Chapter 3706: Chapter 3696: Breaking Ties! (Fifth Update)
"Alright, in that case, I’ll give you some face, but if this kid offends Zhenyuan Palace’s people again, not even the person behind you stepping in will help; our Zhenyuan Palace will never let it go!"
Elder Hei Zhi’s expression shifted, speaking coldly, but inwardly he was resentful, not expecting Jun Mo to have connections with the sage-like old man. Otherwise, he would definitely destroy Ye Chen.
"Heh, thank you, Elder."
Seeing Elder Hei Zhi compromised, Jun Mo sneered disdainfully, casually put away his token, and leisurely clasped his fists in thanks.
At this moment, the enraged Zhenyuan Palace disciples saw their elder showing fear toward Jun Mo and could only suppress the anger in their hearts, glaring viciously at Ye Chen without daring to make any moves.
Meanwhile, the two elders Gao Lin finally struggled to pass through the gate of Southern Saint City. Seeing Ye Chen unharmed, they also breathed a sigh of relief.
They were also quite curious about Jun Mo’s identity; the token Jun Mo showed just now was not clear to them, but it could intimidate Elder Hei Zhi, indicating that his background was far from simple.
Jun Mo looked at Ye Chen curiously and asked, "Were you also invited to Zhenyuan Palace?"
"Of course, I am now the Chief Disciple of the Six Paths Sect."
Ye Chen shrugged, his expression somewhat playful; his invitation was unlike others. Zhenyuan Palace invited others as guests, whereas he was invited to be humiliated.
However, upon hearing Ye Chen’s words, Jun Mo’s gaze turned odd, clearly aware of the connection between Zhenyuan Palace and the Six Paths Sect.
"I didn’t expect you to become the Chief Disciple of Zhenyuan Palace, but if so, why be invited to Zhenyuan Palace?"
Jun Mo finally understood why Ye Chen had just conflicted with the people from Zhenyuan Palace; it turned out Ye Chen was already the Chief Disciple of the Six Paths Sect, and this was no wonder.
Meanwhile, Jun Mo’s thoughts were also aligned with those of the Six Paths Sect; knowing Zhenyuan Palace had a bad attitude toward them, why bother coming to get angry?
Ye Chen, however, shook his head deeply without answering Jun Mo’s question; his visit was partly to vent for the Six Paths Sect and partly for the Sacred Origin Heart. But the place was crowded, so he couldn’t inform Jun Mo.
Then, Ye Chen looked at Jun Mo and asked, "Where is Senior Demon Emperor? Why didn’t he come with you?"
"Senior Demon Emperor had other fortuitous encounters and couldn’t accompany me."
Jun Mo replied, an envious gleam in his eyes, clearly indicating that Senior Demon Emperor’s fortune was extraordinary.
Hearing this, Ye Chen also nodded slightly; the better the Sky-covering Demon Emperor’s fortune, the stronger his power, which was beneficial for him.
"Alright, it’s inconvenient to talk here; come with me. I’ve been to Southern Saint City many times; I’ll arrange your accommodation."
Jun Mo said with a smile.
"Okay, and also, I’d like to trouble you with the two elders from Six Paths Sect."
Ye Chen smiled, nodded, and looked at the two elders Gao Lin.
At this moment, seeing Ye Chen’s previous performance, the two elders Gao Lin had already changed their view of him considerably. Plus, Jun Mo seemed to have an extraordinary background, so they also politely smiled at Jun Mo.
"Greetings, two elders."
Jun Mo saw this and politely clasped his fists in return, completely different from his attitude toward Elder Hei Zhi, which made Elder Hei Zhi’s face darker.
Subsequently, Ye Chen and the two elders Gao Lin left together with Jun Mo.
Accompanying them were several of Jun Mo’s companions, totaling seven people, all of whom were at the Heavenly Repairing Realm, with the strongest at the Heavenly Repairing Realm Sixth Layer, quite impressive.
These people were Jun Mo’s friends, acquaintances from the past, with some background in the Outer Realm, and they gathered together due to invitations to Southern Saint City.
Jun Mo was familiar with Southern Saint City, leading Ye Chen through the vast city, introducing each place, and eventually stopping in front of a gigantic restaurant.
This restaurant was like a mountain, towering into the clouds, several dozen stories high, exuding brilliant Divine Radiance and a faint wine aroma, refreshing and invigorating with unusual effects.
Above the restaurant’s entrance hung a plaque with four large characters.
"South Saint Restaurant."
"This is a restaurant founded by Southern Saint long ago; it’s the largest, most luxurious, and oldest in Southern Saint City."
Jun Mo explained to Ye Chen, familiar with the history of South Saint Restaurant.
Listening to Jun Mo’s introduction, Ye Chen and the group followed him into South Saint Restaurant.
Upon entering, they were greeted by beautiful, otherworldly, charming, and alluring receptionists.
Seeing these receptionists, Ye Chen raised an eyebrow slightly; this South Saint Restaurant was indeed extraordinary, with receptionists reaching the Holy Ancestor Realm, the weakest at Holy Ancestor Realm third-layer.
"Are you gentlemen here to stay at the restaurant?" a receptionist asked charmingly, surprisingly glancing at Ye Chen, who was rarely seen in Southern Saint City with such low realm.
"Yes, Sky Room, book us twelve rooms."
Jun Mo nodded calmly, being exceptionally generous without even batting an eyelash.
The receptionists were delighted upon hearing this, quickly making arrangements for Jun Mo and providing the largest private room for dining and discussion purposes.
At this moment, it was mealtime, and Ye Chen’s group entered a private room on the seventh floor of the restaurant. From the outside, it looked quite ordinary, but upon entering, they found a hidden world within.
