Chapter 373: Chapter 197: Internal Disputes Within the Wusheng Three Life Gates

Knock knock knock.

The wooden door of the cave dwelling was gently tapped, and the restriction imitated the sound of knocking.

A voice that made Ye Chen unconsciously clench his fists came into the cave dwelling, "Is Younger Brother Ye Chen inside?"

"Senior Brother, let’s talk later." Ye Chen put the Sound Transmission Talisman into his storage bag, avoiding having it on him, lest any movement be spied upon by the other party.

The Sound Transmission Talisman is not a Communication Stone; anyone’s Divine Sense can spy on it. If Senior Brother’s subsequent words of resentment were to be spied upon, causing Senior Brother to be hated by the other party, he would not rest in peace even in death.

After putting away the Sound Transmission Talisman, Ye Chen casually walked out of the cave dwelling, his face not showing the fawning smile of others, just cupping his fists in a salute, "Elder Li, I wonder what brings you here suddenly?"

The visitor was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator dressed in a light golden magic robe, his temples graying, but the marks of age were relatively shallow on his face and hair. His cold eyes were as sharp as swords, extremely piercing when falling on Ye Chen; his movements carried the majesty of a superior, a major sect’s Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Even more extraordinary than Fang Xiaolin from before.

Li Cultivator feigned a thoughtful look, speaking in a deep voice, "News from the sect has arrived, the first batch of cultivators from the Outer Sea of Celestial Demon have already entered the Spiritless Mortal World, heading towards the Far West, but they are not cultivators from the Three Life Gates."

"Not cultivators from the Three Life Gates?" Ye Chen appeared puzzled, but was actually thinking about what trick this person was up to again.

Li Cultivator nodded, sighed, and said, "They are all Heterodox Wanderers, Evil Cultivators, and Tribulation Cultivators from the Celestial Demon Sea. The Three Life Gates intends to have them advance first, use them as cannon fodder, and those Heterodox Wanderers, Evil Cultivators naturally have their own selfish motives, otherwise why would they willingly be driven by the Three Life Gates.

Heterodox Wanderers, Tribulation Cultivators from the Celestial Demon Sea are skilled in Flying Escape Techniques, and even more adept in assassination techniques among the Heterodox Dao. Moreover, they possess Soul Cultivators not found in our Divine Fall Mountain Range, whose assassination methods are particularly outstanding in all branches of the Heterodox Dao, even Soul Cultivators merely at the Qi Cultivation Eighth and Ninth Layers can assassinate Qi Cultivation Perfection Cultivators."

"Thank you Elder Li for informing me, I will immediately order the placement of Restriction Talismans and Spirit Arrays around each side peak to guard against Evil Cultivators’ assassinations." Ye Chen immediately cupped his fists in thanks, regardless of the other’s intentions, this news is indeed very important to him and Deadman Peak.

No matter how hard one tries, it’s impossible to preserve Deadman Peak in this battle, but he will try his best.

Li Cultivator’s lips curled with a hint of mocking smile, also flashed a hint of anger, but did not immediately act, "No, no, no, your Restriction Talismans and Spirit Arrays are too low in quality and poor in grade. Not to mention Soul Cultivators, even ordinary Evil Cultivators can easily bypass them.

These Evil Cultivators come too quickly, the speed at which our sect disciples gather and mobilize is far from enough. I originally intended to set up Tier Two Restriction Spirit Arrays around Deadman Peak, but found that the heavenly materials and earthly treasures I brought this time are far from sufficient, so I came specifically to visit today, wanting Younger Brother Ye to gather some heavenly materials and earthly treasures, Heaven and Earth Spiritual Medicine from Deadman Peak, regardless of grade, I can use them to set up Restriction Spirit Arrays."

Seeing the other party laying their cards on the table, Ye Chen’s expression couldn’t help but stiffen, and the anger in his heart was about to burst out, but he ultimately suppressed it. Fine, fine, arranging Restriction Spirit Arrays even requires Heaven and Earth Spiritual Medicine, is that right?

Facing a dire threat, instead of thinking about defense, they come to capitalize on the situation, treating Deadman Peak as a place to make money?

Before Ye Chen could refuse, Li Cultivator blocked Ye Chen’s mouth with cold eyes, "I advise Younger Brother Ye to think carefully before speaking. My master is Elder Yan, Foundation Establishment Perfection at Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks, under the command of Golden Core Zhenren, tasked with guarding the Far West, commanding the army of cultivators, and deciding where to place defenses. What my master says goes.

In other words, if I suggest to my master to place the defensive line at Cloud Mist Peak, or Little Inference Mountain, then Deadman Peak will not retain an inch of soil."

Originally, he still wanted to put on a show, to have Ye Chen obediently offer up Deadman Peak’s assets, but unexpectedly Ye Chen was impervious to coaxing and threatening. So, he doesn’t even bother to pretend anymore, to maintain any righteous image as Immortal Family.

Won’t give?

If you don’t comply, then I’ll annihilate the sect!

At this moment, a phrase popped into Ye Chen’s mind—Thousand-Pound Tyrant Axe!

One could imagine if he resists, the other party would charge Deadman Peak with the crime of treachery in battle, who would speak for them then? In this way, not only would Deadman Peak suffer but it would also harm Senior Brother from Eastern Celestial City.

But he was truly angry.

If possible, he really wanted to chop off Li Yan’s head with an axe and place it at the door for Purple Flame Ming to kick around like a ball.

"I understand..." Ye Chen managed to speak with difficulty.

Li Yan then smiled in satisfaction, "Wouldn’t it have been better to do this earlier? Why tear our faces apart between us?"

Ye Chen, holding back his anger, spoke again, "It was I... who couldn’t see the bigger picture."

"I’ll give you seven days, if the amount of heavenly materials and earthly treasures can’t satisfy me, you’ll have to use other things to fill the gap." Li Yan spoke coldly again, turning to walk outside, not hesitating to glance at the low growling Purple Flame Ming.

"As a vassal, you should recognize your position, not killing you doesn’t mean I need you, it’s just that I’m too lazy to act."

As his words fell.

Li Yan raised his hand, gathering Spiritual Qi to knock Purple Flame Ming back, heavily crashing onto the cave wall and unable to get up for a long while, the defensive spirit array protecting the cave dwelling was almost shattered by this blow.

Just at this moment, Ye Chen couldn’t bear it anymore, the Thousand-Pound Tyrant Axe fell into his hands, the killing intent suddenly appearing.

Yet Li Yan didn’t even turn around, calmly leaving one last remark as he transformed into a Startled Swan and left Deadman Peak.

"One chop, you’ll die, Deadman Peak will be destroyed, and your Senior Brother from Eastern Celestial City won’t have a good end either."
