Chapter 885: Chapter 884 [Dongfang Meng Killed?]

Silence, stillness, awkwardness. Ye Tianchen was also at a loss. Ling Yuxun, Li Xiaoqing, Su Feifei, Liu Rumei, these four very beautiful and very outstanding women are definitely not the kind of vases like great beauties. Such women can be said to be loved by all. Countless men want to pursue them, want to make them their girlfriends or wives. However, Ye Tianchen was speaking words of rejection and words that hurt them. If word got out, many men would surely curse angrily, wishing they could strangle this unromantic fellow Ye Tianchen to death.

But Ye Tianchen is a man who values affection and loyalty, not someone who is fickle or a playboy. In his opinion, if you love someone, you must be devoted and serious, you must take responsibility for her. If you cannot bring happiness, if you cannot provide a peaceful and safe life, why not make it clear early on? Why delay it? Every second of delay is a display of irresponsibility, there is no need to find too many excuses. Ye Tianchen is not someone who drags things out. The further he progresses on the path of martial arts, the more he feels the danger and pressure. Naturally, he wants to clarify it all at once, lest he should hold back these beautiful girls’ happiness.

"You big dummy, you..."

Ling Yuxun, Li Xiaoqing, Su Feifei, Liu Rumei, these four women, actually all started speaking to Ye Tianchen at the same time. As soon as they began, they realized the other three were also about to speak. The four beauties exchanged glances, looking a little embarrassed, yet they were momentarily speechless.

Ye Tianchen glanced at the four beautiful women present, with a sincere smile on his lips. He was genuinely moved and really grateful to them. These four women, no matter how they came to know each other, could now be counted as good friends. They had all helped him in significant ways, shown him some affection and friendship. Now that things were clarified with them, it was better. Since he and these four women were destined to have no outcome, it was for their sake to make things clear sooner, let them seek their next opportunity for happiness.

"Ladies, it seems there’s nothing more to say. I have important matters to attend to, so I’ll head off first. We are good friends. If there’s anything you need, just find me, Ye Tianchen, and I would dare anything. Bye-bye!"

Staying only increases the sadness, and only leaves the awkwardness. Ye Tianchen knew how these four women felt about him, but he could not delay them because Ye Tianchen had his own aspirations, his own ideals, his own destiny. All of this made it impossible for him to give them happiness. So, after saying his piece, to avoid awkwardness and unpleasantness, Ye Tianchen stood up and left before the four beauties could react. This is him, Ye Tianchen, a man of emotion and righteousness, a man who truly thinks of others.

"What... what did this big bad guy just say?" Ling Yuxun was the first to react, with a tinge of irritated charm in her voice.

"He’s just trying to fob us off, huh? No way." Li Xiaoqing said with a firm clench of her dainty fists.

"I don’t care. I love him dearly, and I won’t just let him run away like that. Just you wait!" Su Feifei also stated resolutely.

Only Liu Rumei said nothing. Instead, she stood up quietly and left, leaving Ling Yuxun, Li Xiaoqing, and Su Feifei dumbfounded, unsure why.

In fact, during her time with Ye Tianchen, after experiencing some things together, Liu Rumei’s heart gradually changed. She actually became somewhat fond of Ye Tianchen. However, she never voiced it, never expressed it, only mentioning him in passing to Yong Chun Tai once or twice. Liu Rumei knew that the events of the past, at that time, both she and Ye Tianchen were very young. Many things were beyond their control and they could only decide. The events had caused great harm to the Ye family and Ye Tianchen, and she was powerless. But now, to say she has fallen for Ye Tianchen, likes Ye Tianchen, how could she bring herself to say it? This was painful for her, an inner torment, like fate was playing a cruel trick.

After leaving the seafood hotel, Ye Tianchen felt a sense of unprecedented relaxation. Though he knew that perhaps his words had hurt the hearts of those who loved him, it was beneficial for them, allowing them to know that he, Ye Tianchen, could not offer them peace and stable happiness. Better to let go and make it clear sooner, so both could have a baseline, preventing emptiness and false hope.

After leaving the seafood hotel, Ye Tianchen headed to the training base of the Thirteen Heavenly Kings. There, he planned to take Wuxue, Bao Tianglong, Hu Long, Lin Duan, Wang Jie, Zhang Tian, Zhang Di, Li San, together with him to the Ancient Martial World for cultivation, something he had promised them. And Wuxue and the others all had exceptional talent and perseverance. After becoming martial artists, their desire for martial arts power was evident. Aside from eating and sleeping, they spent all their time comprehending and cultivating.

