Dusty and exhausted...
After nearly two months, Ye Chen and his party finally arrived in the Central Region.
"Tianhuang City, the Liu family. This should be the family of Liu Qing, who was on the Canaan Academy Inner Court Strong List in the original novel. They should be affiliated with the Burning Flame Valley..."
That's right, this time Ye Chen and his companions took a similar route as Xiao Yan in the original novel, and finally entered the Central Region of Zhongzhou from Tianhuang City.
Under the feet of the group was a huge and vast stone platform, which was made entirely of snow-white rocks. What was particularly surprising was that the stone platform was nearly a hundred meters high, and what supported it to reach such a height were a dozen giant stone pillars underneath!
The stone pillars support the stone platform, like pillars supporting the sky. From a distance, it looks extremely majestic and spectacular.
The space above this stone platform was also extremely different from other places. It seemed particularly chaotic. The vast space was extremely distorted, and even some dark cracks could be seen spreading out...
Silver light would constantly burst out from this twisted space, and every time the silver light appeared, many human figures would be spewed out from the space and then land on the stone platform below.
Obviously, this is not a single exit of the Tianhuang City space wormhole, but a concentrated point for space wormhole transmission.
"Is this the Central Region? It truly deserves to be the center of the Dou Qi Continent. Even the wormhole teleportation point is so majestic..."
Glancing over the bustling stone platform, Medusa and the others spotted quite a few figures in alchemist robes. They were secretly amazed. This was indeed the Dan Domain. Alchemists who were quite rare in other places were not considered rare here.
"Latest news from the Dan Territory: Danta has announced the recruitment of core disciples. All sixth-rank alchemists under the age of thirty are welcome to take the exam!"
"The latest news from Danyu: One of the five major families, the Ye family, clashed with the Black Fire Sect, a first-class sect in Danyu. The Ye family killed a Dou Zong elder from the Black Fire Sect!"
"…"
A sudden shout from the stone platform made Ye Chen's face change slightly. He immediately turned his head and looked in the direction of the voice. He saw a thin man holding a stack of papers in his hands, and then sticking these papers on some stone pillars on the stone platform.
At this moment, many curious people gathered around this person, and they were obviously interested in the latest news about the Dan Realm that he mentioned.
"Young Master?" Hu Tian's expression was serious, even a little worried, as he looked at Ye Chen beside him.
Ye Chen didn't care about the first piece of news. After all, Danta would hold an examination to recruit disciples every five years, and it was open to all the alchemists in the continent...
It can be said that this is the moment that all talented alchemists, except for the five major families, are looking forward to. However, for Ye Chen, a descendant of the five major families who can join Danta at any time as long as they meet the requirements, it has little impact.
It was the latter one that caught his attention the most...
"Black Fire Sect? Why would the family come into conflict with them?" Ye Chen was confused.
But he wasn't worried, because from what that person had said, it was clear that the Ye family had the upper hand in this conflict, and had even killed an elder of the Black Fire Sect...
Although it is rumored that the leader of the Black Fire Sect has unfathomable cultivation and may have reached the level of a peak Dou Zong, the Ye family now has the support of Dan Tower, and the leader of the Black Fire Sect does not dare to take action against the Ye family personally!
"Let's go back to Yecheng!"
With a wave of his hand, Ye Chen took the lead and flew in the direction of Ye Chen.
Yecheng is not very far from the location of this space node, only about a day's journey away. Although there are three people dragging them down, Ye Chen and his party still only took half a day to reach the outskirts of Yecheng by traveling at full speed.
At this time, Ye Chen was still noisy and there was nothing unusual, which made Ye Chen and Hu Tian feel relieved and more certain that the Ye family had not suffered any loss.
However, Queen Medusa and others who came to Yecheng for the first time were shocked. This was the first time they had seen such a huge city since they came to Zhongzhou!
"Young Master, is such a big city really yours?" Alita raised her hand to close her mouth, turned to look at Ye Chen, and asked in disbelief.
Such a big city can probably accommodate millions of people, right?
Ye Chen nodded and said calmly, "Ye City was originally built by the ancestors of the Ye family. It wasn't this big originally, but it has grown to this size after hundreds of years of development."
At this moment, everyone had a deeper understanding of the reputation of the five major families in Danyu.
What they didn't know was that Ye Chen wasn't too satisfied with the current size of Ye City! When he first went to Dan City, after seeing the size and configuration of Dan City, Ye Chen had been thinking about when he could renovate Ye City...
Unfortunately, I haven't had the time or the resources to do so. I can only wait until I've established myself in Danta before pursuing this wish.
After returning to the Ye family, Ye Chen apologized to Queen Medusa, and then asked Hu Tian to take everyone to the courtyard where he lived.
He himself went directly to the patriarch's study, wanting to find out what had caused the conflict between the Ye family and the Black Fire Sect.
What he didn't expect was that when he arrived at the master's study, in addition to his grandfather and father, he also met someone he had never expected...
"Huh? Chen'er, when did you come back?"
Seeing Ye Chen suddenly appear, Ye Zhong and his son were obviously a little surprised, and immediately asked in surprise.
Ye Chen first bowed and greeted the strange old man next to him who was wearing a black robe and had white hair and beard. Then he replied, "I just came back too, but because I heard about the incident with the Black Fire Sect when I entered the Central Region, I hurried back."
"I wonder who this senior is?"
Seeing Ye Chen asking, Ye Zhong also came back to his senses, then laughed and introduced to Ye Chen: "Haha, blame me, blame me, you were so happy to see Chen'er that you ignored your friends. Come, come, Chen'er, this is grandpa's good friend, Su Qian, you can just call him Grandpa Su..."
"Hahaha, Brother Su, this is the Qilin son of my Ye family that I was talking about, Ye Chen! Brother Su, take a look. Is he worthy of your attention?"
When saying this, Ye Zhong did not hide the pride in his tone at all.
The black-clothed old man, Su Qian, didn't care about this. After all, the two of them had a life-long friendship, and he also knew that Ye Chong didn't treat him as an outsider...
However, when looking at Ye Chen carefully, Su Qian was still shocked.
"Brother Ye, is your grandson really not even sixteen years old?" After repeatedly confirming Ye Chen's current cultivation level, Su Qian finally couldn't help but ask.
Ye Zhong chuckled and said proudly, "Of course! This kid's fifteenth birthday is still a few days away, so if he says he's sixteen, that's not a problem."
