Chapter Thirty-One: A Nighttime Conversation

  Because he was reborn with memories, Yi Chen's mind still had a face full of kindness, those eyes full of kindness made him feel warm when he thought about it now.

  In this life, Mother, Yi Chen only met her once, on the day he was born, the treasure pavilion of the Yi family caught fire, and his mother also disappeared.

  Yi Chen had always suspected that the fire at Cang Bao Ge was related to her mother, but she had never been able to confirm it. Now, upon hearing Yi Si Qing's words, Yi Chen immediately perked up her ears.

  "After your mother went missing, we've been searching for her everywhere. The Yuangen Empire is full of our Ye family's informants, but it's as if your mother vanished into thin air."

  "In the treasure pavilion, we also found some clues of arson. The other party can sneak into the Yi family silently and take people away silently, it can be seen that they are not simple characters." Yi Siqing said in a low voice.

  "How could this be? Was there anything unusual that happened before my mother went missing?" Yi Chen furrowed his brow and asked.

  "However, there was something unusual. In the days leading up to the disappearance, the Ye family would often hear faint whistling sounds at night. Moreover, according to the servants' reactions, strange creatures could sometimes be seen flying in mid-air at night during those days."

  "But according to my cultivation in the Yellow Soul Realm, I couldn't sense their existence at all. At that time, I thought it was just the servants' eyes playing tricks on them, until your mother went missing and we finally came to our senses. Unfortunately, everything was too late."

  After listening to Yi Si Qing's words, a thoughtful expression flashed across Yi Chen's face. As a Huang Hun Realm cultivator with extremely strong perception, those so-called strange creatures that could evade his probing were indeed very powerful things.

  "I was sleeping in bed at first, and it seemed like I really heard the Xiao music, then I fell asleep in a daze." Yi Chen muttered to himself. He still clearly remembered the scene of the first night he came to this world.

  He didn't dare say it out loud, and even if he did, no one would believe him. Who has ever heard of a child who can understand what the Xiao music is as soon as they are born?

  "Now this matter can only be investigated slowly, and I hope to find your mother back." Seeing Yi Chen's appearance, Yi Si let out a sigh of relief and said softly.

  Coming back from his reverie, Yi Chen nodded lightly, but a resolute glint flashed in his eyes.

  In this life, his mother will definitely come back in person. He will never forget that loving gaze.

  "Grandfather, you've come here so late at night. You're not just here to tell me this one thing, are you?" Yi Chen thought to himself, a smile appearing on his face as he spoke.

  "The Dragon General Competition is about to begin, and you are the only descendant of our family's direct line. In other words, you will represent us in the Dragon General Championship." Yisi Qing thought for a moment before speaking.

  "Participate in the Dragon's Hegemony Competition?" Upon mentioning this familiar term, Yi Chen slightly froze, and then a hint of excitement flashed across his eyes.

  "For generations, the Dragon will compete for dominance. Our family has always been at the bottom, and our position in the Yuan Xuan Empire is precarious. Chen Er, the hope of our family now rests on your shoulders." After saying this, Yi Siqing felt like he had aged a decade or so, clearly worried about the future of his family.

  "Don't worry, Grandpa, I definitely won't let you down." Yi Chen said this with great determination.

  "Your beast soul is only at level one, otherwise with your cultivation talent, you will definitely shine in the Dragon General Competition." Yi Chen's words made Yi Si feel relieved, but he didn't know that Yi Chen's beast soul could be upgraded, so he was still worried about Yi Chen.

  "You're so late in coming here, I suppose it's not to say such hurtful words?" Yi Chen said with a smile, without explaining the matter of the beast soul.

  "You little guy is quite clever indeed. According to your strength, you can only be at the bottom, but if you can advance to Zhenhun Realm, your chances of winning will greatly increase."

  "Really? There's only a short month left before the Dragon Will Contend for Hegemony Convention starts. And normally, advancing to the Chen Soul Realm would take at least half a year of cultivation. Do you have some way to quickly increase your cultivation?"

  "There is a way, but the process is quite dangerous, I'm afraid." A look of concern and reluctance flashed across Yisi Qing's face.

  "There is no word 'fear' in Yi Jia Ren's dictionary." Yi Chen urgently wanted to increase his strength, and according to his current Star Soul Realm cultivation, he was still too weak.

  "Dead camp." As soon as Yi Chen's words fell, Yi Siqing made a decision and said these two words that shocked Yi Chen.

  The Yuan Xuan Empire has been at war for many years and needs a constant supply of troops. In the empire, there is a special group of people who are death row prisoners.

  Executing them would be a waste, but keeping them would also consume food, so the empire came up with a way to kill two birds with one stone: gathering death row inmates together into a battalion and using them as cannon fodder on the front lines.

  Most of those who were sentenced to death were tough guys. Retreat was death, and if they performed well, there was still a chance for promotion and amnesty. So they killed the enemy even more brutally, and could be called the empire's sharp knife.

  But this sharp knife is not easy to use, especially in times of no war, so the empire can only gather them in a camp.

  And if Yicheng didn't remember wrongly, the Dead Camp belonged to the Yi family, where there were a total of 20,000 dead warriors. Fights often broke out among them, and only the strong were respected in that place of slaughter!

  "It's too dangerous there, even if it's a Tianling Realm, I don't dare to set foot easily." Yisi Qing shook his head and said.

  "Humans can only unleash their potential when faced with danger. If I want to break through to the Zhenyuan realm within a month, I'm afraid I have no choice but to go to that place." Yi Chen's face was set in determination.

  "In that case, I'll arrange an identity for you to blend in with the Dead Camp." Eise knew his grandson's temperament very well, so he didn't try to dissuade him.

  When his voice fell, Yi Siqing left a few more words of reminder before turning around and leaving.

  "The Dragon will compete for the championship, it's really exciting." Yi Chen's face showed excitement, after all, he had watched the Dragon Championship before, and the hot-blooded scene was still clearly remembered.

  "Yi's family has been at the bottom for several years, and after these few years, Yi's family reputation has declined year by year. The only way to save it is to win a championship." Thinking of Xi Qing's hard work for Yi's family every day, Yi Chen's determination became even stronger.

  If it were in the past, he might not have had confidence, but now he has the Heavenly Book and a beast soul that can be upgraded! This gave him a few more points of self-confidence.

  "Even a strong Zhenhun Realm cultivator wouldn't dare to set foot in easily. The Dead Camp, it's really making me look forward to it, I hope I can stimulate my potential there." A voice filled with anticipation echoed in the room.
