After braving numerous dangers, this Celestial Soldier Pavilion's cloud ship was forced to find a random place to land.

When Ye Chen and the Black Widow emerged from the fifth level of the cloud ship, they discovered they were surrounded by a vast grassland.

In their view, they could see that the other four levels of the cloud ship were riddled with holes and essentially beyond repair.

At this moment.

Pavilion Master Liu Hong of the Celestial Soldier Pavilion, with his fiery red curls and beard, walked over with Elder Qi, who was covered in injuries.

From a distance, the Black Widow communicated telepathically to the two, saying, "Pavilion Master Liu, Elder Qi, this time it was my fault for implicating the Celestial Soldier Pavilion. I will definitely compensate for the losses in the future. Additionally, I don't want my identity to be revealed to Ye Chen, so I ask that you both keep it a secret."

Liu Hong came to the front of Ye Chen and the Black Widow, cupping his fists in a gesture of respect, his attitude notably polite.

"Miss Hei, Young Master Ye, the two of you took our Celestial Soldier Pavilion's cloud ship but encountered such risks, it's our Pavilion's fault. At the appropriate time, we will certainly compensate the two of you."

The Black Widow was taken aback.

The Celestial Soldier Pavilion was always known for being quite domineering in its dealings, especially Pavilion Master Liu Hong, who was famously unreasonable. Even if she was the Moon God without much power, Liu Hong wouldn't treat her this courteously.

The only explanation... is Ye Chen!

The Black Widow recalled what Ye Chen had said before. No wonder he was so calm at the time and said he would save her. It seems there is a super-powerful entity backing Ye Chen!

But one thing didn't make sense; Ye Chen was from the Great Zhou Dynasty, where would he have acquired a protector mighty enough to make Liu Hong wary? Moreover, if he had such a powerful benefactor, then his dealings in the Great Zhou Dynasty wouldn't have become this complicated!

Ye Chen couldn't help but laugh.

The Black Widow, Liu Hong, and Elder Qi all looked at Ye Chen, puzzled.

Ye Chen looked at the Black Widow, smiled, and said, "Miss Hei!"

The Black Widow: "..."

Really want to chop this brat... no, really want to stab him!

"Young Master Ye, I've learned about some incidents that happened on the cloud ship, and it was indeed our Celestial Soldier Pavilion that was in the wrong. I'm here to apologize, and if you have any grievances, please do say them, and the Pavilion will ensure your satisfaction!" Liu Hong said.

Elder Qi stepped forward, lowering his head, "Young Master Ye, at the time, I wanted to curry favor with Xu Tianlong of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, so I refrained from acting. I am willing to bear all your ire."

Ye Chen looked at Elder Qi, his expression calm, "I'm not going to pursue this matter. I just want to ask, I paid the original stone to travel to Celestial Cyan City on the cloud ship, will that be refunded?"

"Refunded, fully refunded, no, ten times refunded!" Liu Hong quickly said, "Moreover, we're not far from Celestial Cyan City now, our Celestial Soldier Pavilion will also be responsible for escorting Young Master Ye there!"

The Black Widow said, "I won't trouble the Celestial Soldier Pavilion any further, I'll go on my own."

Liu Hong couldn't be happier inside.

The Black Widow was the Moon God of the Divine Moon Ancient Kingdom, secretly hitching a ride on the cloud ship to Celestial Cyan City, and the news had already leaked, bringing with her a heap of troubles.

Ye Chen looked at the Black Widow.

The Black Widow said, "My destination wasn't originally Celestial Cyan City."

Liu Hong, quick-witted, immediately said, "Then you two have a chat, I'll wait over here."

After Liu Hong and Elder Qi left, Ye Chen said, "Miss Hei, why not come with us, your route through Celestial Cyan City would be safer."

The Black Widow glared at Ye Chen, this brat really got addicted to calling her Miss Hei?

"Am I that dark?" The Black Widow gritted her teeth.

"Ah?" Ye Chen quickly shook his head, "Fair and red!"

The Black Widow regretted saying that, her face turned red again, taking a few deep breaths to calm herself before speaking, "If I go to Celestial Cyan City and then change routes, more people will know my whereabouts. Plus, Liu Hong is giving you face, not me."

Ye Chen laughed, "He's not giving me face either, he's giving face to the one who intervened in the end."

"Your Guardian?" The Black Widow finally voiced her doubt.

