Chapter 12244: Murderous Intentions (Three Chapters in One)

"I've reached the other side of the stars!"

This thought surged into Ye Chen’s mind, and he was suddenly extremely excited. He had finally arrived, the legendary other side of the starry sky, he had finally arrived!

Even through the river, the starry sky he saw was more brilliant, pure and clear than the starry sky he saw in the infinite time and space.

Ye Chen could even roughly calculate that this star was the Tianjing Ancient Temple, that star was Shiva's dojo, the star on the horizon was where Ren Feifan was, and the dojo of the Mother of Heaven was also like a star hanging in the sky.

Half of the stars on the other side of the starry sky are not natural stars, but the lights emitted by the top sects and forces, forming stars.

There are also some top-level strong men who can transform themselves into stars, illuminating an area and are extremely powerful.

With infinite hope in his heart, Ye Chen wanted to find the light of the goddess of beauty, so he took Zi Lan and swam towards the river.

Zi Lan was also very excited. She had finally reached the other side of the starry sky. As long as she soaked in the river for an incense stick of time, she could go ashore, look for the Mother of Heaven, and return to her arms.

Wow!

The two emerged from the water and found themselves in a huge river that was constantly flowing and filled with a faint light mist. The river was like a dragon abyss, with lush forests on both sides of the riverbank. The river water carried an ancient and misty law that seemed not to belong to this world.

"Ye Chen, we're here!"

"This is the other side of the starry sky. We are soaking in the Forgotten River!"

Zi Lan said excitedly.

Ye Chen hummed, and could feel that the Forgetful River had a powerful purification function, constantly washing and purifying his past dust. As long as he soaked in the Forgetful River for a while, he could wash away the dust of the past and let his breath merge with the other side of the starry sky.

In this way, he no longer needs to deliberately conceal his secrets, and others will not be able to easily detect his existence.

This Wangchuan River is the most famous divine river on the other side of the starry sky. Those who have fallen into the evil path can jump into the river to cleanse themselves. As long as the original source of the great way can be kept from being washed away, they can be cleansed and go ashore, just like the Mother of Heaven, turning from the evil path to the orthodox divine way.

But this is very dangerous. Once the origin of one's own avenue is washed away, there is only death.

This sacred river did not possess the unique aura of the other side of the starry sky. Ye Chen could feel that the energy of the Wangchuan River came from a more mysterious era or place. He thought that he was not qualified to understand it with his current strength.

The Brahma world is not airtight, there are still many cracks. Some special energies invade through these cracks and gather together to form the Forgotten River.

The Wangchuan River is both a holy place on the other side of the starry sky and a forbidden place. Ordinary people dare not jump down, otherwise the origin of the avenue will be washed away.

Some people who have grudges against each other will choose to have a decisive battle on the Forgetful River. When they die and fall into the Forgetful River, all the laws and the origins of the great way will be washed away, and they will not be able to be resurrected.

Otherwise, the strong people on the other side of the starry sky have deep foundation, and it is very difficult to kill them completely. With the help of the cleansing power of the Forgetful River, everything about them can be easily washed away.

"Why is it so quiet here?"

After the excitement, Zilan felt something was wrong.

The surrounding environment was so quiet that there was not even the sound of wind or the chirping of insects or birds. It was really strange.

Elder Xingyin had warned her many times before, asking her to be careful of the fierce monsters in the Wangchuan River and to make good use of the Sun Key to protect herself.

But now, the surroundings are quiet, without even the sound of insects, so where could there be any ferocious monster?

"It's a little weird indeed."

Ye Chen also felt that the atmosphere was a bit inexplicably depressing and solemn, but since he had just arrived at the other side of the starry sky, he was not familiar with the secrets of heaven, nor did he know whether it was good or bad, or whether he would be safe or in danger.

"Forget it, let's soak for an incense stick of time to wash away the dust and impurities, then we will go ashore immediately to find the Goddess of Heaven."

Ye Chen said that after he got ashore, he planned to go to the Goddess of Heaven with Zi Lan.

"Ah."

Zi Lan and Ye Chen held hands and quietly soaked in the Forgetful River, while being alert and vigilant. The surroundings were too quiet, dead and depressing. They both felt that the atmosphere was a little bit wrong and were on high alert.

After soaking for a while, the two felt a pain in their skin. The water of the Forgetful River had a strong penetrating and purifying effect, penetrating into their skin and purifying their past impurities.

