Chapter 462 - 458: Who is the Killer?

Chapter 462: Chapter 458: Who is the Killer?

"Over a hundred Mystic Martial Martial Artists, considered superior beings in Yulan Domain, now kneeling on one knee at the same time with faces full of respect, left the members of Xiao Alliance stunned.

"Alliance Hierarch, who is the Alliance Hierarch?"

Following the gaze of those Mystic Martial Martial Artists, everyone’s eyes converged on Xiao Ye, and they widened their eyes in shock.

Could it be that the Alliance Hierarch mentioned by these people is Xiao Ye?

However, on second thought, this is quite normal, as Xiao Ye’s Cultivation has already reached the Void Martial Realm, and it would be simple for him to subdue some Mystic Martial subordinates.

Only the three King Level experts knew how formidable Xiao Ye was, and how difficult it is to possess a fief in a place like the True Spirit Continent, where strong individuals abound.

They suspected that there might be many tales about Xiao Ye in this East State land, and a strong curiosity immediately grew in their hearts.

"You are Long Chen’s subordinate, right? I didn’t expect to be discovered by you all just as I arrived in the True Spirit Continent, everyone get up," Xiao Ye said with a smile, looking at the stout man at the front, and with a wave of his hand, all hundred Mystic Martial Martial Artists involuntarily stood up.

"Yes, Alliance Hierarch, I didn’t expect that you would still remember me," said the big man, his face full of excitement, the person standing in front of them was the number one among the youth of East State, and even in the other Three Great States, who won first place in the Dynasty Battle, without having stepped into King Martial Realm, was already conferred a king for splitting the earth.

"Vice Alliance Hierarch Long Chen is busy with his duties, so he ordered his subordinates to wait here every day, and if the Alliance Hierarch returns, to inform him immediately," said the big man, his expression turning slightly anxious.

Xiao Ye slightly furrowed his brow, feeling a bad premonition, and said, "Take me to Ye Alliance first."

"Yes!" The big man, knowing this was not a place to talk, quickly led the way.

The other Mystic Martial Martial Artists helped the Xiao Alliance members with their luggage, guiding them to the headquarters of the Ye Alliance.

"Ah, truly worthy of being the Alliance Hierarch, other Martial Artists from the Endless Sea struggle enormously just to come to the True Spirit Continent, yet the Alliance Hierarch brings his entire family."

These Ye Alliance Mystic Martial Martial Artists showed faces full of emotion.

"Vice Alliance Hierarch Long Chen!" The former Monarch of Black Dragon Country, upon hearing the conversation between Xiao Ye and the big man, trembled with excitement.

It had been nearly ten years since Long Chen left Yulan Domain, and he finally heard news of Long Chen.

Thanks to Xiao Ye, Ye Alliance had become extremely famous within Xingyun Kingdom, and even throughout the whole East State Heavenly God Dynasty, and many Martial Artists from the Endless Sea had joined.

With the special attention from the East Emperor, the status of Ye Alliance had advanced by leaps and bounds; although no especially strong Martial Artists had emerged, in Xingyun Kingdom it was the only existence that could rival the Royal Family, occupying an outstanding position.

Now, the city occupied by Ye Alliance’s headquarters had been renamed Ye City, a powerful force was taking shape.

"So this is the force that Xiao Ye has established in the True Spirit Continent? It’s really formidable!" Shi Bo, Wu Daniu, and the Xiao Alliance members, entered Ye City, and seeing that it was full of Mystic Martial experts, they were immediately shocked.

Such a force, placed in Yulan Domain, would be enough to sweep through everything.

Along the way, Xiao Ye also briefly mentioned some of the adventures he had in Central State.

In front of the mansion of Ye Alliance, Long Chen, clad in a purple robe, having heard the news of Xiao Ye’s return, had been waiting with the high-ranking members of Ye Alliance.

"Chen’er!" The former Monarch of Black Dragon Country, seeing Long Chen, trembled and tears twinkled in his eyes.

Hearing the familiar voice, Long Chen was greatly surprised, and then overwhelmed with joy, the father and son embraced and laughed heartily.

"Xiao Ye, thank you for escorting my father to the True Spirit Continent," after a brief catch-up, Long Chen solemnly said to Xiao Ye.

"There’s no need to thank each other between us, there must be some issues happening with Ye Alliance now," Xiao Ye looked at Long Chen and spoke slowly.

Long Chen nodded, glanced around, and then with a grave expression said, "Let’s go inside and talk."

Seeing Long Chen being so cautious, Xiao Ye felt a bad premonition rise in his heart and walked first into the mansion.

"Make sure to settle the Alliance Hierarch’s family members properly, don’t neglect them," Long Chen told his subordinates behind him.

"Yes, Vice Alliance Hierarch!" The subordinates responded respectfully.

Watching Long Chen’s back, the Monarch of Black Dragon Country was filled with pride, seeing his son so successful in the True Spirit Continent made him happy.

Of course, he also understood that everything Long Chen now possessed was due to Xiao Ye’s influence, and thinking of this, he felt wise for his earlier support of Xiao Ye.

...

In a large hall within Ye Alliance’s mansion, after closing the doors and windows, Long Chen approached Xiao Ye with a serious face, "Xiao Ye, our Ye Alliance is in big trouble now."

"What trouble?" Xiao Ye frowned slightly.

Logically, with his current prestige in the Heavenly God Dynasty, highly valued by Emperor Donghuang, it seemed impossible for anyone to trouble Ye Alliance.

