Chapter 927: I Really Did Not Kill Him
When Xiao Chen saw the situation, he did bother with the old man after taking the old man’s spatial ring. Instead, he started collecting the scattered pieces of the Frost Moon Palace.
He circulated the Azure Dragon Body Nourishing Art and consumed the divine materials the pieces contained. These felt like a cup of water splashed on a burning cart of firewood; he barely gained a negligible amount of Dragon Energy.
“Damn it! Brother Ye, the fifteen minutes are about up. The might of the Dark Demonic Flame will recover to its peak again,” Xing Qingyun said worriedly as he carried the old man, who had been beaten almost to death, and landed back on the warship.
Xiao Chen checked and sensed the surrounding Dark Demonic Flame becoming hotter. Even his Rank 3 Sage Body could not endure it; he needed to circulate his Law Energy to deal with it.
“That’s not a problem. It is just fifty kilometers. That cannot stop me!”
Xiao Chen landed before the warship and raised both his hands, lifting the entire warship straight up. He merged his Vital Qi, Quintessence, and Magic Energy, expending them without restraint. Then, he ran headlong through the Dark Demonic Flame.
The warship became like a beam of light, madly flying forward. Aboard it, Xing Qingyun staggered left and right, unable to gain a stable footing.
Right before the Dark Demonic Flame regained its full might, the warship finally broke out of the fifty kilometers of Dark Demonic Flame, officially arriving in the Heavenly Ruin Wasteland.
Xiao Chen held up the huge warship as he landed, kicking up dust as the ground trembled.
Carrying the already dead Frost Moon Palace old man, Xing Qingyun stood up groggily. As he breathed in the fresh air, he laughed loudly and exclaimed, “We are finally safe!”
However, he slowly discovered that something was wrong. Cold gazes heavy with dense killing Qi focused on him from high above.
Xing Qingyun carefully looked up. He saw Yun Tianhe, Gao Baiyu, and the King Killing Alliance’s people all looking at him expressionlessly.
Strange. Why are the people of the Frost Moon Palace looking at me like I killed their parents?
Suddenly, Xing Qingyun reacted, his expression changing greatly. He quickly tossed the old man on his shoulder down and off the warship before trying to explain. “Brother Yun, I truly did not kill this person.”
Yun Tianhe said coldly, “Xing Qingyun, you are really capable now. For the past few hundred years, no one has dared to kill an inner elder of my Frost Moon Palace. After today, you will be added to the wanted list of my Frost Moon Palace to be killed on sight!”
Wanted list and to be killed on sight?!
It’s over. This time, this has gone too far. The last time the Frost Moon Palace issued a kill order was probably a hundred years ago when a quasi-Emperor loose cultivator killed one of their grandmaster-level Martial Sages for no reason at all.
Ultimately, the Frost Moon Palace’s Palace Master had chased this loose cultivator to the ends of the world. Then, he refined the loose cultivator into a bone weapon and hung it on the walls of the Frost Moon Palace, on display for a hundred years.
Xing Qingyun’s heart sank, feeling so much regret that his intestines turned green. It was clearly that Ye Chen who injured the old man. Xing Qingyun himself only contributed a little. How did he end up attracting so much hatred?
“It is just a grandmaster-level Martial Sage. Since my Alliance Chief already killed him, that’s it. Some dog-fart kill order of your Frost Moon Palace, how could our Alliance Chief care at all?!”
As Xiao Chen held up the warship with both hands, he smiled gently and put on an arrogant look. After that, he added on more words: “If you want to do anything, come at me, the Bloody Young Master Ye Chen. Don’t bother looking for our Alliance Chief. You lot are just a bunch of small shrimps, not worthy to fight with our Alliance Chief!”
When Xing Qingyun heard these words, his heart felt warm. This Ye Chen is a good brother. At the crucial moment, Ye Chen stood up for me. He said with glee, “Everyone, did you hear that? Don’t come to me. I am innocent. I truly did not kill the Frost Moon Palace’s elder. I only gave him a few slaps.”
“You are going overboard. Xing Qingyun, you are really going overboard. You show no regard for our Frost Moon Palace at all.”
“He is still smiling so wretchedly and still trying to look innocent. Screw your sister!”
“Kill him! What dog-fart Alliance Chief?! Saying that I am not worthy of fighting with you?! In that case, all the more I want to take your head!”
The people from the Frost Moon Palace could no longer hold back. They all descended from the sky and headed for the warship, charging towards Xing Qingyun.
Seeing a nobody like Xing Qingyun bouncing around so happily, Gao Baiyu felt extremely upset for no reason. He waved his hand, and the Heavenly Music Sect’s disciples also charged over.
The King Killing Alliance loose cultivators all went with the flow and charged over as well. The large number of people scared Xing Qingyun to the point his legs went soft.
“Damn it! Don’t charge at me. Everyone, I truly did not kill him. I am innocent,” Xing Qingyun rambled on. Clearly, Ye Chen already covered for him, so why did such a large number of people still charge at him?
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and flung the big warship hard. Half a Dragon Force erupted as he tossed it forward.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
The tremendous force made even the air tremble. A few unfortunate people at the front of the pack got smashed into a meat paste. A few slightly luckier ones still ended up severely injured.
Half a Dragon Force—two thousand five hundred tons of force—along with the heft of the warship was not something to fool around with.
Xiao Chen had noticed that these people gathered here long ago as if they were guarding some kind of natural treasure.
He did not see the grandmaster-level old man from the Heavenly Music Sect. He guessed that that old man had fallen at the hands of the white figure. Otherwise, that old man would definitely be with Gao Baiyu.
In other words, no one in this group of people could block Xiao Chen.
King Killing Alliance?

