Chapter 809: Chapter 397: Swordsmanship Heavenly Pride Ye Chen, The Situation of Nine Li Mansion_3
In the upcoming war, having the protection of the other party may increase our chances of survival.
But this doesn’t mean that Lu Yun was going to place his hopes in the hands of others. He wasn’t that type of person. No matter the time or place, he himself was his greatest support.
Ye Chen waved his hand slightly, his gaze flickering before he smiled and said, “Thanks is unnecessary. I just hope that when you grow stronger, you can give Dongfang Qing a good thrashing once again.”
Hearing this, the corners of Lu Yun’s mouth twitched slightly. Just how much resentment did this guy hold against Dongfang Qing!
With that thought, Lu Yun slightly raised his eyelids and took a serious look at Ye Chen once more.
The face was handsome with clear eyes, like a spring of water, and a light green sash tied around his waist. He embodied the image of a modest gentleman. So why was he so scheming?
At that moment, Lu Yun’s gaze was suddenly drawn to the long sword in the other’s hand.
On the hilt, a lively azure dragon pattern was depicted, as if it might come to life at any moment.
Lu Yun had refined half of a Chilong True Fruit, and a strand of Chilong blood had once emerged in his body. Although it had been assimilated by his golden divine blood, he was somewhat familiar with the aura of the Dragon Path.
Therefore, he had a faint feeling that the spirit of the sword in Ye Chen’s hand might be related to dragons.
Feeling Lu Yun’s gaze, Ye Chen simply smiled lightly, without any intent to explain.
But in his heart, he thought, as expected of the Heavenly Pride who had suppressed both Ran Qianshan and Dongfang Qing in the same realm, he had quickly perceived something amiss about the sword in his hand.
Remembering the rumors in the sect and the exclamation of his Master, Ye Chen couldn’t help but take another careful look at Lu Yun.
From Lu Yun, Ye Chen didn’t feel that distinctive manner and pride that belonged to a peerless Heavenly Pride. If one ignored his outstanding appearance, he was almost indistinguishable from the crowd.
In other words, this person was inconspicuous to the extreme.
“Is he really the destined leader of the younger generation of Green Flame Palace?”
In his view, Lu Yun, who had suppressed his peers, should have had a dominant and invincible presence if not outright prominence.
He saw neither of those traits in Lu Yun.
On the contrary, he appeared very ordinary.
Indeed, he was very ordinary, almost no different from the other Official Disciples, lacking the temperament and edge of those Heavenly Prides listed on the Mountain River List.
Lu Yun was unaware of Ye Chen’s thoughts.
The reason he appeared so ordinary was due to the Cave Mystic Divine Stealth Technique. This Divine Ability could not only conceal one’s Realm but also change one’s temperament when perfected, thereby reducing one’s presence.
Of course, this was also related to his own low profile. Otherwise, even with the effect of a Divine Ability, it would be difficult to mask that aura cultivated from constantly defeating opponents.
“Senior Brother Ye Chen, do you have any understanding of the situation in the Nine Li Mansion that we’re about to support?” Knowing both the enemy and oneself increased the chances of survival, and Lu Yun hoped to learn more information before entering the battlefield.
The conflict between Green Flame Palace and True Word Temple escalated with each taking over the other’s manors. At present, the situation between the two sides is almost even.
Nine Li Mansion, one of the large manors in the eastern part of the True Fire Domain adjacent to the Sky Cloud Region, is currently resisting a desperate invasion from the joint forces of the True Word Temple and its allies.
However, this was all Lu Yun knew; he was in the dark regarding specific details.
The underlying reason was his low status and lack of backing, which prevented him from accessing crucial information.
“Nine Li Mansion?”
Ye Chen pondered for a moment before saying, “Nine Li Mansion is the stronghold of the Li Mountain Sect. The Li Mountain Sect was once a top force with Immortal Experts at its head. After a great battle where their Immortal fell, and most of the World Masters perished, they tumbled from their peak position to become a first-rate force.”
Subsequently, to avoid the crisis of annihilation, the Li Mountain Sect chose to become a subsidiary power under our Green Flame Palace.
Now, the Li Mountain Sect has recovered somewhat. Although it hasn’t returned to its past glory, it still boasts three World Master Realm fighters.
Because of this, the Li Mountain Sect has managed to withstand the assaults from the Sky Cloud Region.”
Ye Chen continued, “As for the Sky Cloud Region’s side, I only know some information from the reports sent from the front. The main forces attacking Nine Li Mansion include Purple Blood Valley and Heaven’s Glory Palace.
These two forces have had many disputes with the Li Mountain Sect, and when united, they are slightly stronger.
If that was all, the Li Mountain Sect could still hold Nine Li Mansion, but with the intervention of True Word Temple, even the foundation of a once top force seemed somewhat insufficient.”
Hearing this, Lu Yun’s expression gradually became more solemn.
From Ye Chen’s words, the combined forces of Purple Blood Valley and Heaven’s Glory Palace attacking Nine Li Mansion must have at least three, possibly four World Master experts, otherwise they couldn’t suppress the Li Mountain Sect.
Together with True Word Temple’s involvement, it meant that the Sky Cloud Region side should have between four to five World Master experts.
On the side of the True Fire Domain, besides the Li Mountain Sect’s three World Master Realm fighters, the Green Flame Palace had also sent one World Master as reinforcement.
That is to say, in terms of top-tier fighters, it was four to five, with the True Fire Domain at a disadvantage to the Sky Cloud Region.
In such a situation, even fighting on home ground was still at a disadvantage.
After all, a World Master expert was an existence that could dominate a realm on their own; such fighters couldn’t be compensated for by mere numbers.
