Chapter 573: Chapter 406 Yang Transformation Ambush, Daoist Appears (Not to be Missed)_2

“Brother Chen need not be so courteous; the little help I can offer is all I can do,” Ye Chenbai said solemnly.

“That’s more than enough,” Chen Yuan replied.

“Brother Chen, you must be careful in your upcoming endeavors. Yagyu Takeo and Yagyu Shinichi, known as the Yagyu Double Blades, were the most outstanding disciples of their generation in the Yagyu Family,

and now that you have rid of them all, the Yagyu Family will not likely let things rest.” Ye Chenbai’s expression was grave, as he was puzzled.

Why did Chen Yuan have to kill Yagyu Takeo and create mortal enmity with the Yagyu Family? Was he really unafraid of any retaliation, or was the force behind him truly that strong?

“It’s fine, Chen Yuan has everything under control,” he said confidently.

He had enough enemies and was not afraid to have one more in the Yagyu Family. Moreover, without a formidable enemy as a rival, the motivation for him to enhance his strength wouldn’t be as strong.

All these forces would eventually become stepping stones, witnessing his rise to the pinnacle, step by step!

Seeing Chen Yuan’s composure, Ye Chenbai breathed a sigh of relief and refrained from asking further questions. As long as the other party could handle it, that was good enough. He couldn’t help much with the rest.

“Brother Chen, didn’t you say you had something to ask Brother Ye just now?” Shangguan Yu timely interjected, shifting the topic. Discussions of enemies inevitably cast a somber air.

“Oh? Brother Chen has a question?” Ye Chenbai raised an eyebrow.

Chen Yuan’s eyes twinkled, and he smiled:

“Indeed, there’s a small matter I’d like to inquire about with Brother Ye.”

“Please feel free to ask, Brother Chen. Thanks to your blessing, my position in the Ascending Immortal Tower has been promoted, and I have gained much more authority. If it’s within my capabilities, I’ll undoubtedly satisfy your expectations,” Ye Chenbai assured him.

Chen Yuan nodded and then said:

“I would like to know if there is a place called Dragon Lock River near the East Sea?”

“Dragon Lock River?” Upon hearing this unfamiliar name from Chen Yuan, Zhang Xuan, Shangguan Yu, and even Ye Chenbai all looked puzzled, wondering about the nature of this place and why

the other party was asking about it.

“Brother Ye, have you not heard of it?”

“Indeed, it sounds unfamiliar. Are you certain it’s in the East Sea?”

“Certain.”

Chen Yuan nodded precisely and also let out a sigh of relief. Since even Ye Chenbai, a native of the East Sea, did not know of this place, it seemed that it really was unknown to the public,

a remote location indeed.

And this suited his intentions perfectly. He estimated that the disturbance of his upcoming Core Formation might be as significant as Zuo Chengzong’s had been, and if possible,

he naturally preferred to keep a low profile.

Furthermore, he was planning an ambush there—if the people from the Qingyun Sword Sect and the Yun Family dared to make a move against him, that place would become their final resting place, their graves.

Shangguan Yu’s eyes suddenly narrowed, struck by the notion—could it be that Chen Yuan was preparing for a breakthrough?

He had always been very curious about the incident involving the Nameless Heavenly Stele at Emei Mountain and suspected Chen Yuan’s involvement when the stele was destroyed shortly after Chen Yuan expressed a desire to observe it.

Even though Chen Yuan denied it, Shangguan Yu still felt that the destruction of the stele had something to do with him.

“Okay, then I’ll have someone look into it,” said Ye Chenbai without asking more questions. He gave a nod and instructed a Martial Artist of the Ascending Immortal Tower, who immediately turned and departed.

About a quarter of an hour later, the Martial Artist returned with a folded piece of paper, respectfully handing it to Ye Chenbai who, without a glance, passed it to Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan unfolded the paper to find some detailed descriptions.

The place he referred to as Dragon Lock River, also known as Dragon Locking Mountain, was not located on the mainland near Martial Emperor City but was an island at sea, a considerable distance of more than two hundred li away from Martial Emperor City.

The nearest point of land from any other place off the coast was still dozens of li away.

The origin of this place was quite legendary. According to legend, before Great Chu was founded, a vast campaign was waged in the East Sea, resulting in a major battle with the powerful demon clans within the sea.

Legend has it that this battle was so fierce that it shattered mountains, reversed the flow of the sea, and the area previously considered Dragon Locking Mountain was actually located on the edge of the continent, but the surrounding hundred li of land were demolished.

This was what led to the formation of an island in that place.

It was named so because the blood of an East Sea Demon Dragon dyed the whole mountain red, hence the name. It was not just known by Dragon Lock River but also had names like Dragon Blood Mountain, Dragon Suppression Mountain, Fulong River, and so on.

Dragon Lock River was merely one of the names.

Of course, this was just an unfathomable legend, as it had been nearly a thousand years since the founding of Great Chu.

Time moves on, eras change, and things and people alter beyond recognition.

Because of this legend, a few hundred years ago it was said that many people went there looking for treasures. But over time, the place was neglected because it was simply a desolate series of hills and mountains.

Lacking even grass or trees, living creatures were very scarce, and only in recent years has there been a faint trace of life. In earlier times, even fishermen dared not approach it,

feeling the island was too eerie and entirely crimson.

Moreover, as the Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy was thin there and the location was quite remote, only fishermen occasionally stopped to rest now, and the origin of the island’s reddish hue had already been discovered to be

a type of mineral vein called red iron ore, combined with the prevalence of red coral nearby, which gave the appearance of a reddish hue when viewed from a distance.

Additionally, red iron ore was of low value and not worth mining, so almost no Martial Artist had taken possession of the area.

After reading the information, Chen Yuan’s eyes reflected a hint of satisfaction—it perfectly matched his expectations.