Xiao Chen smiled and opened the folding fan. He could wipe out this group of people today. He had already disliked the sound of the group’s name when he heard it a long time ago.
Furthermore, he could shift all the blame to another person. Honestly speaking, this felt very good.
Xiao Chen glanced at the miserable Xing Qingyun, who was on the warship he had tossed forward. With Xing Qingyun attracting the attention of these people, Xiao Chen could save a lot of effort.
At least, at this moment, he did not need to bother with the useless troops and could deal directly with Yun Tianhe and Gao Baiyu.
“Ye Chen, we respect the people of your Northern Sea Alliance. As for this matter, just hand Xing Qingyun to us, and we will call it quits. There are no conflicts between us, after all.”
A cold moon rose high above. Then, Yun Tianhe standing in the palace flew over to Xiao Chen.
Gao Baiyu gently swept through the set of bells floating in front of him, causing them to ring nonstop. Then, he looked at Xiao Chen and said, “Brother Yun is right. We have no grudge with you. Just hand Xing Qingyun over to us, so we can save the face of our King Killing Alliance, and this matter will be over.”
Yun Tianhe added, “There is a saying, a strong dragon cannot repress a snake. With the two of us working together, we will not lose to you by much. Our respective senior brothers rushed to the Immortal sect Remnant together with Di Wuque. If a conflict starts between us, you will end up gaining a strong enemy for no reason at all, after you go to the Immortal sect Remnant.”
The Bloody Young Master Ye Chen’s reputation was too remarkable. Furthermore, the grandmaster-level Martial Sage experts protecting Yun Tianhe and Gao Baiyu were gone without a trace. Right now, the two felt no confidence at all. It would be for the best if they could reduce this conflict to a minor matter.
Xiao Chen found the situation funny. If he were really Ye Chen, he might actually have agreed to their offer. Unfortunately, he was not. Given his true identity, he was already at the point where one side had to die; there was no room for reconciliation.
“Scram. You think you are worthy to speak to me, the Bloody Young Master Ye Chen? You think too highly of yourselves. Toss over your spatial rings and the two King Grade Secret Treasures, and I will spare you from death.”
Using Ye Chen’s identity, Xiao Chen could do whatever he wanted. No matter how big a commotion he caused, there was the real person thousands of kilometers away to shoulder the blame for all of this.
“I’d long heard that the Bloody Young Master is exceedingly arrogant and cares for no one. Today, I finally get to see it for myself.” Standing in the palace, Yun Tianhe trembled with anger when he heard the word “scram.”
Xiao Chen said, “Remember who killed your people! It is I, the Bloody Young Master Ye Chen!”
Suddenly, an electric light flashed, and Xiao Chen’s scarlet cape fluttered. Saber intent filled the air as he charged towards Yun Tianhe.
Yun Tianhe stomped, and the palace carried him high into the sky. Then, amid the moonlight, graceful figures leaped out of the palace.
Each of these figures carried a boundless killing intent, materializing various killing moves. One thousand figures meant one thousand killing moves.
“A flashy but useless move!”
The thousand killing moves looked very overwhelming and mighty. However, in reality, every move was discrete. There was no strong leader to lead these one thousand figures. In the end, they did not cooperate with each other at all.
Xiao Chen had already gained a rough understanding of the inner workings of the Frost Moon Palace Secret Treasure. The core of this Secret Treasure lay not in the Secret Treasure itself but in the person wielding the Secret Treasure.
This Secret Treasure required an exceedingly outstanding talent to make all these light figures truly submit. At that time, one could use the strength of three thousand experts and sweep through the cultivators of the same generation by oneself.
Right now, all Yun Tianhe could bring out had only the appearance. If he met with a regular genius, he could scare them. However, it was insufficient against Xiao Chen.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
One thousand figures, one thousand killing moves. However, they could not delay Xiao Chen for an instant. The killing moves broke, and the figures shattered.
After disposing of one thousand moves, Xiao Chen caught up with Yun Tianhe and started an intense battle above the palace. He used his body and thoughts as sabers, filling everywhere with cutting edges.
In just three moves, he sent the other party flying and vomiting blood.
Chimes rang continuously as Gao Baiyu hammered on the set of bells, sending out musical notes at Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen had no choice but to give up the opportunity to kill Yun Tianhe. He turned around and opened the folding fan, which he then gently waved. A strong wind blew, sending the musical notes back at Gao Baiyu.
Gao Baiyu had not expected Xiao Chen’s cultivation to be so deep; it was equivalent to that of a regular grandmaster-level Martial Sage. With just one wave, Xiao Chen could stir up such a strong wind.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Explosions resounded as a few small bells on the set of bells shattered upon impact with the returning music notes. The incomplete melody immediately got disrupted, and Gao Baiyu’s complexion paled. Blood leaked out of the corners of his lips.
“Let’s go. We are not his match,” Gao Baiyu cried out and prepared to retreat together with Yun Tianhe. Who would have imagined that when he looked back, Yun Tianhe, whom he saved, had already disappeared without a trace long ago?
“Damn!” Gao Baiyu cursed. As he looked at the approaching Xiao Chen, he steeled himself and raised the set of bells with both hands, infusing all his Law Energy into it.
“Dang! Dang! Dang!” The small bells infused with divine materials produced melodious sounds, ringing out an intense war song that resounded everywhere.
“Ye Chen, our Heavenly Music Sect cannot coexist under the same sky as you. You best not go to the Immortal sect Remnant. Otherwise, you will not return.”
Gao Baiyu, who held the set of bells overhead, threw it straight at Xiao Chen. A stormy war tune descended from the sky, sounding like a magnificent army charging at Xiao Chen.
For the sake of survival, Gao Baiyu decisively abandoned this set of bells, just to buy himself some time.
