Battle Through the Heavens: The Alchemist Starting from the Ye Family

Page 164

Although this scene seemed to have appeared in the original work, Ye Chen was very puzzled. Just based on the title of the young sect master of the Tianming Sect, how could Chen Tiannan dare to make trouble in Shengdan City? It seemed a bit unreasonable.

"You've got quite the nerve, shouting and clamoring for war in Saint Dan City... But judging by your words, you don't seem to have the ability."

"Young Master, you have quite the air of authority. No matter what, the Xuanming Sect is one of the three lower sects of my Tianming Sect. If we can't even avenge the son of the sect leader, who will believe in my Tianming Sect in the future?" As soon as Ye Chen finished speaking, the figure he was paying attention to slowly walked out from behind Chen Tiannan and smiled faintly.

Having already guessed their identities, Ye Chen shook his head slightly, having no desire to argue with this group, and said directly, "I don't care who you are from the Heavenly Nether Sect, even if you summon the Heavenly Nether Old Demon, you will not be allowed to act recklessly in this Holy Pill City!"

After saying that, Ye Chen flicked his hand and prepared to leave with Xiao Yan.

Chapter 371 Rescue Operation

Ye Chen's dismissive attitude instantly enraged Yi Chen.

However, he did not lash out. After all, even anger could not make him lose his mind. Otherwise, such a brainless brute could not have stood out in a dog-eat-dog place like the Heavenly Nether Sect.

The intent to kill will bring him to his senses.

"Heh, Young Master, the Pill Tower and the Soul Palace have been at odds for years, while my Heavenly Nether Sect has always maintained neutrality..."

"If some things aren't handled well, and some of our secret allies end up on the other side, that wouldn't be a good thing for the Pill Tower either," Yi Chen chuckled softly.

"Noisy!"

Yi Chen's words enraged Ye Chen, who turned around abruptly. A terrifying aura instantly suppressed the entire scene, and a gigantic, invisible hand shot out fiercely...

"Oh no, get out of the way!" Chen Tiannan immediately sensed something was wrong and shouted a warning.

At the same time, he also struck out with a palm, and terrifying battle qi immediately surged forth...

"Hehe, I'd like to see just how capable the young master of the renowned Pill Tower in Zhongzhou really is..." A bloodthirsty glint flashed in Yi Chen's eyes. He didn't heed Chen Tiannan's words to dodge, but instead met him with the same move.

"Bloodthirsty Bone-Melting Hand!"

With a cold shout, Yi Chen unleashed an extremely terrifying suction force from his palm. Under this suction force, the blood within the bodies of those who were rapidly retreating suddenly became turbulent, as if it were about to burst forth from their bodies…

"Is this the Heavenly Nether Sect's technique? It's truly bizarre!" Many people retreated frantically, filled with shock and anger.

Ye Chen watched their actions and gave a cold smile.

You two dare to take my soul-binding handprint head-on? You're just asking for trouble!

In the original novel, it was precisely Yi Chen's attitude that made Elder Qiu Ling unable to make a decision for a time.

There was nothing he could do about it. After all, although Qiu Ling was the head of the eight elders, he couldn't decide the choice of the Pill Tower, which was why he hesitated...

But Ye Chen is different now.

Putting aside his current status and the position of the Pill Tower, the Heavenly Nether Sect alone is absolutely not going to become an ally in Ye Chen's plans.

There's no other way. Compared to a group of stunningly beautiful women, it's better to get rid of a bunch of bloodthirsty executioners. Otherwise, you might not be able to withstand their stabbings in the back...

boom!

A loud bang echoed through the air, a gust of wind swept across the entire area, and then everyone saw that the once empty space had developed layers of wrinkles, and finally cracked open with dark fissures.

This scene terrified everyone around, while Chen Tiannan and Yi Chen on the other side secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hoo... This Ye Chen is indeed terrifying. His casual strike has such power!" Yi Chen thought to himself.

Judging from this, the opponent's strength is probably even greater than that of Zhichen Tiannan!

Just as he was secretly assessing Ye Chen's strength, he suddenly felt a "buzz" in his mind, followed by a soul-tearing pain from the depths of his brain...

"Humph!"

With a muffled groan, Yi Chen felt his vision instantly filled with red.

What he didn't know was that, to outsiders, Yi Chen's condition was even more terrifying at this moment. His face was pale, blood was flowing from his seven orifices, and he looked like he was about to die.

"Young Sect Master?!" Chen Tiannan was shocked and quickly grabbed Yi Chen's arm. Then he looked at Ye Chen with a look of shock and anger.

"You! Ye Chen,"

Do you want to start a war with the Heavenly Nether Sect?!

