Primordial Star Scripture

Chapter 408 370

What Huo Mei'er didn't know was that Ye Chen had already instructed the nine Frozen Protectors to pay close attention to the situation inside the Sand Sea Palace auction house as soon as he entered.

When Ao Lei was about to make his move previously, all nine protectors within the Ice Snow Jade Pendant wanted to burst out and teach this insolent youth a lesson for disrespecting Ye Chen.

Their Highness Ye Chen was not someone to be insulted!

The nine Frozen Protectors even informed Ye Chen that they had assessed the strengths of the two Heavenly Saint Realm experts behind Ao Lei. The strength of these two was not strong among the late-stage Heavenly Saint Realm, and neither of them could compare to any of the protectors.

With the nine Frozen Protectors as his trump card, Ye Chen naturally wouldn't fear Ao Lei.

As soon as Ao Lei ordered the two late-stage Heavenly Saint Realm experts to act, Ye Chen immediately had Bing Shijiu and Bing Shiba come out.

Bing Shijiu and Bing Shiba had long wanted to deal with Ao Lei's side. Once Ye Chen allowed them to act, the two protectors struck like lightning, repelling the two late-stage Heavenly Saint experts from Ao Lei's side with a single blow!

Ye Chen was well prepared. Huo Mei'er, the onlooking warriors, and the delicate young girl selling the "Five-Leaf Celestial Fragrance Fruit" were still in shock, while Ao Lei was utterly disbelieving at this point.

Ao Lei could never have imagined that the early-stage Danxiang youth whom he deemed unworthy would have two late-stage Heavenly Saint Realm assistants.

Moreover, these two assistants were stronger than his Quan Uncle and Hu Uncle!

"This... this..."

Ao Lei was already somewhat dumbfounded.

Since when did the thirty-three continents have such a powerful young man with such a background?

How had he never heard of this young man before?

Ao Lei had already decided to thoroughly investigate Ye Chen's background.

"Young Master!"

While Ao Lei was in turmoil, the two late-stage Heavenly Saint Realm experts who had been repelled by Bing Shijiu and Bing Shiba had returned to Ao Lei's side with shocked expressions.

They, along with three mid-stage Heavenly Saint Realm experts, tightly guarded Ao Lei. At the same time, the two late-stage Heavenly Saint Realm experts said to Bing Shijiu and Bing Shiba, "Two respected friends, you are very impressive. Ao Quan and Ao Hu admire you! May we know where you cultivated?"

From their words, it was already clear that they were conceding to Ye Chen.

This made Ao Lei extremely unhappy, but he knew that his two uncles were protecting him, especially now that their side was at a disadvantage in terms of strength.

"Your Highness, how should we deal with these people?"

Bing Shijiu and Bing Shiba of course didn't bother with what Ao Quan and Ao Hu said. They turned to Ye Chen, waiting for his next command.

"Alright, seniors, you can come back now," Ye Chen waved his hand.

After taking Bing Shijiu and Bing Shiba back into the Ice Snow Jade Pendant, Ye Chen looked at Ao Lei with a half-smile, "This time, let's just leave it at that. But if you provoke me again, it won't be so easy to let you off!"

"You..." Hearing Ye Chen's words, Ao Lei was furious inside.

Accustomed to arrogance, he had not expected Ye Chen to be even more domineering, openly threatening him!

Ao Lei almost couldn't help but explode in rage, but the two late-stage Heavenly Saint Realm experts, Ao Quan and Ao Hu, behind him kept making eye signals at him, and their voices transmitted urgently, "Young Master, the situation is compelling, don't be impulsive. We are no match for that young man right now. Clashing head-on would be foolish. Let's wait for the two elder brothers to return!"

The words of Ao Quan and Ao Hu sobered Ao Lei somewhat. He looked at Ye Chen, suppressed the anger in his eyes, and flicked his sleeve, "This time I admit defeat to you, but there are always more encounters in life. We shall meet again!"

After leaving behind a spiteful remark, Ao Lei led the Heavenly Saint Realm experts away.

After walking a distance, Ao Lei vented to the two late-stage Heavenly Saint Realm experts, "This is infuriating. In front of so many warriors, I've lost so much face!"

"Quan Uncle, Hu Uncle, where did Xuan Uncle and Ming Uncle go, why haven't they come back yet?"

"If they had been here, I could've taught that kid a harsh lesson just now. Xuan Uncle and Ming Uncle could definitely defeat those two late-stage Heavenly Saint Realm experts, right?"

Ao Quan and Ao Hu nodded, "Elder Brother Xuan and Elder Brother Ming could certainly overcome those two. Although they are strong in the late Heavenly Saint Realm, Elder Brother Xuan and Elder Brother Ming are among the top ten in the late-stage Heavenly Saint Realm of our Wan Beast Alliance."

"Young Master, let's not focus on that young man for now. The upcoming grand auction is the main event. Elder Brother Xuan and Elder Brother Ming have gone to communicate with the organizers of the grand auction to inquire about that supreme treasure."

