Ye Chen Enters the Seventh Realm, the Yan Family Comes Calling, and the Lion King's Troubles

Ye Chen had no idea that everything about him had already been arranged by the system.

If not for this accidental turn of events, which had caused the system to give him Ryūjin Jakka first,

then...

the system would have already been longing to see the dark-blue Great Buddha for quite some time.

Recently, Ye Chen had been feeling extremely tired.

He suddenly felt that dull, monotonous cultivation was not so bad after all.

He had stayed in the school villa for more than half a month.

It was only after Ye Chen entered the Seventh Realm that Zhang Daosheng finally saw him again.

Early that morning, Ye Chen arrived at Old Zhang's office and waited.

When Zhang Daosheng saw Ye Chen, his normally unreadable expression instantly broke into a smile.

"Kid Ye, did you break through?"

Zhang Daosheng was growing fonder and fonder of Ye Chen. After all, this fellow cultivated as if he had no regard for his life.

Apart from mealtimes, he spent every other moment cultivating.

"Hehe, it's been half a month, and I only reached the Seventh Realm. What can I do? With poor talent, I can only make up for it with hard work." Ye Chen snatched the bread from Zhang Daosheng's hand and began munching on it.

Zhang Daosheng had long grown used to Ye Chen's habit of casually taking things. After all, every time this fellow came by, he took away plenty of stuff.

"I've used up the Spirit Stones." Ye Chen wolfed down the bread and mumbled.

As a result, he choked because he was talking while eating.

Zhang Daosheng helplessly handed Ye Chen the milk in his hand as well.

"You used them all up in half a month?" Zhang Daosheng was somewhat surprised. He had given Ye Chen ten thousand of them before.

Ye Chen took a sip of milk and caught his breath. "Yeah. But I didn't come to ask you for Spirit Stones this time. I want to find a saber technique, preferably one that includes some basic moves."

As he spoke, Ye Chen turned sideways and showed Zhang Daosheng the long saber hanging at his waist.

"Is that the weapon you obtained in the Secret Realm?" Zhang Daosheng remembered that Ye Chen had kept this long saber hanging at his waist ever since returning from the Secret Realm.

Ye Chen did not deny it. He directly said that it had come from the Secret Realm, conveniently avoiding the need to explain where the long saber had come from.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. You went into a Snow and Ice Secret Realm and actually came out with a Flame Element long saber? Could it be that the Ice Spirit Stone was used to suppress this long saber?" Zhang Daosheng narrowed his eyes and carefully examined the long saber at Ye Chen's waist.

"Old Zhang, it has a name. It's called Ryūjin Jakka." Ye Chen swallowed the last bite of bread and explained.

When Ye Chen finished saying its name, the long saber seemed to tremble along with him.

Zhang Daosheng noticed it too and marveled inwardly. "Ryūjin Jakka? That's a good name."

"That's good, too. As an auxiliary-type cultivator, you've now gained the support of a Flame Element weapon. At least you'll have the ability to protect yourself in the future."

Zhang Daosheng was also quite happy that Ye Chen had obtained this long saber.

However, at that moment, no one knew that in a certain Snow and Ice Secret Realm,

beneath the altar that held the Ice Spirit Stones,

a staff lay there in lonely misery as it sank into the seabed.

Ice Spirit: I'm the fucking treasure of this Secret Realm! Those Spirit Stones are only nourishing me!!!

And so, by a twist of fate, everyone came to believe that the treasures in the Secret Realm were the Ice Spirit Stone and the long saber Ye Chen had obtained.

Even Lan Lengshuang thought so. After all, she had been unconscious at the time.

"By the way, people from the Kyoto Yan Family came a few days ago." Zhang Daosheng's expression suddenly changed.

Yan Feng had been missing in Zanghai City for nearly ten days. On the very day Yan Feng died in the Secret Realm,

all of Yan Feng's servants had also been slaughtered and dealt with by the Lan Family.

Thus, the Yan Family currently only knew that Yan Feng had come to Zanghai City and entered the Lan Family.

Fortunately, the Lan Family had a Lion King of the Bright Moon Realm guarding it. Otherwise, the Lan Family might have been wiped off the map of Zanghai City.

"Who did the Yan Family send?" Ye Chen's expression also grew solemn. This was no joke.

Zhang Daosheng and Lan Batian had already explained the Yan Family's strength to him in detail.

Although he was merely a second young master with unimpressive talent, he was still a member of the Yan Family.

"Two elders of the Myriad Stars Realm." As Zhang Daosheng spoke, his hand grew slick with sweat.

Dong Shizhang had already made the three of them look rather disheveled. Now there were two Myriad Stars Realm experts.

If not for the Lion King...

The consequences were simply unimaginable.

At the same time, the Yan Family had already spent several days investigating in Zanghai City, but everyone they encountered said they had never seen the so-called Yan Feng.

In other words, after Yan Feng entered the Lan Family that day, he had never come out again!

"Seventh Brother, there's no need to investigate this matter any further, is there?" an old man asked with a frown.

The man addressed as Seventh Brother nodded. "We can basically conclude that the second young master died in the Lan Family."

These two were the Yan Family's Seventh and Eighth Elders. Both were in the Myriad Stars Realm, and their strength was not to be underestimated.

"But what can you do? The Lan Family has that Lion King of the Bright Moon Realm guarding it..." Yan Zhanbai was extremely troubled.

After all, before he came, he had reported to the family head that he and Yan Zhanhei would definitely find the second young master's whereabouts—alive, he had to see the man; dead, he had to see the corpse.

Hearing Yan Zhanbai's words, Yan Zhanhei's frown did not ease. "If it really comes to that, we can only report to the family head and have someone of the Bright Moon Realm sent here."

Yan Zhanbai nodded.

"That's the only way."

After all, whenever the Lion King was around, every time they were about to ask something crucial, he would appear from time to time and startle the two of them.

A storm was brewing in Zanghai City.

It seemed that Ye Chen's hoped-for simple life was out of the question.

The Yan Family's arrival had been far too sudden. Yan Feng's death... would not end peacefully.

As for the Westwind Lion King, he was also frowning as he looked toward the Lianhai Mountains.

"The time is getting closer and closer... I hope it won't affect Zanghai City."

The Westwind Lion King had originally been rather indifferent, since he had not intended to protect Zanghai City. But things were different now.

The changes occurring in the Lianhai Mountains would inevitably affect Zanghai City's safety...

When that thing awakened, even the Sea Beasts would gather in the Lianhai Mountains.

That Human Race member had said back then that he would return a hundred years later to take that thing's life. Calculating the time now, there were only about half a month left.

Then there was the current situation inside Zanghai City. The Yan Family had arrived with overwhelming force, and it would probably be impossible to resolve the matter in a short time.

If that happened, one wave would barely settle before another rose. Could Zanghai City really withstand it?

The Yan Family was no benevolent lot, and its strength was formidable.

"Sigh, Kid Ye, hurry up and grow. I hope your Great Buddha can protect Zanghai City when the time comes."

Ye Chen, who was taking a walk on campus, suddenly sneezed.

"Which beauty is thinking about me? Could it be that girl Lan Lengshuang?"

After Ye Chen said this, he sneezed again. He immediately shook his head. "No! Two sneezes means it must be Little Xi!"

However, on the front line of a certain battlefield, two women stared at Ye Chen in the mirror, speechless.

"Bingqing, Ye Chen is way too entertaining, isn't he?" Lin Jing burst out laughing.

Zhang Bingqing smiled as well. "He's quite an entertaining little brother."
