Chapter 265 - 265 253 The Power of the Jade Ring

Chapter 265: Chapter 253: The Power of the Jade Ring Chapter 265: Chapter 253: The Power of the Jade Ring Wan Lan, who had escaped, could only return. Outside, a fierce battle was already underway. Even before she set foot in the courtyard, she had heard Meng Yan’s voice. This surprised her immensely as she did not understand how Meng Yan had made it back before her — an idea she found hard to believe. But it was indeed true. Meng Yan had indeed returned before her.

Meng Yan even greeted her. Wan Lan, having no other option, responded with a cold smile. Meng Yan was talking to two other girls as if nothing had happened, which made Wan Lan suspect her even more. There was definitely something off about this girl. If the black panther incident from last night made her doubt her suspicions, today’s incident rekindled them.

All the way back, she pondered about Meng Yan’s true intentions. What was she up to, and why would such a mysterious person take advantage of an opportunity to join the New City Sect? What was her real mission? The more Wan Lan thought about it, the more she was sure that Meng Yan had a hidden agenda, either to get close to Ye Chen or for a different purpose.

Unfortunately, she failed to follow her, hence she had no proof.

Her worry escalated. She decided that she needed to talk about this with Ling’er tonight.

Ye Chen had escaped the lightning and was getting closer when suddenly an energy as heavy as a boulder, came crashing down. A ferocious storm ensued, powerful energy burst out like looming dark clouds and overwhelmed him like a mountain.

Ye Chen immediately conjured his powerful inner energy.

His palm released a powerful energy, which turned into a flame in an instant. With a loud bang, more than a dozen lightning bolts were shot, and in a moment, he was enveloped in this energy, surrounded by lightning like a worm in a cocoon, unable to escape.

The powerful layers of lightning trapped him; he could not escape. He felt a burning temperature, and within a short period, he was already soaked in sweat, his face as fiery as molten iron. Still, he pressed on. There was no turning back, and the further he went, the more unbearable it became. His whole body was on the verge of being swallowed by the lightning.

With no other option, he mustered up courage and charged forward; showing any sign of weakness would only result in him being swallowed by lightning.

Worried about Ye Chen, Ling’er ran to her father shouting, “Father, we need to come up with a plan!”

Wei Sisan took a swing at the Zen Master, but was blasted away without making a difference. The Zen Master seemed to treat Ye Chen like an insignificant bug, who he wished to squash.

Ye Chen said, “It seems that we are going to die here.”

“Stop being such a wimp!”

“Then give me a solution, I can already smell the burnt flesh.”

“Damn it! Even at this time, you still think about eating.”

“I knew I shouldn’t have listened to your nonsense.”

The Red Demonic Spirit suddenly thought of something and said, “Jade Ring.”

“What Jade Ring?” Owing to the passing years, Ye Chen had already forgotten about this matter. Suddenly, he touched the Jade Ring around his neck and sure enough, there was a surge of powerful energy that came from it. He wondered how he could have forgotten about its existence.

The protective light wave that had been squeezed was shrinking and Ye Chen was about to pass out because of the scorching sensations. His clothes were already soaked through.

Ye Chen steadied himself.

He removed the Jade Ring hanging around his neck and forced all his remaining energy into it. The massive energy explosion that ensued created a shockwave and in an instant, it swallowed the lightning that was entangling him. The lightning exploded, radiating outwards, engulfing everything within twenty feet.

The shocked Ling’er jumped around like a flea, unsure of what to do. If her father couldn’t help, what could she possibly do? Just when that energy burst out, she felt surprised. She had believed that Ye Chen was a goner, it was really unexpected that at this moment, Ye Chen could break away from the lightning cluster that had enveloped him.

With a loud shout from Ye Chen, his powerful energy emerged like a flood. He sent out the second shock wave directly towards the Zen Master. The Zen Master released a strong energy but failed to block it. Perhaps due to his carelessness, he didn’t expect such powerful energy. Truly he didn’t expect this.

A loud blast knocked down the half-floating Zen Master towards a building. The building crashed down under the impact. Turning back, Ye Chen emitted a flame that razed a desolate area, setting everything ablaze.

It was at this time that the Zen Master came to understand what had happened. The object in his hand had released the powerful energy which put him in a disadvantageous position.

Shen Tian freed himself from Wei Sisan and the others. He released a beam of energy towards Ye Chen, forcing him back and reached the demolished Zen Master. The Zen Master coughed and dusted off the rubble from his body.

“Zen Master, how are you?” Shen Tian asked with concern.

The Zen Master shook his head and said, “I’m fine.” They had already emerged from the desolate area.

It was dark by this time. Shen Tian said, “Zen Master, we shouldn’t prolong this battle.”

