Chapter 348- Opening of the Twelve Gates

Chapter 348: Chapter 348- Opening of the Twelve Gates

"You cannot be blamed. Who knew that guy would be this strong. Dual Affinity... people with such gifts are extremely rare" Bai Changfeng’s voice was laced with thick jealousy.

"That girl managed to get some capable backer. However, as long as she is out of the capital, we can still get her. Anyways, you should recover. The twelve gates will be opened soon"...

Elder Chang nodded his head and got into recovering his injuries.

"Ah, by the way, I managed to recall some interesting news about that guy. Hehe, it is very interesting".

"Get over it, you were too weak to do anything there" On a secluded place near the basin, Amon spoke to Yang Chen, whose expression still looked a little upset.

"It doesn’t matter if you were in the right or wrong. Might makes right, since you lacked the power, you had to swallow the bitter pill and walk away".

We should look at the bigger picture, what a bunch of crap. If the roles were swapped, if he was the one to get defeated, that Li Fang would not even have blinked his eyelids. The only reason he moved was because he had some benefit there.

Everything else he said was just hypocritical words, words that only the strong could say because they were strong.

"It’s a shame that you could not kill them to get their exp but those face slaps did get you quite some mischief points. Or is it that you are mad for a different reason?"...

"What other reason could there be?" Amon simply whistled, not bothering to explain.

Yang Chen sighed and looked at Tang Xun’er who seemed much better after taking the recovery pill.

"Are you alright?"...

The girl blinked her eyes and directed the same question at him. "I should be the one asking you that? So you were not lying when you said you are an alchemist?"

To practice alchemy, one needed to cultivate Soul energy, so it could be said that all Alchemists are soul energy cultivators.

The energy that Yang Chen used earlier was soul energy. What’s more, according to Yun. He was even in the Soul Materialisation realm. That was like the equivalent of Battle Overlord in the Battle energy cultivation.

"You were the one who didn’t believe me. Now you understand why the Star Whisker Grass is not wasted on me?"...

"Haha, you are still hung up on that matter?" the girl laughed, her beautiful melody made the wonderful scenery around even more magnificent.

"Thank you" Tang Xun’er tucked a bang behind her ears and thanked. Counting all the times he helped her turn the situation around, she really meant what she said.

"It was my fault in the first place, I was the one who brought you into this trouble. Those people had enmity with me, not you. Since they couldn’t find me, they went after you. Still, I’m amazed that you held onto that rune plate without giving an inch to their demands".

Not used to receiving such sincerity, Yang Chen changed the subject. Tang Xun’er realised his peculiar antics too and did not mind.

She smiled and looked straight at him "It was something that I got thanks to you. How can I just let them take it?"...

"You put yourself into danger for that?"

Had he not arrived on time, Tang Xun’er would have had to face all of those people alone. Although he knew she was quite strong, it would have still put her in danger. What’s more, thanks to Amon, he knew that the Demonic Spirit residing in her pendant, although strong, was in a state where it could not exert most of its powers.

Yang Chen was stunned.

"Yeah, my words exactly. I told her many times to get out of here. However, she refused to let go of that rune plate all because of you, brat. You called her a friend"

Yun who had a boatload of pent up frustration, finally erupted. He kept on buzzing until it was time to open the gates.

With the conflict over, all attention was naturally placed on the twelve gates seemingly carved inside the mountain. The highly anticipated event that everybody was waiting for, the inheritance of the ancient sect.

To open the gates, one needed the rune plates. What’s more, all twelve gates needed to be open at the same time for it to work. That is to say, all twelve keys need to be present here in the plaza for this to begin.

By now, all the other key holders had also arrived in the basin or revealed their presence. Surprisingly, other than Yang Chen and Tang Xun’er there were quite a few individuals holding the key who didn’t belong to any major sect.

What’s more, their strength was also nothing to scoff at. To snatch the keys from the hands of the major sect, they were the true dark horse.

Yang Chen who was observing the key holders, suddenly felt a stare directed at him. Turning around, he saw a figure similarly covering his appearance like him, calmly observing him.

"Do you know that person?" Looking at the direction where he was staring, Tang Xun’er couldn’t help but ask.

"No" Yang Chen shook his head. This was the desert region, and this was his first time meeting with that figure. However, for some reason he didn’t know, but he felt a faint familiarity with him.

This sense of familiarity was so faint that he could just have been mistaken. That said, the gaze the other party directed at him was quite odd. They were not hostile; no, if that were the case, the alert from his [Map] would have shown the other party in a red marker.

The gaze was more inquisitive and filled with amusement rather than anything else. Yang Chen’s gaze shifted and landed on the person next to this figure and immediately, his eyes widened.

The reason being the other party was none other than the old man whom he met back at the Sky devouring Flame Formation.

Seemingly perceiving his stare, the old man turned towards him. Immediately a pressure that could even squash a battle overlord’s spirit, emanated from him.