"That supreme treasure is tied to the most important goal of your Five Elements Mountain adventure, and must not be taken lightly."

A treasured item?

Upon hearing "Ao Quan" and "Ao Hu" mention these two words, "Ao Lei's" anger subsided somewhat, and a glint of anticipation appeared in his eyes, "Quan, Hu, will that treasured item really be auctioned at the grand auction?"

"Absolutely!" Ao Quan and Ao Hu nodded affirmatively at the same time, "However, once that treasured item appears, it will certainly provoke a fierce competition among the major forces. If Brother "Xuan" and Brother "Ming" could negotiate with the organizer of the auction in advance to buy that treasure, that would be perfect."

"No matter what, I must get that treasured item!" Ao Lei spoke grimly, "Once I have the treasured item in hand and when Uncle "Xuan" and Uncle "Ming" are free, we will then deal with that boy!"

"You three, go and gather information on that boy for me now; no matter the cost, I want a clear picture!" Ao Lei commanded the three Heavenly Saint Realm mid-stage martial artists beside him even more decisively.

"Yes, Young Master!" The three Heavenly Saint Realm mid-stage martial artists responded and instantly vanished from sight.

"This time father sent seven experts to help me explore the Five Elements Mountain, four at the late stage of Heavenly Saint Realm and three at the mid-stage. I thought with Uncle Quan and Uncle Hu, I would have enough power to roam freely throughout the Heavenly Evolution Continent, yet I didn't expect to trip up as soon as I arrived!"

"Hmph, this vengeance, I will repay sooner or later!"

Every time Ao Lei recalled the way Ye Chen had publicly ignored and slapped him in the face, he felt deeply uncomfortable; he was too proud to swallow this insult.

He also had two even more powerful late-stage Heavenly Saint Realm uncles who had come along this time but had yet to show themselves.

Their Beast Alliance spanned five continents, with dozen of late-stage Heavenly Saint Realm existences. His father was the number one figure within the Beast Alliance, an exceedingly close to becoming a Void Sky True God late-stage Heavenly Saint Realm peak powerhouse.

With this solid backing, he had the confidence to reclaim the respect he'd lost and settle accounts with Ye Chen!

...

"Ye Chen, that Ao Lei likely harbors deep jealousy toward you, you must be careful."

Seeing Ao Lei leave, "Huo Mei'er" whispered to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen smiled, "When soldiers come, block; when water comes, cover with earth. Here in the Sand Sea Palace, fighting isn't allowed, nor is there any need to argue with them. It's more important to search for treasures. However, if they come looking for trouble again, then like I said, I definitely won't let them off."

Huo Mei'er grew even more curious about Ye Chen, who didn't seem to take Ao Lei seriously at all.

"What kind of secrets does Ye Chen harbor…"

"A youth from the Barbaric Wilderness Continent, a young genius of the Heavenly Sacred Palace." Huo Mei'er's beautiful eyes sparkled, "Truly a mysterious and interesting young man!"

After the gambling fight, Ye Chen had inquired about Huo Mei'er, who had become increasingly curious about Ye Chen, and naturally made her own inquiries about him.

Huo Mei'er had a feeling that the two late-stage Heavenly Saint Realm powerhouses who had taken action for Ye Chen were still not his ultimate trump cards.

"Ye Chen, will you be attending the grand auction tonight?"

Keeping her curiosity about Ye Chen to herself, Huo Mei'er smiled and asked him again.

"Attend, of course I will attend. I heard that there will be eighteen items to be auctioned, including three headline treasures. I'm eager to see what those items will be." Ye Chen nodded.

"Headline treasures?"

Huo Mei'er's beautiful eyes twinkled, "I'm not sure about the other items, but I do know that one of the three headline treasures has a connection with one of my sisters."

"Sister?" Ye Chen was taken aback.

Huo Mei'er smiled softly, "This sister of mine, she's only three years older than me, but she has always been shrouded in mystery. I've only met her twice. Ever since she took on the role of the Little Saintess of the Tianmiao Continent's Luoshui Holy Land, she has never left there."

"It's quite rare for her to be willing to part with one of the holy land's water-based treasures. This time, I'm determined to fight for that treasure."

"The sister you're talking about, isn't she the Little Saintess of Tianmiao Continent, one of the five continents connected to the five great Void Sky Laws, associated with the water system Void Sky Law?" Ye Chen was surprised, "One of the three headline treasures has something to do with her?"

Ye Chen had heard that the heirs of the holy lands of the Heavenly Evolution Continent and Tianmiao Continent were two Little Saintesses.

He had met the Little Saintess of the Leaving Fire Continent, Huo Mei'er, but he had not imagined that the Little Saintess of the Tianmiao Continent would also be connected with the grand auction.

"What kind of treasure could it be?"

Ye Chen was already looking forward to the grand auction of the Sand Sea Palace that evening!
