Chapter 3890: Chapter 3690: Vast Holy Fire (Fifth Update)
He put away the Death Star Stone and looked at Yang Qianyu and the others.
Facing Wang Pianye and Zhan Hao, both late-stage Heavenly Repairing Realm experts, Ye Chen not only emerged unscathed but also rendered them powerless. This greatly uplifted the spirits of the Six Paths Sect members, each of their eyes sparkling with eagerness.
Ye Chen’s performance was beyond their expectations, making them realize that following Ye Chen might indeed offer a chance to vie for the position among First-class forces. At this moment, their fighting spirit was aroused, and they were filled with admiration for Ye Chen.
"Senior brother, it’s good you’re alright."
Yang Qianyu stepped forward, looking at Ye Chen with joy. Then, remembering something, his face slightly darkened as he looked at the disciple who had just disclosed Ye Chen’s whereabouts to Wang Pianye and others.
"Gao Miaoli, come out!"
At this moment, Yang Qianyu’s gaze was cold, directed at the one who betrayed Ye Chen’s whereabouts.
Upon hearing this, Gao Miaoli’s face turned pale with panic; he hadn’t expected Ye Chen could single-handedly cripple Wang Pianye and the others. At this moment, he felt deep regret, wishing he’d known of Ye Chen’s strength sooner, as he would never have betrayed Ye Chen.
"What’s going on?"
Upon seeing this, Ye Chen was puzzled, looking questioningly at Yang Qianyu.
"Senior brother, this guy revealed your location to the people of Tianyin Palace, betraying the Six Paths Sect. Should we punish him according to sect rules?"
Yang Qianyu coldly asked, evidently displeased with Gao Miaoli.
In Yang Qianyu’s mind, Ye Chen was someone worthy of respect, fit for the position of Chief Disciple of the Six Paths Sect. Betraying a fellow member was an act of disgrace in any sect.
Upon hearing about enforcing sect rules, the members of the Six Paths Sect turned pale; the punishment for betraying the sect could be execution or suppression for ten thousand years, undoubtedly severe.
At this moment, Gao Miaoli was completely terrified, instantly dropping to his knees before Ye Chen.
"Senior brother, I was foolish. I shouldn’t have disclosed your location to those people. I beg for your mercy, senior brother."
Gao Miaoli was extremely frightened, knowing Ye Chen could single-handedly cripple Wang Pianye and others, his strength unfathomable. Facing Ye Chen, he dared not resist and could only plead for leniency.
At this moment, Ye Chen understood the situation clearly; seeing Gao Miaoli kneeling at his feet, he calmly shook his head.
"Get up."
Ye Chen said plainly.
"Ah?" Hearing these words, Gao Miaoli was momentarily taken aback, looking at Ye Chen in surprise, thinking he had misheard.
Yang Qianyu furrowed his brows at Ye Chen: "Senior brother, how can you let this guy who dared betray a fellow member off lightly?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen shook his head and looked at the fellow sect members.
"Everyone, I understand clearly that you previously distrusted me and were displeased with my participation in the Sect Ascension Ceremony for First-class forces."
"Therefore, making mistakes is understandable, and I can forgive them. But if anyone dares to make mistakes again, sect rules will be enforced!"
With Ye Chen’s words, the disciples showed expressions of shame; they did indeed distrust Ye Chen, believing his actions might doom them. But now, understanding Ye Chen’s strength, they started to respect him.
"Senior brother, I realize my mistake. From now on, I, Gao Miaoli, will follow you unswervingly and trust you completely!"
Gao Miaoli was moved by Ye Chen’s words; Ye Chen didn’t punish him for betrayal, even showing understanding, greatly touching Gao Miaoli, hence pledging allegiance to Ye Chen.
Meanwhile, Yang Qianyu and others solemnly looked at Ye Chen and said: "Senior brother, we also pledge allegiance to you, trusting without hesitation, never abandoning!"
Ye Chen’s actions, single-handedly crippling Wang Pianye and Zhan Hao, scaring off Tianyin Palace, forgiving Gao Miaoli with great generosity, had gained him utmost admiration from the disciples of the Six Paths Sect, earning full recognition as Chief Disciple.
Seeing them like this, Ye Chen smiled. For the Six Paths Sect to rise, not only must there be a spirit of struggle, but also unity. Now Ye Chen had managed to unite the disciples of the Six Paths Sect, and he was satisfied.
Meanwhile, on a mountain peak not far away, a group of people watched Ye Chen and his group at the lake.
These people emitted an overwhelming heat wave; standing together, they seemed to transform into Divine Yang. However, at this moment, they restrained their aura, undetectable unless nearby.
Among this group, a man with extraordinary demeanor, surrounded by Hongmeng Energy and clad in fiery red armor, fixed his deep gaze on Ye Chen.
"Senior brother, this Ye Chen seems quite competent. But except for Ye Chen, the others are mere waste; why not capture them and take the Death Star Stone?"
A person beside the armored man spoke with greed in his eyes, looking at Ye Chen. They had witnessed Ye Chen obtaining the Death Star Stone from Tianyin Palace and deduced he might have other treasures. Taking over the Six Paths Sect might complete their alchemy and weapon refining materials.
Upon hearing this, the armored man looked at the speaker and shook his head calmly.
"You underestimate this Ye Chen. Trying to seize his treasures isn’t simple. Moreover, our Sacred Flames Sect has always acted justly. The Six Paths Sect hasn’t provoked us, so why should we act against them?"
The armored man’s words made the disciple beside him show a hint of shame; indeed, they were from the Sacred Flames Sect, the top Second-rate Force in Moon Soul Domain.
Fairness was the creed of Sacred Flames Sect; its disciples prided themselves on justice. Robbing others was seen as shameful by the Sacred Flames Sect.
At this moment, the armored man rejected his fellow’s suggestion, flashing forward as flames soared to the sky, no longer concealing his presence, openly heading toward Ye Chen and his group below.
"Hmm?"
At this juncture, Ye Chen sensed a powerful aura approaching and slightly raised his eyebrows. He had noticed people nearby when he emerged from the lake but hadn’t paid attention; now the hidden person showed himself.
Then Ye Chen looked up, seeing a figure enwreathed in fiery light descending from the sky.
With a resolute expression and a Vast Righteous Qi emanating from his body, it was clear the newcomer was from a Righteous Sect, causing Ye Chen’s icy gaze to soften slightly.
"This is... Yu Wenhuo!"
At this moment, Yang Qianyu’s eyes narrowed as he recognized the newcomer.
Upon hearing Yang Qianyu’s words, Ye Chen’s eyes flickered; he had heard of Yu Wenhuo’s name, Chief Disciple of the top-ranked Sacred Flames Sect in Moon Soul Domain’s Second-rate forces.
Yu Wenhuo was renowned in Moon Soul Domain; it’s said that at his birth, phenomena descended, endless flames illuminating the sky, with a natural Vast Holy Fire within him, marking him as an extraordinary talent.
Now meeting Yu Wenhuo, Ye Chen nodded secretly; indeed, the rumors were true, Yu Wenhuo was quite talented, with overwhelming righteousness evident, a Righteous Sect member. His strength fitting his fame, as a Half-step Qiankun Realm expert feared by many in the secret realm.
At this moment, Yu Wenhuo looked at Ye Chen, smiling freely, then clasped his hands and said: "I am Yu Wenhuo, wondering if you would be interested in having a conversation."
