Chapter 1664 - 1471: Seeking the Hidden Gate (Part 2)

"Are all those swords Immortal Artifacts?"

A closer look made Big Beard's eyes nearly bulge out.

Many others also noticed this.

"Damn, that kid actually has so many Immortal Swords?"

"One of these Immortal Swords must cost at least a million Spirit Stones, right? From the looks of it, there are at least a thousand here, maybe even ten hundred thousand... My God, I can't even calculate how many Spirit Stones this is worth."

"Are you dumb? What's there to calculate? It's probably hundreds of billions of Spirit Stones."

"Goodness gracious, so many Spirit Stones could buy several floating cities."

The crowd was in an uproar.

Everyone was stunned by how Ye Guichen suddenly summoned so many Immortal Swords.

Ye Guichen grumbled internally.

This is just a part of my Immortal Swords, isn't it?

There are probably tens of thousands of Immortal Artifacts in the entire Sword Tomb.

The most powerful move is called Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin.

That's truly ten thousand swords launching together.

According to the Carefree Sword Immortal, this move, when executed, can instantly kill tens of thousands of Immortals.

What kind of concept is that?

Unimaginable.

But now is clearly not the time to think about that.

The greed in Big Beard's eyes was no longer concealable: "Haha, all these Immortal Swords are mine now! I can't believe there's such a big haul this time! Kid, don't you know the principle of not flaunting your wealth? Since you've shown them now, these are no longer yours!"

As he finished, Big Beard suddenly retracted his fishing line.

The Sword Array also rapidly shrank, and it seemed Ye Guichen was losing control over it.

Seeing the situation was bad, Qin Ruoshui had to raise his large sword and slash at the fishing line.

But when the sword hit the fishing line, it was immediately chipped.

It was fortunate that Qin Ruoshui's sword wasn't a mere ordinary weapon, otherwise it might have been cut in two.

Ye Guichen felt that if he persisted, he would surely have his Immortal Artifacts stolen by Big Beard, and he urgently shouted at Black Dragon: "Hey, Lao Hei, if you don't make a move now, I'm dead!"

"Haha, with just this little ability, why act like a hero." Black Dragon grinned, full of disdain.

Then, he raised his hand and lightly gestured.

Before anyone understood what happened, the fishing rod in Big Beard's hand suddenly lost control and released Ye Guichen's Sword Array, flinging out and cutting Big Beard in half.

This fishing line was an Immortal Artifact, and when it struck Big Beard, it even severed his soul.

Big Beard couldn't figure out how he suddenly died, even at his last moment.

Black Dragon lightly gestured again, and the Immortal-grade fishing rod flew into Ye Guichen's hand.

"Haha, now I have an Immortal Artifact too." Black Dragon grinned, casually flicking the fishing rod in his hand.

The fishing line whipped out, instantly slaying dozens of pirates.

The remaining pirates' pupils contracted, and they screamed in terror, fleeing towards their floating city.

Facing Black Dragon, they had no power to resist.

As a result, Black Dragon flicked the fishing rod once more.

Those who had just taken to the air with their weapons were struck down again.

The small number left fled in panic to their floating city.

Black Dragon glanced at the nearby floating city and flicked his fishing rod again.

With a faint sound, the massive floating city was abruptly split in half, instantly breaking into two.

The power system within the halved city was instantly shattered, starting to tilt and sink.

The pirates on the floating city cried out in terror but were helpless.

"This, this..." Everyone was stunned.

Their gaze toward Black Dragon completely changed.

Earlier, without even lifting a finger, Black Dragon could obliterate pirates with a glance.

Now, when he took action, he easily destroyed the enemy's floating city in a few strokes.

What kind of person is this?

Ye Guichen didn't expect Black Dragon to be so ruthless.

And so final in his actions.

That was a floating city, if he had kept it, becoming the City Lord would mean a continuous stream of income, wouldn't that be great?

But you just destroyed it.

Damn, such a wastrel!

Ye Guichen cursed Black Dragon in his heart, but didn't dare say it out loud.

Otherwise, though Black Dragon wouldn't kill him, torturing him would be easy.

However, after their shock at Black Dragon's prowess, many quickly turned their gaze to Ye Guichen, who seemed more like the master while Black Dragon appeared as the master's bodyguard.

