Chapter 3548: Chapter 3548: News (First Update)

Ye Chen stopped thinking further, and his consciousness instantly entered the Samsara Graveyard.

He stood in front of the shimmering stone tablet, eyes slightly narrowed.

Engraved on the stone tablet was an extremely mysterious dragon phantom giant shield.

Runes flowed on the giant shield, as if carrying an overwhelming might.

"In the past, when new powerhouses emerged, there would always be a name or title displayed."

"Why is this powerhouse represented by such a profound image of a giant shield?"

"Could this powerhouse’s weapon be a shield? Or something else?"

Ye Chen cupped his hands toward the stone tablet: "Senior, please come out for a meeting."

However, the response he got was silence.

The counterpart had no intention of even answering Ye Chen!

"Senior?"

Ye Chen called out a few times, yet the result was the same!

The powerhouse simply had no intention of meeting Ye Chen!

Ye Chen didn’t know if this was out of arrogance or if there was something else hidden.

But the urgent thing was to find Ye Luo’er first.

...

In Xing Han City, a small town on the edge of the Nine Death Realm, weeds were overgrown everywhere, and the necrosis was extremely dense, even converging into ghost-like dead spirits floating around. Bones were scattered everywhere, and various ugly insects flew wildly in the sky, buzzing noisily.

Ye Chen and the Sky-covering Demon Emperor stepped into this desolate town together. The town was too small, with only one main street. There were only a few businesses, a teahouse, a weapon shop, and a seemingly brothel, but actually a three-story building selling intelligence secretly.

Ye Chen had no interest in lingering in Xing Han City, intending to find out the exact location of the Nine Death Realm here and then immediately head there with the Sky-covering Demon Emperor.

And in this small town, the best place to gather information was a brothel named Huadu Building.

Huadu Building was a very famous intelligence organization in the Outer Realm. They used brothels as a cover but actually sold information in secret. They had branches everywhere, even in such desolate places as Xing Han City.

Ye Chen and the Sky-covering Demon Emperor stepped into Huadu Building. From the outside, it looked like a dilapidated three-story building with a rotten wood scent, but inside, it was a different world.

The hall on the first floor was filled with young ladies, flamboyantly dressed, with beautiful looks and alluring figures in thin clothes, smiling charmingly at the arriving guests.

The hall was also resplendently decorated. The rich Hongmeng Energy flowed throughout, and Ye Chen vaguely sensed a fluctuation of Source Qi, which moved his heart slightly.

Being able to open a store in this Xing Han City was indeed not simple. Even such a small store had people who could master the Power of Source. Huadu Building was worthy of being a top intelligence organization in the Outer Realm.

At the moment, the hall also contained members of the same group as Ye Chen, all here to seek the Nine Death Realm. They mostly gathered in threes or fives, with the weakest being middle-stage Holy Ancestor Realm, each having formidable and extraordinary auras. Ye Chen even noticed individuals whose momentum matched that of the Sky-covering Demon Emperor.

"Those two people..." Ye Chen glanced at two people in a corner of the hall, silently holding teacups, their eyes slightly narrowed. Two individuals of ninth-level Holy Ancestor Realm, their strength was quite impressive.

"May I ask what kind of business the two of you are here for? For pleasure, or to gather information?"

As Ye Chen was pondering, a tall woman, trailing a cascade of pitch-black hair, eyes full of charm, approached and toying with the Sky-covering Demon Emperor said sweetly.

As the woman spoke, she was also discreetly examining Ye Chen. The aura of the Sky-covering Demon Emperor was overwhelmingly terrifying, his entire being exuding demonic qi that could shake the sky, clearly a powerhouse, while Ye Chen was only at the third-level Heavenly God Realm.

Such a combination walking together inevitably seemed strange to people.

The division between their realms was so vast that they shouldn’t be walking together, and clearly, they were not master and servant.

Most who came to Xing Han City were here for the Nine Death Realm.

The Nine Death Realm was a dire place, even those at the ninth-level Holy Ancestor Realm faced extreme danger stepping inside. Why would Ye Chen at the third-level Heavenly God Realm follow the Sky-covering Demon Emperor here? Was he courting death?

While suspicion stirred in her heart, the Sky-covering Demon Emperor spoke indifferently: "Give us a map with the exact location of the Nine Death Realm."

"Hahaha! My friend, taking a kid at the third-level Heavenly God Realm to the Nine Death Realm is asking for death, isn’t it?"

At this moment, a burly man with a surging aura, his entire body emanating rolling demonic qi, stood up in the store, looking at the Sky-covering Demon Emperor and laughed.

This burly man’s strength was decent, already at the middle-stage Holy Ancestor Realm. He was accompanied by four companions, two at his level, and the other two at late-stage Holy Ancestor Realm.

As soon as the burly man spoke, the attentions of everyone in the hall fixed on Ye Chen. The weakest among them was at middle-stage Holy Ancestor Realm, so the sudden appearance of Ye Chen, a Heavenly God Realm, had already caught many eyes.

Ye Chen heard the burly man and was unresponsive, just glancing at him casually. His mind was solely focused on rescuing Ye Luo’er and did not want to get sidetracked or waste time on such trivial people.

However, seeing Ye Chen silent, the burly man thought Ye Chen was scared, chuckled, and said to the Sky-covering Demon Emperor: "My friend, better to ditch this kid and join us five in exploring the Nine Death Realm together."

"Oh?" the Sky-covering Demon Emperor was amused, glanced at Ye Chen beside him, and surprisingly stepped aside, saying: "You’d better discuss this with him."

"Discuss with him?" The burly man was taken aback, then his aura erupted. The whole Huadu Building trembled and Hongmeng Energy rippled as he gave a wry smile, "A little bug at the Heavenly God Realm, I could squash him with a finger!"

"You talk too much."

Ye Chen now looked coldly at the burly man, cold light flashing in his eyes. He understood the real reason behind this man’s targeting was to ensure the Sky-covering Demon Emperor would travel with them. Having someone at the ninth-level Holy Ancestor Realm around would help tackle dangers better.

But the man’s attitude was too arrogant, so it seemed necessary to teach him a lesson.

"Hmm?" The burly man was surprised that Ye Chen, with his low power, dared talk to him like that, and his eyes widened, an erupting killing intent burst out, intending to overpower Ye Chen with mere aura.

"Boom!"

An overwhelming killing intent swept over, yet Ye Chen’s expression did not change as he looked at the burly man coldly. After all, he was merely late-stage Holy Ancestor Realm; even Xuanyuan Moxie ran away in disgrace after facing Ye Chen. The killing intent of this man was nothing in Ye Chen’s eyes.

Under the engulfing violent killing intent, Ye Chen remained calm, his aura stable without the slightest fluctuation, as if the violent killing intent was nothing more than a gentle breeze.

Seeing this, everyone in the hall narrowed their eyes, discerning something unusual. Though Ye Chen’s realm seemed low, his strength was not simple. Many speculated about Ye Chen’s identity.

After all, being able to resist the killing aura pressure of middle-stage Holy Ancestor Realm with the third-level Heavenly God Realm was no simple feat. His identity might indeed be shockingly significant!
