Hell Emperor.

Chapter 554 Ye Jie - Legend
"The master of the Ten Thousand Snake Cave actually ran away..."

Looking into the distance, Su Miao did not come back to her senses until the figure of the Lord of the Ten Thousand Snake Cave completely disappeared.

The Lord of the Ten Thousand Snake Cave, who was extremely powerful and unrivaled in the continent and not at the same level as everyone else, was actually scared away by Ye Jie in just a few moves?
If word of this were to get out, it would probably cause a huge uproar. A giant evil figure like the Lord of the Ten Thousand Snake Cave would never be so embarrassed, and would almost have to run away with his tail between his legs!

"H-How on earth did you do that?"

Without the threat of the Lord of the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave, Su Miao could no longer suppress her curiosity. She pestered Ye Jie and insisted on asking him for the truth. How come after not seeing him for a while, Ye Jie's strength became so confusing to her?

"Well, you should ask the master of the Ten Thousand Snake Cave himself."

Ye Jie felt helpless as she pestered him. He explained casually while glancing into the distance.

Shen Qingge flew down and landed next to Li Fei'e. Their eyes met, and they both saw the excitement and joy of reunion in each other's eyes.

"Moth, you have changed..."

Shen Qingge had a sharp eye and noticed the subtle changes in Li Fei'e's appearance. He also guessed roughly what she had experienced on Guluan Peak. He couldn't help but sigh softly, with self-blame welling up in his eyes. He blamed himself for not being by her side.

"Master, you haven't changed."

In response to this, Li Fei'e just smiled with relief. Even though she had practiced hard in Jingyue Cave for thirty years and falsely reported five thousand years in the Book of Life and Death, when she returned in front of Shen Qingge, her state of mind returned to that of a disciple.

"Are you all okay?"

Ye Jie walked slowly over and asked everyone.

The Lord of the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave was incredibly powerful. Whether in terms of realm or technique, he could crush everyone present. Even if they were slightly touched by him, the outcome would be either death or disability. Ye Jie was really worried that something unexpected would happen to everyone.

Ye Jie's concerned eyes also fell on Li Fei'e. In response, Li Fei'e just snorted and said unyieldingly:
"Since you have such a powerful trick, why didn't you use it right from the beginning? You almost got me hurt..."

Ye Jie coughed dryly and reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth: "I haven't tested the effect of the King of Hell's call, not to mention that it might attract the wrath of the heaven. If I wasn't forced to do it, I wouldn't want to use this trick... By the way, are you okay with your injury?"

Li Fei'e turned her head away, but deliberately stretched out a hand and said in a feigned anger: "Is there anything wrong with me? You can check it yourself."

Shen Qingge looked at the two people who were so intimate, and suddenly remembered something. His cold eyes dimmed a little, and he couldn't help but sigh.

After chatting for a while, several figures suddenly appeared in the distance. Yunxiu leaned over alertly and said, "Fairy Fei'e, and all the immortals, it seems that someone is coming."

Su Miao glanced over there and signaled her not to worry: "Don't worry, those are people from the Beiming Sword Sect. They must have noticed that the aura of the Master of the Ten Thousand Snake Cave has disappeared, so they came over to investigate."

Sure enough, soon a group of elders who were on high alert, as well as reinforcements who had heard the news, came in front of the crowd.

"Where is the master of the Ten Thousand Snake Cave? If a divine general comes to help and cooperates with us to form a sword formation, we must teach him a lesson!"

As soon as the elders saw Ye Jie and others, they immediately asked questions.

The elder who had led Shen Qingge and the others here before was also in the team. He recognized the identities of everyone and stepped forward to introduce them:

"Replying to the Supreme Elder, they are from the Xuannv Sect. Some disciples saw the Master of the Ten Thousand Snake Cave fleeing in a hurry. They left in a hurry, and there were thunder bombardments along the way. They must have helped to drive the Master of the Ten Thousand Snake Cave away."

"I see... I never thought that it was you who saved the Bei Ming Sword Sect in the end."

Hearing this, the Grand Elder also revealed a serious look. He and several other reclusive elders all lived in the depths of the North Sea. Even if they knew that the Lord of the Ten Thousand Snake Cave was attacking, they would not be able to get there in a while. If it were not for everyone's help, I am afraid that the Sword Sect would not be able to escape this time.

The Grand Elder's gaze swept across the crowd, and finally landed on Li Fei'e. It was obvious that only she, who was at the peak of the sixth level, was qualified to fight the Lord of the Ten Thousand Snake Cave:
"I wonder if the fairy could tell us your fairy name? We can then engrave your name on the stone tablet in front of the hall, so that future disciples can pass on your achievements today."

