Chapter 1655: Meng Xingyun Chapter 1655: Meng Xingyun Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Ye Chen’s lips twitched. At the same time, he looked in shock at the young man who was rubbing his head and standing up from the ground. He finally understood why there was a problem with his medical inspection just now. It turned out that this fellow was faking it… Zi Ning said to Ye Chen, “Ye Chen, you should hurry up and continue the trial. In order to prevent the true demon from returning, I’ll stay near the island for the time being. You don’t have to worry.” She glanced at the young man next to her and snapped, “Hmph. The Sect Master actually sent such an unreliable fellow like you to supervise the trial. If anything had happened to Ye Chen, I wouldn’t have spared you.” “Isn’t Junior Brother just fine?” the young man asked aggrievedly. Ye Chen glanced at the young man and cupped his fists. “Thank you for your help, Senior Brother. I’m Ye Chen. May I know your name, Senior Brother?” The young man smiled. “Junior Brother Ye, you don’t have to be so polite. It’s just my duty. My name is Meng Xingyun. My master is the sect master.” Ye Chen looked at the young man’s attire and asked, “Senior Brother Meng, are you a secret disciple of the sect?”  “That’s right. I just graduated from the Divine Fire Academy and returned to the sect.” Meng Xingyun raised his chin. Ye Chen nodded. At the same time, he was secretly shocked. The Divine Fire Academy was indeed extraordinary. Meng Xingyun was not even thirty years old, yet he was already so powerful. On one hand, Meng Xingyun was naturally talented, but on the other hand, it could also be seen that the Divine Fire Academy was truly capable in that they managed to instruct and nurture someone like Meng Xingyun. This made Ye Chen even more curious about the Divine Fire Academy. Then, Zining and Meng Xingyun went to the cave where Bai Ke had been residing to check things out. They destroyed the formation in the cave that acted as the medium to summon the true demon’s soul. They searched the island again and left Truth Island after confirming that there were no problems. After leaving Truth Island, Zining and Meng Xingyun hovered in the sky above the island. Their powerful spiritual senses covered thousands of miles, but they could not sense any trace of the true demon. However, Zining was not in the mood to look for the true demon now. Her beautiful eyes widened as she looked at Meng Xingyun, who was telling her about what happened.  “Ye Chen defeated two middle-stage Dao Integration realm demonic path experts on the island?” Meng Xingyun nodded. “That’s right. Junior Brother Ye’s strength is extraordinary, just like mine back then. The second demonic path expert should be equivalent to a seventh-level Dao Integration realm expert on Truth Island.” He was well aware of Ye Chen’s feats on Truth Island. Although there was a certain suppression upon his spiritual sense on the island, someone at his level could cover the entire island with his spiritual sense. Moreover, Ye Chen had a mark placed by Cang Ye on his body. Naturally, Meng Xingyun could easily track Ye Chen’s movements. When Zining heard this, a charming smile appeared on her pretty face. It seemed that she had underestimated Ye Chen. Even though the conditions of this trial were extremely harsh, it would not be a problem for Ye Chen to succeed. … At this moment, Ye Chen let out a sigh of relief. This time, he was safe. However, he also deeply realized that his strength was insufficient. It was just a wisp of the true demon’s soul that had borrowed Bai Ke’s corpse to descend. Its strength might not even be one-ten-thousandth of the main body’s. Even so, the true demon had the power to kill Ye Chen in an instant in that form. His six Daos could not be used, the ancient mighty expert he had summoned had a strange temper, and the Demonic Eye was also in a deep sleep. He had too few trump cards now. Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed. The Lingwu Continent was fraught with danger. He had to quickly increase his strength or he would perish. The most convenient way to increase his strength now was to think of a way to awaken the Demonic Eye. If the Demonic Eye awakened, it would likely benefit from all of the demonic elements on Truth Island, and he would no longer have to fear the true demon. He thought of something and took out the piece of the Gengjin metal that he had obtained from Bai Ke. A smile appeared on his face. Ever since he had refined Gengjin metal the first time, he became able to clearly distinguish between the grades of Gengjin metal. Gengjin metal was divided into four grades according to its quality, which were low grade, middle grade, high grade, and supreme grade. Each grade was divided into three ranks, which were low rank, middle rank, and high rank. Previously, he had only refined low-grade low-rank Gengjin metal. However, the piece in his hand now was low-grade high-rank Gengjin metal. Moreover, the amount of Gengjin metal he was holding was more than ten times the size of the previous one! If he traded this piece of Gengjin metal, he would likely become unimaginably rich. It was no wonder Lin Yang risked his life to hunt Bai Ke down on the island despite knowing how dangerous the island was and how powerful Bai Ke was. Ye Chen looked at the small piece of Gengjin metal for a while, but finally put it away. He was not in a hurry to refine it. Instead, he took out a jade talisman and contacted Zhu Liang. He was a man of his word, so since he had made a promise, he would give Zhu Liang what he needed. Soon, Zhu Liang found Ye Chen. The two of them looked at each other, feeling as if they had just survived a disaster. They could not help but smile. “Brother Ye, you’ve really got the luck of the gods. That true demon must have been chasing you, right?” Zhu Liang laughed. “You actually survived… Moreover, the true demon has actually left the island…” Although Zhu Liang did not know what had happened, his extra-sensitive spiritual sense could still sense the fluctuations from the fight between the True Demon and Meng Xingyun. He had originally planned to escape back to the sect, but after realizing that the true demon had left, he decided to stick around. Ye Chen briefly explained what had happened. It was only then did Zhu Liang realize Ye Chen’s identity. He looked at Ye Chen in shock. “It’s no wonder Brother Ye is so powerful. You’re a disciple of the Mystic Moon Sect.” Ye Chen was not wearing the Mystic Moon Sect’s robes yet, so Zhu Liang, Lin Yang, and the others did not recognize him at first glance. Ye Chen tossed Bai Ke’s storage ring over to Zhu Liang. “Take whatever you need.” Zhu Liang was delighted. He took out a transparent crystal from the storage ring, rubbed it with his fingers and sighed, “Originally, this crystal belonged to my senior brother who was killed by Bai Ke. I had already agreed on the terms of the deal with him, and I had also thought of a way to get what he needed. We were supposed to conduct the trade once he left the secret realm, but he never had the chance to return to the sect…” Ye Chen was silent. This was the Lingwu Continent, a cruel world where the strong preyed on the weak. There was no justice. Only strength reigned supreme. “What is this?” he asked curiously as he looked at the crystal. Zhu Liang smiled and said, “This is an Earth-Immortal Stone. It’s also a rare material that has many uses. For a cultivator like me who has a special physique, its value is far more than this.” Ye Chen nodded. The Earth-Immortal Stone was to Zhu Liang what the Gengjin metal was to Ye Chen. Zhu Liang accepted the Earth-Immortal Stone and returned the storage ring to Ye Chen. “There’s one more thing I’d like to ask Brother Ye for help,” he said, feeling a little embarrassed. “Oh? Tell me.” Ye Chen was now on friendly terms with Zhu Liang. Since this fellow had a decent character, it was not a problem to help him a little. Zhu Liang said, “The Nine Evils Demonic Sect is not far from Truth Island. You should already be aware of the fact that the true demon left the island, so I don’t dare to leave the island by myself.” Since Bai Ke’s matter is a little complicated, and I can’t contact the elders in the sect to come here, I was thinking that after Brother Ye finishes the trial, I could trouble the elders of the Mystic Moon Sect to send me back to the sect…” “Of course. It’s a small matter.” Ye Chen smiled. After agreeing to Zhu Liang’s request, Ye Chen found a cave suitable for seclusion with the help of Zhu Liang’s spiritual sense. He then adjusted his body to its peak condition and began refining the low-grade high-rank Gengjin metal. Moreover, he wanted to see if he could awaken the Demonic Eye!
