Chapter 1093: Reincarnated Xie Yun

Ye Chen's rough words startled Nian Wei, causing her body to tremble. His words came out of nowhere, and she truly couldn't understand her Sheng Zhu at all.

Looking at Ye Chen, his eyes were fixed intently on the Jiu Huangzi who had just entered Wang Tian Ge. His expression was a complex mix of casual indifference, excitement, astonishment, and the deep weariness of years passed.

He saw it—he saw the reincarnated Xie Yun, who was none other than the Jiu Huangzi of the Zhuque family, Ruo Tian Xuan Yu.

That face, even after a hundred years, remained so vivid, etched permanently into his soul. Time had not dulled it in the slightest. It was his sworn brother from life and death.

Ye Chen never imagined that the last reincarnated person on Zhuque Star would be Xie Yun. He even less expected that Xie Yun's reincarnation would be the once unparalleled prodigy of the Zhuque family.

Ye Chen, you damn well have to win!

Suddenly, a hysterical roar seemed to echo in Ye Chen's ears.

It was from the final battle of Da Chu, Xie Yun and the others' dying hope, wishing for him to avenge the nine million heroic spirits of Da Chu.

Ye Chen had won; he slaughtered the Tian Mo Emperor, fulfilling their dying wish and avenging the nine million heroic spirits of Da Chu. He hadn't disappointed the beings of the myriad domains, but the tragic scene of Xie Yun and the others before their deaths still lingered vividly before his eyes.

In that moment, Ye Chen's tumultuous emotions transformed into crystalline tears, welling up in his eyes. After a hundred years of changes, reuniting with Xie Yun made him so moved that he wanted to cry.

"Sheng Zhu?"

After a long silence, Nian Wei tentatively called out to Ye Chen.

"I found it?"

Ye Chen replied with a tearful smile, laced with weariness.

"Found what?"

Nian Wei looked at Ye Chen in confusion.

"The reincarnated person."

Ye Chen raised his hand, pointing through the window at the reincarnated person below who was already seated.

"He—your Zhuque family's Jiu Huangzi, the unparalleled genius most likely to surpass his predecessors—he is the reincarnated person from my Da Chu, a disciple of Heng Yue Sect, my good brother: Xie Yun."

"The reincarnated person?"

Nian Wei was stunned. After a few seconds, she suddenly turned her head to look at the reincarnated Ye Chen, her expression full of shock.

"Jiu Huang Ge is the reincarnated Xie Yun?"

Nian Wei felt her head spin. This was an outcome she never expected. Her most respected Jiu Huang Ge was actually a reincarnated person from Da Chu.

Although she had never met Xie Yun in Da Chu, she had heard of his fame more than once. He was the good brother of the Tian Ting Sheng Zhu, from the same sect as Ye Chen, and also an exceptional talent.

The more Nian Wei looked, the more amazed her expression became. This sudden surprise left her completely unprepared.

"Sheng Zhu, I'll go call Jiu Huang Ge right away."

After the shock, Nian Wei hurriedly looked at Ye Chen.

"No need."

Ye Chen smiled.

"The alchemist selection is about to begin; there's no rush. Since I know that Ruo Tian Xuan Yu is the reincarnated Xie Yun, that's enough. From now on, he won't be fighting alone anymore."

"There's also me."

Nian Wei nodded vigorously. Now, this outcome was the best. With the connection to the reincarnated Xie Yun, Ye Chen would definitely help fully. With Ye Chen around, she felt a surge of confidence.

"The participating alchemists, please take your positions."

As the two were talking, Yue Zhen's ethereal voice came from below.

Immediately, nearly ten thousand figures stepped onto the Yun Tai, each radiating divine light, and among them, there were no shortage of stunning talents.

This scene made Ye Chen sigh inwardly. Thinking back to Da Chu, alchemists were so rare, each one a treasured asset coveted by major forces. But on Zhuque Star, they were plentiful.

As he thought this, Ye Chen also descended from the third floor and stepped onto the Yun Tai.

His appearance once again drew many people's attention. Whether it was the alchemists or the spectator cultivators, they all pointed and whispered about Ye Chen, simply because he was walking side by side with Zi Ling Princess.

"Yue Zhen, is he Ye Chen?"

On the high seat, Yue Shan glanced at Ye Chen and then looked to one side at him.

"Replying to Senior Brother, yes, it's him."

Yue Zhen hurriedly nodded. Although he was unhappy with Yue Shan's high-and-mighty attitude, he didn't dare show it on the surface and always acted respectfully.

As fellow disciples under Ku Yue, Yue Shan was much stronger than him, having entered the sect several hundred years earlier. If nothing unexpected happened, he would be Ku Yue's successor.

However, Yue Zhen was ambitious. Being several hundred years younger than Yue Shan, he was in his prime and wouldn't submit. That's why he went to great lengths to snatch Ye Chen's true fire and cause trouble for the Mu family—all just to get Ku Yue to notice him more.

"He's probably just another playboy."

Yue Hai chuckled.

"I don't know what kind of bewitchment he used to catch Zi Ling Princess's eye."

"Tricks and nonsense from a useless person."

Yue Zong leisurely sipped his Qiong Jiang Yu Lu.

"Really thinks that by climbing up to Zi Ling, he can advance? How naive."

Yue Mo had a face full of contempt and mockery.

"In the first round, brush him off to save the eyesore."

Yue Jin glanced at Ye Chen and then closed his eyes to rest.

"All you senior brothers, rest assured, I have it under control."

Yue Zhen hurriedly said, still appearing respectful on the surface, but grinding his teeth inside. Every time he saw Yue Shan and the others acting superior, he had an urge to kill.

"Ye Chen."

Compared to them, the high-seated reincarnated Xie Yun was much more composed. He lightly murmured Ye Chen's name, and in his deep eyes, a hint of confusion occasionally flashed. For some reason, it seemed like he had seen Ye Chen somewhere before, but he couldn't find any trace in his memories.

"Being able to walk side by side with Zi Ling, he must not be simple."

After gathering his thoughts, the reincarnated Xie Yun smiled slightly. But as he smiled, a trickle of fresh blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and his complexion paled considerably.

Immediately, his aura weakened, his face showed more illness, and most importantly, his cultivation dropped again in public, falling to the fourth level of Quasi-Tian Jing.

Upon seeing this, Yue Shan and Yue Zhen and the others all sneered maliciously, with a flash of vicious light in their eyes.

Ah!

The spectators all sighed, lamenting that the Jiu Huangzi of the Zhuque family had truly fallen.

On the Yun Tai, Ye Chen saw the reincarnated Xie Yun's cultivation drop and frowned instantly. Even from a distance, he could see that the reincarnated Xie Yun was in a bad state, with his Dao principles being eroded by some powerful and mysterious force. If not for Xie Yun's deep foundation, he probably couldn't suppress it anymore.

I will save you!

Subconsciously, Ye Chen moved his lips without making a sound, but it was captured by the observant reincarnated Xie Yun.

The reincarnated Xie Yun gently wiped the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth, and his brows furrowed slightly. He was sure that Ye Chen's words were directed at him, but he didn't know why Ye Chen said that to him. He only knew that Ye Chen gave him a very familiar feeling.

"In this life, I will protect your path, just as the nine million heroic spirits of Da Chu protected me a hundred years ago. Even if it means death, I will forge ahead through blood."

Looking at the reincarnated Xie Yun, Ye Chen's gaze was firmer than ever.
