Chapter 868: Capture and Research

"Come with me." Ye Chen said to the big scorpion.

"Oh! Good!!!"

The big scorpion came back to his senses and quickly followed Ye Chen. Ye Chen tore open the space again and left here.

At this time, in the misty swamp, all the kings and emperors were so anxious that they wanted to scratch their heads. Just now, the mouth of the void closed automatically, and even if they had the courage to go over and take a look, they had no chance.

"The senior went in, the big scorpion also went in, and neither of them came out. What should we do???"

"What else do you want to do? Do you want to tear open the space again and go in to check?!"

"I'm just talking, isn't that ok???"

These swamp creatures were all very worried about the safety of Ye Chen and the giant scorpion.

However, they did not dare to tear open the void again to check, because no one knew what accidents would happen. If there were any accidents, even the Hunyuan Divine Emperor might not be able to handle it!

Just when they were at a loss, the void cracked again, and Ye Chen walked out with the big scorpion.

Everyone looked at them hurriedly, and when they saw that they seemed to be unharmed, they all gathered around.

"Senior, what's going on in there? The giant scorpion was pulled in as soon as it approached. We can't save him even if we want to!!!"

The black and white bat asked anxiously.

"Senior, is there really a strange source inside? Strange power is seeping out from inside. I think this matter is not that simple!!!"

A big rhino also said in a serious tone.

"Senior, what kind of danger is there? It won't affect our entire Misty Swamp, right?"

The other emperors were very worried about this.

The big scorpion scolded impatiently: "What are you all talking about? Can you come one by one? The seniors are too lazy to pay attention to you!!!"

"You look so scared, you cowards! I am not afraid of danger in there, even gods and ghosts are afraid of me. Can't you learn from me???"

The big scorpion did not forget to flatter himself, as if he had forgotten who was the person who was scared to death by the strange power.

Ye Chen gave him a look, and the big scorpion was so scared that he dared not speak anymore.

"Inside is the source of this strange pollution, but it is not the real strange source." Ye Chen said calmly.

Everyone's expression changed when they heard this.

Such a small amount of strange pollution has caused a huge impact on the entire Misty Swamp, and it is not the real source of pollution?

According to the senior, this is just child's play.

If the real source of the weirdness appeared, wouldn't the danger level increase exponentially?

"Then... does the strange power in here still exist?" the black and white bat asked tremblingly.

Everyone stretched their necks, wanting to know this.

If the strange power continues to seep out, they don't think they have the ability to solve it.

Ye Chen said coldly: "It has been resolved. This matter has been resolved. You are safe now."

After saying that, Ye Chen prepared to leave.

After receiving his affirmative answer, all the kings and emperors of the Misty Swamp breathed a sigh of relief. Since it had been resolved, they didn't have to worry about it anymore.

Many swamp creatures bowed respectfully to Ye Chen to thank him for his help.

If he hadn't suddenly arrived, one day in the future, all of them would have been infected by the weirdness, with disastrous consequences!

"Thank you for saving my life! I will never forget your kindness!"

Many creatures knelt down in front of Ye Chen and thanked him.

Ye Chen ignored them and looked at a girl hiding in a dark corner in the distance. She was the female cultivator he had met before, Zhilan.

After Zhilan came here, she has been hiding in a dark corner and dared not come out.

But all the swamp creatures here were well aware of her appearance, and with their strength, Zhilan could not hide it from them.

The reason they didn't attack her was simply because they felt that this woman seemed to know the senior, or that they were both human beings. If they touched her, the senior would vent his anger on them.

That's why everyone pretended she didn't exist.

When Zhilan saw her senior looking at her, her muscles became tense and excited.

She was very nervous, not knowing whether her unauthorized following would cause dissatisfaction among her seniors.

However, Ye Chen's next words surprised her.

Ye Chen said to her coldly: "Let's go."

These two simple words made her heart beat wildly with surprise, as if she had won some super prize. She was more surprised and excited than any great opportunities.

"Yeah! Good!!!"