This purification can be described as washing away the flesh and scraping off the bones. If you soak in it for too long, the flesh on your body will surely be washed away, turning it into a pile of bones. Then even the bones will be washed into fragments, and finally everything will return to nothingness.

This is the horror of the Forgotten River. It is not easy to clear yourself of the trouble and the risk is extremely high.

Step, step, step.

As the two were enduring the soak, they suddenly heard footsteps coming from far away.

The footsteps became louder and louder, like the sound of thousands of troops galloping, causing the earth to shake and the mountains to rumble, like the rumbling of thunder, and a storm was about to come.

Ye Chen and Zi Lan were startled, and looking intently, they saw hundreds and hundreds of steel figures appearing on both sides of the river bank under the starry night sky. Each of them was wearing heavy black armor and an iron mask. They were running and trampling in the night, like a thousand troops breaking through the enemy lines, with a magnificent sound.

"This bastard is here!"

"Palace Master is wise and has great foresight. The bastard born from the adultery between Hao Tianyun and You Tianxue has indeed returned today!"

"This beast had fled to the underworld, and now he has the guts to come back. He is really courting death!"

"kill him!"

……

Those thousands of steel-like figures, each with fierce eyes, their sword-like gazes came out from under the iron masks covering their faces, with a fanatical murderous aura. After seeing Ye Chen, they were like tigers seeing lambs, and they took out their bows and crossbows one by one.

In an instant, hundreds of people surrounded and attacked, standing densely on the river bank, with bows and crossbows aimed at Ye Chen and Zi Lan.

Zi Lan was horrified and said, "It's someone from the Fate Judgement Hall! They got the wrong person!"

Ye Chen's face darkened. The causal aura of these thousands of people had the same origin as that of old man Xingyin. They were obviously from the same sect and were all people from the Hall of Destiny.

Looking at their fanatical appearance, it was obvious that they had recognized the wrong person. They mistook Ye Chen for Mo Yu, the "bastard", and wanted to shoot him on the spot.

Without giving Ye Chen a chance to explain, the thousands of black-armored soldiers had already shot their arrows. In an instant, arrows rained down like locusts, whizzing through the void and pouring down from both sides of the river, shooting towards Ye Chen and Zi Lan with terrifying penetrating power.

Ye Chen was shocked. The aura of thousands of black-armored soldiers on the shore was connected into one. The aura of thousands of people gathered together and was extremely powerful. Even the strong men in the Sun and Moon Realm could be easily shot and killed.

Even Ye Chen felt a deep sense of crisis when facing this torrential rain of arrows. He did not dare to delay and pulled Zi Lan and quickly dived into the water.

Puff puff!
Arrows rained down on the river surface. Under the distortion of the special laws of the Wangchuan River, the power of the arrows was dissipated and their accuracy was lost. Even if they hit Ye Chen and Zi Lan in the river, they could not cause any harm. Even Ye Chen's protective imperial light could not penetrate it.

However, Ye Chen did not show any sign of relaxation. There were people on both sides of the river bank and arrows were pouring down madly. He had nowhere to run even if he wanted to.

"Ye Chen, what should we do?"

Zi Lan showed an anxious look and asked in a voice transmission.

Ye Chen felt the situation was very tricky. If there were only a dozen black-armored soldiers on the shore, he could deal with them easily. But when there were thousands of them densely packed in formation, they were as awe-inspiring as an iron barrel wall, and he found it difficult to break and kill them.

"Grave Master, I can lend you my strength!"

In the Samsara Cemetery, Cang Tianhe saw that the situation was not good, so he spoke hurriedly.

It is not convenient for him to take action in the Chaos Soul Realm, but on the other side of the starry sky, there are no taboos or restrictions, and he can completely lend his power to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen's heart moved, and he heard the black-armored soldiers on the river bank shooting arrows crazily and cursing:
"The little bastard hid in the water."

"Where can he hide? If he stays in the Forgotten River for too long, he will die!"

"Haha, by then, the origin of the Great Dao will be washed away and he will be corrupted and transformed into a fish. We can catch him, cook a pot of fish soup and share it!"

"Excellent! We must not let this little bastard survive!"

……

When Ye Chen heard the cursing on the shore, he felt a chill in his heart. These people probably had never seen Mo Yu before, but they hated and were hostile to Mo Yu to such an extent that they even wanted to cook him into fish soup.

What kind of prejudice could breed such extreme hatred?

At this moment he even felt a little pity for Mo Yu.

"Senior, please!"

Ye Chen knew very well that if he wanted to break the impasse, he could only borrow the power of the Cang Tian He.

