Chapter 1647: Chapter 1636: Something’s Wrong! Demonic Path Invasion!
Ye Chenfeng didn’t expect that there was a Dragon Bone Token in Zhang Shengcai’s storage ring. It seemed Zhang Shengcai was also eligible to enter the Dragon Origin Secret Realm.
As for the other things in Zhang Shengcai and the others’ storage rings, Ye Chenfeng really wasn’t interested at all. Speaking of elixir pills, Ye Chenfeng himself was an Alchemist; speaking of magical artifacts, Ye Chenfeng was an Artifact Refiner.
By the standards of alchemy and artifact refining in the Earth Profound Realm, Ye Chenfeng was already considered extremely top-tier in both fields.
Now Ye Chenfeng had two Dragon Bone Tokens. Those who could enter the Dragon Origin Secret Realm had to be below the Reincarnation Realm in strength.
According to what Ye Chenfeng previously learned from Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an, all Space Laws were restricted in the Dragon Origin Secret Realm. At that time, it was estimated that Ye Chenfeng’s Chaos Ring would also be unusable.
In the four major Sects of the Earth Profound Realm—Wind Thunder Sect, Sword Feather Villa, Star Cloud Sect, and Heavenly Sound Sect—the disciples of Wind Thunder Sect, Sword Feather Villa, and Star Cloud Sect would definitely target Ye Chenfeng and the disciples of Red Flame Sect after entering the Dragon Origin Secret Realm, and might even try to kill them.
The Dragon Bone Token obtained from Zhang Shengcai, Ye Chenfeng didn’t want to waste it. Even without killing Zhang Shengcai and the others, the three major Sects like Wind Thunder Sect wouldn’t let him off in the Dragon Origin Secret Realm.
If he handed this Dragon Bone Token to the Red Flame Sect, there was no suitable candidate within the Red Flame Sect to enter the Dragon Origin Secret Realm.
As understood by Ye Chenfeng, among the core disciples of the Red Flame Sect, only the chief senior disciple had reached the level of the Creation Realm, while the other disciples were below the Creation Realm.
Among the disciples entering the Dragon Origin Secret Realm from the four major Sects, they would certainly have reached the Creation Realm. Letting disciples below the Creation Realm from the Red Flame Sect enter the Dragon Origin Secret Realm would simply be sending them to their deaths.
After thinking about it in his mind, Ye Chenfeng had two relatively suitable candidates: Zuo Feibai, the young master of Yunxian Sect, and Wu Lifen, the young master of Sunset Island. These two were both at the level of the Creation Realm, and they could barely go into the Dragon Origin Secret Realm for a challenge.
But Ye Chenfeng only had one extra Dragon Bone Token on hand.
Ye Chenfeng decided not to think too much for now and to make a trip back to the Ye Gate first. As for what to do with this Dragon Bone Token in hand? He would think about it slowly later!
Ye Chenfeng didn’t bother with the corpses of Zhang Shengcai and others on the ground anymore. The opening of the Dragon Origin Secret Realm wouldn’t wait for him. He had to hurry and go back to the Ye Gate.
In the following ten days.
Ye Chenfeng traveled day and night without resting, and fortunately, he didn’t encounter any other trouble along the way.
At midday on the tenth day.
Ye Chenfeng arrived at the foot of the mountain where the Ye Gate was located.
The last time when he left the Ye Gate, Ye Chenfeng had entrusted it to Elder Tianhuo to manage. After all, Elder Tianhuo was at the Peak of the third layer of the Reincarnation Realm!
In Ye Chenfeng’s view, with Elder Tianhuo overseeing things, nothing unexpected should happen at the Ye Gate!
Back then, during the artifact refining competition, Ye Chenfeng had defeated Zhu Wenchang, an Elder of the Refining Sect, and Elder Tianhuo was the arbiter in that competition. Later on, Elder Tianhuo acknowledged Ye Chenfeng as his master; he was extremely passionate about artifact refining and admired Ye Chenfeng’s skills in it from the bottom of his heart.
But just as Ye Chenfeng was about to step onto the stairs leading to the Ye Gate, the voices of Old White Wu Fengxian and Old Black Jiang Yuntian suddenly rang in Ye Chenfeng’s mind: "Young man, hold on!"
Ye Chenfeng retracted his step and asked somewhat puzzledly in his mind: "Old White, Old Black, what are you making a fuss about?"
Old White Wu Fengxian replied: "Young man, there’s something wrong above the Ye Gate, I vaguely feel demonic qi. I’m afraid there’s a demonic cultivator there, and with considerable strength."
Old Black Jiang Yuntian also agreed and said: "Young man, if you walk up to the Ye Gate so boldly, even though you can hide in the Chaos Ring, you’ll alert the enemy."
Demonic cultivator?
Ye Chenfeng was slightly stunned. Did that mean there were people of the Demonic Path above the Ye Gate?
