Chapter 1546 - 1547 The Seeds of Hatred

Even though the people of the Yingchen Family in the control center of Spirit Sword Island kept issuing commands, these automatic defenses were completely unresponsive!

It can be said that just this alone already proves certain things!

...

After a moment, Ye Luo heard a soft voice by his ear.

"Your Highness, put me down. We don’t need to run!"

Ye Luo was slightly taken aback. The only person who could be speaking to him now was Chen Yu.

"What are you talking about? Not running means waiting to die! Facing those old geezers, I can’t guarantee I can look after you in battle. Alright, shut your mouth. I’m taking you away from here right now!"

In his heart, Ye Luo felt somewhat helpless. After all, leaving Spirit Sword Island meant admitting the failure of this operation!

But he couldn’t just ignore Chen Yu, and besides, he still didn’t know what kind of secrets Chen Yu was hiding!

However, as Ye Luo was thinking, Chen Yu said something that utterly surprised him.

"Put me down. I can handle them!"

What?

Ye Luo couldn’t help but be astonished. Even he wasn’t confident in dealing with those old geezers. What made Chen Yu say such a thing?

Unless she could truly control Spirit Sword Island completely!

Is that really the case?

Although filled with doubt, Ye Luo chose to trust Chen Yu!

After all, Ye Luo wouldn’t believe that the middle-aged woman would risk her life to weave a lie!

The entire Xingchen Palace couldn’t have spent twenty years, sacrificing countless disciples, to achieve something impossible!

Perhaps, there truly was something crucial about Chen Yu!

"Alright, I promise you!"

Finally, Ye Luo made his decision and set Chen Yu down, but remained cautious and vigilant!

...

"Boy, running away, huh? Why stop now? Humph, you must be that Emperor’s bastard, the Ninth Prince, such a grand name. Well, since the Emperor values you so much, capturing you might bring unexpected benefits to our Yingchen Family!"

At this moment, several veteran fighters from the Yingchen Family appeared before Ye Luo, shamelessly speaking to him!

Emperor’s bastard?

It seems the Yingchen Family is really being pushed by Ye Luo to the point of rebellion!

Unfortunately for them, a mere Yingchen Family doesn’t have the power, and they can’t even get past Ye Luo!

Of course, at this moment, Ye Luo remained extremely vigilant, as five veteran fighters from the Yingchen Family had appeared, all highly skilled, and one had even reached the Qi Cyclone Peak Realm!

Ye Luo was skilled, but faced with so many strong fighters joining forces, he would undoubtedly suffer a disadvantage, so he had to stay alert!

Since Ye Luo chose to trust Chen Yu, he wouldn’t retreat at this point!

"You old geezers from the Yingchen Family, hiding here was unexpected. No wonder you were missing during the defense, a bunch of cowards!"

Ye Luo said calmly, paying no mind to their insults about being a bastard.

After all, he was essentially a pawn, so why care about being labeled a bastard or not!

"Humph, still arrogant at death’s door. Today, I’m going to teach you what it means to respect your elders on behalf of the Emperor!"

...

Ye Luo didn’t respond, because at this moment Chen Yu had already started to act.

Chen Yu didn’t speak, after all, being the Yingchen Family’s young mistress for sixteen years, she had seen these veteran fighters. Now, facing them, she found it difficult to accept.

Chen Yu remained silent, but the luster from the bright light on her chest was already glowing, indicating she was activating the special ability of the necklace!

In just an instant, all formations, automatic defense turrets, mechanical puppets on the Spirit Sword Path, turned their turrets towards the Yingchen Family!

"What do you think you’re doing, little girl? Do you know what you’re doing now? Are you trying to betray the Yingchen Family?"

Seeing the abnormality around them, the faces of the few veteran fighters changed slightly. They knew the power of Spirit Sword Island and Chen Yu’s uniqueness, so naturally, they felt some fear.

But Chen Yu did not respond and continued her actions!

At this time, Ye Luo felt a slight tremor under his feet, clearly indicating that the entire Spirit Sword Island was being driven by some mysterious force!

It turns out, Spirit Sword Island wasn’t really immobile or unfinished. Everything was just part of the Xingchen Palace’s plan.

After the Yingchen Family swallowed up the Xingchen Palace, they were in charge of building Spirit Sword Island.

On the surface, the people of Xingchen Palace had seemingly yielded to the Yingchen Family, especially after the secret executions of veteran Xingchen Palace members. The Yingchen Family appeared to lower their guard against the remaining Xingchen disciples!

But they underestimated the loyalty of the Xingchen Palace disciples. When someone holds faith in their heart, they become fearless!

Almost everyone in Xingchen Palace shared the same belief: revenge!

Even though the Yingchen Family killed the key old members of the Xingchen Palace, they could never completely eliminate all the Xingchen disciples!

After all, if they wiped everyone out, there’d be no point in taking over the Xingchen Palace!

The Yingchen Family wanted the Xingchen Palace’s special secret techniques and for these disciples to build Spirit Sword Island.

Elders, Hall Masters, and Sect Leaders were killed, but the Xingchen disciples seemingly didn’t react on the surface, yet they responded with even more dedicated work.

Because each of them knew the exact arrangements they were making while building Spirit Sword Island!

Almost every formation, every rune on Spirit Sword Island was completed by these Xingchen disciples!

So, to drive Spirit Sword Island, its true master had to return, and that was Chen Yu, the one with the Star Necklace!

Now, Chen Yu had returned, and Spirit Sword Island was cheering, just like those Xingchen Palace disciples scattered throughout the Spirit Sword Path!

Feeling the change in Spirit Sword Path’s power and sensing Chen Yu’s presence, these Xingchen Palace disciples understood everything!

Every one of them had experienced what happened twenty years ago.

After all, the Xingchen Palace hadn’t existed for twenty years, so there was no talk of recruiting new disciples, leaving each one harboring hatred!

This hatred had fermented for a full twenty years!