Cang Tianhe nodded, and without hesitation, immediately poured his spiritual energy into Ye Chen's meridians.

Zi Lan said: "Ye Chen, fish scales have grown on my hands. Am I going to turn into a fish?"

After soaking in the river for a while, Zi Lan panicked. She lifted up her sleeves and saw that several scales had grown on her wrists, which were as white as snow.

This is obviously a symbol of mutation!
If you soak in the Forgotten River for too long, your body will mutate and turn into a fish, and you will then be able to be caught and slaughtered by others.

Now, almost an incense stick of time has passed. Zi Lan's Taoism, laws and order are not as strong and solid as Ye Chen's. Gradually, she can no longer withstand it and her body is about to mutate.

Ye Chen was also horrified when he saw the scales on her wrist. He felt that the Forgotten River was truly terrifying and strange.

"Let's get out!"

Ye Chen calmed his breath and concentrated his mind. He waited for a stick of incense to last long enough to make sure that all the impurities from the past on himself and Zi Lan had been washed away. Then he immediately grabbed Zi Lan's hand and jumped up.

Wow!

Ye Chen brought Zi Lan out of the water, took a deep breath, and a brilliant and surging light of the sun and the moon suddenly exploded from his body, instantly illuminating the starry night sky.

With the help of the power of Cang Tian He, Ye Chen's meridians were swollen and about to burst. The power of the Sun and Moon Realm strongman was too strong. Ye Chen's meridians suddenly bore a huge burden.

But at this juncture, even if he has to pay a price, he must borrow the power of the Cang Tian He, otherwise it will be difficult to escape.

When the black-armored soldiers on both sides of the river saw Ye Chen leaping out of the water, it was as if they saw a huge sun suddenly rising. The dazzling divine light illuminated the darkness of the mountains and rivers. Many people screamed and covered their eyes, but they could not withstand the fierce impact of Ye Chen's solar and lunar aura.

The arrows rained down like rain on Ye Chen, but were all bounced off by the sun and moon energy on Ye Chen's body and could not hurt him at all.

"Sun and Moon Realm!"

"How can it be!"

"Is this little bastard a Sun and Moon Realm expert? The Palace Master said he is only a Super Heavenly Emperor!"

……

When everyone saw the light bursting out from Ye Chen, they were shocked and couldn't believe their eyes.

"I'm not the person you're looking for. You've got the wrong person."

Ye Chen looked down and spoke in a voice like thunder, shocking everyone below.

"Do you recognize this sword?"

Ye Chen took out the small sword of destiny that Ji Siqing had given him. This sword was only the size of a finger. Once he infused it with spiritual energy, the small sword of destiny grew bigger and turned into a giant sword as wide as a door panel, floating beside Ye Chen.

The edge of this sword is not very sharp, but the laws of destiny engraved on the sword, like interwoven silk threads, reveal the ancient meaning of the Tao.

"Ah, this is..."

"Is this sword created by the Saint?"

"You're not that little bastard, you're..."

"The Lord of Reincarnation, Emperor Ye Tian!"

……

Everyone in the audience was shocked and horrified when they saw the sword Ye Chen brought out. In an instant they understood the secret and knew that this sword was created by Ji Siqing.

As a result, they also saw clearly that Ye Chen was not the little bastard they wanted to kill, but the Lord of Reincarnation, the Lord of the Underworld, Emperor Ye Tian!

The next moment, everyone dropped their bows and crossbows, knelt down in unison, and worshiped Ye Chen.

But Ye Chen knew that they were not kneeling to him, but to the Small Sword of Destiny, worshiping the law of fate.

Seeing that the crisis was temporarily resolved, Ye Chen felt relieved and landed on the shore with Zi Lan, saying, "Everyone, get up."

Zi Lan was still a little nervous. Standing next to Ye Chen, the scales on her wrists had faded away. Fortunately, Ye Chen came ashore in time, otherwise she would have turned into a fish.

Everyone stood up in a rush, and for a moment the whole place was silent.

Ye Chen calmed down and asked, "Who among you is in charge? Come out."

A soldier in black armor stepped out and took off his iron mask, revealing a beautiful and refined girl's face. He said in a crisp voice:
"Xing Xuefu, the deacon of the Fate Judgment Hall, greets the Lord of Reincarnation."

Ye Chen was stunned and asked, "What's your name?"

The girl said, "Disciple Xing Xuefu greets the Lord of Reincarnation, the Goddess of Fate."

