Chapter 831: Chapter 828: Returning to the Hometown_1
After reaching the peak of the sixth level of the True Martial Realm, Yang Chen felt much more confident and returned to the North Mountain County.
He had already guessed that there was nothing wrong with the Guardian Spirit Array. If there was any issue, the Sun Star Region near the North Mountain County wouldn’t be safe without any problems.
However, he couldn’t understand the reason.
He had to go back and take a look since he didn’t think that the Fire Essence Beast would come to the vast North Mountain County and leave without doing anything.
He was 100% sure that the Purple Qi Secret Realm was related to the Fire Essence Beast, and it was created by the Fire Essence Beast on purpose. The root cause was the Guardian Spirit Array.
But what exactly was the sinister plot of the Fire Essence Beast? Yang Chen couldn’t figure it out.
At this moment, Yang Chen was standing high in the sky looking down.
“Beishan Main City is safe.”
“Huangshan Sect is also safe.”
“Ming Emperor Sect is fine too, and so is Ziyang Sect.”
With Yang Chen’s divine soul power at the peak of the sixth level of the True Martial Realm, he was able to observe the situation of the various sects in North Mountain County, albeit not the entire county.
There were no issues with the various sects, and no signs of being controlled by Fire Essence Beasts. To verify this, he deliberately investigated a lot.
“Young Master, North Mountain County seems to be perfectly fine. How strange. Could it be that the Fire Essence Beast never came to North Mountain County?” Yun Lu couldn’t understand.
Yang Chen didn’t understand it at first, but he soon realized: “It’s precisely because the Fire Essence Beast had been here that North Mountain County has no trouble now. Everything is safe and sound.”
“Why?” Yun Lu asked.
“If they really made a mess of North Mountain County, would anyone step foot here? Wouldn’t they immediately detect something fishy? If I had really brought people here, it would have practically found evidence of the Fire Essence Beast’s deeds. But unfortunately, the Fire Essence Beast didn’t do anything.” Yang Chen gritted his teeth and whispered.
It was undeniable that the Fire Spirit Beast Group was extremely cunning, as if they had considered everything.
“Just like when the Fire Essence Beasts first occupied North Mountain County, they only controlled the people of the county and didn’t harm the various sects at all. Because they wouldn’t leave any evidence that would make people think that the Fire Essence Beasts had ever appeared here. So that even if someone pointed it out in the future, the Fire Essence Beasts could completely absolve themselves of responsibility!” Yang Chen took a deep breath.
The only difference from the first time was that Yang Chen could still guess the purpose of the Fire Essence Beasts the first time, but this time he couldn’t understand it at all.
“Young Master, could it be that our guess is wrong?” Yun Lu asked.
“No, I don’t think so.” Yang Chen still insisted on his initial thoughts, and he slowly said, “I will go back to Yuanshan Sect and take a look!”
When Yang Chen returned to Yuanshan Sect, everything was the same as when he left last time.
To be precise, there was no difference at all.
Mù Báishēng still held the position of Sect Leader, the elders remained the same, and the disciples were still as before. Everything in Yuanshan Sect was harmonious.
Yang Chen frowned, feeling as if the heavens were playing a joke on him.
When he thought the situation was extremely serious, and it had reached the point where it could no longer be tolerated, and he had already given everything he had. But when he came back, he found that there was no trouble at all.
“I have to ask the Sect Leader.” Yang Chen took a deep breath and instantly appeared in Mù Báishēng’s residence.
Mù Báishēng had been cultivating, but suddenly felt someone appear in his room.
He opened his eyes and exclaimed: “Yang Chen!”
Mù Báishēng’s face looked shocked, as he could feel that Yang Chen’s strength had grown even stronger. The release of his aura was already not inferior to his own.
This made Mù Báishēng extremely happy. Although he knew Yang Chen had talent, and his talent was so great that it could not be restrained by the Yuanshan Sect, Yang Chen was the one he had chosen. Seeing Yang Chen grow stronger, there was no reason for him not to be happy.
Mù Báishēng laughed and said: “Yang Chen, when did you come back? You’ve really caught me off guard.”
Although Yang Chen’s strength had grown stronger, his respect for Mù Báishēng had not changed. He said kindly: “Greetings, Sect Leader!”
“Haha, Yang Chen, it’s rare for you to come back to Yuanshan Sect. By the way, when are you planning to leave this time?” Mù Báishēng asked.
Yang Chen sighed: “I will leave in a few days. Speaking of which, Sect Leader, has anything happened in Yuanshan Sect recently?”
Mù Báishēng was surprised: “Everything is fine. The Fire Essence Beasts have already been wiped out by you. What other problems could there be?”
“What about North Mountain County? Has anything happened there?” Yang Chen asked again.
This made Mù Báishēng even more puzzled. He laughed: “Yang Chen, what’s the matter with you? The Fire Essence Beasts in North Mountain County have already been cleared out, and everything is going well there now. What other problems could there be?”
Yang Chen heard that there were no problems in the North Mountain County, but instead of feeling happy, he felt his heart beat faster.
Everything was too normal, so normal that it seemed abnormal.
Yang Chen said: “Sect Leader, I have some matters to attend to, I will return to the sect in a few days.”
“Alright… Yuanshan Sect will always be your home, so come back whenever you want.” Although Mù Báishēng found Yang Chen extremely strange, he didn’t ask much in the end.
With so many questions in his mind, Yang Chen bid farewell to Mù Báishēng and directly went to the Guardian Spirit Array.
He wanted to figure out what had happened with the Guardian Spirit Array. This would allow him to feel completely at ease. No doubt was more reassuring than personally checking it out.
Five days later, Yang Chen arrived in the sky above the Great Wilderness.
The Great Wilderness was as peaceful as before, with nothing wrong happening.
“What’s going on?” Yang Chen quickly headed to the location of the Guardian Spirit Array, proceeding smoothly without encountering any accidents.
In the blink of an eye, he arrived before the Guardian Spirit Array.
Yang Chen could see clearly and unmistakably that there was nothing wrong with the Guardian Spirit Array, not even a trace of damage. It was in perfect condition, so much so that it could be described as safe and sound.
“Young Master, there’s nothing wrong with the Guardian Spirit Array!” Yun Lu said.
“Yun Lu, do you think the Fire Essence Beasts would do nothing in the North Mountain County?” Yang Chen looked at the intact Guardian Spirit Array.
Yun Lu said, “Yun Lu doesn’t believe it, but everything in front of us…”
“Let’s put the matter of the Guardian Spirit Array aside for now. Regardless of whether there’s something wrong with the Guardian Spirit Array, it’s already in the past and won’t have any impact. What I’m thinking now is, if the Fire Essence Beasts knew I had the Slaughter God Spear, would they really… not do anything to try and get it?” Yang Chen was puzzled.
Various actions the Fire Essence Beasts might take began to appear in his mind.
After a short while, Yang Chen suddenly startled: “Not good, Older Sister!”
