Chapter 1964 - 1962: The Creature Inside the Sedan Chair
The Four Great Continents: East, South, West, and North!The Barbaric Forbidden Land is indeed vast. Although Ye Tianchen was initially skeptical, after such a prolonged flight using Qi Manipulation, he had no choice but to believe it. It was his first time flying for such a long duration, covering such a great distance, and witnessing the expanse of this forbidden land!
What truly astonished Ye Tianchen was that the Barbaric Forbidden Land appeared to be larger than the Mortal World and Ancient Martial World combined, so huge that anyone entering it would be amazed. No one knows who enclosed this place in the Ancient Times, and it has persisted until now. Could it really be the unfathomably powerful Ancient Alien Race lurking here?
Upon hearing Ye Tianchen’s words, the Flying Little Leopard and its companions nodded. They understood that Ye Tianchen wasn’t exaggerating or worrying needlessly. This is the Magic Law of the Martial Arts World - wherever there are living beings, there is conflict, and these conflicts never cease. In the Barbaric Forbidden Land, it is a world ruled by Demon Beasts, with ruthless battles between them, and several hundreds of years ago, the laws of the forbidden land changed, causing some Human Clan practitioners with earthy lineage to enter. Conflicts among Demon Clans, among Human Clans, and between Humans and Demons are inevitable here, driven by the coveted resources; no one will relinquish them, which inevitably leads to battle and perpetual slaughter!
In such a world, forming friendships is indeed not easy, while making enemies is exceedingly simple!
"Let’s go, the sky is growing dark. Let’s enter first; who knows what kind of scenery awaits us inside!" said the Little Demon Bat Beast.
Ye Tianchen nodded, taking the lead, with the Little Demon Bat Beast perched on his shoulder. Following him were the Flying Little Leopard, a youth from the Black Sky Cat Clan, a girl from the Immortal Deer Descendant Clan, and a burly man from the Divine Power Pangolin Clan. The four demon beasts had transformed into human shapes rather than appearing in their beast forms, mainly because they were unsure about the types of demon beast clans in this East Continent city. If they encountered ancestral enemies, it would spell trouble and unnecessary hassle.
Clang!
"Stop! Who are you to dare trespass into East Continent City?" demanded a city guard, holding an iron spear, with a human body and a dog head blocking Ye Tianchen and his companions.
"Trespass into East Continent? This city has so many people coming and going; are we not allowed in?" Ye Tianchen asked, slightly annoyed.
"Hmph, who do you think you are? We two scrutinize all entries. If we don’t allow it, you won’t get in!" snorted the dog-headed human guard.
"Then how can we get in?" the Flying Little Leopard chimed in.
"Well, that’s easy. Just present a Spiritual Medicine Divine Grass, and we’ll consider it!" the dog-headed human guard said with a sneering grin.
"What if I don’t have one?" Ye Tianchen asked, furrowing his eyebrows.
"Don’t have one? Hmph, then the gates of East Continent City will remain shut to you!" the dog-headed human guard said arrogantly.
Ye Tianchen was ready to teach these two dog-headed human guards a lesson. Clearly, they were making it difficult for newcomers deliberately. So many demon beasts were freely entering, yet they stopped Ye Tianchen’s group. They were obviously extorting a bribe, weren’t they? Ye Tianchen disliked this sort of behavior. If these two dog-headed guards insisted on being difficult, he wouldn’t hesitate to force his way in!
"Make way! Can’t you see our sedan? Are you seeking death?"
Suddenly, a voice came from behind Ye Tianchen’s group, causing them to turn and look. Behind them appeared a sedan, carried by two snake-bodied human-headed demon beasts, behaving arrogantly and aggressively, barking commands for nearby people to scatter.
Seeing these human-headed snake-bodied demon beasts, many creatures entering and leaving the city moved aside quickly, as if there was something inside the sedan that was intimidatingly untouchable, with none daring to get close.
What Ye Tianchen didn’t expect was that the Flying Little Leopard, the youth from the Black Sky Cat Clan, the burly man from the Divine Power Pangolin Clan, the girl from the Immortal Deer Descendant Clan, and even the Little Demon Bat Beast on his shoulder, all seemed fearful, moving to the side. Why was this, Ye Tianchen wondered!
"Hey, I’m talking to you, aren’t you moving aside?" the lead snake-bodied human-headed beast shouted furiously at Ye Tianchen.
Ye Tianchen frowned but did not respond. Instead, he addressed the dog-headed human guard, "You see, if you don’t let us pass, those behind us cannot, either."
"You, you, you... You really have no fear! Do you know who’s in that sedan?" The arrogant dog-headed human guard, upon seeing the sedan, spoke, terrified and trembling.