She nodded vigorously and felt a flash before her eyes. When she came to her senses, the scenery in front of her had changed drastically. It was no longer the dark, damp, and smelly swamp environment.

What appeared before her was a verdant jungle, filled with towering trees, lush and full of vitality.

Zhilan was shocked, "Senior, we are coming out now???"

Ye Chen did not respond.

Although treated coldly by Ye Chen, Zhilan was not disappointed or lost. On the contrary, the joy and excitement in her heart did not diminish at all.

"Senior, where are my fellow brothers? Did they come out safely too?" she couldn't help but ask again.

This time, Ye Chen responded calmly: "They are all dead."

The smile on Zhilan's face immediately froze. She knew that those fellow brothers would be in danger, but she didn't expect that they would all die so soon.

She no longer had any attachment to that senior brother, but after all, they were from the same school. Zhilan was still very sad when she heard the news of their death.

"I am leaving."

Ye Chen ignored her mood at the moment. He just left these three words and suddenly disappeared.

"senior!!!"

Zhilan shouted anxiously, but Ye Chen had disappeared without a trace.

..................

Kunlun Holy Land, back mountain.

Ye Chen has returned. He first took out a wisp of the residual soul of the Divine Martial Saint Emperor.

This remnant soul is so weak that it looks like a breeze and can completely dissipate at any time. If it is not protected well, no one can save it.

"You are lucky to have met me."

Ye Chen said softly.

Then he took out a piece of black wood.

This piece of black wood has some strange runes faintly emerging, as if it was interwoven with the rules of the great Dao. It also exudes a strange fragrance that makes people feel excited when they smell it.

If such a small piece of wood were released into the outside world, it would definitely cause a huge disaster.

Countless creatures will start wars to fight for this piece of wood, leading to bloody storms and endless killing!

Because this is the legendary Qingming Fantasy God Root, which has a very good soul-nourishing effect.

Even if this is a Chaos Saint Emperor-level soul, it will still be effective.

Looking at the entire divine world, there are not many soul-nourishing treasures that are more advanced than the Qingming Illusionary Divine Root.

Ye Chen shaped the Qingming Fantasy God Root into a square box, and then put the remnant soul of the Divine Martial Saint Emperor in it. With the nourishment of the Qingming Fantasy God Root and the unique environment of the Kunlun Holy Land, the soul of the Divine Martial Saint Emperor will soon grow stronger and regain consciousness.

After dealing with the matter of the Divine Martial Saint Emperor, Ye Chen took out another immortal bell.

Inside this immortal bell, a skinny old man is sealed.

Ye Chen did not kill him directly, but suppressed him, wanting to see if he could get some useful information from him.

The fairy bell quickly grew larger, and then released a red ball of light.

Inside this red ball of light, a small, skinny old man was frantically mobilizing strange power, attacking everywhere, trying to break the ball of light and escape from here.

However, this ball of light was composed of various great rules, and its sealing power was so strong that he had no chance of breaking it at all!

The skinny old man found out that he was actually released from the fairy bell by Ye Chen. He realized that his chance had come and attacked the ball of light even more frantically.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!!!"

He mobilized all his strange powers and bombarded the ball of light at all costs.

The terrifying force caused countless ripples in the ball of light, and the roar was endless.

However, this small ball of light was extremely solid, without even the slightest sign of breaking.

After working for a while, the skinny old man realized that he was doing useless work and had to give up dejectedly.

Seeing that he had had enough of this, Ye Chen spoke leisurely, "Where is the source of this strange power? How is it produced? How can we resist this strange power?"

He asked three questions in a row.

After being stunned for a moment, the skinny old man couldn't help but laugh: "Who do you think you are to be qualified to inquire about the origin of holy power???"

Ye Chen said calmly: "If you don't know, just say you don't know. Why are you pretending???"

"What are you talking about!!!" The skinny old man suddenly became furious.

He now looked like a hypocrite whose crimes had been exposed, or like a cat whose tail had been suddenly stepped on, and he wished his fur would stand on end.

