CHAPTER 1266: CHAPTER 1194: BATTLE OF THE STAR LORDS

Upon emerging from the mysterious place and arriving outside the Light Gate, Ye Chen instantly sensed Star Lord Qian Lin and her companions.

"So it’s her."

Ye Chen had a premonition that those trying to intercept him were likely from the nearest region, led by Star Lord Qian Lin. Indeed, it was her.

"Star Lord Qian Lin, ranked fifth among the seven Star Lords of the Abyss. Her reputation is for a celestial appearance and ruthless methods."

"Previously in the Nine Bends Demon Realm, I didn’t see her in action. Now it seems the rumors were true, a Star Lord with such a murderous intent to seize treasures."

Ye Chen shook his head, his expression unchanged, and continued to walk out of the cave.

When Ye Chen sensed Star Lord Qian Lin and her companions.

Star Lord Qian Lin and her companions naturally sensed Ye Chen instantly as well.

"My lord, it’s him!"

"This is Jiang Li, who entered the First Treasure Tomb!"

As Star Lord Qian Lin was intently watching Ye Chen, Lin Tong, who had sensed Ye Chen in the cave, called out directly to Star Lord Qian Lin.

"Shut up!"

Star Lord Qian Lin interrupted Lin Tong, her eyes seriously fixed on Ye Chen walking out of the cave.

Startled by Star Lord Qian Lin’s admonishment, Lin Tong shuddered and hurriedly retreated to the side, not daring to utter another word.

At this moment.

Star Lord Qian Lin vaguely felt that the slightly chubby, finely dressed middle-aged man in front of her gave her a familiar feeling.

Especially seeing that this person was aware of her presence and dared to walk out directly, the feeling of familiarity grew stronger.

Star Lord Qian Lin’s divine eyes were fixed tightly on Ye Chen.

As Ye Chen emerged from the cave, she suddenly became visibly moved and exclaimed in surprise, "You are Ye Chen!"

Star Lord Qian Lin, upon a dedicated investigation, finally discovered Ye Chen’s transformable appearance and recognized him!

"Ye Chen?"

"Could it be the young man who gained fame in the Nine Bends Demon Realm?"

Upon hearing Star Lord Qian Lin’s astonished cry, the three peak Cosmic Emperors beside her were equally shocked, hurriedly scrutinizing the person emerging from the cave.

However, thanks to Ye Chen’s Great Change of Taiyi, even a Star Lord would need special scrutiny to uncover his true appearance hidden beneath his transformable facade. The three peak Cosmic Emperors couldn’t discern Ye Chen’s original form.

Only after Ye Chen noticed Star Lord Qian Lin’s recognition did he retract his Taiyi Change Divine Power and revert from a slightly chubby, finely dressed middle-aged man to his extraordinary young self, allowing those peak Cosmic Emperors to finally recognize Ye Chen.

"Indeed, it is Ye Chen!"

The three peak Cosmic Emperors, though they had never entered the Nine Bends Demon Realm, had heard a lot about Ye Chen and remembered his appearance from descriptions.

They hadn’t anticipated that the person entering the First Treasure Tomb this time would be the young man famed in the Nine Bends Demon Realm.

"Lord, what do we do."

"This Ye Chen, reportedly as formidable as a Star Lord within the Nine Bends Demon Realm. Seeing him calmly walk out, indifferent to us, he seems difficult to handle."

Di Hua and his companions transmitted their thoughts to Star Lord Qian Lin.

Star Lord Qian Lin merely snorted coldly.

She didn’t respond to her subordinates’ transmission, instead fixing her beautiful eyes coldly on Ye Chen and said, "No wonder you surpassed Tian Lan Yan to become the only one who could enter the First Treasure Tomb, Ye Chen."

"Star Lord Qian Lin, well met." Seeing Star Lord Qian Lin’s demeanor, Ye Chen knew that even though she recognized him, she had no intention of letting him go, so he directly spoke, "So, Star Lord Qian Lin, waiting here specifically, did you come because you received news about the First Treasure Tomb and aimed to ambush me?"

"Lin, you truly are a good teammate!"

Ye Chen glanced at Lin Tong, mocking him with his words.

Lin Tong was utterly shocked at this moment!

Lin Tong had naturally heard of Ye Chen, knew that Ye Chen was a powerful figure who could contend with the five major Star Lords in the Nine Bends Demon Realm.

Never did Lin Tong imagine that the slightly chubby, finely dressed middle-aged man Jiang Li, teamed with him, was Ye Chen in disguise.

If Lin Tong had known it was Ye Chen, he likely wouldn’t have dared to send word back.

After all, Lin Tong had heard that Ye Chen was extremely elusive, capable of escaping even Star Lord level demons, and feared that if Ye Chen escaped from Star Lord Qian Lin this time, it would bring him immense trouble.

Lin Tong dared not look at Ye Chen.

He could only pray that Ye Chen would be killed by Star Lord Qian Lin, leaving him with no chance to seek vengeance.

Countless thoughts flashed through Lin Tong’s mind, but as a minor character, no one cared about his thoughts.

At this moment, Star Lord Qian Lin’s full attention was on Ye Chen.

Upon hearing Ye Chen’s mocking words, Star Lord Qian Lin didn’t hide her intentions, directly stating, "Ye Chen, you are indeed a smart person."

"Yes, I came this time for the First Treasure Tomb."

"If it were someone else, I might spare their life after taking their treasure, but for a genius like you, Ye Chen, I wish to take your treasure but cannot let you go."

"Otherwise, it would cause me immense trouble later on. A genius like you requires complete elimination, does it not?"

Star Lord Qian Lin’s words were incomparably calm, even facing Ye Chen who caused a stir in the Nine Bends Demon Realm, she was confident in capturing this supreme talent.

"It seems Star Lord Qian Lin is resolved on me."

Ye Chen smiled at the female Star Lord with her saintly appearance and ruthless methods, "I fear that Star Lord Qian Lin will be disappointed. With your strength, you cannot kill me."