Could it be that the South Emperor disregarded the warning from Taiyi Palace and sought revenge?

"Do you remember the Golden Roc Kingdom from before?" Long Chen said at this time.

"Of course, I remember." Xiao Ye nodded. In fact, he had almost forgotten the existence of this kingdom. Just a mere kingdom, how much power could it possess to threaten the current Ye Alliance?

Moreover, he had only killed a Jinpengzi back then, who was not a descendant of the monarch of the Golden Roc Kingdom. Surely the Golden Roc Kingdom would not go against him now over a Young Talent, right?

"Not long after you returned to the Yulan Domain, the monarch of the Golden Roc Kingdom suddenly disappeared. Taking this opportunity, several other kingdoms divided the territory of the Golden Roc Kingdom, turning it into history."

"This incident is too mysterious; the disappearance of a King Martial Realm Expert is no small matter. Emperor Donghuang also sent people to investigate, but no discoveries were made, and we could only let the matter rest," Long Chen slowly continued.

"The monarch of the Golden Roc Kingdom suddenly disappeared?" Xiao Ye was slightly startled, sensing a conspiracy at play.

After all, in East State, aside from Emperor Donghuang, a King Martial Realm Expert is already among the pinnacle of combat power, almost impossible to meet with danger.

If so, what reason did the monarch of the Golden Roc Kingdom have to abandon his current status and identity?

Xiao Ye listened as Long Chen continued.

"However, ten days later, all the martial artists of Ye Alliance who were on a mission outside of Ye City were killed, none survived."

"Since then, every time we sent out martial artists from Ye City, they would be killed by a mysterious expert. I thought Ye Alliance had angered a formidable enemy; hence I ordered all Ye Alliance martial artists to withdraw into Ye City," Long Chen explained.

"That explains it." Upon hearing this, Xiao Ye finally understood. No wonder Long Chen was so cautious and careful, and indeed, there seemed to be too many martial artists in Ye City.

"Could it be that the mysterious strong person who took action is the monarch of the Golden Roc Kingdom?" Xiao Ye asked after a moment of silence.

He was somewhat skeptical that the monarch would abandon the Golden Roc Kingdom to deal with him just over Jinpengzi.

"At first, I couldn’t believe it would be the monarch of the Golden Roc Kingdom either. Back then, when King Xingyun learned of the crisis facing Ye Alliance, he personally came to help Ye Alliance through the danger."

"Just at the right moment, the killer appeared, King Xingyun chased after him, and a fierce battle ensued, only then we came to know that the killer was indeed the monarch of the Golden Roc Kingdom, but he managed to escape."

"King Xingyun had urgent matters to attend and left after a few days, but not before setting up an Array outside Ye City, which has kept Ye City safe to this date. However, we dare not venture out anymore," stated Long Chen.

"It really was him!" A cold light flashed in Xiao Ye’s eyes, filled with towering rage.

He still had a lot of trust in King Xingyun.

"He abandoned the Golden Roc Kingdom, so he could act without restraint and target me under an alias? Monarch of the Golden Roc Kingdom, you really are willing to pay the price. This matter is definitely not this simple. Behind the monarch of the Golden Roc Kingdom, there must be someone else behind the scenes pushing all this," Xiao Ye sneered, calmly analyzing thoroughly.

If he were to think of anyone he had offended in East State, aside from the monarch of the Golden Roc Kingdom, there were no others.

"Could it really be the South Emperor? He used the monarch of the Golden Roc Kingdom as an assassin due to his concern for Taiyi Palace. Even if Taiyi Palace pursued the matter, he could clean his hands of it!" A flash of insight crossed Xiao Ye’s mind, feeling more and more that this was highly probable.

Of course, this was merely his speculation and not necessarily the absolute truth.

"Xiao Ye, now that you’re finally back, what do you think we should do?"

"The monarch of the Golden Roc Kingdom is cunning. After being injured by the significantly advanced in cultivation King Xingyun last time, he has not appeared for a long time, but we can’t just keep hiding in Ye City," Long Chen said anxiously, so consumed by this matter these days that he had grown significantly thinner.

After all, a King Martial Realm Expert is not a joking matter; with just unleashing his full strength, he could single-handedly obliterate the entire Ye Alliance, Xiao Ye included.

"There are still ways," Xiao Ye’s eyes sparkled, his gaze finally resting on Little White who was sleeping on his shoulder, a cold smile on his face.

Since the monarch of the Golden Roc Kingdom is being so shameless, he would not be courteous either.

With Little White’s ability to tame ferocious beasts, causing a beast tide composed of Ferocious Beasts of Void Martial Realm strength to kill a King Martial Realm expert should not be a problem.

"Let’s wait for me to fully comprehend the content of the Four Emperor Skills’ Void Martial Scroll. When my strength substantially increases, the odds will be even greater. We must not allow the monarch of the Golden Roc Kingdom to survive; otherwise, troubles will be endless, and it would also expose Little White’s ability," Xiao Ye pondered for a moment and made a decision.

After all, there was still some time before the agreement with Taiyi Palace to go to Central State; he didn’t need to rush.

At this moment, unbeknownst to anyone, in the sky above Ye City, a majestic figure in a golden robe stood aloft, overlooking Ye City like a Heavenly God, his body emanating a chilling murderous intent.

A breeze passed by, and the figure also disappeared.