Cultivating martial arts can be tough and yet easy. If one can successfully become a martial artist, then it’s about condensing martial arts true power in the Dantian, storing more and more martial arts true power there, followed by cultivating martial arts divine skills. Step by step, breaking through cultivation realms, they can become strong martial artists. However, it’s very challenging to condense strong martial arts true power in the Dantian. The further one progresses, the harder it becomes, as an ordinary person’s Dantian has a limited capacity. To continuously hold more martial arts true power, one must keep expanding the space in the Dantian, which is tough to achieve. Moreover, the cultivation and comprehension of martial arts divine skills are even more difficult.

When Ye Tianchen arrived at the training base of the Thirteen Heavenly Kings’ members, he found that the eight of Wuxue were diligently cultivating on the open ground. They already possessed not insignificant martial arts true power within them, which surprised Ye Tianchen. These eight were truly gifted and perceptive. Although still at the beginning stages of being martial artists, Ye Tianchen believed that once Wuxue and the others arrived at a place with spiritual energy, they could quickly break through to the Martial Spirit realm and truly embark on a martial artist’s cultivation journey.

"Big brother!" Seeing Ye Tianchen’s arrival, Wuxue and the others stopped cultivating and all stood up.

Regarding the matter of addressing, Ye Tianchen had long decided they should stick to the old ways. Having his brothers from before call him master was quite awkward, and since many in Wuxue’s group were older than him, Ye Tianchen, not one to fuss over such minor matters, let them call him big brother instead. Being called master was indeed hard to accept.

"Hmm, it seems you’re all doing well in your cultivation. Let’s go!" Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

"Go? Where to?" Bao Tianglong couldn’t help but ask.

"To a place where you can break through your cultivation realm, to the Ancient Martial World!" Ye Tianchen said.

"Really? That’s great! I haven’t been to the Ancient Martial World yet, so exciting!" Wang Jie was the first to shout excitedly.

Upon hearing that Ye Tianchen was taking them to the Ancient Martial World, Wuxue and the others were all very happy and excited. Ye Tianchen asked them to sort out matters in the Mortal World because this trip to the Ancient Martial World was unpredictable, with uncertain chances of returning or surviving.

Wuxue and the others did not leave. Since becoming the Thirteen Heavenly Kings, those naturally alone remained so, and those with family had already made arrangements. They were living for their aspirations, with higher ideals and goals.

"Since no one has anything else to handle, let’s set off!" Ye Tianchen said.

At this point, Ye Tianchen didn’t want to waste another second. That dream had been haunting him, making him anxious and fearful. Over half a year had passed. How were Dongfang Meng, Hu Gao, Tian Boguang, Tianshuang, and the villagers of Desolate Stone Village? Was it just like in the dream, where they were found and slaughtered by the Blood Killing Organization and the Nine Netherworld?

Three days and nights later, Ye Tianchen entered the Ancient Martial World of Song Mountain. Behind him, as Wuxue and the others entered the Ancient Martial World, they felt the spiritual energy and immediately began cultivating. Ye Tianchen didn’t disturb or stop them but allowed them to cultivate there, assuring them he would return for them and asking them not to go wandering, as the Ancient Martial World was filled with too many unknown dangers.

After arranging for Wuxue and the others to cultivate by a secluded waterfall, Ye Tianchen performed the Divine Movement Skill and left. He remembered that not far from there was the location of the Ancient Tomb Sect. After parting with Dongfang Meng at Songshan Sect last time, he hadn’t seen her since. Being so close, he naturally wanted to visit.

Swish!

Swish!

Two figures swiftly traveled across the land. Ye Tianchen frowned. They were two martial artists. He quickly got closer, reaching a distance where he could clearly hear their conversation.

"Have you heard? The Ancient Tomb Sect has been destroyed!" one of them said.

"I heard. But the Ancient Tomb Sect’s Jade Maiden Heart Scripture is so powerful, the only cultivation treasure comparable to the Yijin Jing. The only remaining disciple of the Ancient Tomb Sect, Dongfang Meng, also had high perception and a profound cultivation realm. Who could have destroyed the Ancient Tomb Sect and killed Dongfang Meng? It’s incredible!" the other said, also somewhat shocked and incredulous. (To be continued.
