Chapter 3970: Ye Chen’s Identity (First Update)
Chapter 3970: Chapter 3970: Ye Chen’s Identity (First Update)
Ye Chen and Lin Jianqing stared at each other, and in his heart, he silently asked Xuan Han Yu, "Fairy Xuan, why did you want me to say that?"
Originally, Ye Chen had also planned to come clean with Lin Jianqing. After all, he and Qin Hongyue were no longer in a purely cooperative relationship. He didn’t want to involve Beihan Commerce too deeply because of his own matters, nor did he want to fight with Lin Jianqing here...
After all, with Lin Jianqing’s strength, the two late-stage Qiankun Realm tributes of Beihan Commerce were likely not a match for him.
If things continued like this, the situation might escalate to an uncontrollable point.
However, since Xuan Han Yu asked him to do this, it certainly wouldn’t be simple.
Sure enough, the next moment, Xuan Han Yu spoke, "If you hadn’t obtained the Qi of Heaven and Earth, I would never let you do this, because doing so would almost certainly get you killed! Even worse than being caught by Lin Jianqing and taken back to the Law Enforcement Hall..."
Ye Chen’s eyes flickered. Even if he were captured and taken to the Law Enforcement Hall now, Qin Hongyue might be able to rescue him before the execution. Although Ye Chen didn’t like entrusting his fate to others, under the current circumstances, it wasn’t an unacceptable outcome.
Xuan Han Yu continued, "But now, it’s worth a try!"
Ye Chen asked, "What do you mean?"
Xuan Han Yu said gravely, "In the Chenyue Sea, almost everyone possesses a Chenyue Token, even the royal family is no exception. But! There is a group of extraordinarily special martial artists, who do not! They not only lack a Chenyue Token, but they also do not exist in the official records of the Chenyue Sea!
Few know of their existence, but even the royal family must give way to them!"
Ye Chen was shocked upon hearing this, even the royal family must give way?
This level of treatment is comparable to the Elder Council, right?
Who exactly are these martial artists?
At this moment, Lin Jianqing spoke again, coldly saying, "No Chenyue Token? Then you admit you are the spy who infiltrated the West Sea? In that case, come with me."
With that, he burst with Dao Integration and was about to reach out to seize Ye Chen!
Qin Hongyue’s heart skipped a beat, anxiously looking at Huang Qi, the meaning in her eyes was unmistakable!
Huang Qi noticed this, inwardly smiling bitterly. He hadn’t expected the usually calm and rational Ms. Qin to show such a flustered expression?
Moreover, to make such a decision that offers no benefits and lacks reason...
Nevertheless, he did not hesitate, launching his own Dao Integration to block Lin Jianqing.
His life had been saved by Qin Xiaofeng, and he was long prepared to give everything for Beihan Commerce, for Qin Xiaofeng, and Qin Hongyue.
Lin Jianqing’s expression was indifferent, suddenly surging with sword qi, intending to push Huang Qi back...
But just then, Ye Chen suddenly spoke, "The moon sinks into the sea, leaving only the Guanghan Palace, four directions and five colors, heed my command!"
When Qin Hongyue and the others heard this, they were puzzled as to what Ye Chen’s suddenly cryptic words meant?
To their surprise, Lin Jianqing looked as if struck by lightning, his expression changed drastically, staring at Ye Chen in utter shock, shouting, "Where did you hear those words from?"
His eyes were full of disbelief, and yet he stopped his actions, remarkably deciding not to attack Ye Chen for now!
For a moment, everyone in Beihan Commerce stared at Ye Chen in astonishment, even Qin Hongyue seemed bewildered...
How could Ye Chen, with just those words, shock Lin Jianqing?
What is his true identity?
Ye Chen looked calmly at Lin Jianqing and said, "I am a Chenyue Dark Child."
Chenyue Dark Child?
Qin Hongyue and the others exchanged glances, eyes filled with intrigue, evidently unaware of what a Chenyue Dark Child was.
Only Lin Jianqing’s complexion changed completely the moment Ye Chen uttered those four words...
As the Law Enforcement Hall Master, although he had never met a Chenyue Dark Child, he knew all too well what their origin was!
These individuals were chosen from a selection of sinister talents by the Elder Council of the Chenyue Sea from birth and nurtured by them. Besides the Elder Council, no one knew of their existence, nor did anyone know the purpose for which the Elder Council cultivated these Chenyue Dark Children.
Lin Jianqing only knew that the Chenyue Dark Child would leave no trace of their existence, yet in the Chenyue Sea, they held an unimaginable status because they reported directly to the Elder Council and even held the authority to execute the royal family!
There is even a legend that in the future, the ultimate being who would lead the people of Chenyue Sea back to the Moon God Clan would emerge from among these Chenyue Dark Children!
Since the Elder Council even erased their birth records, for the majority of those in the Chenyue Sea, these Chenyue Dark Children were naturally incredibly mysterious beings.
Even with Qin Hongyue’s status, she had never heard of this name!
According to Lin Jianqing’s knowledge, the true identity of the Chenyue Dark Child was only known to the Elder Council, and while the Guanghan Palace Masters and the Law Enforcement Hall Masters did not know their identities, they were aware of their existence.
As well as a secret phrase to prove their identity!
Precisely the sixteen words Ye Chen had just uttered!
This secret phrase was a confidentiality within Guanghan Palace itself. If Ye Chen were indeed just a mere infiltrated spy, how could he possibly know this secret phrase?
It is said that the Elder Council would give the Chenyue Dark Children many unfathomable trials. Could Ye Chen’s infiltration into the Chenyue Sea be one such trial?
For a moment, Lin Jianqing stared at Ye Chen, his gaze flickering wildly, his inner thoughts becoming increasingly indecisive...
For the status of a Chenyue Dark Child was not beneath that of the Guanghan Palace Master!
Even he would have no right to act against them once their underlying identity was revealed!
Beads of sweat began to form on his forehead as he meticulously sifted through his memories regarding the Chenyue Dark Children!
Even as the West Sea Law Enforcement Hall Master, he knew very little about these mysterious dark sons. The only shared characteristic among them was without exception, they were incomparably extraordinary martial arts prodigies!
Lin Jianqing was already considered a major talent within the West Sea, but compared to these Chenyue Dark Children, his talents wouldn’t even count as average!
Thus, it’s imaginable just how terrifying these Chenyue Dark Children are!
Lin Jianqing took a deep breath, saying, "You claim to be a Chenyue Dark Child? Could you remove the treasure concealing your level of cultivation and show me your martial arts realm?"
Upon hearing this, everyone’s expressions changed, Huang Qi and Tang You also looking at Ye Chen with their eyes lighting up!
Why?
Because they sensed a very faint Qi of Heaven and Earth from Ye Chen!
