Chapter 104: A Challenge Letter

"Ye Chen, you dare to kill the young master of the North Han Palace, and the North Han Palace will never let you off."

In despair, the peripheral members of the Autumn family roared angrily.

But the sound of shattering gradually overwhelmed those roars, and soon silence fell again.

Tens of thousands of people present dared not speak.

Even though they all agreed with the words of those peripheral members of the Autumn family, who dared to speak at this moment?

Were their identities as noble as North Han Guang's?

Even North Han Guang had died tragically here. Daring to provoke Ye Chen was definitely suicidal behavior.

"The North Han Palace won't let me off?"

Ye Chen sneered on the Nine Nether Platform.

The people in this area were really idiots.

He had said countless times that this trip was for North Han Guang and also for the North Han Palace. Even if they wanted to stop, he, Ye Chen, would not.

"Perhaps your thoughts, like those of these people, are that the North Han Palace won't let me off?" Ye Chen stood on the Nine Nether Platform, scanning the surroundings.

No one dared to meet his gaze, but in their hearts, they all nodded.

The North Han Palace, the hegemon of the Cang You Region.

Now that the young master, North Han Guang, had fallen, how could the North Han Palace let it go? And how could Ye Chen resist?

The Nine Nether Platform was powerful, a supreme-grade profound weapon with extraordinary might.

But how could the North Han Palace not have weapons of this caliber?

It could be said that as long as Ye Chen dared to stay in the Cang You Region, he would be killed by the North Han Palace.

Ye Chen took note of everyone's reactions and then smiled indifferently, "Three months from now, I, Ye Wuji, will personally visit the North Han Palace!"

"Ah?"

As soon as his words fell, it was like a boulder had been thrown into a calm lake, causing waves to ripple outwards.

The people below all looked up in astonishment, their gazes filled with shock as they watched Ye Chen.

Ye Wuji?

Was that his real name?

Of course, that wasn't the reason for everyone's shock.

What made them turn pale was the last sentence.

He was going to visit the North Han Palace in person!

Was this a challenge?

Ye Wuji was challenging the hegemon of the Cang You Region, the North Han Palace!

How could he dare to do this? Where did he get the confidence?

"Insane, too insane, Ye Chen is too insane!"

"Instead of waiting for the North Han Palace to come for him, he actually took the initiative to issue a challenge letter, wanting to challenge the North Han Palace."

"This is a formal challenge! If this news spreads, not only will the Cang You Region tremble, but even the Lower Three You will be shocked."

"Big things are about to happen."

The crowd was in an uproar, extremely shaken.

Ye Chen's words were definitely a challenge letter, with no room for retreat.

It could be imagined that if this news spread, it would cause a huge sensation.

Three months later, the North Han Palace would definitely attract the attention of the world.

"Ye Chen!"

Even Lin Miaoyin and her father were trembling.

However, there wasn't too much turmoil. After all, they had long known that Ye Chen was going to the North Han Palace.

But issuing a formal challenge letter still made people feel a bit shocked.

The events here came to a close, and the crowd gradually dispersed.

But Ye Chen's challenge letter swept through the entire Cang You Region like a gust of wind.

"Ye Wuji kills the young master of the North Han Palace and writes a challenge letter, saying that he will personally visit the North Han Palace in three months!"

The entire Cang You Region was shaken.

Accompanying this news was information about Ye Chen and his name.

Ye Wuji was not yet seventeen, at the peak of the True Martial Realm, and had killed a martial artist at the sixth stage of the Emperor Realm, displaying terrifying strength.

This news spread throughout the entire Cang You Region, and everyone who heard it was astonished.

Regardless of their opinions, at this moment, Ye Wuji's name had spread throughout the Cang You Region, shaking it to its core.

In the Lord's Mansion.

Lin Ran placed three storage rings on the table.

"Young Master, these three storage rings contain millions of spirit stones, numerous spiritual herbs, and some profound weapons, all of which are the assets of the Autumn family," Lin Ran said.

"Not bad."

Ye Chen nodded. These resources would have been beneath his notice in the past, but now, even a single spirit stone was precious.

"Uncle Lin, Miss Lin, you can leave now. I'm going to seclude myself for three months," Ye Chen said, taking the storage rings.

Originally, he had planned to leave the relic space and go to the North Han Palace.

But the secrets within the relic space made him even more eager to restore his strength before entering.

Now that he had plenty of spirit stones and countless spiritual herbs, he naturally wanted to absorb them quickly to recover.

As for the North Han Palace, it wouldn't hurt to wait for three more months.

"Understood."

Lin Ran and Lin Miaoyin left first.

Although Lin Miaoyin had a lot to say, she knew that these three months were crucial for Ye Chen. She didn't want to distract him or disturb him.

Perhaps the most important reason was that she hadn't figured out how to broach the subject yet.

"Qingxue, refine the Palace Guarding Pill," Ye Chen said, listing out the ingredients and handing it to Dance Qingxue.

"Young Master, I can refine it," Dance Qingxue said somewhat puzzled. She had already refined several Palace Guarding Pills. Why did the Young Master list out the ingredients again?

"Refine it according to the ingredients and refining method on this list," Ye Chen said with a light smile.

He wanted the most potent and complete Palace Guarding Pill, not a weakened version. So both the allocation of ingredients and the refining method were different from before.

Dance Qingxue didn't ask too much and immediately prepared the materials to start refining.

Soon, the Palace Guarding Pill was successfully refined and handed to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen was about to start secluding himself when he suddenly stopped.

"Is your soul power already at the peak of the intermediate stage of the Emperor Realm?" Ye Chen asked.

"Yes." Dance Qingxue nodded.

Practicing soul cultivation techniques, her soul power had increased rapidly, and although it seemed to be only at the peak of the intermediate stage of the Emperor Realm, even some late-stage Emperor Realm martial artists couldn't match her powerful soul power.

"From now on, focus on the Dao of Alchemy. Here's a set of soul cultivation techniques called 'Thousand Dream Realm.' Practice it well," Ye Chen said, his soul flowing, and Dance Qingxue's body trembled slightly, feeling a massive amount of information rapidly entering her mind.

As those pieces of information flowed in, Dance Qingxue's expression began to change, showing signs of extreme shock.

One dream, one world; a thousand dreams, three thousand realms!

Dreams are indeed real, and in dreams, I am supreme! 

The world within the dream is one's own world, and oneself is the king within that dream. Once someone enters the dream, life and death can be controlled by her.

It's terrifying, such a profound and formidable soul technique!

"Why are alchemists fearsome? It's not just because they can refine pills and craft artifacts, or inscribe arrays and talismans. The most important thing is that the combat power of an alchemist is not inferior to that of a warrior. Your path lies in the way of the soul."

With solemn words, Ye Chen's tone was profound.

A solemn expression crossed Dance Qingxue's face.

In the past, she had a limited understanding of the soul, only focusing on refinement, at most using spiritual attacks.

Never did she imagine that she could unleash such terrifying slaughter with her soul.

But at this moment, her understanding had completely changed.

Alchemists, just like warriors, could unleash devastating destruction.

The soul, just like spiritual energy, possessed extraordinary power.

"Thank you, Young Master Chen, Qingxue will not disappoint your expectations." Dance Qingxue bowed deeply, feeling a bit excited inside.

In today's battle, she hadn't contributed anything, leaving her feeling a bit down. Could a useless warrior like herself still receive recognition from Ye Chen?

But at this moment, Ye Chen bestowed upon her the Thousand Dreams Realm, guiding her path of cultivation. This was tantamount to acknowledging her.

No matter what, she would not let Ye Chen down.
