The Ice Emperor’s palace was extremely conspicuous, located right in the centre of the city, magnificent and luxurious, truly like an emperor’s royal palace. Looking at this palace, Ye Chu walked straight towards it.
This scene made those who noticed it dumbfounded. They wondered where this youth had come from. Did he not know what kind of place this was? He actually dared to walk towards a Sovereign’s palace. If he went a few more metres forward without retreating, he would be beaten out by the palace guards with clubs.
Sure enough, Ye Chu had not walked more than a few steps before he heard angry shouts. A palace guard glared at Ye Chu furiously. “Go further forward, and you die!”
Ye Chu suddenly laughed, still revealing his pearly white teeth, and still strode forward.
“Stop!” The guard shouted angrily, enraged to the extreme. Never had anyone dared to show such contempt for them. As guards of a Sovereign’s palace, even when facing cultivators several levels higher than themselves, they stood high above. Yet now, someone was ignoring their warnings.
The guard flew into a rage, thrusting a sword directly towards Ye Chu. Those who dared to break into the palace, kill them and be done with it!
Someone watching this scene could not help but sigh inwardly, thinking how could such a tender-looking youth be so unable to think things through, coming here to seek death.
In the eyes of outsiders, Ye Chu was naturally not going to break into the palace, but rather had a death wish, coming here to end his life. Because no one believed there was anyone who dared to break into the palace.
But the result exceeded their expectations. They saw Ye Chu grab the thrusting sword with one hand, his arm shaking, directly knocking the opponent’s sword flying. Ye Chu’s palm directly clamped around the other’s throat.
“I’m going to take a stroll inside this palace!” Ye Chu looked at the other person, a cold smile at the corners of his mouth, directly crushing the other’s throat.
This scene left everyone frozen in place, staring at Ye Chu in horror, with expressions of disbelief. This was far too shocking for them. Someone actually wanted to force their way into a Sovereign’s palace. Who did he think he was?
But in the moment they lost their senses, Ye Chu, holding the long sword he had seized, had already killed his way into the palace, leaving several corpses in his wake.
“Damn! Where did this kid pop out from? Has he gone mad? Actually daring to break into a Sovereign’s palace!”
“Holy crap, does he not want to live anymore?”
“…”
Ye Chu killed his way inside, his attacks extremely ruthless. Every time he struck, he definitely took a cultivator’s life. Ye Chu killed his way in all the way, and what surprised people was that along this path, he did not encounter any particularly strong experts. He only encountered one Xuan Ming Realm cultivator. He did not see a single cultivator above the fifth level Xuan Ming Realm.
A Sovereign’s palace, its protective strength was rather too weak.
Naturally, he did not know that in order to obtain the things in the Twin Fish Valley, the Ice Emperor had drawn away a large number of cultivators to guard that place. Quite a few of them were drawn from his own palace, which also caused the palace’s protective strength to be extremely weak. After all, the Ice Emperor believed no one would dare to break into a Sovereign’s palace.
Ye Chu killed his way in all the way, causing the guards and attendants in the palace to panic in terror. They had never imagined someone would dare to pluck the tiger’s whiskers. Was he not seeking death? Even if Lord Ice Emperor was not present, this was not a place outsiders could step into.
“Who are you? Do you know what kind of place this is?” A Xuan Ming Realm cultivator walked out, shouting loudly at Ye Chu.
Ye Chu smiled. His figure flashed, not saying a word. He landed before the other person, reaching his hand towards the other’s throat.
“How dar… ah…”
The other’s shout had not even finished before the hand blocking Ye Chu was directly broken. Ye Chu’s hand grabbed the other’s throat. “Where is the palace treasury?”
The other person was terrified, staring at Ye Chu with wide eyes, only feeling this fellow was outrageously bold, even daring to get ideas about the treasury.
“I don’t…”
Before the other’s words were finished, Ye Chu’s fingers suddenly exerted force, directly lifting him up, suffocating him until his entire person was breathing rapidly.
“I don’t want to hear ‘I don’t know.’ If you still dare to say those words, hell will be your final destination!” Ye Chu stared at the other person with icy coldness.
The cultivator finally could not endure it, pointing in a direction, and said haltingly, “The Western Palace direction!”
Ye Chu directly severed the other’s meridians, destroying the other’s entire cultivation, and tossed him to the side. His figure shot towards the Western Palace direction.
Ye Chu found the treasury, lifted the stone lion before the door, and smashed it fiercely towards the great door. The great door was directly blown open by Ye Chu. Ye Chu’s figure charged into it. Perhaps no one had imagined someone would forcefully break into the treasury, plus most cultivators had been taken away by the Ice Emperor. Ye Chu walked into the treasury without encountering a single obstruction.
Ye Chu entered, and what appeared before him were rows upon rows of stone shelves. The stone shelves were filled with Green Origin Pills. Ye Chu did not know how many stone shelves there were. One glance showed nothing but Green Origin Pills that made cultivators’ mouths water.
Ye Chu did not think twice, his arm sweeping across. The Green Origin Pills were directly swept into the bracelet on his wrist. This was Ye Jingyun’s spatial artifact.
Ye Jingyun’s spatial artifact was not large in space, roughly five metres in length, width, and height. It could only count as a small warehouse. But for Ye Chu, this was enough.
The Green Origin Pills were frantically swept into the bracelet. Watching row after row of Green Origin Pills enter, Ye Chu could not help but feel excited. So many Green Origin Pills were enough for the four of them to cultivate with.
The Green Origin Pills continuously swept into the bracelet. Row after row of stone shelves emptied. Ye Chu’s movements were extremely swift. He knew it would not be long before cultivators came to surround and kill him.
Ten rows of stone shelves were quickly swept empty by Ye Chu. Ye Chu swept another three rows of stone shelves, seeing that the space inside the bracelet was one third full, before stopping and quickly heading towards the depths of the treasury.
A Sovereign’s treasury was not very large, and he quickly reached the end. At the deepest part of the treasury, Ye Chu saw several jade chests.
Ye Chu opened one of them and discovered several weapons with flowing light inside.
“Sun Moon Artifacts!” Ye Chu’s heart suddenly skipped a beat. He had not expected to obtain several Sun Moon Artifacts. These were far more precious than Green Origin Pills.
Ye Chu had no time to examine them carefully, directly placing them into the jade bracelet. Ye Chu opened the jade chest beside it. Inside were all precious items, either ores or medicinal herbs…
There was even one jade chest containing Mysterious Stones, which made Ye Chu unable to help feeling parched. He thought to himself, this was a great harvest.
Ye Chu placed all these things into the bracelet, but his gaze fell upon a jade box. This jade box was wedged into the floorboards. If not for Ye Chu’s sharp eyes, it would have been difficult to discover.
Ye Chu took out the jade box, and upon opening it, saw a jade book inside. Ye Chu had not originally paid it much mind, but after examining it carefully, his eyes suddenly burned with heat.
“Sha Spirit Master attack technique!” Ye Chu’s heart pounded. Although he possessed the Sha Spirit Master’s Soul Devouring Yuan Transformation Method, its effectiveness against enemies was rather limited. Ye Chu had always wanted an attacking Sha Spirit Art, but had not expected to obtain one at this moment.
Ye Chu was extremely excited, carefully placing it into his bosom. Ye Chu wanted to open the other few jade boxes, but sounds came from outside. This made Ye Chu abandon the notion. His arm swept across, sweeping all the jade boxes and jade chests into the jade bracelet. However, after all these things were swept inside, the remaining space in Ye Chu’s jade bracelet was limited.