"No..." Li Fei'e opened his mouth and was about to say something, but suddenly noticed the look in Ye Jie's eyes. He was used to a quiet life and obviously didn't want to cause any more trouble, especially the ability of the King of Hell to call the police. Of course, the fewer people who knew about it, the better. So he said, "Okay... My fairy name is Fei'e Fairy, not the moth of moth, but the e of fairy e."

The Supreme Elder took note of it seriously. Although the Lord of the Ten Thousand Snake Cave was temporarily repelled, the situation was not peaceful now. The Lord of the Ten Thousand Snake Cave might make a comeback at any time. It would be great to have such a strong ally. He immediately instructed his disciples to record the name of Fairy Fei'e carefully.

"I have long heard that the descendant of Xuannv is of extraordinary talent, punishing evil and eliminating evil, and taking heaven's way as his own responsibility. After seeing her today, I find that her reputation is indeed well-deserved."

Behind the Grand Elder, a man with a fair face, standing on auspicious clouds and holding a dragon stick in his hand, walked slowly forward and smiled faintly at Li Fei'e. Even the Grand Elder's eyes showed a bit more respect when he saw him.

"The name of the fairy Fei'e is really wonderful. It has both the artistic conception of a fairy leaving the world and the beauty of a moth flying and dancing. It is really a blessing to be able to meet such a fairy."

Li Fei'e responded calmly: "Thank you for the compliment. I wonder what the name of this immortal is..."

"I am the Jiachen Divine General under the command of True Lord Dangmo. Now I heard that the Sword Sect was in trouble, so I came here to support them. I didn't expect that Fairy Fei'e would defeat the powerful enemy without my help. I wonder how Fairy Fei'e will compensate me?"

The corner of Jiachen God General's mouth curled up, and there was a bit of frivolity and teasing in his tone. His realm was comparable to Li Fei'e's, both were at the peak of the sixth transformation, and he was confident that he could fight the Lord of the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave.

Li Fei'e was speechless and frowned, "Why should I compensate you?" Jiachen God General waved his finger and said, "I came to support you fully equipped, but I didn't even see the shadow of the strong enemy. If I return in disappointment, it would be a bit unreasonable, right? Who will come to support us if we encounter such a thing in the future? How about this, I don't want Fairy Fei'e to compensate me for anything else, as long as the fairy is willing to have lunch with me."

There was a hint of complacency between the brows of General Jiachen. As a general, his status was not inferior to that of the descendant of Xuannv. Moreover, his appearance was very handsome. All the immortal kings with high realms had immortal looks and beards that almost dragged on the ground. They would not deliberately embellish their faces like him. I don't know how many fairies' hearts he had won. I think this time would be no exception.

However, Li Fei'e's answer was somewhat beyond his expectations:

"The Lord of the Ten Thousand Snake Cave is not dead yet. If you want compensation, I will give you the mission of chasing him, so that you don't come here in vain. You can destroy the Lord of the Ten Thousand Snake Cave."

The Grand Elder seemed to have seen something and took the initiative to speak: "The Lord of the Ten Thousand Snake Cave is quite fierce. Even if we are temporarily repelled, we must not let our guard down. Who knows what he will do next? He is like a poisonous snake, lurking in the dark, which is the most deadly. We must not chase him alone. Fairy Fei'e's suggestion is good, but we must be cautious."

General Jiachen shrugged his shoulders and said, "It doesn't matter. Even Fairy Fei'e can repel the Lord of Ten Thousand Snakes Cave. I think the so-called Lord of Ten Thousand Snakes Cave is just so-so. He is just in name only. When I take action, he won't even know how he died. Fairy's kindness is hard to refuse, but since the Supreme Elder refuses, I will not force it. Anyway, as long as the Lord of Ten Thousand Snakes Cave is still alive, it is not me who is threatened, but the disciples of the Sword Sect."

The Grand Elder remained silent, and behind General Jiachen, another general in red armor seemed to have discovered something, and walked past the crowd to Ye Jie's side:

"Palace Master Ziwei? I didn't expect to see you here."

Ye Jie was slightly stunned, and then he recognized the man's identity: "Are you... the Jiawu Divine General?"

Looking back, General Jiawu did say before that he had accepted the employment of the Beiming Sword Sect and could not accept any missions in the Qinglian Chamber of Commerce. I didn't expect to see him here now.

Staring at the two gods, Ye Jie seemed to realize something. The news that he tried to erase the mark of the Heavenly Lord in the Seven Mysterious Mirror and attacked the other two gods did not seem to spread. At least the two gods in front of him did not know what he had done.

At this moment, behind everyone, there was a sudden vibration from the top of Duantian Peak. The vibration was so strong that it startled everyone.

"What happened? Is there going to be an earthquake?"

