Chapter 1553: Chapter 1548: Fear of the Fierce Ghost Sect_1 Chapter 1553: Chapter 1548: Fear of the Fierce Ghost Sect_1 These three words, individually or combined, were incredibly shocking.

Everyone in the Fierce Ghost Sect knew who Chen Jingkui was, and it was precisely because they knew who he was that they could not believe the reality before them.

Chen Jingkui was one of the three Demigods in their Fierce Ghost Sect, a presence that could run rampant in this region. Why would the Token he carried be in Yang Chen’s hands?

This was a baffling question.

In fact, the essence of this question wasn’t difficult to understand. Once someone’s personal Token appeared in someone else’s possession, there was only one explanation: that person was dead.

However, they just didn’t want to accept this reality.

“What exactly happened to Chen… Chen Jingkui?” Many of the Spirit Plate disciples still didn’t dare to think about it.

Li Huang said fiercely, “Chen Jingkui, following my orders, went to intercept and kill Li Lianfeng. But Li Lianfeng arrived safely, and the Token even fell into Yang Chen’s hands. I’m afraid Chen Jingkui is mostly dead.”

“Dead? How is that possible? How could Li Lianfeng possibly kill Chen Jingkui, let alone Yang Chen!” Several Fierce Ghost Sect members shook their heads, believing it was entirely impossible.

Li Huang spoke solemnly, “Just because they couldn’t kill him doesn’t mean others couldn’t!”

“But all of their Demigods were on this side…” Many people still couldn’t figure it out.

Only Luo Xu pondered for a moment before saying, “Brother Li Huang, do you mean they still have other hidden Demigod masters?”

“Most likely. If that’s not the case, I really can’t figure out how Chen Jingkui’s Token would end up in this kid’s hands. This is also the reason why I had no choice but to give up on the Northern Territory Sect. If they really have the ability to kill Chen Jingkui, our current situation would be much more troublesome.” Li Huang gritted his teeth and said.

The members of the Fierce Ghost Sect all gasped in cold air and became panicked.

Indeed, they had three Demigods, none of whom were inferior to the others. But now, following Li Huang’s analysis, the Token holders still had other Demigods, while they were left with only two. How could they compete?

“What should we do now? Are we just going to let it go? We still have to complete the Sect Leader’s task. If we don’t bring back the treasures from the Door to Dao Verification, how will we answer to the Sect Leader?” Luo Xu asked anxiously.

Li Huang said fiercely, “I don’t need your reminder; I know what to do. There’s still some time before the Door to Dao Verification opens. In this time, let’s try to keep a low profile and avoid doing anything meaningless. Try to contact the Sect Leader and see if we can get more reinforcements. If we can, it would be extremely beneficial for us.”

“That’s for the best.” Luo Xu felt bitter about being scolded by Li Huang. However, considering Li Huang’s status and identity, he could only sigh and change the topic, “It’s just that we lost that strange Lingcao to the kid.”

“What’s the hurry? When we have the chance, everything on this kid will be ours.” Li Huang fiercely clenched his fist.

…

At the same time, Yang Chen stood high in the sky, completely winning the hearts of the Spirit Plate Emperors from the Royal Family. Previously, some Emperors may not have been convinced by Yang Chen, thinking that he still had areas where he was lacking and inappropriate. Now, such thoughts had vanished.

What right did they have to question Yang Chen?

First was the Demon Race battle, followed by confronting the Fierce Ghost Sect. Yang Chen demonstrated his demon-like abilities in so many battles, never losing once.

“Haha, Yang Chen, my friend, you’ve done a great job!”

“Yeah, half the credit for driving away the Fierce Ghost Sect goes to you.”

Everyone congratulated or chatted, and Yang Chen was completely surrounded and treated like a star.

If anyone wasn’t happy, it was Hua Wanru.

At this moment, Hua Wanru stared straight at Yang Chen for a long time. It was only when Yang Chen noticed her gaze that she reluctantly retracted it and became calm and composed.

No one knew what she was thinking, nor did anyone know what kind of grudges and disputes were between her and Yang Chen.

Seeing Hua Wanru staring at him, Yang Chen’s expression turned serious.

He was just a little short of being able to take revenge on Hua Wanru. But it was precisely because he knew that he was just a little short that he had to be more careful and cautious.

How could Hua Wanru not know that he was just a little short? With his current strength, he was already able to fight those at the Integration stage. Given another ten or eight years, no one could guarantee how far he would go.

So, wouldn’t Hua Wanru try to kill him by any means necessary?

As Yang Chen thought about these matters, he realized that he needed to forge a good relationship with the Royal Family. At least in the future, when he went up against Hua Wanru, he could have more external support.

Thinking this, Yang Chen couldn’t help but say, “Senior Xie Yun, Senior Changsheng, I have a favor to ask.”

“Oh? My friend Yang Chen, if you have any requests, please feel free to ask.” Elder Xie Yun said with a smile, his face filled with joy, as was Ever-victorious Emperor’s.

As for Yang Chen’s request, they both agreed without hesitation.

Yang Chen’s terms couldn’t be unreasonable; he simply stated, “Right now, although the Fierce Ghost Sect has left the Northern Territory Sect, my Northern Territory Sect is broken and no longer feels like home. I hope the Royal Family can arrange for some people to help my Northern Territory Sect a little.”

“No problem. When Yang Chen was in trouble with the Royal Family, you supported us, and it’s time for the Royal Family to repay you,” the Ever-victorious Emperor agreed directly.

Yang Chen and the Royal Family could form an alliance; there was no need to separate them.

If they wanted to be an alliance, he had to help the Northern Territory Sect.

He calculated very clearly and saw Yang Chen’s value very clearly.

Yang Chen quickly expressed his gratitude, “Thank you, Senior Changsheng. In addition, I hope you can announce the departure of the Fierce Ghost Sect from the Northern Territory Sect to the world, so that all original members who have escaped can return!”

“Oh? That’s even easier. We, the Royal Family, will handle things for you.” The Ever-victorious Emperor said.

“Brother Yang Chen, if you need help, our Ocean Division Sect will also contribute.” At this moment, Emperor Fen Shui appeared from nowhere and said with a smile.

“Our Zhen Mountain Sect is also willing to help!” Emperor Ping Shan quickly added.

They had just watched the Royal Family fighting the Fierce Ghost Sect, completely with the intention of sitting on the sidelines and watching a tiger fight. Now that they saw the Royal Family win and everything was due to Yang Chen, they quickly started to flatter him.