"Dear brother, thank you for saving us!" Qin Ruoshui snapped back to reality and cupped his hands toward Ye Guichen.

Xie Biwen quickly ran over to Ye Guichen, and quipped at Qin Ruoshui with a grin: "Haha, City Lord Qin, he's my brother. I knew my brother wasn't an ordinary person. Today, it was all thanks to his benevolence; otherwise, those pirates wouldn't have even gotten close before being killed."

Acting as if he were the main character.

Ye Guichen was speechless.

There wasn't anything particularly displeasing about Xie Biwen.

Just giving a wry smile, he then said to Qin Ruoshui: "So you are City Lord Qin, it's an honor."

Qin Ruoshui sighed: "You're teasing me. Without you and that expert, my floating city would have been lost today."

"By the way, where are you planning to go? If you don't mind, I'd be willing to take you there." Qin Ruoshui did not press Ye Guichen on his background and origin.

Given Ye Guichen had unleashed thousands of Immortal Swords, and not to mention Black Dragon as such a formidable fighter, many were already pondering.

Ye Guichen must be from the far reaches of the Chaos Sea, where the Immortals reside.

Not only that, but he's probably among the elite of the Immortals. Otherwise, how could he have thousands of Immortal Swords at once?

An aristocrat among Immortals.

The thought alone was chilling.

So, it's wise to befriend such a person rather than offend him.

It was also Big Beard and the other pirates' bad luck to encounter Ye Guichen, otherwise, their floating city would have been seized.

Ye Guichen knew it was extraordinarily troublesome to reach the far end of the Chaos Sea.

Now that the hidden gate is about to open.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to destroy it before it opens if possible.

"Can you take me to the hidden gate?" Ye Guichen asked with a smile.

Qin Ruoshui's pupils slightly shrank: "You want to go to the hidden gate?"

After a brief pause, he hurriedly added: "I've heard that the hidden gate is particularly unstable lately, and the Demon Clan might emerge from it. Once they do, the entire Chaos Sea will likely be devastated. At that time, Immortals will come to suppress them. Going there would be courting death, wouldn't it?"

"Yes, brother, why do you want to go there? Now, all floating cities are avoiding the hidden gate, not wanting to get involved in such a major cause." Xie Biwen also advised.

Ye Guichen looked up and smiled: "If the Demon Clan does come out, how much would it be worth to slay the Great Demon King there and acquire its Demon Core?"

Pah!

Hearing Ye Guichen's words, Xie Biwen nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Slay the Great Demon King there?

What an international joke.

"Brother, do you know what creatures are sealed within the hidden gate? The Great Demon King there is likely at the level of a Demon Saint. Do you know what level a Demon Saint is? My God, it's unimaginable. Among Immortals, they are elite, and such beings might obliterate you with a mere sneeze, yet you want to kill them?"

Xie Biwen gave Ye Guichen a sidelong glance and said earnestly: "Brother, you really shouldn't go there."

Ye Guichen thought differently.

Back then, the young master of the Demon Clan went missing. There's a high chance they went near the hidden gate.

Moreover, according to Black Dragon, even if the seal of the hidden gate is unstable, it wouldn't open all at once.

The seal could only open gradually.

In that case, the strongest Demon Clan member wouldn't come out first.

Ye Guichen could stay there with Black Dragon, waiting for the opportunity to kill any Demon Clan member that emerges.

If the Demon Clan at the end was too powerful, then running away would be the best option.

However, doing so could yield countless powerful Demon Cores, so why not do it?

Besides, taking this opportunity could allow Ye Guichen to break into the Nascent Soul Realm and enter the Divinity Transformation Realm.

Moreover, with Black Dragon's help, even defeating a Demon Saint might be possible.

Thinking of this made Ye Guichen a bit excited.

This must be done!

"City Lord Qin, could you take me near the hidden gate? If there is any danger, you can leave, and I won't hold you accountable."

Ye Guichen sincerely said.

Though Qin Ruoshui was unwilling at heart, he remembered that without Ye Guichen, his city would likely have been lost.

He bit his lip, then lightly nodded and agreed, "Alright! I'll take you there!"
