Chapter 1477: Dilly-Dallying Chapter 1477: Dilly-Dallying Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation “If you want to deal with Ye Chen, you can take your time!” Beigong Hongtian spoke up to stop him. His eyes flickered with a deeper meaning as he secretly communicated with the four grand elders. They could invest in Ye Chen. The Hall of Souls was also a great enemy of theirs, but they were also tyrannical. Therefore, they did not dare to fall out with them publicly, but they could still intervene indirectly. Hun Tian’s phantom did not seem to have a strong aura. Furthermore, it seemed that the phantom’s combat strength was a little unstable. Perhaps if they drew things out, this phantom’s combat strength would decrease greatly, or even dissipate. The Hall of Souls harmed dozens of the Beigong family’s experts, and even injured two of their grand elders. They had to be avenged! Moreover, they were confident that Ye Chen had an expert backing him up. If there was a time to pick sides, it was now. If they waited until Ye Chen resolved the situation by himself, there likely would be no chance to restore the relationship between them. The Fourth Grand Elder secretly transmitted his voice. “Hongtian, find an opportunity to delay Hun Tian’s phantom. Don’t attack and give the Hall of Souls any excuse to attack us. As long as they don’t have justification, we can rope in the Baili family and Sacred Flame sect to help us resist them.” “We just have to play for time and do our best to keep Ye Chen alive. The expert supporting Ye Chen is very strong. The burst of power just now was extremely terrifying, so we have to stay on good terms with him.” “This is our best opportunity to forge a good relationship with him.” Ye Chen’s secret was precious, but it was not something the Beigong family could covet. If Ye Chen did not die, he would definitely be able to achieve great things in the future and even become a true giant in the Lingwu Continent. Having someone like that on their side was a beneficial thing for the Beigong family. The grand elders of the Beigong family were better than Beigong Hongtian at weighing the pros and cons of a situation, and they also knew better than he did what they could and could not covet. “Understood!” “I’ll stall him, but avoid antagonizing the Hall of Souls,” Beigong Hongtian replied. All of this happened in the blink of an eye. He looked at Ye Chen meaningfully as he transmitted his voice to Ye Chen, “Little Brother Ye, we’ll help you stop Hun Tian. Once enough time passes, his phantom will get weaker and weaker, until it no longer poses a threat to you.” Summoning techniques like this had limitations, especially in terms of duration. Ye Chen might die at the hands of the phantom, or he might not. However, it was an opportunity for the Beigong family to befriend Ye Chen, and if they saved his life, would he not repay them? Ye Chen smiled and nodded. He wanted to see what tricks the Beigong family had up their sleeves. As for Elder Hun Tian’s phantom, it had the combat strength of a fifth-level Creation realm cultivator. In his current condition, he was not confident that he could deal with it.” “Elder Hun Tian!” “I think we should have a good talk about that matter from six hundred years ago!” When Beigong Hongtian saw Elder Hun Tian land on the ground, he walked up to him. At the same time, the four grand elders around him moved as well. They took up positions in four directions, north, south, east, and west, seemingly wanting to surround Elder Hun Tian. Still they kept their distance, only moving to maintain the encirclement whenever he moved. Elder Hun Tian’s phantom instantly became vigilant when he saw the five Creation realm experts approaching him. A Dao Integration-grade artifact appeared in his hand and he said, “The five of you had better keep your distance. Otherwise, don’t blame me for taking action!” “Everyone, think carefully about what you’re planning to do. The Hall of Souls has quite a few Sealed Gate realm experts, whereas you only have eight or nine Creation realm experts.” “Don’t shoot yourself in the foot!” He walked forward, but when he did, the five people surrounding him also followed suit. He had no choice but to use words to warn Beigong Hongtian and the others. At the same time, he was extremely anxious. If he did not take action soon, his phantom would eventually dissipate! The phantom was formed from Hun Miesheng’s sacrifice, and could last three minutes at most. In fact, after a minute, its strength would begin to weaken. Now that Beigong Hongtian and the other five were surrounding him and wasting time, he was hesitating as to whether to attack them or not. If he attacked these five, then he would consume a lot of energy, and Ye Chen would likely be able to escape. “Everyone, step back while you can!” “If you anger the Hall of Souls, your family will cease to exist in the Lingwu Continent!” “Ye Chen must die today. Otherwise, when the Hall Master returns, he will personally kill him! Your Beigong family won’t be exterminated if you anger me, but once you anger our Hall Master, you will be exterminated!” Hun Tian swiftly walked forward, his voice carrying waves of coldness. Ye Chen had to die! There was a blood dragon in his body, just like from the legends! However, these b*stards from the Beigong family wanted to stop him in order to secure benefits for themselves! Idiots! They were a bunch of idiots! Could they not think straight? Even if they could stop him, the Hall Master would eventually return and personally take action. At that time, Ye Chen would still die, and the Beigong family would be wiped out! However, since Beigong Hongtian had already made up his mind, he was naturally unafraid. He took a step forward and said rudely, “You’re getting ahead of yourself.” “The Hall of Souls has ambushed many of our experts, and even our grand elders, countless times!” “In addition, you are saying that we’re stopping you? We’re not!” Beigong Hongtian took out a map and pointed at it. “”Look at this area, Flame Demon Mountain… Who do you think should be in control of it?” “Also, we have disputes about the Yangfeng Valley, the Tianchan Plain, the Chaotic Valley, and seven other places. We are only discussing border issues with you, not trying to stop you. After you answer our questions and settle our border disputes, you can go and kill your enemy!” Beigong Hongtian had every intention of delaying Hun Tian’s phantom. He was betting on Hun Tian not daring to make a move on them! To put it bluntly, he was still afraid of the Hall of Souls. If he really wanted to help Ye Chen, he could just attack and destroy Hun Tian’s phantom, but that would start a war between them. Beigong Hongtian delayed Elder Hun Tian’s phantom and rambled on for almost a minute. When Ye Chen saw this scene, he could not hold it in any longer. “Is this how experts resolve things? This is quite the joke. I’m leaving. You guys can chat among yourselves!” However, Ye Chen had only taken a few steps when a cold female voice came from behind him. It was Venerable Immortal Ling Yun! “Ye Chen, do you know that leaving now is equivalent to courting death?” “Stay here!” Venerable Immortal Ling Yun knew very well that Ye Chen’s safest course of action was to wait patiently for Hun Tian’s phantom to dissipate. Otherwise, Hun Tian would be enraged and would attack regardless of the Beigong family’s deterrence. Ye Chen’s footsteps did not stop, which made her expression darken. After he successfully challenged the formation, her impression of Ye Chen had changed, and she was more than willing to recruit him into the Spirit Immortal Palace. However, he still needed to fix his attitude!
