Chapter 448: Chapter 447: The True Martial Hall Situation and Building the Heavenly Gate

The reason Ye Chen so straightforwardly revealed the secret of his Demonic Qi to He Taiyuan was, first, because he trusted He Taiyuan, and second, to exchange information with He Taiyuan!

He saw He Taiyuan’s portrait in Shi Fengchun’s room.

Shi Fengchun was clearly very concerned about that portrait; there might be some unspeakable secret hidden in it, and Ye Chen hoped to find it out!

He Taiyuan had previously mentioned that within Celestial Cyan City, there were high-ranking insiders who had sided with the non-humans.

This made Ye Chen very uneasy.

Faced with Ye Chen’s question, He Taiyuan slightly furrowed his eyebrows and said, ”Do you know Shi Fengchun?”

Ye Chen said, ”Yes, I know him quite well. I’ve been to his room, and his room has your portrait, Elder He.”

He Taiyuan pondered for a moment, then said, ”I... am also from the True Martial Hall!”

Ye Chen was shocked at these words!

He had investigated He Taiyuan’s information but found nothing.

He Taiyuan said, ”You must have tried to find my information outside.”

Ye Chen nodded to acknowledge it; there was no need to hide this.

He Taiyuan sighed and said, ”You can’t find any information about me in Cangzhou, because I am from the Eastern Domain True Martial Hall Headquarters. As for Shi Fengchun, in a way, he’s my junior disciple. When he was young, due to some physical reasons, he was abandoned, and I brought him back to the True Martial Hall to pass on my master’s teachings.

I’m in charge of investigating a case at the Eastern Domain True Martial Hall Headquarters. Based on some clues, I came to Cangzhou, but as soon as I arrived, I encountered trouble and was trapped in the non-human’s outer realm.

Actually, the clues I’ve found only confirm that some traitors are related to high-ranking officials in Celestial Cyan City, but I haven’t determined exactly who it is yet.

However, I’m sure about one thing: Shi Fengchun is not a problem because, like me, he is a staunch supporter of the war faction!”

Ye Chen asked, ”Elder He, what is the war faction all about?”

At this point, He Taiyuan’s expression became very complex, and he said, ”The True Martial Hall has been resisting the non-humans for countless years, yet the calamity of the non-humans has never been resolved.

The hearts of people can waver.

Gradually, within the True Martial Hall, some suggested coexisting with the non-humans, which is the peace faction.

And there are others who uphold the True Martial Hall’s long-standing principle of fighting the non-humans to the end; this is the war faction.

In Cangzhou, you should know how fiercely the True Martial Hall in Cangzhou combats the non-humans, and all of this is because of Shi Fengchun.

Actually, in many areas of the Eastern Domain, some branch halls of the True Martial Hall have already lost the courage and fighting spirit to battle the non-humans.

In places managed by the peace faction, it may seem calm on the surface, but in the dark, non-humans act recklessly, and countless people have died horribly at the hands of non-humans.

Nowadays, the conflict between the war faction and the peace faction has almost reached an irreconcilable point.

The case I was investigating wasn’t actually directed at the peace faction. The peace faction’s approach towards the non-humans is only passive, not outright betrayal.

The real traitors have leaked many of our True Martial Hall’s important secrets, leading to severe damage to the True Martial Hall’s army by the non-humans.

The most serious incident among these was when the first legion of the True Martial Hall, the Black Armor Army, was completely wiped out three thousand years ago!”

Ye Chen’s thoughts also became complicated.

The complete annihilation of the True Martial Hall’s first legion, the Black Armor Army, three thousand years ago... Ye Chen knew about this, and there was a connection between it and him!

The lingering will of the Black Armor Army had once helped Ye Chen to slay the Prime Minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Yan Song, with a single sword!

”Blood stains the sky, yet fear not!”

”Corpses pave the road, not retreating a single step!”

Ye Chen slowly spoke these words, each resounding with strength.

He Taiyuan was once again shocked, his breathing becoming rapid, as he said, ”The matter of the Black Armor Army was sealed by the True Martial Hall. How... do you know their orders before every expedition...”
