Chapter 897: I Have Connections

Chapter 897: I Have Someone Above Me

Boom!

As Ye Chen roared, the two chaos worlds collided once more, erupting in a thunderous roar that shook the heavens and split the earth.

On the spot, the black Ye Chen's chaos world trembled and began to crumble visibly, inch by inch—mountains and rivers, trees and plants, flowers and grass, all disintegrating into nothingness.

Break!

Ye Chen roared again, his chaos world dominating over the black Ye Chen's. It was a magnificent realm, yet it carried the might of world-ending destruction, unstoppable by anyone.

Boom!

With a thunderous crash like lightning, the black Ye Chen's chaos world dissolved into mist.

Without the protection of the outer path dharma, the black Ye Chen was gradually crushed beneath Ye Chen's chaos world. No matter how strong he was, he could not turn the tide, and he melted into a pool of black water, returning once more to Wuwang Daze.

Boom!

Ye Chen's chaos world also collapsed, dissipating bit by bit.

Vanishing along with it were the illusions of Chu Xuan and Chu Ling and the others. Notably, as they faded, each of them smiled at Ye Chen, as if awaiting his return.

Wait for me!

Ye Chen managed a weary smile, his dim eyes finally closing, and he plummeted helplessly from the virtual sky.

The dark and silent Wuwang Daze returned to calm in that instant.

Only then did the tranquil surface of the water stir again with black terrifying waves, swallowing the unconscious Ye Chen on the spot.

The night was pitch-black and serene.

Outside Wuwang Daze, above the Panlong Sea Domain, the crowds of people still numbered like the ocean.

It had been a full month since they had driven Ye Chen into Wuwang Daze.

However, Shixue Yanluo and Xue Ling Laozu were no longer there, seemingly having left, leaving only the various factions to guard the area in case Ye Chen emerged alive.

Under the cover of night, the leaders of the major factions gathered together, occasionally glancing toward the dark Wuwang Daze. "After so long, he should have died in there. That is Wuwang Daze, after all."

"Say, why don't we pull out?" Someone shivered as they looked at the distant Wuwang Daze. "This place is just too damn creepy."

"Pull out, then?" The heads of the various factions exchanged glances.

"Let's pull out." One of them stood up immediately. "I don't want to stay in this godforsaken place for even a second longer."

"I like the sound of that." As soon as someone spoke, others chimed in agreement, rising to their feet and leading their people away, each returning to their own homes.

Thus, the Panlong Sea Domain, which had been teeming with people just a moment ago, instantly became empty, with nothing but the rolling terrifying waves.

Only later did a few figures materialize before Wuwang Daze. Upon closer inspection, they were Xiao Chen, Long Teng, Di Fan, Qian Shang Yue, Da Chu Huang Yan, Nan Ming Yu Shu, Zhou Tian Yi, and the others.

"Are you sure we should go in?" Long Teng scanned the group.

"I can sense that he's still alive." Da Chu Huang Yan spoke softly. "The forbidden grounds of Da Chu aren't necessarily a place of certain death."

"In that case, let's take a look." With that, Long Teng took the first step forward.

However, before he could enter Wuwang Daze, a large hand reached out from behind and yanked him back, followed by a deep, cold snort. "Going in to die?"

At these words, everyone frowned and turned around to look behind them.

There, a tall and slender young man was approaching slowly. His black hair cascaded like a waterfall, his eyes shone like stars, and his body was enveloped in dragon qi. As he walked, faint, majestic dragon roars echoed subtly.

This person was none other than Tai Xu Gu Long.

Long Teng and the others furrowed their brows once more, feeling a powerful pressure from Tai Xu Gu Long. Though his aura was not as strong as their fathers', the oppressive force made their hearts tremble.

"Is this Wuwang Daze?" Behind Tai Xu Gu Long, many figures followed, including Dao Huang, Tian Zong Lao Zu, Zhong Jiang, Zhuge Yu, Huang Dao Gong, Hao Tian Xuan Zhen, and Chu Ling Er and the others.

