Chapter 670: Chapter 669 [Shaolin Temple of the Ancient Martial World]

[PS: Thank you for all the strong support from my brothers, and thank you for your rewards!]

Ye Tianchen, resolute in his approach, had slain the elder Chen Du of the Five Poison Sect. The old fellow was disrespectful in his old age, mean, and shameless, a person of great evil, and naturally, Ye Tianchen showed no mercy.

However, shortly after Ye Tianchen and Dongfang Meng left the area where they had killed elder Chen Du, within half an hour the bodies of elder Chen Du and three other young cultivators of the Five Poison Sect were discovered by three people. The person in the middle wore a mask that half covered his face, featuring half a white snake’s head that looked ferocious and terrifying.

"Brother Hao, elder Chen Du is indeed dead, it seems the Sect Leader’s sensing was not wrong!" one of them respectfully said to the man in the middle.

"It doesn’t matter that this old guy is dead, he never supported me becoming the next Sect Leader of the Five Poison Sect anyway. But, his death does have another benefit, that is, once I find the murderer and avenge him, my prestige within the Five Poison Sect will rise, and everyone will say I am a person of great righteousness, not a petty and narrow-minded one!" the man in the snake head mask said coldly.

"So, Brother Hao, what do we do now?" another person asked.

"Pursue the murderer and also inform the Sect to send support. Whoever could kill elder Chen Du must be strong, so we need to be careful!"

"Understood!"

After killing the elder Chen Du from the Five Poison Sect, Ye Tianchen wasn’t aware that the people from the Five Poison Sect were immediately pursuing him, already searching everywhere for their traces. Having been passed down from ancient times, the Five Poison Sect has a very long history. Could a sect that has endured from ancient times to the present not be strong or have a profound heritage?

It has been confirmed by more and more people that Earth was once a thriving world of cultivation with countless powerhouses. Even though those people have left for unknown reasons, they still left behind some legacies. The sects that received these legacies are certainly powerful and able to survive to this day. Wouldn’t they all have some deep foundations? The Five Poison Sect is one of them; no wonder Dongfang Meng was a bit worried.

All the while using Qi Manipulation Flight, Ye Tianchen and Dongfang Meng were headed toward the other side of Song Mountain, while Dongfang Meng explained some matters of the Ancient Martial World to Ye Tianchen. She had heard most of these things from her master, and whether they were true or not, she hadn’t verified it herself. However, she believed that at her master’s level, the information known would naturally be much more and much truer than that of ordinary cultivators.

"Not only does the Five Poison Sect possess the absolute skill of the Five Poison Palm, but they also have the Poison Array and the Poison Flag. It is said that the Sect Leader of the Five Poison Sect, Du Tianqi, has greatly increased his strength over the years and can control any highly poisonous thing, killing people invisibly!" Dongfang Meng said.

"Just now elder Chen Du poisoned you. I saw it. It was very fast, and hard to guard against. Whether you had contact with his palm force or not, there were still chances to be poisoned. There are too many ways poison can spread, especially through the air, which is impossible to guard against!" Although Ye Tianchen had slain Chen Du, he was not at all arrogant. His ability to kill Chen Du was thanks to the Taie Sword, and he was still cautious about Chen Du’s skill in using poison.

"The Five Poison Sect is vengeful. They are overbearing in the Ancient Martial World, and normally, no sect dares to provoke them. By killing this elder of the Five Poison Sect, they will definitely not let it go, and sooner or later they will come looking for us!" Dongfang Meng said seriously.

"You’re wrong, it’s not us, but I who killed Chen Du. Even if the Five Poison Sect comes knocking, it should be me who stands in their way and takes action!" Ye Tianchen said with a smile as he looked at Dongfang Meng.

"You...." Dongfang Meng was stunned. She hadn’t expected Ye Tianchen to want to take on the responsibility alone. Knowing that the Five Poison Sect was not to be trifled with, even Bei Lengshi of the Songshan Sect, a wicked figure who had harmed countless experts in the Ancient Martial World, didn’t dare to provoke the Five Poison Sect easily. Moreover, this time the Five Poison Sect was also a strong contender at the Ancient Martial World Alliance Conference.

"Let’s go, I’m looking forward to meeting Master Fang Zheng more and more now. There’s no need to think too much about some things. Thinking too much is useless. Just block the troops and cover the water with earth!" Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

"Yes!"

Dongfang Meng nodded, and while still using Qi Manipulation Flight, she just took two steps forward when she almost fell headlong to the ground. Fortunately, Ye Tianchen quickly stepped forward and caught her.

"What’s wrong? Are you okay?" Ye Tianchen asked with concern.

"It’s nothing. It seems the poison elder Chen Du used hasn’t completely worn off..." Dongfang Meng said with a wry smile.

Ye Tianchen glanced at Dongfang Meng and then walked in front of her and crouched down, saying seriously, "Come on, I’ll carry you!"

"No, no need, I can walk on my own, it’s all right!" Dongfang Meng’s cheeks reddened as she spoke.