Yunxiu seemed a little flustered. The shock was quite unusual. Whether it was an earthquake or the Lord of the Ten Thousand Snake Cave attacked again, it was not a good thing.

The Grand Elder seemed to have discovered something. His next words stunned everyone:
"No... it's not an earthquake. It's clearly a sign that the sword mark was moved by someone! How could this happen... The sword mark left by the Sword Immortal Bei Chen has been here for hundreds of years. It is usually quiet and there should be no unusual movement. But why is it like this today... Could it be that you did something to the sword mark in the previous battle?"

Shen Qingge looked up, and as the sword marks moved, she felt that the attraction to her became more and more obvious. She did not hide it and told the situation:

"Not long ago, when I was fighting against the black snake released by the master of the Ten Thousand Snake Cave, I accidentally activated the power in the sword mark, which saved my life."

"What? You can actually draw out the power from the sword scar?"

The pupils of the Grand Elder shrank, he couldn't believe such a thing. Within the Sword Sect, there were countless disciples with extraordinary talents who couldn't draw out the slightest bit of sword intent from the sword marks, but this outsider did it. Moreover, looking at Shen Qingge's magic weapon, she was not a pure sword practitioner, but used a flying sword from another school.

But it was just such a person who triggered the sword scar that had existed in the Sword Sect for hundreds of years. This was very strange no matter how one thought about it. After thinking about it to no avail, the Supreme Elder could only attribute the situation to the identity of the descendant of Xuannv:
"This sword mark was left by the descendant of Xuannu in the past. Your ability to draw upon the power within may be related to this... Perhaps you are practicing the same technique as that sword immortal."

"The same origin technique... are you talking about the Xuannv Sutra? Or the Guanghan Sword Technique?"

Su Miao looked at Shen Qingge. As a descendant of Xuannv, she couldn't tell which sword technique of Xuannv Sect left the sword mark. There were thousands of sword techniques recorded in the sect, and I don't know how many rare classics were included. How could Su Miao remember them? She had never even heard of the descendant of Xuannv named Beichen.

“Although I don’t remember any descendant of Xuannv with the immortal name Beichen, since all signs indicate that the person may really be the descendant of Xuannv, I guess that a certain generation of ancestors may have used a pseudonym and didn’t want his real immortal name to be known by others.”

Su Miao pondered for a while and finally came to a possible conclusion in her mind. No one stipulated that the descendants of Xuannv must use their real fairy name. In some occasions where it was inconvenient to leave their names, using a false fairy name was also an option. The only thing was that the price of doing so would be to leave later generations puzzled, especially for future descendants of Xuannv.

"Speaking of which... this sword mark is so powerful that it seems as if it could chop down the sky with one sword. What kind of enemy could have left such a sword mark on Bei Chen?"

Su Miao kept thinking, and suddenly came to a surprising conclusion in his mind:

"It is said that Bei Ming is the place where the Underworld Emperor attained enlightenment. It was able to allow the Sword Fairy Bei Chen to fight with all her strength, leaving this sword mark. Could it be that she was fighting against the Underworld Emperor?"

The Grand Elder laughed in silence: "You guessed wrong. Sword Fairy Beichen is extremely powerful, but she is definitely not a match for the Nine-Revolution Supreme like the Underworld Emperor. The reason why she left this sword mark is because she once fought with the mythical beast Xuanwu here. This sword mark is the proof of that battle."

"what?"

Hearing this, not to mention the others, even Ye Jie was stunned. He never expected that the one fighting against the Sword Immortal Bei Chen would be the legendary mythical beast Xuanwu.

The name of Xuanwu is not unfamiliar to Ye Jie. Its existence is closely related to Beijuluzhou. The Fairy Wanshou who runs the Yangshou trade is its daughter, and the Lord of the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave who intends to resurrect the devil and endanger the people is its son. Even though it has never appeared, Ye Jie has already heard the legend about the mythical beast through various channels.

All kinds of legends have endowed Xuanwu with a mysterious color that is difficult to see through. It is believed that the beast must be extremely powerful, but the sword immortal Beichen has the strength to fight against it, and it seems that he is not at all inferior. The shocking sword mark is the best proof.

As if worried that the crowd would not believe him, the Supreme Elder continued to add:

"The reason why the Master of the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave came here is probably related to this. Deep in the sword scar, there is still blood belonging to the mythical beast Xuanwu. That is the real blood of the mythical beast. Even if you only get a drop, it is enough to obtain the heavenly fortune. The Master of the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave must have come here for the Xuanwu blood! If he gets the Xuanwu blood, I am afraid the consequences will be disastrous. Thanks to the help of Fairy Fei'e, his conspiracy was thwarted."