"Hmph! You've got quite the nerve to start a war. Don't even mention just teaching him a lesson. Even if I were to kill him right now, do you think that old demon Tianming would dare to turn against my Pill Tower?"

"roll!"

"you……"

Seeing Ye Chen's eyes turn cold, Chen Tiannan felt a chill in his heart and quickly swallowed his words. Then, he led Yi Chen away from Saint Pill City.

Seeing that the excitement had died down, the people who had gathered dispersed.

However, this incident has given many people a deeper understanding of Danta, the young guild leader.

Of course, this was something Ye Chen himself was happy to see.

"Thank you very much, Brother Ye." Xiao Yan looked at Ye Chen with some gratitude.

If it weren't for him intervening, I really wouldn't have been able to get away today...

"Hehe, there's no need. This is, after all, the territory of the Pill Tower. If we let a Xuanming Sect member act recklessly here, wouldn't that be a slap in the face to the Pill Tower?"

Of course, even so, for the sake of the Pill Tower's reputation, Ye Chen could have chosen not to intervene and let the two sides settle things outside the city. In that case, Xiao Yan would still not be able to escape.

This is also the main reason why Xiao Yan, who is well aware of this, is so grateful to Ye Chen.

"Let's go. I didn't just come to help you out of this predicament. There's something very important I need to tell you..."

Besides Ye Chen and Xiao Yan, Xuan Kongzi and Xuan Yi were also present in the Pill Tower.

There was no other way; it concerned Yao Chen, and Xuan Yi certainly wouldn't stand idly by.

"The Soul Palace has many hidden branch palaces in the Central Continent, places that ordinary people would never be able to discover. In the northwest region of the Central Continent, there is a mountain range of dead souls. According to the information I have received, Senior Medicine Venerable should be imprisoned here!" Ye Chen said in a deep voice.

“The Mountain Range of the Dead…” Xuan Kongzi and the others frowned.

"I know about the Lost Souls Mountain Range; it can be considered a dangerous place in the Central Plains."

It is said that for some unknown reason, the air there is extremely cold, and the fog is so thick that it blocks out the sun; if one wanders around aimlessly, one will only get lost...

Moreover, this place is home to many powerful and bloodthirsty magical beasts, which would be quite troublesome even for a Dou Zong expert.

The Soul Palace likely chose this location to establish a branch temple precisely because of its seclusion.

"Mount of the Dead...Teacher..."

Xiao Yan muttered something softly to himself.

Now that he knows where Yao Lao is being held, he will brave any danger, even if it is a mountain of knives and a sea of ​​fire!

"I wonder how many Soul Hall experts are in this branch hall, and whether there are any Dou Zun experts?" Xiao Yan continued to ask.

Ye Chen's expression was grave as he said, "Even an ordinary branch of the Soul Hall will have a Hall Master and a Deputy Hall Master, both of whom are at least Dou Zun level experts."

Because of Yao Lao's influence, the defenses of the Lost Soul Mountain Range are extremely strong. There are at least five Dou Zun experts on the surface alone… As for whether a Soul Palace Heavenly Venerable will appear, that's hard to say…

"Five Dou Zun, Soul Palace Heavenly Venerable..." Xiao Yan's heart sank.

Fearing he might not be familiar with the hierarchy of Soul Hall Elders, Ye Chen explained, "You've probably seen those Soul Hall Protectors before, but Dou Zun powerhouses are collectively called Elders in the Soul Hall. Among them, the so-called Heavenly Venerable is the highest-ranking Elder..."

"As for their strength, let's put it this way: even with Venerable Feng's strength, there is still a considerable gap between him and the weakest Heavenly Venerable."

Chapter 372 Zi Yan's Mission

Upon hearing about the Soul Palace's strength, Xiao Yan fell silent instantly.

Even with the addition of Venerable Feng and the Starfall Pavilion, their combined strength would absolutely not be enough to breach even one of the Soul Palace's branch halls.

After glancing at Ye Chen and Xuan Kongzi, Xiao Yan wisely refrained from asking for anything.

He knew very well that the Pill Tower would never turn against the Soul Palace because of him or Yao Lao, so providing such detailed information was already the limit.

“Xiao Yan, you don’t need to worry too much. The Heavenly Venerable holds a very high position in the Soul Palace and doesn’t usually show himself easily…” Seeing Xiao Yan’s solemn expression, Xuan Yi couldn’t help but speak up.

"Five Dou Zun guarding Yao Chen is already an extremely high standard. If another Tian Zun were to come, it would be truly unbelievable..."

Xiao Yan took a deep breath, accepted the map of the Lost Soul Mountain Range from Ye Chen, and said to everyone, "Thank you both, seniors, and thank you Brother Ye as well. Leave the rest to me."

