“I didn’t believe it in the beginning as well!” Chen Zhou said, “But a received a transmission from the Mortal Emperor just now. The Mortal Emperor said that their Soul Tablets have burnt up. In other words, they are really dead. However, I don’t know if they died at Tang Ye’s hands or not. But I think that it’s definitely related to him even if he wasn’t the one who killed them!” Their expressions instantly changed upon hearing this. Chen Zhou said, “This Sword Emperor is extremely mysterious. Not only does he possess numerous Dao Artifacts, he’s even able to conceal his aura. Moreover, his strength far surpasses any profounder at the same realm of cultivation. He’s the most monstrous genius I’ve even seen, and he’ll definitely become another formidable enemy of the Mortal Emperor if he’s allowed to mature. I’m truly unable to figure out why the heavens and the earth would allow such a monstrous genius to appear here when it has chosen the Mortal Emperor as its representative? Was his presence allowed in order to temper the Mortal Emperor?” “It must be like that!” Wu Cang said, “Didn’t huge amounts of monstrous geniuses surge into appearance when the Mortal Emperor appeared in the continent during the ancient times? But didn’t all of them submit before the feet of the Mortal Emperor in the end? Even though the Sword Emperor is a monstrous genius, he’ll still be a steppingstone for the Mortal Emperor in the end!” “I hope so!” said Chen Zhou. He was completely indifferent when he heard Tang Ye’s name while he was in the central territory in the past. After all, Tang Ye was merely at the Spirit Realm. So how monstrous could Tang Ye be? Yet now, he noticed that this Sword Emperor was such a monstrous genius that even he was slightly fearful! He wasn’t afraid of Tang Ye’s current strength, he was afraid of Tang Ye’s future strength. He could imagine that once Tang Ye stepped foot into the Exalt Realm, then it would probably be impossible for anyone beneath the Monarch Realm to kill Tang Ye! “Brother Chen , should we continue pursuing Tang Ye, or....” Asked Wu Cang. Chen Zhou shook his head and said, “There are only three illusion formations left outside the Saint Ruins. The Mortal Emperor has ordered us to immediately return to the central territory, and there’ll naturally be others to deal with Tang Ye in our stead. Alas, I presume the Mortal Emperor is displeased with us, otherwise, he wouldn’t dispatch others to replace us. I originally thought that killed a Spirit Realm profounder would be extremely easy for us. But I never expected that not only were we unable to kill him, we even lost two of our own. We’ve really lost face for our Assassin Battalion this time.” “The members of the Asura Battalion will definitely ridicule us if we return like this!” Wu Cang said, “Why don’t we avoid rushing to the central territory right away and wait for Tang Ye to arrive exhausted before us at the Ocean of Anarchy? Tang Ye’s objective is the Saint Ruins, and the Ocean of Anarchy is the way to the central territory. So, he’ll definitely have to past through there, and we’ll definitely be able to wait for him to come to us if we wait there!” Chen Zhou was slightly tempted by this suggestion because he really didn’t want to return just like this. After all, it was truly quite embarrassing. Even though Tang Ye was an extraordinarily monstrous genius, would others care about that detail? In their eyes, the only fact that remained would be that the five of them had pursued a Spirit Realm profounder, yet not only were they unable to kill their target, they’d even lost two of their own. Moreover, they’d even returned with their tails between their legs.... Chen Zhou hesitated for a moment before he decided. “Let’s go to the Ocean of Anarchy. I refuse to believe that he’ll give up on heading to the central territory!” As soon as he finished speaking, their figures flashed and vanished on the spot. Tang Ye appeared where they stood not long after they’d left. He was originally prepared to head to the Ocean of Anarchy just now, but Black One and Black Two suddenly received a message from Chen Zhou. Chen Zhou had merely intended to inform the other two, but he probably hadn’t imagined that Black One and Black Two had received the message as well. Tang Ye naturally refused to miss such an opportunity. So, he’d snuck over. Moreover, it was fortunate that he’d snuck over because if he just headed to the Ocean of Anarchy without coming here, then he would have definitely fallen into their trap. Even though he wasn’t afraid of them, he didn’t want to have them chasing after him. After all, his objective was the Saint Ruins, and the southern territory would truly be finished if he were late and allowed Luo Jun to obtain the World Portrait! Tang Ye fell silent on the spot for some time, and then his figure flashed onto his sword and shot towards the Ocean of Anarchy. After he eavesdropped on their conversation, Tang Ye knew that he had to speed up his journey to the central territory. Unfortunately, those three bastards actually refused to return to the central territory and intended to continue obstructing him at the Ocean of Anarchy. Tang Ye wouldn’t have minded playing with them if it were at any ordinary time. However, he really didn’t have the mood to fight them right now! The World Portrait was the most important thing! Tang Ye stopped flying on his sword when he was about to reach the Ocean of Anarchy because doing that would undoubtedly be like giving away his position to the three assassins. Clack! Clack! Clack! Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves resounded from behind Tang Ye. Tang Ye stopped moving and turned around to look. He saw a group dashing swiftly towards him, and there were a few hundred people in that group. A wisp of surprise flashed through Tang Ye’s eyes because this group was using Windbreaker Horses, and every single one of the people in that group was at the King Realm at least! They noticed Tang Ye as well, and they immediately tightened their grip on their weapons while their eyes were filled with vigilance. Tang Ye didn’t want to cause trouble, so he flashed over to the side and made way for them. The group whistled past Tang Ye. At this moment, Tang Ye noticed that there was a carriage amidst this group, and the guards surrounded it tightly. Obviously, the status and identity of that person within the carriage wasn’t simple at all. However, it had nothing to do with him. Right at this moment, the group suddenly stopped moving.
