one.
Huang Zhantian, Wanyan Pojun, and the others were completely stunned by what they saw!
Ever since they met in the Blood Spirit Secret Realm, they had never seen the young man take off his mask. Therefore, they did not know what Ye Chen looked like.
However, right before their eyes, they saw Ye Chen’s face!
They had seen Ye Chen’s photo in the Luo family’s residence. Why did Ye Chen look so similar to their master?
No, wait, it was exactly the same!
“Master, you…” Huang Zhantian asked, “Are you the Ye Chen that the Luo family head was talking about?”
“Of course.” Ye Chen did not bother to hide it. After all, the four of them had signed a slave contract with him. If they had any thoughts of betrayal, their souls would be burned by flames. It was not a big deal to reveal his identity to them.
“I am Ye Chen. At the same time, I am also Ye Shitian!”
“Hiss…”
“Master?” The four of them gasped. “Do others in the Kunlun Mountains not know your identity, Master?” asked Huang Wuqiang.
Ye Chen nodded and told them not to tell anyone. “In the future, I’ll still need the identity of Ye Shitian. At the Alchemy Conference, you can just say that Ye Shitian asked you to follow me!”
“We understand!”
“Master, what should we do next?” Huang Zhantian asked.
Ye Chen’s eyes were fixed on the scenery outside the window. He placed his hands behind his back and said calmly, “We’ll wait for the Alchemy Conference to begin in three days!”
…
At the same time, in a mysterious place.
Blood energy lingered here, and the sky was faintly blood-red!
The blazing sun and blood moon hung high in the sky simultaneously.
More importantly, the spiritual energy here was extremely dense, several times more so than the Kunlun Mountains. Cultivating here would be very beneficial for any cultivator.
If Ye Chen was here, he would definitely find that this place was extremely similar to the Blood Spirit Secret Realm.
Near an extremely ancient building, there was a huge spirit stone that was engraved with three words…
Blood Spirit Clan!
This was the territory that the Blood Spirit Clan had occupied for tens of millions of years, and it was the birthplace of countless Blood Spirit Clan experts!
In the depths of the building, there was a terrifying formation, around which many experts sat cross-legged, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth!
There was a huge round stone pillar in the middle, atop which sat a skinny old man.
The old man’s hair was white and his beard was very long. His entire body emitted an extremely powerful aura, and there were countless spiritual talismans surrounding his body.
His eyes were closed, and there was a red light between his eyebrows, much like a third eye.
If Ye Chen was here, he would have noticed that the red light between the old man’s eyebrows was extremely similar to the light between his own eyebrows!
However, the power in his forehead was connected to the Netherworld, while the power in the old man’s forehead was connected to the Blood Spirit Clan’s forbidden land!
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew and the old man opened his eyes. He spat out a mouthful of blood!
The experts below the pillar naturally sensed something as well, and countless eyes opened, exhibiting fear and worry.
“Master, what’s wrong?”
“Master, you have been in seclusion for a thousand years. What has happened?”
Countless voices rang out. It was obvious how important the old man was to the Blood Spirit Clan experts!
The old man ignored the questions. His face was extremely dark and even filled with anger!
His blood essence suddenly became extremely dense.
“Who did it? Who dared to kill the Blood Spirit Clan members I placed in the lower planes?”
“Who in the Kunlun Mountains is qualified to kill all six of them?”
“Why is there a piercing pain between my eyebrows? Is something big going to happen to the Blood Spirit Clan?”
The old man’s angry eyes turned more and more uneasy.
He suddenly thought of something, and his fingers formed a seal and condensed an image projection.
In the image projection were ancient stone pillars, each of which were wrapped in chains covered in blood energy.
Bound by these chains to the pillars were mighty experts in deep sleep!
There were a hundred of them!
These were the hundred ancient mighty experts trapped in the Samsara Graveyard!
Luo Yuntian, Chen Qingcang, Dao Lord Slaughter, Ping Canghai, Chen Tianli, Duan Leiren, the Immortal Lord, Lin Qingxuan, Mo Ning, and Xue Qiye were all among them!
The old man saw that these trapped people were motionless and not exhibiting any fluctuations, he heaved a sigh of relief.
The disappearance of any one of these people would be a huge matter for him and the Blood Spirit Clan, and might even result in their clan being eradicated entirely!
Suddenly, the old man’s eyes focused and his cold eyes turned to the experts below the pillar.
“Something has happened in the Kunlun Mountains. Six of our clansmen have died mysteriously. I want to know how long it will be before the hundred years are up.”
A middle-aged man walked out from the crowd and knelt before the old man. “Master,” he said respectfully, “There’s still a little over a year left. The Earth where the Kunlun Mountains are located is a low-level plane. Over the years, we’ve almost squeezed dry all of the cultivation resources of those ants. We don’t even know if there are 1,000 people remaining who have reached the Supreme Emperor realm. How could something happen there?”
“Also, there shouldn’t be any Blood Spirit Clan members there, other than some Kunlun Mountains’ families and forces that are related to us.”
When the old man heard this, he snorted coldly. With a wave of his arm, the middle-aged man exploded and turned into bloody paste on the spot!
“I don’t like people doubting me!”
Everyone’s faces turned pale when they saw their master’s anger. No one even dared to breathe loudly.
The old man looked down at everyone with his hands behind his back and made a firm decision.
“Although there’s still a year left, I feel that something is wrong with the Kunlun Mountains this time. It’s as if there’s a huge variable hidden somewhere. I can’t wait a year. Take a few Blood Spirit Clan experts to the Kunlun Mountains to check it out! Investigate the cause of death of those clansmen! No matter what, we must bring back the head of the person who did it!”
“Yes, Master!”
An old man in a Daoist robe walked out and nodded. Without wasting any time, he pointed at a few experts, and together, they disappeared!
After that old man in the Daoist robe and the others disappeared, the skinny old man looked at the sky and moved his fingers.
“The stars are actually aligning. Could it be that the legendary person who controls reincarnation is about to appear? I wonder if this matter had anything to do with the Kunlun Mountains. I hope I’m overthinking things…”
…
Naturally, Ye Chen knew nothing of what had transpired in that mysterious place. These few days, the only thing he did was study alchemy.
After reaching the Daoyuan realm, his master of alchemy became even more terrifying. Furthermore, thanks to the things he had obtained from the Holy Herb Valley, Ye Chen’s Alchemy Dao had grown by leaps and bounds!
