Chapter 53: Chaos!
After a while, the carriage was driven by Ye Chen to the foot of Lianyun Mountain. Ye Chen looked at the rugged mountain road and frowned slightly, stopping the carriage. He turned his head, lifted the curtain and said to Mu Bing: "Bing'er, the mountain road is a bit rugged, if the horse-drawn carriage goes on, it will be too slow, let's go up on foot!"
Mu Bing got out of the horse carriage and nodded politely at Ye Chen, following him towards Lianyun Sect.
"Ye Chen! You're finally back!"
Ye Chen hadn't walked far when he heard a familiar voice. He looked up to see a young man rushing towards him in a hurry, and it was none other than his good friend Mo Tian.
Ye Chen smiled slightly and jokingly said: "What's this, the great outer sect's top ten expert has also fallen to become a gatekeeper?"
Mo Tian's eyebrows furrowed, and he hastily said: "You still have the heart to joke around? I'm here specifically waiting for you. Right now, even the outer sect's martial arts arena of Yunzong is packed with people, all waiting for you!"
Ye Chen was taken aback and hastily asked: "Has it already begun?"
"Right! Now everyone says you're afraid and ran away!"
Mo Tian said hastily.
Ye Chen furrowed his brow and glanced at Mu Bing beside him, saying softly: "Bing'er, I have an urgent matter to attend to first, this is my good brother, he will take care of you!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Bing nodded her head cleverly.
At this time, Mo Tian noticed Mu Bing standing beside Ye Chen and was taken aback for a moment. He muttered to himself: "Pure and unadorned! The ultimate treasure of the mortal world!"
Ye Chen turned his head and looked at Mo Tian, saying urgently: "Mo Tian, help me take care of Bing Er for a moment, I'll go first!"
Mo Tian couldn't help but smile slightly, looking at Ye Chen with some jest, nodding: "You go first, I'll be right there!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Chen's figure moved swiftly like a whirlwind, charging straight towards the Lianyun Sect.
Mo Tian watched Ye Chen's departing back, a playful smile on his face, and muttered to himself: "You little devil are really something, you already have one at home, and then you bring another one back... Ye Chen, I really admire you!"
"Hello!"
Mu Bing looked at Mo Tian standing beside her and called out in a somewhat restrained tone.
Upon hearing this, Mo Tiancai suddenly reacted and said with a smile: "Hello, hello!"
Mu Bing smiled slightly and said softly: "Let's hurry up and go!"
Mo Tian nodded excitedly, and for a moment he fantasized about what would happen if Shen Xiang and the woman in front of him were to meet, as if he had already seen Ye Chen's tragic fate.
————————
The outer disciples of Yunyun Sect had already packed the martial arts arena outside the sect.
"Does Ye Chen know if he's coming or not?"
"Hmph, he shouldn't dare come now, he's been out of practice for two months, how can he be a match for Xu Fei!"
"He must have been scared, so he ran away!"
"Right! Right! Who does he think he is, daring to compete with Brother Xu? He should know that Brother Xu's brother is Xufeng!"
"Exactly!"
"Fart! How could Ye Chen run away, Xu Fei is the useless one!"
"Exactly! What's with the arrogance?"
The crowd under the stage was talking and suddenly divided into two sides, and then you and I started scolding each other.
Not far away, two young men stood looking down at the mountain, and the two people in front of them were none other than two of the top ten masters of the outer gate. Yu Ye Chen was a master from the same generation as Ye Chen, and although his relationship with Ye Chen wasn't as good as his relationship with Mo Tian, it was still pretty good.
As for the other top ten masters, several of them were on Xu Feng's side, although they were also here at this time, but they stood on Xu Fei's side.
"King Lao Da, do you think Ye Chen will come?"
A young man with a lazy face spoke to a burly youth, the speaking youth's name was Huo Feng, possessing the power of Shu Ti Jiu Chong, ranking fourth among the top ten masters.
He was known as Wang Lao Da, a majestic young man named Wang Zhan. His cultivation of ten fragmented bodies had reached the edge of a breakthrough and he would soon become a master of the Gathering Qi realm, making him the number one among the top ten outer sect experts.
Wang Zhan looked at the road leading here and nodded firmly: "Ye Chen will definitely come!"
Huo Feng lazily smiled and said: "I think so too, after all, we are more familiar with Ye Chen's personality!"
Xu Fei stood on the martial arts stage, looking down at the crowd below with a cold smile. To say nothing of Ye Chen not being here yet, even if he really came, Xu Fei still had the determination to win.
A white light flashed across Xu Fei's right sleeve.
No, Xu Fei had already seen that Ye Chen's strength was not much different from his own when he caught Ye Chen last time. In order to win, Xu Fei specially ran to Xu Feng and asked for something that would allow him to win.
Ki Blast!
Xu Fei's right hand held a small round ball that emitted white light.
This thing is called a True Qi Bullet, it's something that cultivators who have condensed their Qi use to condense their own True Qi into, possessing roughly the same power as themselves. However, refining True Qi Bullets consumes a lot of True Qi and only has one-tenth of the refiner's power, so this thing is usually very rare in existence. Only some large families will specially refine some for their low-level cultivator relatives to use for self-defense, but absolutely not many.
