But the problem is,
during the chaos of the demons, he was originally a major contributor to the Lingyin Sect, but could not resist provoking and mocking that Chen Ye, and was directly cut off an arm!
How unjust? How unfortunate?!
"Damn... damn it!"
Zhao Shan gritted his teeth.
Suddenly, he sensed something, feeling a calm gaze on his back.
He abruptly turned his head.
Just to meet the eyes of Chen Ye in the crowd not far away.
At this moment,
the air seemed to freeze.
"Chen... Ye!"
These two words squeezed out from Zhao Shan’s gritted teeth.
If looks could kill, Chen Ye would have been torn to pieces by a thousand cuts by now.
"Peak Master Zhao, it’s been a while."
Chen Ye remained composed, even nodding slightly, as a form of greeting,
"It seems Peak Master Zhao is recovering well, full of vigor, and surely that pain from the broken arm is no longer a problem."
"You—!!"
This casual remark directly burst Zhao Shan’s lung pipe.
His eyes turned red, and his spiritual power surged around him, causing the nearby lamps to tremble:
"You bastard! Dare to show up before me again?! If it weren’t for you relying on Bai Susu, I would..."
"Peak Master Zhao."
Chen Ye interrupted him, glancing at his empty left shoulder,
"This is Tianhua Peak, the important place of the Earth Treasure Pavilion. If you want to make a move, you should see if the rules of Tianhua Peak permit it."
"Besides... last time in the main hall, Peak Master Zhao also shouted about killing and fighting. And what happened?"
The result?
The result was that he lost an arm!
The spiritual power Zhao Shan was about to unleash was forcibly stuck in his palm.
He dared not.
He just couldn’t restrain himself for a moment.
Moreover, Chen Ye is currently in the spotlight, not only as Bai Susu’s person, but also as a war hero...
"Fine... very fine!"
Zhao Shan forcibly suppressed the killing intent in his heart, but his eyes were venomous,
"Chen Ye, don’t get carried away! A pretty boy rising through a woman, let’s see how long you can be arrogant! Wait until Bai Susu gets tired of you..."
Chen Ye didn’t even have the interest to respond to the lament of such a defeated dog.
Or rather, he actually had a bit of pity for Zhao Shan.
He turned to look at the embarrassed, bewildered Guardian Zhang: "Guardian Zhang, is it?"
"Ah? Yes, yes!"
Guardian Zhang quickly responded.
Although he couldn’t stand Zhao Shan’s tyranny, he couldn’t afford to offend him. Seeing someone to mediate the situation, he was naturally glad.
He just didn’t expect that this was actually the legendary Chen Ye.
"I’m in need of some spiritual materials."
Chen Ye spoke directly, without wasting words, stating the list he had already thought of,
"Three sets of second-tier upper grade Purple Cloud Dragon Pattern Steel, one set of second-tier upper grade Heavenly Star Flowing Silver, and if there are other spiritual materials, could the guardian kindly inform me."
As he glanced around, the only second-tier upper grade spiritual materials suitable for puppet refinement currently visible in the Earth Treasure Pavilion were these two types.
As for third-tier materials, they weren’t even seen.
But these materials, though possibly used to refine two pieces of second-tier upper grade magical treasures, were still far from enough to refine the top puppet Chen Ye had in mind.
Guardian Zhang took a deep breath, nearly dropping his ledger.
"How... how much?"
"What? Does the Earth Treasure Pavilion not have them?" Chen Ye frowned.
"We do... but..."
Guardian Zhang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, cautiously glancing at Chen Ye,
"Guardian Chen, the price of these items combined is an astronomical figure, probably over ten thousand contribution points."
Ordinary Peak Masters might not have over ten thousand contribution points on hand.
But Chen Ye, back in his day, saved Bai Susu, slew Mei Suxin, Li Min, and Yuan Family’s three demons, and also aided Moon Rhinoceros Lake District, killing many Foundation Establishment demon cultivators.
His contribution points far exceed those of typical Peak Masters.
"Ha! What a big pretender!"
Zhao Shan finally found a chance to counterattack, sneering,
"A grown man flaunting spirit stones earned from a woman?"
Unlike Guardian Zhang,
he actually didn’t doubt Chen Ye had that many contribution points, just seeing Chen Ye’s extravagant spending rekindled his inner resentment.
Chen Ye tossed the token to Guardian Zhang.
Guardian Zhang carefully examined it with divine sense, his expression changing, staring at the token.
It had a full thirteen thousand points!
How many great deeds must be done for the sect for this!
Could it be that a Foundation Establishment late period great demon died at his hands?
"Ha, he’s the Bai family’s dragon-in-law." Zhao Shan commented softly, unsurprised, his tone sarcastic.
Chen Ye remained unresponsive,
but the cultivators watching couldn’t help themselves, someone whispered:
"Whatever Guardian Chen does, it’s Peak Master Zhao, the dignified Peak Master of Spirit Snake Peak, who seems somewhat out of line today..."
"Could it be, jealousy? Heh, why not go seek Fairy Zhao of Danxia Peak." someone else murmured.
Zhao Shan was already extremely angry.
Hearing this, his face turned hideous.
"Who?!! Which rat was talking nonsense just now? Come out!!"
The crowd fell silent.
The cultivators looked down or elsewhere, unwilling to step on this landmine at this moment.
Seeing no one dared to respond, Zhao Shan’s nameless evil fire had nowhere to vent, making his chest almost burst.
Eventually,
the fire fell upon Chen Ye.
"Chen Ye!!"
Zhao Shan roared angrily, voice formidable,
"It must be you! You instructed this rabble to humiliate me! What? Flaunting some dirty money, relying on Bai Susu’s protection, do you really think you can dominate Lingyin Sect alone?!"
"If you have the guts, face me on the magic battle platform today!"
Sigh.
Chen Ye sighed softly to himself.
No way around it.
Originally Chen Ye and Zhao Shan shouldn’t be like this, but Susu took his arm, turning the two into mortal enemies.