The private room was a small space with rock gardens and flowing water, designed like an estate, and there was even a spiritual spring within, making the spiritual energy inside extremely dense, almost making it a precious place for cultivation.
At this moment, all the drinks were served, and while everyone was chatting and eating, Jun Mo introduced his several friends to Ye Chen.
However, it was obvious that Ye Chen’s realm was too low, and these friends did not take him seriously, even curious as to why Jun Mo had such a good relationship with Ye Chen.
Despite looking down on Ye Chen, Jun Mo’s friends still gave him face and appeared to be having a good conversation with him, except for a black-robed man in the third level of the Heavenly Repairing Realm, who had a particularly poor attitude toward Ye Chen.
At this moment, the black-robed man, hearing Jun Mo introduce Ye Chen to them, was holding his wine glass and looked at Ye Chen with some doubt.
"Heavenly God Realm sixth level? Jun Mo, why would you make friends with such a person?"
The black-robed man was named Du Xiaobo, a friend Jun Mo made in Southern Saint City a hundred years ago, and he also had some background in the Outer Realm.
At this moment, Du Xiaobo looked arrogantly at Ye Chen, "A Chief Disciple of a declining sect, someone with such poor talent and bloodline, forgive me for saying this, but I’m not interested in getting to know him."
Hearing this, Ye Chen’s expression remained calm, saying nothing, while Jun Mo’s face suddenly turned cold.
"Zing!"
Jun Mo suddenly drew his blood sword and slashed out, the violent blood light reflecting, the sword edge with a hint of cold light abruptly hitting the ground.
In front of Du Xiaobo, the ground was split by Jun Mo’s slash, and Jun Mo’s face was sullen, anger rising in his eyes, as he said coldly, "In that case, I now have no friends like you, leave!"
Upon these words, all of Jun Mo’s friends changed their expressions in shock, as they too did not take Ye Chen seriously, but out of respect for Jun Mo, they did not speak out like Du Xiaobo.
However, the people present could not have imagined that Jun Mo would sever ties with formidable and well-connected long-time friends for someone like Ye Chen, a destitute disciple of the Heavenly God Realm sixth level.
At this moment, the only one whose expression remained calm was still Ye Chen, as he remained oblivious to what was happening, calmly eating his meal.
"Jun Mo, you would sever ties with me for someone like this!"
"Our two families have been close for years, surely my family background surpasses the Six Paths Sect?"
Du Xiaobo did not anticipate Jun Mo’s intense reaction at all, anger flashing in his eyes, killing intent rising from him.
"Ye Chen is my brother, by saying this about him, you are talking about me."
Jun Mo coldly looked at Du Xiaobo, the vast blood essence rising from him, an ancient aura spreading around.
"I’ll give you three breaths of time, if you still don’t leave, then stay here."
Jun Mo’s killing intent erupted too, coldly watching Du Xiaobo.
At this moment, Du Xiaobo’s face was extremely unsightly, looking at others, he saw they didn’t dare meet his gaze, clearly choosing the more powerful background of Jun Mo over him.
"Fine! You’ll regret this!"
Du Xiaobo gritted his teeth angrily, glaring at Ye Chen viciously and then turned to leave.
At this time, due to Du Xiaobo’s incident, everyone lost their appetite, and the banquet soon ended.
Elders Gao Lin and another, a bit weary from the journey, directly went back to their rooms to rest, while Ye Chen returned to the room with Jun Mo.
"I originally wanted to introduce you to some friends, with them you’d have an easier time here, but I didn’t expect such an incident to occur."
Alone together, Jun Mo looked at Ye Chen and said with a hint of apology.
"This has nothing to do with you."
Ye Chen shook his head, not blaming Jun Mo, attributing the incident to Du Xiaobo’s snobbish attitude alone.
Subsequently, Ye Chen asked Jun Mo about matters regarding the Sky-covering Demon Emperor and the Blood Dragon, learning that their situations were currently fine, which put his mind at ease.
With the acquisition of the Blood Red Tree, Jun Mo not only rebuilt the Ancient Blood Nether Body and broke through to the second level of the Heavenly Repairing Realm, but his combat strength greatly increased, allowing him to contend with the third and even the fourth level of the Heavenly Repairing Realm, making Ye Chen acknowledge the extraordinariness of the Ancient Blood Nether Body.
Since it was Ye Chen’s first time in Southern Saint City and being unfamiliar with Zhenyuan Palace, Jun Mo decided to take Ye Chen around Southern Saint City.
After all, Southern Saint City is one of the more prosperous places in the Moon Soul Domain, with many places to enjoy, and Jun Mo was also aware of the connection between the Six Paths Sect and Zhenyuan Palace.
Ye Chen needed to familiarize himself with Southern Saint City beforehand to handle any trouble that might arise.
Then, Ye Chen and Jun Mo left the South Saint Restaurant, wandering around Southern Saint City.
Along the way, Ye Chen encountered many disciples from Zhenyuan Palace, who clearly knew that Ye Chen was the Chief Disciple from the Six Paths Sect visiting, and their attitudes towards him were quite hostile.
However, the matter of Ye Chen beating up Huang Haoran had spread in Southern Saint City, coupled with Jun Mo by his side—someone even the elders dared not provoke—and the disciples of Zhenyuan Palace dared not act recklessly.
While wandering in Southern Saint City, Ye Chen also saw the location of Zhenyuan Palace. Zhenyuan Palace was situated in the very center of Southern Saint City, grand and imposing, emanating endless golden radiance, faintly imbued with an aura of mighty holy energy.