"I don’t know. All I know is I’m in line ahead. If you don’t let me pass, those behind me can’t, either," Ye Tianchen said with a smile.
"You kid are doomed, doomed!" The dog-headed human guard said, trembling with fear, as he hurried over to the sedan, smiling obsequiously, seemingly explaining something.
At this moment, some creatures entering and leaving the East Continent city were starting to point at Ye Tianchen, with looks that seemed to view him as a dead man, although Ye Tianchen didn’t care. Coming here, he never intended to show weakness, for that would only make others think less of him. How could someone perceived as weak ever secure the benefits they seek in this brutal, blood-soaked, and savage Forbidden Land?
"Hey, come over here and be a chopping block for our master!" commanded the man-headed snake-bodied demon beast leading the way to Ye Tianchen.
"Chopping block? Do you mean a cutting board? I wouldn’t mind stewing your master and eating him!" Ye Tianchen replied with a calm smile.
"How dare you! Ignorant Human Clan Practitioner, this is no place for you to make trouble!" The man-headed snake-bodied demon beast did not expect Ye Tianchen to be so aggressive, not even sparing a thought for their master, and immediately intended to rush over and teach Ye Tianchen a lesson.
"Hold it!"
Boom!
Suddenly, a powerful aura burst forth from the sedan chair, startling the surrounding demon beasts, causing them to hastily retreat. If struck by this powerful aura, they would be severely wounded if not killed, and the target of this aura was naturally Ye Tianchen.
Boom!
Ye Tianchen naturally wouldn’t show weakness; in this place, he couldn’t afford to show weakness. Showing weakness would mean getting beaten, resulting in a fate of being utterly obliterated, so Ye Tianchen immediately released his own aura, clashing with the aura emanating from the sedan chair!
Buzz!
The collision of the two powerful auras resulted in a balanced stand-off, causing Ye Tianchen to furrow his brow. This indicated that the being inside the sedan chair was no weaker than him. It seemed this Barbaric Forbidden Land was truly a place full of powerful individuals; he had barely reached the gate of the East Continent city before encountering such formidable characters.
Bang!
With a muffled sound, both auras dissipated. Ye Tianchen’s figure swayed slightly, and the sedan chair shook a bit, from which a vicious voice emerged:
"Interesting, let them in too. Make sure they don’t escape; once I finish my business, I will come and feast on this human’s flesh and blood. Don’t try to hide now!"
"I’ll be waiting any time, I wouldn’t mind stewing a demon beast to eat!" Ye Tianchen replied with a cold laugh.
The two man-headed snake-bodied demon beasts carried the sedan chair away. Ye Tianchen didn’t know what kind of creature was inside the sedan chair, but he knew it was strong. Surely, it wasn’t weak, not someone to be underestimated. Nevertheless, he absolutely wouldn’t be afraid; if he were afraid, he wouldn’t have come to this Barbaric Forbidden Land, nor would he insist on entering this East Continent city!
After the sedan chair entered the city, Ye Tianchen spoke to the group, "Let’s go in too!"
"Boss, the creature inside the sedan chair was very strong!" remarked the Flying Little Leopard, frowning.
"Yes, we backed off because of our beastly instinct, sensing the aura of danger!" The youth from the Black Sky Cat Clan nodded.
"Perhaps, Brother Ye, you didn’t sense it because you’re Human Clan, but our Demon Clan’s sense of aura is very sensitive. The guy inside the sedan chair must be a fierce character!" said the burly man from the Divine Power Pangolin Clan.
"We have to be careful; it surely won’t let us go!" The young girl from the Immortal Deer Descendant Clan nodded thoughtfully.
Ye Tianchen nodded; he hadn’t realized, but the reason the Flying Little Leopards dispersed in an instant was because they sensed the killing intent or perhaps the aura of dominance among demon beasts. It seemed the creature inside the sedan chair was exceptionally powerful; just its aura was enough to make the Flying Little Leopards and the others back down—it was certainly not simple.
"Let’s go, let’s check inside first!" Ye Tianchen casually smiled, ignoring the surrounding demon beasts who were still pointing and gesturing, as he headed directly towards the city gate.
"You... you actually want to go in?" The dog-headed humanoid guard asked with extreme surprise.
"Why? Can’t I go in?" Ye Tianchen retorted.
"No, no, you can, definitely, since someone with great influence has spoken on your behalf, how dare we stop you. It’s just that your fearless spirit, we truly admire it!" chuckled the other dog-headed humanoid guard wickedly.
"Well, maybe I’ll really stew that thing inside the sedan chair to eat it!" Ye Tianchen chuckled blandly as he stepped towards the city within the Barbaric Forbidden Land of the East Continent...
