Chapter 905: Entering Seaside City
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“It’s a pity that I don’t have the authority to enter, so I can only stand guard outside, hoping that someone from my family will pass by. However, I’ve been out here for many days, and what I’ve encountered these past few days feels like a nightmare.”
Ye Chen wanted to ask what was going on, but seeing Ye Lingtian s evasive gaze, he decided not to ask further and wait for Ye Lingtian to voluntarily share. “Let’s go.” He then helped Ye Lingtian up. “I’ll bring you into Seaside City.” When Ye Lingtian heard that, he quickly shookhis head and refused. “Hall Master, Seaside City is heavily guarded. Without someone vouching for you, it s impossible to enter. It’s better to wait here for my family.” While he respected Ye Chen, and he also knew how powerful Ye Chen was, this was not Huaxia, but the Kunlun Mountains! There were many experts here that far surpassed Ye Chen’s power in Huaxia back then.
He did not want Ye Chen to take risks for him.
Moreover, he knew Ye Chen’s style of doing things. Once he got into a conflict with the gatekeepers, his temper would definitely ignite and a fight would definitely start.
Ye Chen felt rather speechless. This fellow was one of the leaders of the Dark Hall and was an influential figure in Huaxia. Why did he become so timid in the Kunlun Mountains?
However, on second thought, Ye Lingtian’s strength was indeed lacking in comparison to the cultivators here.
After all, he was only an early-stage transcendent realm cultivator.
It seemed like it was time to bring a part of Dark Hall into the Kunlun
Mountains to strengthen them.
Ye Chen did not think too much about it. He patted Ye Lingtian and said, Ye Lingtian, just get on my mount and follow me in!”
After all, Ye Lingtian was injured, so it would be easier to move around using the Fire Cloud Deer. However, he did not dare to sit on Ye Chen’s Fire Cloud Deer, and was just about to refuse when Ye Chen shouted, “Ye Lingtian, do you dare to disobey me?”
Ye Lingtian’s face was pale. He knew the Hall Master’s personality. If he disobeyed, the Hall Master would be furious!
After hesitating for a few seconds, he eventually got onto the Fire Cloud Deer. Due to his injuries, he could only lie down and grab hold of the two horns of the Fire Cloud Deer.
Following that, Ye Chen led the Fire-Cloud Deer toward Seaside City.
From an outsider’s perspective, Ye Chen looked like a servant while Ye Lingtian looked even more out of place. After all, his clothes were all in tatters.
Ye Lingtian quietly raised his head and stared at the experts guarding the city gate, holding his breath. The cultivation levels of the gatekeepers seemed like towering mountains, and the auras they emitted made him feel very uncomfortable.
“Stop! Show me your Seaside Token! Furthermore, it has to be one Seaside Token per person! Violators will be killed without mercy!
Before Ye Chen and Ye Lingtian could get close, these cold words were uttered, killing intent.
Ye Lingtian’s palms were already sweaty from the nervousness.
Ye Chen shook his head at them. “I’m sorry. I don’t have a Seaside Token.”
“How dare you approach this place without a Seaside Token! You re courting death!”
As soon as the gatekeeper finished speaking, a long spear flashed toward the pair.
Before the spear could touch him, Ye Chen calmly took out the jade pendant that Alchemy Master Ling Yi had given him.
Origin Grade Alchemist, Ye Chen! These words were shocking and majestic. Light swirled around the pendant.
The gatekeeper immediately recognized the jade pendant, and his sword stopped in their tracks.
Origin Grade Alchemist? Ye Chen?
Everyone’s faces were filled with fear. After all, they had never seen such a young alchemist before, not to mention an origin-grade alchemist!
Although everyone was suspicious, they did not attack Ye Chen immediately. Instead, a gatekeeper rushed inside, obviously to ask for instructions from a superior.
Not long after, a blue-robed old man hurriedly walked out. His aura was extremely oppressive as he shouted, “Where is that alchemist? If you forged that token, it’s a capital crime!”
Before he could finish his sentence, he noticed the jade pendant in Ye Chen’s hand. His eyes narrowed and he quickly stepped forward.
“Sir, may I have a look at the jade pendant?”
“Just take it.” Ye Chen threw it casually, scaring the blue-robed old man half to death.
When he caught it, he stared at the jade pendant. His eyes were filled with fear and he even knelt down.
Such respect was only displayed between alchemists with a great disparity in status and nobility, but Ye Chen was qualified to receive such honor.
The gatekeepers were stunned. Feng Tai was an out-and-out big shot in Seaside City, and countless people fawned over him. However, this big shot was now kneeling in front of a young man!
The gatekeepers finally regained their senses and knelt down as well. Seeing this, Ye Chen nodded and put away the jade pendant. He then led Ye Lingtian into Seaside City.
At that moment, Ye Lingtian was completely petrified. He had never thought that the Hall Master would actually be able to enter Seaside City, much less bring him along.
Even that big shot and the gatekeepers knelt before him!
At the same time, his blood started to boil. He knew that he had not followed the wrong person!
After entering Seaside City, Ye Chen asked Ye Lingtian, “Where is your family’s territory? I’ll take you there first.”
Even though it was past the day of Ye Lingtian’s father’s burial, as a son, the first thing he had to do when he entered the city was to kneel before his father’s grave.
Ye Lingtian felt grateful, but just as he was about to speak, a violent spiritual beast rushed toward him!
On the spiritual beast was a veiled young girl, but she was clearly unable to tame this mount. She kept struggling, but she did not dare to let go.
A few origin realm experts were frantically chasing her from behind.
“Young Miss, hold on! We’ll help you!”
The origin realm experts wanted to shoot arrows to kill this crazed spiritual beast, but they were afraid of hurting her.
Seeing that the violent spiritual beast was about to collide with Ye Lingtian, the Fire Cloud Deer beneath Ye Lingtian instinctively raised its front legs and kicked the spiritual beast away.
The Fire Cloud Deer was a mount given to Ye Chen by Alchemy Master Ling Yi, and given the latter’s veneration toward Lin Qjngxuan, he had given Ye Chen the very best he had.
Its fiery feet slammed into the violent spiritual beast, knocking it away. At the same time, the young girl lost her balance and fell down.
Since the Fire Cloud Deer, Ye Chen did not make a move, but kept an eye on the situation.
Seeing the young girl fall, the expressions of the origin returning realm experts changed drastically as they rushed over and helped the girl up.
“Young Miss, are you alright?”
“Please don’t be injured. Otherwise, if the Old Master blames us, we won’t be able to bear the consequences!”
