Chapter 5404 Refute the Red

"Well, it's advanced."

Chen Yang simply answered Nie Tian's question and asked: "Senior Nie, why are you here?"

Nie Tian asked: "You haven't answered me yet. What level have you advanced to? Four-star, fifth-level, sixth-level?"

After she saw it, Chen Yang was able to improve to two or three levels in one year, which was already quite good.

As for advancing to Overlord, from the beginning, she, like Ge Yinxiang and others, thought it was impossible. Even if the star source earth veins were repaired, it would still be impossible to practice in the star energy pillar.

"I have advanced to Overlord." Chen Yang replied.

Upon hearing this, Nie Tian's eyes widened and he said in surprise: "Wha... what? Have you advanced to Overlord?"

"Yes." Chen Yang nodded.

Nie Tian was stunned for a moment, and immediately sensed Chen Yang's realm, and found that he was indeed the Overlord. She exclaimed: "In one year, you advanced from the fourth level to the third level to the Overlord. How did you do this? Could it be that you are Pour star energy into your body? Moreover, to attack the Overlord, you need to understand the stars, haven't you encountered a bottleneck?"

"Everything fell into place."

Chen Yang was not surprised by other people's surprises.

Nie Tian was stunned and said: "You... are not joking. You have advanced to Overlord in one year. If the helmsman and the others know about this, I'm afraid..."

"Don't be surprised."

Chen Yang interrupted Nie Tian and said, "I want to go back to the sub-rudder first. I don't know if Deputy Helmsman Ji's injury has recovered. If not, I have to help him refine the Xu Pulse Pill as soon as possible."

"I haven't recovered yet." Nie Tian came to his senses and said excitedly: "Let's go, I'll go with you."

The two immediately returned to Yongting to split the helm.

On the way, Chen Yang asked about what happened in Yongting Branch over the past year.

Although Nie Tian also practiced in the underground palace, he did not retreat. He could often get information about the division of rudders from the patrol guards in the underground palace.

During this year, nothing special happened at Yongting Branch.

Since the repair of the Star Source Earth Veins, the entire branch has developed very smoothly, and many people have successfully broken through the realm.

The originally expected demon clan crisis did not appear. The demon clan in the Leiling Mountains did not make any move, and even the previous clamor for revenge against Fu Weiming was given up.

Despite this, Yongting Branch still strengthened its defense against the demon clan and discovered some demon clan scouts.

On the surface, everything is calm, but in fact, the demon clan has an agenda.

Of course, overall, the threat from the demon clan is not great.

However, a strange thing happened during this year. The Yongting Branch, which was previously unnoticed, now often has people from other branches coming to visit and communicate.

If it was because of the repair of the Star Source Earth Veins, it would still make sense to come and make friends with Yongting Branch Helm.

But these sub-helms who came to visit and communicate had to "refute the red" as soon as they arrived, and other things seemed to be unimportant.

"Picking up the red" is a special ceremony among the hundreds of sub-rudders under Ji Palace.

In the beginning, it was a rule established by Jidian in order to prevent the branches from joining forces with each other. It required that when the branches interacted with each other and entered the territory of other branches, they had to challenge and discuss.

Because during the competition, whoever bleeds first will be judged as the loser, so this ceremony is called "Refuting the Red".

At the beginning, "refuting red" was a mandatory requirement, and each branch strictly implemented it.

It is precisely because of "refuting the red" that various grievances, large and small, have been formed between each branch, thus forming a strong competitive relationship.

In this way, it will be convenient for Jidian management.

In addition, Jidian placed the sub-rudders under the seventy-two peaks, and there were more than 300 sub-rudders, making it even more impossible to form an alliance.

In short, although the sub-rudder is far inferior to Jidian headquarters in terms of strength, its role and ability are great, so Jidian must tightly control it.

With the development of the branch, "refuting the red" has become a rule that each branch adheres to, and it is also the face of each branch.

However, when you are refuting red, you will be able to tell the difference, and you will not fight to the death.

But what puzzled everyone in the Yongting branch was that when other branches came to visit and communicate, when they were fighting against the enemy, they all used their full strength to beat them, often causing blood to fly everywhere.

In one year, the Yongting branch has played more than a dozen games, with wins and losses.

"With the Xingyuan Earth Veins repaired, other branches will start to suppress the Yongting Branch from now on, right?"

Chen Yang chuckled and shook his head, feeling that it would be ridiculous if the other helmsmen really thought this way.

Soon, Chen Yang and Nie Tian returned to Yongting to share the helm.

When they saw Chen Yang returning, the people in Yongting's helm greeted him one after another and admired him very much.

Most people don't know it, but when they meet those tyrants, Chen Yang's true realm is immediately sensed.

As a result, the news that Dongfang Xuan was promoted to Overlord soon spread in Yongting Branch.

This news surprised everyone and thought it was a miracle.

Chen Yang didn't stop and immediately went to Ge Yinxiang to ask about Ji Youjian's situation.

"Dongfang Xuan, you...have really advanced to become a tyrant!"

When Ge Yinxiang saw Chen Yang, his reaction was even more shocked than Nie Tian's. He looked Chen Yang up and down and took a closer look, with an expression on his face like I was dreaming.

After observing Chen Yang for a while, when he was sure that all this was not a dream, Ge Yinxiang exclaimed: "Incredible, simply unbelievable. As far as I know, there are people in the entire Thirteen Prefectures who can advance to the seventh level within one year." There are more than five, and these people are undoubtedly powerful Star Lords now."

Chen Yang was not arrogant, nor did he intend to talk more about cultivation. He asked: "Master, how is the situation of Deputy Master Ji now?"

Ge Yinxiang retracted his thoughts and frowned: "Vice-pilot Ji is still in a coma. I have gone to Yuguan City to find Yue Zhiqian three times. He has great medical skills. If he takes action, Vice-pilot Ji will definitely be cured. However, Protector Yue swore not to save the people in Jidian, but he did not take action."

Chen Yang didn't expect that Ge Yinxiang would actually go to Yue Zhiqian.

He did not explain his relationship with Yue Zhiqian, but asked: "Are you ready for the alchemy materials I asked you to prepare before?"

"This matter has been left to Xiao Lian. I don't know how he is doing now."

Ge Yinxiang had actually forgotten about this matter a long time ago. He didn't have much hope for Chen Yang. After all, it was almost impossible for a brilliant formation master to practice alchemy.

Seeing Chen Yang mention it at this moment, he immediately asked someone to notify Xiao Lian to come.

But before Xiao Lian arrived, news came that someone from the returning domain branch was visiting.

After receiving the news, Ge Yinxiang frowned and complained unhappily: "Are these sub-helms all idle? Why do they come to visit us? I don't have to do anything else all day long. I just go to receive them. It’s a waste of time.”

"I'm afraid they have other motives for doing this."

Chen Yang always felt that this matter was not that simple.

He said to Ge Yinxiang: "Leader, let's go, I will go with you to meet the people who are returning to the domain to divide the helm."