"Ye Chen." The others might not have reacted much, but as soon as Chu Ling Er appeared, she tried to rush into Wuwang Daze.

"Ling Er, what did we say before we came?" Heng Yue Zhen Ren and the others acted decisively, restraining Chu Ling Er in place. Even Hao Tian Xuan Zhen beside her was blocked from entering Wuwang Daze.

"The soul jade pendant hasn't shattered—he's still alive." Tai Xu Gu Long narrowed his eyes slightly as he stared at Wuwang Daze, his dragon eyes filled with wariness.

"Isn't there something we can do besides just standing here watching?" Zhuge Lao Tou glanced at Wuwang Daze and then at the group. "How about sending an avatar in first to check it out?"

"It won't work." Tai Xu Gu Long took a deep breath. "I've tried—it cuts off the connection with the main body."

"Open the heavenly eye and take a look." Zhuge Lao Tou's third vertical eye opened at his brow, gleaming with mysterious light as he fixed his gaze on Wuwang Daze.

Ugh!

Soon, he let out a miserable cry and clutched his heavenly eye. Faintly visible through his fingers was blood seeping out.

"How does it feel?" Tai Xu Gu Long kept his eyes on Wuwang Daze while casually remarking, "I told you not to mess with the heavenly eye. Seeing things you shouldn't can have serious consequences."

"You old hag, did you say that?" Zhuge Lao Tou yelled at the top of his lungs.

"Didn't I just say it?"

"You #￥%&*#￥*&."

This was an ancient city in the mortal world, known as Wangu City.

The night in Wangu City was still bustling, with crowded streets full of people, red lanterns hanging high and casting a warm glow. Everywhere, vendors hawked their goods, and street performers wielded spears and sticks in displays of skill.

Everything was so beautiful, everything so peaceful.

Yet, this beauty and peace were shattered by waves of noisy commotion.

I have someone above me!

The voice was rough and violent.

Quickly, the attention of people on the street was drawn, and they scattered to avoid the scene.

Looking over, there was a burly man, massive and muscular, exuding a bandit-like aura.

At that moment, he was spitting as he cursed.

The three or five lackeys with him were surrounding two slender scholars—or more accurately, two women disguised as men; otherwise, why would they be wearing earrings?

"Committing violence in broad daylight—is there no law?" The white-robed female scholar rebuked.

"Law?" The burly man laughed wildly, his laughter suddenly stopping as a ferocious expression twisted his face. "I have someone above me, so I'm the damn law."

"Do you know who I am?" Though intimidated, the white-robed female scholar mustered her courage and rebuked again. "If you touch me, my father won't let you get away with it."

"You're quite bold. I already said, I have someone above me." The burly man laughed lewdly, rubbing his hands as he advanced. "Little miss, come with me."

"What are you doing? If you come any closer, I'll... I'll call for help!"

"Call away! Scream all you want! I have someone above me, I—"

"Hey, hey, hey? What's that?" Before the burly man could finish, one of his lackeys shouted in alarm.

As soon as the words were out, not just the onlookers and the two female scholars, but even the burly man ready to attack, instinctively looked up, their eyes wide.

There, a human-shaped shadow was falling at a speed of one hundred and eighty miles per hour.

Instinctively, everyone covered their ears—except for the burly man.

Boom!

A massive explosion soon echoed through the entire ancient city, making the ground tremble.

The burly man, who had been standing tall a second ago, was now flat on the ground, forming a perfect spread-eagle shape and smashing a human-sized crater into the earth.

The whole scene fell silent, with collective mourning.

"Where the hell did that come from?" Only after a while did someone instinctively look up at the sky, baffled by the person who had just fallen and turned someone into a fool without warning.

"This guy's 'someone above' is really savage!" Someone else swallowed hard.

"How did he fall like that?" Many stared blankly at the man now pinning the burly one down.

Well, it was indeed a person—more precisely, a man; even more precisely, a man covered in blood; and most precisely, a blood-soaked man who had fallen unconscious.

Correct, it was Ye Chen, somehow emerging from Wuwang Daze and ending up in the mortal world.

But one thing was certain: his entrance was absolutely epic.