"Do you want the people from the Five Poison Sect to catch up? There’s only half a month left until the Ancient Martial World Conference. If we don’t meet Master Fang Zheng soon, it won’t be easy for you to become the ruler of the Ancient Martial World and fulfill your master’s last wish. Would you be content with that?" Ye Tianchen shook his head and asked.

Dongfang Meng hesitated for a moment and then slowly lay on Ye Tianchen’s back. Ye Tianchen sighed. It seemed that the Ancient Tomb Sect was down to just Dongfang Meng. In the Ancient Martial World, where power reigns supreme and is as ruthless as the apocalypse, if you are not strong enough, you are just prey to be slaughtered. Although Dongfang Meng had mastered the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture, she had not yet fully grasped its essence. It was nearly impossible for the remnants of the Ancient Tomb Sect to rule the Ancient Martial World on their own. This time, after entering the Ancient Martial World, Ye Tianchen also felt its immense power. Although both realms existed on Earth, the Ancient Martial World and the Mortal World were entirely different worlds. To exaggerate a little, a few top masters from the Ancient Martial World could easily destroy countries in the Mortal World. However, they would neither engage in such actions nor disdain them. These sects from the Ancient Martial World were inheritances from ancient times, privy to many secrets of the ancients. In a word, what they pursued was different from ordinary people.

Now, Ye Tianchen not only wanted to rescue Tian Boguang but also find the Transmission Array. His immediate goal was to meet Master Fang Zheng from the Shaolin Temple and if he was lucky enough to witness the "Yijin Jing," it would be a tremendous fortune for him, though the "Yijin Jing" was not easy to come by.

"You guide me, and I will use the Divine Movement Skill to advance quickly!" Ye Tianchen said.

"Uh-huh!" Dongfang Meng nodded shyly.

Whoosh!

Ye Tianchen disappeared on the spot, carrying the injured Dongfang Meng and quickly headed to the Shaolin Temple within the Ancient Martial World. He knew this Shaolin Temple was utterly different from the Shaolin Temple in the Mortal World. Though it might share the same Buddhist faith, the dimensions were vastly different.

Along the way, Ye Tianchen and Dongfang Meng both remained silent. Dongfang Meng was a bit shy and injured, lacking the mindset and energy to speak. As for Ye Tianchen, after carrying Dongfang Meng, he couldn’t help but feel the comfort of her full body pressing against his back and had to control himself extensively. How could Ye Tianchen forget what had happened between him and Dongfang Meng back at the Ancient Tomb Sect? It had been a life-saving moment, and the attraction between them was beyond human resistance. Dongfang Meng, a girl who had never experienced such intimacy, had given her first time to Ye Tianchen. She and Qingcheng Yue were considered the two most beautiful women in the Ancient Martial World. No one would have imagined that Dongfang Meng, who was the object of many desires, had ended up with Ye Tianchen. If this news got out, countless people would want to kill Ye Tianchen.

Divine Movement Skill was unrivaled, and it was not for nothing. After merely three hours, Ye Tianchen stopped in front of a long staircase, facing the endless steps with a sense of solemn grandeur.

"We’re here. How do we get in?" Ye Tianchen turned to look at Dongfang Meng on his back.

Dongfang Meng’s cheeks turned slightly red. Despite her strength, she was ultimately a girl. Just thinking about being unclothed and face-to-face with Ye Tianchen in the Ancient Tomb Sect made it impossible for her not to feel shy, unless she was like Li Qiushui, shameless.

"Let’s go up. If we encounter any obstructions, make sure not to act rashly. This place, like the Mortal World, is a Buddhist Holy Land!" Dongfang Meng regained her composure and spoke earnestly.

Ye Tianchen nodded. On the way, Dongfang Meng had shared some of the deeds of Master Fang Zheng, a venerable and kind-hearted elder with immeasurable cultivation, who embodied compassion and had never taken a life.

As they walked up the long staircase, Ye Tianchen increasingly felt something was off. Considering Shaolin Temple was the North Star of the Ancient Martial World, a sect with immense prestige, how could it have no guards at all?

"You needn’t be surprised. I once heard from my master that Shaolin Temple doesn’t have many disciples; each is a profound practitioner of Buddhist Law. There won’t be many guards in Shaolin Temple, and hardly anyone dares to intrude recklessly!" Dongfang Meng noticed Ye Tianchen’s puzzlement and explained.

"That impressive? It seems Shaolin’s Absolute Skill must be too powerful, otherwise how could it possibly deter thieves!" Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but express his amazement.

"You’ll see when we get up there. I also came here once when I was a child with my master. But, remember my words, don’t act rashly, and don’t stray off." Dongfang Meng reminded him again.

"I get it. I’m not a three-year-old kid. Do you need to remind me like my mom?" Ye Tianchen said in frustration.

This time, Dongfang Meng unexpectedly didn’t glare at Ye Tianchen, but instead, she secretly smiled and continued climbing up the long staircase step by step! (To be continued.