Ye Chen shook his head, "I don't know, I also don't know who it is, just seeing that bump on Liu Hong's head, I figure he got beaten, and now he is both respectful and afraid of me, so that's why I guessed."

The Black Widow was doubtful, but since Ye Chen wouldn't say, she let it be.

"Alright then, I'm leaving," the Black Widow said, turning and walking away.

Ye Chen didn't try to keep the Black Widow with him, forcing wouldn't help, as her temperament was rather domineering.

"Miss Hei, take care on your journey," Ye Chen said.

The Black Widow turned back, glaring at Ye Chen, "Call me that again, and I'll definitely teach you a lesson!"

Ye Chen waved with a smile.

In the sunlight, his smile was bright, pure, and pleasant.

The Black Widow felt a slight stir in her heart, but then without another glance at Ye Chen, she strode away.

As the Black Widow's silhouette disappeared from view, Ye Chen came to his senses.

What did it matter if she was Miss Hei, Miss Bai, or Miss Hong? She was already my girl long ago.

After the Black Widow left, Ye Chen approached Liu Hong and Elder Qi.

Liu Hong said, "Young Master Ye, the survivors from the cloud ship have already been escorted away by the Celestial Soldier Pavilion. Now, it's just me and Elder Qi escorting you to Celestial Cyan City."

Ye Chen gave a nod.

A pavilion master from the Celestial Soldier Pavilion personally escorting, this treatment was quite top-tier.

"By the way, is Xu Tianlong from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect dead?" Ye Chen asked casually.

"..." Liu Hong replied in a low voice, "Xu Tianlong is still alive."

"No need to be nervous, I'm just asking, I didn't plan to have you kill him for me," Ye Chen said calmly.

Who the ultimate powerful intervener was, Ye Chen did not ask. Since the person did not make an appearance, it was clear they did not want him to know. Seeing the bump on Liu Hong's head, Ye Chen guessed that even if he asked, Liu Hong would not dare to tell.

Beside him, Elder Qi was filled with confusion, feeling that Ye Chen and the Moon God of the Divine Moon Ancient Kingdom must have known each other for some time. But just because of this, there was no reason for the Ninth Pavilion Master to treat Ye Chen this way!

The current Divine Moon Ancient Kingdom was not what it used to be, even the Moon God couldn't receive such treatment.

Look at how the Ninth Pavilion Master, known for being unreasonable, was almost turning into a lackey now.

Though unable to fathom it, Elder Qi dared not offend Ye Chen anymore. Seeing the Ninth Pavilion Master almost turned lackey, he made up his mind that if he ever encountered Ye Chen again, he would treat him like an ancestor!

.....

With Liu Hong personally escorting them to Celestial Cyan City, not only was the speed swift but the safety concerns were entirely taken care of.

After a day and a half, Ye Chen finally arrived at Celestial Cyan City.

Looking out, the size of Celestial Cyan City seemed boundless, with towering, majestic walls standing grand and imposing.

This was the center of Cangzhou, the most powerful place in the entire Cangzhou, where strong cultivators were as common as clouds, and prodigies emerged in numbers!

"Young Master Ye, Celestial Cyan City is divided into an outer and inner city. Once you go in, our Celestial Soldier Pavilion can have someone help you get acquainted," Liu Hong said.

Ye Chen replied, "That won't be necessary."

Liu Hong asked, "Then where does Young Master Ye plan to reside?"

Ye Chen smiled, "I'm not entering Celestial Cyan City just yet. I need to make a visit to the True Martial Hall first."

The True Martial Hall wasn't located within Celestial Cyan City.

Liu Hong's eyes flickered, smiling, "Looks like Young Master Ye intends to participate in the True Martial Hall assessment? The True Martial Hall is always recruiting, with assessments every half a year. Judging by the time, the assessment should be these days. I won't disrupt Young Master Ye's plans then.

I believe with Young Master Ye's capabilities, you'll definitely pass the assessment with ease. When you have time, our Celestial Soldier Pavilion always welcomes you as a guest."

Ye Chen cupped his hands toward Liu Hong, "Pavilion Master Liu, I take my leave."

With that, Ye Chen turned and headed alone to the True Martial Hall, filled with boundless anticipation.

The Great Zhou Dynasty was too small. Now, he finally saw the skies of Cangzhou.

Though Cangzhou's skies were vast and lofty, Ye Chen remained absolutely confident that one day, his brilliance would illuminate every corner of Cangzhou!

A new journey begins!