She knew that Ye Chen was Ji Siqing's Taoist partner, so she spoke respectfully and politely, not to give face to Ye Chen, but to give face to Ji Siqing.

Ye Chen and Zi Lan looked at each other and said in their hearts, "So she is the granddaughter of Elder Xing Yin!"

Ye Chen saw the cause and effect of Xing Xuefu and found that she had some connection with Old Man Xing Yin, so he asked, "Who is Old Man Xing Yin to you?"

Xing Xuefu's face suddenly changed, and she shouted, "The Lord of Samsara is talking about my grandfather... No, that old bastard, the big traitor? That old thief Xing Yin betrayed his master, disobeyed the sect's rules and regulations, and betrayed the supreme and heaven-defying avenue of my Judgment Hall. He advocated changing things according to the situation. He is just a fence-sitter!"

"He also stole one of our three great divine skills, the 'Heavenly Divine Judgement Technique', causing great losses to our sect."

"Lord of Samsara, please rest assured. I have already severed ties with that old villain. I am loyal to the goddess of fate. Heaven and earth can bear witness to my loyalty!"

When Ye Chen heard her accusing Old Man Xingyin in such harsh words, which were totally inconsistent with her pretty and bright face, he felt a chill in his heart.

"She actually spoke so viciously to her own grandfather. No wonder that Golden Bird didn't tell Elder Xingyin the truth. Maybe he was afraid that he would be sad."

Ye Chen thought to himself, if old man Xingyin knew that his beloved granddaughter had become like this, he wondered how he would feel.

Xing Xuefu asked again, "Lord of the Wheel of Reincarnation, have you ever come into contact with that little bastard named Mo Yu? You just had his scent on you, but it has now been washed away by the Forgotten River."

"It was a misunderstanding just now. We thought you were that little bastard. Fortunately, nothing bad happened."

Many thoughts flashed through Ye Chen's mind. Seeing that Xing Xuefu and everyone in the audience were looking at him, he knew that if he said something wrong, the situation would get out of control immediately.

"Well, I came into contact with that person, but I was in a hurry to ascend, so I didn't capture him."

Ye Chen carefully considered his words and spoke slowly, without revealing his friendship with Mo Yu, otherwise the situation would quickly get out of control and Xing Xuefu and others would immediately riot.

Xing Xuefu said: "That's a pity. The existence of that little bastard is a stain on my destiny. If it is not purified, the path will not be pure, which is ultimately inappropriate."

"Forget it, Lord of Samsara, since you have ascended, that's a good thing. I wonder when Lady Ji Siqing, the goddess of fate, will ascend?"

The original goddess of destiny was Pan Si, and now the authority of Pan Si has been inherited by Ji Siqing, so Ji Siqing is the new goddess of destiny.

Ye Chen said: "She needs some time. When her cultivation is sufficient, I will guide her to ascend."

Xing Xuefu hummed and said, "Well, Lord of Samsara, please follow me back to the temple, and we will prepare the welcoming ceremony for Master Ji Siqing."

"The other side of the starry sky is full of dangers. You'd better come and live in my temple. With the protection of my temple, you can be sure that nothing will go wrong."

Ye Chen thought for a while and said, "Okay, you lead the way."

Zi Lan gently pulled Ye Chen's sleeve and called out, "Ye Chen..."

But she wanted to seek refuge with the Goddess of Heaven.

Ye Chen said: "No hurry, let's go to the Fate Judgment Hall and take a look."

He thought about the conflict between the Temple of Destiny and the Divine Alliance of Heavenly Fortune. Inside the temple, the atmosphere and environment were also extremely extreme. If he didn't find a way to resolve it, Ji Siqing might be involved in huge troubles and disasters when he ascended to heaven in the future.

If Ye Chen can control the Hall of Destiny, he can also establish his own power.

Having a thousand things is not as good as having something yourself. Whether he goes to the Goddess of Heaven for help or to Shiva for help, he is ultimately dependent on others. It is better to become a backer himself than to look for one.

Ye Chen wanted to build his own power and didn't want to ask others for help in everything. He thought that he might start with the Palace of Destiny.

He had just arrived at the other side of the starry sky and was in desperate need of a place to stay.

Zi Lan had no choice but to obey Ye Chen, and the two of them, led by Xing Xuefu, went to the Hall of Destiny.

Xing Xuefu did not withdraw her troops, but asked the black-armored soldiers to stay and said, "Stay here and wait for that little bastard Mo Yu to show up, then shoot him immediately!"
