Chapter 194: Chapter 193: Leaving the Team

How shameless can Fatty be for the sake of primeval stones?

First, he dragged his teacher Mei Yu and the senior instructor of the Star Martial System, Hu Wenhui, into the mess, even implicating Elder Bai Mei.

He even sold himself for a hundred low-grade primeval stones. If Fatty were right in front of him now, Ye Chen felt he would be unable to resist stabbing him!

Thinking of Fatty.

Ye Chen’s heart felt slightly less heavy.

Ouyang Xiaoling said, “Ye Chen, I was going to settle this score with you, but I’ve changed my mind. As long as you follow Instructor Mei’s arrangements, I won’t hold your previous attack on me against you.”

Ye Chen smiled and nodded.

Ouyang Xiaoling said nothing further, finding a spot near Ye Chen to sit down and cultivate.

Ye Chen also closed his eyes, seemingly cultivating with his techniques, but in reality, his mind was spinning rapidly!

There was no need to guess how the Demon Race learned he killed Motuo.

The key is Cangxing Martial Arts Academy’s response!

Ye Chen didn’t interact much with Ouyang Shang, but he was very aware of how terrifying Ouyang Shang’s methods were.

Regarding the situation here, Ouyang Shang would definitely not sit idly by!

Also.

Vice President He Dong of the Star Martial System had Hu Wenhui specifically bring him here, not because of Mei Yu’s presence. Although Mei Yu had some decent spirit techniques, her strength wasn’t very strong.

Therefore.

He Dong probably had other arrangements here!

These big figures at the Cangxing Martial Arts Academy were always deep and hidden players.

Ye Chen knew nothing about their arrangements, but he could basically be sure they were watching from the shadows.

The biggest goal for Ye Chen entering the Demon Suppression Valley this time was to uncover the evidence of Zhou Chengyun’s conspiracy against him.

But he knew very well that he couldn’t find out anything on his own.

So, he left finding clues to those at Cangxing Martial Arts Academy secretly watching the situation.

What he needed to do now was to force Zhou Chengyun to make moves again and again. As long as Zhou Chengyun acted enough times, no matter how meticulous his arrangements, there would be flaws and mistakes!

This also strengthened Ye Chen’s resolve to leave the team.

First, so as not to bring trouble to others.

Second, only in this way could Zhou Chengyun have more opportunities to make a move, making it easier for the academy people to collect clues in secret!

After making up his mind.

Ye Chen calmed his mind, collected his thoughts, and began operating the Original Truth Solution, disintegrating power, and combining it with the Spirit Martial Creation Technique for Spirit Martial Unity!

After all, he had just broken through to the Elemental Wheel Realm and not long ago reached the Tier Three Ultimate Celestial Seal Spirit Master level. The breakthrough in cultivation wouldn’t show results in a short time.

Spirit Martial Unity is most suitable for now.

……

Not far from where Ye Chen was.

A Dragon Guard Squad was stationed.

Centurion Ren Yong arrived here shortly and called the squad leader Zhang Tao into the military tent, then said nothing, doing nothing, just watching Zhang Tao.

Zhang Tao, under Ren Yong’s imposing manner, was trembling, his face deathly pale.

A moment later.

A general walked into the tent, approached Ren Yong, and extended a hand with a rolled-up piece of paper in his palm.

Ren Yong took the paper and unrolled it.

The paper was filled with strange symbols.

Ren Yong snorted coldly, shouting, “Zhang Tao, what is this!”

“General Ren… this…”

Before Zhang Tao could finish, Ren Yong interrupted, “Let me help you. This is a secret parchment used by the Northwest Border Army a hundred years ago for transmitting orders. About eighty years ago, after it was deciphered by an enemy nation, it was no longer used.

I happen to know these symbols.

The meaning of the paper is that within an hour, a squad of the Demon Race will pass through the area you’re responsible for, instructing you to lead your troops back a distance, allowing the Demon Race passage!”