Ye Chen ignored his angry gaze and continued to talk to himself: "You were contaminated by the strange power and turned into a strange creature. But you are just a creature in the upper world after all. Before the appearance of the alien world, you have never been exposed to strange power. How could you know the source of the strange power???"

According to Ye Chen's guess, the skinny old man was a creature from the upper divine world in the past, so it was naturally impossible for him to have come into contact with strange powers in advance.

To put it bluntly, he is just an infected person, and there is really not much possibility for him to access the core secrets of the strange power.

For example, the true source of the strange power!

The skinny old man was furious, but for a moment he couldn't find a way to refute Ye Chen.

He really didn't know the source of the holy power.

Moreover, he felt extremely angry about the claim that he was once a creature from the divine realm above.

The skinny old man roared loudly: "Don't humiliate me! I am a creature from the Holy Realm, I have Holy Power, I have been inspired by Holy Power, and I have regained my identity!!!"

"I am a pure and authentic being from the Holy Realm, not a lowly, despicable, ditch rat-like being from the Heavenly God Realm as you say!!!"

His face was distorted exaggeratedly, his facial features seemed to be squeezed together, and he did his best to belittle the divine world.

It seemed that to him, the divine world above was really worse than a stinking ditch.

The "holy world" he mentioned was undoubtedly a foreign land.

Ye Chen didn't say anything, he just listened quietly.

Because, he also analyzed some information from the skinny old man's roars.

To the strange creatures, they are not "strange creatures" but the supreme "holy world" creatures.

The foreign land is not called the foreign land, but the holy land!

The strange power is also known as the holy power!

In their eyes, the Holy Realm seemed like a supreme and pure place. Every time they mentioned it, they would always reveal a pilgrim look.

Ye Chen could see that these were not just words spoken, but words from the soul.

"The influence of the strange power on them is really so thorough???"

Ye Chen looked at the skinny old man who was still cursing, and casually shot out a ray of light to seal the other's mouth.

As he could no longer make any sound, the area at the back mountain became much quieter.

"Master, this old Biden is really good at yelling. I'm going deaf!!!"

The Wudao tea tree beside him complained loudly.

After the Enlightenment Tea Tree came to the Heavenly God Realm, it became even taller. Each of its branches was as vigorous as a dragon, with divine light flowing between the roots and branches, and it had a strong vitality.

On the branches are extremely dense tea leaves of Wudao.

Today's Wudao tea has also undergone great changes.

First of all, the leaves have become wider and are sparkling with crystal green light.

Secondly, there are magical runes looming on each leaf, and each rune represents a fragment of the rules of the avenue.

If you look closely, you can see that there seem to be stars twinkling or the world evolving inside a lot of the enlightenment tea leaves.

The aura of this enlightenment tea tree is also very strong, although it is just an old tea tree and has never participated in a battle.

But in terms of realm, he has now reached the realm of Hunyuan Divine King!

Of course, the Wudao Tea Tree cannot be completely compared with the strong ones of the same level.

Because the most mysterious thing about him is that he is full of treasures. Even those Hunyuan God Kings will chase him madly when they see him, wishing to catch him and transplant him into their own medicine garden.

On the other side of the Wudao tea tree is a thicker and taller tree, which is the Jianmu sacred tree.

At this moment, the Jianmu sacred tree has condensed countless world gates, and its aura is as vast as the sea and unfathomable. The fluctuations of the laws of space occasionally appear, which is frightening.

"Deafness presupposes that you have ears, but do you have them???"

Jianmu was fighting against the Wudao tea tree on the side.

Being challenged, Wudao Tea Tree angrily scolded Jianmu: "You stinky boy, when I learned to speak, you were still not smart! Now you dare to contradict me???"

Jianmu laughed nonchalantly: "You old Deng, where did you get your ears???"

Wudao Tea Tree argued loudly: "I am using this as a metaphor. Do you know what a metaphor is? You are illiterate and have never read a book? Let the Patriarch teach you to read and write someday!!!"
