Chapter 908: Heaven’s Declaration
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The girl stared at Ye Chen, not daring to speak., but also forcefully concealing the towering anger in her heart and her determination to kill Ye Chen!
She wanted him dead!
Ye Lingtian looked around and felt uneasy.
“Hall Master, let’s go.”
“Alright.”
Ye Chen did not waste any time and helped Ye Lingtian get back onto the Fire Cloud Deer and turned to lead it away.
However, just as he was about to pass through the crowd, a dignified voice suddenly rang out.
“Stop!”
Then, Ye Chen saw dozens of armored cultivators appear around him, sealing off all routes of escape.
At the same time, a muscular man who was nearly two meters tall and had explosive muscles walked out from behind the group of armored cultivators.
The man was dressed in red armor and held a broadsword with golden patterns in his hand. His arms were extremely thick; more than twice as thick as Ye Chen’s, and as walked toward Ye Chen, his oppressive pressure began to bear down on Ye Chen.
It felt like he was facing an armored tank!
Ye Chen narrowed his eyes. He could feel the blood boiling in his body. His instinct was telling him that this person was dangerous.
This person was definitely not an ordinary cultivator, but also a bona fide body refining cultivator!
“Personal fights are not allowed in Seaside City! Don’t you know the consequences?”
The burly man’s cold gaze swept across the crowd.
“Who reported the incident?” The onlookers exclaimed.
“Xiang Yingjie from Seaside City’s Punishment Bureau has arrived!”
“Xiang Yingjie is known as a martial arts maniac in Seaside City. Furthermore, he’s brutal and ruthless. Most people don’t dare to cause trouble in Seaside City because of Xiang Yingjie’s style of handling things!”
“The Punishment Bureau is no joke. In Seaside City, they are the true executors of the law. Now that Xiang Yingjie has appeared here, that brat is dead for sure!”
“I heard that Xiang Yingjie was ranked first on the Spirit Endowment rankings decades ago. If it was not for his age exceeding the limit, the current number one on the Spirit Endowment Rankings probably wouldn’t be Ji Siqing.”
“However, Xiang Yingjie’s pursuit is not the Spirit Endowment Rankings, but the true strength rankings of the Kunlun Mountains… the Heaven’s Declaration!”
“There are only 1,000 spots on the Heaven’s Declaration, and almost all the true top-notch experts of the Kunlun Mountains are gathered there. Even some peak-level origin realm experts are not qualified to join the rankings. Only origin king, Daoyuan realm, and Emperor realm experts are qualified. However, Xiang Yingjie was ranked 912th on the Heaven’s Declaration at the age of 37! It’s downright terrifying!”
“Furthermore, he’s a body refining cultivator!”
“I’m afraid that only a few people in the Kunlun Mountains can compete with Xiang Yingjie’s talent under the age of 40. Although Ji Siqing might have the ability to enter the Heaven’s Declaration, she seems to only focus on her cultivation and has not killed or defeated any of the experts on the Heaven’s Declaration.”
“No, there’s one more person who’s definitely not inferior to Xiang Yingjie. Don’t forget about Ye Shitian, who appeared out of nowhere! It is said that this person’s talent very likely surpasses Ji Siqing’s, and that he is a combat maniac. Furthermore, he hasn’t reached the age of 30 yet. He’s truly terrifying.”
“What nonsense are you spouting? Ye Shitian’s feats have always been just legends. I’ve heard that Ye Shitian’s strength fluctuates between high and low. We’ll only know who is better after an actual battle between the two of them. Forget it, let’s not talk about it. If Xiang Yingjie hears this, we’re dead.”
The crowd gradually quieted down.
Ye Chen listened to the voices of the crowd and frowned.
He had heard of the Spirit Endowment Rankings, but this was the first time he had heard of the Heaven’s Declaration.
While Ye Chen was in a daze, the injured girl’s eyes started glowing with new life! He took a step forward and grabbed Xiang Yingjie’s arm!
“Brother Yingjie! You have to stand up for me! Not only did someone kill my followers, but he even slapped me and threatened to destroy my Xu family! Wuwuwu…”
Xiang Yingjie looked down at the young girl and frowned.
Naturally, he saw the redness and swelling on Xu Yaxin’s face.
Although his relationship with the Xu family was ordinary, this matter was under his jurisdiction, so he was duty-bound to act.
There was actually someone so arrogant as to slap Xu Yaxin?
He followed Xu Yaxin’s gaze and looked straight at Ye Chen, who was leading the Fire Cloud Deer.
Xiang Yingjie’s eyes were filled with killing intent and malevolence!
“You were the one who did all this just now!”
Ye Chen nodded fearlessly.
After getting the answer he was looking for, Xiang Yingjie took a step forward and stabbed his broadsword into the ground.
“Not only did you start a fight, but you dared to kill people too?”
“By the authority vested in me by the Punishment Bureau, you are hereby sentenced to death!”
With two shouts, Xiang Yingjie’s endless power erupted, which was channeled through the broadsword into the ground.
The ground cracked, and the Fire Cloud Deer was forced to immediately kneel down!
Although it was a spiritual beast, it had limitations as well.
Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed. He knew how terrifying this aura was, so he focused all his energy on protecting Ye Lingtian immediately. If Ye Lingtian suffered another blow in his injured state, he might die!
However, Ye Chen was caught off guard. It was too late to summon Little Gold!
He spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot, but his eyes became bloodshot as well.
Ye Chen was furious. He raised his head and said, “Do you f*cking understand what happened here? You didn’t even bother to investigate! Your punishment bureau is full of bullsh*t!”
The crowd was silent!
No one expected Ye Chen to dare to say something so audacious.
Did he not want to live anymore?
Xiang Yingjie’s eyes also flashed with a trace of coldness. Although he did not know why his power had not killed these two people, he did not care. He pulled out the broadsword and shouted, “”Such lies! Today, I shall punish you on behalf of the Heavenly Dao!”
Xu Yaxin saw this and sneered. She could not wait for Ye Chen to die a miserable death. From her perspective, the outcome was already decided.
However, Ye Chen was naturally not afraid. Rather, his heart was filled with rage. Even if he could not defeat Xiang Yingjie, so what?
He had already communicated with Mo Ning in the Samsara Graveyard, so he had nothing to fear.
At this critical moment, a blue-robed old man rushed in and stood in front of Ye Chen.
It was Feng Tai, who had inspected Ye Chen’s Core Tower’s jade pendant at the entrance of the city!
Feng Tai’s forehead was covered in sweat. He looked at Xiang Yingjie and cupped his hands before turning to Ye Chen and greeint him.
“Mr. Ye!”
He wanted to say the word ‘alchemist’, but on second thought, alchemists of Ye Chen’s level usually kept their identities a secret.
If he were to flaunt it and other forces came to curry favor with Ye Chen, then he and the Feng family would stand no chance against them!