Seemingly not wanting to carry on fighting, the Zen Master simply nodded in agreement.

At this point, a volley of arrows and flames quickly descended upon them. They were in the city, the stronghold of the New City Sect where many of their disciples congregated.

They had already defeated several monsters by now and were free to help defend against them.

Advised by Shen Tian, the Zen Master quickly retreated with the city’s disciples.

“You want to roast me like a grub, isn’t it!” Ye Chen was furious and intended to pursue them.

But he was stopped by Wei Sisan.

Only then did Ye Chen stop. Ling’er ran up to him, asking, “Are you okay?”

“How could anything be wrong with me?” Ye Chen started being unapologetic again.

“I thought you wouldn’t be able to escape.”

“What’s that thing in your hand?”

“Do you want it?”

“I certainly don’t.”

Wei Sisan glanced at the Jade Ring, nodded and said, “It’s good that you’re okay. We’ll talk about any issues after getting back.”

Jiang Zhuge came over. He had already taken care of the Carnivorous Giant Turtles.

The people outside the city had retreated one after another.

Wei Sisan was also relieved.

Finally, the day was over. Wei Sisan murmured, “As expected, the Zen Master is formidable.”

Ye Chen said, “If there’s nothing else, I have to go.”

Wei Sisan nodded and said, “Okay, get back. Come to the Temple for dinner.”

Ye Chen nodded, and Ling’er followed him, poking him and asking, “What martial arts techniques did you use?”

“You’ve noticed.”

“Your martial arts are the same as those of the Zen Master.”

“Perhaps he stole my martial arts.”

“You better explain what’s going on.”

“You seem to want to convict me, are you implying I’m from the Dragon Slaying Clan?”

“No one is trying to convict you. Don’t you know what martial arts you’ve learned?”

“I don’t know.”

“Who are you lying to?”

“I genuinely don’t know.”

“Then where did your martial arts come from?”

Ye Chen casually said, “From the Jade Ring.”

“What, you mean the Jade Ring you’re wearing? How can that be?”

“Heh, whether you believe it or not, I can’t help it.”

“Your Jade Ring contains a secret martial arts manual?”

Ye Chen nodded.

“Then where did you get this Jade Ring?”

“My father left it for me.”

“Your father, was your father a member of the Dragon Slaying Clan?”

“How could that be? Don’t make wild accusations.”

“Then how come your family has something from the Dragon Slaying Clan?”

Ye Chen smirked and said, “Can’t I possess something from the Dragon Slaying Clan without being a member?”

“Hey, who exactly is your father?”

“The Sect Leader of the Immortal City Sect.” Ye Chen casually replied.

“What?” Ling’er couldn’t believe it and said, “You must be joking with me, making up a father like that?”

“Do I look like I’m joking with you?”

“If your father is the Sect Leader of Immortal City Sect, why did he come to the Wastelands by himself?”

“What, can’t I enjoy the Wastelands!”

“You’re not a child conceived in an affair, are you?”

Those glaring eyes, it was really rare to see him angry, she hurriedly said: “It’s true, your mother hooked up with someone else and had you. Your father doesn’t even know about it.”

“You’re really nosy.”

“Hey, I’m just curious.” Ling’er murmured, “You’re really the son of the Sect Leader of the Immortal City Sect, doesn’t your father know about you?”

“He knows, but he doesn’t acknowledge me.”

Ling’er seemed to understand instantly.

“I heard that the Sect Leader of the Immortal City Sect has a wife and a son.”

“Can you not be so nagging.”

“Fine, I’ll quit my questioning. I guess I can infer some things, it seems Ye Chen doesn’t like discussing this.”

“I’ve heard that with the help of the Sect Leader of the Immortal City Sect, the Dragon Slaying Clan was defeated back in the day. Because of that incident, Su Hong became the Sect Leader of the Immortal City. ” Ling’er started to wonder, “Shouldn’t your last name be Su?”

“Can’t I take my mother’s surname?”

“So it seems, your mother truly despises your father.”

“Can you stop nagging.”

“Your father, having something from the Dragon Slaying Clan, now that makes sense. But this piece seems very important, and it has powerful energy.”

“What, you want it?”

“Hey, can you quit being so defensive? No one’s trying to steal your stuff.”

“Heh, that’s debatable.”

“What exactly is this thing?”

“I don’t know. All I know is, it was from my father to my mother, and from my mother to me.”

“Why would they leave such a thing for you?”

“Isn’t it obvious? If it weren’t for this thing, I would have been dead already. It’s for protection.” Ye Chen responded.

“It seems that your father really loves you.”

“What are you trying to say now?”

“He gave you such a precious item, allowing you to master the martial arts within, isn’t that proof of his love?”

“I can’t bother with you.” Ye Chen walked ahead swiftly.
