Ye Chu had not expected things to turn out this way either. Watching the crowd fighting fiercely, he slightly raised his eyebrows. The strength of these people was not weak, as they all possessed the power of Emperors. In the eyes of ordinary cultivators, they were existences like towering mountains. Yet, these people had actually gathered here, fighting and killing each other to snatch the Giant Dragon Token.
“Could it be that they also know the Giant Dragon Token contains evil energy?” Ye Chu frowned deeply and could not help but look down at his arms, where Bai Qingqing was still asleep.
Ye Chu wondered how this woman had obtained the news she told him. Was it not her exclusive information?
Ye Chu did not know that this news was accidentally overheard by Bai Qingqing while she was competing with Lin Shixin. Knowing Ye Chu was interested in the evil energy, she had kept it in mind.
In other words, quite a few people knew this news. Those who came were all attracted by the secret of the Giant Dragon Token.
Of course, it was not all for the evil energy, because the Giant Dragon Token was related to many things! It was precisely because of this that Ye Chu had not expected someone to intercept him halfway and snatch away what should have belonged to him.
Looking at these people fighting fiercely, Ye Chu gazed at them coldly.
“Ye Chu…” Ye Jingyun walked up to Ye Chu at this moment. Looking at the people fighting continuously to snatch the Giant Dragon Token, she asked what they should do.
“Chase after them and take a look!” Ye Chu did not act rashly. Those snatching the Giant Dragon Token were not weak, and who knew if there were even stronger ones. He did not believe he could easily snatch the Giant Dragon Token amidst the besieging and killing of these people.
The head of the Huo family also ordered his men to chase after them. At the same time, he looked at Ma Hua provocatively and laughed loudly, “Head Ma, you were the one who failed to receive it. If we snatch it back, this Giant Dragon Token will still belong to my Huo family.”
“Hmph!” Ma Hua looked at the other party coldly. “We will see after you snatch it back. But I must remind you, if the Giant Dragon Token is lost, neither you nor I can bear the responsibility. The four great families would truly have no need to exist!”
These words made the head of the Huo family’s expression change. The heads of the other families also looked equally grim. “This is not the time to fight amongst ourselves. The four families will act together. No matter who they are, we must snatch the Giant Dragon Token back!”
The heads of the four families gave the order, summoning all the strong experts of their clans, determined to snatch the item back.
Ma Hua caught up with Ye Chu and said to him, “Your speed is extremely fast. When there is a chance later, snatch the Giant Dragon Token, and I will cover your escape.”
Ye Chu nodded. His gaze fell on the group of people snatching the Giant Dragon Token, which kept changing hands among them.
As time went by, more and more people came to snatch the Giant Dragon Token.
“Damn it, the Giant Dragon Token is good, but it is not worth so many strong experts coming to snatch it. What exactly are they after?” Ma Hua cursed loudly. He knew the Giant Dragon Token was beneficial for cultivation, but this should not make people this crazy.
Or rather, did they have a way to comprehend the secrets within the Giant Dragon Token? But thinking about it, this seemed unlikely. If they truly had such a method, should they not have known long ago?
Just as the crowd was snatching the Giant Dragon Token, several men wearing blood red robes suddenly appeared. The moment they appeared, the sky carried a bloody aura. They pounced into the fray, and their strikes were extremely fierce. The cultivator who had obtained the Giant Dragon Token could not block these few men at all and was directly torn apart and killed.
In an instant, the Giant Dragon Token was in their hands. Watching the Giant Dragon Token fall into their hands, Ye Chu’s expression changed. He naturally knew who these people were.
Back in the Passion Domain, Ye Chu had encountered them.
“Blood Guards, the forces left behind by the Blood Slaughter Supreme. How are they here, and why are they snatching the Giant Dragon Token!”
Ye Chu was shocked in his heart and stared blankly at them. If these people had made a move, it was truly troublesome.
However, many others did not know about the Blood Guards, let alone their terror. Seeing the Giant Dragon Token fall into their hands, they were all furious. Various powers continuously erupted and rolled towards these people, wanting to snatch the Giant Dragon Token back.
“Die!” the Blood Guards roared. Several of them attacked together, tracing out strange arcs. The sky instantly flashed with patterns, carrying a blood red hue, and rolled towards one of the Emperors.
This Emperor did not even have a chance to resist before directly turning into a dried corpse. The essence of his entire body vanished, divided among the men in blood red robes.
“Hiss…”
The cultivators who were originally preparing to pounce on the few men had their expressions change drastically. They looked at the others in shock, their faces pale. What kind of technique was this, to suck the other party into a dried corpse in an instant?
Ma Hua and the others also had their expressions change drastically. The few who wanted to pounce stopped in their tracks, looking at each other and seeing the fear in each other’s eyes.
“Who are these people? They are too terrifying. A person at the third level of the Xuangu Realm actually turned into a dried corpse in a single encounter.”
Ye Chu’s heart also skipped a beat. These few Blood Guards were too strong, incomparable to those in the Passion Domain.
“Ye Jingyun, help me get a set of clothes identical to these Blood Guards!” Ye Chu suddenly said to Ye Jingyun.
“What are you going to do?” Ye Jingyun stared at Ye Chu with wide eyes. “You are not going to impersonate them, are you?”
“There is no time to explain to you. Go and get a set of clothes for me. I will follow them first and leave secret signals along the way. Once you get the clothes, bring them to me!” Ye Chu shouted at Ye Jingyun, then quickly followed the Blood Guards who were about to disappear.
“Ye Chu…” Ma Hua also shouted, wanting to hold Ye Chu back, but Ye Chu had already disappeared.
Several Blood Guards stayed behind to cover the retreat, while one of them shot towards the distance. Relying on the Instant Wind Technique, Ye Chu quickly followed the other party, trailing far behind.
Perhaps because someone was covering his retreat, he was not in a hurry. His speed was not very fast, so it was not strenuous for Ye Chu to keep up.
Of course, there were also people like Ye Chu among them. But how could these people compare to Ye Chu? Ye Chu could emit not a single trace of aura from his body, whereas they could not.
The fate of these people was very tragic. Once discovered by him, they all turned into dried corpses. Watching him turn cultivators into dried corpses with his strikes, Ye Chu clicked his tongue in his heart. This person’s strength was probably already at the upper grade Emperor level, and he was absolutely no match for him.
“Upper grade Emperors have even appeared. Could it be that the Blood Guards also know the news about the evil energy? But the Blood Guards aim to resurrect the Blood Slaughter Supreme. What do they want with the evil energy?”
Ye Chu could not understand, and quickly followed.
This Blood Guard killed all the way, finally killing all the cultivators following him. Only then did he play with the Giant Dragon Token while continuing his journey.
Ye Chu chased all the way until he reached a village. Watching that Blood Guard enter the village, Ye Chu finally stabilised his pace and waited for Ye Jingyun to arrive.
After waiting for a while, Ye Jingyun finally arrived. She handed the items to Ye Chu. “What do you want this for? You must not impersonate them. These people are too strong. Each one is stronger than Zhao Xiang and the others, and their strikes are ruthless, far beyond what Zhao Xiang and the others can compare to.”
