Chapter 393: Chapter 395: Conflict on the Ship

“It’s you?” Ye Qingchen seemed incredulous.

The person wasn’t just anyone else.

It turned out to be Jiang Churan, who had left a letter and then left Taotian Palace.

Jiang Churan was also full of surprise, clearly not expecting to encounter an old friend here. She hurriedly invited Ye Qingchen and Su Muzhe onto the ship and asked about the events. Ye Qingchen hesitated for a moment and didn’t reveal the true purpose of coming to the Western Domain, only saying he came with an elder for some affairs.

It wasn’t that he intended to conceal it; after all, the Celestial God Sect was of great importance, and he didn’t want to involve Jiang Churan.

“I see!”

Jiang Churan nodded slightly without any doubt.

“How did you end up here? These ships are…” Ye Qingchen was also a bit surprised, with these ships sailing in the gale winds, weren’t they afraid of accidents?

“We came specifically to hunt down a beast. The gale winds had disrupted us for several days, and now that they’ve subsided, we traced it here,” Jiang Churan explained.

Only then did Ye Qingchen understand the root of the matter.

It turns out.

Jiang Churan comes from the Jiang Family in the Western Domain, a prestigious family dealing in beast-related businesses. This expedition was specifically to hunt a Dragon Turtle, and as the direct daughter of the Jiang Family, Jiang Churan naturally accompanied the voyage.

“Sorry, it wasn’t my intention to hide it from you…” Jiang Churan said, with a look of guilt, thinking about all those things she never explained to Ye Qingchen back in Taotian Palace.

“No need to be concerned!”

Ye Qingchen responded quite openly, after all, everyone has their own secrets.

“Churan, just what is this boy, that you need to apologize to him?” At this moment, a mocking voice came from the cabin, “He can’t even measure himself up in a pool of water! Being your friend is already the luck of a lifetime for him!”

Ye Qingchen looked up to see another young man about the same age as Jiang Churan beside her, dressed in splendid clothes with a remarkable aura, evidently having reached the Celestial Saint level too.

“Zhao Qinglong, what are you saying?” Jiang Churan frowned and reprimanded aloud, “If you keep speaking like this to my friend, don’t blame me for being impolite!”

“Is this the friend you made in the Eastern Domain?”

Zhao Qinglong clicked his tongue, scanning Ye Qingchen with contempt and disregard, constantly shaking his head,

“When Jiang Churan didn’t want to return from the Eastern Domain, I thought it was some outstanding genius from the Eastern Domain. Didn’t expect it was just this kind of little brat. His Qi is unstable, steps faltering; in my view, just so-so!”

The more he spoke, the more sarcastic his gaze became toward Ye Qingchen. In his eyes, Ye Qingchen’s cultivation wasn’t even his own, he knew several methods himself, where one could reach Celestial Saint level by consuming pills or relying on beast cores.

But these methods rely on external forces, even if one reaches Celestial Saint, they would lack future potential, and only those with no hope of advancement would use such means.

As he shook his head, he continued:

“I wonder where this brat got the courage to step into the Western Domain? If it weren’t for our encounter, you might have already been fish food by now!”

“What did you say?”

“If you said these things in the Eastern Domain, I would’ve broken your legs already!” Su Muzhe said coldly.

It should be known.

For seven days and nights in the gale, Ye Qingchen single-handedly withstood ninety percent; if not, he wouldn’t be so exhausted.

Moreover.

Ye Qingchen was known as the Supreme Celestial Saint in the Eastern Domain; how could he be humiliated like this?

“Is that so? Break my legs?” Zhao Qinglong said, ice cold eyes. “Dare to threaten me? Believe it or not, I’ll break your limbs right now and throw you off the ship to feed fish?”

As the words fell.

Suddenly, ten tall men stepped forward from behind Zhao Qinglong. These men, wearing battle gear, holding steel spears, had vicious expressions in their eyes. At the same time, another black-robed elder stepped forward behind Zhao Qinglong, his aura vast like a mountain.

“Are you looking for trouble?”

Ye Qingchen narrowed his eyes.

Since boarding the ship, this young man had been sneering non-stop, seeming to have great enmity toward him.

“That’s right! I’m indeed looking for trouble!” Zhao Qinglong sneered, “If you kneel now, maybe I’ll change my mind, otherwise don’t blame me for being rude!”

“What if I refuse?” Ye Qingchen’s voice turned cold.

“If you refuse, then we’ll beat you until you agree!” Zhao Qinglong waved his hand, and the black-robed elder with vast aura took a step forward.

That step seemed to shrink the ground to inches, almost instantly reaching Ye Qingchen, and his right hand suddenly grasped forward.

“You dare?”

Su Muzhe had prepared, with hands forming a circle, striking like a Yellow Turban Warrior wielding a warhammer.

A loud bang resounded as the two exchanged blows and separated.

Violent Qi Force gushed, leaving everyone tumbling.

“Celestial Saint Sixth Layer?”

Su Muzhe frowned.

Previously, he wouldn’t have regarded a Celestial Saint Sixth Layer cultivator seriously, but due to resisting the gale, his True Qi hadn’t recovered, making it a bit troubling.

“Again!”

The black-robed elder sneered, making a feint to pounce.

Meanwhile, the ten stout men let out a roar, preparing to rush Ye Qingchen.

“Stop!” Jiang Churan could no longer bear it, directly turned to Zhao Qinglong, “If you dare cause trouble again, immediately get off the ship.”

Having said that, without waiting for a response, pulled Ye Qingchen towards the other side of the deck.

Ye Qingchen frowned, letting Jiang Churan lead him, until they reached the end of the deck.

“Damn, a piece of trash from the Eastern Domain dares to get so close to Jiang Churan! Damn it!”

The black-robed elder said coldly. “Young master, I see that Jiang Churan has a fondness for this brat. If he succeeds, all our plans may be in vain!”

Zhao Qinglong clenched his fists, eyes filled with burning jealousy and a fierce killing intent.

It should be known.

He always regarded Jiang Churan as his own possession.

After all, Jiang Family only had this one daughter, and whoever marries Jiang Churan would control the entire Jiang Family. In the Western Domain, countless people sought to pursue Jiang Churan, and he had painstakingly found out she went out to sea, so he followed.

How could he allow a Cheng Yaojin to appear out of nowhere?

“Young master, that brat is not a worry, but the elder beside him is troublesome, able to take my punch!” The black-robed elder glanced disdainfully at Ye Qingchen, but his gaze held slight trepidation when looking at Su Muzhe.

“That’s simple!” Zhao Qinglong smiled coldly, “Killing him is as easy as turning a hand! I have a plan, utterly unnoticeable to kill him!”

…

Jiang Churan led Ye Qingchen to the bow of the ship and then stopped.

“Ye Qingchen, I’m sorry, I didn’t expect it to turn out like this!” Jiang Churan said apologetically.

“No worries, it’s not related to you.” Ye Qingchen smiled, shaking his head, “I can certainly understand.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Churan nodded immediately, not wanting a rift with Ye Qingchen because of Zhao Qinglong. Thinking of this, she quickly added, “That Zhao Qinglong is treacherous, since you confronted him, he might still find opportunities against you.”

“Is that so?”

Ye Qingchen gave a faint smile, a cold light flashing in his eyes, “If he dares to come, he should consider how to withstand my wrath!”