Zhang Tao was drenched in cold sweat, fell to his knees with a thud, trembling, crying out, “General Ren, I’m innocent… I don’t even know what this secret letter is about. Someone must be deliberately framing me… General Ren, please believe me, I am loyal to the Dragon Guard, loyal to the Great Zhou Dynasty…”

“Someone is framing you?” Ren Yong snorted coldly, saying, “Your original area of responsibility should have been ten miles south of here, but you led your troops here without orders. Coincidentally, about half an hour ago, the area you were responsible for indeed had a squad of the Demon Race passing through.

Is this also someone framing you?

Guards, take Zhang Tao away!”

Following Ren Yong’s order, someone immediately entered to take Zhang Tao away.

Inside the tent, the general who had brought the paper said, “General, why not execute Zhang Tao directly?! This man has the audacity to let the Demon Race pass; executing his entire family wouldn’t be excessive!”

Ren Yong shook his head, saying, “Keep him for now, then arrange for trusted people to lead this squad of Zhang Tao’s to withdraw according to the instructions in this secret parchment, allowing the Demon Race to pass!”

“General, are you planning to continue investigating?”

Ren Yong snorted coldly, saying, “I want to see how many bastards we can drag out this time!”

Previously, Ren Yong never thought there would be problems with the Dragon Guard.

But after meeting with Deputy Director He Dong of Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, he secretly watched the area where Ye Chen was and immediately noticed something amiss.

“General… should we report this to Vice Commander Liu?”

Ren Yong shook his head, saying, “No need, do everything as I say. If anything goes wrong, I will take responsibility!”

He knew exactly what he was doing.

Allowing the Demon Race passage.

That squad of the Demon Race is coming to kill Ye Chen!

Since Ren Yong dared to do this, he had the confidence to control the situation!

As for Vice Commander Liu Chuantian of the Dragon Guard… Ren Yong didn’t trust him, because Liu Chuantian’s ancestors were the ones who, a hundred years ago, designed the Northwest Border Army’s secret transmission system!

He suspected Vice Commander Liu Chuantian might be one of the sources of the problem!

Of course, this alone wasn’t enough to serve as evidence!

After all, although this transmission method was no longer in use, many people still knew about it.

……

In the area where Ye Chen and others were.

Everyone was sitting cross-legged, cultivating and meditating.

Everyone knew clearly that a fierce battle could erupt at any time, and being in a slightly better state could increase their chances of survival!

In this atmosphere, the air felt extremely heavy.

Ye Chen slowly opened his eyes.

The integration of spiritual power with sword essence and Qi blood power had improved from two-tenths to three-tenths.

The increase in combat power was considerable.

Ye Chen looked down at the Celestial Mark Sword placed on his knees, his gaze clear, softly saying, “Celestial Mark, it’s all thanks to you that I’ve been able to fight to the end.”

The sword had a spirit.

The sword spirit of the Celestial Mark Sword had long been nurtured and refined by Ye Chen through the Sword Control Celestial Scripture, enabling it to sense Ye Chen’s intentions.

Thus, the blade lightly quivered, seemingly responding to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen gripped the sword hilt with his right hand.

Then, he stood up, exerting force with his legs, launching himself into the air, his black hair flowing, an invincible aura erupting as he laughed loudly, “Motuo, that waste, was killed by me. If anyone wants to avenge Motuo, then bring it on!”

As the words fell.

Ye Chen’s figure flew off into the distance.

Immediately.

From all directions, thick Demonic Qi shot up to the sky, and roars from the Demon Race erupted as a group of Demon Race members burst forth, pursuing Ye Chen.

“Ye Chen, come back!”

The startled Instructor Mei Yu from the Star Martial System shouted loudly.

Ye Chen noticed the arrival of the Demon Race before her, then, Ye Chen’s actions took Mei Yu by surprise!

Mei Yu knew Ye Chen wanted to lure away a large number of the Demon Race, not to bring them trouble. She wanted to stop Ye Chen, but it was too late.

Besides the large number of the Demon Race chasing after Ye Chen.

Another batch of the Demon Race had already surrounded Mei Yu and her group!

Mei Yu’s expression was extremely ugly as she shouted, “Kill!”
