Ye Chen's expression changed tremendously in complexity.
The figure on the city wall was precisely Hua Qianxue.
At this moment.
Hua Qianxue also saw Ye Chen.
She stepped out from the city wall, walking in the air.
Her white dress fluttered, becoming the most beautiful painting in this world of endless yellow sand.
When Hua Qianxue landed, a gentle smile appeared on Ye Chen's face, "Girl, what brings you here?"
Hua Qianxue removed her veil.
Still as flawlessly beautiful as ever.
She had promised Ye Chen never to hide her face in front of him.
However, there was a hint of anger in Hua Qianxue's expression.
"You left without a word, so there's at least some explanation for the Star Martial System," Hua Qianxue said lightly.
Ye Chen gave a bitter smile.
Hua Qianxue's words had hidden meanings.
"Time was too tight, I couldn't say goodbye properly, girl, how did you find me here?"
Ye Chen was curious how Hua Qianxue knew he would pass through here.
"I gave Yu Hui a beating."
Ye Chen: "..."
Poor Brother Fatty.
The map to the True Martial Hall was given by Brother Fatty; it's not surprising Hua Qianxue knew he would pass through here after beating him.
"What's with the bird on your shoulder?" Hua Qianxue couldn't hold back and asked.
Ye Chen didn't think twice, "I'll give you my bird to play with, you can play with it as you like."
Little Phoenix Zizi kept chirping.
Hua Qianxue couldn't help but glance a few more times, then changed the subject, "Many people are still looking for you, the Thousand Spirits Sect no longer dares, but the Great Zhou Royal Family, the Sect Alliance, they haven't given up."
"I have no time to deal with them now, I'll settle it when I get back!" Ye Chen said.
Hua Qianxue asked, "Do you know what's outside this city?"
"The border between Great Zhou and Great Qin."
"A few days ago, the Great Qin Dynasty sent three Heaven-Reaching Realm experts, two died, one left but didn't return to the Capital City of the Great Qin Dynasty, he's just outside the wall."
Ye Chen smiled, "Does he know I'm passing through here too?"
"He doesn't know, but he wants to break this city wall in anger," Hua Qianxue continued, "I've been waiting for you to arrive before I make my move to kill him."
"Can you do it?"
Hua Qianxue said, "Maybe not before, but now, yes."
At that moment.
A group of armored soldiers rushed down from the city wall, surrounding Ye Chen.
"Miss Hua, the Zhou Emperor ordered the nation... to arrest Ye Chen... my apologies!" a leading general said in a deep voice.
"Step aside!"
A loud voice sounded, and a square-faced young man led another group of soldiers over.
"Junior General..."
The general surrounding Hua Qianxue and Ye Chen looked troubled.
The square-faced young man drew his sword with a swish, "Anyone who blocks Ye Chen will disobey military orders and be executed without mercy!"
"Junior General, this is the Zhou Emperor's order..."
"Today, I call the shots! If you don't retreat, don't blame me for not considering past relations!"
The square-faced young man was resolute, dispersing those surrounding Ye Chen, looking at Ye Chen with a complex expression.
He should have called Ye Chen a junior brother.
But Ye Chen's strength had long surpassed his own.
Furthermore, the fact that Ye Chen left the Cangxing Martial Arts Academy was well known across the world.
"I'm sorry, when something happened at Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, I had already returned here to guard the border with my father, but back at the edge of the Demon Suppression Valley battlefield, I said we would always be one team."
This person was Jiang Zheng, a disciple of the Star Martial System at the Cangxing Martial Arts Academy!
Back then, Ye Chen, Liu Meng'Er, and Jiang Zheng formed a team at the Demon Suppression Valley.
Later, Jiang Zheng thought himself too weak to hold Ye Chen back, so he voluntarily left the team, and soon after the trouble at Demon Suppression Valley was resolved, Jiang Zheng left the Cangxing Martial Arts Academy and came here.
The Jiang Family, regardless of gender, had guarded this place for generations!
Ye Chen cupped his hands towards Jiang Zheng, "Thank you, Brother Jiang!"
In fact, there was not much intersection between them.
But unexpectedly, they reunited here, and Jiang Zheng helped him, even at the risk of disobeying an imperial order.
"Brother Ye, I'll arrange for someone to take you out of the city in another direction, bypassing those outside," Jiang Zheng said.
Ye Chen shook his head, "No need, I'll head straight out."
"Brother Ye..."
Before Jiang Zheng could finish, Ye Chen interrupted, "We plan to take out that guy outside."
As soon as he spoke, a surge of violent power erupted from Ye Chen's body.
Jiang Zheng was sent flying by this power.
"Jiang Zheng, considering our past at Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, I'll spare you today. If you ever try to stop me again, I will take your life!"
Ye Chen shouted, his voice echoed.
Jiang Zheng helped him, which will certainly cause trouble, so Ye Chen could only use this way to bring everything back to normal for Jiang Zheng.
Ye Chen took Hua Qianxue's hand, and the two rose into the air simultaneously.
Immediately.
The Celestial Mark Sword in Ye Chen's hand was instantly unsheathed, a terrifying sword light obliterating the endless yellow sand, with sun and moon floating within, slashing towards the array restriction light curtain above the city wall!
"Boom!"
The array restriction light curtain exploded open with a crack.
Ye Chen and Hua Qianxue charged out together.
"Father!"
Jiang Zheng, who had just been flung by Ye Chen's power, flew back to the city wall, standing beside a burly middle-aged man in armor, his father, Jiang Tianfeng!
"He appreciates your goodwill, he did this to avoid harming us," Jiang Tianfeng said.
The Jiang Family had guarded this place for generations, and Jiang Tianfeng was battle-hardened.
Warlords like them who emerged from battlefield tempering would never give face to those super aristocratic powers.
Yet, Jiang Tianfeng looked at Ye Chen's retreating figure with respect!
The affairs of the Cangxing Martial Arts Academy were known to all.
Ye Chen's actions were sung continuously by the people.
He did nothing wrong.
He was a hero of the Great Zhou Dynasty!
He bore all the wrath of the Thousand Spirits Sect with his shoulders!
However, the Great Zhou Royal Family and Sect Alliance still insisted, and rumors were rampant!
Because Ye Chen broke the restriction above the city wall with one sword, some soldiers were ready to pursue.
Jiang Tianfeng shouted, "Our duty is to guard Yellow Sand City, so no one is allowed to leave the city!"
......
When Ye Chen and Hua Qianxue left Yellow Sand City.
An old legendary figure from the Great Qin Dynasty, who had been waiting there, suddenly showed an indescribable excitement on his face.
"Hahaha!"
The old man laughed aloud, soaring into the air, and blocked the area around them with terrifying power.
"So many legendary powerhouses went to the Cangxing Martial Arts Academy to kill you but failed, I didn't expect to meet you here, it seems it's all destined!
Ye Chen, you delivered yourself seeking death, and I shall fulfill it, hahaha!"
Hua Qianxue withdrew her right hand from Ye Chen's left palm, drawing her sword.
The old man snorted coldly, "It seems indeed to be a lucky day, to not only kill Ye Chen but also Hua Qianxue, the two most dazzling prodigies of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the past thousand years, all dying by my hands!"
Ye Chen gripped his Celestial Mark Sword and looked at Hua Qianxue beside him.
Ye Chen asked, "How to kill?"
"Watch," Hua Qianxue's expression was calm.
She had waited for Ye Chen to come to kill him, using this Great Qin Dynasty legendary powerhouse's life as a send-off for Ye Chen!