This made Ye Chenfeng’s brows knit tightly. When he was in Tianyun City, he had encountered a demonic cultivator, the Ghost-Faced Monk, and now there were demonic cultivators above the Ye Gate too?
Weren’t demonic cultivators supposed to hide in the Netherworld Ghost Domain? Generally, they don’t step out of the Netherworld Ghost Domain. The frequent encounters with demonic cultivators of late gave Ye Chenfeng a faint sense of foreboding.
"Little guy, currently there may be a Nirvana Realm demonic cultivator above the Ye Gate. You need to wait now, wait until nightfall, and then we’ll help you sneak into the Ye Gate to find out the current situation." Old White Wu Fengxian said.
Ye Chenfeng knew that Old White was absolutely right. If there were really Nirvana Realm demonic people above the Ye Gate, then if he directly walked up to the Ye Gate, not only wouldn’t he be able to figure out what was going on, but it might also make the situation above the Ye Gate even worse.
So, Ye Chenfeng hid nearby the Ye Gate, quietly waiting for night to fall.
...
At this moment.
Above the Ye Gate.
In a gloomy room.
An elderly man, dressed in rags and covered in wounds, had his hands and feet bound by thick iron chains, his body fixed to a pillar.
If Ye Chenfeng were here, he would immediately recognize this old man as Elder Tianhuo.
Elder Tianhuo’s acupoints were sealed, and he couldn’t muster even a trace of spiritual energy within his body. Moreover, he had suffered severe internal injuries, and his breathing through his nose was intermittent, making him look to be at the brink of death.
And on a chair not far in front of Elder Tianhuo sat two decrepit-looking old men.
One of them, wearing a black long robe, with sparse white hair on his head and a face full of wrinkles, occasionally had a sinister look flash in his eyes. His name was Jiang Qishi, a patriarch of the Blood Refinement Sect from the Demonic Path Sect, with a strength at the late stage of Nirvana Realm first level.
The other, with a blind left eye, a face full of age spots, and only a few teeth when opening his mouth, was also a patriarch of the Blood Refinement Sect, named Zhong Yonian, with a strength at the Peak of the Nirvana Realm first level.
The news of the Demon Emperor Xue Tian’s impending resurgence was already known to many of the Demonic Path Sects in the Netherworld Ghost Domain, but it had not yet reached the ears of the Orthodox Sects.
The news of the Demon Emperor Xue Tian and his ten Demon Generals about to awaken undoubtedly gave the Demonic Path Sects a strong boost of confidence.
Since the battle between the Righteous Path and the Demonic Path over three hundred years ago, the Demonic Path Sects had retreated into the Netherworld Ghost Domain.
This retreat lasted over three hundred years, and many Demonic Path Sects had long been eager to move.
The Blood Refinement Sect was among the most restless sects.
Back in the day, during the war between the Demonic Path and the Righteous Path, the Demonic Path Sects retreated into the Netherworld Ghost Domain, and many Demonic Path Sects didn’t have time to take all their sect’s treasures with them. They then buried their treasures in hidden places, intending to reclaim them after the resurgence of the Demonic Path Sects.
It so happened that beneath the Ye Gate, treasures from a Demonic Path Sect were buried.
That Demonic Path Sect was very close to the Blood Refinement Sect, but unfortunately, it didn’t have time to retreat into the Netherworld Ghost Domain and was wiped out by the Orthodox Sects.
The patriarch of the Blood Refinement Sect knew the buried location of that Demonic Path Sect’s treasures.
Before the Ye Gate was established, this place was White Snow Villa, which Ye Chenfeng had annexed, and White Snow Villa was merely a Sect established within the last hundred years.
Since Demon Emperor Xue Tian was about to awaken.
So, the two patriarchs of the Blood Refinement Sect naturally couldn’t hold back any longer. They secretly left the Netherworld Ghost Domain intending to unearth the treasures buried beneath the Ye Gate.
The current Ye Gate was completely occupied by the Blood Refinement Sect.
Of course, many Demonic Path Sects in the Netherworld Ghost Domain were now restlessly eager to move, and a storm capable of sweeping across the entire Earth Profound Realm was brewing.
The patriarch of the Blood Refinement Sect, Jiang Qishi, said, "The secret chamber beneath this Sect should almost be dug through, right? Once it is, we can send these people all on their way."
The other patriarch of the Blood Refinement Sect, Zhong Yonian, said, "Indeed, it’s been nearly a month of digging. Once Demon Emperor Xue Tian awakens, the resurgence of our Demonic Path is just around the corner."
"It should let the Orthodox Sects taste the feeling of staying in the Netherworld Ghost Domain, hahaha——"
It was clear that the people from the Blood Refinement Sect had not yet started a massacre at the Ye Gate, instead using the disciples of the Ye Gate as laborers to help them dig up the treasures buried underground.
