Ch. 2229 The Only Way to Resolve It Is Your Death! (Second Update)

After lingering in the Heavenly Palace for a few days, Ye Chen eventually decided to leave, taking only Aben with him. The two of them walked through Heaven Ascending Ancient City, gathering more information.

This ancient city was vast and bustling, surpassing many other Divine Cities.

The streets were crowded, with cultivators from all races arriving, many of them excited, especially the younger generation.

To see those Emperor’s sons and daughters, Immortal Dao Heirs, who are usually as supreme as deities, was considered an honor for many of them.

Of course, they simply thought this was just an ordinary gathering of Emperor-level figures, exchanging and perhaps sparring, but they couldn’t imagine the terrifying dangers hidden beneath the so-called Emperor’s Feast.

They couldn’t imagine that the Combat Saint King, who had recently shaken the entire Ten Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain, was hiding among the crowd, brushing past them just like that.

The tavern was always a place where people of the Nine Streams gathered in the most numbers, also the most suitable place for gathering intelligence.

From here, one could learn many unknown tidbits of information.

Ye Chen and Aben sat at a table by the edge, silently listening to the information in the tavern.

Soon, Ye Chen learned some information about the Emperor’s sons and daughters, and the Immortal Dao Heirs.

Those who were once opposing forces in the Reverse Slaughter Emperor Realm had all arrived, staying in their respective Emperor Clan or Immortal Clan’s Heavenly Palaces, without showing themselves.

Seven Human Clan’s Emperor sons and daughters also arrived, including the familiar Emperor Ye of the Ye Family, the Supreme Holy Emperor’s twin heirs, Di Wushuang and Di Wuming, along with Shen Rong, the heir of Exterminating Immortal Supreme, and the descendant of the Angel God Emperor.

They also arrived in their Emperor Clan’s Heavenly Palace.

However, there was no news of Yuan Yang God King, Zhao Chen, or the Human Emperor’s son yet. Perhaps they had come and were hiding among the crowd, just like him.

“The Emperor’s Feast, it’s said to be a rarity across the ages, the very first one ever.”

“Emperor-level figures are hard to see even on usual days, and the so-called Human List, Earthly List can’t measure their true strength. Perhaps they could all step onto the Heavenly List.”

“In this era, how many Emperor’s sons and daughters, and Immortal Dao Heirs, any one of them is a descendant of an Emperor or Supreme Immortal. If not for the ‘Supreme’ Immortal Fate of this era, how could they emerge?”

“One thought these Emperor’s sons and daughters, and Immortal Dao Heirs would not meet until decades or centuries later, but the time came so fast.”

The tavern was filled with lively discussions.

During this period, throughout the Heaven Ascending Ancient City, whether in streets or alleys, or various places, there was no doubt that the Emperor’s Feast was the hottest topic, irreplaceable.

And it was imaginable that it would last for a long time.

After all, the emergence of the ‘Supreme’ Immortal Fate brought about the arrival of the Heavenly Emperor Clan and the Immortal Clan, creating the current bustling scene of the Ten Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain.

Emperor’s sons and daughters, and Immortal Dao Heirs were at the core of this.

The Emperor’s Feast naturally garnered universal attention.

“I wonder if the Combat Saint King will come, after all, he is a member of the Human Clan.”

Talking about the Combat Saint King made the conversation even livelier.

He was the first in history to kill a Divine King with the body of a Great Power, and also the first of the young generation in this era to kill a Divine King. The Combat Saint King was undoubtedly someone that couldn’t be ignored.

There’s no denying that as the strongest Young Supreme, the Combat Saint King, being an Emperor-level Heavenly talent, had a seat at the Emperor’s Feast.

“Moon, they’re talking about you.” Aben’s bright eyes lifted slightly, looking somewhat amusedly at her husband beside her.

Ye Chen rubbed his nose, feeling a bit embarrassed.

But at this point, his fame was well known, not inferior to the sons and daughters of the Heavenly Emperor Clan, the Immortal Dao Heirs, and even surpassed most of them.

Isn’t all of this because he suppressed two Emperor’s sons and daughters consecutively and killed a Divine King?

Everyone believed that the Combat Saint King surely had a seat at the Emperor’s Feast.

And they thought since he belonged to the Human Clan, he would surely come.

But these people didn’t know that the Combat Saint King had really arrived and was quietly listening to their conversation at this very tavern.

“Hmph, what Emperor’s Feast, it’s just a Feast of Treachery, after all.”

Suddenly, someone coldly spoke, silencing the entire tavern in an instant.

Feast of Treachery?

What does that mean?

Even Ye Chen, who originally wanted to leave, stopped moving, intrigued, and this person seemed to know some inside information.

“Fellow Daoist, what do you mean by this? Such words should not be spoken lightly.” Someone interjected.

The Emperor’s Feast, related to the Emperor Clan and Immortal Clan, had significant implications. Anyone who dared to spread falsehoods was courting death.

The person who divulged the inside story was a mysterious person in a black robe, but he said nothing further and walked directly to Ye Chen and Aben’s table, speaking softly, “Fellow Daoist, may I have a seat at this table?”

“Please!”

Ye Chen did not refuse.

Aben also looked curiously at this person, though with some caution.

The black-robed person sat down, his black robe preventing others from probing him, indicating that his background was extraordinary.

Ye Chen did not specifically investigate the other party but pretended to not understand the meaning and asked, “What do you mean by what you said earlier?”

The black-robed person smiled, “The so-called Emperor’s Feast is just a scheme by the Alien Race. Their goal is to provoke the Human Clan’s Emperor’s sons and daughters, to act at the Emperor’s Feast and capture them all in one go.”

Ye Chen was shocked, not expecting this person to know the truth behind it.

Such things are not something the Royal Clan or even ordinary top forces can fully understand.

Ye Chen further inquired, “If that’s the case, the Human Clan’s Emperor’s sons and daughters should also know the seriousness and yet, why do they still come?”

“Not that they want to come, but they have no choice.” The black-robed person responded.

“I’d like to hear the details!”

“The Human Clan’s Emperor’s sons and daughters not coming would show cowardice, drastically lowering the morale of the Human Clan. The Alien Race could take the opportunity to provoke and suppress the Human Clan, causing anger within the Human Clan and leading to war with the Alien Race,” the black-robed person said, “Amid this war between the Human Clan and the Alien Race, in the end, as heirs of the Human Emperor Clan, the Emperor’s sons and daughters would still have to intervene, and the final outcome remains unchanged.”

“But if they don’t come for the Emperor’s Feast and appear later, the Human Clan would have already been fully suppressed, and in the invisible process, would lose a lot of living forces. Such behavior is foolish.”

“Therefore, they have no choice but to come.”

Ye Chen and Aben exchanged glances, both shocked. This explanation was consistent with Ye Chen’s thoughts, but more concise.

Who exactly was this person, and why did he know so many secrets?

Ye Chen clenched his fists, “May I ask, how should the Human Clan resolve this?”

“The solution is simple—” the black-robed person said, but then suddenly, from beneath the black robe, a bright light burst forth, completely enveloping Ye Chen, “it’s for you to die—”

“Combat Saint King!”
