“When did you return to Yao City?” Liang Shan looked at Ye Chu, extremely surprised. He originally thought that with Ye Chu’s strength, it would be difficult for him to appear in Yao City again, but he did not expect that just after waking up this morning, he would see Ye Chu at his doorstep.
Ye Chu shrugged, looking at Liang Shan, who now possessed a certain aura, and smiled, saying, “I did not expect that you have actually cultivated to the peak of the Spirit Entering Realm and are hopeful of breaking through to the Origin Spirit Realm.”
Ye Chu was walking this way from the Rain Mist Sacred Land and did not expect to pass right through Yao City. So he came in to find Liang Shan. What surprised Ye Chu was that, compared to the past, the spiritual energy in Yao City was much thicker.
“Hehe, this is all thanks to the things you left behind back then, and the help of Pang Shao and the others, which allowed me to luckily cultivate to this level. You have not seen Pang Shao for a long time, tsk tsk, that guy has even cultivated to the upper tier of the King Realm, his talent is truly not bad! By the way, how strong are you?” Liang Shan asked.
Ye Chu did not expect that Liang Shan and Pang Shao were actually hanging out together. Thinking of that fat man he had not seen for a long time, Ye Chu could not help but smile. He was not surprised at all that Pang Shao had cultivated to the upper tier of the King Realm. Pang Shao still had potential, it was just that he was lazy and sluggish, otherwise he would not have been beaten by him back then. Besides, the Pang family was also an ancient aristocratic family in the empire. Although it could not compare to those sacred lands, it was still a family with a deep foundation, so cultivating Pang Shao to the peak of the King Realm was not a problem at all.
“I am naturally a bit stronger than Pang Shao!” Ye Chu said with a smile to Liang Shan.
Hearing Ye Chu’s words, Liang Shan could not help but click his tongue. Thinking of what Pang Shao had said back then, a look of schadenfreude appeared on the corners of his mouth.
Pang Shao’s strength had surged, and he was full of confidence in himself, feeling that he would definitely be able to teach Ye Chu a good lesson when they met. Now it seemed that his daydream was about to be shattered.
Liang Shan thought about it and agreed. Ye Chu was already that strong the last time he returned, so his strength must have surged again this time.
“What are you doing back this time? Could it be for the Cold Lake secret treasure?” Liang Shan suddenly thought of something, staring at Ye Chu with wide eyes, “It must be like this, you must have come for the treasure in the Cold Lake, that is why I was wondering how you kid would come back here.”
“What Cold Lake secret treasure?” Ye Chu looked at Liang Shan in confusion, not understanding in his heart, wondering what secret treasure the Cold Lake could have.
“You do not know?” Liang Shan looked at Ye Chu suspiciously and said, “The Cold Lake has undergone great changes in recent months, with rich spiritual energy diffusing out from it. Everyone is rumouring that there is a supreme treasure inside, and many strong experts who are usually hidden have appeared. By the way, do you know about your eldest brother Ye Tian? He is incredibly strong now, having actually cultivated to the Emperor Realm level. He is guarding the Cold Lake right now!”
“He reached the Emperor Realm?” Ye Chu was extremely surprised in his heart. For people in Yao City, cultivating to the Emperor Realm was extremely difficult.
“Yes! It is rumoured that he had a certain encounter, which caused his strength to surge and reach the Emperor Realm. Tsk tsk, now he is much stronger than you.” Liang Shan said with immense envy.
Ye Chu smiled and did not explain, looking at Liang Shan and saying, “You say there is a supreme treasure in the Cold Lake, does anyone know what it is?”
Liang Shan shook his head and said, “No one knows. Ye Tian once dived into the Cold Lake, but it was too deep, and he could not reach the bottom. No one knows what is in there, but with such rich spiritual energy surging out, I am afraid that the treasure is about to emerge, so many people are guarding it.”
