Because it goes deep into the mountains, the road is rugged and difficult to walk.
Ye Chen could originally fly in the air, but thinking that most of the people present were unable to fly in the air, he had to be patient and walk slowly.
After walking along the winding mountain road for about half an hour, they finally came to a valley.
This valley is shrouded in white mist and lush with trees, making it look extremely remote and hidden.
At the entrance of the valley, there is a gate.
On the door plaque, there are two strong and powerful characters engraved.
Soul clan!
"Master Ye, our clan leader is waiting inside, please come with me!"
Yun Bufan made a "please" gesture to Ye Chen and hurriedly stepped forward to lead the way.
However, Yuncheng and other young soul clan members did not follow him in, but just stayed outside.
"Why don't they come?"
Ye Chen asked subconsciously.
"They need to protect the safety of the soul clan, and our clan leader likes peace and quiet, and there are noisy people."
"That's it..."
Ye Chen didn't really care.
Under the leadership of Yun Bufan, he and An An quickly entered the depths of the valley.
There is a manor inside.
Surrounded by lush green bamboo forests, the breeze blows and rises and falls like waves.
Under the feet, there was a thick layer of dead leaves, which made a crackling sound when stepped on.
"arrive!"
Arriving in front of a circular arch, Yun Bufan stopped, and then said respectfully to the courtyard inside: "Clan leader, here comes the young man with the regicide sword!"
"come in!"
A gentle and delicate voice came from the courtyard.
"It's actually a woman?"
Ye Chen was a little shocked.
In his imagination, the leader of the Soul Clan, a race that even law enforcers are somewhat afraid of, should be a white-haired, respected old man.
Unexpectedly, what came from inside was a woman's voice.
"Master Ye, please!"
Yun Bufan made a "please" gesture to Ye Chen and took the lead to step into the circular arch.
Ye Chen and An An looked at each other and followed in.
Ye Chen was just curious.
But An Xi's whole body was extremely nervous, as if every step she took brought her closer to her fate. Her cute and charming face was flushed slightly with excitement.
However, she said nothing and just followed Ye Chen silently.
This courtyard does not have luxurious decoration, but looks a bit simple.
There is a pavilion standing in the center of the courtyard. There is a pond in front of the pavilion, and the water is covered with lotus flowers.
At this moment, a plump, mature-looking middle-aged woman was sitting in the pavilion, fishing with a fishing rod in her hand.
She was dressed simply, like a peasant woman.
However, there was a vague aura that was unfathomable.
"Clan leader, we have been brought here!"
Bringing Ye Chen and An An to the pavilion, Yun Bufan said respectfully to the woman.
"Well, please step back first and I'll talk to them alone!"
"Patriarch, this young man not only holds the Regicide Sword, he is also very strong. I am worried..."
Yun Bufan originally looked wary, but before he finished speaking, the woman waved her hand, "It doesn't matter, he can't hurt me!"
"This is!"
Yun Bufan hesitated for a moment, nodded, and then retreated.
But before leaving, he did not forget to whisper to Ye Chen, "In front of the clan leader, you'd better not be presumptuous, otherwise it will do you no good!"
Ye Chen also heard it, but turned a deaf ear.
Although he brought An An here to recognize his relatives, if the other party did not want to recognize An An as a tribe, or wanted to let them die here, he would not be able to just sit back and die.
"Your name is Ye Chen, right?"
The woman turned her head and looked over, with a faint smile on her face, giving people the illusion of being very kind.
But after looking at each other, Ye Chen became a little wary.
Unfathomable!
This was the first feeling he had in his heart after meeting this woman's eyes.
His eyes were so deep that it was impossible to fathom, and his aura was so deep that he couldn't tell any clues.
"Junior Ye Chen has met the clan leader!"
Shocked, Ye Chen still bowed his hands respectfully.
After all, there are things to ask for.
And the other party is the supreme leader of the Soul Clan, so the most basic etiquette is still required.
"Are you surprised that the clan leader is a daughter?"
The woman said again.
"This...yes!"
Ye Chen hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
Before coming here, he had inquired with the people from the Soul Clan.
The current leader of the Soul Clan is named An Ruyue!
When he just heard the name, he felt a little strange.
This name seems a bit feminine.
Only after seeing it with his own eyes did he realize that the patriarch was actually a woman.
"I heard that you will tell the origin of the Regicide Sword only after meeting the leader of the clan, right?"
An Ruyue put down the fishing rod and pointed to the two stone chairs in the pavilion, "Come sit down and talk slowly!"
"Thank you, clan leader!"
Ye Chen was not polite and strode into the pavilion with An Xin.
Then, he sat down on the stone chair carelessly.
"Can you take out the Regicide Sword and show it to me?"
An Ruyue didn't care about Ye Chen's familiar actions, but asked politely.
"That's fine!"
Ye Chen did not refuse, he stretched out his five fingers, and with a "clang" sound, a purple sword with a length of three meters appeared out of thin air in his hand.
"It really is a regicide sword!"
An Ruyue's expression changed slightly.
However, she did not intend to rob him, but said with great interest: "Now that you have met the leader of the clan, can you tell me the origin of the Regicide Sword in detail?"
"sure!"
Ye Chen nodded, and then roughly recounted his experience of obtaining the Regicide Sword.
He came to the Soul Clan not only to solve the mystery of An Xi's life experience and to lift the curse, but also to solve the hidden dangers of the Regicide Sword.
And if he wanted to solve all this, he naturally couldn't hide anything.
The most important point is that there is nothing shameful about him obtaining the Regicide Sword, and he is naturally not afraid of people from the Soul Clan knowing about it.
"Is it just an unexpected gain?"
After listening to Ye Chen's narration, An Ruyue's eyes flashed with a hint of disappointment.
"What's wrong?"
Ye Chen frowned and said, "Is it different from what the patriarch imagined?"
"Not really!"
An Ruyue shook her head, "I originally thought that since you got the Regicide Sword, you must be a member of my own clan, but now it seems that you are not a member of my soul clan!"
"Yes, I am indeed not from your soul clan!"
Ye Chen nodded.
"Then let's go!"
An Ruyue waved her delicate hand, "The further away from my soul clan's territory, the better. Don't come back again in the future!"
"You don't welcome me?"
Ye Chen was a little puzzled, "If my guess is right, the regicide sword in my hand should have been made by your soul clan. Now that I have brought it here, aren't you curious at all?"
"There is curiosity, but it only goes so far!"
An Ruyue sighed: "Since you are not the queen of An Haoran, you have nothing to do with our soul clan."
"not to mention……"
She pointed at the Regicide Sword in Ye Chen's hand, "If the law enforcers know about this murderous weapon in your hand, it will bring disaster to our Soul Clan, so our Soul Clan will naturally not welcome you!"