"What are you planning to do?" Ye Chen asked, looking at him.

“Such an operation definitely requires thorough preparation, so we should at least wait until Venerable Feng arrives to discuss the strategy before proceeding…” Xiao Yan said in a deep voice.

"That's a prudent approach," Ye Chen nodded.

The title of Venerable Wind was not only known to Ye Chen, but also to Xuan Kongzi and Xuan Yi, after all, the other party and Yao Chen were practically inseparable back then.

"That's fine too. With Venerable Feng's speed, he should be able to arrive within half a month. Before that, you can make some preparations..." Ye Chen said with a light laugh.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's eyes lit up.

"Thank you..."

Xiao Yan left with an unexpected surprise, while Xuan Kongzi looked at Ye Chen with a solemn expression.

"What, are you saying you're planning to help Xiao Yan out?"

Ye Chen smiled and nodded, not denying it.

Xuan Kongzi nodded silently, showing no objection, but asked, "How do you plan to help him?"

"Hehe, don't worry, teacher. I won't get involved in this kind of thing myself. At most, I'll introduce him to a few powerful experts. I think he can still have some influence with his title of eighth-grade alchemist."

Xuan Kongzi nodded. "That would be acceptable."

Hearing the conversation between the master and disciple, Xuan Yi suddenly said, "Refining an eighth-grade pill probably requires a lot of top-grade medicinal materials. You can tell Xiao Yan that he can come to me if he needs them."

Ye Chen glanced at Xuan Yi with some surprise, then smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, Uncle-Master, I will pass on your message..."

After bidding farewell to his teacher, Ye Chen left the Pill Tower and went directly to Xiao Yan's residence in Saint Pill City.

In fact, Xiao Yan achieved a commendable third place in this Pill Gathering, earning him a considerable reward from the Pill Tower, so he wasn't without any resources.

"To rescue Venerable Medicine from the Soul Palace branch, we'll probably need at least five Dou Zun experts. Even with Venerable Wind present, you'll still need to invite three or four more helpers..."

Inside the room, Ye Chen and Xiao Yan sat facing each other, and a solemn voice rang in Xiao Yan's ears.

“Four Dou Zun…” Xiao Yan smiled bitterly.

With his current network of connections, he probably couldn't even invite a Dou Zun.

Seeing this, Ye Chen chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I've already found two Dou Zun experts who have a grudge against the Soul Hall. Although their strength is only around three-star Dou Zun, they should be able to hold off those elders of the Soul Hall..."

Having made prior preparations, Ye Chen naturally arranged everything meticulously. Moreover, although the Soul Palace was powerful, they had no shortage of enemies.

"Thank you so much, Brother Ye!" Xiao Yan was deeply moved and looked at Ye Chen with excited eyes.

"Hehe, don't be like that, this isn't free..." Ye Chen chuckled and said.

"I've heard that Senior Medicine Venerable has a pill formula called Fuling Qingdan. I'd like to exchange it for two Four-Colored Thunder Pills. What do you think, Brother Xiao Yan?"

Xiao Yan pondered for a moment: "Fuling Qingdan? Is that the Fuling Qingdan that is said to be able to bring back the peak strength of those whose strength has deteriorated?"

Ye Chen nodded slightly.

Xiao Yan felt a stirring in his heart...

After all, putting aside Ye Chen's help, even two Grade 8 pills of Four-Colored Thunder Pills would be enough to exchange for the formula of the Poria Green Pill.

"Okay, I agree to the exchange!"

One minute later, Xiao Yan immediately agreed.

"This is the formula for Fuling Qingdan..."

After searching through his storage ring for a moment, Xiao Yan handed Ye Chen a scroll of cyan pill formulas.

Gently unrolling the scroll, Ye Chen roughly examined it with his soul power and confirmed that the pill formula was correct. He then smiled and put it away, before taking out two jade medicine bottles from his Star Emblem Ring...

"Hehe, this is the Four Yang Supreme Pill. It can increase the cultivation level by 1 star if taken by a powerhouse below the Five Star Dou Zun level. However, each person can only take one pill in their lifetime."

These words immediately made Xiao Yan's eyes light up. He hadn't expected that Ye Chen would take out such a precious pill that could directly improve one's cultivation!

“This… Brother Ye, given the value of the Poria Green Elixir formula, one Four Yang Supreme Elixir is enough…”

Although he was very reluctant, Xiao Yan finally suppressed his desire and pushed a medicine bottle back to Ye Chen.

"Hehe, take it. You need it more now..."

"This..." Xiao Yan hesitated for a long time, but finally couldn't help but say, "Alright, then thank you very much, Brother Ye."

Although he really wanted to refuse, Ye Chen was right; he desperately needed this kind of pill right now.