“Let us go and have a look too!” Ye Chu said to Liang Shan, feeling somewhat interested in what he said. He wanted to see what could make the spiritual energy in Yao City become so rich.
Liang Shan and Ye Chu went to the Cold Lake together. The Cold Lake was the same as before, like a bright mirror embedded in the earth, the water shimmering, beautiful and quiet, the rippling ripples swaying with the gentle breeze, and the willow branches fluttering.
Everything was no different from the past, but Ye Chu’s powerful perception could detect that streams of spiritual energy were seeping out from the surface of the Cold Lake, diffusing to every part of Yao City. The seeping spiritual energy was very thick, and if it could continue like this, the number of strong experts entering the Spirit Entering Realm in Yao City would be countless. Yao City would also become a spiritual land.
“How is it? Is there spiritual energy seeping out from it?” Liang Shan said to Ye Chu, pointing at some boats, “Many of these boats floating on the Cold Lake belong to cultivators who were attracted here. There is no lack of strong experts among them, and up to now, no one knows what kind of formidable figures have arrived. Tsk tsk, I hope no one above the Emperor Realm comes, otherwise even Ye Tian would not be able to deal with them.”
Ye Chu smiled, “You help me find a boat too, I have not toured the Cold Lake for a long time, and I actually miss it a bit.”
Thinking of the time spent at the Cold Lake with Tan Miaotong, Qing Wenting, and the others, Ye Chu felt a bit of warmth in his heart. He just did not know how that woman Qing Wenting was doing, having disappeared for several years. Having obtained the essence of the Great General, she was probably transformed to a terrifying degree.
“It is time to go and see Pang Shao and the others, these people should have some news about Qing Wenting.” Ye Chu muttered. He wandered everywhere, so it was hard for Qing Wenting to find him, but it was not difficult to pass messages to Pang Shao and the others.
“Why look for another boat, just go directly onto Ye Tian’s boat.” Liang Shan said to Ye Chu.
Hearing Liang Shan’s words, Ye Chu frowned slightly, but thought about it and nodded. Although he had been expelled from the Ye family, there was no reason for him to avoid the people of the Ye family.
“Which boat is it?” Ye Chu asked Liang Shan.
Liang Shan pointed at a large red boat in the middle of the lake and said, “That one, it is one of the largest boats in the lake.”
Ye Chu nodded, called over a ferry boatman, and asked him to take himself and Liang Shan to that large boat. Liang Shan was very dissatisfied with this, muttering incessantly, “You are already a King Realm expert and can walk in the air, just take me and fly over, why do we need a ferry, this is so slow.”
Ye Chu could not be bothered to pay attention to Liang Shan, as this guy did not understand the pleasure of touring the lake at all. He was in a hurry to go up because he heard that there were many beautiful courtesans on that large red boat.
Ye Tian currently held an extraordinary status in the Yao Kingdom, and the King of Yao had personally selected quite a few courtesans to serve Ye Tian, who were performing for him on this very boat, so Liang Shan was naturally delighted to go and see for himself.
As the ferry boatman moved slowly, Ye Chu and Liang Shan finally approached the large boat. Approaching the large boat, Liang Shan was somewhat impatient and prepared to climb aboard.
Seeing Liang Shan like this, Ye Chu shook his head, grabbed him, and landed in the air on the deck of the boat. Ignoring those startled guards, he took Liang Shan and walked straight inside.
Those guards had originally prepared to block them, but when they saw the two clearly, they quickly pretended not to see them. Liang Shan was one thing, although his strength was extraordinary at this moment, there were still some people in Yao City who could suppress him.
But they recognised Ye Chu, a person whose formidable and arrogant dominance they had witnessed, and who was also a brother to Lord Ye Tian. If they blocked him and got beaten, Lord Ye Tian would not stand up for them.
Ye Chu and Liang Shan walked inside, but just as they entered, they saw a person, which made Ye Chu pause for a moment, while the other party was even more surprised.
“Why are you here?”
In the tone, there was clearly a hint of joy.
