Chapter 3961: Chapter 3961: The Strategist’s Stance! Ye Chen!

For a moment, Xu Ling looked at Ye Chen, his expression also somewhat uncertain, because he not only saw the gates of hell phenomenon on Ye Chen, but also the remaining fluctuations of battle and Shi Fei’s aura!!!

At the same time, he also discovered that he couldn’t see through the level of cultivation of this aloof young man...

What does all this imply?

The answer seems to be on the brink of revelation!

Li Shan looked at Ye Chen and frowned, saying: "Brother Xun, what’s the matter? This kid must possess some kind of treasure that hides his cultivation, right? That spy lurking on the merchant ship once reported, but that spy had some kind of divine power to detect cultivation. He also said that this person’s strength wasn’t formidable, not worth worrying too much about.

That person was merely a presence in the Qiankun First Layer Heaven, although he ultimately died at the hands of this kid. However, since he said it’s not strong, even if there’s a misjudgment, at most it’s the strength of Qiankun Second Layer Heaven, right?

After all, it won’t exceed Late-stage Qiankun Realm; otherwise, he wouldn’t have chosen to escape when facing Shi Fei, would he?"

"Not worth worrying?"

Xu Ling’s forehead faintly broke into a cold sweat, he glanced at Li Shan coldly, saying: "Do you know what he did? So you say it’s not worth worrying? If it’s not worth worrying, why don’t you try attacking him?"

Li Shan’s face changed slightly upon hearing this, his eyes flickered non-stop. Although he was almost certain this kid wasn’t a match for Xu Ling, he couldn’t guarantee that he could defeat him...

This person could effortlessly kill the Qiankun Realm spy, very likely hiding his strength. With his current injured strength, even if he defeated Ye Chen, he would likely aggravate his injury or even shake his martial arts foundation...

But what concerned him the most was why Xu Ling suddenly became so timid? And what did his words mean?

What on earth had this kid done?

It was as if he heard the question in Li Shan’s heart, Ye Chen suddenly waved his hand, throwing a round object before Xu Ling and Li Shan.

The two focused their gaze on that object, and couldn’t help but shrink their pupils!

That thing was actually Shi Fei’s head!

Xu Ling had been anticipating this, so he was somewhat prepared, merely confirming his thoughts...

But Li Shan’s expression completely changed!

What’s going on!? Why did Shi Fei die at the hands of this kid!?

For a moment, he stood frozen as if he were an ice sculpture, motionless, his mind blank!

How did this kid achieve this!!!

Could it be that his judgment of his strength was wrong?

Just then, a fierce wind howled, a breath suddenly erupted from Ye Chen’s body, he stared coldly at Xu Ling and Li Shan, saying: "What? Do you also want to stay here on Soul-devouring Island and accompany Shi Fei, or are you going to scram?"

This time, Li Shan wasn’t particularly affected, but Xu Ling turned pale!

His eyes trembled fiercely, as if he had seen a ghost, he exclaimed: "Universe Aura? You, you actually possess Universe Aura? You’re a Late-stage Qiankun Realm presence!"

Li Shan, upon hearing this, felt increasingly terrified, his heart seemed to stop beating!

All of this gave him an extremely unreasonable feeling!

Xu Ling had the Golden Pupil Ability, extremely sensitive to various energies, and had almost stepped into Qiankun Realm Seventh Layer Heaven himself. Although he hadn’t yet grasped the Universe Aura that only late-stage individuals could handle, he had gained some understanding of this energy and definitely wouldn’t mistake it!

Only a true Late-stage Qiankun Realm presence can possess Universe Aura!

The Universe Aura, which seemed overly diluted initially, was magnified due to Xu Ling’s Golden Pupil Ability and the previous psychological hints!

Li Shan, witnessing the change in Xu Ling’s expression, shook his head wildly, saying: "Impossible! It can’t be like this! Brother Xun, this kid must be using some trick, don’t be fooled by him!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Ling was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, his eyes surged with murderous intent, he glared fiercely at Li Shan, saying: "Are you courting death? Shut your damn mouth!"

This fool led himself to this ghost place, and not only did he gain nothing, but he also provoked a Late-stage Qiankun Realm presence?

Now he’s still here stirring up trouble, courting death is one thing, but trying to drag Xu Ling down with him as well?

If it weren’t for Ye Chen’s presence, Xu Ling would have wanted to crush Li Shan directly!

Li Shan, frightened by Xu Ling’s killing intent, reluctantly closed his mouth with a grim expression.

Xu Ling wore a smiling face, saluted Ye Chen, and said: "Senior, this is all a misunderstanding. We came to this Soul-devouring Island only to execute that villain Shi Fei. Since that villain has already been executed by you, there’s nothing for us here. If there’s nothing else from you, we’ll take our leave."

Ye Chen replied blandly: "Go ahead, if it weren’t for my battle with Shi Fei causing some exhaustion, I would have already taken you down."

Xu Ling nodded quietly, he could tell Ye Chen was previously severely wounded, which explained why a Late-stage Qiankun Realm presence would waste time speaking with them here.

Li Shan looked with deep regret, knowing that Shi Fei possessed a Supreme Treasure. He wanted an excuse to acquire it from Xu Ling, but now there’s no chance...

However, he completely didn’t believe Ye Chen was a Late-stage Qiankun Realm presence, because if that were the case, why didn’t he join forces with Aunt Lin to fight Shi Fei initially?

Why, after obtaining his intelligence, didn’t he choose to defeat Shi Fei head-on, but instead chose to enter this Soul-devouring Island?

All of this reflects contradictions and mysteries!

Yet, he frustratingly couldn’t explain how this kid managed to place Shi Fei’s head right in front of them!

Although he didn’t have Xu Ling’s ability, he could tell from experience that the head was cut off while Shi Fei was still alive!

Moreover, if this kid really had problems, why was he acting so calmly now?

Hence, he didn’t have the courage to attack Ye Chen solo.

Xu Ling and Li Shan left dejectedly, and naturally, they didn’t set up the formation, the ship marked with Golden Pupil patterns swiftly departed from Soul-devouring Island.

Seeing the other party completely leave Soul-devouring Island, Qin Hongyue let out a heavy breath of dense energy, even with her calm demeanor, she had been so tense she nearly stopped breathing!

She looked at Ye Chen, who remained calm and composed, like an unmovable mountain, her beautiful eyes couldn’t help but shine brightly!

Driving away Xu Ling and Li Shan wasn’t a simple task, the reason Ye Chen seemed to accomplish it so effortlessly is tied to the careful planning, turning to counter the opponent’s strengths, leaving no flaws undetected, and other meticulous strategies!

Such composure and cunning made Qin Hongyue, with her merchant roots, greatly admire him!

Ye Chen and Qin Hongyue returned to the place where their ship was hidden, retrieved it, and left Soul-devouring Island. Ye Chen turned back to glance at the island shrouded in purple mist, which contained many rare soul beasts. If there’s an opportunity, he might return in the future to hunt some soul beasts and collect Beast Soul Crystals.

Yet, that flood dragon was already one of the top-tier soul beasts on Soul-devouring Island. Acquiring its Beast Soul Crystal is more rewarding than hunting hundreds or even thousands of low-grade soul beasts!

The island covered in purple mist gradually disappeared from Ye Chen’s sight, as the blue ship continued onward toward the Red Sea.