Now, the true energy pellets in Xufei's hands were personally refined by Xufeng, and although their power was only one-tenth of the original, they were still impossible for someone at the Fragmented Body Realm to truly contend with. To know that previously, when Ye Chen was at the eighth level of the Fragmented Body Realm, his full-strength attack had landed on Xufeng's body, but Xufeng had relied solely on his own protective true energy's rebounding ability to render Ye Chen useless.
Xu Fei stood on the stage with a faint smile on his face, and shouted loudly to the people below: "Everyone please be quiet for a moment. Ye Chen doesn't dare to come, I don't blame him either. After all, whoever knows will definitely die, who would still come?"
Shen Xiang stood below the stage, coldly staring at Xu Fei, and slowly said: "It's still early now, why are you afraid?"
"Am I scared?" Xu Fei laughed "haha": "You all tell me, who's scared now? Who didn't dare to come?"
Huo Feng, standing not far away, looked at Xu Fei's arrogant appearance, his face slightly cold, and angrily said: "This stinky brat, relying on Xu Wind's support is too presumptuous! How can he say that Ye Chen was also one of our top ten masters before? I'll go teach him a lesson!"
As he spoke, Huo Feng was about to walk away from the martial arts arena.
"Fourth brother, stop!" Wang Zhan grabbed Huo Feng and said in a low voice: "Don't be impatient, let's wait a bit longer, I believe Ye Chen will come!"
Upon hearing this, Huo Feng let out a cold hum in the direction of Xu Fei's location and stood still, gazing at the path leading to this place.
Xu Fei looked at Shen Xiang with a sneer and said in a low voice, "How about it? The person you have a crush on is actually a coward who fears death!"
At this, Shen Xiang's face turned extremely ugly and she shouted: "You're talking nonsense, Brother Chen is not that kind of person!"
As the two gradually quarreled, the humble people also gradually approached each other.
"Old Wang, it seems like we're going to fight!"
Huo Feng smiled and looked at the crowd in the arena with great interest.
Everyone who knows Huo Feng is aware that he's a standard good fighter, whenever he sees someone else fighting, he'll rush up like a foolish and impulsive young man, without distinguishing right from wrong, and start fighting. The outcome usually has two possibilities: either he beats the other person or the other person beats him; otherwise, he won't stop. Because of this, the elder of the outer sect hasn't spared punishment for him.
Wang Zhan smiled slightly and said in a low voice, "How did your hand get itchy?"
Huofeng awkwardly smiled and softly said: "I'm going up?"
Wang Zhan looked towards the direction of several other outer sect disciples, saw that they were also staring at him, furrowed his brow slightly, and said to Huo Feng: "Don't move yet, those people are watching us, if we make a move, I'm afraid they will also take action!"
Huo Feng looked at the crowd with a slight frown and said in a low voice, "What to do? The people on Ye Chen's side are obviously fewer. If they fight later, they will definitely be at a disadvantage. Moreover, Xu Feng seems to have warned several elders not to come today!"
Wang Zhan looked again at the road leading to this side, his eyebrows tightly furrowed, and said in a low voice: "Wait a bit, if Ye Chen still doesn't come, we'll take action. At that time, I'll try to hold off those few!"
Upon hearing this, Huo Feng nodded his head. He understood that if he were to face the others alone, there was no way he could win. Only Wang Zhan's current cultivation base of Shattered Void Stage 10th layer could withstand their combined attack.
Just as the two were talking, a fight had already broken out among the crowd.
"Oh no! Who kicked my butt?!"
"What the...! Is it okay if I'm one of us?!"
"Who's with you? You're the one who's been beaten!"
"Damn it! Who hit my second child? I'm going to fight you to the death!"
Because there were too many people, the fight had become chaotic and it was hard to tell who was who. What was originally a battle between two sides had turned into a melee! However, the numerous cultivators all simultaneously stopped using their cultivation abilities and instead used their fists and feet to attack each other. Among them, there were even some women who were scratching at each other...
Chaos!
It's too chaotic!
Shen Xiang looked at the crowd on the scene, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, her eyes fixed tightly on Xu Fei standing on the stage.
Xu Fei looked at the chaotic scene with a faint smile.
Huo Feng couldn't sit still any longer and turned his head to look at Wang Zhan, saying urgently: "Wang Lao Da, let's go!"
Wang Zhan turned his head and took another look at the road leading here, suddenly, his eyes narrowed, a hint of a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he turned his head to look at Huo Feng, and said in a low voice: "Ye Chen has arrived!"
Upon hearing this, Huo Feng looked in the direction of the road and saw a figure in the distance rushing towards them. He smiled excitedly: "He's coming!"
Ye Chen saw Wang Zhan and Huo Feng from afar, both with smiling faces looking at him, he smiled slightly and rushed over.
"Wang Lao Da, Huo Lao Si!"
Ye Chen smiled slightly. In Ye Chen's eyes, the people in Lianyun Sect who had the best relationship with him, apart from Shen Xiang and Mo Tian, were the two people in front of him.
Huo Feng chuckled and said: "Ye Laojiu, you've finally arrived!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen let out a bitter laugh and muttered: "Nowadays, I am no longer the ninth among the top ten masters of the outer sect!" Then, Ye Chen continued to say: "Why are you all here?"
Wang Zhan smiled slightly and turned his head to point at the chaotic scene, sighing: "Look, it's all messed up!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen looked up at the arena and his originally puzzled face instantly turned into a pig's liver color, stunned and unable to utter a word.
