Chapter 808: Chapter 397: Swordsmanship Heavenly Pride Ye Chen, The Situation of Nine Li Mansion_2
Several days later, after the Void Warship arrived in the eastern part of the True Fire Domain, it headed off in various directions.
Each Void Warship had a different mission, some were responsible for supporting other mansions in the True Fire Domain, while others were tasked with infiltrating the Sky Cloud Region.
The Void Warship Lu Yun was on was heading to support a subordinate force of the Green Flame Palace.
Official disciples were also assigned to different teams. Lu Yun didn’t find himself on the same warship as a few people he knew, such as Zhen Chen, Tang Xiu, and Lin Jingtian.
At the moment, he stood alone in a corner, looking into the vast expanse of the Void, his silhouette appeared somewhat lonely.
“Junior Brother Lu Yun, what are you thinking about?”
A gentle voice came from behind him.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yun turned his head and saw a young man with sword-like eyebrows and radiant eyes. He had an air of sharpness about him, like an exceptional divine sword waiting to be unsheathed.
To this, Lu Yun wasn’t surprised. Within the Tai Yuan vein, there were many practitioners of swordsmanship, and there were even many sword experts who had cultivated their own sword domain.
The person before him seemed to have a particularly sharp aura, similar to that of swordsmanship.
Real sword experts were adept at concealing their aura and seemed no different from ordinary people under normal circumstances.
But once they burst forth, sword Qi would flourish, charging into the skies and revealing an earth-shattering sharpness. With the rise and fall of their swords, they could display a peerless sword might that would shake the heavens and move spirits.
Those mediocre sword cultivators, despite appearing formidable, hadn’t even touched the threshold of the sword domain. At best, they were just barely stepping into the path of swordsmanship.
However, regarding the young man in front of him, Lu Yun did not share this opinion. The other seemed to have concealed his aura, yet he still gave off a sense of sharpness, emanating from his body naturally, as if his physical body resonated with heaven and earth.
This phenomenon was something Lu Yun had only observed in one other person.
That person was Xiao Chen, whom he had met at the Flying Spirit Martial Academy in the Desolate Origin World.
“That is to say, this person might possess the legendary sword body!” Lu Yun thought to himself.
Immediately, he quickly searched his memory and realized he had never interacted with the young man before, not even seen him.
“May I ask, who is Senior Brother?”
“My name is Ye Chen, currently an Elite Disciple,” the young man, who was Ye Chen, said with a light smile.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yun chuckled and replied politely, “So, it’s Senior Brother Ye Chen. But I recall that we haven’t met before.”
As an Elite Disciple, he only knew Chu Jungui.
Even with Dongfang Qing, Lu Yun only heard about him through Yuan Fei and others.
Regarding other Elite Disciples, he had never interacted with them, let alone known them.
What made him curious was Ye Chen, who suddenly struck up a conversation with him despite never having any interaction, not even having seen each other before. What could his intention be?
Lu Yun didn’t believe he had an eye-catching protagonist’s halo, simply standing somewhere would garner the attention of other Heavenly Prides and big shots.
Seemingly reading the doubt in Lu Yun’s eyes, Ye Chen said with a light chuckle, “We indeed never met before, but I’ve heard about Junior Brother Lu more than once.”
Lu Yun nodded slightly; he had made quite a stir recently, and most people had heard about it, more or less.
Ye Chen continued, “I heard that inside the Forbidden Tower, you gave Dongfang Qing a good beating.”
At this point, he added another sentence.
“I don’t have any conflict with Dongfang Qing. In fact, we have a competitive relationship, and we get along quite well most of the time, but he’s always been one step ahead of me. It was quite satisfying to hear that someone managed to put him in his place.”
“It’s just a pity that it was only his image. If you had actually taught him a lesson in person, that would’ve been even better.”
As he finished, Ye Chen’s face showed a look of regret.
Hearing this, Lu Yun understood that Ye Chen was a Heavenly Pride on the same level as Dongfang Qing.
According to what Yuan Fei and the others said, Dongfang Qing had come to the Forbidden Tower, and his battle with Sima Hongyu, the Heavenly Pride of the Tongtian vein, caused a sensation not much less than when Lu Yun cleared the tower.
In Wei Xinhuh’s words, if Lu Yun was the number one among the Official Disciples of the Tai Yuan vein, then Dongfang Qing was the number one among the Elite Disciples.
If this person could compete with Dongfang Qing, then even if he wasn’t as good, he wouldn’t fall far behind.
But given that Ye Chen might possess the legendary sword body, everything made sense.
Sword cultivators were invincible in their own realm, and for someone with a sword body, it was inherent. Such talent made sword cultivation as easy as drinking water. The sword domain, which others spent their lives unable to achieve, was for them just a matter of time.
Nevertheless, Lu Yun wasn’t envious.
Though sword cultivators had strong attacks, their physical bodies were quite fragile. Even with a powerful sword body, they were far less robust compared to those cultivating body-refining methods, and even less so compared to those cultivating the Saint Body Method.
Each had its advantages and benefits.
Ye Chen patted Lu Yun’s shoulder, saying with a smile, “In the upcoming battle supporting Nine Li Mansion, there will be plenty of dangers. Try to stay close to me, and I’ll do my best to keep you safe.”
“Then I thank Senior Brother Ye Chen for your kindness!”
Lu Yun nodded, not rejecting the offer.
This person clearly had considerable strength, and with his talents, it was likely that the majority of those in the True Spirit Realm were no match for him.
